Signs of Spring

Nothing, not even the young
mans fancy, which the poet would
have US believe turns at this sea
son lightly to thoughts of love, is
so Indicative Of the approach of
spring as the renewed activity Of
the base ball enthusiast. Philip
fans have been shifting the breeze
expectantly for several weeks.
Out at Rapid City several games
have already been played and our
near neighbors are getting into
the game.
At a meeting held on Wednes-
day evening it was decided that
Cottonwood should put ball team
in the field the coming season that
would trim any of the teams in
the surrounding towns. The com
mittee appointed to solicit funds
report around 800 already sub
scribed with about that much
more in sight. A practice game

A Pitiful Case

Our old friend Leedom of the
Cottonwood Republican is not i'm.
proving. If anything he is be-
coming every day more and more
the victim of his hallucinatiOns.
His mania takes the form of an
utterly unreasonable belief that his
town Of Cottonwood is the most
enterprlslng, most prosperous,
and most promising town in all
the new country west of the
Missouri river. In fact, when
Chess is in one of his bad spells
there is to him no other town in
all the world quite so remarkable
as Cottonwood. As a natural
corollary to this delusion, the Re-
publican editor believes that Philip
is merely al insignificant excres-
sence upon the geography of what
would otherwise Ee fair and
prosperous country. Witness his
latest out breaks:
The following was handed us
to print saying that it applicable
to Cottonwood the best town of
the whole bunch:
Mary had a little sheep,
Its home was Philip, down the
way,
At Cottonwood it had a peep
And now you can't chase the
dam sheep away
Last fall when the experiment
station was located in this county
we stated that it was eight miles
west of Philip, which is approx
mately correct, but Leedom declares
that it is thirty four miles from
Philip to the station, and insists
on filling each issue of his paper
with brain drips like the following:
Work on the experimental
farm started Monday morning. A
month or SO latter things will be-
gin to hum on the farm two miles
east of Cottonwood and only
eight y miles west Of Philip

Sheriff Huston Has A New Board.
er...N Not at the Jail

Sheriff Huston, who spent sever
al days at Gettysburg as a witness
IN the Tom Barnes case, was on
the witness stand last Monday and
was in the middle of the most in
teresting part of his testimony
when a telegram was brought up
the aisle of the court room and
placed in his hand The court
allowed him time to read it and it's
contents were as follows: Con
gratulations on the new dishwash-
er. (Signed) Treasurer's Office. y
George was so illustrated that he
forgot the story he WAS going to
tell to stick an innocent horse buy
er, and could hardly wait until the
case was concluded. On Tuesday
afternoon both the state and de-
fense declared their cases closed.
just then George looked out of
the window and saw the afternoon
train getting ready to leave.
Grabbing his overcoat and hat he
left the court house on a high Iope,
after hurriedly requesting that
any one of his friends who might
have money left should settle his
various bills and bring his luggage
when the crowd came. 1t is
Georges first girl and all are re-
ported doing well.-The Fairplay.

RumOred Railroad Building

The following paragraphs Of al
legged news percolated through the
press of the Northwest last week,
appearing in Minneapolis, Aber-
deem, Sioux Falls, and Rapid City
papers. We publish the article,
and you may paste it away in
your scrap-book Of pipe dreams.
The recent fight made at
Washington against the establish
ing of a new land office at LeBeau
was a six-day wonder, but is such
no longer. What puzzles those in
the know, as regards the fight
made, was that this should occur
in the face of the coming opening
of the Cheyenne lands.
The mystery was cleared when
the announcement was, made at
Aberdeen yesterday that the Mil
waukee road will build branch
from Mobrid9e in southwesterly
course to the very heart of the
new country. When the eastern
boundary of Schnasse county is
reached, according to a map of the
proposed route published in last
nights Aberdeen American, the
route will lead directly south until
the geographical center of the
Cheyenne country is reached.
''The NJ. & St. L. will also build
in a direction 4 li:tle south Of
west, from its Missouri river
terminus at LeBeau. The North
western will extend from Philip
northwest into the Belle Fourche
country. -
1.-The three extensions will open
up = rich country, full Of 'possibili-
ties for the farmer, and the roads
expect to have the cars running on
the extension. BY the time the
homesteaders move on their land,

Complaint has come to the
GRAPHIC this week Of the extra
number of tramps that are hang
ing around the city. to the great
annoyance of many citizens. The
railroads are especially troubled
with this class of undesirable cit
liens, who frequently break into
freight cars and are eyerlastingly
hanging around the waiting
rooms. Officers rounded up q
bunch this weak. but az the
county does not at present pay
the board of this class of tourists
it is rather discouraging TO the
officers to do the work wher
there is nothing doing in the pay
line. These things should be
given proper attention. and prob.
ably will be soon.
LATER:-The thing is partly
solved. Marshal Howard had q
bunch at work on the streets
Wednesday morning.

Governor w. ]. Mills.

In conversation with certain
citizens of New Mexico, Secre-
tary Of the Interior Richard A.
Ballinger is understood to have
stated that he considered the
present as a most critical period
in New Mexico's history mas
much as the approach of state
hood brings new problems and
novel responsibles, and that for
that reason both he and Presi-
dent Taft were particularly anx-
ious to select as governor a man
whose character, training and
experience fit him to serve as
guide through the hitherto unex-
plored paths of political indie
pendence. President Taft, it is
reported, further added that the
new appointee should be a man
Of legal training and with judi
cial experience. Both of them
saw clearly the Importance of
naming a man whose hand would
be steady on the helm. whose
vision clear, and whose character
would inspire respect and conf
dence in the people he is to lead.

report.

man who meets these require
ments President Taft has made
no mistake. His long residence
In the territory, commencing
twenty-four years ago. has made
him perfectly familiar with the
people Of New Mexico. Collect
lively he knows their needs and
wishes, their merits and short
comings. Individually he knows
their character and reputation,
political and otherwise, their am
billions and their deserts. He
Is not an outsider coming among
strangers. unknowing and un-
known. but a friend with a list
of acquaintance equaled by but
few, if any, of the public men Of
the territory. He has always
taken that interest in politics
that should be found in every
man who aspires to be called a
good citizen. though, of course,
political activity has been denied
him during his long years of SER
vice on the bench. His legal
training and experience at the
bar, rounded out by three sue
cessful terms as chief justice,
have taught him to weigh public
questions, to judge between the
real and the false, to differenti-
ate sincerity from hypocrisy hon.
est appreciation from sycophancy.
His legal ability Is a matter of
common knowledge, his integrity
has never been questioned. He
is pre-eminently a business man.
a man of affairs, familiar with
and well able to handle financial
matters. 1t is in large part due
to his suggestions and advice
that the counties embraced in
the district are today on a sound
financial basis and his admins
tration will certainly be marked
by a businesslike management Of
territorial affairs.
Judge Mills did not seek the
position. His appointment is a
rare example of an office seeking
the man. Not even his closest
friends were aware until the last
few days that his name was be-
ing considered in connection with
the governorship. His reap
pointment as chief justice was
taken for granted. He will en-.
ter upon his new duties with the
united support of his own politi.
cal party and with the good
wishes of the people as a whole.
His appointment is an honor to
and to the territory
