Postmaster J. o. Horswill was in
Wednesday from the Hettinger county
metropolis bearing his name. He was
accompanied by his niece, Miss Green.
who was returning to- her home in Beach.
MI: and Mrs. HorswillI have pioneered
it for several years. first homesteading
and later in the mercantile business.
and they naturally rejoice over the
present railroad prospects. The Northern
Pacific survey runs past their place and
they feel confident that the farmers can
market grain at Horswill in the fall.
The town is situated in about the geo
graphical center Of the county, and Mr..
Horswill thinks that it would be a
good point for a division of the Western
Dakota Railroad Co., being 102 miles
distant from Mandan.

and you have good reasons to be proud
of the Grand result you have gained
through your efforts. The ten thousand
population mark is not very far ahead.
but in order that each one Of these ten
thousand shall be prosperous it is nee
essary that more of the lands close in

yield up the dollars buried in the rsoil.
Heretofore it has been customary to
send the land seekers away forty miles
or more where other towns have sprung
up and nov get the benefit of these

MAYOR NAMES COMMISSION
is APPOINTED To REVISE CITY
CHARTER AND CODIFY Or
DINANCES OF DAWSON.

At the meeting of the city council
Tuesday night that body authorized
Mayor Marlin to appoint commits
sion of seven to revise the charter of
the city and codify all of the ordi-
nances. The mayor named on this
commission two citizens. two mem
bers of the council and two lawyers,
as follows:
Citizens: j. C. Dean and E. L.
Rainey.
Councilmen: j. S. Lowrey and R.
NJ. Stewart.
Attorneys: City Attorney w. H.
Gurr and H. A. Wilkinson.
Upon motion the council voted
to add the mayor to the commission.
The commission met Wednesday
morning and organized with Mayor
Marlin as chairman and Mr.. R. e.
Bell as clerk.
The attorneys were appointed a
committee to prepare a copy of the
present charter with all of it's amend
ments and all of the ordinances for
each member of the commission, and
the clerk was instructed to secure
copies of the charters of half a dozen
other cities, including a Texas city
that has the commission form of gov
eminent.
The city has outgrown the present
charter, which has peen patched so
often that it is really hard to tell
just what it is. The ordinances of
the city are also in a chaotic condi-
ton. There are a half dozen differ
ent ordinances on one subject, it is
said, and there are numbers of others
that no effort is made to enforce. The
city laws are in such condition that
no one really has an intelligent idea
of just what is or is not the law in
| Dawson.
The gentlemen who have been
named to perform this important
duty will no doubt do so conscien-
tiously and intelligently, without re-
gard to any fractional differences that
may exist or any particular issue or
question. Their only purpose will be
to provide a charter that will be for
the whole people and the welfare of
the city.

HAVE ENOUGH OF NIGH BEER
Council Did Not Want to Hear Anv
Further Discussion of the
FOamy Studs,


The city council did not take anv
further notice of the near beer cues
ton at it's meeting Tuesday night.
The committee appointed It the
meeting that was held to protest
against the licensing of the suds, and
which had previously conferred with
the council, were present to further
press the resolutions that were
adopted demanding the repeal of the
license ordinance, and Judge Ed
wards, the spokesman of the commit
tee, stated to the council that he
would like to be heard in their be-
half.
One or two members of the coun-
Gil stated that they had not changed
their position on the matter, and
thought further discussion would be
useless, while another declared that
the whole question was one for the
Georgia legislature.
Nothing more was said, and Mayor
Marlin asked if anyone desired to
make a motion. Silence continued.
and the mayor raped the table with
his gavel and announced that the
business of the meeting would be
proceeded with.
And thus ended the nigh beer ru-
Gus in Dawson-for the present.
