RAILROADS FOR sULLY COUNTY

two weeks many surveyors for the
C. e N. w. railroad company have
been at work on surveys leading
from Onida. AS was stated in our
last issue permanent survey stakes
have been put in from Blunt to Onlda
and line was surveyed northwest to
the vicinity of Lewiston, then turn
ing north. On Tuesday of this week

believe it will be extended to Forest
City.
Though not having begun work as
vet it is we'll understood that the
Minneapolis & st. Louis road is max
ing plans for the building of road
from Aberdeen to Pierre. Repres-
entatves of the company speak fav-
orably of Onida as a point on the
route. The old grade will undoubt-
eddy be followed from Aberdeen to
the Sully county line on the east then
southwark to Pierre over the Dry

SOUTH DAKOTA MAsoNs.

The South Dakota grand lodge, A.
f. 81 A. NJ, now in session in Water
town, elected officers this morning,
promoting the occupants Of the prin-
cipal chairs in regular order.
There are but two aspirants for the
honor of entertaining the next grand
lodge-Pierre and Chamberlain. The
skirmish was short but decisive, the
state capital city winning in jog.
The officers chosen are tho follow
ing:
Most Worshipful Grand Master
Samuel A. Brown, Milbank.
Right Worshipful Deputy Grand
Master-Samuel S. Lockhart, Mil
bank.
Right .Worshipful Senior Grand
Warden-Chas. l.. Brockway, Cham
berlain.
Right Worshipful Junior Garnd
Warden-W Vim. j. McMakin, Terra
vile.
Right Worshipful Grand Treasurer
John G. Bryan, Mitchell (re-elected)
Right Worshipful Grand Secretary
Geo. A. Pettigrew, Sioux Falls Gre
elected for sixteenth time.)
The other grand officers are appoin-
tive, and will be designated during
the afternoon session.
The reports of the grand officers in
dictate gratifying growth in Masonry
during the past year-an awakening
all along the line, interest having
been largely revived in those spots
where lethargy has prevailed, to some
extent, in former years.

TEACH TEMPERANCE is BETTER.

Regarding the opinion expressed at
the brewers convention in Atlantic
City that the wave of prohibi-
ton is recedipg it is impossible to
reach definite conclusion. Certain
~ less is heard about prohibition just
now than was heard year or so ago.
The movement seems to be temporar-
lily, at least, at standstill. But since
its sudden exhibition of strength was
utterly unexpected and the ease with
which it spread over wide areas was
never understood it is just as we'll
not to predict what will happen in
the next stage. Some degree Of re-
action is perceptible. The prohibition
movement is not meeting with serious
reverses, nor is it losing any import
ant ground that it has won.
Brewers will do wellnot to pin their
faith on it's subsistence Their safest
procedure is to prepare for the future
by improving conditions under which
liquor is sold. The wholesale liquor
interests have it iii their power to
disarm criticism by putting stop to
abuses. Refusal to sell to olives"
and low resorts of a criminal charact-
or would do much to mitigate public
opposition to the traffic. Legisla
lures, too, have been known to listen
to the wholesale liquor interests. If
the brewers and distillers desired it
perhaps q proper limitation on the
number of saloons could be establish
ed by law. The reaction from prohibi.
ton is to be expected when its failure
brings on evils Of its own. Wher
that time comes the brewers and dis
tillers perhaps can prove there Is 8
better way than prohibition.

OPTIMISTIC FORECASTS
Success of the Republican
Ticket Is Assured If the VOt-
erS Turn Out and Americans
Do Not Cast Illegal Votes,
ALL READY FOR THE FRAY
BY FRED C. EooFRoURoW, RE-
PUBLICAN CITY CHAIRMAN.

The Republican party in Salt Lake is
closing one Of the most vigorous cam
paigns In its history with an OrganiZa-
ton Of enthusiastic and energetic work
ers who are showing their devotion TO the
interests of Salt Lake and the R6pub-
Hcan party by-fdithful and earnest work.
j. A Edwards, A H. Peabody and George
y. Lawrence viii be elected by a large
plurality, and there is every indication
that James d. Murdoch and II. p. Ny
ton will also be elected
The COuncilmen on the Republican tick
ct from the First, Third and Fourth pre-
cincts will be elected without doubt, and
IN the Second precinct the election OF j.
A. Dkman, Republican, is assured, with
the probability that W. E Nigus will
also be elected In the Fifth precinct
T. Mulvey viii be won by the Republic
ans if the American party can be pre-
vented from voting 400 or more illegally
registered persons in the Bifty-thiTd and
Fifty-fOurth districts. The contest for
the council in the Fifth precinct, how
ever, will be close.
Republicans should remember that the
sIay-at-hOme vote is never counted, and
10 insure victory there must be vigilance
In preventing frauds, as well as aCtiv-
fly on the part Of every supporter of the
ticket.
Throughout the campaign we have tried
to conduct a Straightforward, vigorous
and honorable political fight, and now,
on the eve of election, we are ready to
submit our case to the Judgment
Of the citizens of Salt Lake and abide
by their Judgment.

Trouble in indiana.

Indianapolis, NOV. l-EXtraOTdinaTy in
terest has developed in the election of
municipal officers in the cities of Indi-
ana tomorrow because of the bearing
the results win have on the next session
of the legislature. The next legislature
will choose a successor to United States
Senator Albert ]. Beverage, and also
probably will be called upon to deal with
further saloon legislation. The question
of strict or lax enforcement Of laws
governing liquor business has been par
amount in most municipal campaigns in
counties that have not yet voted dry
in option elections, and even in those
counties that have voted dry" the lib
eral element is making a fight for the
control of the municipal machinery, look
ing toward & second option election, which
may be held two years from the date
of the first one.
The Republicans have been in power
in most of the cities and towns of the
state, and 1t was a Republican legisla-
ture that passed the county option law.

chosen Republicans as his deputies. Ac-
COrding to Knots the first move of the

ROAD ALMOST FINISHED
Western Pacific VIII Soon Be Run
ming Trains Between Winnie
mucca and Salt Lake.

Reno, New, Nov. Late Saturday
evening the last rail connecting the two
stretches of track of the Western Pacific
company in Nevada was laid at point
about fifty miles north Of Reno and about
100 miles west OF Winnemucca. This com
pletes the Western Pacific road clear
across the state of Nevada, and with the
exception of about six miles of track be
tween Golconda and Winnemucca, which
still remains to be ballasted, the road is
ready for business.
1t is not expected that regular train
service will be started on the line before
the first Of next year, as but few of the
stations and sldetracSs will be completed
before that time. It is said, however,
that train service between Winnemucca
and Salt Lake City will be started as
soon as the ballastins between Winnie
mucca and Golconda is completed, which
will probably be in about week or ten
days
A special train containing the Western
Pacific officials is expected TO arrive In
WinremuCca today.
For some time past the Western Pacific
has been conducting train service betwee en-
Elko and Salt Lake City. ElkO is to be
the main division point OF the western
Pacific in Nevada.

TO RETURN
Business of the United States Ex-
eeeds That Of Last Year, Accord
eording to Figures.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Prosperity has ar
rived, according to a statement issued to-
day by the bureau Of statistics Of the
department of commerce and labor.
During September the business Of the
country and the volume of freight cars
reached proportions which excelled those
Of the same month last year. IN fact,
the bulletin declares. while the number
Of idle cars at the end Of last month had
not altogether disappeared, there were in
dications that the car shortage would
quickly develop.
These improved conditions are most pro-
nounced in the coal and iron trades The
movement of lumber also was somewhat
heavier.
There was q considerable slump in re-
ceipts of grain and flour at the four
leading seaports, and receipts of grain at
Is of the principal interior markets like
wise were below the aggregate for Sep
TENDER, 1898
A similar condition is uncovered in the
shipment of packing house products from
Chicago, the chief slump being on canned
meats, which show a relative loss over
the corresponding figures Of 1908 of ap-
prOximately IS per cent

Honest George Sheets worked all day
yesterday In the interest of the American
party, dividing mis- time between the gam
blers and the fallen women and their male
companions in the Commercial street dis
trict. A part of his work was TO see in
diyidually many Of the maCquereauX and
instruct them regarding their work on
election day, accompanying these instruc-
tons with the threat that salt Lake
would be made an extremely undesirable
place for them to live if the Fifty-tourth
district did not show the, expected heavy
majority for the American ticket. Sew
eral of these maCquereaux were assignee
to duty as checkers in the houses of i'll
Tepute, and they were made directly re-
spOnsible for the votes Of the women who
support them.
Order is Surprise.
The order closing the gambling houses
came as a surprise to most OF the knights
of the green table although they had
the services Of most of their employees
would be demanded on election day. Last
night was the first in many months, with
the exception of Sunday two weeks ago,
that the gambling games over MuIVey 5
saloon I'm East Second South street and
in the Kenyon and Wilson hotels and the
Log Cabin saloon had been closed, but
Sheets showed no favOTltes yesterday IN
giving his orders and they were opeyeu
without question. The games IN the ID. r.
Walker building and IN the Gift house
were also closed.
The attitude Of Sheets yesterday showed
that ne was really alarmed over the re-
ports that had been carried 10 him 10 the
effect that a revolt was brewing among
the men and women of the underworld,
on whom he has been levying tribute
through systematic blacBmailing methods
for the last few months. Some of his vic
tins have been cCvertly stating that they
will cut the whole, ticket of the party
which makes this petty grating part
of its general police through retaining
Honest George Sheets at the head of the
police department and although they will
be compelled through fear to work osten-
sibly for the American party, every vote
will be against the mayor who sustains
Sheets in his position

Beginning at $50 o'clock
this evening the election re-

be able to see them. They
will cover the returns from
every part of the union, and

turns will begin coming very
early. Especially good ar
rangements are being made
to give a thorough bulletin
service on the Salt Lake
City election and to see to
it that these bulletins are &C
curate and non-partisan.
AS an added attraction,

quotation of 1874 cents for electrolytic
