A Costly Lottery.

Washington Post: Twelve millions
for transportation In connection with
the land lotteries on the Flathead and
Occur dAlene reservations this sum
mer. This Is the estimate of the
president of the Great Northern rail-
way. which got its share Of this huge
sum. and President Hill says he Is
heartily ashamed of it. When the
hotel bills and other expenses are
taken into consideration. 1t will be
found that this sum Is almost doubled.
That Is, 1t cost the people of the
United States about $20,000,000 to OPP
en- a settlement a few hundred farms
on the public domain. OF the host of
prospective settlers, who went west
to the drawing. not one in thous-
and stood any chance Of getting the
coveted farm from Uncle Sam, and
many of these Adventures who failed
to draw the lucky number have found
themselves stranded far from home
and friends.
Although the enormous crowd which
head reservation shows that the land
hunger Is still keen and that the
gambling instinct is as much alive as
when we built churches by means of
lotteries, the federal government fails
to emerge from the situation with any
particular credit Rather 1t has so
Uianaged the affair that $12,000000
has been unnecessarily transferred to
the treasures of various railroads as
the principal beneficiries of clumsy
and foolish system. 1t Is not much
better than the riotous rush with
which the Oklahoma reservation was
opened to settlement. Congress
should see to it that when the next
reservations are opened the proper
machinery Is provided which will pre-
vent needless waste Of time and
snoney. plan perfected by an of,
ficiai of the land office, which should
solve the problem, probably will be
presented to congress at the next
session for legal sanction. 1t provides
that lottery entries may be made by
mail to the land Office here. each ap-
piicaton to be accompanied by a
small deposit to show good faith, to-
gether with other safeguards. 1t is
a common sense solution of the prob
lem, and if we must have the lottery
system of land openings, it points the
right way.

BANK ADVERTISING.
F. w. Ellsworth of Chicago Before Cal.
ifornia Bankers Association.


ut is not long ago that the banks
considered it undignified to solicit
business in any way. Today the bank
which has the same conception of the
word and refuses to exert itself to
secure customers, is either standing
still or losing ground, with the chances
in favor of the latter condition.
"Undeniably, ghis is true, whether
all bankers are pleased with the
changed conditions or not. Exertion
for new business may, indeed, become
overeXertion, and then the bank pays
too dear for its whistle. But legiti-
mate means of adding to a banks
bushes by advertising or other pro-
per form of bidding for popular favor
can be defended upon many grounds.
rs it better, for example, for re-
putable savings banks to advertise
their facilities for taking care of peo-
pies money, returning it when wanted
with interest, or to allow the savings
of the thrifty to be hid away in the
ground, in the unused stove or in
various hiding places, to be lost, stolen
or destroyed? Should the banks re-
frain from advertising while every
get-rich-quick scheme under the sun
is trying to entire the peoples money
away from them? Shall the bucket
shop be allowed to put forth It's glar'
ing announcements while the bank
or bond dealer with safe and sound
securities to sell keeps silent?
Those who do not favor bank ad'
vertising must answer these questions
affirmatiyely-but there are precious
few such banks in the country.

in its competition for the public's
money. schemes into conflict with

"Johnny Jones" Is Good Show.

Norfolk will see a rafting good
show next Friday night when Little
Johnny Jones" comes to town.
1t will be the first big musical com
edy of the year, and the fact that It
has already made a great reputation
should insure for it packed house in
this town where high grade musical
comedy always does make big hit.
No musical play presented last sea
son enjoyed such phenomenal prosper
ity, it having played eight different
times in New York city during the
season, covering a period of six
months. 1t was also seen for two
weeks in Boston, four months In Chi
cago, four weeks in Philadelphia, and
all the other principal cities. Little
Johnny Jones" was written by George
Nj. Cohan, who also composed the mu-
sic and has personally staged the pres
ent production. Probably no writer OF
musical comedy has had so many dis
tinct successes as Mr.. Cohan, Forty
five Minutes From Broadway"
George Washington, jr.," Running
for Office" and THE Governors Son."
which have attained great popularity.
being the work of his pen. Little
Johnny Jones" is conceded the best
work that Mr.. Cohan has yet offered
the public. 1t has a pretty and inter.
esting story concerning the adventures
of an American jockey who goes to
England to win fame and fortune on
the English turf. There is a plot
which holds the attention of the audi
enCe from first to last which the &C
ton of the play is interrupted by some
lively and very tuneful music during
the three acts, and each one of the
songs attained very wide popularity
last season. The production that will
be seen here is very large and COM
plete, embracing three mammoth stage
settings showing exterior of the Hotel
Cecil in London, the steamship pier
at Southampton, with the departure OF
an ocean liner, an Illuminated steamer
at sea, and a street scene In the Chi
nese quarter of San Francisco. The
company that will present Little
Johnny Jones" in this city contains
fifty people and embraces in its cast
of principals many stage favorites.
The chorus is promised as very large
and proficient. AS Little Johnny
Jones" will doubtless prove one OF the
big events of our local theatrical sea
son, a crowded house Is assured In

MANUFACTURES SCHEDULE.
Adoption Of the Form for the Thr
teenth Census.

teerth Census.
Washington, Nov. 6.-The general
schedule which will be used in the
federal census of manufactures for
the calendar year 1909 has been for
mulated, and about 100000 printed
copies have been ordered by Census
Director E. Dana Durand.
The schedule is in the form of a
four-page folder, about 9X1112 inches
in size. 1t is smaller and simpler than
the ones upon which the 1900 and
1905 censuses of manufactures were
taken. 1t has less than half as many
spaces for entries as the earlier ones
and seems likely to insure less labor
aud greater accuracy in the collection
of the manufactures data.
There are in the general schedule,
thirteen principal questions, with their
subdivisions. This is the same num-
Der as in the general schedule for 1905.
There are, however, important differ
ences between the two schedules.
These comprise in the 1909 schedule,
the new questions authorized by con-
gress: the elimination of former que
ries to which it is impossible to OBJ
tain approximately accurate replies;
and also the simplifcation of others
by their separation or combination in
other forms,
One of the subdivisions of the ques-
ton relating to power employed for
manufacturing purposes, calls for the
name of the stream or lake from which
water is obtained to generate power,
whether direct or electric. This infor-
nation will he valuable in census of
the country's water power plants and
operations. In case congress provides
for 1t later.
Another new question involves the
anantity OF fuel used, whether anthra'
cite coal bituminous coal coke, wood
oil, gas or other kind. This is expect
ed to elicit replies affording consid
erable data on the fuel conservation
question.
The thirteen principal questions are

Will Not Try Bert O'eanion.

The authorities Of Custer county, b.
sal of the case against A. p. O'Banion,
formerly of Norfolk and now prom
inent Custer county ranchman, who
last winter was arrested on the charge
of being responsible for the death OF
his nephew, Eddie Davis, a mere boy,
who lost his life by being thrown TIN
der load Of logs when the wagon on
which he was riding was overturned.
The case was called for trial In tho
state circuit court of Custer county
few days ago, and an effort was made
by the attorneys for the defendant to
secure change of venue, on the
ground that a prejudice against the
defendant existed throughout Custer
county. The motion was denied, but
after twentyfour prospective jurymen
had been examined, coming from all
parts of the county, and out Of that
number only one could be found who
had not formed or expressed an opin,
ion about the case, the court decided
that the motion for the change OF
venue would be granted and the case
was ordered transferred to the circuit
court of Meade county.
Now, however, the Custer county
authorities have decided to push the
case no further, and accordingly 1t
will be dismissed and O'Banions
bondsmen released. The case has at
tracted wide attention In western
South Dakota during the many months
it has been pending.
