Atlant' s Great
White WAY


Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 15.gFhe Great
White Way was formally opened in
Atlanta last night. From the Ter
minal station to the Aragon hotel
white lights blazed, turning night
into day, while thousands of Allan
tians paraded the streets. Practical,
ly a solid mile of the mantle Of darS.
ness was ripped asunder and light
through mans ingenuity was made
to stream down the paved streets
equal to the light of day.
The great white way is unique;
in fact no city in the south can boast
of such display. 1t will measure
up to the undertakings of the Gig
gest metropolis in the county. gay
Gotham. OF course it costs money
to provide 50 many and such big
lights, but the city and the merchants
shared the expenses.
Horns footed, bells rang and there
was grand parade ending with
speech-making to mark the occasion.
Truly Atlanta's night of festivity
proved a carnival event. Several
thousand trumpets were ordered AMI
sold for a nickel apiece by street
venders. Think of the noise, the
hideous noise. that was reverberat'
ing on Atlanta's principale thorough.

City Court Of Brunswick.

q. w. Lewis, a young man employ.
sed as motorman by the City & Sit
burban Railway company, was yes
terday arrested under warrant
charging larceny, sworn out by the.
ofhcials of the company. Later In,
the day he was released, having Civ
en- bond in the sum of $3.50, S. J.s

curity on the bond. The warrant was
sworn out before Judge d. w. Krauss
OF the city court OF Brunswick, and
Is returnabie to the next session Of
that court, to be held directly after
the Christmas holidays.
The specific charge alleged In the
warrant is the pilfering of the de.
post boxes in the new pay-as-you
enter cars of the company, which
have been in operation IN the city
since the City q Suburban inaugl-
rated their service. 1t seems that
for some time past the officials Of

fastened itself on Lewis. Night be-

man was seen to invert one of the
cash boxes and empty the contents
on one Of the rear seats.
1t is also claimed that the company

the offense charged. When young
Lewis was confronted with the
charPes by Superintendent Arm

was anxious to know If there was
not some way to squasa legal pro-
ceedings against him.
Previous to his employment by the
railway people, Lewis was menibAr
of the city fire department and up 40
this time he has enjoyed a good rep.

courteous motorman The officials
of the company regret the occurrence
but they feel that for the good OF
the service and as matter of Jrc-

law in the case should be invoked.

of good family and has mans-

JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR

AS the personal character of C. A.
Johnson is becoming better known
throughout the state the republican
voters of all shades of factional
opinion are coming to the belief that
Mr.. johnson should not have been de-
feated two years ago. says the Linton
Record. He is an able and clean man
in every respect. For eight years he
was county superintendent of Ward
county, and gave general satisfaction.
He was mayor of Minot two terms, and
served his district in the lower house of
the legislature at the sessions of 1905
and 1907.
At the latter session he introduced a
concurrent resolution for constitutional
amendment providing for the establish
ment of normal school at Minot, and,
after a brisk contest, in which the
interests at Rugby as the seat of the
proposed normal school were advocated
by Representative Tofsrud, Mr.. johnson
was successful. The resolution passed
both houses, was by the 1909 session
again passed, and will be submitted to
the voters at the coming election. The
proposed amendment will undoubtedly be
adopted by the voters, as that great
area of thickly-settled country in the
northwest part of the state now has no
institution for the education of teachers.
The writer served with Mr.. johnson at
the session of 1905 and 1907, and there
is not man who was member of either
of those sessions. of whatever party OF
faction. who will not bear witness to
the ability and personal kindness of
Charlie johnson. As ex-senator Hans
brough remarked the other day in a
speech: &C. A. johnson possesses most
of those personal characterize which
made John A. Johnon of Minneota be.
loved by all who knew him.

coal lands has frightened tho people.
In reality, for most territory. there is
nothing in it.
The Dickinson U. S. land Office is TAX
ing an average of about three homestead
proofs day. and no claimant, after
talking the matter over with the register
and receiver. has objected to taking the
patent which the government gives.
1t is well known fact that compara-
lively few homesteads contain merchan-
table coal. and II a claim has vein Of
Ignite coal like the Lehieh OF Zenith
mines the homesteader could not get it
anyway. When making application for
the land the claimant swore that the
land did not contain merchantable coal.
At tie present time the government
will not put any price on coal lands,s
heretofore sold at $40 to $40 per acre.
according to the distance from railroads.
But. as already stated, there are COM
paratively few claims having coal
worth mining. There may be some for
domestic purposes but that is all.
The patent which the government is
giving today is identically the same as
the one given in the past, with this
paragraph inserted:
"Reservine, however, to the United
States all coal in the lands so entered,
and to it, or persons authorized by it,
the right to prospect for. mine and re-
move coal from the same upon compli-
ance with conditions of and subject to
the limitations of the act of March 3,
19O9."
The act referred to. among other things
says:
THE coal deposits in such lands shall
be subjec to disposal by the United
States in accordance with the provisions
of the coal land laws in force at the
time of sucll disposed. but no person
shall enter upon said lands to prospect
for, or mine and remove coal therefrom.
without previous consent of the owner
under such patent, except upon such
conditions as to security for and pay
ment of all damages to such owner
caused thereby as may be determined
by court of competent jurisdiction {:
Provided. That the owner under such
patent shall have the right to mine coal
for use on the land for domestic pur-
poses. etc. -
In reality the foregoing amounts to
nothing to the owner having no mer-
chantab]e coal on his claim. The
claimant certainly knows. in almost
every case, whether or not there is mer-
chantable coal on his land and if there
is none. why bother around and spend a
lot of money for nothing?
If an owner of a homestead really has
valuable coal deposits, it would be best
to ask for hearing, but not other
wise,

COMMISSIONER MCKENZIE

The appointment of D. w. Mckenzie
to fill the vacancy in the second COM
missioner district caused by the resig-
nation of Commissioner Andrew Jopp
was the proper thing for the appointing
board to make. Mr.. Mckenzie resigned
his position of commissioner last spring
to enable the board to proceed with the
redistricting of the county. He did it
because he thought it for the best inter-
ests of the county to have the boundary
lines changed and the only way to make
it possible, without creating additional
districts, and needless expense. was to
make a vacancy on the board. which he
did voluntarily. In doing SO Mr.. Nc
Kenzie showed to the people that he
was not caring for the Office any further
than for what benefit. as citizen and
tax payer. he could be to his consti-
tuency.
In the meantime the republican elec-
tors of the second district nominated D.
w. Mckenzie at the June primaries for
another four-yea term. which action the
people will gladly ratify at the Novem-
Der election.
Andrew Jopp has been resident of
Stark county for more than quarter of
a century and has won for himself the
reputation OF being an honest and up
right citizen, serving the county several
terms as commissioner. On account of
poor health and the further fact that his
store business requires all of his atten-
tion, Mr.. Jopp elected to give up the
commissionership which would expire
with this year.
MIR. Mckenzie. who will qualify at
the regular October meeting, has been a
resident of Dickinson since the early
eighties. In fact, he was out this way
with the N. P. bridge crews before the
town was plated and put in all together
13 years with the company. making
