TRAINS STUCK
IN
Storm King Turned Loose On
Northwest Tuesday

The whistle Of an engine about
four o'clock Yesterday afternoon
was a signal for the whole populace
to brave the cold breezes and stick
their heads out to gaze eXpectantly
on what they supposed were the
''yaller" cars bringing some message
from the outside world, but alas
for human hopes, it was only an
recovered snow-plow and engine!
The belated passenger came trail
ing in from the east about two hours
later, and then the why's and
wherefores of this blockade were
discovered. There had been a wind
and snow storm all over the north
west Monday and Tuesday, and the
trains were stuck in drifts most any
old place. The blizzard was not re-
ported as severe as some former
ones of the winter, but the Their
mOmeter was down around fifteen
below, and the result was disastrous
to train service.
This immediate vicinity received
its share of the icy temperature, but
there was no blizzard here, as the
storm spent its force east of here.
The last train to pull in from the
east before the blockade was Mon
day noon. Dispatches state that it
has been the worst week of the win
ter on railroadlng, and no one will
deny that they have surely had the
share of troubles this winter.

STATE POLITICS
OCCUPY STAGE
Prospective Candidates Still En-
tering Political Arena

The interest of the daily and week
ly newspapers of South Dakota is
now center.d in the coming political
fight. Candidates for the state Of
fees are coming out with their an
nouncements every day, and there
is no danger Of its being a 'Hobson's
choice at the June primaries. The
congressional battle, so far, centers
in the Black Hills, where John F.
Schrader. of Rapid City, has come
out in opposition to Congressman
Martin.
Mr.. Schrader al nounced himself a
progressive %insurgent and plainly
outlines his policy. which is opposed
to the power that rules the national
house and senate. Mr. Martin, who
is in the ace to succeed himself, Is
steering a middle course and expects
in that way to get support from both
factions of the party. He has here
tofore soIidly carried the Black Hills
country.
In regard to the circuit Judge
ships, a dispatch from Pierre states
that the name of John Hughes, of
of Fort Pierre, has been suggested
as the opponent af Judge l.. t.
Boucher of the Sixth circuit.
The gubernatorial race is SO far
confined to the two candidates, Sam
ucl ElrOd, of the stalwartS, and K.
S. Wesley, of the insurgents. f. M.
Byrne, of Faulk, and }. w. Parmely
of Edmunds, are the men slated for
the office of lieutenant governor, by
the insurgents and stalwarts re-
s%pectively. The battle for attorney
general centers around Royal c.
Johnson, of Highmore. insurgent,
and Titus E. Price, of Yankton,
stalwart. Mr. Price is we'll known
here, and he also formerl y
d ed at Highmore. Sew,
eral complete suppositiouS tickets
have been already drafted. but it is
impossible yet to predict accurately
the names that will appear on the
primary ballot.

CANAL DIGGERS
ON PLANET MARS
Astronomy Expert Announces
That Mars is Inhabited by
Humans

Chicago, Feb. II, Announcement
of final proof that the planet Mars is
inhabited, made by Prof. Percival
Lowell, the famous Marian expert
and director of the observatory of
Flagstaff, Ariz,, to Chicago astrom-
omers, as he passed through the city
caused a STIR in astronomical circles.
Professor Lowell announced that
he had seen and photographed "A new
canal which sprang into being last
SUMMER, showing. he declared, that
it has been just completed by the
Martains, water had been turned in,
to itand vegetation had just sprung
up in a hitherto uninhabitable part
Of the great desert which comprises
most of the planets surface.
Previous photos of this region
made as late as last MAY, failed tc
show any trace of the new canal
The fact that it developed between
May and September, when it wa.
first observed, Professor Lowell re
garded as positive proof that it was
artificial, and therefore that Twins
beings exist upon the neighbo'
planet.

Advent College Matter

A little excitement during the
past few days Jared the winters
dullncsS, in the city. 1t arose over
the question of locating the state
school of the Seventh Day Adven-
lists at Miller. The Commercial
Club took up the Advcnt's PROPOSE
ton for $50 acres of land just north
cast Of the city, and club committees
secured about enough pledges for
the money to buy this land. Then
two or three parties who we're dis
satisfied started a remonstrance and
secured the signatures of several
persons who had signed the first
subscription paper. The matter
will be taken up at the Clubs next
regular meeting, Tuesday night.
The public may be interested in the
proposition made to the city.
The Advent committee, composed
of five men, came TO Miller twice to
consult about this matter. Their
offer. briefly, was to build a state
school Of brick, stone or cement,
and boys and girls dormitories to
cost not less than $25, 600 and from
that to $35. 900. They would also
build ten to a dozen dwellings, tor
the faculty. managers, etc, and an
industrial building for a small can
ming factory. broom factory. etc.
They would cultivate a considerable
portion of the ground, teaching
agriculture and carpentering, as
well as the regular school studies.
For the present their school would

added to as time required,
Their present school is located at
Elk Point, but it is not large enough,
and before rebuilding they want to
select a more central location. The
committee stated that they would
Immediately expend in the neigh.

Rambler Breaks Sales Record

The worlds record for rapid sales
of automobiles to individual buyers

Chicago show, when Thos. b. JEFF

sold one hundred and seventy-fve
separate cars IN sever days, making
a total of three hundred and fifty
thousand dollars worth Of automo-

Chas. T. Jclrery, head of the

this enormous sales record was
made, SAYS the greatest sales of cars
during the next five years will be
mabe over that arc stretching be
tween. e copper coIntry aud the
southern run of the Texas Pan
handle.
Hundreds Of farmers. stockmer
and fruit growers bought cars a
this show, The demand was not fol
the low priced cars, as manv haC
anticipated, but the buyers seemed
to desire power, comfort and qualit,
more than cheapness. The average
price of the cars attaining the larg
est sales was two thousand dollars
Last year the Rambler broke al
previous show sales when 100 OF
these cars were sold at an averag,

Who Got The Watch?

The KimbalI Graphic came out
last week with a railroad yarn that
had the average fish story backed up
a tree and bowling for mercy. 1t
seems that the train service running
into Platte has been about three
weeks behind time this winter, and
the desperate citizens Of that town
finally got together and bought a
gold watch to donate to the first
passenger engineer who brought his
train in on time. So one day re-
Gently they were greeted with the
startling news that the evening
passenger was reported on time,
and the whole town turned out to
welcome it. When the suspicious
moment arrived, the engineer was
hustled out of his cab and given a
seat of honor, while the town orator
awoke the echos with his impressive
and awe-inspiring speech. When
the applause had subsidized, and the
poor engineer given a chance to.

it was decided to hold another meet
ing to decide on a state ticket. The
ArguS-Leader has the following to
say of W. 7. Raffety, of this city:
Among men talked of for the
nomination for governor, w. I.
Raffety, of Miller, seems to have the
lead. Mr. Raffetv is a prominent
business man of Miller, and an ag-
gressive prohibitionist who has sac
rificed both time and none, for the
cauSe that he espouses. He has led
the prohibitionists of Hand county
in several aggressive campaigns and
if nominated for gopernea' IL is be-
lieved he will put up a great fight.

everything north and south To the
border line, 1t makes no difference
whether the booster has made his
money, is making it or hopes to
make it. Every one of them is a
rip-snortlng optimist, a booster who
boosts eternally.
Drop off any of the railroads at
at almost any place and you will find
the citizens of the town or city or
village at hand to meet you, to take
you around, to explain the wonder
full growth and the still more won
derful prospects: and if YOU decide
to go on to the next place they will
tell YOU about that, almost as glow
ingly. 1t is a place worthy Of notice
that has not plated additions reach

Ifyou take a ride in a street car,
or a drive i'm the country. or a ride
into the mountains, every man you
meet boosts for what you see or
what you will see. You can't get
away from them. They are at your
side at the theater and at your table
in the dining-rooms. Wherever you
are, you are all right. They hand

the hope of getting you to invest, of

Not in this particular spot. Cold
elsewhere, perhaps, but here is the
finest climate in the world. OF
course, the thermometer gets down
a bit in the winter and coal is pretty
expensive, but it is that dry, still
cold that you do not feel. Air is SO
dry, you know, it a be thirty be-
low and no colder thru it is in the
States at zero. Still we all wear
furs and heavy underwear and wrap
up pretty well, but there is a life
and a vigor in the air you cannot

How about the water??"
"Oh, finest water in the world
right here at this spot. Of course,
there are places where water is
pretty carce and places where it is
too plenty, but here is the finest
water in the worle! Can't be beat.
And out in the farming district they
can always drill artesian well, you
know, if there doesn't happen to be

And so it goes: schools, trade, fruit
wheat, everything the finest in the
world. The Canadian booster does
not stop with among the finest

compare. From one end Of the
country to the other it is a wild hur-
rah for Canada. After sitting calm

the United States develop as it has,
the Canadians have suddenly walked
up and discovered what they have

for past conservatism by enthus-
