DEVELOP SOUTHWEST FARMS
w. B. Mack Has Plan for Organization
of $1o,ooo,ooo Company With
That Object

Formation of stock company with
capital of at least $40 100000 having
for its purpose the development of the
southwest and the encouragement of
migration, was the plan proposed by
w. b. Mack, manager of the S. +.
Slade Lumber company, Aberdeen. to
members of the Southwestern Wash
inston Development association.
Mack's plan in brief is to ask the
owners of the 10000 or more acres OF
logged-off lands to enter their hold
ings in a pool and reap the benefits
from the sale of the land after TAX
ing stock in the company. AS an in
ducement to the settler it is proposed
that possibly one-fourth of the land
be cleared by the company. Payments
could be arranged which would not
prove either burdensome to the home
seeker or hardship to him and give
him an opportunity to make his farm
self supporting.
The plan met instant recognition
from the members of the association
and it is probable that some early
move will be made looking to the for
nation of the company and the de-
yelOpment of the enterprise.

MAKES PLEA FOR UNIT
Royal w. Raymond, Seattle Booster,
Tells Aberdeen How to
Progress

Before a representative gathering
of Aberdeen citizens at the council
chamber in the city hall last Thurs
night, Royal w. Raymond manager of
the industrial bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce delivered an
interesting and instructive address
which was attentively listened to. Mr..
Raymond was introduced by Presi-
dent l.. G. Humbarger, of the Aber-
deem Chamber of Commerce, under
whose auspices the meeting was held.
During the course of his address
Mr.. Raymond took occasion to show
the need of live, progressive COM
mercial body such as aberdeen ap-
peared to possess He compared
such a body with the sales manager
of a great corporation and declared
that it should be the ultimate aim of
the commercial organization to spread
the advantages of the city broadcast
in order to attract capital and inhabi-
tants from the older communities.
Petty jealousies should be abrogated
and people should remepber that the
upbuilding of any community is, in
a measure, beneficial to all other COM
munities. The speaker urged the ad-
vantages to be derived from judicious
newspaper advertising-in fact he
designated this method as the most
productive of good results. In ad-
dition also, he advocated the use of
lantern slides and of moving pictures
and all other like methods. ITO sell
goods you must show them," said he,
"and il you have anything worthy of
notice they should should be display
ed for the benefit of people in other
communities" He said that Seattle
was willing to help in the upbuild-
ing of the Grays Harbor country be
cause the people believed that the
progress of this or any other COM
munity in the state, was an indirect
benefit to Seattle.

of Terrace Hill Improvement.

Behind closed doors in the city hall
Saturday night, the councilmanic com
mittee appointed by Mayor Benn to
investigate" the management of the
office of City Engineer Charles W.
Ewart, met and deliberated. There
appears to be considerable secrecy
connected with the investigation
and absolutely no intimation of what
was done could be learned, the mem

yet through with it's work" 1t was
decided, however, to hold a mass
meeting at the city hall on Tuesday
evening, when property owners who
are dissatisfied may meet and express
their views, for and against the pro.
posed street improvements.
Ewart Makes Defense
City Engineer Ewart returned Sat
urday from his vacation and at once
gave out an interview in which he de-
clared that the improvements on Ter
race Heights over which the hub-bub
lad arose, were being carried out eX-
actly according to plans approved be-
forehand He stated that property
owners in this district had been Civ
en- greater opportunity to investigate
and inform themselves of the propos-
ed Improvement than had those in any
other section of the city. The Office
of the city engineer had been very
careful in explaining matters and in
proof of this assertion, Mr.. Ewart
pointed to the public meetings that
had been held at which property own
ers were present and all had had an
opportunity to investigate the matter
fully and to inform themselves of the
exact nature of the proposed plan.
Some object to the great fill in
front of their property while Others
find fault with the deep cuts, said Mr.
Ewart. but both must remember that
the district is a very uneven one
filled Win sullies and hills and il the
people want the territory improved
and permanent streets made, they
must expect such things.
Both cuts and fills look much larg
er and much worse while the work is
being done than they do afterwards
These same big cuts and fills have

~SCORELESS TIE.

The State college and Dakota Yes
leyan of Mitchell played to a tie, 0 to
O., in a desperately contested game
at the college field Tuesday afternoon.
Brookings waa o~utweighed, as usual,
the Mitchell line being especially
heavy and on the field slippery with
snow the light Brookings team had
hard work to hold them. While Mitch
ell probably carried the ball farther
than the home team, Brookings gain
ed consistently at times and in the
last quarter they had the ball on
Mitchell's 10-yard line. The alme
was marred considerably by wrang-
ling, mostly on the part of the visit
ors, but Wood of Sioux Falls, the ref
cree, had the game well in hand and
give each team a square deal.
The BrOokings team, especially the
backfield men, were in poor shape and
when this is taken int consideration
Brookings was fortunate to secure a
tie. Lockhart, although not in fit
condition to play, put a great game
and gained most of the ground for
the team. Pence did we'll in carry.
ing the ball and the Brookings line
from end to end, played great foot
ball. For the visitors Nolt was the star
and had he not been in the way on
three of four different occasions
Brookings would have scored.
The play in the first half was even,
although Mitchell had the advantage
toward the end of the period, when
they had the ball dangerously near
the Brookings goal.
In the last quarter ~Brookings made
their best showing, carrying the ball
down the field to the Mitchell 10
yard line, where it was lost on downs.
Mitchell then took a turn at carrying
the ball, taking it to the B~rookings
0yard line, where an attempted
drop-kick was blocked by Brookings.
Mitchell recovered and had the ball
back to the 1O-yard line when the
game vas called.

I'VE continue to be at peace with the rest Of the world. In
all essential matters our relations with other peoples are harno-

County option was defeated two
years ago by 2,S10, says a Sioux Falls
dispatch. This year it is defeated by
just $4,000. Practically complete re-
turns from 43 counties show. that cOun-
ty option carried in only five, with
total majorities of 5S5, while it lost in
SO counties with total majorities of
1901, with the counties of Campbell,
Walworth, Dougles, Custer, Fall River,
Perkins Harding, Butte and Jerauld
to hear from. If these counties go
as the others have gone the total ad-
verse majority will not be less than
$4,000. 1t seems likely that the mo
majority in Minnehaha county alone
will overcome the total Eyes" major
ity of all the counties in the state
which voted yes"
