So there was no reason for usiuJs
Vice President Shermans name In the
Gore bribery charges. But, II was used
and the smircn which IL gave to the
Vice President cannot be removed by
any statements issued at this late day.
Senator tore nas issued a statement
in which he acknowledges that there
has been no evidence brought out that
shows any excuse for the using Of the
name of either the Vice President or

FROM THE
RANGE GAZETTE

There is no denying the fact
that this weeks storm has been
a disastrous one for many of the
sheepmen. No reports Of any
great losses have yet reached
town, but in several instances it
is thought the additional snow
fall and cold weather will work
havoc with the woolly bands.
j. S. Kerr gathered in the
glory of being the first man to
deliver wheat to the new Camp
Crook flour mill. He brought in
a few sacks last Friday, and
when Miller Jessup came to test
the grain he was surprised to find
that his grade tester wasn't
quite equal to the stunt of test
ing Little Missouri wheat. It's
limit is sixty-five pounds to the
bushel, and the first wheat in
the Camp Crook mill went a
little over that figure.
Last Mondays storm, if not
properly a blizzard, will for all
the use we have of them answer
the purpose very well. People
who were compelled to be out
suffered more than at any pre-
vious time this winter. Dick
Oliver, the Ekalaka stage driver
managed to get through, after
having his rig blown over and
one of his horses injured. The
Belle Fourche drivers gave up
the attempt to get through Mon
day and today (Thursday) we are
still one day behind.

THOUSANDS TO COME
Eastern Homeseekers Will Soon Commence To
Flock Into This Section of The New
Country For Homesteads.

The immigration into Custer
county this J ear from the east
ern states promises to surpass
that of any other year since the
organization of the county.
From eastern papers and other
reliable resources we learn that
the movement has already COM
menced and ere long, times will
be lively in old puptown. Eka-
laka is spoken Of by eastern
homeseekers as much, if not
more, than any other town in
Montana, on occount of it's To-
cation in the land of the 32O acre
homestead law, and also Of it's
peculiar name. Ekalaka is pro-
nounced by nine out of ten new
comers with long AS instead of
broad ones as they should be.
Many are the opinions of it's
character as a town. Some
think it is an indian village
while others refer to a frontier
town with nothing but cow
pun :hers and saloons. A visit
to the town soon changes ones
mind and like it has to many
others, takes their eye" and
the result is they 'bed down" to
stay.
Eastern people and those in
the west are beginning to realize
the fact that IN a few years the
public domain will all be settled
on and the free homestead, a
thing of the past. It was only a
few years ago, that our sister
state, South Dakota was in the
wild and woody west" and re-
garded as good only to range
cattle, raise cactus and play
poker in. Look at it today. A
little advertising and boosting
was all it needed for start and
the country done the rest. And
it's the same here in this state.
We started boosting and adver-
tisirg last year and before many
days we will note the result.
Ekalaka is located in the heart
of this new country and it's
future looks brighter each day.
The land, is the kind of land that
homoseekers are looking for and
want ard as soon as they are
aware of this fact they will
come. AS the country grows the
town grows SO start the country.
Don't send eastern friends any
false statements concerning this
country. The truth is what
counts and brings the results.

BAKER ROUTE WANTED
Ekalaka People Are Still After That Mail Line
Between Here and The Thriving
Railroad Town.

The Baker mail line PROPOSE
ton hasn't left the minds of the
people of this; country yet, and is
not apt to until some definite
steps are taken in the matter.
We havs tried to get this route
established twice already and the
most interested ones feel now
that the third time will be a
charm.
The contract for the Camp
Crook route has been let to w.
J. Quinlan Of that place for
81, ,425 a year and it is reported
that the Ismay line was let to
"Shorty" Taylor again. The
Ewalt line bid was rejected as
being too high and new bids
called for. Several sent in other
bids and no doubt the contract
VIII NC ICC OOOIl.
It will be remembered by
many, that last spring bid of
$500 was rejected by the gov
erment on a thrice-a-week line
from Baker. The reason for the
rejection was said to be that the
price was too high. Now comes
the allowance of $1425 a year for
a thrice-a-week line that does
not carry one fifth as much mail
as the Baker line would and has
a easier road to travel. This
kind of business looks like
there's a 'nigger in the fence
somewhere and We'll gamble
that the fence is not located out
side of the town limits of that
infant village Of Ismay either.
Of course Ismay wanted the
line and got it, but does that stop
our people from still going after
the Baker line? 1t is not a pro-
position that ought to be put off
until tomorrow but wants to
be done today. Well admit
however, that Ismay has a good
set of boosters for themselves
but we must say their not for
anybody else. What Ekalaka
wants is better and quicker mail
service and lsmay as we'll as
every other town that wants to
see others succeed, should help,
and the way to help is stop this
knocking and work in unity with
the people of Ekalaka. The
political pulp of lsmay ac-
complished their disired result
but it seems to us ''pull'' could
be had in this neck of the wood
too. To be turned down. and
handed a lemon" by the gov
crment is not over half bad but
when it comes to Ekalaka having
to step to the time Of such a
dubias little railroad town like
Ismay it's time to halt.
What we should now do is
get busy and the quicker the
better.
