Jones Pays the Bill

This is the next question that
our farmers will ask. and they are
right in SO asking 1t. who pays the
bill? Will there. in other words.
be money enough. to support a new
county? OF course it is the farmer.
Jones who always pays the bill,
and We're it not for him we should
60 bankrupt no matter what coun-
ty we lived in. But we would have
more than ample to support this
new county.
The assessed valuation Of Daw-
son county. within the limits of
the newly proposed county on real
estate and personal property a.
mounts according to official hgur-
IS, to about ST, ,22S, 63S. And in
Custer county within the newly
proposed territory, on real estate
and personal property it amounts
to $693, I'll. Making a total in all
Of about two million dollars. Just
think Of it. Two million dollars.
The cost OF running a new coEnty
as far as its officers are concerned
is but trifIe in comparison to the
revenue available. Under the law
this new county would be in the
Sth class and the cost Of running
such a county will be readily seen
from the list Of salaries prescribed
by law.
Treasurer $500
County Clerk 1900
Sheriff 1900
County Att y. 1900
Assessor 1000
Sup. Schools 500
And in qualification of this we
might add that the salary Of the
county attorney is partly paid out
of the state treasury. So that the
cost as far as the officers are CON
cerned would amount in the aggre-
gate to a grand total Of SIS, 300 Be

lie already alluded to, we have yet

When these lands are add

about one thira of its area, It will
ado materially to its wealth and
it's source of revenue.
What is possible to us in the
future must be taken into consid-
Grafton. There are more home

Is There Demand for Division !

There is always the question
'.Why?' to be reckoned with.
And everyone has a right to ask
such a question, and if it can
not be reasonably answered., ! then
the movement ought to die a nat
ural death. But we are sure, that
the constituents will only need
the facts placed before them, to be
convinced of the justice of the
claim. We know that everything
must have reasonable basis to
proceede upon and in this content
ion, we have adequate reason on
our side. In the first place the
territory is contiguous and access
able to the city of Wibaux, and
the topography of the outlying
country, more than the geograph-
ical outline, suggests one of tie
most natural divisions. It will be
insinuated, that these are stock
arguments that are grey headed,
and have been urged by many
claimants all over the United Stat
es in favor of division, some when,
and some where. But. when the
conditions are the same, demand
ing action in this direction, it is
obvious, that the arguments must
be the same in support of the con-
tention. So with no apology what
ever, for our further argument,
we must insist that for practical
administration of county affairs,
division is necessary. The remote
ness of the citizens in a large area
of this territory causing them to
travel nearly 200 miles 10 get to
the county seat for legal purposes;
the endurance of many wrong by
citizens, rather than 60 to the ex-

Breach of Trust"

Columbia, Oct. 2O.-Robert f.
Brice. manager of the Co.
lumbia Grain and Provision COM
pany and of the National Packing
company was arrested yesterday on
a charge of breach Of trust with
fraudulent intent" The warrant was
sworn out by Bunyan r. Cooner.
proprietor of the Columbia Grain
and Provision company and Colum-
bia agent of the National Packing
company. The amount mentioned in
the warrant is approximately $10,-
o00." Mr.. Brice was not taken in
custody, but bond was furnished in
the sum of s2.5OO by Alexander E.
King and III. G.. Werts.
The warrant was sworn out before
James III. Fowles. Jr., magistrate,
and Constable Thackam was dele
gated to serve 1t. The constable
found Mr.. Brice confined to his bed,
and after reporting this fact, Mr..
Fowles and a physician visited the
Brice home. Here bond was furn-
ished by Messrs. King and Werts.
Mr.. Brice. 1t is said has been in i'll
health for several months, but has
been able to attend to his duties.
Mr.. Cooner when seen last night
refused to discuss the matter. He

Grain and Provision company shows
a considerable shortage. An exami-
nation Is now being made of the
books of the National Packing COM
pany.
In speaking of the case Mr.. Cooner
said that he was at first loath to be-
lieve that Mr.. Brlce had INDUCED in

trate and swore out the warrant.
Friends Of Mr.. Brice avowed a be-
lief In innocence. His counsel and

Reading pays in dollars and cents,
and this is not a low plane upon
which to make an appeal for more

South. We need nothing at this

build good roads and schools, and

Some Random Thoughts.

"A Farmer Boys Problems"
Spending Money so as to Get Prof
liable Returns for it," Right now
when so many boys will have more
money than ever before in their
lives-money from' the prize acre
corn crops that will show such big
returns for the investment in labor,
land and fertilizers that it will seem
almost like fairy tale or a specula-
tive venture-right now the article
below will help every boy who reads
it. If we look around us at the sue
cessful men of business, most OF
them started out poor boys, and the
secret of their successes is not that
they worked So much harder than
other men or made so much more
money, but they began early to save
some of their earnings and to invest
them. Some invested merely by de-
posting in a savings bank until
goodly sum had been accumulated
for business venture that was sue
cessful because the young man had
been studying conditions and knew
where to invest. Some in one thing
and some in another, but all in some
thing that was productive.
Possibly the greatest good to the
country that will come of the boys
corn contest, and certainly to the
boys themselves will be the invest
ment of this money in education, or
improved implements, or improved
stock. or improved methods-all of
which are educational. He need not
necessarily put it in a college course
to put into an education. for all
training and culture are educational.
But in many instances a high school
urse, a business course, a year or
two at an agricultural or technical
school or full college course,
would be the wisest eXpediture of
this money.
1t is worth thinking abut, boys.

From The Daily Item, Oct. IS.
When the court of general ses-

This Is the case against the Elks
Club, OF which Mr.. Calk, the de-
fendant, Is chairman of the house
committee. The State put up but
two witnesses. the express delivery
clerk and Chief of Police Bradford.
BY the express clerk the delivery of
two packages to Mr.. Calk was estab-
lished, but the contents of the pack
ages were not proven. Chief Of Police
Bradford. who searched the club
rooms under a warrant issued at the
order OF the grand jury at the June
term of court, testified that he found
liquor in lockers and beer in the re-
frigerator all of which was the prop
erty of individual members Of the
club. He saw no evidence Of unlaw~
ful storage Of liquor and made no
seizure. Here the State rested and
the court took q recess until 8 o'clock.
