DAKOTA DIVORCE
NOT LEGAL TENDER
Do Not Pass at Par in Courts
Of the District of
Columbia

Washington. Oct. 29.-Divorce de-
crees granted in South Dakota are
not legal tender" in the District of
Columbia, according to a decision to-
day by Justice STAFFORD in the district
supreme court. The particular de-
cree Of divorce which the justice de-
clared invalid in the national capitol,
was obtained BY Milton e. Davis, who
In April 1907, went to South Dakota,
in December got his divorce and three
weeks later was married again. The
former Mrs. Davis-if she really is
no longer q. legal wffe-brought suit
for absolute divorce, and alimony.
The answer made to the petition was
that Davis had already secured q d.

tice Stafford says in his opinion,
that divorces of this character
should be held sood?"
He held that inasmuch as. Davis
had deserted his wife and left this
Jurisdiction, It. follows that the court
of South Dakota has no Jurisdiction
over her and mo- right to bind her by
its Decree" Wherefore he ordered
Davis to pay alimony and to make

out interest there is no object in
meeting the same in advance and
most of the farmers therefore are de.
voting their revenues to improving
their homes and In purchasing live
stock and implements. One Of the
most interesting features Of the up
building Of these new communities is
the large number of settlers who have
come from the cities and towns.
Their success is all the more notable
because they had little or no previous
experience in farming, especially
farming by irrigation. Under these
circumstances the call Of the open
country is, likely to appeal to others
who have grown tired Of the stress
and fume Of city life and the never
ending struggle to make income and
outgo balance.

Rousing Speech at Glendale

johnson

Bllendale. N. D., Oct. 2s-Hon. H.
T. Helgesen; Republican candidate
for congress, spoke to a fair sized
audience at this place last night. not
withstanding the bad weather condi-
tions. In the two hours that he ar
raigned the Democratic party ON its
principles and lack Of constructive
ability, he was frequently interrupts
ed by applause. proving that his sound
arguments and candid presentation
were endorsed by his hearers.
Mr.. Helgesen gave especial atten-
tion to the candidacy of G. A. John
son and conclusively showed that his
election was the only surety of Re-
publican success in the state and
pointed out the danger of electing a
Democratic governor to upset all that
q Republican legislature pledged to
abide by the will 0f the people in
the election OF United States soma
tors could do. i;.sli: i:s'al'7
The speech was the opening gun
in the Republican campaign here and
he not only made many votes for the
Republican ticket, but set many Re-
publtcans to work who have been in
different and their work between this
and election day will add many. votes
to the G. Az johnson column.

Rebuttal Testimony Now Being
Offered by the Roads
Involved
SOME FLAWS PICKED N
GOV. STUBS TESTIMONY
Difference in Interstate and .Intr..
State Traffic Was Offered by the
Statistician of the Santa Fe Road-
Stubs on the Farmer. +,

Chicago, Oct. 29.-It was with the
expectation of finishing by night that
the rate hearing by the interstate
commerce commission was resumed
today. The shippers finished the pre-.
ssntation of their direct testimony
yesterday. James Peabody, statistic.
ian of the Sante Fe road, was the first
witness put on the stand in rebuMal
by the railroads. Attorney T. ]. Nor
ton, representing the roads which are
seeking to advance rates, reviewed
briefly the testimony given by Cover.
nor Stubbs of Kansas yesterday. He
touched on the points of the cover
nor's testimony which, he said, miefak
have been overlooked. He scored sew
eral state railway commissions for
making rates which conficted with
those of the interstate commerce com.
mission. This, he declared, was an
absurdity and retarded the interstate
commerce to an extent. In support OF
this Mr.. Peabody introduced figures
comparing the profits Of the Santa N
on interstate and intra state traffic.
In explaining why the farmers OF
Kansas were prosperous in his testi.
mony yesterday, Governor Stubbs
said:
iii tell you why there are a lot AZ
automobiles in Kansas. 1t is because
we've got a prosperous, industrious
people, fertile fields and have the stuR
to buy them in spite of the high rail-
road rates."
During a lull in the cross-examtna.
tion Governor Stubbs leaned forward
and said to the railroad attorney ex.
andning him:
You've asked me a lot of questions.
Now let me ask you one. What was
the basis Of the Santa Fe issue Il
S102,000,000 of stock In 1896, when tho
roads were consolidated? Was that
on the actual valuation of the road1'

tenn answered that the stock was ID.
sued and exchanged for the old stock
and bonds held by the stockholders Of
the road.
What l want to find out" Governor
Stubbs said, continuing in the role Of
questioner, "is what the road actual-
ly was worth them"
Mr.. Bailey replied that the actual
cost of the road was a matter impos-
sible to determine. as the books Of the
continent roads of the Santa Fe sys-
tenn did not go back of 1887, and the
original cost of many of the proper
ties could not be ascertainef.
Comparing the estimate of S25,000
a mile given by Governor Stubbs with
what the Santa Fe had expended in
building what is known as the Belia
cutoff, in New Mexico from Texico to
the vicinity of Albuquerque. Attorney
Norton gave the figures of the cutoff
at $41,084 mile
Governor Stubbs insisted that tho
grading obstacles encountered in the
New Mexico line were far greater
than could be found in Kansas.
The grading in the New Mexico line
was placed at S11.25O, while Governor
Stubbs' estimate allowed $4,000
mile for grading. Referring to the
11,250 per mine, New Mexico grad
ng figures Governor Stubbs ex-
claimed:

Thousands Tn Of Homes and

Places

. sG2ss..saaGt ten, Oct. ga Quarter of q
century ago any mention Of the great
American desert called up visions of
Q region OF limitless extent, sun-bak-
cd, parched and desolate. A country
associated. always with tales Of suf-
tering and death, OF unfriendly saw
ages, and deadly reptiles, for years it
was passed over by congress as
worthless. The marvellous transfor-
nation which, has been wrought in
two decades in this land of silence
and sunshine furnishes one of the
most interesting and inspiring pages
In the annals of our republics devel-
opment. The great American desert
Is vanishing from the map Its boun-
daries have shrunken and it no long
or presents a formidable barrier to
the growth and progress of the far
west. Twelve million acres of this
rainless country have been subdued
by means of agriculture and irrigation
and are producing bountiful and as
sured harvests every year. A quarter
Of million families are residing on
farms and as many more have found
homes and occupations in the cities,
towns and villages which have. sprung
up in the midst of the agricultural
areas Great dams have been con-
atrGcted to imp0und the floods and
through 10000 miles Of canals and
bitches the life-giving water has been
turned upon the dusty desert. The
streams have been harnessed for
power and an era OF manufacturing
ie dawning in which all Of thes raw
products Of the farm, the forests and
the mines will be prepared for the
markets Of the world. The comforts
and luxnries heretofore unknown in
agricultural regions already are OBJ
tainable in many Of the western VAL
leys. The farmer lights and heats
lhs home with electricity ard his
heavy work is done cheaply by the
Same potent force. Trolley lines bring
the farm and town close together. In
majority Of tho irrigated districts
the farms are small-not more than
forty acres each. With sixteen to
sixty families to the square milo, iso-
iation is eliminated and life In the
country becomes more nearly urban
than rural. While pioneering In this
new country calls for a good deal Of
grit and not q little hard work the
compensation is sure and abundant.
Carving out home In the desert is |
no child's play. it Is q mans work,
but there are few places where ma
ture responds more quickly to intelli-
gent industry than the. irrigated |
country. On the government projects
the past year has been conspicu-
ously prosperous one. The success OF |
the average farmer in many. instances
has been remarkable. On several Of
