tits with genuine pleasure and
enthusiasm that the recent an
nouncement of Chas. J. Dous-
man as candidate for secretary
of state for South Dakota on the
republican ticket has been receiv-
ed, throughout the western part
of South Dakota, and especially
here at Lennon. Mr.. Dousman,
ever since he came to these parts
has been a pronounced leader
among the young men, and none
stands higher in their confidence.
Moreover. his candidacy has the
support and endorsement of the
party's leading men throughout
the state, and there is every in
dication that the ranks of the
stalwarts have gained in strength
because of his candidacy. Mr..
Douslnan is a fine representa-
tive of the young republicans of
the state, and the recognition of
the young republicans in his per-
son and endorsement is heartily
appreciated.

the wishes Of the majority of
those living north of the river.
People who are located south of
the Cedar have but a passing in
terest in the location of the
bridges. But the people living
north. needing the bridges should
have everything to say as to
where the bridges should be
placed, to facilitate their inter-
course with the marked places,
all of which are south of the
river. But there is no reason
why different sentiments should
get into heated alteration over
the matter, for the subject can
be settled amicably. This sec
ton OF Adams county is inter-
ested principally in the location
OF q bridge connecting Lennon
with the country north. T h e.
oretically this bridge should be
located due north of town. But
just how far this theory must be
moderated, to conform to the de-
mands made by the contour of
the country, the natural trend of
travel and the relatively greater
or lesser settlement one side of
another, this is a point which
can be arrived st only by joint
conference, neighborly consider
ateness and careful study. The
county commissioners will surely
endeavor to study the problems.
but they should be aided on the
part of the interested citizens by
ripened and unselfish counsel.
Neighborhood conferences anent.
this subject be of value in set
Ting this vexing matter, and we
would urge the holding of such.
This much is sure: No bridge is
going to be placed at any one
point because one or two men
want it there: 1t is going to be
located only after careful study
has shown the proper point
where it should be.

The County Commissioners at
their last meeting, held the 17th,
had a hard proposition to face,
IN having to listen 10 the de-
mands of irate citizens f o r
bridges, All hope to build less
expensive structures has of
course to be abandoned, in face
of the experience taught the
county by the high water this
spring. Fhe burning question
with all people living north of
the Cedar is the matter of loca-
ton, and how to harmonize the
different sentiments now almost
ready to cause bad blood in var
ious communities lis the delicate
question. This much is safe to
say. that the location should be
etermined strictly according to

The general election taken in
town, subject to the action of
the commercial club, to deter
mine the popular animus regard
ing the building of the proposed
reservoir north of town, which
was held on Tuesday. resulted
in a sweeping victory for the
plan. The election was not
strictly speaking, official, bu t
merely a popular measure of de-
termining how the tax payers
of the city felt regarding the
plan. Of the LAG votes cast
there were 121 votes for the
building Of a reservoir, while
only 25 votes were registered
against the plan. Considering
the premises, the vote brought
out was a good one, and the city
dads now need have no compunc
ton regarding the wishes of the
big majority, as they proceed to
secure for the city that much
needed item, water.

A phenomenally large number
of engines of all kinds is being
sold into the country at this time.
Local dealers have sold goodly
numbers both of the steamers as
we'll as the gasolene engines.
The Bissels a few days ago re-
eeived a new Avery steamer
which will surely do it's share in
ripping up the sod. 1t is about
the largest engine ever unloaded
here, and created almost a sem
sation on being run through
town. Mott parties also receiv-
ed here yesterday new kind of
gasolene engine which shows up
very powerful, and will likely
pull the ten plows claimed as its
capacity. The introduction of
all these machines will immensely
advance the development, be-
sides saving the poor horse un-
told effort and agony.

them being not less than four

Today is the date set by the
land department of the North
ern Pacific railway for the sale
of it's holdings in North Dakota
These lands had some time ago
been withdrawn from sale, with
a view to letting the country de-
velop better, and at the same
get reappraisement. Only
about a week ago the prices of
these lands were made known,
AS a result town was full of en-
terprising neighbors to such
lands, all of them anxious to
ascertain the prices and to buy
if possible. Noticeable partic-
ularly among them were many
Russian Germans, those sturdy
conquerors of waste places, and
many of them made application
through local agencies for a
patch of the coveted land. There
is no doubt but what the railroad
company will nave chance to
dispose of nearly all its land in
Hettinger, Adams and Morton
counties this season.

This morning a freight train
had to stop here to allow some
immigrants bound for Bowman,
to take off dead horse. 1t is a
serious mistake to ship anything
but the best stock here. The
pioneer work is so exacting that
even horses in prime condition
often founder and the chances
for off grade stock to withstand
the strain are indeed poor.
