JAMES RIVER DIVISION
PART OF HASTINGS DAKOTA

Aberdeen, s. D., July 5.-Superin-
tendent j. 7. Gillick, of the James Riv-
err division of the Milwaukee railroad,
upon his return to Aberdeen from a
trip to Chicago, brought the announce
ment of the abandonment of the James
River division and it's consolidation
with the Hastings & Dakota division,
of which enlarged division Mr.. Gillick
will be superintendent, retaining his
headquarters at Aberdeen The CON
solidatton gives him the greatest mile
age of any division superintendent on
the Milwaukee road the total mileage
being 981 miles. The second largest
division is the Chicago & Council
Bluffs, with GA miles. The establish
ment of headquarters of the enlarged
NAvision at Aberdeen is regarded as a
decided addition to this city's impor-
lance as a rail center. A number of
the clerks employed in the Minneapolis
offices of the old Hastings & Dakota
division will be removed to Aberdeen,
and the offices of the superintendent
here have been enlarged to make room
for them until the new station, believed
to be an immediate probability, is
erected here.

PIERRE CELEBRATES
CHANGE FROM WET"
TO DRY" POLICY
Legislature Will Make Capital
City the Bone of Conten-
ton in Contest.

Pierre, S. D., July 4.-Entering the
list Of dry cities last night at II
o'clock, Pierre for the first time in its
history is on a strictly water schedole>
and has succeeded in raising the ques
ton: What will be done when the
legislature meetS?''
For a single year Pierre operated
under the prohibitory law, but no one
could tell the difference between that
administration and the open saloon.
But that was in the period when the
state capital was rated as a frontier
town, subject to invasion at any min
ute by the festive cowboy and the out
filter who bought all his supplies at
wholesale and was in the habit of TAX
ing his drink wherever he pleased.
What a cowboy demanded at the point
of a gun he usually got, and as it was
known that he would demand whisky,
he got it, not on the "a t" but over the
bar, and where he got his the legislator
and the thirsty statesman, as well as
the rOisterer who came to the state
capital for a good TIM, also slaked
their thirst and dropped their money.
The cowboy is no longer factor in
city government, the "Outfltter" has a
railroad almost at his door and there
is no longer a disposition to cater to
this class of trade, but hotel bust
ness" during the sessions of the legis-'
lature is another question and there Is
argument pro and con as to what the
policy will be at such times. The state
anti-saloon league which halls Pierre's
advent to the dry column of towns as
a great victory, will see to it that there
is no illegal selling, since with Pierre
as a base Of operations, the campaign
will be extended over the state. On
the other hand the retail liquor dealers
are expected to point to Pierre as an
example where no-license does not
prohibit"
There is no city in the state where
the fact of "nO-license" victory would
receive the attention that prevails here,
and the end of the business which was
celebrated last night by the adherents
of the wide open policy was as demon
stratiVe as could be desired.

New York Officers Cspture One
Safecracker, but Another

New York, July S.--After a running
fight between safe crackers and police
in Harlem today in which so shots were
exchanged, the police ran one fugitive
up an elevator railroad stairway and
captured him. The second man ran
into a tenamCEt house and disappeared.
The burglars showed fight when

holes in a safe in which Di Angles for
the last month has kept from $4,000 to
$1,000 belonging to Italian societies.
AS they dashed out OF the place they
opened fire. Di Angles was not in

officers responded and the chase
through the streets with a running ex-
change of shots continued for several
blocks.
Policeman Aiberger finally corncred

Them Severely.

Boston, July 8.-That the boy who
wants to learn to dig a ditch, harness
a horse. use a pillow or milk a cow
would go in vain to the colleges of agri-
culture in the country, Dick J. Crosby,
of Washington, d. c., q specialist in
agricultural education, told the depart
ment of rural and agricultural educa-
ton of the National Educational assoc
citation convention today. There ara
800 more secondary schools and colleges
teaching agriculture than there were
IS months ago, he said, but they teach
theory only.
Professor G. F. Warren, of Cornell
university, quoted figures to show that
10 college bred farmers averaged $847
yearly income against an average OF
only 1913 for the farmers whose educa-
ton had been limited to the district
