Stella looked up at the sky and
around at the snow-clothed park, with

KELLY K|BOSHES

Bfainy Editor Of the Marmarth Mail
Reads Lesson to Political NAL
contents Of Bowman County

From across in Bowman county
and parts of southern Billings
comes complaints, and other symp-
toms of dissatisfaction are mani
fest over the result of the prim-
ary election as regards the legis.
lative candidates in this district.
1t seems that some of the leading
politicians in those parts, after wax
ing up (too late), have arrived at
the conclusion that the south end of
the 39th legislative district wilt
be without representation. We
disagree with them in this, be-
lieving that this end Of the dis.
trict will be as we'll looked after
by the successful nominees as it
would be had the Bowman man
won out. The republicans of
Bowman county were given
chance to bring out candidates
for two place on the legislative
ticket and declined, saying that
Mr.. Lombard's nomination was
they asked. Further than his an
nounc sment, practically nothing
was done in support Of Mr.. Lom-
bard's candidacy. either by him
self or friends, excepting theetforts
of Messrs. Reeve and Robinson,
whose home precincts alone (Sad-
die Butte and Sentinel Butte gave
him majority over the lowest
candidate nearly double that re-
ceived in all Bowman county.
Mr.. Lombard seems to have
shirked his political duty, to his
party and self, by staying at
home. West of the river in Bow
man county none Of the settlers
saw him during the campaign,
and here in Marmarth, as far as
We can learn, he has never been
seen. Had his friends seen to it
that he made an even break with
the next lowest candidate in the
precinct in the vicinity of his
ranch he would have been nomin-
ated by a handsome majority. No
good partisan can justly refuse to
support the nominees after he
has looked up the vote at all pre-
cincts and considered all other
facts. A spirit of regard for
Bowman county's rights was OBJ
vious all through the campaign
on the parts of Messrs. Mcclellan
Reeve and Robinson, and we be-
lieve that same spirit will prevail
next winter when these gentle
men are called on to deliberate
upon matters of interest to that
county. y.-Marmarth Mail.

Capt, Near Regrets Leaving South
Dakota and Wishes that He Were
Out Of Banking Business Here

The Sioux Falls Is. Dak.) Press
in recent issue, says: Captain
c. A. Near, one of the oldest
pioneers and best known men in
South Dakota, was in Sioux Falls
yesterday looking up all his old
friends and telling them what a
good country South Dakota was
to live in.
Mr.. Near, who, for forty years
was resident of Turner county,
sold his farm last fall for $40, 900,
and with his son F. E. Near went
to Beach. N. D.. where they started
the Golden Valley State Bank of
Beach, and now. according to the
old captain, he wishes that he had
stayed in South Dakota, ssand raised
a few more Of those big crops be-
fore selling out, and then after
selling out the captain Gays, that
if he had it to do over again
he would have moved to Sioux
Falls, which he says would be
surely good enough for him, and
be a retired farmer instead Of
going up to North Dakota and
being a banker.
The crops in North Dakota, fac.
cording to Mr.. Near, do not com.
pare with those of South Dakota.
and he says when he went down tc
Turner county and saw what g
big crop that they were going t.
have this year it made him sc
mad that he went and tried
to buy the old farm back.

INCREASE over
100 PER CENT
Month Of July a Record Breaker in
Percentage Of Business Handled
at Local Depot Cooper Happy?

The month of July was hum
mer at the depot, the amount of
business being over 100 per cent
greater than in the corresponding
month in 1909. This is a mighty
satisfactory showing, and while
it means a corresponding increase
in work for the depot force, the
boys all point to it with pride,
denoting that they have the well
fare Of the great railway system
at heart.
The total line charges for July,
1909, were Sl9, ,5O4; for the month
just closed $45,035- an increase
of $25, 531.
The freight received exceeded
that of last July by 1853 tons, and
the amount received therefor was
greater by S12,234.
In the car lots received there
were Is more of lumber, q of
agricultural implements, q of coal,
9 Of oil, 8 of emigrants, 8 of
miscellaneous. OF building ma
terial there were 5 cars less.
The ticket sales exceeded those
of July last year by S2,563, and
in number by SIG.
Of commercial messages there
were 305 more sent this July than
last; 23l more received.
In freight forwarded by carload
there were 81 Of grain, as against
Z last year.
The whole makes a showing of
which every person in Beach ought
to be justly proud, and we don
believe this record is equaled by
any other town on the division.
Certain it is that where existed
a barren spot few years ago the
Northern Pacific is deriving q
fine fat income nowadays. We be.
lieve the volume Of business tran
sacted here would almost warrant
the erection Of depot.
