eALLlNGER GRANTS ROAD
RIGHT OF WAY TO TOWN

Belle Fourche, S. D., April Gloon
trary to expectations. Newell, the new
government town east Of here, will get
a railroad. In a decision just received,
Secretary Ballinger grants a right of
way n a station site at Newell to
the Belle Fourche Valley railroad,
which will go through the town.
Some months ago the railroad ran
its survey through the townsite and
then applied for a right OF way. Com
missioner bennett. of the general land
office, refused the request on the
ground that there was no authority
for such a grant. The company ap-
pealed from his decision to the secre-
tary.
That there was little hope of secur-
Ing favorable action was shown by the
fact that some weeks ago the engi-
neers OF the railroad ran a second
survey, this time some miles south OF
the town of Newell.

HOTEL Will OFFER
PRIZE FOR PICTURE
Mural Painting Typical of CALI
fornia May Win S25,O0O in
Competition

For mural painting, typical of Cali
fornia, to take the place of the scene
In the Sierra by William Keith. which
was destroyed at the time of the dis
aster of 1906, the ST. Francis hotel will
offer prize of $4,000, the competition
to rest between five or six of the most
prominent California artists appointed
by the committee.
To this end Sir Casper Purdon Clark
of New York and that unique little
clique of New York artists, Familiarity
known as ''the eight have been in
vited to pass Judgment on the paint
ings submitted and to decide which
will be most worthy of the prize.
This plan will preclude ali possi-
bility of favoritism being shown, but
until an answer of acceptance is re-
ceived from New York definite steps
in the matter will not be taken by the
hotel.
The commission for the replacing OF
Keith's painting was given last year
to Charles Rollos Peters. He consented
at the time, agreeing to paint a Monte
reyf fnocturne in the high night key that
is his speciality. After submitting his
sketches he changed his mind, so that
the wall space has since been vacant.
Some of the committee were in favor
of placing the order in the hands of
Arthur Matthews. the local artist, who
has dealt principally in mural work.
The majority, however. are in favor of
the competition, and if the present pro-
gram is not changed the matter will be
put in motion as soon as favorable
answer is received from New York
