BRAD. FREIGHT AGENT
T.. A. BRADLEY APPOINTED
FREIGHT AND PASSEN-
GER AGENT
LEWISTOWN HEADQUARTERS
Will Drum up Trade for the Mil
waukee in that Section
Lewistown, to Lombard
and Miles City

E. A. Bradley, of Helena, arrived in
the city to assume his duties as local
travelling freight and passenger agent
for the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railroad company. His head
quarters will be at Lewistown and his
territory will extend from this city to
Lombard and to Miles City. Mr.. Brad
ley's family will soon remove from the
capital city to Lewstown, where they
will make their permanent home.
Mr.. Bradley has been connected with
the Milwaukee road for number of
years and his being assigned to Lewis
town is recognition on the part of the
road that this city is one of the import
ant points on the system.
OF course this is only the beginning,
but as the new roads of the Milwaukee
are built out of Lewistown, the grow
ing Importance of this city as railroad
center will require other steps in the
same direction.
Local Agent Hohmann, in charge of
the Lewistown depot, is kept busy
enough at this pnint and thus cannot
attend to the growing outside business.
For that reason and because of the
growing Importance of Lewistown, Mr..
Bradley has been stationed here.
The outgoing shipments of wool will
soon begin, while the shipments of
wheat, stock and other products of the
boundless Judith Basin will add to the
freight tonnage that can be expected
from Lewistown and this section. -

Missed 1t Last Week

In our writeup of the Scandinavian
celebration last week we failed to men,
ton the concert in the evening which
was decidedly the browning event of
the occasion. The program was rem
.dered as published and nearly every
number received an enchore and each
enchore was promptly responded to.
The Greigs Chorus gave great satisfac-
ton and the local talent received many
fiattering and deserved compliments.
The concert is said, by local musical
critics, to have been one of the best
ever given in the city and some are so
kind as to intimate that the reporters
for the local papers were monkeys or
worse for having failed to mention the
concert in their reports of the days
doings.

AN ADVOCATE EXTRA
DOG TRAIN STOPS AT WEB.
STER, JUNE 7th
ENORMOUS CROWD PRESENT
On that Great Day-Score One
for Webster and Her Com
mercial CIub-Clipping
from Waubay Advocate
June 9Th

"Klondike Biil's" dog train stopped
in that town yesterday and was marked
with the greatest crowd ever gathered
in our nsighboring berg. General
rejoicing was noted an every hand.
For weeks past it has been noticed
in the Webster papers that the citizens
of that town have been comforting with
the ''big bugs" of the railroad, through
her commercial club, endeavoring to
have one or more trains stop there.
For while it was thought their efforts
had failed and it was suggested that a
rural route be started from here to
give them better mail service, but just
as we are about to go to press word
comes overland that dog train stopped
there yesterday with two weary passen'
gers who, in order to make progress
the last few miles, got off and walked.
Waubay extends congratulations.
Webster and especially her CONNER
cial club certainly appreciate the noble
and heroic efforts of Waubay and the
Advocate, and will leave no stone
unturned in an effort to secure fer them
Carnegie medal for the heroism and
bravery displayed in strategetic
attack on the fierce and dangerous
.'Klondike Bill"
But thunderation! 1t didn't do SC
much good to get the train stopped as
the aforesaid "Bill" informed US that
he could not sell tickets except at coal
ing and watering stations, and that he
had given the sole and exclusive right
to our noble and n'ustrious friend Rex,
at the Waubay headquarters to sell
tickets and souvenir post cards of and
for the train and that no pressure
could be brought to bear that would
change this arrangement.
Twas ever thus since childhoods hours,
We've seen our fondest hope decay,
We never ask train of the powers
But that it passed us up each day.
Come on with your rural route boys.

IT IS AN OUTRAGE
NORTHERN NORMAL HAND.
ICAPPED BY REGENTS
REGENTS HEAR COMPLAINTS
Indignation Aroused in North.
ern Part of State by the Action
of the State Board in Grip
ping This Institution.

At meeting of the Webster Com
mercial Club held on Friday evening
last, a set of resolutions was adopted
opposing the action of the board of
regents of this state in cutting down
and changing the course of study at
the Northern Normal and Industrial
School at Aberdeen.
1t has been little difficalt to get at
the real action taken by the board. 1t
was at first supposed and understood
that the board expected to cut out
absolutely from the course of study in
that institution, all academic studies.
But finally at their last meeting at
Brookings the board determined not to
eliminate any of the studies, but to
withhold from the school the right to
graduate students in those studies and
thus deprive the school of the power
to fit it's students to enter the junior
year at college. This is what the
board has done. Heretofore the Aber-
deem normal maintained a course of
study which was practically the same
as the first two years of a college
course. Students having taken these
two years at Aberdeen, were given a
certificate of graduation in those
studies, which certificate has been
recognized in the colleges as equiva-
lent to a two years college course, and
which admitted the possessor to enter
at once upon the junior college year
The question of this attack upon the
Northern Normal has aroused a great
deal of interest in this community and
indeed, throughout the whole northern
part of the state. The wonderful
growth and progress of the Aberdeen
Normal has aroused the jealousy of
the institutions of learning in the
southern part of the state. The
attendance at this school is about eight
hundred, and it graduated last year
one hundred twelve students. This is
more than twice the number that has
ever been graduated in any one year
at the Madison State Normal, and
more than three times the number
ever graduated in any one year at the
Springfield Normal.
1t is a matter of regret that this
state has not board of regents which
deserve the entire confidence of the
people. This action has aroused a
deep-seated feeling that jealousy of
the growth and work of the Aberdeen
Normal is at the foundation of the
change.
The regents met at Aberdeen Mon

day last for the purpose of hearing
remonstrances against the action
taken. About one hundred men were
present at the meeting, all of whom
were vigorously and emphatically
opposed to the action of the board and
most of whom made strong arguments
to the board against it's action.
The resolutions of the Webster Com
mercial Club were presented and filed
with the secretary. Several hours
were spent in discussion of the ques-
ton, during which time nothing was
said by any member of the board
but Mr.. Hitchcock, of Mitchell. who
seemed to dominate and control the
entire board. None of the others had
anything to say. Mr.. Hitchcock
finally came out into the open, and
abandoning all other pretexts, declared
it was the purpose of the board of
regents to prevent the Aberdeen
Normal from encroaching upon the
work which properly belonged to the
university at Vermillion. He declared
it to be the purpose of the board of
regents to build up one strong institu-
ton in the state and to restrict the
growth of other institutions whic h
might compete with it. He declared
that the Aberdeen Normal should be
made purely normal and industrial
school, and that a student who desired
to fit himself for college and to take
the first two years of college course,
should not be permitted to do so at
Aberdeen. He expressed himself as
being opposed to the giving of certi-
ficates of graduation by the Aberdeen
Normal school which would entitle the
student to credit upon college course.
The views in opposition to Mr.. Hitch
cocks theory were emphatically
expressed and Mr.. Hitchcock left
Aberdeen with every clear realization
of the icy chilliness of the atmosphere
winch surrounded MIN.
The action of the regents is an out
rage and gross injustice to the peo-
pie of the northern part of the state
as it forces them to send their students
to the institutions in the southern part
or out of the state to prepare them
for college. The Northern Normal is
the only state institution in the north
ern part of the state and that it has
been appreciated is shown by the
record it has made, as stated above,
and the way it has been patronized. If
the powers that be insist on their pre-
sent policy, when that policy is gen.
orally understood by the people of the
state tributary to the Aberdeen school,
the regents will hear something drop,
at the next legislative session and it
will be with no uncertain soun1.
