Electric Lights Before the Council

business was transacted. The meeting

the corner of Court and Rose streets,
and one north on Pearl street from the
depot one block to the corner of Pearl
and Rose streets.
When these plans are carried out it

practically all parts of the town lying
north of the track.

sion it was moved that meeting of the
citizens be called for tomorrow friday
evening TO be held in the court room OF
the court house and at that meeting it is
hoped to stir up the feelings of the peO-
pie of the city in reference to this mat

reached by all concerned it will then be
put to vote of the people at special
election. But it is first necessary to find
out what the feelings of the majority OF

NASHANGtONs ~ N'.s aug dct AVs A~A -
Frfday was q red letter day for The
homesteadeFs of the western portion of
the country. including South Dakota,
who were granted their petition to con
gress for leave OF absence from their
lands until April Is, 1912, without the
time of the actual absence being de-
Quoted from the full time of residence
required by law. All of the western
members OF congress, including those
from South Dakota. Wyoming, Ne
braska, Washington, Colorado, etc.,
where drouths had affected the condi-
tions of the settlers, put up a strong
fight for the measure as passed. Then
Mr. Burke immediately took charge OF
the measure, extending the time of pay
ment to homesteaders In the Rosebud
and other Indian reservations in South
and North Dakota, and succeeded in in-
ducing the house to lay aside the house
bill and TO take up Senate Bin Number
1852, which had previously passed the
upper house. Mr.. Burke had very
spirited fight on his hands, the chief
belligerent being Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, but the western mem
bers came to the aid OF the South Da-
kota congressman, with the .resnlL that
the senate bill was substituted and
passed Thus. in single afternoon two

ures, affecting The people Of the western

by the committee on expenditures in the

resentatives; this committee having as
sumed jurisdiction Of the matter Of the
complaint by George Silsbee, an old sol
dier from Minnesota, who claims that he
was not given square deal by Register
T. o. Burns, Of the Gregory land Office.
Mr.. Silsbee il here and has given his
testimony before the committee in
executive session. There Is a growing
feeling that J. ID. Baker and Company,
and other parties who have been barred
from practice before the land Office. are
deeply interested III the Silsbee matter,
and 1t is intimated Ia land Office circles
shat perhaps the fact that there are new
lands 10 be opened on the Rosebud and
pine Ridge reservations may have some
thing 10 do with the matter 10 which
Mr.. Silsbee is apparently . prime
mover. Il IS apparent thai the attempt
to involve the commissioner Of the gem

support from congressional or other
sources. and the same may perhaps De
said 81 the charges against Register
