New Road Proposed.

A very desirable project is on
foot among the people of the
eastern tier of counties in this
state to build a public highway
south to Sioux Falls and Sioux
City, a road which would have
many advantages over the pro
posed line from Yankton north.
This would bring the crossing of
the Missouri river at Sioux City,
where there is substantial
bridge across the Missouri rather
than at Yankton, where there is
only pontoon wagon bridge, and
would be in a direct line from
here to Sioux Falls, the largest
city in the state. The road would
go from here to Clear Lake,
Brookings, Flandreau, Dell Rap
ids, Sioux Falls, Canton, Elk
Point and Sioux City. The pro-
posed line runs through a coun-
try in which a road could be east
ly built with little expense, and
would prove very popular high
way, A party of good road en-
thusiasts, consisting of Messrs.
G. C. Middlebrook, N. j. Bleser,
c. D. Fairchild, George Rix, G..
NJ. Cotton, Rev. w. J. Oldtield,
James Cochrane, Fred Fenner
and H. Putnam, started with au-
tos Wednesday for Brookings,
where the matter will be dis
cussed with the Brookings com
mercial club, and with Sioux
Falls delegation, and the proba-
bilities are that united action will
be taken in the proposed enter
prise.

Two Freights Come Together Killing
One Man and Manning Others.

The Aberdeen Ne US of last
Monday gave the following ac-
count of the wreck at Bristol
early Sunday morning:
The mistaking of a signal to
slow down for u signal to goahead
caused head-on collision ait $50
yesterday morning at Bristol
between an east bound Milwau :
kee stock train and a west bound
freight, instantly killing G. E.
Gunion, an immigrant bound for
Watson, Mimi. and injuring sew
eral others.
No 50, going west, was stand
ing on the main line front of the
station at Bristol, waiting for the
stock tram to come along and get
on the siding. When the train
came within signalling distance,
G. G. Caspers, brakeman on the
freight, gave the signal to slow
down. Through the dense fog of
the morning, Engineer Phil
Hughes of the approaching train
mistook the signal for 'go ahead
thinking that the switch had al
ready been thrown.
The stock train crashed into
the freight, breaking the pilots
on both engines and causing an
migrant car on the oncoming
train TO break in two, killing it's
occupant, who was asleep. This
was the only car that was mater
tally damaged, it being a long,
light carriage car.
Two other migrants were
slightly injured; Engineer Phil
Hughes of Montevideo had his
hand crushed, and c. G. Caspers,
the brakeman, was hit with flying
pieces from the wreck.
Superintendent Gillick stated
yesterday that it was very in
significant wreck to cause the
damage that it did, and that there
would be little blame attached to
anyone as it was clearly mis-
taken signal and not case of
care1essness.
G. e. Gunion was bound from
Hettinger to Watson, his home,
and was accompanied by julius
NJ. Albertson and Stephen E.
Peterson, also bound from Het-
finger to Watson, and both are
married. These two men were
injured about the head and body.
Joseph Stein, bound from Raj
eigh, N. D., to Lindsborough,
Mimi, suffered a dislocation of
the right hip and was injured
about the head and face. George
Anderson suffered injuries to
both his feet in jumping from the
train George Siebert of Java,
who was standing on the plat
form, suffered injuries to his left
elbow and the nerves of his hand,
being hit by flying particles from
the wreck. + w. Kempt of Eagle
Butte was also injured.

Proud of Taft.


Sioux Falls Argus-Leader The
friends of Taft were very proud
of the way he acquitted himself
at Pittsburg. He was entertain
ed there at banquet given by
the Pittsburg Chamber of Com
merce. Pittsburg is the home of
the steel trust and all of the mil
lionaireS who are interested in
that trust were present at the
banquet. They were angry at
the president because Of the ad-
ministration $ move against the
steel trust and proposed to let
the president know. Congress-
man Littleton of New York, a
democratic defender Of "the in
terestS was secured as one of
the speakers, and in the presence
of Taft, and amid the cheers of
the co'nplacent miliionaires, Lit
tleton flayed the Sherman anti
trust law, said its enforcement
was impossible, and demanded
it's repeal. The dispatches say
that LittletOn was ''cheered to
the echo and that the full-fed
banqueterS were so enthusiastic
about it that they really regard
ed the law as all but wiped off the
statute books by the time Little
ton ceased.
Then something happened.
Taft arose to speak, and in the 10
minutes allowed to him he made
the eyes of the trust magnates
bulge. The president "rattled
the dishes before him as he
pounded the table with his big
fist" The Taft smile was gone.
In it's place was the fixed and
tense expression of the alert war
rior. His voice rose to roar,
and shaking with emotion, the
president threw away the speech
he had prepared, and handed the
magnates something they will
not soon forget. He told them
of the rights of the common peo-
pie. He told them of the abso-
lutte necessity of competition in
business. He warned them that
without it, socialism would be
the next big thing with which
they would have to deal. ear
rangements to control prices"
the president said must stop.
The law must and would be en-
forced. With eyes frightened
be opposition, with his fighting
blood aroused TO to the last drop,
with the challange of the people
on his lips, Taft faced his hostile
audience and made it clear that
an issue had been raised which
would be taken direct to the
American people. Taft did not
get cheer when he started to
speak nor when he closed, but his
auditors will not soon forget the
things he said nor the way he
said them.
The incident made it clear that
every man that wants to abolish
competition, who believes in the
divine right of big business, who
gets his salary from "the inter
ests' and who clips it's coupons
is now lined up in a desperate
fight against Taft. The presi-
dent knows it and so do his
friends. But the common peo-
pie of the country also know it,
and they are beginning to realize
that in Taft they have man with
the intelligence to understand,
with the courage to fight, and
with the level balance to win d
peoples victory 1t is therefore
easy to see why the fight started
against him in progressive quar-
tern is making small progress.

To Help Growers Sell.

The National Apple Show will no
longer limit its scope to the display
and exploitation of the apple growing
industry. In addition to other fea-
lures which have contributed to Its
success, the big organization Will en-
ter on it's fourth year with a strong
auxiliary protective association, the
aim of which will be to assist or
chardists throughout the coun-
try in obtaining the best price the
market affords.
Profiting by the satisfactory ex-
perience of Southern California cit
rus fruit growers, many Oregon and
Washington fruit growers have al
ready banded themselves together
for mutual protection, in an ogani-
zation known as the Northwestern
Fruit Growers Exchange. with head
quarters in Portland. This organi-
zation has already accomplished
such tangible results in behalf of the
individual grower that is is now pro-
rosed to widen It's influence through
the aid of the National Apple Show.
One of the trustees of the Apple
Show will suggest at the annual
meeting of the trustees in January,
that an auxiliary organization be es-
tablished, to be known as the Nat
ional Apple Exchange. or the Nat
ional Apple Show Information Bu-
reau. 1t will be the aim OF this Or
ganization, to keep growers posted
on market conditions throughout the
world, to help them maintain and
get the best possible prices. to elimi
nate competition and to prevent
glutting the market by keeping the
fruit moving to centers where the
main supply Is never in excess of
the demand.
The proposed organization will
probably be patterned after the Cal
ifornia system, in which the direc-
torate of the parent organization is
selected from the Individual organi-
cations and its higher officers are
named in the same manner. The
organization will be strictly protect
i've. and no attempt will be made to
manipulate the market at any time.
AS the interested trustee put 1t, 1t
will be the sole aim OF the organi-
zation, backed up by the National
Apple Show. to see that growers get
their just deserts and are not whee-
died out Of their legitimate profits
