FARMERS WANT
TO PLAY BALL
Challenge Arvada Business
Men for a Game in
Near Future.

J. A. Bates, one of our enter
prising farmers, informed US the
other day that a bunch of farm
ers in his vicinity would like to
play a game of ball with the
Arvada business men and that he
thought his bunch of boys could
give us a trimming. While the
Arvada business men do not
claim to be professional ball play
ers, they believe they can get a
nine together that will make the
farmers know they have been do
ing something if they give them
a trimming. Of course all pro-
fessional or semi-professional ball
players would be barred from
the game.

THE BOOSTER PARADE

The big advertising parade
given under the auspices of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce,
will take place in Denver, Tues
day, July Is, commencing at II
O'Clock in the morning. All the
business houses in Denver and
many towns in Colorado will be
represented by gorgeous floats.
A moving picture machine will
take pictures of the parade and
later on films will be made and
shown in every moving picture
theatre in the United States.
Arvada will be represented by a
beautiful large float in the form
of an immense strawberry. This
is a great advertising scheme
and should do Colorado worlds of
good in many ways. The parade
will take place on the main
streets of Denver, but as the
line Of march has not been COM
pleted we are unable to state
just where it will begin.

Broomfield Buds.

Last week Miss Harriet Hos
mer had the pleasure of spend
ing a few days with her friend.
Miss Eleanor Tucker, who re-
sides at Nederland throughout
her summer vacation. The two
young ladies had a delightful
time. One of the beautiful
climbs was to the summit of
castle Rock a difficult trip, which
practically no one ever made be-
fore. On another occasion they
drove to Glazier Lake. Miss
Hosmer also had the honor of
walking across the Barker
Meadow dam, which is owned by
the Eastern Colorado Power
company and is known as the
largest cement dam in the world.
Miss Hosmer returned to her
home on Sunday evening, bring

to have growing by the acre at
her ideal mountain home.

Much effort is being made to
make the event of this year
greater and more valuable in
every respect than any previous
exhibit, and it now gives every
promise to equal, if not excel, the
largest and most successful of
similar events held throughout
the United States.
Institutions of this character
are deserving and should receive
the united earnest support of
every organization and citizen
who desire to see the vast re-
sourses of this section properly
exploited and developed and the
population and wealth attained
which it deserves.
This annual exhibition is not
held for the benefit of any par
ticular locality, but for every
part of Colorado and its neigh
boring states and territories. 1t
is for the benefit of every indus
try and citizen in this section.
The management wants you to
feel that it is yours, for the pur-
pose of which it is organized, and
they would be glad to hear from
you with any suggestions as to
how they may hasten the accom-
plishment of the purpose, and to
know they will have your sup
port and assistance in the work.

Conditions in the country along
the branch lines west of the Mis-
souri, river are not of the best.
Owing to scarcity Of grass and
feed during the past summer, set
tiers have little feed for their stock
They expected to ship in large
quantities of feed and were other
wise preparing for winter, but the
early storms of three weeks ago
caught them before they were fully
prepared for that brand of weather.
The railroad company has been
unable to keep the branches open,
consequently what little feed was
on hand is nearly all gone.
1t is reported that when the
train arrived at Faith last week
there were in the neighbOrhOod of
three hundred teams in town wait
ing for supplies, and when the
train came to a standstill the peO-
pie were almost frantic in their ef-
forts to secure feed.
The railroad company is making
every effort to keep trains moving
on the branches, and unless the
weather becomes much more Sc
we're than it is at the present time
the settlers will be provided with
sufficient supplies to carry them
through. The company and the
people of the affected territory
are taking advantage of every op-
portunlty to get feed and other
supplies on hand, and with a cOu-
pie Of weeks of good weather, it is
likely that the situation will be
greatly relieved.

Heirs Must Live on Claims.

That residence upon and. culti-
vation of . homestead must be
made by the heirs of u deceased
claimholler whose residence time
was not up, is the decision of the
secretary of the interior rendered
quite recently in a land case from
the Rapid City land district.
The case was the contest of Will
liam Bartsch against the claim of
the heirs of Thomas Brown.
Brown died on February !, 1908,
without completing his residence,
and his heirs did not continue the
residence or make any further i'm
prOvements until over a year had
elapsed,
The local land Office officials de-
cided the case in favor of Bartsch,
the commissioner Of the general
land office at Washington reversed
this ruling, and now the Sec
retary of the interior finally sus-
tains the land office and declares
tnat the heirs forfeited their right
by not taking up the residence and
improving sooner.

MAY EXTEND Line
WEST FROM LEOLA
Minneapolis & St. Louis Railway
Reported to Have Decided
on Extension.

Aberdeen, S. d., Nov. 2S.-
According to information given
out here, the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis has practically decided to
buil1 its extension to Canada from
Leola, the present terminus Of the
line in South Dakota.
This information IS to the effect
that the road will build from LeOla
to Ashley, n. D., thence north
westward through Mcintosh, Kid
der, Logan, Sheridan, ticHenry
and Bottineau counties in North
Dakota, and entering Canada in
the southeastern corner of Sask at
chewan.
Another route which is being
considered is by way of Bismarck,
from Ashley, thence through Nc
Lean and Ward counties to Sas-
katchewan. Either route will open
a large section of uirgin territory.
1t is also announced, semi off
cially, that a branch will be built
from Leola to Mound City, the
county seat of Campbell county,
South Dakota. Mound City has
no railroad, and St. Louis people
recently purchased a half interest
in the townsite company, and also
purchased half section adjoining
the town. They have secured a
right of way from Mound City to
the MCPHERSON county line, and it
is understood the citizens of Eure-
ka have guaranteed them a right
OF way from Leola, through Eure-
ka to the Campbell county line.

Minneapolis & st. Louis, is ex-
pected in Aberdeen in few days.

HAVE AK OF THEIR
OWN TO SHARPEN
South Dakota Wholesalers Express
Opposition to Plan of Twin
Cities.

Sioux Falls, 5. d., Nov. 27.-
Jobbers from the principal cities
of eastern South Dakota gathered
here to be present at hearing
held by the state board of railroad
commissioners. The sentiment
was expressed that South Dakota
wholesalers are in favor of lower
freight rates, but will not consent
to the plan of the twin cities to
have the rates lowered into South
Dakota unless corresponding re-
ductiOn of rates is made within the
state in favor of the dealers of
South Dakot
The railroad commissioners held
the hearing for the purpose of as
certaining the wishes of the South
Dakota wholesalers in regard to
the proposed intervention of the
South Dakota commissioners in q
suit pending before the interstate
commerce commission, wherein
Minneapolis and st. Paul are seek
ing to secure lower freight rates
into South Dakota.
At the hearing the sentiment
was freely expressed by the South
Dakota jobbers and wholesalers
that the present rates. favor the
twin city jObbers and work against
the jobbers within South Dakota,
and that any change which would
increase the advantage OF the twin
city jobbers and wholesalers would
ruin the South Dakota jobbers,
1t is believed as result of the
hearing the railroad commission
ers will intervene in the case for
the purpose Of protecting South
Dakota wholesaling interests, and
that the latter will file schedules,
to be used in the case, showing
the present rate condition and how
if any change is made at all, it
ought to be so as to favor South
Dakota.

Shortage of Feed in Country Along

Branches.

forts to Secure Supplies

Railroad Doing Everything Possible
TO Relieve Possibility of
Distress.

The railroad company is still
having a good deal of trouble with
its branch lines running southwest
of Mobridge. From all accounts
there is much more snow west of
the river than there is here and
when the wind blows across the
barren prairies there is nothing to
prevent the snow from drifting in
to the cuts and low places along
the track.
The towns on the branches are
commencing to run short of feed
for live stock, although this condi.
tion has not become critical in any
Of them except Faith, where con-
ditiOn were for time extremely
critical due to lack Of hay and feed
for live stock. The Faith com
mercial club sent a telegram to j.
f. Richards, division superintend-
ent in Mobridge setting forth the
fact that homesteaders were with
out hay or feed for the horses and
cattle, which could not secure any
feed on the range because of the
heavy snow, and that local livery
barns had run out of supplies to
care for transient trade or to sell
to homesteaders. Superintendent
Richards responded, promising to
make every effort to get tra;nlOad
of feed through, and train of
eighteen cars, loaded with hay and
feed, was started out at once.
The train got as far as LaPlant,
where it stuck in a cut during u
heavy snOwstOrm, the snow filling
the cut faster than a .ang of shOv-
elers which accompanied the train
could clear the track. AT the
same time a train was sent east
from Faith to clear the line of snow
loaded with all the shovelers that
could be picked up. The train
sent east from Faith stuck. The
two trains started out on Wednes-
day night, and finally on Friday a
train got through to Faith and
the live stock of the settlers and
the townspeople was saved.
FORTY SACKS OF NAIL
The first train to get into Faith
after a blockade of two weeks
reached the town about 2 O'Clock
on Friday afternoon. 1t carried
forty sacks Of mail, the accumula,
ton of two weeks. Some of the
passengers and train crews had
some strenuous experiences. One
train out of Faith got within ten
miles of Eagle Butte when it stuck
in a drift. The conductor and
the trainmaster who was On the
train, walked ten miles into Eagle
Butte and engaged lumber
wagon, which took the passengers
of%f of% sho train and hauled them into
town. The train crew stuck by
the train, and by almost constant
shoveling finally got into Eagle
Butte. The engine ran out of
