SHORT | N
o MILWAUKEE
ROUTE FROM ABERDEEN TO
BIG STONE WILL BE MADE
PRACTICALLY STRAIGHT
LINE.

Aberdeen, S. D.-The Milwaukee
railroad has finally decided to short
en- its line between Aberdeen and the
Twin Cities by running nearly a
straight line from Milbank to Big
Stone. Surveyors have gone wei the
ground a number of times and have
reported the plan to be entirely feas-
ible. The new route will branch from
600 feet east of the station at Mil
bank, and will run in a straight line
to Big Stone. From Big Stone, it is
stated the route will be close to the
north end of Big Stone lake to Ort-
onville, Mimi, where the depot will
be removed a few hundred feet south
of it's present location. This will
cause the road to pass through a deep
gulch west of Big Stone, at which
several thousand cubic yards Of dirt
will be removed and utilized in build
ing a 14-foot grade along the lake. 1t
is stated the company will hire every
available man and push the construc-
ton of the new grade to completion
before cold weather. a
Webster May Get New Line
Webster, in Day county, is quite
hopeful of securing the new extension
of the Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road to the north. Two years ago the
road surveyed a route from Wallace,
on the Observation-Disclosures branch,
northward into North Dakota, pass
ing through Webster. Recently, it is
stated at Webster, surveyors were in
structed to start from Wallace and
re-survey the route. Superintendent
Bayard of Watertown visited Web
ster a few days ago and interviewed
a number of the business men rela-
tive to the possibilities of business
to be secured by the railroad should
it decide to build through Webster
and is said to have received consid-
cradle encouragement.
w. G. Bierd, general manager OF
the st. Louis, was a member of an
automobile party which drove from
Watertown Horthward into North Da-
kota in search of the most feasible
route for the extension. The party
drove to Florence, and thence to
Waubay and Webster, both of which
towns are on the Milwaukee, main

ward through the coteaus in northern
Day and Marshall counties, and ex-.
plored that portion of the, country
thoroughly in search of the best pos
sible route through the hills. The
Watertown men returned home after
reaching the. state line between
North and South Dakota, but Gener-
al Manager Bierd continued north
ward and will return to Waterfowl
later, probably by way Of Ortley, also
on the Milwaukee road. BY the time
he will have returned, a wide strip
of country will have been explored,
and the general manager will doubt
less be able to determine. ~prettyAdefi.

that this event went off very success
fully, and that the fruit and vegetab-
les exhibits were unusually good. He

REFERENDUM BALLOT
ONLY A FOOT LONG

Pierre, S. D.-Samples of the con-
stitutional amendment and referred
law ballots which will be used at the
next election have been received at
the Office of the secretary of state.
The II containing tho constitutional
amendment is only six inches long,
while the ballot containing the re-
ferrendum is twelve inches in length.
This is quite a contrast with the sew
en-foot lists which confronted the
voters the last time they went to the

Miscarriage of Justice

The jury in the case Of Claud Allen, one of the
gang of outlaws which murdered the judge, and
sheriff. and wounded the clerk of the circuit court
at Hillsve. Va, was unable to reach an agree
ment and was discharged.
Instead of SO much talk about the courts. II
would be well to do little talking about the jur-
les which try criminal cases. In view of the evil
dence in the case of Claud Allen, it is difficult to
understand how any twelve reasonable men. con-
scientious In their desire to render justice could
fail to arrive at a verdict.
But this is but one instance of many where
the jury, in the face of strong evidence acquits
the defendant and brings to naught all the efforts
of the officials to punish the guilty. With this
direlcton Of duty by juries goes another. the at
tempt to evade jury duty by the best citizens.
If the law-abiding citizen is not willing to sit
in judgment when the laws have been violated he
should never complain because the guilty are not
punished; he is more to blame than the officials
whose duty II is to apprehend offenders.

High Cost of Living

The question of the high cost of living now
and during recent years is one that is absorbing
the attention of political parties, metropolitan
newspapers, agitators, and many honest citizens.
But the strange feature of the whole matter
is that but few understand the real cause of the
rise in prices within recent years. There is an in
sistent cry against "monopolies" and trusts, " it
being alleged in nearly every instance that to one
of these creatures of the rich is due the high prc
es of food products,
No one seems TO be able TO make any intelli
gent charge. but the impression has been gained
from some vague. indefinite source that il must be
the rich that are to blame for all the evils of man
kind. and as has always been the case. anything
calculated to cast reflection upon the man OF
means, always finds ready and willing supporters,
Those living in cities who work for salaries,

man, all of whom produce nothing upon which the
body depends for suStenance are the people who
are oppressed by the high prices.
However, with but few exceptions, the high
prices are not due to trusts" "monopoes" OF
other evils attributed TO wealth. instead they are
due to the short supply and the increasing de-
mand.
And there is one class of citizens who have
cause to smile at the wailngs of their more unfor
tunate brothers; these are the farmers. II ha.
been but few years since anything was supposed

The Penalty of Recklessness

Ten persons all Of them occupants Of the ma
chimes. were injured in automobile accidents last
week in and near Salt Lake City two of the in
iured dying.
This is terrible toll to be paid for the reck-
lessness of speed maniacs. If drivers of automo-
biles would but use the precaution of the average
driver of a team, automobile accidents would be
few.
II seems that as soon as a driver learns how to
handle the levers of an automobile, he becomes
seized with burning desire to go as fast as the
machine will carry him. While going at high
rate of speed. If anything goes wrong with the
steering apparatus of an automobile, there suit is
smash-up and only good fortune will prevent the
occupants of the unfortunate car from receiving
serious injury or death.
The terrible death list due to automobile acct
dents is the result almost entirely of the reckless
ness of the drivers.

At last, after years of wrangling. the senate
has ousted William Lorimer, senator-eect OF Hi

produced, the committee having the investigation
in charge making the same recommendation as the
former committee, that he was entitled to his
seat
a majority of the members voted to GUST him.

reason perhaps only they themselves know.
