rearing ConteStS.
The indications as this paper goes to
press, Thursday afternoon, are that
a portion of the followers of Theodore
Roosevelt will bolt the Republican ma
tional convention and nominate ticket
headed by Roosevelt. All, apparently,
that can prevent such action is the
elimination of both of the candidates
and the selection of another man for
the presidential nomination.
After the selection of Senator Root as
temporary chairman. as reported else
where in this issue, an adjournment
was taken to Wednesday morning when
the motion of Gov. Hadley of Missouri,
to substitute the Roosevelt delegates for
the Taft delegates seated in the con-
tested cases by the national committee,
was taken up and the day spent its dis
cussion, m any of the leading delegates
taking part in the greatest convention
debate in the history of the party.
When brought to a vote the motion
was defeated 564 to $40. Following
this the usual committees were appoint
ed and the credentials committee at
once organized to hear the contests.
Because of time limit being fixed for
presenting the arguments, the Roose-
velt members of the committee bolted
the meeting, shortly after returning
and after taking part in the proceedings
for q time, announced that they were
through and left. The committee ad-
journed shortly thereafter until this
morning and at noon it was announced
that report might possibly be made
late this afternoon. Dispatches to the
morning papers state that the bolt was
ordered by Col. Roosevelt.
A compromise ticket headed by Jus.
tice Hughes and Gov. Hadley or Sena-
tor Root and Coy. Hadley is favored by
many partisans of both Taft and Roose.

When heard the Commercial Club
Of Belle Fourche wanted to employ
secretary for q year. and inquired
what salary they would pay, I looked
up the population. When l saw the
size of the town, l asked myself how a
town could afford to pay 81 per capita,
as a salary to a secretary for their COM
mercial club. However, I did not try
to answer that, because as the money
for salary was deposited in a bank,
waiting to be drawn, took the job. 1t
seemed like taking candy from the
baby to draw century and half
every four moons.
But after l arrived and started to
work, I found that they had some very
we'll defined ideas of what they wanted
to do. And they were Just such plans
as larger city might have. went at
the work, and so did the members and
executive board. The result is that
now at the end of year we are able to
make report to the members, which
shows the following things done for
this city during single year:
New court house tor Butte county,
$50 600.
New water works system for Belle
Fourche, $4,000.
New Touring industry, $685.
New creamery and cold storage
$4,000.
New broom factory, with it's own
building, $4,000.
Two new business blocks built,
$41, 200.
New steel bridge in city, $8.500
New pressed brick plant, capitalized
and ready to start in spring, $12, 500.
New and modern hotel, $65 600.
Twenty. one new residences, $6l, 900.
This has been done in the department
of permanent improvements alone. The
total is $276,000 The pay of an archi-
tect is FIVE per cent of the building
Five per cent of s276 900 is $1S,SOO
Now, the Commercial club drew the

drew as the secretary.
In other lines the Commercial club
hold a successful county fair, very
successful auto show and horse racing
meet, and seven minor celebrations
during the year.
They secured for Belle Fourche in
1912 the meeting of the South Dakota
Bankers Association, the meeting Of
the K. of P. Grand Lodge, the south
Dakota Conference Of Congregational
Churches and the Black Poultry Show.
Besides this, the Commercial Club
has kept everlastingly at 1t In keeping
the name Of this city before the public
through the newspapers They have
performed hundred and one matters
Of small improvements, such rs securing
weather forecasts free by phone to all
country telephone lines, clean up day,

connection with the internal improve.
ment, they organized the Ladies' 'Auxil-
iarp to the Commercial Club. consisting
of one representative from each of the
seventeen Ladies' Clubs and organi-
cations of the city. Space will forbid
the naming of all the matter of this
kind they have accomplished.
1t must be remembered that this Is
the work of single year, already &C.
complished. Many more and larger
plans which are still immature are be-
ing formed. 1t Is In the light Of the
record of accomplishment given that
am going to take the position that no
town is too small to emyloy a paid Sec
retary to the commercial club.

The above seems to be the best posi-
BILE answer to what commercial organ
izution can do in a practical way in
building town commercially and in
dustrially even though it be a town of
only 1000 population.
If such magnificent results can be
accomplished on an income Of $4,000 or
$4,000 in little town of 1000 popula-
tion way up In the corner Of South
Dokota, how much more can be accom-
plished in our own lovely Owosso with
its 10000 population, with we'll org
anized Improvement Association with
sufficient income to do business in
proportion to the needs of our town,
insuring live, wide.awake campaign
to advance the interests of our town.
The citizens Mass Meeting at the
I. o. o. F. Temple at 7:30 o'clock
standard time tonight is the first step
towards such an organisation in our
community, and every citizen regard
less of his personal prejudices and his
petty iealousness of the past is urged
to attend this meeting in behalf of the
whole town in which he lives.

a fine trucking section. Last year the
tannery was not operated to its full

the owners to increase the output this

The cotton crop in this section is
several weeks late and many planters
will not try to make more than half

many years, and the truck farmers

thusiasm.
"'This is the first time he ever
