in favor of A. C. Lennon. The result
OF the informal ballot was so strong
in his favor that the vote was made
unanimous. Mr.. Lennon was a candi-
date in the Democratic primaries four

was present at Tuesdays meeting and
after thanking all present for the con-

We're pleased with the reception he

here as an opponent of Branson he
was heard by not more than 80 peo-

At Wakonda, Mr. Branson for the
first time noticed the personal attacks
made upon him by Mr.. Dillon. He
contented himself with asking the
people to inquire of members of the
state senate who sat with Branson
and Dillon in the sessions of 1908 and
1905, which of the two should be pCe--
ferred. Mr.. Dillon was challenged to
find one in ten of those members who
would prefer him above Branson.

and further that he should have the
cooperation of the bushes men of

it was required, as it was stated this
would be necessary in the course OF
the work being carried out
With the action of the Commercial
Club in donating $4,000 to this
railroad project there is splendid
feeling that the enterprise will be
carried forward to a definite con-
cluson, and as Mayor Hitchcock ex-
pressed the idea, there will be no lack
of railroad men ready to take up the
building of the system of 140 miles
when there is so much evidence of
strong and substantial financial back
ing. With Mitchell SO strongly COM
mitted to the railroad project the
business men will doubtless do
everything within their power to
make it a success. With Pierre bust
ness men working at the other end
of the road and the farmers in the
middle SO enthusiastic, success is
spelled in big letters.

Seattle, Wash.-Five lives known

perty damage of several hundred
thousand dollars are the result of
several forest fires which swept over
the northwestern part of Washing
ton yesterday and last night.
The fires are still burning uncon-
trolled, but in most places the situa-
tion shows Improvement. the most
serious fires today are in Snohomish
county, where several saw mills and
logging camps have been destroyed.
The loss of life reported occurred
in the fires which destroyed four log
ging camps in Skagic county. Fifteen
million feet of green timber were de-
stroyed by this fire. Other fires in
western Washington brought the to-
tai timber destroyed to 70,000,O0O

The Work Going Good.
Secretary Silsby in the course of
his remarks said:
when this railroad proposition
was first presented to the Commercial
Club, one man had spent 900 in
expenses and had raised $1I06, 600 by
contracts, and before one of the part
ners had died the sum had reached
$130,0G0. If every quarter section in
16 miles of road would give Sc, 900
a mile between Mitchell and Blunt,
leaving out the TO miles out of Nit
chell, it would reach $500, 200. Cut
this in two, and there is not farm
er but who would save 5000 each
year in hauling his crop to market, as
that is the estimate one farmer made
that it cost him to haul his crop such
a long distance at the present time.
| With $300,00N in contracts, in my OPP
| inion, there is not a railroad man in
the country but who would be glad tC
have the chance to take up this pro-
position and carry it through. When
the Omaha road came into Mitchell
We gave $33, 900 for it to come and

to Mitchel business interests more
than twice that sum, and it will be
