play, Thirty Minutes Tor Refresh

Saturday night fully demonstrated that
all talent is not confined to those in the

patronage Not dull moment during
the entire program and the repeated

These home talent efforts are worthy

Kenton McVey, second son of Judge

Realizing his inability to rescue his
companion he hastened to the shore
for assistance, but finding none was
obliged to telephone to Caldwell for
help.
It was about 4 80 when the startling

GOLD REPORTS ON ALASKA.

The United States Geological Sur vey has just published as bulletin 52O-H report on the mining and water supply of the Fortymile. Sev- entymile, Circle. and Fairbanks dis tricts, Alaska, by F.. A. Porter and C. F. Ellsworth The estimate value of the combined gold production of the Fortymile and Seyentymile districts for 1911 was s2l2.000. an increase of sl2.O00 over the output for 1910 due to the success of two dredges on the headwaters Of Fortymile river. The value of the gold production of the Fairbanks district in 1911 Is estimated to be approximately a4.5o0.o00. a de- crease of si,600. 900 from the output foI 1910. due mainly to the fact that mosI of the bonanzas of the camp have been worked out and the major par of the mining was confined to deposit! of relatively low grade. The Circle pr cinct in 1911 produced gold with an estimated value of 3350.00o. whici exceeds that of any other year since 1898. The increase was due entirely to the improved methods employed.

Loyal l.. Jenkins, who was one
of the Roosevelt delegates from the
ninth district of Massachusetts to
the Chicago convention, does not
endorse the charges of fraud by
the convention, and says he pro-
poses to support the nominees. Of
the convention he says:
"The convention was conducted
fairly and the utmost opportunity
was given for debate to all parts
ans. In the SO called contested
cases there was a chance for an
honest difference of opinion. After
carefully hearing the points ln
controversy [ concluded that no
fraud or shadow of fraud could
honestly be charged against any
one. Holding that belief | con-
tend that the nomination was pro-
perly and legally made"

The senate, by vote of IS to %
decided that the election of Senator
Lorimer of Illinois was accom-.
plished by fraud and was therefore
void. We believe the decision is
Just. And yet, in justice to MIR.
Lorimer we believe it must be ac-
knowledged that the evidence was
not suficient to convict him per-
sonally of the crime of bribery.
The fact seemed to be conclusively
proven that bribery was used in
his behalf, and this in itself should
inyalidate the election, as the SEN
ate. which is the judge of it's own
mem bers, can not afford to coun-
tenance corruption in the election
of it's members. During his speech
in his own defense Mr. Lorime1
took occasion to give his accusers
some hard raps. Among other
things he presented quite a list o.
afidayits from southern delegates
to the recent Chicago convention
to the effect that they had beer
offered money to vote for th'
Roosevelt forces in the convention

Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that both
the republican and democratic
platforms are wrong in declaring
for more restrictive legislation to
control trusts. His idea is that
trusts are here to stay and the
people might as we'll get accustom.
ed to them. He would not ham
per them with restrictive iegisla-
tion, but would turn them loose to
prey upon the public, but when
one of them gets oppressive he
would prosecute it under the gen.
eral law. Who is to determine,
under such a method, whether a
trust is oppressive or not? Mani
festly it would rest entirely with
the chief executive. There would
be no specific law to determine,
but it would be left to the dis
creation of the president. It is no
wonder That the big interests are
fiocking to the support of Mr..
Roosevelt's third party movement,
and are trying to take the immuni-
ty bath, and become ''good trusts
oy making liberal contributions to
his campaign fund. This is the
| policy that he pursued when he
was president, and according to
Sen. La Follette's statement, the
capital engaged in trust operations
was multiplied during his ad-
ministration over ten times. He
would have the people entrust
their interests entirely to him and
consider him the embodiment o1
all wisdom, justice and power
We hardly believe the people are
ready to return to such an era Of
concentrated power, an era thai
would place more power in the
president than is exercised by the
Gear of Russia.

The Sioux City Tribune says,
"the electors chosen in South Da-
kota are republicans of undoubted
standing. To file a separate list
of Taft electors Is plainly to bolt
the republican party of South Da
kota."
An Oyster Bay special of July
18th, says: "Formation of dis
tinct independent party and not
the capture of the republican party
is the course of Col. Roosevelt laid
out for himself tonight"
How can electors nominated on
a republican ticket who pledge
themselves to support candidate
for president heading a "distinct
independent party" be considered
republicans of undoubted stand
ing ?" In the state convention of
Iowa the progressive faction was
in control, but they did not have
the andacity to- place Roosevelt
electors at the head of the republic
AN ticket. Instead they called a
separate convention to meet in
Des Moines July Oath for the
nomination of Roosevelt electors.
This iR perfectly proper, as every
voser can then express his choice
at the polls. Had this been done
in South Dakota there could have
been no objection, but to place
Roosevelt electors at the head ol
the republican ticket with the de.
liberate purpose of making it i'm.
possible for any voter to vote fol

small grain is nearly ready for the
