West Has Bryan Alone.

President Wilson's Cabinet, as shaped
thus far, Is largely Eastern and South
ern. The West Is thus far assured Of
only one man, William Jennings Bryan.
The political Importance Of this situa-
ton is obvious. The names Of three Of
the prospective Cabinet officials are
still In the dark. The fact the wes.
has got nobody but Bryan in the Cab
met slate as thus far disclosed leads to
the belief Mr. Wilson viii add one or
more Western men to the list before
he makes it public March 4.
Reports are current today that one of
the men named will be from the Pacific
coast. and that he will be a man whose
name has not thus far been mentioned.

AUTO ROAD Is ROUTED.

At a good roads meeting held at
Cheyenne, Wyo., on the 10Th of this
month the final step was taken in the
routing of the Deadwood to Denver
highway.
This important meeting was composed
of large number of delegates from
Denver as well as official representatives
from large number of towns along the
route. Arab L. Hungerford and Charles
II. Chase represented Crawford, Neb.,
and DR.. f. w. Bilger and Geo. Sweat
acted as delegates from Ardmore.
After some discussion as to the most
feasible route the road was finally en-
dorsed as follows: Deadwood to Custer,
Hot Springs, Edgemont, Ardmore,
Crawford, Harrison, Van Tassel, Lusk
and from thence via Greeley and
Cheyenne to Denver.
This marks the elimination of one of
the aims which Ardmore and her sister
towns have been endeavoring to attain
for some time and we put it down in
our book of assets with the greatest OF
pleasure giving due credit to the men
above mentioned who have been largely
responsible for the happy outcome OF
this endeavor.- American.

A COWARDLY ACT.

Last Wednesday morning while
August Doll was engaged at threshing
at the Hoy place, Frank Meeker and
w. F. Sayars who were loading bundles
discovered two bundles of oats contain
ing each a fiat rock about inches long,
6 inches wide and inches thick.
Fortunately, these rocks were exposed
to view as the bundles were being
loaded which fact undoubtedly pre-
vented the separator from being torn
to pieces and, perhaps some of the
threshers being hurt.
Close observation revealed the fact
that these rocks were but recently
placed in the bundles. Who the guilty
party is that did this cowardly act and
what motive they had for so doing is
not known unless it be to damage the
machine. 1t was said to be the work
of some kids but this ascertain is to
fishy as kid is not very likely to leave
the public road, travel eighty rods or
more and do such a trick in plain sight
of house and take chances of being
seen or caught in the act. No, We can
not believe this to be the work of any
kids for various reasons, but we do be-
lieve it to be the work of some one who
ought to be gifted with more brains to
be used in a different manner than
planning to damage private property.

BEAVER VALLEY NOTES
BY f. Z. KING

Walter Scott and George Havens were
Custer County citizens who visited Hot
Springs Saturday.
Charley Knapp, who returned from
the eastern part OF the state, is busily en-
gagged in the erection of new house on
his claim.
The dance at the Livingstone home
was well attended, and every body re-
ported good time. Music was furnish
ed by the Curl orchestra.
George Drane, who for the past six
years has made this his home, will
leave in few days for California, where
he has extensive mining interests. He
will lease his place here.
Jack Kinsel will leave in few days
for his old home in Illinois to spend
the winter. 1t has been fifteen years
since Jack visited the place of his
nativity, and many changes have
necessarily been wrought.
The first snow of the season fell here
last week, but did not last long. The
weather, however has remained very
threatening and is still unsettled at this
writing. There are good many potatoes
in the ground yet in this vicinity, ant
we are hoping that it will not freeze
lup yet.

DEFECTS IN PRIMARY LAW
No Provision in the Primary Law for
the Naming of Assessors and
County Commissioners.

States Attorney STREET of Lawrence
county recently made inquiry of the
attorney general regarding provisions
of the new primary law, and received
the following reply:
Aberdeen, S. d., Oct. II, 1918.
Mr.. A. Z. STREET, States Attorney,
Deadwood, South Dakota.
Dear sir: l have your inquiry of
September 30th, which is as follows:
Il can find no provision in the pri-
mary law for the naming of assessor
and county commissioner by the pro-
posal committees from unorganized
townships. AS the commissioners are
elected from districts l am unable to
determine under the law whether or not
the entire county unit representation
vote shall name the above mentioned
candidates, or only that unit representa-
ton vote from precincts in unorganized
townships for assessor, and in districts
for county commissioner.
''If you can conveniently give me
your opinion covering the above men,
toned points l shall greatly appreciate
it,"
Replying there to 1 will state that l
have carefully examined chapter POI of
the session laws of 1911 being the new
primary law, and fully agree with you
that the statute makes no provision for
the choice by the proposal committees
of assessors for unorganized territory
and county commissioners by districts.
The same situation exists with reference
to choice by the proposal committee of
candidates for congress, and so far as
all of these offices are concerned l can
only say that the law is defective.
Eventually, if the matter is contested,
the questions you have raised can only
be determined by the courts, with, so
far as | can determine, no precedent to
guide them, and with the law silent
upon the subject.
Asa general statement | would say
| that all candidates for Office should be
chosen by the representatives from the
districts for which they are to he selec-
ted, and presume that the proposal
committees will take that attitude
Were the matter for me, personally, to
decide, l would state that in my opinion
that method should be adopted, as it
is more equitable and just than any
other method.
/ know that this does not answer
your inquiry, but l am unable to
definitely give you an opinion where
there is neither law nor precedent to
aid me in arriving at one.
With my kindest personal regards,
| remain.
Very truly yours,
ROYAL &. JOHNSON.

TO HAVE A CREAMERY
Will Organize Under the Name of Custer
Cooperative Creamery Company
With Capital of S4,ooo.

The creamery meeting held in the
court house Thursday was a decided
success. There was good attendance
of both farmers and business men. Mr..
Cort, Minneapolis creamery organizer
addressed the audieuce and fully ex-
planned the cooperative system.

name of the Custer Cooperative Cream
cry Company, and that 100000 should
be raised by sale of stock to construct
the building, install the machinery and
have small amount left for running
expenses until returns could be received
from the output. Nearly $500 was
subscribed and committee appointed

necessary.
Another meeting will be held next
Thursday to complete the organization
and draw the articles of incorporation.
The creamery is practically assured and
every one should attend the next meet

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH SATURDAY. OCTOBER 25. 1913
FUNDS ARE NOT TRASH FERABLE.

FUNDS ARE NOT TRASH FERABLE.
An opinion of more than passing
interest to school boards of the state
has been rendered by the attorney
generals department on inquiry from
Stanley county. The question raised
is the right of school board to transfer
money from one fund to another in the
transaction of their school affairs. The
holding is that there is no legal pro-
vision for such transfer and the general
law is strongly against such action. The
opinion goes so far as to hold that where
fund is created for specific purpose,
and that purpose has been carried out,
with a surplus on hand there is no
method of transferring it to any other
purposes of the school township. This
would mean that if there is a surplus
in sinking fund after the bonds pro-
tected by such fund have been paid
there is no legal way of getting this
surplus into any of the other educa-
tional funds of the township, however
badly they might be needed for such
purpose.-Capital Journal.
