Wednesday afternoon discussion Of
the Ployhar- B)akemore initiative, refer
endum and recall concurrent resolution,
amending the constitution, brought out
a packed gallery and full lobby al Bis
marck and strong speeches were made
both for and against the measure.
Among the speakers was Represen-
tative Klein of Stark of whom the Forum
says:
"A new light burst forth on the
oratorical horizon when Representative
Klein from Stark county was recognized
by tile chair. He had been talking but
a very short time until he had the at
tention of the entire house and gallery.
He is an orator from the word 20 and
in coming to the support of the. bill he
GAINED a reputation for argument and
oratory that will not be eclipsed for
some time in the house. He called
attention to the petitions that have
been received from various church
organizations over the state against
the bill. called prohibitionists imperial
lists. admonished the members not to
forget the platform upon which they
were elected and closed with an elo-
quent appeal to the members to give
the people a chance to indicate their
views on the matter"

Hettinger County Herald:
Nearly every day a new railroad story
is started and considerable excitement
goes with it. Last week Amidon, thir-
ty miles west of New England, was
made the center of the universe by No
less than twenty Missouri Slope news
papers. That prospective town would
be bankrupt for twenty years if it had
to pay cash for the advertising it got
without the expenditure of one cent.
Somebody started something and it
only goes to show that it pays to adver-
tise.
Again somebody started something
and this week Midway, twenty miles
west of New England, has everything
right under its thumb. Amidon's as
pirations are Midway's materializa-
tions. The railroad and county seat are
spiked fast to Midway and there is no
way of getting from it. It's all settled,
and if it doesn't please you, just salts
fy yourself that it is like a tin can tied
to a dogs tail (bound to acur,) and
think how happy many of your neighbors
will be when the two streaks of rust are
extended from Gardner's pasture to
Pete Obere's p~ostofice.
Midway already has the finest farm
ing country out of doors and the finest
people out of politics. More good land
is being farmed each year and more
good people are settling in the Midway
country. Midway has one general store
and the only creamery in Billings
county. 1t is not crowded at the pres
ent time but things are moving Mid
wayward.
The bank of Midway is lust in the MAX
ing but it will make n of the strong
est institutions in the southwestern part
of the state. 1t has the makings. or
will have as soon as the certificate of
organization has been duly published.
This week articles of Incorporation and
articles of association for the bank of
Midway were filed with the secretary of
state. The ~incorporators are j. j. Muir
ply and F. B. Williams of New Eng.
land and C. L. Merrick of Bismarck {;
capital $40, 600.
F. B. Williams. who has been assis-
tant cashier in the Security State bank
of New England for several years, is to
be cashier of the newly organized bank
of Midway. He will move his family
from New England just as soon as he
has a suitable home built and will be
right on the job as soon as the bank has
it's charter for doing business.
Several reliable parties who have
some capital on hand are seriously con-
sidering locating in business at Mid
way Others are waiting until they
hear from Shollsmade. But laying all
joking aside. Midway will soon have a
bank that the people can bank on and
bank in. Cashier Williams will help
10 put Midway on the map.
