STERLING U. S. A
The South Dakota Legislature Elects
A Senator on the Second Ballot
Wednesday.

A private message received here
Wednesday evening from Pierre, an
nounced the election of Dean Sterling
AS United States Senator from South
Dakota. On the first ballot Tuesday,
Sterling had a majority OF three in
the House while the vote in the Sen.
ate was a tie. The second ballot TAX
Ell on Wednesday resulted in the cleo
tion Of Sterling, who was the Repub'
licau nominee at the June primaries,
hut he later espoused the Bull Moose
cause, which aleniated the support OF
many staunch Republicans, and for a
time it was thought that the Senator
ial plumb would be wrested from
him. The final result shows him to
he a victor and the people OF South
Dakota are glad the struggle is over
and that the fight did not involve a
long drawn out dead lock.

Rail Road Rumors.

During the past week We have heard
some very important railroad rumors
One important rumor that has been
persistent, Is that the Western Town
site Co., has acquired title to a quar-
ter section just over The line in lrlPp
county, between here and Witten, and
have plated a new town. If this be
true, it would appear that the West
ern Townsite people have finally come
to the conclusion that their present
railroadless townsites are not on the
proposed extension Of the c. n y. W.
Railway. Il is also rumored that the
railroad company will get busy OF
that new extension in the spring, and
from what We can gather from all
these rumors, Wood will have a rail-
road by this time next year, or soone
OF course il is hard to tell just what d
railroad company will do, until they
do il. There are some who profess 10
believe that il the road misses WOOD
at all il will go to the north OF u.s.
but we think this hardly probable
and Of course our guess is just as
good as any one else's on this propo'
sition.
