ELECTRIC SHORT LINE
Business at Brookings Completed
and Madison Next
in Line

A. f. Fuller of this city is in re-
ceipt of a letter from President Luce of
the Electric Short Line railway to the
effect that the negotiations of the com
pany at Brookings will be closed by
the 18th inst. and that the officers of
the company will then be ready to take
up the matter of extending their line
from Brookings to Madison. 1t is of
course we'll known in this city that the
citizens of Brookings we're called upon
to subscribe for $50, 900 of stock in
the company, the money to be used
for construction purposes. Bookings
has succeeded in complying with the
demands Of the company, receiving a
guarantee that the road will be run
ming into that city within two years.
1t is not unlikely that President
Luce and other officers of the com
pany will visit Madison within the
month to enter into negotiations with
our citizens. as they have been so
licited to do.
For more than a year correspond.
ence has been maintained from this
city with the offirials of the com
pany, but they have seemed inclined
to d. one thing at a time. and have
RETAINED FROM entering into nsgotia-
tions with this city until they could do
business definitely. The road it is
known has for a long time been under
construction out of Minneapolis, forty
or fifty miles having been built and
in operation. The company owns very
valuable terminals in Minneapolis and
of late have been adding irstclass
equipment in the way cf rolling stock
and otherwise. 1t wss the original
purpose of the company to enter South
Dakota with their line, Bookings
being the first city in the state to re-
ceive consideration, being on an air
line west from Minneapolis. 1t was
of course the purpose of the company
to enter other cities in the state than
Bookings. Madison was early in
getting into the game, securing
promises from the officials which
were encouraging and valuable. and
since their negotiations are about
completed at Brookings they are in.
clined to make good their woId by
giving Madison next consideration.
The Electric Short Line is considered
bv men Of affairs in this city the best
railroad proposition that has beer
placed within the reach of Maids III fol
a long time. The direction FROM
which it would enter the city EN- braces
a rich country which has ia a measure
been cut off from this city bv the South
Dakota Central railway and which
could again be made tributary t.
Madison by the advent of the Electii
Short Line. Conditions are apparently
now ripe tn secure the road to this
city, and every citizen of Madison who
desires the upbuilding and prosperity
of the city, and there should be lone
other within it's limits, is in duty
bound to take hold and boost wher
the officials of the Short Line begin
their negotiations.

MISSING WIFE
Said by Husband to B Bull
Headed But Lovable

Centerville, Jan. 9.-The local po-
lice department has received a com
municiation from a young farmer
living near Beresford. whose name
has been withheld, asking aid of the
department in finding his young wife,
whom the husband charges has de-
serted him. He states in his rom
munication that he has reason to
believe his missing wife has taken
mp her abode with a farmer near
Centerville. and is going to shows
with him." He asks that in the
event this proves true that both his
wife and the farmer be arrested. He
insists that his spunky spouse had
no legitimate reason for DESERVING
him, and terms her IA bull headed
young lady with a temper of her own
but lovable withal. The case is be-
ing investigated by the local aud county
authorities, and if the evidence secured
warrants it the runaway wife and the
farmer with whom she is alleged to
have taken refuge will be arrested on
a statutory charge.

Cheaper Prices for Sirloin MOI
Portable for Some

Ames, Ia, Jan. 9.-No hope for
cheaper sirloins and beefsteaks was
held out for the by the beef
cattle experts of Iowa in attendance at
the annual convention of the Iowa Beef
Producers association. The world
shortage in beef, the passing of the
range, and the high cost of feeds will
maintain high beef prices.
Iowa farmers need not fear the free
importation of meats under the new
tariff, ut least for the immediate fu-
ture," said Dean Charles F. Curtiss.
1.-THE beef famine is worldwide. The
government is seeking to make q par
tial restoration of the ranges to provide
feeding stuff, but the ranges will never
come back fully. The beef problem
must he solved by the corn belt

CORN IMPORTATION
South American Republics Flood
the American Market

New York. Jan. 9.-Nearly 800, 600
bushels of Argentine corn are being
unlosded at this port and millions
more from the South American repub-
lie were under contract. The impor-
tations are the direct result of the re-
moval of the duty on the staple under
the recent tariff act.
More than 1000, bushels have been
received in the United States since
the tariff went into effect, the first
from the ARGENTINE ever brought
here and already the competition with
American ON has forced a decline
in cash values.
Thirteen ships are either enroate
here or loading with corr from the
Argentine, and one American manu-
featuring concern, which uses corn in
the manufacture of syrups and kin
dred products, has 5000, 900 Bushels
from that country under contract for
delivery.
When the new Argentine corr crop
ia harvested the importations will in
crease, according to trade authorities.
The corn already here found the rail
roads unprepared to handle it and the
port without adequate docking facili-
ties Arrangements to remedy the de-
6ciencies are being made by the trans
portation bureau of the produce ex-
change.
The fact that hitherto practically
no corn has ever moved west has al
SO confronted the railroads with a new
rate problem. as there is IA movement
on foot among the importers to have
the present nominal rate for western
| shipment reduced.

Civil Service Abandoned.

The breaking up of the Civil Service,
under which merit and not political
reward has been the basis Of appoint
ment for years, has become almost a
national scandal. This has been done
by a Democratic Congress with the
knowledge and approval of President
Wilson. Republican senators and rep
resentatives are astonished at the
complacency with which Mr.. Wilson is
permitting the disruption of the merit
system, built up through successive
administrations regardless of politics.
A statement by Senator Jones, of the
State of Washington, expresses the Sit
uation:
This administration came into pow
er upon positive pledge to observe
and maintain the Civil Service. 1t has
attacked that system at every oppor-
tunity by express legislative enact
ment. deputy marshals, deputy collec
tors, income tax collectors, commercial
attaches and other officers have Deen
taken out from under the Civil Ser
vice and have become a part of the
spoils of politics.
This has been done with the con-
sent and approval of the President
Attempts were made to put all post
offica ennioves and tho ayoniovar n,
the new currency system under thu
spoils system and these attempts were
frustrated only by Republican opposi
tion. In the light of their Legislative,
acts and efforts the Democratic pro
fession of devotion to the Civil Ser
vice in the conduct of the business o
the government is farce and
sham"
