OFFER
TO NOMINATE GEO.. w,
WRIGHT FOR COVE RNOR
Though Not an Aspirant He May
Decide to Accept and Make
Active Campaign.

Mitchell, s. D, July 1a.-Pcogressive
party workers here have neer advised
that the executive committee OF the
party has fixed upon Senator George
w. Wright, of Huron, as a candidate
for governor, and that Il formal tender
of the nomination has been made 20
hir1.
Senator Wright, from tho first, has
been one OF the active workers in the
new party movement, but has objected
to accepting any nomination. In the
carly stages of the organization work
he was urged to take the nomination
for governor, but declined 10 consider
the proposition.
At the present time the prospect is
said to be that Senator Wright will re-
spond to pressure from the committee.
and from various independent sources,
and will accept the nomination. He
has stated that he will accept if the
selection meets with the general ap-
proval OF progressives throughout the
state. The committee has no doubt of
being able to convince him on that
point. Expressions are being request
ed from various localities and it now
seems quite certain that the nominal
ton OF Senator Wright will be unani-
mously approved.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 21.-The l.. w.
W. situation is quiet here today. All
the men arrested Saturday night have
been realised except a half dozen of
the leaders who will be given a hearing
tomorrow.
The attitude of the authorities toward
the men is arousing considerable crit
icism. The states attorney and a
special officer visited Bath Sunday
evening and attempted to drive 200 men
out Of that town. A number Of the
men, in running from the officers, went
onto property owned by Constable
Stickney and he told them to stay there
as they We're violating no law. The
officers attempted to drive them off
and Stickney interfered. He told them
unless they had a warrant the men
would stay where they were. When
the officers insisted Stickney drew two
guns and held them at bay.
These men deny that they are affili-
ated with the /. w. w. They say the
agitators Of that order kept following
them up and they cannot get ride of

SOUTH DAkOTANS MAY BUILD
CORN PALACE AT FRISCO SHOW

Mitchell. S. D.. July "a corr
palace, fashioned upon lines similar
to the famous Mitchell corn palace
may be the feature of the proposed
South Dakota exhibit at the Panama
exposition in San Francisco next year.
Succeeding the appointment last
Thursday by Gov. Frank M, Byrne, OF
a voluntary commission to decide as
to the showing and arrangement of q
possible state exhibit. it was revealed
that plans concerning the proposed ex-
hibit included consideration of the
erection Of a corn palace as the official
state building. The expense of such a
structure would be far less than thai
of one designed along customary lines
For this reason, the adoption of this
feature for an exhibit is deemed es-
specially advisable. inasmuch as the
state legislature refused to appropriate
funds for the expense of an exhibit,
The cooperation of several state COM
mereial clubs has been assured for
support of the state exhibit project.

SOUTH DAkoTAN PERFEcTs
EDISON'S HOUSE SCHEME

Mitchell. S. D., July 1S.-Thomas
Edison's famous theory about q cheap
way to construct concrete houses has
been worked out by a Mitchell man,
II. T. Frost. This city claims the
distinction of possessing the only house
IN the United States constructed by
means OF a set of concrete forms.
Mr.. Frost has invented a sysem of
frames that can be handled easily and
at the same time have the advantage Of
leaving a continuous dead air space in
the middle of the wall. This advantage
in itself is a great feature IN that i.
eliminates the nuisance and danger Of
moisture, sweat and frost getting into
the walls of the house, which caused
the failure of the Edison invention.
The Mitchell inventor has obtained
a patent upon a set of forms which
builds a hollow wall, reinforced hori-
zontally, perpendicularly and also ties
the walls together. AT the same time
the forms can be adjusted to build any
size house, make n thickness of wall
and also leave the door and window
openings any size.
1t is upon these lines that Mr.. Frost's
residence in Mitchell has oeen con-
structed and the place is now ready for

Washington. July 21.-Though the
Interstate Commerce commission is in
conference today, still wrestling with
the advanced rate case, a decision is
expected this week.
While many rulnors are current con-
corning the decision, some of them alb
surd, the best information is the COM
mission will recognize that railroad
revenues are inadequate.
Some increases on class rates are ex-
pected n the commission will read
the roads a lecture on economy. If the
inadequency of the railroad
Is recognized. as appears probable, this
will be a partial railroad victory.
Commissioners Thorne, for western
Shippers. has steadfastly contended and
ably demonstrated that the
are adequate. Once the commission
holds otherwise, shippers and the pub
lie will be confronted with the pros.
pect of sure increases in freight bills
though the process of boosting taern
may be gradual.

this week viii vigorously continue their

daily rat catch of about 1000 will be
increased before the end of the week,
as additional traps are being placed
and the force at work in the field is
becoming more expert under h tutel-
age of a corps of rat catchers from San
