The Rapid City Banquet
and Sleeping Cars

TO the Editor of the Review
The Rapid City newspapers ar,
advising us under somewhat ex
aggerated headlines that might
service soon will resume on the
Pierre division of the North.
western 1t seems that Alec
johnson, one of the Chicago Of
ticials of the Northwestern, has
been saying things. In fact, he
has been talking at Rapid
City gabfest.
This is not to be charged up
against Mr.. johnson. As rule
he is a well-behaved citizen and
a first rate railroad man, but. in
an evil hoalr, the other day,
while he was out airing his pri
vate car in the Hills, he fell
into the hands of the Rapid
City bunch. AS a rule Mr.. John
son doesn't train with fellows
like Harry Candy. Judge Me
Gee and George Jeffers, but
they saw him f.nst. and. as all
avenues of escape were effect
ually blocked, the genial gentle
man from Chicago evidently de-
cided to make the best of II
bad situation.
The Rapid City bunch pro
eeeded to give the Chicago Of
ficiaa banquet. George Jeffers
and Bill Soule did lot of talk
ing, of course. And then when
the banquet had worked along
to the very amiable stage. Judge
McGee arose, and. contrary to
ms usual custom. told "A story.
Judging solely from the repol
given in the Daily Journal. the
point of the Judges story is
not very evident. But l have
noticed that there are times
when almost anything will seem
funny and when everybody will
laugh. Likely everyone present
felt like laughing; and likely
everyone did laugh.
After the story the Judge pro-
ceeded to make the following re-
cord: "Reyelting to train SER
vices Judge McGee said that
he used to feel pretty good ON
going down to the station and
seeing a Pullman sleeper ON the
train; that he would like to
again see the train leaving i'm
the evening instead of the morn
ing as it used to be.

there is breath in my body will

Rapid City, hut we would like
10 suggest that there are people
down this way-pretty good sort
Of Folks tOO--whO never ride ON
sleeping cars yet they do ride
N day trains and are much ac-
romndated by the present day
service. There isn't a conductor
or other train man on this divis-
ION who wild not tell you that
the traffic lis heavier since the
day trains have been put ON
than it has been for five years
Yet the service is to be changed
badk to schedule that give,
this locality both of its passem-
ger trains in the middle Of the
night. Fine consideration this fol
our convenience. Fine considera-
tion it is for anything except the
cIamor of the few at Rapid
City and Deadwood who like
Judge McGee want to ride on
sleeping cars.
1t may not be out of place,
to remark that this thirst
for sleeping cars is largely.
a cultivated and art-
fetal thirst. We must have them
not because they contribute to
our happiness, but because they
contribute much to our vanity,
because 1T is the genteel and aris
tocratic thing to ride on them. SO
a great railroad system frames
its schedules to meet the desires
OF the people who want sleep
ing cars. What consideration
does the commDn traveller get?
Precious little when his wishes
come i'm conflict with those of
the man in the sleeping car. The
man i'm the sleeping car hollers,
and hollers effectively, il his
whims are not ministered to, but
the common man beers his bur
dens without complaining. 1t
will not always be SO. Transport
alton systems will not always be
organized for the convenience of
people who sleep in sleeping cars
If this be treason, or socialism,
or the single-tax, or any other
reprehensible thing. Judge Nc
Gee and Mr.. johnson can make
the most of it.
But consider the Irony of the
situation. Here, Judge McGee
comes forward as the champion
# the privileged few who ride
in sleeping cars. Without any
consideration whether the writer
and his neighbors are to catch
their train at noon or midnight,
he demands the convenience of
a sleeping car leaving his town
n the evening. Then he needs
not look out upon our humble
little burg. He can mooze peace
fully unth the black African
wakes him IN the morning. You
could eaaiay imagine that the
Judge had been used to sleep
ing cars and ike luxuries ell his

TRANSFERRING COMPLETED
AT LOW COST

The transcribing of records fol
liaakDn county was completed 9
couple of weeks ago and the
looks delivered to the offices in
which they belong. Warrants
lave been issued to the contract
ols for the work, and we find
upon investigation that $40, ,366.
30 was the amount paid for the
work. This is an exceptionally
small amount considering the
amount Of decided land, and the
numerous trasfers that incumbel
Tine records. That the work cOuId
be done at this price is "a matter
Of congatulation for the board
O. commissioners, who went al
the work of contracting in a
very business like manner.
1t will be remembered that
during the division campaign all
sorts of figures were quoted as
to the possible cost of tlanscrib-
ing. We did not hear anyone
figure it at less than $l5, 900,
and heard some estimate it as
high as $4,000.
All Of the contractors did ex-
ceptipnally good work, furnish
ing the new county with books
that are most legibe. This is
especially TRUE Of the transcripts
for the register Of deeds office,
which number fiftythree volume,
The figure qnoted,by the wayl
includes also the amounts paid
to the book houses for the re-
cord books.

S. R. THOMPSON BADLY
HURT BY PIECE STEEL
WHILE ABOARD COMBINE
WELL KNOWN FARMER AT HOS
PITAL WITH CRACKED
SKULL; DROVE TO
TOWN ALONE.

Struck by a piece OF flying steel
while aboard his combined harvester
yesterday afternoon, Sam r. Thomp-
son. well known local farmer and
Roundup director sustained a frac-
ture Of the skull and other painful
injuries He is at st. Anthony's hos
pital now and physicians report his
condition improved today
The flying steel, coming loose from
some part OF the machinery struck
him just above right ear and knock
ed him from the top Of the combine
underneath the heels of the mules. In
falling he sustained an ugly wound
on the arm and painful bruise on
his back. Thinking that his injuries
were slight. he got into his auto and
drove back to Pendleton from his Wild
Horse ranch. An examination by the
physicians showed that the skull bone
had been fractured The wound was
cleaned out and four stitches taken to
close It.
Last night about 10 o'clock his con-
dition took a rather alarming turn
and he was rushed to the hospital
where the wound was reopened and
a clot Of blood removed The doctors
hope that an operation will not be
necessary.

danger from forest fires is again con-
fronting the forest officials and su
pervisor W. W. Crydsr of the Una
tilla reserve has his force well organ
lied to combat any fires that break
out. SO far this season only one
small fire has been discovered in the
reserve. II was In the western divl-
sion and was put out before any ma
terial damage was done.
With the aid of the observers on
Lookout and Tamarack mountains,
and the telephone connections, the
supervisor believes fires can now be
combatted before they get much of a
start. The observers took their
posts on July and from their lofty
stations command view of the whole

SKAMANIA BONDS TO
BE SOLD IN PORTLAND

PORTLAND. Ore. July 22.-ska-
mania county, Washington today
completed the financial arrangements
that will result in the hardgurfacing
Of highway on the north bank of
the Columbia river from the Clark
county line to the Kliekitat boundary
The 100000 bond issue recently vot-
ed by the people was awarded 20 the
Lumbermen's Trust company OF
Portland, at premium of s17je. plus
accrued interest and expenses
These bonds will bear 5 l-2 per
cent and will mature serially in from
II to 20 years. The transaction was
negotiated by Camp. secretary Of the
trust company. in the presence of a
number of representatives of outside
bond houses. The Portland company
was given preference because Ska
mania considers itself just as much
a part of the Portland district as
the counties along the south bank.
As soon as the validity Of the
bonds have been tested, so tie coun-
" may realize the actual funds. work
on the highway will begin. This. Il
is believed, will be early the coming
month.
Skamania county. though OF small
comparative population and with
much of its territory taken up with
non-taxed government lands. has
undertaken the bond issue at this
time because the people realize that
the territory requires easy transpor-
tation to secure development.
The highway will connect up the
roads of Clarke county with Samuel
Hills road construction in the Mary
hill district.
