BELLE FOURCHE a. n. w.
SURVEY AT iIILES CITY

Miles City Stockgrowers' Journal:
The preliminary survey of the Belle
Fourche and Northwestern railroad
was completed Saturday night, the
surveying party returning to Belle
Fourche to finish its plating within
an hour after its arrival in Miles City.
The route runs in northwester-
ly direction from the southeastern
boundary of Montana to Miles City
crossing the headwaters of the Box
Elder. swinging north to Piniele,
crossing the Powder river near Big
Pilgrim creek, the Mizpath near Oh
i've, following the Pumpkin to its
junction with the Tongue, then
down the west bank of the tongue
to Miles City.
The grade level stakes will be
placed this winter and in the spring
active grading will commence as
soon as the weather permits AL
ready there is big influx of home
steaders from South Dakota who
have the utmost faith in the promises
of the promoters that the road will
be in operation as soon as steel can
be laid.
This road will open up All i'm
mense farming section and will prove
of inestimable benefit to Miles City.
1t will undoubtedly be feeder for
the Northwestern as we'll as the
Northern Pacific, and if rumor is
right, its promoters hope in time to
tap the rich mineral fields of klaksa,
via Eagle Pass.

1t hardly seems possible that the
suggestions coming from Berlin for
division of Rumania between Russia
and the central powers can be put
forward seriously. No doubt the idea
is suggested merely as trading stock
with the entire understanding that
in any peace conference that may be
called the proposition will be thrown
out without debate.

Great Britain has backed down
gracefully from its refusal to grant
an unhindered passage to the United
States of the new Austrian ambassa-
dor. The simple recourse Of the
United States in case the refusal
were persisted in would be to send
an American warship after the new
minister. Great Britain saw the
folly of putting us to that trouble.

GONE TO FLORIDA
PASTOR OF THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH LEAVES FOR NEW
FIELDS OF LABOR.

DR.. Charles T. Alexander, after hold
ing his last service as pastor OF the
First Baptist church of this city on
Wednesday night left Thursday for
Arcadia, Fla, where he will assume
the pastorate of the First Baptist
church Mrs. Alexander accompanied
her husband.
DR.. Alexander has made many
friends during his stay in Columbia
His congregation, especially, was
grieved to see him depart for new
fields of labor. On last Sunday O peu'
ton was presented him, urging that he
remain in Columbia as the pastor Of
the Baptist church. Arrangements had
been entered into, however. with the
Arcadia church, and DR.. Alexander felt
that his duty called him to Florida
His leaving will be source of deep
regret to CoMmbians in general.

DRESS BETTER CORN SHOW ON
STATE AND NATL ISSUES.
COMMITTEE 'LECLINES OFFER
Unless Nominations For Queen Of The
Show Are Made at Once, No Election
Will be Held-People of County Have
Not Taken Sufficient Interest.

Hon. X. d. Mcclellan, democratic
nominee for the senate, will not speak
in Columbia at the Better Corn Show
on October 8. Mr. Mcclellan wrote
that he would be glad to come to Co
lumbia in case he was allowed to make
a political speech, but the committee
ia charge of the show thought that pol
itics should not interfere with the en-
joyment of the people on that date.
Mr.. McKellar's headquarters were tel
ephoned, and Mr. Mcclellan was
thanked for his acceptance, but was
informed that no political speech was
desired at the festival
Mr.. Mcclellan was to have crowned
the queen of the show, the queen to
be elected by the exhibitors and con
tributors to the festival. Since the
announcement of the committee that
the queen would be crowned, little
interest has been manifested by the
people of the county in the proposed
election. The committee have an
nounced, therefore, that, unless nomi'
nations are received at once, no queen
will be elected and no coronation cere
mony will take place. The committee
in charge are much disappointed in
the failure of the people to become
enthusiastic over the proposal
in case nominations do arrive with
in the next few days, the queen will

COUNTY AUTO FEE

SHERIFF WILL ACTIVELY ASSIST
COUNTY COURT CLERK SEEK.
ING PAYMENT.
StVtNTi STILL Owe THE FEE

Sheriff Griffin will shortly commence
to arrest all automobile owners in the
county who have not paid their county
automobile registration fee. County
Court Clerk Arch W. Lipscomb has
mailed out the final warning to the
owners that in case they do not pay
the fee they will be arrested by the
sheriff and fined in the magistrates
court.
According to the statement of Coun-
ty Court Clerk Lipscomb, notices were
mailed some time ago to the motor
car owners telling them to come into
his Office at once and pay the county
fee. Many of the owners have ap-
peared and had their cars properly
registered. Seventy, however, failed
to make their appearance. To this
number the notices were mailed.
Mr.. Lipscomb says that wholesale
arrests will follow any further attempt
ed evasion of the law. He says that
he has given the people of the county
more than ample warning, and pay
ment must be made at once. Mr.. Lips
comb says that the sheriff is actively
supporting him in his contention, and
that Mr.. Griffin will arrest the often
ders, bring them before a magistrate,
and they will be fined
Mr.. Lipscomb believes that in most
cases the automobile owners have
merely forgotten to pay their fees and
no Intentional offense is being commit
ted But he says that the second no
tees which have been mailed out will
leave no room for further forgetful-
ness, and that settlement must be
made at once, or trouble will follow.
Sheriff Griffin stated that he was
preparing to cooperate with Mr.. Lips
comb in the enforcement of the law
He said that under the recent decis-
ion of the Supreme Court of the State
the fees for the county registration Of
automobiles must be made, and his
duty demands that the law in the case
be enforced.

BOARD OF TRADE REPRESENTED
viii Send Ten Motor Cars To Spring
Hill to Accompany Pathfindsrs to
Mt. PIeasant-Large Delegation OF
Boosters Going

Great preparations are being made
for the reception of the Jackson High
way officials who will come through
Columbia in the pathfinder car on next
Monday. DR.. c. Y. Clark, Vice-Presi-
dent of the Jackson Military Highway
Association, and one of the most en-
thusiastic good roads men in the state,
will meet the members of the party in
Farnklin and will accompany them un-
til they leave Maury county.
The Board of Trade, not to be out
done by the Mt Pleasant representa-
tive, have arranged for ten automo-
biles loaded with Marry County Boos-
tiers to meet the pathfinder car at
Spring Hill. These automobiles will
accompany the officials as far as Mt.
Pleasant. The secretary of the board,
Ashley Sowell, has announced that ex-
tensive preparations are being made
for the proper reception OF the guests.
How long the visitors will remain
in Columbia is not known at the pres
ent time. The members of the Board
of Trade will seek to impress upon the
officials the desirahility of sending
the highway through Maury county.
In addition to the county owned turn
pixies, the boosters will show the visi-
tors the beauties of the county which,
they think, will be a great attraction
to tourists in case the highway is rout-
ed this way.
No definite action has been taken as
yet upon the proposal of Dr. Clark that
the road gangs of the county be put
to work on the highways over which
the pathfinders will pass. 1t is not
known whether the country people liv-
ing along the Nashville and Mt Pleas
ant pixies will work the road on First
Monday.

REPUBLICANS MAY
MOI PLACE TICKET
OUT FOR ASSEkBL !
MAY BE THAT DEMOCRATS WILL
HAVE A CLEAR FIELD IN
MAURY COUNTY.
DECISION ON NEXT MONDAY
G. o. P. Somewhat Divided Upon The
Question of the ACCESSIBILITY of Put
ting Out Complete Ticket for the
Legislature at This Time.

Whether or not there will be re-
publican ticket at all for the legisla-
ture, and if there is one who will be
the victims, are questions that are at
this time undecided. Only the conven-
ton which convenes on next Monday
at the Court House, can decide. 1t is
by no means certain that there will be
a ticket. Nor is it altogether likely
that there will be any victims.
Republicans are divided on the uues-
ton OF placing a legislative ticket in
the field, although the committee unan-
imously voted to call the convention
for Monday. Probably majority of
the Old Guard leaders of the republi,
can party, those who so successfully
directed its destinies in this county in
1910, 1912 and 1914, when it's candi-
dates for governor polled an excep-
tionally large vote, are against putting
ticket in the field There are some
of the republicans of the Bull Moose
persuasion, on the other hand, who
would rejoice greatly over complete
ticket.
Then there are some of the old line
republicans who argue that the party
in this county can never be a great
and virile organization unless the
lines are drawn from the top to the
bottom; that the only way to build UP
an organization is to make a fight all
along the line,
Republicans who are opposed to a
ticket say that there is no chance to
elect and if they did it would not
change the complexion of the legisla-
ture. That legislative fight would
simply stir things up and bring out a
bigger vote with the result that Viii
son and Rye's majorities in Maury
county would be very largely in
creased.
There has been some talk of fusion
in the county between some of the
democrats who are dissatisfied with
the legislative ticket nominated Mon.
day and the republicans. Whether or
not this will be done remains to be
iseen.
Two or three more or less prominent
Republicans are said to have indicated
that if they we're nominated they could
be induced to sacrifice themselves
upon the altar Of their country.

Although the car was small one. con-

rel for new corn" said E. j. Park, OF
the Culleoka Produce company. THAT
is the highest price that / have ever
offered in twenty years and more that
| have been engaged in buying corn.
l believe that $500 is the highest be-
fore this that we have ever paid.
Il have bought corn as low as nine
ty cents barrel or eighteen cents a
bushel. Now it is selling for about
four times that sum. Surely the farm
ers who have corn to sell and the crop
generally is good, will have no cause
to complain.
"Only by comparison can we appre-
ciate just how high corn is now.
remember when corn commenced to go
up in price l received contract from
the City Mill & Grain company to buy
at $1.75 per barrel, or just half what
we are paying now. In few days
had contracted for more than 1000
barrels. Farmers thought that was
such a good price that they sold upon
the slightest invitation. In fact, it will
probably be harder to buy corn now
at $751; than it was then at half of the
price.
Generally the corn yield is going to
be good, but the acreage is lighter
So many farmers are putting their
lands in grass that the corn acreage
has been materially reduced"
