ELECTION CONTEST
STARTED BY AXTELL

Because of the fact that the
official canvas of the vote on
the sheriff's office of Perkins
county showed that Rocks had a
slight lead of five votes, and be-
cause of irregularities in several
of the voting precincts Of the
county, A. A. Axtell, present
sheriff of the county and candi-
date for reelection on the DEM
ocratlc ticket, after considerable
urging by his political friends,
consented to contest the elec-
tion. Papers were served the
later part of last week and a
hearing will be held within a
short time.
That a recount would show
that Axtell had won over Rocks
by small majority is the sin
cere belief of Axtell's hackers
and they believe that there is
sufficient grounds to secure an
order from the court to hold a
recount.
That the chances of Axtell's
winning in a contest are very
good is conceded by republican
leaders.
Reports from several of the
precincts in the county lend aid
to the belief that there were
gross errors made in the count
of the vote by election judges
because of the fact that many
of them were not acquainted
with the 1915 election laws.
While the democrats do not
contend that there were any
crooked acts committed byI
the republicans, they are sincere
in their belief that enough votes
were cast for Axtell to win for
him over his republican oppo-
nent Rocks.

During the past two years,
quite a large number of progres-
sive farmers Of the Lennon ter
itory have commenced the cul-
tivation of corn and it has
proven to be a very successful
crop. The yields and quality OF
the corn raised is beyond ques-
ton equal to that Of the social
ed corn districts, and Western
Dakota will in a short time be
receiving the consideration due
her as corn center.
1t has been the contention OF
the greater share of the farmers
of the territory that it would be
impossible to successfully raise
corn here because it was SO Tar

optimistic of our farmers decid-

WORK COMMENCED
ON CITY STREETS

J. w. Heltzell, who was award
ed the contract to fill and grade
the Main street of the city has
a force of workmen at work ard
during the past week, hundreds
of loads of dirt and sand have
been hauled to the street.
The Main street of the city
has always been a big problem
to wrestle with and it has been
problematical as to what method
should be adopted in an effort
to give the street good sur
face. Considerable talk Of ma
cadamizing or paving was in
dulged in but the greater por-
tion of the citizens of the city
seemed inclined to think that
the expense was prohibitive and
therefore it was necessary to
find some cheaper method.
The filling of the street will
in all probability serve as a
temporary relief from the now
impo 3sible condition but in the
opinion of the Herald, it will be
impossible to build a permanent
roadway that is serviceable at
all times, from gumbo.
Next season great strides will
be made in the improvements
of the city, cement crossings
and sidewalks being planned on
all the streets of the city. Sew
eral proposed fireproof build
ings will in all probability also
materialize and the activities
ings will in all probability also

says farmers in these districts,
due to the high prices Of wheat,
are enjoying the greatest pros
perity Of their history. High
wheat prices the past two years
have resulted in the fall plow-
