In letter to c. G.. Bockus ]. Clay
ton Nichols tells of visit which he
had recently paid to the San Carlos
plantation on Occidental Negros, Phi
lippine Islands. In this letter he says
in part: -

die and they were on pins and needles
for month until it gave out They
got a propeller crankshaft from some
ship in Hongkong that was the right
length but lie bic. This was easily
fixed and the shaft was received three
days after the final break Some peo-
pie around San Carlos were talking
OF losing the whole crop but ] think
Bell would have been able 20 fix up
the old shaft il he had not been able

the manager of the Engels company
states that negotiations have been
completed with the Western Pacific
for connecting line. It is impossible
to estimate the cost very closely until
bids for construction have been receiv-
ed. but it will probably require $780,
600 to $950,009, of which S14O.0 has
been deposited from the sale OF stock
and it is hoped the balance can be
paid from earnings of the copper COM
pany in addition to payment of II per
cent dividends. = ..-a..ss ~
The company is now turning out
coo tons of SO per cent concentrates

rates and smelter charges of from
$4,000 to 100000 with monthly ex-
penditures of about $4,000, leaving a
net of from $4,000 to $50 900.
1t is reported on the street here
today that sales of Engels Copper in

G. 0. ?. PRECINCT
CLUBS TO START
EARLY CAMP Align
Biennial Elections to Be Held
But Little Interest So Far
Manifested +.

Tomorrow night the. fall campaign
for the legislative offices gets an
early start Republican precinct clubs
throughout the territory will hold
meetings for the nomination of Off
GERS and of delegates to the territorial
convention to be held in Honolulu
July u. There are 90 precincts on
this island and Al in the territory. 2
IS the party,s platform will be built
by the convention and its leader for
the next two years named, the per-
sonnet of the convention is important.
Yet there seems to be no general in
terest in the meetings tomorrow night
and it appears to be the consensus of
opinion among the club officers inter-
viewed that they will pass off peace
ably, with no attempt to buck the reg
ular ticket
So far as could be learned no oppo-
sition to Lorrin Andrews, present
chairman of the territorial central
committee, has developed and he may
be retained In office for another two
years.
A slight conflict may develop in a
few of the precincts, those who are
familiar with political affairs feel, but
there will be no shot fight" and the
majority of the clubs will nominate
but one slate, to be voted on and
elected, 1t is believed.
Besides the officers and territorial
committeeman to be nominated and
elected each club is to choose a county
committeeman in September. A meet
ing of the county committees will be
held on the same day as the terrific
rial convention in each county seat

owing to frost & other reasons opera

be open for traffic by fall. The barn
on the Schlinger place, an old land
mark which was built by Geo. j.
Schlinger 40 years ago, to take the
place of one struck by lightning is
being demolished as the road is sur

suggested that the new road be named
Sehlinger Avenue in honor of Michael
Schlinger as the longest stretch and
most land came from his property.

TECHNICAL DEFENSE NOW
iNTE SPCsED FOR O. w. LANE

Watertown. S. D., Aug. 1S.-After
pleading guilty and receiving sentence.
Of four years on the charge of en-
bezzlement, former City Auditor O. M.
Lane asked for a stay of sentence and
served notice Of appeal. The bond was.
fixed at Sc, 900, and efforts are now be-
ing made to get bondsmen. The APP
peal is based on the contention that
the Watertown city government had
no legal organization during the COM
mission form, therefore there could
have been no embezzlement. A guilty
plea was entered to the specific charge.
Of appropriating $1,337.35 in warrants
paid to the city by the county FROM
March / to March Is. 1916. !
Examination Of Watertown's records,
by h state public accountant dis
closed that Lane had submitted to the
city commissioners bills for suppliesi
which had never been ordered or re-,
ceived or that when paymen was au-'
thorized he drew warrants and had,
them cashed.
Lane was automatically removed
from office last spring when Water-I
town changed from the city commis-|
sion to the aldermanic plan of govern
ment. Shortly after his retirement att
WATERFOWL he vas appointed register
OF the United States land office at

COURT RULES AGAINST
DEADWooD'S CLUB BAR
Ruse For Dispensing Liquor on
Sunday and After Hours
Now Under Ban.

.,eadwood. s.. D., Aug. 1S.--Iudse
Levi MCGEE has rendered a decision IN
the case of the State VS.. The Deadwood
Business Mems club, holding that the
club has no right to sell liquor ana
giving an order restraining the cluo
from selling liquor.
The case was started by Il. n. fiol-
saple. who came out here last spring
and tried to get the mayor to enforce.
the law and close this club, as We'll aS
other clubs, but was told by the mayor
that he would enforce what laws hf
chose. He absolutely refused TO close
these blind pigs and said the peoplea
wanted them to run. 49,.
Mr.. Holsaple took the matter up wlthl
the attorney general and that offlclal
started the case, assisted by States At
torney Stirrett. t
The defense argued that the club was
not an Incorporated body and that
LIQUOR furnished to members was not
to De considered as sold within the
meaning of the law. Judge MCGEE cid
that the state is normally under prom
bition until certain requirements nave
been met and that until the club AXE
out Il retail license, liquor cannot be
sold.
The club was enjoined from making
further sales of liquor. The effect OF.
his decision will be to close the bars,
of other clubs conducted on Similar
ines to the one against which action
was taken.
