6oiler Breaks Down.

The plant was ready to operate
at six o'clock this morning, but just
as the process of manufacturing gas
was started, serious boiler trouble
developed and a complete shutdown
was necessary Repairs were made
by nine o'clock and operations started.
At nine o'clock this morning gas was
turned into the mains again with the
iinks apparently routed.
This is the second time in six
years that tie Chickasha plant has
been entirely without gas" said Mr..
shaffer. There have been times
whcn we had poor gas owing to
trouble al the plant, but we have
kept gas in the mains all the time,
with the exception of two occasions"
Mr. Shaffer spent the night at the
plant. but stated this morning that
he figured II worth the effort just
to get the thing running again with
minimum inconvenience.

Chickasha had breakfast down town
this morning. That is those Chicka-

equipped only with gas stoves for
cooking had breakfast down town.
owing to the fact that the gas plant
was down, flat on its back and show
ing very few signs of life at seven
O'Clock.
At 9 o'clock the trouble was re-
paired, however. and the manufac-
ture Of gas started again and by $50
supply of this fuel was turned into
the mains, with siege of trouble
lasting nearly "a hours apparently
passed.

TroubIe starts Yesterdav

Although it was not generally
known, the trouble at the gas plant
started about noon yesterday when
serious stoppage developed in the
lead to the coal gas plant. The
work of repairing this trouble was
started at once, but by . o'clock
yesterday afternoon hope fell in the
well as far as any dependence in
the coal gas plant was concerned.
They then hooked up the water
gas plant, but that department OF
the plant was also inclined toward
bolshevk ideas and one trouble af-
ter another developed. The water
gas plant had not been used for six
weeks and when operations were
started, the oil pump wouldn't work.
Supply is Exhausted.
The heavy use of the gas for the
purpose Of cooking Chickasha's sup.
person exhausted the supply OF gas
in the tanks and by nine o'clock
last night, Chickasha was without
gas.
BY ten o'clock however, things
were running again, but f. d. Shaf-
fer manager of the plant, would not
turn the gas into the mains for the
reason that he was afraid some Of
the customers had left their stoves
turned on. Asphyxation was feared
and the plan was to turn the gas
into the mains at seven O'clock this
morning

DEMOCRATS TAKE THIRD
PLACE IN STATE NOW

The non-partisan league of
South Dakota is now the minority
party in the state. According to
the Richards primary law, which
the voters of the state failed to
repeal, the party receiving the
greatest number of votes at a gen
eral election becomes the major
ity party and the one receiveing
the second greatest number OF
votes becomes the minority party.
Both are governed accordingly by
the primary law. A practically
complete count of the state vote
shows that w. w. Howes, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, re-
ceived smaller number of votes
than did M. P. Bates, league cam
didate, while Tom Ayers, league
candidate for United States SEN
ator, polled a larger vote than u.
S. G. Cherry, his dmocratic oppon-
ent. In 1922, then, when the next
state election is held the league
candidate for governor and the re-
publican candidate for governor
will hold the center of the stage
to the exclusion of the democrat
ic aspirant.

OUR NEICHBORS NOT PLEASED

Pennington county voted down
the division proposition by a
rood majority. On the other hand
it voted to build a new half mil
lion dollar court house at Rapid
City by somewhat smaller major
ity. Naturally this outcome is not
very pleasant to some of our neig-
hbors just across the county line
to the west. Folks in he neigth-
borhood of Wall and Quinn had
expected to be set off as Howard
county and do their own court
house building, hut instead they
get to contribute to a new court
house at Rapid City seventy-five
miles away. This is the way the
somewhat disgruntled Quinn Cour-
ant sizes the situation up:
Thanks to the beneficient thot
fullness of Rapid City, we are to
remain a part of Pennington
county for at least two years more
and also to have the great privi-
lege of contributing to that half
million county palace. There were
two classes, according to their
testimony, who opposed division,
in Rapid City. One class because
division would be bad for us. 1t
would cost us more, just as tho
we had not considered the matter
and knew what we wanted. The
others were honest. They came
out boldly and admitted they OPP
posed division because they want
ed to milk this end of the county
as long as they could, regardless
of our interests and inconvenien-
ces. One can have a sort. of ad-
miration for the bold robber, but
only contempt for the hypocritical
sneak theft, where one is obliged
to place the Rapid City voter who
pretended to vote against county
division in our interest. Why not
Tell the Truth and shame the
Devel.' Why no admit that Ra-
pid City's vote against division is
Just what it is: the essence of dou-
bic distilled selfishness."

THE FARM BUREAU MEETINGS

An attensive campaign is being
held by the farm bureau of Haa-
kon county this week for new me-
mbers and renewal of old ones.
As a part Of the plan oyster sup
.pers are being held in various
parts of the county, turkey dim
ners and that sort Of thing. The
campaigns has been very successful
The table comforts have been up
to the top notch, and good many
new members have enrolled. Tho
the camjaign is not yet complete
those in charge express themselves
as very we'll satisfied with the re-
suits.
The Pioneer-Review believes firm
ly in several things, and although
no one has asked us to air our
views, we propose to do SO right
in this connection. For reasons,
not all clearly understood, most
ly growing out of the war, and
which we shall not now stop to
discuss, the farming and ranching
interests of the country are fac
ing a crisis. Unless intelligence
unites and guides these interests
ruin i'll come upon them just that.

M. p. Kennedy, county auditor of
the county, was among those con-
victed of keeping intoxicating IL
quors unlawfully. The case was
hotly contested and an effort will
be made to obtain a new trial.
An important case which had
not been decided at last accounts
was the suit of John Holland a.

er get relief from politicians for
what ails us anyway. The farmer
must save himself, in Haakon
county, and everywhere, by econo-
mic, not political action. The
farm bureau Is our present best
hope Already in d few brief years
it has accomplished more for the
Farmer than the politicians have
in fifty We ars. It's ND to the far
uers to decide whether they will
unite and pr sper. or go it eacn

individual sentiment, and we

A rebuttal Oh Henry Kramer's
proposition that each lawn in the
city be fenced with uniform or
nament throughout was made to-
day by Edward n. Lundberg. Mr..
Runners idea Of an iron fence or
concrete wall is not new. according
TO Mr.. Lundberg, who says that 1t
dates back to the day when every
mans home was his castle and
every city had wall around it.
Mr.. Lundberg suggests In
stead Of the proposed fence, that
shrubbery and flowers be planted
to complete. the picture. However.
with the shrubbery it is not the
original cost but the upkeep.
While writing on plans, Mr..
Lundberg jotted down the idea OF
having fruit and nut trees in the
boulevards, which will give US an
other source of foodstuffs. Mr..
Lundberg says that this may be
looking too far ahead, but he feels
confident that some time It will
come. To Offset the argument that
children may bother the trees
when they are new, Mr. Lundberg
says that If they were planted in
every street, the children would
not think so much of it and would
Not bother them.
Mr.. Lundberg failed to explain
Just what should be done about a
bridge at the mouth of Rock river,
but stated that it should not be
forgotten. He says:
The idea of an iron fence or
