BRAKEMAN BATTLES BANDIT ON
SMOKER ON TRAIN AT
SIOUX FALLS

Sioux Falls, Dec. 29.-Courage
and quick action by Alex Porter,
brakeman, saved about $50 passen-
gers from being held up about eight
O'Clock last night just outside the
city limits of Hawarden, Ia, when a
masked man on the Milwaukee train

bule of the smoker and ordered him
to put up his hands.
The bandit had boarded the train
at Hawarden with ticket to Hud-

walking through the train and had
just opened the door of the smoker
when the stranger poked a gun in
his face.
Stick 'em up and pull the rope"
he ordered.
Porter put one hand in his pocket
to get his money and reached for
the whistle rope with the other. Aft
er giving the stop signal he brought
his fist down sharply and knocked
the man to the floor, partly pulling
the white handkerchief off and
bringing blood to the assailants face.
Recovering from the smarting
blow, the desperate fired at Porter
from sitting position but the bullet
missed by small margin and plow-

death if he didn't get off.
The two men had no choice but to
comply and the man then forced Por-
ter, at the point of his revolver, to
open the vestibule door and back off,
Covering all of his victims he then
stepped off himself and disappeared
into the weeds followed by passen-

PRIMARY TANCLES
HARD To UNRAvEL
MAJORITY CANDIDATES MAY NOT
HAVE TO GO INTO AN
OTHER CONTEST

Pierre, Dec. 29.-As the time for
the holding of the county proposal
meetings draw near, for the selection
of candidates for county positions,
the question has been raised as to
the proper construction of Section
7107 of the law, where it provides
that the majority and minority shall
make their selections for such places.
The question raised is whether or not
1t requires a majority vote of the
convention to nominate, or whether
a plurality selection will hold good.
With the failure of any minority
to file tickets under any of the party
organizations, there will be no pri-
mary held in March so far as the
state officials are concerned, the law
providing that where there are no
minority of independent candidates
filed, the selections of the state pro-
posal meetings shall be deemed the
nominees for the November election.
AS the matter stands now, there need
not be primary so far as the state
officers are concerned, unless some
one files as an independent candi-
date for state position and such in
dividuals stands in the light of hav-
ing forced the primary when with
out his filing 1t would not be neces-
sary. OF course the way is open for
anyone to make such filing, but with
out 1t there would be no primary on
state officials.

Gold Mine To
Resume Operations

Deadwood, Dec. 20. President
James D. Hardin, of the Golden Crest
Mining company comes forth today
with the news for the people of this
section that the mine and mill will
resume full operation almost imme-
diately. This company owns over
400 acres of the best proven mining
property in the Black Hills. Expert
mining engineers claim that there Is
over $3,000.000 worth of $40 per ton
ore now in sight. A new stamp mill
modernly equipped has just been
completed at cost of 100000. The
main shaft Is now $50 feet deep and
the new developments include over
mile of tunneling. The resumption
of operations of this property means
an additional payroll of from $4,000
to $4,000 per month to say nothing
of the profits of the mine.

INGENIOUS METHOD
BEATS LOW CORN PRICE by
MARKETING FINISHED
PRODUCT

Gregory, Dec. 29.-The low price
of grain and corn does not worry
Peter ePterson, a farmer living in
the Happy Hollow district of the
Rosebud country, in south-central
South Dabota. BY the exercise of a
little ingenuity he has discovered a
method of receiving fair price for
hsi grain and corn-a price which
pays him a profit. He markets the
manufactured product. If he mar
keted the grain and corn itself he
would be selling at loss.
Wheat is bringing little more than
so cents per bushel at the market
towns within reach of the Happy
Hollow district, and to get his grain
and corn hauled to these market
points would have cost Peterson at
least twenty-five cents per bushel,
which would have left him a sum of
from twenty-five to thirty-five cents
per bushel for his crop.
Out of this he would he required
to pay the cost of seeding. harvesting
and threshing, to say nothing of rent
labor and a profit for himself.
But, as stated, Peterson is not wor
rying. Some time ago he purchased
small flour mill, which he has at
tached to the engine which pumps
the water for his livestock and for
household purposes. BY this means
he grinds flour, corn meal, etc., ev-
cry day while the engine is in op-
Grafton pumping water for his live
stock.
He sells this flour and corn meal
to consumers living in the neighbor-
hood at two cents per pound, and by
this method of manufacturing and
selling the flour and meal he is real
izing 81 per bushel for his wheat
rye and corn.
Peterson reports that he has more

product that he can supply.

ATTACKS RAILROADS
LINES ACCUSED OF TRYING TO
INFLUENCE FARMERS
LEADERS

Washington, Dec. 29.-Charges
were made by Senator La Fa Toilette
of Wisconsin, in a statement that
representatives of railroads and of
the coal, steel and lumber interests
at Secret meeting here December
ganizations' leaders, and did obtain
from some such leaders, adherence to
an agreement not to push legislation
to repeal the commonly called guar
anty section from the transportation
act and to restore state control of
state rates.
He made his charges in elabOrat-
ing on his assertion "that plan is
afoot to perpetuate the fundamental
provisions of the transportation act,
embodied in section 15A the guaran-
ty section of which a portion ex-
pires March 1, and to render perman-
ent the intorehable conditions which
have made the transportation system
for the past two years an instru-
ment for the exploitation of the
American people,"
In substantiation of his charges
Mr.. La Toilette made public what
he described as brief report of
the action of the conference "held
here December 9" which he branded
"as a conspiracy to betray not only
the farmers but the consuming and
the producing millions of the ma
tion."
This report was made public by
the senator without an explanation
of its source.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The bells
that ring in 1922 will usher in a
business revival that will develop in
due course into a new era of prosper

fident prediction was made today by
w. P. Harding, governor of the fed

passed through the primary stage,
the acute period of reaction, he said,
summing up his observations. 1t is
my sober conviction that basic fin

ago. There are many indications
that the beginning of revival cycle
is not far distant. When it does de-
finitely set in it will be followed in
due course by new era of prosper

NEARLY BILLION
TO SEE MOVIES
ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST
TARIFF ON FILMS REVEAL
INTERESTING FIGURES

Washington, Dec. 29.-The Ameri-
can people spend from s750,000, 600
to one billion dollars year to see
motion picture shows, the senate fin
ance committee was told yesterday
in arguments for and against a high
tariff on foreign made pictures. The
investment in the industry totals
abount $25O,000,00O and employ
ment given to about $50, 900 persons.
Paul M. Turner, of New York,
speaking for the actors equity asso-
citation, testified that the idea that
everybody connected with the indus
try made "big money" was errone-
Gus; that SO per cent of those engag-
ed in making films received only "a
living wage"
He and John Emerson, an inde-
pendent producer of New York,
speaking for himself and for d. w.
Griffith, urged duty on imported
films of from so to so per cent ad
valorem in place of the 80 per cent
in the Fordney bill.
Declaring that only a high tariff
stood between the industry and ex-
termination. Mr.. Turner declared
that at this time fifty-four German
made pictures were being exhibited
in this country and that four or five
had yielded the exhibitors $780,
600. American producers cannot
compete with the Germans. he said,
adding that pictures which cost from
100000 to 100000 to produce in
this country could be made in Ger
many for from $4,000 to $4,000.
