The Plantation
Special Fails
To Leave North
Southern Planters Agent Won't {
Celebrate Xmas With Return
of Cotton Pickers.

The Plantation Special" sched-
uled to leave Chicago over the Iili-
nois Central railroad Sunday after
noon for a long journey to Rosedale,
Miss, "eollided" with the Great
Northern Special" in the 18th st. sta
ton and was completely wrecked.
The plantation train, born in the
brain of G.. w. Harding, a white
planter representing the backwoods-
men Of Mississippi, conceived the idea
that there were thousand of our peo-
pie in Chicago praying to get back to
the cotton fields Of the South.
He planned a wholesale raid of the
South Side, and set his machinery in
motion with the aid of Richard E.
Parker, editor Of a now and then"
newspaper, and Clarence Powers.
Headquarters were established at
Golden Star employment office. 3233
State st.
Harding had been duped to believe
that 800 families would leave with
him to the first train South. In
stead his hopes were wrecked when
he stood at the station and greeted
only IL subjects ranging in age from
46 to 72 years. He was disgusted.
R. J. Carmichel, assistant passenger
agent of the Illinois Central, stood
close by.
Not enough" he remarked to
Harding. I'VE can't give you any re-
duction.
Just at this moment a giant loco
motive steamed slowly by and
stopped.
Three coaches crammed with dark
people that came all the way from
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee
hoped out burdened with luggage
and filed by Harding. He deserted
his ragged followers and escape to
a Loop hotel. Parker, his handy
man, gave the Harding bunch word
to return at 5 o'clock and added that
each should bring friend along"
When the hour arrived a few ragged
strangers appeared and Harding.
rather than go empty-handed, took
them along. What he will do with
them is problematical.
Harding apparently came to Chi
cago under misguided influence. His
money was long, but his judgment
short. He scattered 5000 hand bills
on the South Side and augmented
this appeal by sending out a wagon
heavily placarded with signs describe
ing the glory of the cotton field and
the Sunny South. He told his lis
teners (those who had nothing else
to do) how the Southern white man
had changed; that the hand that
once held the lyncher's rope and the
mob's torch had been replaced by
angels wings; how the law" had
reformed and would function with
out regard to color. But his host
could not see 1t that way.
Citizens throughout the South Side
marveled at Harding's colossal nerve
and wondered how the city would
permit him to come here as a labor
agent when in the South men are
thrown in Jail and even murdered for
such practices. The Illinois law per-
mits slave driving Southern planta-
tion owners to canvass its territory
in search Of prey without the slight
est molestation, while in Mississippi
a decent and respectable Northerner
rounding up labor there would be
slain on sight.

PARKING STALLS ON
BUSINESS
HOLD ONE SOLUTION

A city ordinance would of course
be passed requiring motorists by
law to keep within the limit Of the
marked sections. and making viola.
ton of this ordinance a regular
breach of traffic regulations and
therefore subject to the jurisdiction
OF the police court.
Between the hours OF II noon and
100 p. m. and 500 D. m. and e:OO D.
m the business district on Center
street from Midwest avenue to First
street. and on Second street from
David to Wolcott streets shall be
known as a restricted parking dis.
trlct. and no vehicle of n kind
be allowed to park within that
section for a longer period than
fifteen minutes. Officers would be
given the duty OF watching the
length of parking time during the
restricted hours. and making arrests
for traffic violations accordingly.
This plan comes merely in the
form of a suggestion from the Trib-
n but It is hoped that in the very
near future the lawmakers of the
city will see their way clear to give
this matter consideration, Remem.

lions as we find them now. we arc
unable to point fully with pride and
confidence. But. at the outset let
us be candid with ourselves and re-
joice because the producer has pro.
ouced more and will as n general
rule receive moro for his product
than he did in the previous year:
therefore, while the alarm rings. be

Live Stock.
Live stock interests continue to
command the most intense thought
of the grower and the banker. The
grower is optimistic, even TO the ex-
tent of seeing feed where there il
none, or making himself believe that
an animal Will live always. whether
or not the season is propitious;
while the banker entertains the hope
that the storms OF winter will be
tempered to the shorn sheep or the
non-sheltered cow; that the loss will
not exceed the normal nv per cent
and that there will be n hundred
per cent increase.
THE wool grower has generally
been quite successful during the
year and as we say in the business
slang OF the day. 'he has come
back" He. however. is not free of
entangling and vexatious situations.
There is danger of a modification of
the tariff schedule, low prices of
wool and lambs, a severe winter and
possible short feed. There are these
disturbing elements. but where the
grower handles his sheep carefully
and in a business-lil5e way. he is al
most certain Of being profted.
The cattle grower has not ad-
vanced very far ahead of his posi-
ton of n year ago. Cattle have had
plenty to eat since spring time-are
in good flesh, and fat, heavy stuff
seems to be commanding fair
prices, while cows and thin or small
stuff generally net less on the mar
ket than they are valued at on the
range.

BY SPARK PLUG.

In an article published in yester.
days Tribune reason for a radical
reform in Casper's present indefinite
system of parking were made evil
dent through comparison and expe.
rience. To facilitate the handling
OF the parking situation. the follow
ing plan is suggested by tho Trib-
une.
In view of the fact that parking
Of motor vehicles at IN angle OF
IS degrees on the downtown streets.
instead of at the present angie OF
go or more, would greatly reduce
the number of minor accidents re-
sulting from careless backing out
from parking position, the Tribune's
suggestion deals primarily with
bringing this condSSon about.
Last year. at about this time, a
movement was put on foot TO mark
upon the downtown pavement park
ing stalls. so to speak. at an angle
Of as degrees with the curb. This
plan was never carried through.
Community pride demands a reform
at the present time. The situation
is rapidly getting out of the control
OF the authorities.
Here is the plan OF the Tribune
for control and solution Of this prob
lem. On Center street from Rail
road to A streets. parking stalls
shall be marked off or the pave
ment at an angie OF forty five de
grees with the curb. These sectors
shall be two feet wider than the
width of a large touring car, in or
der to give ample room for aliEht'
ing from and climbing into a ma
chine.
On Second street from David to
Durbin streets, like sections shall be
marked off on the pavement ut a
like angle, and leaving a like amount
OF room on either side of a parked
vehicle. All parking stalls shall be
marked in red, in order to be easily
discernable, and when worn by con
stsnt traffic, they shall be renewed.

FEED MILL
AT LOCAL FLOUR MILL

Machinery arrived last Tuesday for
the Plentywood Flour Mill which has
been assembled and will be ready tor
operation the first of next week.
The feed grinder has capacity tor
grinding 85 bushels an hour and this
places the mill in a position to take
care of the grinding of ali kinds OF
feeds.
There has been a big demand for a
feed mill in Plentywood and respond
ing to the requests of their many pa
irons, the Hansens have installed this
most necessary equipment in the grind
ing of feed and livestock.
No doubt this department OF the
mill will receive a large paronage
from the farmers of this vicinity as
ground feed has merits over the whole
product which cannot be overlooked
in feeding stock and the Plentywood
Flour Mill has earned the reputation
Of doing its work thoroughly and skill
fully.

be beween Perry BHven of ScObey and

Blivens has endeared himself to To-
cal fans through his clever and clean
fighting and willingness to mix at all
times. The nervy fighter from Scobey
has been handicapped a great deal by
the fact that he has been forced to
fight men much heavier than himself
and it will be a treat to see him IN
action against a man of his own
weight. Blivens as yet has had no
trouble in giving a man of his own
weight a trimming in his fights IN
northeastern Montana, but he has a
hard man to beat whe he meets
Krause who comes here with a real
reputation for having fought some real
fighters of fistic fame.
Battling Krause halls from Fargo,
N. D., where he has been fighting the
best of the pugs, many Of them COM
ing from the Twin Cities and further
east. In all these fights he has prov
en- himself to be a real battler, one OF
the slashing hard in-fghters who al
WAYS give the spectators their moneys
worth. Krause has fought such men
as Bud Logan, Buddy Mcdonald, Bill

PLENTYWOOD HAS
A SAFE AND SANE
HALLOWEEN

After seeing the results of a Hal
lowe'en which has been held within
the bounds of mere playfulness, one
cannot help but praise the officials
who have seen to it that there should
be no damaging of property in the
city on that day.
Young America was given a chance
to display their spirit in a harmless
way and as soon as things looked as
if there might be- chance of damage
occurring a policeman arose from out
Of the darkness and ended the play.
The city, judging from past exper-
fences, saved several hundreds of dol
lars to the property owners of Plenty
wood by their prompt action in having
on a force of policemen able to cope
with the situation, and after all, 1t
seems that the kids had just as good
a time.
The Boy Scouts, who had been mus
tered into service, also had a great
deal to do with the fact that no prop
erty damage was done, as they put
on a strong patrol to look after the
free lancers and kind of keep them IN
line.

WILL COMPLETE
GRAVEL ROAD SOON

The road leading into PlentywoOd
from the west, where the business
men of Plentywood in connection with
the county, have been grading and
crawling, will be finished this week
if nothing happens outside Of the or
binary delays common to road build
ing.
This piece of road work is a fine tri-
butte to the spirit of the Plentywood
business men who have used both their
time and money in cooperation with
the county in getting this poor piece
of road in first class shape.
Other towns and cities in the c6unty
can we'll profit by following-a like eX-
ample in getting good roads into
their baliwicks. The graded road and
the Commercial Club raised the money
by subscription and labor to gravel
the surface and furnished the gravel.
This undertaking only goes to prove
what can be done when the people get
together to put across a worthy pro-
iect and with county funds for road
building very low, at the present time,
it solve the problem of good roads
leading into the cities and towns of
Sheridan county.
