Its Shortcomings.
Walt Mason In the Emporla Ga
zette treats shortcomings of the pros
Ident's message In this fashion :
"The president's message , as ev
ery one knows , is a very good mcs
sage , as far as it goes ; it touchet
on matters of obvious weight , sug
gests divers things for the good o :
the state ; but not the least notice
( alas ! ) does it take , of the nelghboi
who borrows your hoe and your rake
and does not return them Inside o ;
a year ; not a roast does he get , anc
It seems mighty queer. The presl
dent jumps on a whole lot of things
but never a word of the fellow wh <
sings , an hour before daylight whet
folks would repose O , the messag (
Is splendid as far as it goes. "
Mall Order Clothes.
Walt Mason in Emporla ( Kan. ) Ga
zette : I bought me a suit of the Sears
buck brand , they said It was talloret
and sewed by hand ; they said It was
woven of finest wool , and couldn't b (
torn by an angry bull ; they said H
was fine , and would surely last til
Gabriel tooteth the final blast. II
was ten cents cheaper than suits I'e
bought from local dealers , who seeinee
quite hot and shed a bucket of brlnj
tears , when I bought my clothes 01
the Sawbuck Rears. I wore that suli
when the day was damp , and It shrunl
to the size of a postage stamp ; the
coat split up and the vest split dowr
and I scared the horses all over town
for the buttons popped and the seams
they tore , and the stitches gave , wltl
a sullen roar. And I gave that suit te
a maiden small , who found It handy tc
dress her doll.

DALLAS DOES NOT BELIEVE ROAD
WILL PUSH ON.
EXPECTS TO REMAIN TERMINUS
Not For Several Years Will the Northwestern -
western be Built Northwest to Con
nection With the Pierre-Rapid City
Line ,
The Dallas News , published at the
present terminus or the Northwestern
railroad In Gregory county , S. D. ,
places no cretlenco in the reports on
an early extension of the Bonesteel
line northwest to connect with the
Pierre-Rapid City lino.
The Dallas paper says :
Contractor Thompklns , who had a
contract for construction work on this
line when the railroad was extended
west from Bonesteel , was In Gregory
the first of the week getting the portion
tion of his outfit loft there aboard cars
to ship to Canada where ho has a
contract for construction work. While
In conversation with a reporter for
the News ho said "That ho had posi
tive assurance from the company that
there would be no extension west from
Dallas for at least eighteen months. "
Mr. Thompklns had left this portion
of his outfit In Gregory county think
ing that there would be work west in
the near future.
The Belle Fourche Bee and The
Stock Growers News have been circu
lating reports of crews of surveyors
working in this direction and of vast
amounts of ties being cut In above
Belle Fourche. The Bell Fourche Bee
In a recent issue says : "D. W. Glavln ,
tie Inspector for the Chicago & North
western railroad , arrived Thursday
from Rapid City , and on Saturday
accompanied W. H. Sutherland to
Aladdin , Wyo. ! , where 2,500 tics will be
Inspected and shipped to Rapid City.
"When the contracts were first made
it was Intimated that they would be
used In extending the Northwestern
from Belle Fourche this summer , but
as the first bunch Is to be shipped to
Rapid City , it Is probable that the
balance of the ties will be shipped
there. Contracts have been made by
Mr. Sutherland for over 300,000 tlefi
In the Bear Lodge country , a majority
of these will bo brought down the
Belle Fourche river this spring In a
river drive. A boom will be erected
just above the railroad bridge , and it
is barely possible a tie treating plant
will be put In here. "
The original promoters of the town
of Dallas had every assurance that the
road would be built to Dallas and that
Dallas should bo the terminus for some
years before they laid out this town.
Trlpp county will be opened to settle
ment this fall and Dallas will be the
distributing point for that vast terri
tory for at least two years.
