for the Bcolor building will probably
bo done gratis or for the exchange of
the dirt. At the present time John

Out of 153 assessments which were
sent the different business men of
Norfolk asking their support lor good
roads , only thirteen have responded.
The committee In charge are disheart
ened over the proposition nnd declare
If the people do not respond In the
next week the matter will bo given up
entirely. The farmers are now very
busy , but at the same time reports are
coming In that they are heartily In
favor of the good roads and will do
whatever they can to aid the Norfolk
business men In this proposition , but
more financial aid Is necessary from
the business men hero to carry on the
good roads campaign , a movement
which nearly every city of this size Is
now carrying on. It Is something
which would benefit Norfolk more
than any other proposition at this
time , the committee feels. Unless
more enthusiasm Is shown by the Nor
folk business men the "good roads
day" will probably bo forgotten alto
gether.

Grazing Right Is Forfeited.
Sioux Falls , S. D. . Sept. 18. To be
declared trespassers and prosecuted
under the laws of South Dakota maybe
bo the fate of white cattlemen who
have been grazing their herds on the
Trlpp county portion of the Rosebud
Indian reservation under agreements
y.h the Indians , made with the con
sent of the Indian bureau officials at
Washington. The leases have expired.
Many of the herds were being grazed
on the ceded portion of Trlpp county
when nearly 1,000,000 acres of the land
was opened to white settlement last
year , nnd it appears that the cattle
men , or at least some of them , have
continued to graze their herds on the
ceded lands since that time. The
homesteaders have been greatly an
noyed by the straying herds , which In
numerous instances have entirely de
stroyed the crops of homesteaders
who have occupied the ceded lands.
The settlers have steadily main
tained that the herds had no right on
the ceded lands , and this view has
now been confirmed by the authorities
of the interior department at Wash
ington , to whom numerous complaints
had been made by the settlers. The
bitterness of the feeling growing out
of the destruction of homesteaders'
crops has caused the Interior depart
ment officials to take action , and the
complaining homesteaders now have
been officially advised by the depart
ment that all grazing leases In the
ceded portion of Tripp county ex
pired in Juno of last year , and that the
cattlemen who have agreements with
the Indians have had no rights In the
ceded portion of Trlpp county since
that time.
In view of this , If the cattlemen con
tinue to disregard the rights of home
steaders by permitting their herds to
continue to roam over the ceded lands ,
they will be prosecuted by the , home
steaders as common trespassers un
der the state law.
The feeling between the conflicting
elements has been very bitter for
some months , nnd on numerous oc-
cnslons serious clashes hnvo been
nnrrowly nverted.

VALENTINE-FAIRFAX LINE.

mer of Kansas City , head of the engi
neering company which Is doing the
engineering work of the proposed wa
ter power hero , and line of electric
railway between Valentino and a con
nection with the Dallas branch of the
Northwestern railroad , arrived here
Monday morning , bringing with him
blueprints , map , profile and estimate
sheets of the railway extending from
Valentino to Fairfax.
The survey Is satisfactory from Val
entine to a point about five miles east
of Naper , but from there to Fairfax
the line detours and encounters a very
heavy grade across Ponca creek ; there
fore , another party will bo put In the
Held before long , which will undertake
to find a more satisfactory connection
with the Northwestern railroad In that
vicinity.
Mr. Palmer says that ho has quite n
largo amount of work yet In bringing
out details relative to stations , road
crossings , bridges , culverts and the

regard to the water power will be
reached. He , therefore , thinks that It
will bo the middle of October at least
before the result of his survey will bo
ready for Investigation on the part of
promoter nnd Investor.
The grades between Valentino nnd
Nnper are all kept below 1 per cent at
a reasonable cost , which is quite satis
factory from an engineering and In
vesting point of view.

Millers Raise $50,000.
Trade Exhibit : Backed by the
Millers' National federation , the Up
dike Milling company of Omaha will
institute suit in the federal court in
Des Moines against the department of
agriculture asking for an Injunction to
restrain the enforcement of the rules
against bleached flour on the ground
that the department of agriculture has
acted without authority.
The millers have begun collecting a
fund of $50,000 , to be used in fighting
the government In defense of the mill
ers who may bo prosecuted for selling
bleached flour. '
The millers are raising their fund by
taxing each user of the patented ma
chinery 25 cents a barrel. The com
pany which controls the patents will
add ? 50,000 to the millers' fund.
The bleaching process by machinery
Is said to be used by two-thirds of the

millers in the United States. "
Dakota Watermelons.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Sept. 18. The ex
perience of J. N. Bowell , a rancher
residing In Fall River county , In the
extreme southwestern part of South
Dakota , in raising watermelons tha !
season demonstrates what can be ac
complished by dry farming In that part
of the stato. Bowell now Is marked-
Ing his watermelon crop. Ho will have
a total of about 5.000 melons , which
were raised on bench land where It
was Impossible to Irrigate them. Nev
ertheless , the melons are fine ones
and are as good In quality as those
shipped In from the great melon status
of the south. The entire crop was
apparently wiped out by hal' ' about
July 10 last , and ho thought at the
time that the melon crop was gone be
yond redemption , but they recovered
and the present great crop Is the re
sult. The crop of melons will bring
him a revenue which will about twice
over pay the cost of jtbe land upon
which they wore raised. Because of
the extent of the crop Bowell now la
referred to as the watermelon king
of Fall River county.

the towns and smaller cities could
make no bettor Investment of an equal

good road drags. Live farmers would
bo glad to haul them back and forth
between farm and town occasionally
when making market trips. The re
sult wouid bo greatly Improved roads
in every direction , practically nt no
expense.
1TER POWER TRUST
Gifford Pinchot Tells of Its Peril
at Irrigation Congress.
HE ADVISES SPEEDY PROTEST
National Foreiter Atsertt That Com
bination It Forming and That the
Tims to Fight It * Schemei It Now.
Polntt Out the Country' * Flrtt Need.
At ono of the sessions of the recent
Irrigation congress , held In Spokane ,
Wash. , Gifford I'lnchot , the chief of
the forestry bureau , directly charged
that there was n water power trust In
process of formation.
"Not only this , " ho Bald , "but this
water power trust docs not have nny
hesitancy about appearing before this
congress , In the persons of Its attor
neys , to seek to break down the last
remaining opposition to ownership of
all the pdwer In the country.
"In fact , I know one genial and ur
bane gentleman who Is now here helpIng -
Ing the trust's cause. The time for
protest Is very short , and the water
power trust will show but little con
sideration to the common people 1) )
once the power of the country Is con
trallzcd. In power there Is life , am
the water power trust will eventually
control nil other trusts. "
Equality of Opportunity For All.
Mr. Pluchot named ono power cor
poration which , he charged , was after
the control of water power. Ills speech
was In part as follows :
"The first thing we need In this coun
try , as President Itoosevelt so well set
forth In that great message which told
what he had been trying to do for the
American people , Is equality of oppor
tunity for every citizen. No man
should have less and no mail ought to
ask for any more. Equality of oppor
tunity Is the real object of our laws
and Institutions.
"It goes without saying that the law
Is supreme and must be obeyed. Our
civilization rests on obedience to law.
But the law Is not absolute. It re
quires to bo construed. Rigid con
struction of the law works and must
work In the vast majority of cases
for the benefit of the men who can
hire the best lawyers and who have
the sources of Influence in Inwmnklng
at their command. Strict construction
necessarily favors the great Interests
as against the people and In the long
run cannot do otherwise. Wise exeotv
tors of the law must consider what
the law ought to accomplish for the
general good. The great oppressive
trusts exist because of subservient
lawmakers and adroit legal construc
tions. Hero Is the central stronghold
of the money power In the everlasting
conflict of the few to grab and the
many to keep or win the rights they
were born with. Legal technicalities
seldom help the people. The people ,
not the law , should have the benefit of
every doubt.
Water Power Trust Now Forming.
"There could be no better illustration
of the eager , rapid , unwearied absorp
tion by capital of the rights which be
long to all the people than the water
power trust , not yet formed , but in
rapid process of formation. This state
ment Is true , but not unchallenged
We are mot at every turn by the Indig
nant denial of the water power Inter
ests. They tell us that there Is no com
munity of Interest among them , and
yet they appear year after year at
these congresses by their paid attor
neys asking for your Influence to help
them remove the few remaining obsta
cles to their perpetual and complete
absorption of the remaining water
powers.
"They tell us It has no significance
that the General Electric Interests arc
acquiring great groups of water pow >
ers In various parts of the United
States and dominating the power mar
ket In the region of each group. And
whoever dominates power dominates
nil Industry , Have you ever seen a
few drops of oil scattered on'the water
spreading until they formed n contlnu
ous Him , which put an end at once to
all agitation of the surface ? The time
for us to agitate this question is now ,
before the separate circles of central
Ir.ed control spread Into the uniform , un
broken , nation wide covering of a sin
gle gigantic trust. There will be little
chance for mere agitation after that.
No man at nil familiar with the filtua
tlon can doubt that the time for cffec
tlve protest Is'very short. If we do not
use It to protect ourselves now we may
be very sure that the trust will give
hereafter small consideration to the
welfare of the average citizen when In
conflict with Its own.
"The man who really counts Is the
plain American citizen. This Is the
man for whom the Roosevelt policies
were created , and his welfare is the
end to which the Roosevelt policies
lead. As n nation wo are fortunate at
this time In this fact above nil others
that the great man who gave his naiiu
to these policies has for his successor
another great president whose admin
istration Is most solemnly pledged to
the support of them. "
It Is on account of this speech that
the belief Is expressed In Washington
that Mr. Pinchot has Imperiled hH
chances of long remaining In the gov
ernment service.
Taft't Sunday Hair Cut.
The Massachusetts law forbids all
work except for necessity or charity
on Sunday , but President Taft hud his
hair cut on lust Sunday at Ueverly.
Both the barber who-did the work ,
Mattls S. Enos , and the president
would have been subject to a fine of
| 5 each If the Beverly police could
have heard of the dark , secret goings
on at the Taft home. "Mr. Taft Is t
very fine man , " said Enos afterward
"lie smiled and Joked mid talked with
his family while I cut his hair and
was very ceulul Indeed. "
SEES ANOTHER CIVIL WAR.
Outcome of Tariff Problem and Only
Cur * For It , Claim * John Dlgelow.
Prom another civil war , duo this
time not to slavery , but to the tariff ,
the United States may bo saved by
national Insolvency , toward which It Is
rapidly drifting , says John Hlgelow ,
the aged Democratic statesman , In n
letter to the tariff reform committee of
the Reform club , In reply to one callIng -
Ing for financial assistance. Nothing
else will save the country from civil
war , he thinks.
All appeals for a real revision or a
reduction of the tariff , Mr. Blgelow
says , arc Hko appeals to drunkards not
to drink to excess or to burglars not to
steal so often. Ho goes on :
In each and every en so those appcil *
are not merely to toleration of crlnio , but
an excuse ( or It , just as the toleration of
slavery blinded more than half the nation
to the fact that slavery was nut only a
disgrace to any nation , but a violation of
the dlvlno law , which had to bo expiated
by trials proportionate to Its enormity.
When your reform committee la pre
pared to take , a flrin stand OKalnst nny
tariff upon Imports , to make every har
bor upon our COO miles of ecacoast aa free
to the commerce of the world as those of
Now York ore to these of New Jersey or
those of Pennsylvania are to these of
Virginia , I shall bo happy to join you nnd
do what I can to promote the success of
your labors.
In such a work I should have tlio sat
isfaction of knowing that I was nut cvon
Indirectly countenancing a vicious system
of taxation ; also that I was helping to
put our statesmen upon an Inquiry for
sources of revenue that were not tainted
with every crime , save murder , of which
hlKhwaymen have been condemned by the
laws of God and man.
Your hope from the division of the ad
ministration party over the Payne-Aldrlch
tariff bill Is , I think , largely a delusion.
No ono can count the number of people
that are willing to steal or go on the
highway for a living whenever public
sentiment or the law will say or even
countenance the Implication that thcso
modes of living are not disreputable. Wo
have before us In the tariff precisely the
lame Issue that confronted us In the re
bellion of 1861.
To mo It appears that protection Is even
more nrmly llxed In Its saddle than ever
Blavery was , because the property It gives
to the protected exceeds the total value
of the slave property of the United States
at Its maximum.
I make no pretensions to being a proph
et , and therefore I will only ask what
reason there Is for hoping for a deliver
ance from the unrighteous burden of pro
tection by any less severe trials than
those by which wo effaced the only reproach
preach upon the constitution of the Unit
ed States provided by our conscript fa
thers who framed It. "What motive had
the southern planter to go to war for the
protection of slavery that the Republican
party has not In far greater degree to
fight for protection ?
THE TROUBLE IN PERSIA.
Shah's Disregard of the Constitution
Led to the Outbreak.
The recent occupation of Teheran ,
the Persian capital , by the National
ists Is a direct result of the Insist
ence of the Persian people that the
shah govern the country under the
constitution that was granted on Jan.
1 , 1007. The shah has Ignored and
withdrawn tlio constitution , which he
signed when he ascended the throne.
Ills course has resulted In widespread
unrest In Persia , which In some sec
tions has approached anarchy. The
movement to compel him to observe
the constitution gained force until , fol
lowing the dissolution of parliament In
1008 , n great part of the country broke
out In Insurrection , particularly at
Tabriz , which fell Into the hands of
the Nationalists after fierce lighting.
While the shnh was trying to cope
with this .situation In the north the
Bnkhtlnrl tribesmen , the fighting race
of Persia , rose In the south and early
this year captured Ispahan , 210 miles
south of Teheran. The tribesmen then
began the long march to the capital ,
and their advance guard arrived In
front of Teheran last month.
In addition to her Internal disorders ,
Persia hns been beset by serious situ
ations on her frontiers. On one side
Turkey lias Invaded Persia In the di
rection of Druminh , her ground for
this step being a frontier dispute of
long standing , nnd the city has been
surrounded by Kurdish bandits nnd
Turkish troops. The British and Rus
sian governments have been exerting
their Influence to Induce the shah to
summon a representative assembly to
bring the state of anarchy to an end ,
and Russia , acting In full accord with
Great Britain , has sent n military ex
pedition lute Persia from Baku for
the protection of foreigners. This
lorce was recently at Kazvln , eighty-
six miles from Teheran.
The Persian empire Is divided into
British nnd Russian spheres of In
fluence , and these complications , to
gether with the Turkish aggression on
the western frontier , have served to
Increase the hostilities between the In
ternal factions.
THE DENTISTS EXTRACTED.
No Laughing Gas Used In International
Row In Berlin.
The sessions of the fifth Interna
tional dental congress , held In Berlin ,
have been enlivened by an unexpected
diversions , owing to the refusal of the
American dentists resident In Berlin
to have anything to do with the affair.
The local Berlin committee which or
ganized the congress decided that the
privilege of membership should bo
granted only to dentists who practiced
In the countries where they had pro
cured their diplomas. This excluded
about all the American dentists in
Europe.
When the delegates from the United
States arrived and began to Inquire
why their Berlin colleagues were absent -
sent the committee tried to rescind Its
ruling , but to no nvnll. The resident
practitioners declined to accept the be
lated Invitation.
The American dentists of Berlin
have obtained a position which their
native competitors could not reason
ably be expected to regard with un
mixed satisfaction. The kaiser , the
kalserln and HUM ! of the aristocracy
have American dentists , and the Ger
man practitioner has to tnko what Is
left.
CUPID'S ' STRONG Ally-
Unique Society That Is Booming
Matrimony In Iowa.
AIMS TO DISCOURAGE DIVORCE
Des Molnet Organization , Now Slut *
Wide , to Show Old M ldt and fUchs-
lors People Are HAppler Married
Than Single Embarrassing Quit-
tlont Are Atked.
To encourage marriage nnd to dto-
courage divorces a number of young
married couples of Des Moines recent
ly formed an organization known nw
the Waka Foof Kuwal , Japanese
words which In English mean "Younc
Married People's society. " The organ
ization followed a sermon by the Her ,
A. 0. Haggerman of the First Meth
odist church of Don Molnes , who npoker
on the divorce evil. It wan then HOIIIO
of the more practical minded men of
he audience determined to take this
step. G. 1. Huffman , a prominent
young business man of Des Molnes ,
was Instrumental In securing new
members and In making thu organiza
tion a success. The society ban
proved n winner In the catching of old
maids and bachelors. The object of
the young married people Is to be hap
py. If they are not really happy they
are to appear happy. In this way they
expect to show the bachelor who
boasts he would rather be home read
ing his sporting paper than the center
of a bunch of howling kids that ho
Is entirely mistaken and that , after ull ,
married life Isio \ \ only happy one.
Informal Parties Arranged.
The society's members make It a
special point to tell all of their old
Michclor and old maid friends what n
splendid time they enjoyed when they
assembled to spend the evening nt the
home of one of their members. The
parties arranged are very Informal.
The men are expected to take their
wives and gather up the kids. If
they be so fortunate , and to make
their way to the scene of the ovenlng'u
reception. If the husbands neglect to
bring the children a fine Is Imposed ,
which Is sent to the treasurer , who
deposits the same In the general treas
ury.
ury.At
At the beginning It was decided to
admit only married couples who lived
In Des Molnos , but the success of the
new organization attracted the atten
tion of outsiders , nnd It was decided
to admit nil married people provided
they had not been married over ten
years. At present similar organiza
tions have been planned and are la
force all over the state of Iowa. All
report splendid progress , and It Is pre
dicted the little society organized In
DCS Molnes will soon be a national af-
fair.
"You may not believe It , but we have
succeeded In roping In quite n few old
maids and bachelors of the most pro
nounced type , " explained Mr. Huff
man , the founder of the unique organ
ization. "Yon know these old maids
nnd bachelors can't resist the tempta
tion when they see us and learn how
we cut up. Consequently they easily
fall victims to Cupid's darts , and some
day we read where and how they were
married.
"Ic Your Wife the Boss ? "
"When we have a prospective mem
ber we embarrass him with such ques
tions as these : Number of children ?
Do you roost supreme In your house
hold , or Is your wife the boss ? If you
do not rule your household , who does ?
Arc your domestic relations pleasant ?
If not , why not ? Do you know any
body else who should become a mem
ber of the Waka Foof KuwnlV"
Like all societies , this one has its
committees. The most Important com
mittee Is one on matrimony , although
the members of the domestic trouble
committee dispute this statement. The
two committees on matrimonial en
couragement and divorce prevention
have their hands full. The regular
meetings are held the last Monday la
each month. Often and whenever n
new member Is initiated lie Is forced
to read a paper on some ridiculous
question "How to Prevent Babies
i From Crying When You Have Com-
j pnuy For Dinner" or "How to Train
Your Husband to Care For Baby When
