BUSINESS MAN
HERE ASKED TO
AID NEW BRIDGE
Omaha Interests Expected to
Invest $300,000 in Yank
ton $1,300,000 Railroad
Across River.
Omaha manufacturers, wholesal
ers and other business interests will
be asked during the next lew day
to invest $300,000 as Omaha's share
n financing the projected $1,300,000'
tailway and wagon traffic bridge
icross. the Missouri river at Yank
ion. S. D.
D. B. Gurney of Yankton, presi
dent of the Meridian Highway
Bridge company, in charge of the
bridge project, and the seven direc
tors of the company arrived here
late yesterday for a whirlwind cam
paign to raise the remaining quota
of funds needed to start immediate
construction of the bridge.
A total of $800,000 worth of stock
in the bridge corporation already
has been sold in and near Yankton.
Mr. Gurney announced. He and
the company directors will propose
here that if Omaha ' investors will
subscribe the requested $300,000 the
company officials will go back to
Yankton, a town of 5.000, and raise
the remaining $200,000 necessary
fully to fiuance the bridge construc
tion, -
New Branch Railway. .
The proposition f.o Omaha men
will be on a basis of spreading half
of the amount subscribed over a
period of two years and payment of
the other half when the bridge has
been completed and a new branch
line of railway is. in operation from
Yankton to Fordyce, Neb., 12 miles
south, where it will connect wtih
the Minneapolis and Omaha divi
sion of the Northwestern.
This 12-mile stretch of railway,
Mr. Gurney stated, will be the, first
section completed of a line which
it is planned to build through from
Omaha to. Salem. S. D.. a distance
of 170 miles. Articles of incorpora
tion will be hied tor this project
soom
This railroad connection 'and the
new Yankton bridge, officials of the
bridge company point out, will cut
from four to live hours off the pres
ent fastest roundtriri - passenger
schedule between Omaha and Yank

The bridge contract is expected
to be let within the next two weeks
and construction work probably will
be under way .early in July, Mr.
Gurney announced. There is now
no means of crossing the Missouri

washed out by the recent flood and
the Yankton ffrrv boat was smashed
by ice and wrecked.

'AS Julian yesterday J. R. Graham
broke 'a road through snow drifts
ranging from three to eight feet
deep to get to a lield on his farm
; in order to sow oats. A large field
had been swept bare of snow by the
high wind that raged during the

just right for oat sowing. The oldest
inhabitant cannot recall a similar
circumstance in the metcrological
history of the county.

state delegation and has not been

that has brought him enmities has
,i chance at Chicago.
I'.oth Hoover and Johnson live in
California, and, therefore, Hoover is
violating none of the niceties of po
litical precendent by asking for, the
suffrage of the Golden state. By
their line of reasoning Johnson will
be out of the race if he is defeated
in California despite his victory in
Michigan.
Bitter California Contest.
Only Hoover and Johnson are
running iu California, and the con
test will .be bitter. Senator Johnson
at the .closs of his campaign iti Ne
braska is expected to hurry to CaN
jfornia and. .remain until after the
primaries on May 4.
Johnson is known to have alien
ated many of his friends in both the
northern and southern part of the
state by his opposition to the treaty
in any form, and Hoover, who fa
vored it, with adequate reservations,
thus has a great chance to win..
Consequently the -efforts of
Hoover will hereafter be toward
winning California's 26 delegates to
give him standing, in the conven
tion, and then to work up a senti
ment for Hoover to break the dead
lock which is believed certain.

Indianapolis, April 7. The nom
ination of a republican candidate for
president at Chicago Svill be made
only after many ballots, and per
haps he will be a candidate now not
actively in the running, Joseph B.
Kealing, former national committee
man of Indiana, said here today.
Kealing's statement attracted wide
attention because of his recognized
political wisdom. The former na
tional committeeman did not state
his preference, but it is believed he
will favor General Pershing as a
compromise candidate.
Expects Long Fight.
''Up to this date there have been
selected in various states 276 dele
gates, nearly one-third of the num
ber that will comprise the conven
tion, and of this number 226 are un
instructed," Mr. Kealing said. "The
very fact that there are so many of
the delegates uninstructcd when
such a hard tight is being made by
several candidates indicates that the
rank and file of the republicans have
not yet made up their minds whom
they want for the next standard
bearer. I look for an old-time con1
vention, which will name the nomi
nee after a long fight and many bal
lots. I do not believe that any one
can now safely predict who the
nominee will be. It may be some
one not now actively a candidate."
In political circles in Indiana to
day the discussion was almost
wholly of tne effect the Michigan
primaries would have on the In
diana primary here May 4. Besides
General Wood the candidates to be
voted on in Indiana include Senator
Harding, Governor Lowden and
Senator Johnson,
Admittedly General Wood's
chances to catry the Hoosier state
have been dimmed : by his severe
reverse in Michigan. He is further
handicapped by the fact that in the
next three weeks he must compete
with three candidates running be
fore their home electorates Low
den in Illinois on May 13, Pershing
in Nebraska on May 20, and Hard
ing in Ohio on May 27.
The campaigns of Lowden, Per
shing and Harding are all pitched
on the theory that any one of them
would make a wide popular appeal
as the party nominee and none of
them are so-called favorite sons, and
that each of them will win the test
in his home state seems certain.
Has Hard Fight.
It General Wood is unsuccessful
in his effort to take the home dele
gations of Lowden, Pershing and
Harding, counting Michigan, he
would come to Indiana with a record
of four straight defeats.
None of the candidates except
Wood are making a direet fight for
the Indiana delegation. What Hard
ing, Lowden and Johnson want is
an uninstructed delegation. In this
they arc supported, by the two
United states senators, Watson and
New, and Governor Goodrich.
Under the Indiana primary law
to get an instructed delegation,
a candidate must get a clear majori
ty of all the votes cast. With four
candidates in the race it will easily
be seen that this is next to impos
sible. If none of the candidates
gets a clear majority the delegation
will go to Chicago uninstructed.

South Dakota Coal Vein
Struck by Well Drillers
Aberdeen, & D.: April 7. CSoe-
cial.) While drilling a well on the
farm of Henry J, Kienast, about six
miics south of Wetonka in Edmunds
county, workmen struck, about 300
feet below the surface, a vein of
coal about 40 feet in thickness. The
spread of the vein has not been de
termined, but ft is believed to be
very large. The samples brought
to the surface by the drill show that
the vein is more like anthracite coal
than lignite, being considerably
harder than the'latter.

Scottsbluff, Neb., April 7. After

which he declared might have turned
the tide in favor of ratification.
