From the Capital.
YANKToN, FEB. Goth, 1876

1ANkTok, FEB. LUtn, 1905
The absorbing question in the
legislature now is the bill for the
formation Of new counties. The
one cutting up Bon Homme and
Hutchinson counties and making
the new county of Wagner and the
one dividing Brown county, have
both passed the Council. Thelobby
from Brown county felt so good on
Saturday that they gave a cham
payne supper at Geo. Browns, un-
der the Merchants, in the evening
1t is reported as being the biggest
drunk of the session.
The Bon Homme county bill is
considered to be the most outra-
geous and barefaced fraud ever per-
petrated on a people. The provis
ions of the bill are to cut a piece of
from Bon Homme and Hutchinson
counties and make a new county
called Wagner, arbitrarily locating
the county seats of the three coun-
lies without submitting the matter
to a vote of the people, and this, too,
in the face of the opposition Of near
ly t~hree-fourths of the votes of the
two counties. The county seat Of
Bon Homme is located at Spring.
field, of Wagner at Scotland, and
| Hutchinson at Midtown.
The capital removal question has
quoted down and we are inclined
to think that it will not be disturb
ed again during the session.
A number Of the appropriation
bills have passed both houses alt
been presented to the governor
Some of them, however, are hangin,
fire from some cause. There is nov
but a little over two weeks Of tn
session left and but few bills have
as yet, run the gauntlet and 60
through to the governor. 1t is init
mated that the governor will exer
else his veto power on quite a mum
Der of the bills that it is propose
to send him. 1t is hoped, at leas
that he will do SO.
Next week we shall send a list {
the bills passed and approved.

For the last two years we have
urged the establishing of a creamery
at this place, as being OF the greatest
benefit, both to the farming com
munity and to our city. Such an
institution has now been established
and incorporated under the laws of
Dakota. The stock has been taken
by five permanent business men of
this place, who propose to put CAPT
tai enough in the business to make
it a first-class institution in all re-
spects. The farmer who has not
given this subject his attention may
not be aware of the profit accruing
to him in furnishing cream to a
creamery. To illustrate: The price
of butter to-day in this and neigh
boring towns is Is cents per pound,
generally in exchange for merchan-
disc. Our creamery would be ex-
pected to pay more than this in cash
| at the farmers house fer the cream
that would make a pound of butter,
thus saving labor and expense of
delivery to the farmer.
1t is not a very wild estimate to
say that a COW well fed will produce
cream to the value of Is cents per
day for ten months in the year,
making a total for cream alone of
S54 in ten months, leaving the milk
for raising CALVES and feeding hogs,
the value of which, for such purpo-
ses, being more than the expense of
feeding for the year. We advise
our farmers to milk only good COWS
and, as the quantity and quality of
cream depends on the amount of NJ.
tritious food given, we certainly can
see more money for the farmer in d
judicious system of feeding. Our
creamery company proposes to pay
the highest price for cream and hope
to start with the product of 1000
COWS. We believe it is for the in
terest of every farmer within reach
of Elk Point to dispose of their
cream in this way. In connection
with the purchase of cream, the
company will handle butter and
eggs, for which they will pay the
highest market price in cash. Elk
Point and the surrounding country
are to be congratulated over the es.
adjustment of such an institution
and we can safely predict success
for all who are interested in it, both
stock holders and customers.

The Nebraska people who trade at
this point are busying themselves
laying in supplies and bringing
wood and other products to town in
anticipation of the spring breakup
when natures crystal bridge will be
dissolved and they will he compelled
to resort to a far less convenient and
more expensive means decreasing the
Missouri river. Although heavy
ice is an object Of nervousness and
anticipation in the spring, its con
venience and profit are sensibly felt
through the winter season. 1t is
truly an i'll wind that blows nobody
good, and as nature never supplies
advantages free from objections to
n~lortals, we must submit to the OBJ
jectionable portions Of our circum-
stances with as little complaint as
possible, especially when they are
matters that deal with the future en-
tirely. Certainly it is proper to pre-
pare and be ready for any calamity
that may possibly occur, but it
would indeed be a disastrous flood
that would %injure the people here to
an excess of the good the business
people have received on account of
the heavy ice and increased business
in the Nebraska trade since the begin
ming of the year.

We are in possession Of a report
of the secretary of the board of di-

Dakota school for deaf mutes, pre-

perintendent of the institution.
This will no doubt. be one of the
most satisfactory reports of public
institutions ever made in the terrific

from the very smallest beginning to
an institution of such magnitude
and Importance as to be attracting
attention all over the territory and
to be made an object Of controversy
between different localities, as to tn,
place of its permanent location. W.

this prosperity is owing to the ener
gy and competency of the presen
superintendent and teacher, MI
Simpson. On his way to Yanktol
last week to make his report to Gov
Ordway, Mr.. Simpson stopped Of
between trains, and among the res
called at the COURIER Office when
