TO PRESERVE THE GAME.

An organized movement OF the settlers
Of the Big Horn region in Wyoming is
trying to put a stop to the wholesale
slaughter of wild game, not only by In
dams, but by whites. A short time ago
two officers Of the Austrian army visit
ing Fort Washable, while on a hunting
trip to the head OF Wind river with an
escort from the fort, slaughtered forty
head Of elk in n day. During the last
month, hunting parties from Nebraska
have killed for the antlers forty or fifty
head OF elk in the Wind river country.
The destruction by Indians, who kill for
the hides, is going on at all times. The
settlers foresee the entire annihllation
Of the game Of the region and are pre-
pairing cases for presentation to the next
grand jury against the whites who are
known to have violated the game laws.
Petitions to the interior department are
being signed, asking that the Indians be
prohibited from forming hunting parties
to leave the reservation, and a deter
mined effort will be made to pre- serve the
game from future depredations.-Saint
Paul Globe.

PROHIBITIONS.

In our very short acquaintance with
the papers OF the Hills, we are already
very favorably impressed with the
| Sturgis Advertiser. It's candidness is re-
freshing. In it's issue OF December 10th.
under the head go slow Gentlemen"
Senator Moody and his friends are ad-
vised not to begin the campaign to soon,
to wait for more ammunition. In it's
last issue it deals with prohibition very
openly. A severe law is desired that it's
enforcement may disgust the people and
result in the repeal OF the measure. The
responsibility OF the republican party
FOR the success OF prohibition is claimed
and on the future action OF the party on
| this question the Advertiser delivers it.
self as follows:
"The democracy dare not touch
Il live issue. They let the prohibi-
ton question alone. The republicans
took it up. The democrats were willing
to have them. The republicans are now
in q quandry. Should they drop prohi-
bition a third party will always combat
them. Should they keep to it the dem
ocrats, to a man, and the anti-prohibi-
ton republicans would combine against
them and encompass their defeat. The
question is can the party fight the polititi-
ealprohibitionist, as aseparate party, to
better adv antage than q combination OF
the democrat party and an%ti-prohibi-
ton republicans? We think it can. AS
far as the Advertiser is concerned, it
would rather have republican success
without prohibition than failure while
endeavoring to carry that water-logged
plank"
This is, re believe, the private opin-
ion, publicly expressed, OF nearly all re-
publicanjournals, and they lead US to ask
a question. rather to PROFOUND aconun-
drum: Did the prohibitionists OF South
Dakota capture the republican party,
or did the party leaders capture pro.
hlbition?
If the republican party captured pro.
hibition, why did they do it? The cause
would have lived out side OF either par.
ty. 1t started out to be and if left a.
lone, would have been non-partisan.
If on the other hand prohibitionists
captured the party, if they are in the
vast majority and a handful OF temper
airy leaders are forced into the issue
though really opposed to it. Is it goot
sense to talk OF forcing the majority into
a third party? Would it not be easier
to themselves withdraw and organize
the third party? It wouldn't look sc
like the tail wagging the dog.
The position OF the party reminds ont
OF q man who has seized a frosty too
and desires to let go, After one expert
ence he learns to hold on until the frost
is out. The party better hold on. The
principle is just as good now as it was
before election, and then you know the
party is in favor majority representa-.
ton. The discussion OF the subject, in
South Dakota at least, is irrevlent.
The people by a large majority declared
for prohibition. Their representatives
will, almost unanimously, pass string
ent laws for its enforcement, and the
servants OF the people and the whole
press Of the country surely should be a
in the enforcement of all laws.

STATE

Last week we published a full sketch OF
the School oflNines, prepared by N Of
the faculty for THr%]JNloN. This weeks
issue contains a history OF the Speartish
normal from its conception to date,
which has been kindly furnished us by
Prof. Cook.
We look upon our educational institu.
lions as OF first Importance, not alone
as a convenient means OF education for
residents OF the Black Hills, but as mo.
tors toward influencing emigration from
the intelligent classes of the east which
result would be felt for good, not alone
in this section, but throughout the state.
This has led us to place the facts in re.
gard to these institutions in our first
issues, a great many copies OF which are
being forwarded, not only by subscribers,
but direct from this office, to eastern
parties.
The article on the School OF Mines and
normal will be followed by ones on the
Methodist college and the different high
schools throughout the Hills.
When reading OF the struggles through
which these institutions have passed,
~ pfea.tern Dakota economists for
3i1e closing ot schools to reduce expens SEES,
does not set well. There is no doubt
but very many public institutions are
located and appropriations obtained,
not because they are needed, but to en-
nance the popularity OF some politician
orasanadvertising scheme to increase the
value Of some individual or company's
property, and it would be well for the
people if many OF these schemes had
been fought at their inception. But
when located, faculty employed and la
boring faithfully toward establishment,
to check the growth would be suicidal.
The actual number in attendance is but
Il small factor. Age is needed. Often
these first must go out as graduates to
help build up. Doubtless many parents
n dyoung people are studying our diff
erentschools having decided that this
year, or next, they will begin a course.
Close the schools and very many will
go to other states, and the ground gain
ed must be worked over again. Surely
when firmly established, and with the
attendance Of the normal, it would be
rank injustice to close its doors. Ii this
was carried out; it would do
vastly more to retard emigration than
aaew facts IN regard p shortage ofcrops.

CONGRESS COULD MAKE BETTE
TIMES

CONGRESS COULD MAKE BETTER
TIMES.
Let congress provide for the issuing OF
notes similar to our green-backs and
payable in ten to twelve years, without
interest.
Enact a law requiring all people living
n 1.-THE United States to accept these bills
when offered them in payment for debt,
the same as gold.
Then provide for lending these notes
to the people at a low rate OF interest,
say about three per cent per annum, to
be secured by first mortgages on land to
the amount of two to four dollars per
acre.
In every county where such loans are
likely to be made, have an officer under
proper bonds, to attend to the business.
Take out the first years interest at
the time the loan is made, which will
generally. be enough to more than pay
for the trouble OF making the loan.
Make the loans for five years with the
privilege of renewing for five years more.
If congress would make suchprovision,
many millions OF dollars with the best
security in the world, would be scattered
among millions OF people, high rates Of
interest would be lowered, mlllionaires
could not SO easily cramp the money
market, capitalists would employ their
wealth in new fields requiring more la.
Dor, trade would be increased, the poor
could enjoy q better education, the la.
boring people live better and be happier,
The capitalist will.cry, "Therel is plenty
OF money, make good use of what there
is" We answer, "Our condition is sim.
liar to that OF cattle on the range ir
a cold and snowy winter. There may
be plenty; but it will do us little gooc
while it is SO deeply showed under
There was plenty stored by in Egypt
but it only did the people good when il

CLIPPINGS,
RUMORS,

John r. Brennan returned Sunday
morning from a visit of several days
duration in Chicago. While in that city
Mr.. Brennan met and had a talk with
Tom Fitch, formerly general super.
intendent OF the Elkhorn road. Mr..
Fitch, in conversation stated that the
Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley
Railroad company would commence
early in the spring on the work OF OK
tending it's line OF road from Whitewood
Deadwood. This Mr.. Fitch stated
was an assured fact, and it was also
probable that the road would be con-
northward. He also stated that
t was reasonably certain that the Mil
Saukee road would commence opera
tions in the spring looking toward the
extension OF it's line OF road from Cham
berlain to Rapid City, and that should
lido SO the Northwestern road would
also push out from Pierre in this dircc-
ton. Mr.. Brennan is also in receipt OF
a letter from Senator Pettigrew, in
which that gentleman states that the
Midland Pacific will certainly be built to
Rapid City, and that it is almost a
positive fact that operations will be
commenced the coming year. The line
will a large part OF the way run parallel
to that OF the Milwaukee company. Mr..
Fitch IS positive that the roads will lose
no time in reaching the Black Hills once
the reservation has been opened to set.

that Rapid City is destined to become
the centering point for them all. Mr..
Fitch is now general superintendent Of

that has been awakened in the east in
the Black Hills, and while in Chicago he

i Address S. D. Reed, Link, S. D.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-21

THE State Board of Trade, acting on the
statement that the Santa F'e Railroad
stood in the way of a reduction in the
freight rates East on canned goods
which rates are now prohibitory--ap-
pointed a committee to take such action
as will lead to the boycotting OF that road
by all California industries. This is 81
very serious move. If the statement is
true, the Santa Fe will certainly be a
great loser by its course. Nothing could
do more to render road unpopular than
the action which is attributed to that cor
poration. Perhaps, however, the State
Board has acted hastily. Unless it has
tharoughly Investigated the matter and
is sure of its facts, it is entering on dam
gerous ground. The Santa Fe has done
great deal to develop the industries of
this State, and extreme measures should
only be taken on the most positive proof
that it is guilty of the injurious act
charged against it.

Charged with Battery.

Last Thursday there was row in the
Downey block, in the hall just outside
the Office of DIR. Crawford, aud Max
Wassman was knocked down by A. X.
Mcdonald. A complaint was sworn out
yesterday for Mcdonald and he will
probably be required to come to time on
q charge of battery.
Mcdonald is dentist by profession.
The causes of the quarrel between him
and Max Waseman are said to be of
rather sensational order. Last Thurs
day afternoon Wassman had been in DIR.
Crawford's Office telling him the circum-
stances of the affair. When he started
to step out in the hall Mcdonald, who
was standing there, struck him in the
face with his fist and knocked him down.
1t was some seconds before Wassman
could recover his senses, and by taat
time Mcdonald was gone. A warrant
for McDonald's arrest was in the hands
of the constables yesterday.

DARING DUsKY DELIVERIES.
Just before daylight the flagship was
visited by two boats manned entirely by
natives, who carried lines to the shore.
This was dangerous work owing to the
darkness, to the sea and the current, to
the reefs and the wreckage, and to the
difficulty of approaching the Trenton on
account Of the Vandalia's wreck. The
men were kept at the pumps and buckets
without cessation, with view to haul
ing off the ship and, if possible, keeping
her afoat. When the gale abated in the
morning the wind moderated. It WAS
then ascertained that the propeller was
missing. The ship had settled hard on
the bottom and the water could not be
reduced. 1t was up to the engine. room
platform and rising. Under these cir
cumstances, and in the absence of any
docking facilities or marine railway ap-
pliances and powerful pumps, the
abandonment of the ship became neces-
sary. Stores were gotten up rapidly as
possible and the people got their effects
ashore. Ett

HIS Bravery commended by the
Late Capt. SchoOn maker.
WASHINGTON, April 20-In dispatch
from the late Captain Schoonmaker,
dated on board the Vandalia, March 9Th,
that officer called the attention of the
Department to the meritorious conduct of
William Fooye, seaman. A man fell
overheard on February 22d, and Fooye
jumped overheard and brought him to a
rope, enabling him to get on board again.
On the 9TH of March, after q heavy
blow, with much swell in the roadstead,
it was discovered that rope was foul of
the screw, thus disabling the ship,
which was then in an unsafe place.
Fooye went under the counter in heavy
swell and succeeded in clearing the line.
On the same morning Humphreys, ordi-
nary seaman of the Vandalia, while
working at the anchors, fell overheard.
He could not swim and would undoubt-
edIy have been drowned, but for
the courage and presence of mind
of Fooye, who jumped overheard
from the forecattle with rope and sue
ceeded in getting him on board. Com
mander SchooDmaker, in his report,
says: "In view of these acts of efficiency
and humanity, I feel myself in duty
bound to call them to the attention Of the
Department, and to ask it to give such
reward to Fooye as, in its wisdom, will
seem to it to be right"
