SECRETARY OF STATE RlNGsRuD,

He Ta.ks Dakota Matters to = Chicago Re.
porter.
A. o. Ringsrud, the secretary of the
state OF South Dakota, while at the Grand
Pacific in Chicago the other day, is quoted
to have said:
The first legislature Of South Dakota
has q great deal of work before it." said
Mr.. kingsrud, and I believe they will do
that work we'll. They are o fine body Of
men md o conservative body, more con-
sentative than You would look for in the
Legislature of a new state. Their greatest
work will be the making of a complete
code of laws. just what stand they will
take in railroad legislation it is
hard TO say. There are q great many
farmers in the assembly, and one generally
looks for radical railroad legislation from
farmer Legislators. I am confident TINT
South Dakota will not go so far as Iowa
has gone in this. There is a special rea.
son why that is so aside from the temper
of the Legislature. South Dakota wants
more railroads. In some sections the
question Of how they shall secure more
railroads is the n which is nearer than
any other to the people. While so many
new roads are wanted you need look fer no
legislation which will brighten railroad
capital. The territory has long had a law
which provided for computing railroad
taxes on a basis of gross earnings. The
people are opposed to that plan. but they
have silenced their opposition because
they wish to offer all the Inducements
possible to new railroad enterprises.
When they come to making laws gov
erning trusts 1 suppose they will hardly go
at 1t quite 30 gingerly. The tendency
everywhere seems to be for stringent trust
legislation, and I will not be surprised If
our state equals Missouri in that respect"

Presenting the greatest analogy
with our earth of any of the planets,
Mars is naturally an object of great
interest at the times of its nearest
approach. During the past few
months its surface has been carefully
studied by Perrotin, OF Nice, and
others, and if their observations are
correct, it appears that our planetary
neighbor has been the scene of
changes, since two years ago, COM
pared with which the inundations in
China were quite Insignificant. The
equatorial land known as Lubia,
covering an area larger than France,
has been submerged, the entire dis
trict now presenting the appearance
of a sea. A new canal has become
visible north of this place, and an
other new canal traverses the white
snow cap of the North Pole.

DEMOCRAT: A. 4. Parker is here
in the interest of the passage of the
bill providing for the construction of
a wagon road connecting the north

introduced by Mr.. Day, few days

more than one-fourth of the land in
that magnificent valley had been TAX

for; and that bigger rush than ever

in the spring. Fifty immigrant
wagons, are now at Salt Lake, that

NO LEAF YEAR UNTIL lses.

The following explanation is given
why the year 1900 will not be
counted among the leap years The
year is 365 days, hours and 80
minutes long; eleven minutes are
taken every year to make the
year 3654 days long, and every fourth
year we have an extra day. This
was julius Caesars arrangement.
Where do these eleven minutes come
from? They come from the future
and arc paid by omitting leap year
every 100 years. But If leap year is
omitted regularly every Tooth year,
in the course of 400 years it is found
that the eleven minutes taken from
each year will not only have been
paid back, but that whole day will
have been given up. So Pope Greg
ory Kill, who improved on Caesars
calendar in 1882, decreed that every
centennial year divisible by four
should be leap year after all. So
we borrow eleven minutes each year,
more than paying our borrowings
back by putting three leap years in
three centennial years, and square
matters by having leap year in the
fourth centennial year. Pope Greg
ory's arrangement is SO exact, and
the borrowing and paying back bal
ance so closely that we borrow more
than we pay back to the extent of
only one day in 1886 years.

The EiklIorn mine is developing
into an astonishcr OF the first magni-
tude. Hugh Turner came TO town
last Saturday with another lorg purse
full Of the yellow metal. The mill. a
hve- stamp, ran fourteen days-not
days OF twenty-four hours-as it did
not run nights, and the result is
5000. The cleanup before this,
two weeks ago was %, 900, for a nine
teen days run. In speaking Of the
run OF quartz mill, day is always
understood to be day of twenty -four
hours-day and night. Six thousand
dollars for seven days run is mag
nifcent with only a Eve stamp mill.
The Elkhorn is getting richer and
richer, and now equals the records i,
made in early days.

DR.. SourHwoRTH, who came in
last Friday from Silver Mountain,
paid the WoRLD a sociable visit. He
says twenty-five men are at work in
three of the English company's mines
the Julia, Overlsnd and Indepen-
denoe. In the Julia they are running
drifts and sinking. Doc has great
deal of faith in the mines of that dis
trict, and his theory, which is reas-
enable one, is that their value will in
crease as they are gene down on, and
when water is reached the ore will
run high. Doc owns mines on Silver
creek, that show better ore on the
surface than the company's mines do.
He has hopes of getting company
in there next season.

H. iuRsfR, the largest man in
washington Territory, died the other
day. The coffin and body weighed
ooo pounds. The casket was seven
rect long and three feet wide. and re-.
CURED ten men to lift it. This is mn.
donbtedly Robert Turner, who lived
here in early days. His father, Robt.
iurner' who died a good many years
ago, was proprietor of the Warm
springs, now owned by Frank Coop
|er. Bob, when ten years OF age.
weighed over 200. Eight or ten
years ago lie was one of the largest
men In Oregon, weighing nearly 500
BOB would now be thirty-two or thir-
ty-three years of age. He was
schoolmate of the WoaLp's manu-.
tactdrer of high-grade wads of wis
dom IN the early days of this place.
and the news Of his death, although
mingled with sadness, causes memory
to slip back into the misty past, to
our earliest school days, and our as.
sociations with Bob Turner in youth
inl sports, and the going back brings
up vividly many amusing incidents in
which Bob was the center of attrac-
ton. His chief source of amusement
was in ball games, familiar to all
school boys by the names of ",own
ball" and 1.-TWO old cat,n and these
games were always doubly interesting
to the other boys when Bob was on
hand. He was hard hitter with the
bat, but In making bases" he was
not SO great a success. His energy.
determination, earnestness, and hard
efforts made to get over ground were
commendable in the highest degree
but speed, which is requisite in good
player, Bob woefully lacked. His
greatest efforts, which brought forth
herculean muscular strain and streams
OF prespiratlon, were just barely suffi-
cient to cause perceptible motion
forward in the direction of the base.
His body swaved to the right and
then TO the left, and Bob, at his best,
could do no more than slowly waddle
and wobbIe. At the sawmill, on
Buena Vista Bar, near the school
house, was a huge pile of sawdust.
The boys had this sawdust pile tun-
neled in all directions. The tunnels
were of such a size that the ordi-
nary sized boy could conveniently
crawl through them. Bob one day
ventured into one of them, and al
though it was a tight squeeze, he
kept crawling on with great difficulty,
and his we'll known determination to
do or die. When in about twenty
feet he came to a halt, and heroically
tugged away, but could neither go
forward nor back. The alarm was
given and the boys went in full force
with shovels and extricated Bob from
his tight and perilous position, after
working long time after the hour
for "calling school," Bob was COM
pletelv exhausted from unceasing ef-
forts to back out and showed some
symtoms of fright. Otherwise he was
all right when brought out from the
suhterranean prison into the light oi
day. After that he gave up tunnel
ing. and confined himself exclusively
to his old sport-''town ball" ano
"two old cat" Bob was as good
natured as he was fat, and was the
favorite with the school, and Away:
the center of attraction. There wa:
always some fun on hand at his ex-
neuse. but no matter what it was, he
never got on the warpath, but was al
ways the same good-natured, mirthfn
lad.

pus under his floor, where his dog
slept, but did not get up to see what
the racket was. Next morning, when
he went out, the dog did not come to
him, as usual, and Mr.. Moore went
and looked under the floor, and be-
held the tracks of a cougar, and the
trail where the dog had been dragged.
He took the tracks, crossed the fence,
went few hundred yards and found
the dog, partly eaten up. He put
poison in the dogs carcass, and went
back in short time and found one
cougar that measured nine feet. He
was lying with his paws on the dog.
Two more had been there, but they
did not get the poison. Cougars also
captured two of McBride's dogs.
