We have heretofore called attcn ton

the railroad enterprises now in progress
shall have been completed n great many
settlers will locate along the line and
contribute TO the development of this
charming section of the State. Southern
Maryland possesses qualities of climate
and soil As well as river and bay resour-

Why Called the White House.

The inquiry comes othe Star,"When
and by whom was the presidents resi-
dence first called the White House
and when (after it's destruction by the
British in 1910 was it completed and
first occnpied?"
Congress authorized in 1915 the rem
ovation of the white-house after the
British occupation. 1t vas not re-op-
cned for occupancy till january 1, 1918.
In 1923 the south portico was finished.
In 1926 the east room was built, and in
1929 the north portico was finished.
The restoration work was committed to
James Hoban, of Charleston, the origi-
nal architect, the president meanwhile
occupying a fine house on the cornerof
New York avenue and Eighteenth
street, known as the @Octagon,"
The name of the white-house ia de-
rived from the fact of the Virginia free.

A Dakota legislature without n bullion
bill would be Il novelty. For weeks we
have wondered if the record would be
broken by the eighteenth assembly. Days
passed. weeks rolled by, and yet there was
no bill to tax the bullion which is going
out from the ore-filled mountains Of the
Black Hills. But 1t has come. The bill
has been introduced and ngain are the
popular Black Hills members on the jump.
The DalSota legislature evidently does not
intend to slight any of the distinguished
men of the country, for having paid
its respects to the Vandcrbilts
and Wizards by the introduction of rail-
road bills; rendered it's compliments to
DAY Gould in a hill for the increased taxa
ton of telegraph companies. and express
ed it's esteem TO many others of the coun-
try's magnatcs, it now extends its most
earnest recognition to Senator Hearst by
the introduction of II bill for the taxation
of bullion. That this is n world of trials
and tribulations is painfully evident to tho
gentlemen from the Black Hills, who, Just
as they began to get out of the woods
with the soldiers home, are bombarded
with a bullion bill which promises confu-

Trouble with the Half breeds.

The half-breeds i'll Rolctte county re-
fuse to pay their taxes. The report is
current that they Threatened to burn down
the county buildings and slay tho county
officers, and the commissioners and sheriff
called out the militia. Tho sheriff te!e-
graphed Gov. Church informing him of
his action, and the governor t%elegrnphed
his censure of the action of the officials in
ignoring the law and calling out the mill
tin without consulting the executive.
Sheriff Flynn attempted to collect some
taxes, and seized some horses belonging
to half breeds. He was overtaken before
reaching town by a mounted band of fifteen
half breeds armed with guns. They took
their horses from the sheriff and rode off.
The situation ut present is simply this:
Fifty armed men who went to assist the
sheriff in collecting taxes from the half
breeds returned without the taxes or the
property. Their plan to carry off stock for
payment was frustrated by the attitude of
the governor. The half breeds are gath
cred in large squads i'll the mountains and
breathe defiance. Scarcely less detcrmin-
ed are the inhabitants of St. John and the
county officials. The present truce will
last n short time only, as the sheriff is de-
termined to push the collections of taxes
at any cost. Bloodshed will he prevented
only by the most careful action.
