First Arte.i.n Work Wa. by Pierre Man

First Artesian Work Was by Pierre Man.
Chamberlain Tribune.
Huron is claiming great credit ON the
score of the artesian business. as though
this assumed interest would entitle her
to the state capital without challenge.
But she in no wise originated the idea,
and has no claim whatever to any credit
in this direction. The first artesian well
legislation was in 1887, when Hon. G. d.
Mead, Of Pierre. championed a bill
through the council introduced by Mr..
Sullivan, of Aurora county, in the house.
allowing townships to bond for artesi"n
wells, and the first one put down was in
Hughes county. The next legislative act
was a bill drafted by Senator Crawford,
of Pierre, providing for the sinking of ar
tesian wells and the construction of wa
terways, and introduced by him in the
council, and by Mr.. Lillibridge, Of Pierre,
in the house, Feb. 4th, 1889, and became
a law. On January 31st, 1889, Mr.. j. NJ.
Green, OF Brule county, introduced house
bill i79. authorizing county commission
ers to purchase artesian we'll outfits; re-
ferred to the committee on counties, and
Mr.. Crawford, of Pierre, reported it favor
ably. and Mr.. Lowery, of Huron, voted
to indefinitely postpone the bill. Such is
the official status of the artesian well en-
terprise, by which it will be seen that HUI
ron has no legitimate lot or part in the
movement. All her claims in that re-
spect are bogus and of no worth what
ever. AS this is her greatest claim it Will
he seen that she is passing as fraud on
the people, and has no real valid argu
mcnts to offer. When it gets down to q
a solid argument, Pierre can put it all
over her. and for this reason she will win,
inst as she did last year, and just as she
deserves to do in this the last clatter at
the prize.

Al Big job.


Chamberlain Tribune.
When the play is over and the gas turn
ed off Huron will be the worst used up
community in the state, as she is strain
ing every nerve resource; and when she
loses she will be in collapsed state pain
full to witness. Debt, fearful debt, will be
her portion. The other cities which en-
tered the race last year saw the elephant
to their sorrow, and prudently stepped
back, but she thought she could wrest
the well earned crown from Pierre's en-
perial brow, and entered the race as an
active competitor, but she has no more
show of success than poor deluded VOL
sey. We have nothing against Huron as
an aspiring Dakota city, but when she as
sumes to put on capital airs for q state
that is to last forever she is undertaking
a herculean job that she does not seem
to comprehend. We are building for the
fu lure az we'll as for the present, and here
is where Huron blindly falls down. She
is all right in her way but she can never
be the capital of this great growing state
of ours. No, no. It cannot be. Il she is
prudent she will read the handwriting as
did Mitcbelland Watertown and prudent
ly drop out of the race, before her re-
sources are irretrievably exhausted, and
still take herstand asa hopeful and pros
porous Dakota city. Will she heed the
not unfriendly warning?

The Jim Creek Hogs

Conklins Dakotiau
Last year Waterfowl was candidate
for the temporary capital of the state
and much time and money was spent
during the progress of the heated cam.
palgn. Every county in the state had a
greater or lesser organization in the in
terest OF Watertown's candidacy, and by
united effort and consistent, honestwork
1905 votes were secured to her. There
were six candidates in the field and the
verdict OF all the workers for WatertOwn
was that honest competition came from
every candidate with the one exception
OF Huron. Her record then made holds
good in the present contest. Unprin.
cipled misrepresentation was Hnron's
stock in trade then, as now, and it is the
almost unanimous verdict of the people
of Watertown, that had she received as
fair treatment from Huron as she did
from all other candidates her vote would
have been augmented so as to have
given her second place in the contest.
1t is a we'll known fact that the Huron
capital committee for the last ten days
OF the campaign persistently sent out re.
ports by wire, scurrilous circulars and
special messengers, that Watertown had
sold out to other towns, and the result
was damaging in the extreme. The
wrath of Watertown has not ceased and
when Huron offered her bride last
spring to keep her from again entering
the race,it only increased rather than
diminished. The paltry sum Huron of
fered is nothing compared with the loss
Watertown' incurred from Huron's dirty
work last year. just think of it, $1O,-
600 and a worthless note, contingent OF
course to remunerate this city for the
great expense of last year. An insult
that will be rebuked by at least three
fourths of the voters of Codington coun.
ty next month. Cheek has given the Jim
creek candidate many things in the past
but she cannot get the pernianentcapital
of the state through any such "argu-
ment," and that is about all the "argu-
ment" the Huron capital committee has
edited" this year Mark the prediction
that Pierre will receive more support in
the territory that gave Watertown 49,
O76 votes last year, than Huron. HUI
ron is humbug. Huron is hog.
Pierre is the peerless. Pierre will be- the
permanent.

Huron continues to lay great stress on
the Importance of giving her the capital
SO that she may develop the artesian sys-
TEN ofirrigation. Yet there is no argu-
ment in that. The lower end of the Jim
river valley has done as much and will
continue to do as much in this line as
Huron or any other locality can. No
one section has patent on this scheme

Chamberlain Tribune.
1t is reported that the Huron capital
committee has quit whacking up to the
boys in the "arid belt," and the afore.
said boys are in state of mind on ac-
count of this unexpected slip of the CAPT.
tai cog. We are not surprised at their
disappointment.
Huron's boosted poll of the state will
turn out this year as it did last. She
had it all figured out then to her advan.
tage, but it didn't turn out that way by
q jug full, when the vote was counted.
This polling business is harmless amuse-
ment, but cuts no serious figure.
Next to Sioux Falls Pierre is doing
more building this year than any city in
the state.-Chamberlain Tribune.

On a recent VISIT to Chicago, q man

made a sale of 72Opairs of papoose moe
casins, that he had manufactured, to
Marshall Field, the merchant prince of
that great city. Mr.. Field was much
pleased with the goods and greatly
amused at the idea Of buying at whole
sale of Aberdeen, S. d., and was conf
dent that his goods would please his
customers. This industry employs a
number of girls and is a great recon-
mend for the energetic Mr.. Shaft.
