publican ticket except one, was elected
The candidates "chipped in" tetwe, n
five aad six dollars each. In 1889 and
1880 there was an emptiness IuIking
around the pants pockets OF the candi-
dates which indicated the use Of more

memorable campsigns, whY-the records

IRRIGATION.
4 Former Hand County Mans Opinion
on the Subject.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 6, 1891.
Ed. PREss:-I hope this year will see
some great work done upon the irrigation
question in Dakota. / say bond for It
The state may rs well bond and bust for
1t, as to bust with out it,
Dam every dry run possible, hold the
water when the snow melts, and some en-
terprising man with portable steam en-
gine and few hundred feel of pipe couId
sail aronnd pumping it up to the Held
levels for the farmers 10 lead off through
the fields in bitches after the frost is out
OF the ground. Arteslan wells Dakota
must have as source of constant supply
but every Other plan must be taken ad-
vantage Of also.
The roads are fair, why not put that
work into building dams. Dakota people
With little stock are better off than many
here in factories and stores where work
is unsteady and wages down to living.
II is hard work for many young farmers
also, in this country to pay their interest
and taxes. Stay where you are, and keep
the water question before the state and
county. Yours, etc. G.. c. CROSBY.

LEGISLATIVE STAMPEDE.

Pierre Free Press:-We understand
scheme is contemplated which il worked
successfully will STAMPEDE the legislature.
1t Is proposed by some to have a horrible
report quickly spread about town that the
Indians over the way had broken loose
and were pillaging Fort Pierre and would
next cross the river. II is believed to be
senatorial scheme-there are two or
three old Indian fighters in the legisla-
ture too--and We think it won't work.
