Judge Kemper is in the city At
tending a meeting Of county court
The Jadege took in the ex.confeder,
ate reunion at Houston, Texas. and
while there in company with Major
Bradley, who was prospecting for
section of land, took buggy and
travelled over the country consider
able. The Judge said neither OF
them was fsvorably impressed with
the lay of the country as it was too
flat and swampy. This land was
held at from s. to $40 Per acre,
while the good land farther back
from the coast ranged in price with
the land in this county. As for the
crops, oats looked fine, and wheat
was a partial failure. Corn does
pretty we'll but the farmers, on a.
count of weevil, are unable to keep 1t
from one year TO another, as Is also
the case with wheat. The Judge
said by investigation in the towns
he found the farmers used mostly
chopped feed and this came from
Missouri and sold for Sl.50 per
hundred. He also noticed that the
brands Of -four kept in stores
came from this state and what ba-
con was used was taken from the
sides OF Missouri pigs. Il never saw
the like of poor horses" said the
Judge, "and if I saw span of
horses belonging to farmers that l
would not be ashamed to drive
through the streets of Butler, |
don't remember them. They feed
nothing but grass and poor article
of that" On the whole the Judge
was not favorably impressed with
Texas as far as he investigated as an
agricultural country as compared
with this. Maj. Brady was of the
same opinion and did not invest.

Without an Official Head.

The city of Butler is now without
an official head. At the meeting of
the council Monday night, Mayor
G. B, Hickman became disgusted
at the manner in which the majority
of the new aldermen desire to man
age the affairs of the city and per-
emptorily handed in his resignation.
The resignation took place after the
aldermen had voted to repeal the
occupation tax. This act of the
council reduces the receipts of the
revenue of the town several hundred
dollars, and introduces a very nice
question as to how and where the
money is to come from to run the
city government and keep the town
from becoming overwhelmed in debt
and litigation. Just how the alder,
men propose to raise revenue will
be seen later. 1t has been suggested
that under the late ruling of the
supreme court in the Lamar case, a
special tax will be imposed.
Well that will be all right until
tax collecting time arrives, and at
this period in the game we would
rather be excused from being called
member Of the non occupation-tax
town board Or city collector. Mark
the prediction, when the people look
at their tax receipts tie wall Of the
business man in payment of the
occupation tax will be as gentle as a
May morning compared to that cy-
clone of Indignation yet TO come. It
may be however, the new council
have a scheme to manage city affairs
without the necessary and all things
will run smoothly.
The TIMES doubts tLs wisdom Of
Mayor Hickman s action in resign
ing, and is inclined 10 believe he
acted in haste.

was in the city Saturday and renew
ed for the booming TIMES. Mr..
Harper made the county one of the
best and most popular officers it has
ever had. He is now living on his
farm in Lone Oak township, and
with other crops has about so acres
of corn which has been plowed over
twice and some of it three times. He
said since the weather had turned
warm the corn WAS growing very
fast and the prospects were good for
fine crop.
David Laskey, for many years a
merchant and postmaster at Stump
town, Lone Oak township, died at
his home in the above township,
Sunday at IL o'clock p. m. The
fnneral took place Tuesday and the
remains were deposited in Rogers
cemetery with Masonic honors. Mr..
Laskey has been on the invalid list
for some time, and couple of
months ago talked of going to Cali
fornia for his health. He leaves a
wife and several children.

that, while times have been hard

some time, business is reviving and a
better feeling exists with all classes
of citizens. The grading and paving
of the streets in Santa Bar bara has

of laboring men which in this town
removes many phases of hard times.

There is nothing new in Auditor
Nipples idea Of throwing the sale of
liquor into the hands of registered
pharmacists. The plen was advocated
by the GRAPHIC wears ago--and that is
possibly where Johnny got 1t. But
dispite the many excellent features Of
the scheme it will never work III large
cities, like Sioux Falls, for instance. 1t
is useless and waste of time aud energy
to try to do away with the selling Of
liquors by the glass in towns of any
considerable size. If they would let the
GRAPHIC make liquor law it would be,
briefly told, like this: A local option
law giving right to any community
to license saloons or not. as each commu
nifty may elect. In all towns where the
maturity were opposed to the saloon the
state or county should license the regis
tered pharmacist-who carried certain

original packages not to he drank upon
the premises. W.. have not space just
now to elaborate, but We'll bet anything

will be more popular than any other that

Irrigation ana com N, ON sense.

A correspondent at Huron, S. d., writ
ing on the subject of irrigation. calls at
tention to some practical points which
it will be well for the people Of the state
to bear IN mind; and indeed they can
exteud with profit the inquiry along the
same line. The legislature of South
Dakota is soon to meet, and in all proba-
hility great many propositions will be
foisted upon it in this particular which
ought to be very carefully and conserva-
lively treated. Pretentions schemes in
yolvlng state interposition or in enc way
or another looking to large local lndebt-
edness should be received with great
caution. The subject of irrigation in
South Dakota is not ready yet for fin
ishad treatment, and will not be for a
lcng time. The conditions are not yet
we'll enough understood. Experience is
limited. There is no doubt that irriga-
tion by artesian flow or perhapsby wind
mill or other power can be made profit
able for farming operations in large
areas in South Dakota. 1t has been made
SO already in mary instances on n COM
paratively small scale as yet. But it
has been done by private enterprise and
initiative. The problem involves novel
and very diverse conditions. 1t is Alto
gether different from irrigation proper.
OF irrigation where the whole water
supply is artificial. In South Dakota,
indeed, many OF the conditions vary with
each quarter section. So new is the
subjpctand so incomplete is experience
that all the presumptions are against
the practibility Of any comprehensive
state scheme that can be possibly de-
yised at this time. The Huron CORES
pondent points out the fact that some
of the township artesian wells under
tie existing law are worthless as public
! property, having already become chok"i
up and having never been as well cared
for or used as they would have been as
private property. When you use tie
public power of taxation in such cases
the danger is that you might saddle big
burdens OF debt on communities without
any practicle compensation. In South
Dakota especially, for the present, irri
cation, like any other farm operation,
should be u matter of private Initiative
and enterprise. Real progress will
i ,.cc,aend on these at anv rate, no matter
what legislation may be enacted. TIL,
man who succeeds in irrigation will be
the farmer who goes about 1t to irrigate
who bores his own artesian we'll and who
controls it absolutely for his OWE puf,
poses. Doubtless it is in the power OF
the legislat ire by wise provisions to ai(
private enterprise somewhat, but it is
also in its power by hasty and nnwise
laws not only to impede progress ii
Irrigation, but also to plague the peopi,
of many communities with iDjndicious
debt and other complications. In word
common sense VIII be needed in dealing
with this subject at the approaching
session Of the legislature, and things
which it refuses to do will probably b,
worth more to the people in the long ruI
than the schemes it may adopt.-Siou,
