Where TO Get Water.

The matter Of obtaining water
Cor a system of water works will be
an easy one. The city can acquire
whatever rights it needs IN this line.
If the water is taken high enough
mp the canyon it will not, for many
years to come, diminish the flow at
the mouth of the canyon. This IS
the experience of all streams where
water is taken out IN a reasonable
quantity.

ii s o. Depot viii Not be Moved

In elaring headlines and in leading article
the Daily Post announced rumor that the Baltl-
more & Ohio passenger depot Is to be moved to the
Fast End in order to make union depot for that
road and the Short Line, and attempted to assign
reasons for the truth of the rumor. Such state
ments can not be too hasti ~ reVracted, Tor they
are absolutely without foundation and their clrca
aton is calculated to destroy the confidence IN the
fixed conditions Of our hustling city and prove dis
astrous to real estate prices and stability Of an ever
expanding trade. The report was started as Q joke
upon the Post reporter and given with such gull.
bility that he easily became victim to this ont
rageous preparation by persons who ought TO nave

Of such serious nature and of such great import
apee that the paper itself, should not have rushed
headong into heralding it. To the contrary care
full investigation should have been made, and alter
that the exercise of good common sense should
have been observed. The article in question
shows that neither was used.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad has gone to
great expense in serving the people of Clarksburg
and has shown admirable enterprise in building its
depots aud making convenient its grounds There
is very friendly feeling between the Baltimore q
Ohio and Clarksburg. This friendliness has been
greatly augmented by the painstaking by the rail-
road company TO promote Clarksourg S interests IL
the way of quick transportation splendid facilities
and reasonable rates. That the Pennsylvania,
which controls the Baltimore 6 Ohio in large
measure but which has shown no disposition to
change the operation of the road IN any way from
what it has been, will ruthlessly break the cords
Of this close friendship by such disastrous move.
ment as the removal of the depot is absurd and is
not entertained seriously for moment. In fact
every existing condition reiutes the idea of the
depot's removal and none need be alarmed over
such sensational rumor as the Post allowed itself
to become a victim of.

for the farmer, will do well 70 remember rnat feet
and check their gall in gloatng over the fact that
wool is not twenty-five cents . pound. From the
glee they manifest over eighteen cent wool, II is
yery evident lower prices would tickle them to
death. and yet it has been limited from time to
time that they take no delight in recalling oleye
lands administration. Itseems to be case OF
sour grapes with them that the farmer can geseven
eighteen cents for his WOOL but they trying to
work 1t for what it is worth that some Of the par
tisans OF that party may ride into Office on the
friend OF the farmer hobby. We opine, however
that their actions speak louder than words and
that the happy prosperous farmers Of this country
are too intelligent to allow themselves to be drawn
into the trap Of calamity, such as the last demo-
cratic national administration inflicted. They are
perfectly welcome to chuckle all they please over
what they say is calamity to the farmer, but the
farmer himself will never allow himself to be per-
suaded that democratic chuckle contains sym:
pathy or good for him.

The Miner and OPERATOR.

In their efforts to effect unions among the
miners IN this section, it would be well for the
ganizers to famlliarize themselves with conditions
that exist in the Clarksburg and Fairmont dis
tricts A careful inspection of these districts will
convince organizers of the utter futility of at.
tempts to prejudice miner against operator If
they care to go through the districts they will find
the miners and their families comfortably situated
as to homes, clothing, food and wages, and high
degree of contentment prevailing. Let them
certain that miner and operator are on friendly
terms and apparently have thorough understand
ing A sympathy exists between them to-day
stronger than ever before. Both seem TO apprec-
ate the worth of the other and both are working
together for the good of all. The operators de-
serve much credit for the enormous expenditures
they have made to develop the rich coal fields of
Harrison ard Marion counties and to furnish en-
ployment to thousands of men at wages far better
than those given elsewhere. The miners on the
other hand deserve praise for the course they have
pursued in making an honest and profitable living
Their faithfulness and devotion to their work are
especially commendable, and have caused them to
fare much better than if they had vested their
time in uprisings, mutiny and strikes as has been
the case in some other regions. If they see proper
to organize and be independent of organizations in
other places it may be profitable for them to do So
but to orgaaize that others may take advantage of
them and possibly deprive them of livelihood is
to bring disaster and ruin to them. All in ALL it is
highly probable that the best thing to do for the
miner to stand by the operator, and especially so
in the Carksburg and Farmont districts, if he de.
sires to preserve the present excellent and pros
porous conditions.

The pioneer coal operators in the Fairmont
mining district are the Watsons. They have done
more than any family to introduce West Virginia
coal into the markets of the world and have led
and are leading still in our coal development They
have 81 mines Of the Al the Fairmont Coal Mining
Company have control of. The magnitude Of the
operations of the district is inconceivable. The
output Monday was 651 railroad cars or 1900
tons, giving employment to 5000 men and repre-
senting pay roll of at least 100000 per month.
When running at full capacity, which they expect
to do soon. the annual output will reach 100000
tons and 10000 or 10000 will be given constant
employment. In view of this, words are made
quate to speak their praises. One great secret of
their grand success is their studious difference
for the miners welfare. They provide him the
opportunity to have nice, comfortable. coy homes
and their employees appreciate such employers.
Nay the Fairmont Coal Mining Company and en-
ployes live long and prosper

Less than year ago Charles A. Towne, of
Minnesota, went in and out before the people
preaching to them the imaginary peril Threatening
our noble land because of the existence of corpora
tons and his eoquence along this line and his in
diligence in all kinds, of false prophecy equalled
and almost eclipsed those of Bryan. He talked
like he actually believed his own babble and tried
hard to make others believe it. Time, however,
has changed thing and notions with him and to.
day Mr.. Towne has willingly, even eagerly, placed
himself in the clutches of the octopus. In other
words he has become member, with other promi-
nent democrats, of five million dollar Texas oil
field corporation. The democratic and popocratic
leaders may howl all they please against corpora
tions. but they are never slow to monopoze lit
tie themselves every chance they get, but noaone
ever heard of democratic leaders practising what
they preach. and why say more?

Democratic papers are setting up q great howl
because the board of directors refused TO retain
Mrs. RufFner at the head of the Home for 1ncura-
bles at Huntington and placed an experienced ply
stefan there in his stead. The fact that all the
epiepcs of the two insane asylums are to be taken
to the institution is good argument in favor Of
the boards action. The duties of the position GER.
tainly demand physician to fill it. Mrs. ltaffneF
is not physician and makes no pretensions along
that line. Besides, she has been quite free with
her tongue in flashing the state administration, al
though that may have had nothing to do with the
boards action. But she deserved the rundown
because of her abuse of the administration. The
people generally who are familiar with the facts
are satisfied with the boards selection.

The citizens Of Mulberry street have shown a
commendable spirit in their proposition to pay two
thirds of the cost of paving that street They can
we'll afford it, as paving increases the value Of
their property and makes that vicinity a much
more desirable residence section. Others can we'll
afford to emulate them, and, in so doing, hasten
the time when the entire city will be paved The
council did right to accept their proposition and
will do we'll to encourage others in making similar
proposals.

Opposition to public improvements, in which
one has no part, when based alone on that ground,
is about as much selfshness as human beings are
capable of. Inspired by such a motive, no one
need expect to influence the public to any great
extent and, when that motive becomes thoroughly
exposed, the arguments against improvements will
fall with dull thud and remain as fiat as those
who make them.

against Mckinley and further his own selfish ans

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 16.-A coun-
terfeiters' den near Sioux Falls was
raided last night by Deputy United
States Marshal Jerry Carleton and
Sheriff Huston. Levi Clark, the oc-
cupant. and a complete outfit for the
manufacture of spurious money were

as the most important capture made
in South Dakota for years.
A great deal of counterfeit money has
been circulated during the past few
months at Parker, Madison, Canton.
Sioux Falls and other places in this
part Of the state. A short time ago
Levi Clark purchased a quantity Of
plaster of paris at a local drug store
and rendered in payment a half dollar.

Arthur of the Usage school, Oklahoma,
has been appointed superintendent of
schools at Sisseton, and he will hereafter
have charge of the agency affairs.
The department officials have for more
than three years been anxious to dispense

congress was asked at the last session to
abolish the agency. This was not done.
but provision was Unsupported in the
Indian bill giving the secretary OF inte-
rior the authority to discontinue agencies
under certain circumstances.
Agent Johnson's term expired yester-
day, but he will probably be given until
May to settel his accounts. Opposition

Good Authority Announces Sioux
Falls and Madison Line
Will Be Built.
HALF TO BE GRADED BY July i.
Not known for sure That Any of sious
Falls Roads Are Back OF the Project
Connection That Has Long
Been Wanted.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 20.-Not-
withstanding the many obstacles with
which the promoters of the proposed
railroad from Sioux Falls to Madison
have had to contend. it can now be
definitely stated thatarrangements have
been made whereby grading on the pro-
posed road will be commenced IN
short time, and that the grade between
Sioux Falls and Cotton, about midway
on the route, will at least be completed
by July l.
The information comes from reli-
able source. 1t is further stated that
the grade from Cotton to Madison will
be made just as soon as the work be-
tween Sioux Falls and Cotton is COM
pleted. The money to iron the road Is
soon as the grade is completed is in
sight. The work will be done by the
Sioux Falls and Northwestern railroad
company, which is composed of local
capitalists. So fay as con be ascer-
tanned, more of the great lines running
into Sioux Falls are behind the move.

Rosebud Reservation Project Must Go
Through Several Prelininaries.
Chamberlain, S. D., April 17.-Con-
siderable interest Is manifested by in
tending settlers in the prospective
opening of the Rosebud Indian reser-
walton, provision for which was made
in bill passed by the last congress.
The bill does not provide for the open
ing of the entire reservation, but only
that portion now embraced within the
boundaries of Gregory county.
There are about twenty-four town
ships embodied in the tract to be
opened for settlement. Some of these,
along the Missouri river, are frac-
tional townships, but they contain
some of the finest agricultural lands in
the state. The secretary Of the In
terror was authorized by the law to
appoint commissioner to treat with
the Indians for the surrender of their
lands. After settlement has been
ratfy the treaty, which cannot take
place before the next session of con-
gress in December, and following this
the Indians must make their selec-
lions of lands before white settlers can
take advantage Of the homestead laws
The opening will probably not occur
for year at the earliest.
The law under which settlement may
be made will be the same as the laws
governing other homestead entries In
the northwest, no change having been
made, as was the case with the open
ing of the reservations in Oklahoma
The lands in this strip are generally
of good character.

Odo Reder who Has Caused the Govern
ment Much Grief Pleads Guilty.
Sioux Falls, April 20.-Odo Reder,
a prominent Black Hills man, recently
indicted by the United States grand
jury on two counts for the illegal cut
ting Of timber III the Black Hills, ar
rived in the city Wednesday, and yes
terday created something of seelsa-
ton by appearing before Judge Car
land and pleading guilty to the
charges. On the 10th inst. his attorney
secured continuance of the trial of the
case, Judge Garland continuing it to
the regular term of the federal court
at Aberdeen next month. 1t was. how
ever, later decided to have it disposed
of here.
Reder, upon pleading guilty, was SEN
fenced by Judge Garland to pay fine
of $500 and serve a term Of one year
in the Lawrence county jail at Dead
wood. This is the maximum penalty.
and was inflicted because Reder Is an
old offender who has caused the forest
reserve officers In the Black Hills, and
the federal officials. a great deal OF
trouble during the past six or eight
years It is estimated that the govern
ment during that time, and in the pres
ent case, has expended $4,000 or $4,000
in prosecuting him.
