Fire Chief Purdy received a letter
from the chief of the Sheldon, Iowa,
department. afew days ago who said
thatSa running team from that de-
5partment would be sent to the tour
nament at Mitchell the latter part of
this month. The Sheldon chief said
that there was too much profession
alism in the Iowa state tournaments
fora small town to get any show.
Secretary Adams is also receiving
communications from various towns
in the state who say that they will
send teams to the tournament, and
these are towns that heretofore have
never sent teams to tournaments.
There is no doubt now but what
there will be plenty Of running
teams to make the tournament a
grand success.

sHERwooD's wITHDRAws.

Hon Carl G. Sherwood, of
Clark, announces that he is not
a candidate for Congress, and
very generously commends the
prcsAit delegation in congress
thusly: "For the first time in
nany years we have a delega-
ton in congress working as a
unit, and with conspicuous abil-
ity, in the interest of the state.
We have also a state govern
ment working with equal ability
and in perfect harmony with the
members of congress to the same
end. This is what we have long
needed in South Dakota. If /
read public sentiment Alright, it
is the wish Of the majority ofthe
republicans in the state that
these conditions continue; and
that the people may be assured
they will continue, it is the wish
of the republican majority that
the present members OF congress
be reelected, with a legislature
that will prolong Senator Kit
ridges term OF office for another
six years.

THE METRIC SYSTEM.

There's chance that the metric
system, which has been found to
work so admirably in the none
tary system of this country, may
be adopted for all weights and
measures. The bill which has
been favorably reported IN the
house Representatives, provides
that after January i, 1904, all
the departments of the govern
ments of the United States in the
transaction ofall business requir-
ing the use of weight and
measurement, except i'll complet-
ing the survey of public lands,
shall use only the weights and
measures of the metric system,
and after the first of January,
1907, the weights and measures
of the metric system shall be the
legal standard weights and
measures OF and in the United
States. This will give over four
years for the people to adjust
themselves to The new order of
things and, while it may prove
a little awkward for some people
for a little while its advantages
will soon be recognized when it
is brought into general use

Kimball is having a little
newspaper war between the
Graphic and Index, the former
democratic-fusion, and the later
populist-fusion. The war be-
came so personal that the Index
man Mr.. Maynard intimated
that the Graphic man, Mr. Tinan
had stolen funds of the Kimball
creamery. The charge was base
less, and of course only caused
by a foolish rival spite. Mr..
Than did great work for Kim
ball and his county by using his
time, money and talents to
build up creamery there, for
which he is given great credit by
everyone except his rival. 1t is
a very small mind that can see
nothing good in what another
man does merely because ofbusi-
ness rivalry.

APPRECIATION OF LAND.

The more we realize that the
wellwatered lands of the United
States proper are now practi-
cally all taken up and that the
present mighty influx of immi-
grants into the northwest and
southwest will, within a year or
two, take all the good govern
ment land and buy all the cheap
private land, and the more ieal-
ously do we guard every foot OF
American. soil.
And as the nation realizes at
last the value of land, SO also do
the people realize the value of in
dividual holdings. So it happens
that in the last days of the vir-
gin prairies and unbroken forests
the number of those pressing in
to take possession, eager, alert
and keen to get title to land, sur
passes all previous similar move
ments. To-day 5000 Missouri
ians are passins through Mimi
eapolis enroute to farms in North
Dakota. Every week thousands
of settlers pass through this
gateway and hurry on hopeful
and determined to make new
homes in a new country. In
this day of railroads, when the
immigrant moves in a day a dis
tance that his grandfather took
fifty days to make, the public
does not see and feel the popula-
ton movement as it did when
long lines OF wagons westward
bound, creaked and groaned and
ratified through Allegheny pass
es, when the rude fatboats float
ed down the Ohio, and in the
later day when crowded steam
boats painted mp the Mississippi
and white-toppedpr prairie schoon-
ers meandered across the prair-
les in endless lines. But frequen-
tiers of railway stations and rail
road men who see the great
steam caravans, made up OF
scores and hundreds of freight
cars loadedwith live stock and
personal property and the pas
senger coaches filled with hrtnan-
ity, pouring through this gate
way day otter day, understand
magnitude of the movement

KEEPING THE HARBOR CLEAN.

Commissioner Woodbury. does we'll in bring
ing sharply to book everybody detected in
dumping street sweepings into the harbor. 1t
is notorious that in past years vast amount
of such Illegal dumping done At times
the crews of scows have been seen shovelling
the cargo overheard before passing Governors
Island and scows have been emptied before
reaching the Narrows. In late years II has been
the rule to wait until the scows were past the
NarrOws and we'll down the Lower Bay before
dumping OF course, many have scrupuously
observed the regulations and have not dumped
until fully beyond the harbor lines. But there
is reason to believe that some have been vioat-
ing the law right down to the present time
The result is to be seen in the harbor charts
and in the experience of steamships. The fill
ing up of the harbor channels in the last
twenty or thirty years has been phenomenal.
In some places there are scarcely as many
feet of water there were fathoms at a time
within the memory of men not yet grown old.
Doubtless this is in part due to the casting up
of sand by the ocean currents and by storms.
A huge slice has been cut from Coney Island
and deposited in the channels between Nortons
Point and Sandy Hook. But doubtless too, 1t
is in part due TO the millions of tons of street
sweepings and garbage and ashes that have
been dumped in or near the harbor When
steamship runs aground in the lower harbor
she ploughs into not clean ocean sand, but black
mud and filth. the refuse of the city. The
dredgers who are trying TO restore the old
time depth of the channels are working not
altogether in sand, but largely in deposits from
scows and sewers.
Comment has been made upon the fact that
the federal government has done far less for
New-York Harbor, proportionately to its i'm
portance. than for Cheesequakes Creek or the
Kiskiminetas River. That is true New
York deserves TO be far more literally dealt
with But complaint on that score would come
from this city with far better grace If the city
| itself had not persstently and perversely done
or permitted-so much injury to the harbor
| Ii is well to put a stop to the foolish and
| criminal practice. One Of these days, it is TO
be hoped. we shall become sufficiently civilized
to stop pouring all our sewage into the harbor
| But 1t is already high time to stop dumping
| solid refuse there. Commissioner Woodbury. is
| exactly right. The highways Of the city should
be cleaned and kept clean; but In that process
