The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1903-02-06

: One of the big fights in the legis-
lature will be over the passage Of an
act providing for the leasing of the
school lands on the range west of
the Missouri river. Such a bill was
introduced in the senate Wednesday
and it is being met with fierce op-
position by the stockmen Of the
range country. For a good many
years the school sections have been
used for grazing purposes without
charge to the stockmen, and On re-
firing from bis official position Land
Commissioner Eastman brought the
matter to the attention Of the legis-
.lature in his report of the custom
that has prevailed. The stockmen
claim that with the passage Of the
bill it will have the effect OF work
ing much harm to the stock inter
ests, as the men cannot afford to
pay the lease price and make
anything from their investment. BY
the free use Of the school sections
MI. Eastman maintains that the
state school fund is not getting it's
just deserts. The Indications are
that it will require a hard battle to
defeat the bill, as it has gained
much sympathy on this side of the
river.

ton. The amendment was lost on
being put to a vote. Alderman
Scriven modified bis motion to the
extent of drafting the ordinance TO
repeal that portion referring to the
exclusive franchise Of the company
and wherein it is stipulated in the
contract that the city is required 10
pay a certain price for a certain
number of lights for a certain period.
This motion was passed unanlm
ously. This ordinance is to be pre-
sented at the next meeting Of the
council whether it be a special or
regular. With the passage of the
ordinance a fight will undoubtedly
be precipitated by the holder OF the
mortgage on the plant.
A committee from the G. A. r.
appeared before the council, repre-
sented by DR.. S. j. Moore, with a
request that the council grant the
g. A. Il. and w. r. c. the privilege
II occupying two rooms in the base
ment Of the Carnegie library build
ing as long as the organizations last.
The old soldiers were willing to fit
up the rooms and finish them Just as
they desired. without expense to the
city. The request was referred to
the library building committee with
power to act.
The license Of Fogarty g. Geiger
was taken up and a permit was
granted to them to engage in the
saloon business.
The reports OF the city officers
were presented the council and they
were adopted. The council adj
journed.

State Oil Inspector Branch has
prepared a bill which will have for
its purpose the branding of the oil
that is shipped into the state, and
in discussing the features OF the
bill he said: SAT present the oil
shipped into South Dakota must
stand a flash test Of l05. This is
the same test that is exacted in
Iowa, but with this difference, that
the South Dakota test is in an open
cup and in Iowa it is in a closed
cup. This makes a difference of
about 13 degrees. l find That at
Canton, which is just over the state
line, the oil stands a test Of at least
lis in an open cup flash. which in
Iowa in a closed cup flash would be
los. | asked Mr.. Gheen why it
was that they had better oil at
Canton than at other parts of the
state, especially in the Hills district,
and he said it was because they
had to conform to the Iowa law

When Our Coal viii Be Gone.

T. K Adams, a mine inspector OF
Mercer county, Penn, says that the
last lump Of coal will be mined in the
United States in the year 2052. He
said there is about enough coal in the
United States to last 700 years at the
present rate of consumption, but
points out that the demand doubles
every sixteen years, and should the
ratio be continued the coal will be ex.
hausted within the next $50 years.

Manufacture of italian Cheese.

Making Italian cheese is a new In
dustry which is attracting attention in
New Jersey. Many cheese factories
have sprung up and tomato Gamers
turned to cheese making to util-
ize the oversupply Of tomatoes. The
latter are collected and mashed and
the mixed with salt and spices in q
large box like a mortar bed, They are
then stirred and mixed by hoes to a
proper consistency, but thereafter the

SOME LEGISLATIVE DolNGs
Bill Introduced in the Senate to Tax
the Mines in the Black Hills
Region.

Pierre. S. D.. Jan. 31.-Probably
lutionary bill which will come before
the session is the one introduced
yesterday by Senator McDougall. or
Marshall county. providing for the
assessment and taxation Of mines up
on the basis of the ploluct thereof.
Up to the present time the mines
of the state are taxed as acre prop
erty, the great Homestahe as an IL
llstration being assessed for taxation
at the rate of about twenty dollars
per acre. The bill provides fall pro-
ceedure for ascertaining the product
of each mine and the taxation OF it.
The members Of the state board Of
regents say the report that there is
any difficulty in relation to Brook
ings college likely to result in a
faculty mix-up is not true.
Friends of the university are much
pleased with the passage through the
senate of Senator Payne's bill pro-
viding that graduates OF the state
law school shall be admitted to.
practice without examination.
Senator Moody led in opposition to
the measure upon the ground that it
would lower the standard for admis-
sion, but Payne fought ~valiantly for
the school and was ably seconded by
Senator Abel. Senator Moody wished
to amend the bill to require two
years additional study in an office,
but this requirement it was thought
would ruin the school. This amend
ment defeated the bill passed almost
unanimously. The school is now in
Its second year and has thirty
students.
Nj. j. S. Crawford, who is here in
the interest of the management
of the st. Louis exposition and who
by the way, is a brother Of u Coe.
/. Crawford, has.made a good i'm
preston, and the bill will doubtless
be reported favorably to carry $4,000.
1t will. however, receive a good deal
of opposition in both houses at that
figure and many will stand not to
exceed S25, 900. An effort, too, will
be made to cut the number Of COM
m%issioners from five to three.
Williamson has cut the demands
for special appropriation bill to the
Madison Normal from Ss7, 600 to s4O,-
300 and the board of regents has rec
ommended the bill favorably. There
will be a disposition to concede this
amount TO this institution and the
will act al a precedent IN
many other special appro-
oriations asked for exceeding in the
aggregate what the state could COM
nand for such purposes.
The appropriations question is
Bearing heavily upon the, minds Of
III classes: upon the institution
members lest the special and
building bills shall fail, and from
hose from administration counties
est they pass. There is constant
ak Of an neutrality-suspicious. COM
line, but diligent search fails to
eveal any attempt to reoganize
Senator Moody declares his
eadiness to join with others to dis
eliminate in the appropriations be-
ween those that are absolutely
leeded and those which are only
)adly wanted.

We were very sorry indeed to learn
of the second bereavement of Brer.
Osbon, of the Howard Spirit. Last
week his paper contained the an
nouncement Of the death of his
second son, Orman, which occurred
in the Philippine Islands on Jan. "a.
The young mar was killed by the
LadrQnes, who made an attack on
the village, where the young man re-
sided. He went over to the Phil
ippines with the South Dakota regi-
ment, and after it served its time
young Osbon remained and enlisted
In the volunteer army. At the ex
piration of his second enlistment he
entered the government service as a
teacher. Brer. Osbon's first son a
killed in the Philippines while the
South Dakota regiment was fighting
there. Although taken from his side
without the pleasure of a last look or
a last word, Brer. Osbon can be proud
of the records made by his two sons,
who died fighting for. the flag of their
country.

The mayor Of Minneapolis has

cannot get any coal at all.
