Russian war ships lying in the harbor at
which time they inflicted considerable
damage to the Russians. We have reason
to believe that another attack was made
upon Port Arthur on the 10th. At this
time they bombarded the fort for about
four hours and hurled about 200 shells
into the town and fortress. What amount
of damage resulted from this lombard
ment, if any, we have been unable to
obtain anything which We are justified
in regarding as authentic. The Japs say
they did, the Russians say they didn't
The Japs say Port Arthur is evacuated
and has fallen into their hands. The
Russians say Port Arthur is intact and
they will never surrender. So there you
are, you pay your money and you take
your choice. We read and read column
after column trying to get grain of
truth until We find we have been stuffed
SO full OF lies that We arc sick and would
like to vomit it all up and get rid of it.
But we must do the best we can, we give
it to you as we receive it and vouch for
nothing. AS for ourselfi if this state of
things is kept up we will soon begin to
doubt if there is any war, but that the
two nations have entered into q conspir-
acy to fool the rest of the nations and
are doing it to the Queens taste.

The Russlan-Japanese War.

Our readers must understand that it
will not do to believe all the reports
that appear in the papers on their first
publication. 1t is better to hold them
in obeyance for few days to see if they
are confirmed. In our younger days we
read the reports of the Mexican war as
they came in and again during the war
of the Rebellion, and again the Franco
Prussian war, the SpanishAmerican war
and now the Russo Japanese war. But

down right lieing the newspaper cores.

ports to their various papers of the bat

even it can be taken with grain Of salt.
We have reason to believe that there

Congressman Martins Record.

tins leap into national prominence is
little less than phenomenal. A short
time ago he was known only in South
Dakota, and very little known in large
portion even of the state. Today he is
considered one of the leaders in the
house of representatives and is reckoned
with by political principals throughout
the country.
The fight against the beef trust which
he has recently undertaken, is largely
the cause of his sudden prominence.
The Chicago Record Herald few days
ago devoted an entire column to a letter
from Walter Wellman, the famous Wash
ington correspondent, on Mr.. Martin
and his work. This fact alone shows
that our representative in congress is
considered a national character and a
! weighty one. 1t was well deserved
tribute to man who endeavors to get at
the bottom of every matter he under.
takes and to right every wrong he finds.
The Black Hills in particular has rea.
son to be proud of him. There is hard
| ly town in the district but has received
material benefit at his hands he is al
ways working for his district and his
ability and fathfulness have won the
confidence of his constituents and the
hearty approval of his congressional col
leagues. A letter received short time

man Burke proves that Martin is work.

A recent issue Of the Pierre Capital
says: States Attorney Scott, of Mime
haha county has advised the county
commissioners of that county that they
have no legal right to rebate taxes; and
City Attorney Keith, Of Sioux Falls, has
also instructed the city council of Sioux
Falls to the same effect. The position
they take is that all the rebatirg which
has been done by the county commits
sioners over the state was without au-
thority Of law. That if the commission
ers have the right TO rebate taxes they
also have the right to raise them, and
this makes them practically the taxing
board of the county, with rights to juggle
taxes to suit themselves regardless ofthe
assessors. This doctrine if it holds will
decidedly change the usual custom which
has prevailed in all counties for years,
and cause great howl to 60 up from
many quarters.

Congressman Martin in his address be-
fore the Mining Mems association at
Lead, touched upon the desirabilty of a
mining department in the government
as we now have an agricultural depart
ment. AS we understand his position
he is in favor of this and also in favor OF
governmental experimental stations in
the different mining sections. The pur-
pose Of these stations would be TO have
the different ores analyzed and ascertain
their varied constituents in order to for
mulate a process of treatment which
would the most successfully extract and
utilize the values therein contained.
This is something very much needed in
all the mining camps in the United
States. IF Mr.. Martin can bring an in.
fluence to bear sufficient to have law
passed establishing such a departm ent
he will have achieved something far bet.
ter than anything be has thus far done
In saying this We do not disparage his
efforts in the past, or speak lightly ol
their results, for he has done nobly, but
a mining department in our government
is in our opinion the crying need of the
hour

Mining Items.

The Bear Spring Water Co. have been
heard from and announce that they will
start work on their placer as soon as the
frost is out of the ground. They propose
to employ up to date placer machinery
and will put on large force.
The Puma Mining company will add
40 stamps to their present 40, making so
stamps. They will make some other
changes about the mill making it first
class and up to date in every particular
and be ready to start up in short time.
A new smelter will be built at the
Rambler mine in Wyoming which will
cost 100000. The mine has for several
years been shipping rich copper ore and
has developed large bodies ofgood grade
material bearing the red metal. We
congratulate that camp on having re-
ceived an influx Of capital sufficient TO
develop and disclose the merits Of the
mines in that district, and only wish We
could say the same for the richer and
worthier district we live in.
We have been shown in the last few
days several samples Of what is thought
to be pitch blende, the ore from which
radium is extracted. 1t is dark, nearly
black ore, with resinous luster and is
very heavy. 1t will be sent east to be
tested by a skillful chemist. This may
or may not be exactly the right material
but as we have in the southern Hills
about every other kind of ore that is
named in the list, there is no reason
why we should not find the ore of ra.
dium.

Custer for the last few days returned

starting work at the Saginaw mine. Af

pany will run cross cut, drift to cut the
three different veins which run through

big money into the mine. That is al
right.

Russia has torn down her pavilion and
surrendered her space at the worlds fair,
and will not exhibit. We regret to hear
of the withdrawal Of so great a nation
from our exposition, but in the end We
think that she will discover that it is
Russia and not America which has been
the greatest looser by this action. There
is no doubt that among the rank and file
in the United States that the balance OF
sympathy lies on the side of Japan in the
contest which is now going on in the far
east, but this does not justify so great a
nation in an act so childlike and small.
Russia has many friends in this country
and our nation has declared her neutral.
ity, which we hope and believe will be
borne out in good faith. While this is
so, Russia has no just cause for such a
step, and we think she will regret her
hasty decision when it is too late. Who
ever thought the great bear could be SO
sensitive.

10Th. His remarks were mainly in ex-
planation of the amendment to the
homestead law as applied to the forest
reserves. This amendment has been

before and need not be repeated at this

On Monday and Tuesday of this week
week a great storm swept across the states
of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. The dispatches proclaim that
it is the worst they have experienced in
many years. The snow is piled high,
traffic was at stand still, telegraph and
telephone lines down, and great damage
has been the result in every department
of business. We know not why this por-
ton of South Dakota should be favored
above all the states of the east and the
south, but it is a fact nevertheless, for
here the sun shines fair, the ground is
bare and the roads are dusty.
