Negotiating for Telephone Line.

+. NJ. Stewart, secretary and general
manager of the Buffalo Gap Mutual Tele-
phone line, writes that his company are
negotiating the purchase of the old Bell
line from this city to Hot Springs. This
line has been out of repair since Novem-
ber last, and there is not enough bust.
ness over the line to induce the Bell
company to set new poles and repair the
line. The Buffalo Gap lines run to Hot
Springs and if they add this line they
will place phones in the houses along the
line, practice the Bell company did not
encourage.
Mr.. Stewart states that the Buffalo Gap
lines give elegant satisfaction. They use
No. IA wire, bridging phones with 1000
ohm generators that cost from eleven to
fourteen dollars according to finish, and
in place of poles they use 2x4s about 10
feet long bolted onto the fence posts
along the line. Between fences they set
good pitch posts and bolt on longer 2x4s.
They do this because good pitch post
will last longer than any pine pole and
for them it is not SO expensive.

Mitchell as O "Knocker.n

Unless Mitchell is unlike every other
community on the face of the earth,
which is not likely, it contains within
its limits one or more men who are al.
ways on the 'grough." The town is all
wrong and will never amount to any
thing, and they do everything they can
to hamper and hinder progress. Again
unless Mitchell is unlike every other
community on the face of the earth, the
residents Of that city who desire its ma
terial prosperity at least feel that they
would like to take these few individuals
by the slack of the trousers and fire them
out bodily. In state, the different
cities, towns and communities stand in
the same relation to the whole state as
does the individual to the town, and in
South Dakota Mitchell is taking the pos
ition SO far as the whole state is concern
ed as does the above described crouch
er" to the town. While Mitchell denies
knocking" in the state any man who
will read the literature used by the two
capital contestants will haye to admit
that Pierre is advocating the policy of
growth and development and a grand
future for the state. Mitchell, that the
state has reached its limit ofgrowth, that
the population will always be in a small
section, and that the largest part of the
state will never contain any population
worth considering. Which policy of
these two will the majority of the people
sustain? That of optimism or that Of
pessimism. If the people generally do
not apply the same policy to the present
case where it is in their power to do so,
as they would like to do in the cases of
the "grouching" individuals in their
communities, they have changed much
in their ways.-Pierre Capital-J Jourual
