fraud" but every one who uses proper
mantles on the flame is thoroughly salts
fed.
The supply of no earlier gas well was
ever affected an iota by opening of a
subsequent WE'LL" made necessary by
increased demand for the gas, nor has
there been the least reduction of the
pressure.
Since the opening of an additional
well a few months ago, to meet the
increased demand, there has been no
hour of any day at which any part of
the service was cut off on account of a
lack of supply, nor will there be. More
gas escapes every day than would be
necessary to heat and light two capitols.
Every piece of machinery is run by a
gas engine. The city runs its electric
light plant by gas engines and it pumps
by gas power throughout the city the
finest water in the state.
Neither the state nor anybody else
would be "enjoined at the drop of a hat
if an attempt was made to put down a

own from the centre of the earth to the
stars, and cannot be prevented from
availing himself of whatever may exist
therein. Anyway, nobody but the Kim
ball Graphic would claim that a sover-
eign state could be enjoined from doing
anything it might desire, so there would
be no difficulty about the state sinking
wells for its capitol gas supply.
The Graphic then says;
"At the price the city now sells the
gas to consumers, nc n could afford
to use it for heating Purposes. 1t would
cost four times the price of coal"
The City of Pierre sells it's gas at a
price so per cent lower than coal gas is
supplied to any city in the United
States. There are many people in
Pierre whose commodious homes were
heated as well as lighted by gas last
winter, without use of a single pound
of coal or other fuel, and the gas bills
for heating, lighting and cooking did
not amount in any case to so much as
$40 per month.
These are a few of the facts of the

case regarding Pierre's natural gas sup
ply, by which it is proposed to " the
state many thousands of dollars for
lighting and heating its capitol.
If Mitchell had such Ii souro as
this natural gas supply, her strikers and
knockers would be shouting it as the
greatest possible argument that could
be made for removal of the capital.
But Pierre has it, and Mitchell hasn't.
And Pierre offers the state direct par
tioipation in this splendid asset among
the states resources, and a consequent
reduction of state taxes thousands of
dollars every year, if the capital shall
remain where it belongs.
