Lincoln county has followed the ex-
ample set by Sanborn in years past by
the county commissioners appropriate
ing 800 toward an exhibit at the
Mitchell corn palace. This is the
proper thing to do. 1t is too much to
ask a few men to give all the money
besides their time and work for an ex-
hibit that advertises and benefits
everybody. The Aurora county board
contemplate doing the same thing.
Sioux Falls Press: An enthusiastic
banker Of Mitchell yesterday tele-
phoned to a friend in this city that
n farmer near that town had just
finished threshing his crop of wheat
and sold it to a Mitchell grain dealer.
That the wheat averaged just twenty
three bushels to the acrc and brought
50 cents per bushel. 1880 per acre
for one seasons product is fair up
here in South Dakota.
The new Widman hotel in Mitchell
is fast approaching completion and it
is expected to have it in readiness for
the corn palace festival. When fin
ishcd it Will be a haDdsomer struc-
ture than the Cataract at Sioux Falls

and the Evans at Hot Springs the
finest hostelry in the state. The pro-
posed capitol building of granite is al
SO rapidly approaching completion and
its u beauty also. 1t cost the city
$4,000.
White Lake Standard: While in
Charles Mix county last week we Wis
tied with Glad Smith who moved
from Willow Lake township, Brule
county about two and one-half years
ago. Mr.. Smith has one of the finest
farms in that section of country and
we were shown through an apple and
plum orchard on his place which is
one of the best we have cver seen in
Dakota. Mr.. Smith is an excellent
farmer and his crops this year are far
above the average for this section.
Let the prairie chickens alone.
They are the only game bird native to
the state. Give them as long a lease
of life as possible. AS a food assest !
they are the most valuable game bird
on the American continent. With
proper protection they will give the
farmer many a tootnsome mess for
years t. come. The excuse that ''tilc
town fellows will come out and kill
them all Off" if you don't is nc excuse |
at all. The birds are strong of wing
and naturally wild by September l and
the best shot among the "town dudes
can't make any serious inroads on the
number after that time. The birds
belong to the state: they are in a
sense migratory: belong to no man.
Protect them from your own inclina-
tions and the temptation to violate the
law of propagation as we'll as the law
Of man will be lessened. Keep hunt
ers off your land entirely, if you wish,
but wait until September l before
Going any hunting your self.
