ON THE CAPITOL BUILDING
Webster World Sets Forth a Strong
Argument Concerning Need of
New CAPITOL Building.
New Capitol Building.

Webster World: The proposition
that undoubtedly appealed most
stongly to our legislators in deciding
to resubmit the capital question was
the fact that sooner or later a cap
itol building would have to be erect
ed bv the state, and that when the
state builds it should erect a build
ing to be proud Of, n to compare
with other states capitol buildings
and which would be a monument to
the thrift and enterprise of our
growing state.
And when the proposition was con-
sidered of placing a hundred thous-
and or several hundred thousand dol
lars OF the states money into a
building at Pierre, in a town which
is isolated and through which there
is no travel, where no eastern in
vestors nor the travelling public
would ever get a glimpse of such an
enterprise on the part Of the state,
in a town whose total valu alton
would not be Of the value Of the
state building alone, and whose
bonded Indebtedness is OF such a
magnitude that it is doubtful wheth-
re the interest can annually be
raised,-it Influenced the members OF
the legislature to almost unanimous
ly favor the resubmission Of the
question.
The taxpayers should remember
that the state will sometime in the
future have to erect a capitol build
ing. If the capital remains at
Pierre, it will have to be done at
once, As the present frame building
is unsafe aud a constant menace to
the safety of the records of the state. |
II Mitchell wins, the erection Of a
building can be delayed for twenty I
years IL it is deemed expedient, as
the large city hall being constructed
at Mitchell, which will be donated
for the use Of the state as Il capitol, +
will be a stone fire proof building,
amply large for the use of the state.
This should be born in mind til at
when the state builds it will and
should use South Dakota rock.
Sioux Falls granite has been proven
to be of the best building stone.
The state %penitentiary is at Sioux
Falls and the ''laborers'' working for
the state at that institution can do
all the work in the quarries and pre-
pare the stone for the building. If
we are not mistaken, some action
has already been taken to have such
work done. Pierre is more than
twice as far from Sioux Falls as
Mitchell. The freight is a matter
Of Importance and one OF the largest
items Of expense to be considered in
the construction of a stone building. |
The freight on this stone to Pierre
would be more than twice the amount
Of freight to Mitchell. We believe
this is a matter of enough import
nee to be considered by the voter in
deciding where our capitol should
be located. 1t is not only the Access
utility Of Mitchell as far as the in
dividual is concerned, but as far as
other features are concerned that
ought to be considered by the tax
payers Of the state.

One OF the pleasant chapters in DR..
Easfman's Indian Boyhood' deals
With AN Indian Sugar Camp" While
maple sugar was most commonly
made, sugar was also secured from the
birch. ash and box-elder. The birch
and ash sugars were dark colored and
somewhat bitter, and had medicinal
properties. The box-elder yielded a
beautiful white sugar. whose only
fault was that there was never enough
Of 1t.
The maple trees were tapped, a
hardwood chip was driven into the
incision to serve as spout, and a
birch-bark basin was set to catch the
sap. The sweet juice was boiled down
in kettles hung over the open fire. The
sugar was run In molds OF birchbark,
hollow canes and reeds. and the bills
OF ducks and geese, into cakes OF vari-
GUS forms and sizes. Some OF 1t was
pulverized and packed in rawhide

the governor, heaving a sigh. I'll
tell you how it is. My wife packed that
trunk. She expected to come with
me, but was prevented at the last
moment. To my certain knowledge
she put in enough to fill three trunks
the way man would pack them. II
