1t anyone talks expenses in
removing the capital to Mitchell
tell him you are from Missouri
and must be shown AS mat.
ter of fact it will not cost a cent
to the state. Mitchell will gladly
bear the expense of moving the
state records and office furniture
and that is all there is to remove.
Mitchell will also furnish to the
state fine granite building with
fireproof vaults to hold all the
records and the supreme court
library, and large enough to
accommodate the legislature and
all the state officers. This build.
ing the state can have until such
time as it is deemed expedi-
ent to build capitol building.
Where, then, is the expense of
removal? There is none, but
there will be large saving, and
if the capital remains at Pierre
and a new capital building is not
at once erected, a great deal of
expense will be necessary to
build vaults to safeguard the
state records, which are in
danger of complete loss by fire
at any time. Should new cap
itol be built, which Pierre will
try her best to have done, it will
cost not less than 81, 100000. AS
the land which the state has for
building the capitol is not now
available this would mean the
issuance of 81 100000 of bonds,
which would bear at least 4 per
cent or $40, annual interest.
Suppose the capitol was built
next year and the capitol lands
held for len years, which should
be done in order TO get the
benefit of the increased value.
and it would cost the snug sum
of 100000 in interest. The
building which Mitchell offers TO
the state will suffice for it's needs
for ten years or MORE ii it is not
deemed advisable for the state
to build before that time.-Fal-
ton Advocate.

last week and measured off the
following on the departure of
Marty Martens, who has come
up to work in the Erlandson &
Johnson store:
The farmers are in mourning,
Thei chickens never lay,
The cows do look 80 homesick
And won't eat any hay,
The weather looks 90 cloudy
And all goes wrong out door,
And the farmers are down hearted,
Since Marty left the store
druggist stepped from out his door
And looked upon the street,
A long parade was passing
His heart with pleasure leaped.
But when he saw twas farmers
He says and all galore,
It's the farmers out a-mourning
Cause Martyrs left the store.

trude Kelley are spending a week
at Simpson Park, having gone
down on their outing yesterday.
The HERALD ADVANCE has
some specimens of fine growing
grain-wheat, oats, barley, flax,
timothy, clover and bronze grass,
which were picked up by Mail
Carrier John Hamling on his
route. The specimens show
just what are on thousands of
acres of Grant county farms this
year, and show a wonderful
growth. Never anything in the
line of small grain has been
raised in this county to surpass
the present growth, and if the
harvest is attained without hail
or other unusual calamity the
county will raise the biggest
crop of small grain it has ever
harvested.
County Surveyor Crowl has
been engaged for a week or two
resurveying Vernon township
and marking the section corners
and quarters. AS he finds the
corner he marks the same with
granite posts 9 feet 4 inches in
length and 6 inches square,
marked with the sections. Mr..
Crowl has a large mum Der of the
original survey stakes which he
has unearthed from down below
where the air could get at them,
and which have been kept in an
almost perfect state of preserva-
ton though they were put in as
markers some 39 years ago.
The stakes are largely of oak,
and are all pointed and charred
with fire, this being done to pre-
serve them. Mr.. Crowl, short
time ago surveyed most of the
inside sections of Stockholm
township.
Announcements have been re-
ceived of the marriage of Mr..
