the admiration OF every beholder,

There hre rcore of reasons why an
agricultural fair should be held in this
city next fall, and we hope that some
OF them will seem so cogent as to cause
tn. matter to be taken up 10y
our citizens as business proposition
Fruit Day was formerly big event
with the people Of Canon CRY, and
fair. lasting week. which il only an
enlargement of the same idea, should
not be equally successful II the mat
ter Of county fair is taken up in
practical way We believe il can be
carried 10 Z gratifying contamination.
In all OF those things that are nee
essary for Z notable display OF the pro-
duct- Of field. orchard. dairy. garden
and stfiliAted indust les We have an
abundance OF the very best in the land ;,
and TO these may be added the myriad
articles that enter SO largely into the
domestic economy which are iabricaI ed
by the skiliful hAndiwork OF the me-
chAnic- and artisans OF the community
and the devotees of the household arts.
Rocky Ford attracts thousands OF
visitors svery year by means of its
Melon Day" celebration. and there is
no apparent reason why Canon City
should not be equally successful with
mn agricultural fair having q more
diversified and interesting program Of
entertainment. By long pull. T.
strong pull and pail altogether Canon
City and vicinity can have fair this
fall that y III do US proud.

WHEAT CROP.
Beadle the Banner County East
of the Missouri River in
South Dakota.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press has pub
lished a report made up by the large
elevator companies OF the estimated
average of bushels per acre in the differ.
ent counties in Minnesota and North
and South Dakota. In South Dakota
Beadle county stands at the head OF the
list, except the estimate mazda for what
little wheat is raised in the valleys of
Lawrence county. The record stands:
Beadle county, condition fine, percen-
tage 100, average bushels per acre, 25;
Codington, 10; Hutchinson, Is; Clay,
20; while Dawson is estimated at 10,
and it will be interesting for the CAPT
tai boomers TO see the estimate made by
these same grain men, entirely desinter-
ested, of Hughes county at 10 bushels
per acre.
Clate Tinan may not like to see dis
interested elevator men placing the
yield of wheat and the average bushels
per acre of Hughes county exactly the
same as Dawson county, but they have

quoted by the Mitchell Republican,
which makes it "a scrap of literature
coming from MITCHELL"
I'VE believe in being fair and honest
to ourselves first, and not have future
generations cuss us for being SC foolish
as to locate the capital away mp there
in an attempt 70 bamboozle some pros
pective land buyer"
Here's another ''scrap of literature
coming from Mitchell" for it was sent
out through an interview in the
Mitchell Gazette, and with its emphatic
Endorsement:
at is highway robbery TO induce men
to settle over there west of the Tooth
meridian with the expectation of max
ing a living"
This is another sample "scrap repub-
lished in the Mitchell Republican and
and Endorsed by it:
These Pierre fellows make a holler
about hurting the state by removing
the capital from hat inaccessible place,
where population is scarce and prairie
dogs hold full sway"
And SO we might 90 on piling up
scraps of literature coming from
Mitchell" knocking the western half of
this state; but what's the use? Isn't
this sufficient TO show that Mr.. Cald-
well did not overstate the facts when he
said in his Sioux City Journal inter-
view that Gin much Of Mitchell's liter
allure the trans Missouri country Is
called an alkali waste, gumbo knobs

and u aggregation of prairie dog
towns?"
If MI. Tinan will still deny this accu.
sation against literature sent out by
Mitchell, let us quote from his very own
paper, the Kimball Graphic, In a COM
parison of western South Dakota with
other states in the matter Of rainfall.
Mr.. lyman said editorially:
What a fool proposition to compare
q Kentucky, an Ohio or an Iowa with
the wind-swept, arid, t~reeless plains
crying for moisture at the foothills Of
the Rocky mountain slope"
O, no-there's no knocking of "any
part OF the state in such literature as
that ground out authoritatively by this
Mitchell Islander mill.
And Mitchell cannot shirk response
bality for the outrageous knocking
against western South Dakota which
done by her orators, Messrs. Bran
eon and Bromley, in the recent Canton
debate. Her p~artisuns applauded them
20 the echo, and the Mitchell Republi-
oonI gave their ISLANDERS this indorse-
''oQf people were exceedingly jubli.

raska country is, which the Souvenir
Of Mitchell declares is even better
than western South Dakota, the follow
ing is printed III Mitchell organs, taken
from "A Nebraska paper of ten years
ago:
:" The report of destruction, distress
want and starvation in the western
counties OF Nebraska are truly pitiable
and heartrendering. Thousands Of set
tiers have left thu country but there are
thousands remaining who are too poor

Nebraska Is unfit for agriculture, aud
II Is wrong TO induce eastern p ople who

And here are just IA few miscellane-

other supporters OF Mitchell. One of
them says:

kNOCKERS-ORGAN ORATORS
Calls Answer to C1ate's ChaI-
1enge to Produce A1ka1i and
Gumbo Literature.

In a recent interview in the Sioux
City Journal OF the capital removal
question, +. w. Caldwell, of the Pierre
press bureau, said:
Mitchell is charged with knocking
the western half of the state in order TO
show that it is unfit for agriculture,
and that, therefore, her accessibility is
permanent; and in much of her litera-
ture the trans Missouri country is
called an alkali waste, gumbo knobs
and an aggregation of prairie dog
towns.
In rebuttal of this charge, G.. r
Tinan, of the Mitchell press bureau,
said in a letter to the Journal:
Now, as a matter of fact, Cal can
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-08-04

not produce a scrap Of literature coming
from Mitchell making any such state
ments about any part Of the state"
Well, lets see: Here's an extract
from an editorial in the Mitchell
Gazette, which certainly is entitled to
acceptance as IA scrap OF literature
coming from Mitchell" In speaking
Of the Pierre country, which surely is
a part of the state" the Gazette calls
it.
1.-The same old range country, the
same old prairie dog, wolf bounty,
brand inspection, roundup, cowboy
and gumbo knobs of fourteen years
ago"
The Souvenir of Mitchell" a special
publication fathered by the Mitchell
capital committee, is likewise to be
accepted as "a scrap of literature com
ing from.Mitchell. IL declares:
Nebraska lies directly south OF
South Dakota. The five counties bord-
ering the north line of the state in its
east portions are almost identical III
soil, climate features and population
with the adjacent Tx South Dakota
counties. West of these counties the
difference between the two states, if
any, from an agricultural point of view
is i'm Nahraska'S favor

liant over the debate, aud the gentle
men who represented Mitchell received
hearty congratulations for their splen-
did addresses"
And what was it hat these gentle
men said which secured such vocifer-
rous applause ana such cordial congrat-
ulations from the Mitchellites? Let us
take Mitchell's own reports Of the
debate as authority for the knocks in
which they INDUCED, so there can be no
allegation OF partisan Misrepresentation
Of their statements.
Here is something from the Mitchell
Republicans report Of Mr.. Branson's
address:
"Touchi ng on the growth of the CAPT
tai city, Mr.. Branson declared that she
had not kept pace with the develop
ment of the state. The reasons for
falling off ont Pierre way was that the
gumbo hills and flats are not cap able of
sustaining IA population, never have
been and never will be. He declared
that west of Pierre the population of
whites was 5000 and that of Indians
1900, while east of the river the pop
ulation was $4,000. He asked the
question ii we were maintaining a capt.
tai for Indians or white people"
Do you notice that knock about
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1904-08-04

''gumbo fats and hills?' And still Mr..
Tinan declares no "a scrap of litera-
ture" can be produced as coming from
Mitchell. On top of this from the
Mitchell Republican, take the following
from the Mitchell ,Gazette's report of
the debate:
Senator Br~anson, of Mitchell,
opened the debate with a forty minutes
argument that covered most of the
main reasons why Pierre would eve
be within 100 miles of the center of
population of the state, and never
would have any more railroads because
the productive of the section
of South Dakota west from Pierre
would never be sufficient to warrant
any railroad to build there for that
trade
Did you notice that declaration of
Senator Branson, that the of
western South Dakota never would
warrant the building of a railroad? Let
us candidly ask any good, honest, pat
riotic citizen of South Dakota how he
relishes such outrageous knocking as
that; and then let us take up Mr.. Brom-
ley's contribution TO Mitchell's cam
paigu. The Republicans report says
of it:
"Mr. Bromley took up the reserva-
ton settlement, and declared with
honesty he did o consider it an
injustice 10 tell the absolute truth about
the lands. Mr.. BROMLEY said that 10
inches was sufficient to produce crops

and that was all they had ont on the
reservation
The fact is that neither the Republi-
can nor the Gazette does anything like
adequate Justice TO either Mr.. Branson
OF Mr. Bromley, in setting forth full
essence of their denunciations Of the
trans Missouri region. Other reports
might be quoted to show that these
extracts from Mitchell organs are only
mild echoes of the stentorian knocking
that was done. But enough is given
herewith to prove that the whole foun-
dation of Mitchell's campaign for
removal of the capital is the alleged
worthlessness of half our superb state.

Some of Mitchell's purchased
papers in Day county last week were
sent a clipping from Osborn's Spirit
of Dakota to use I'M MITCHELL inter
est in this county. The best answer
to that article is given by Dad
Osbon himself in last weeks Spirit
of Dakota. We reproduce.
IN THE LIGHT OF PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE.
80. Nj. Osbon, of the Howard
Spirit, has thrown up the sponge in
regard to booming the Mitchell
capital removal question. He says
that it is a dead issue with him
henceforth. Carthage News.
Not quite a dead issue, Bro.
Munger, but an issue on which the
voters of Dakota have their minds
pretty well made up. But it was
not that caused us to let up on
removal agitation. Personal inspec-
ton of Pierre, and the section ada
cent, developed the fact that we had
been misled, and had ignorantly
assisted in misleading others, as to
the city and surrounding country.
Instead of a dead, deserted village,
we found a fairly well built, bustl-
ing, hustling business center doing
a fine business with a thrifty region
tributary to it. We came down
from Pierre to Huron with thirty
homesteaders who had taken up
claims, some of them 40 miles west
of Pierre.
'They looked like men who could
speak the truth, on sufficient provo
cation, and they said they were
going back to bring out their fami-
lies and build on their claims before
cold weather.
"If the reservation actually settles
up, the strongest reaso we ever had
or heard, for removable center of
population argument-will have
ceased to operate.
"The Spirit has, in the past, dis
cussed that portion of the state as it
looked and was thirty five years, ago
and as it was painted by artists not
wholly unprejudiced. Henceforth
The Spirit will treat it in the newer,
and truer, light of actual observar
tion Of present conditions. If there
is anything in the plain truth which
Pierre can turn to advantage she is
entitled to it.,
Mitchell is a beautiful town.
She is located in a beautiful section
Of the country, and only forty-fve
from the writer's door, but
both facts combined, and the inmate
.selfshness Of man added to them, do
not justify distraction of her CON-
petitors after one knows the facts.
