GREAT SALT Lake.
No Living Thing IN 1t and No Danger
of Being Drowned.


of Being Drowned.
The water of the Great Salt Lake
Utah, is clear and transparent,
with bottom of fine white sand
and margin of ipcrusted salt. 1t
is one Of the purest and most con
centrated brines in the world. Its
waters give sustenance to no liv
| ing thing; there is not the smallest
| insect or worm to frishten the
most timid bather, and the bath.
| ing is the most perfect sea bathing
in the whole OF North America or
in Europe. No human body can
sink in il. Your body will per
sistently rise up, the shoulders
above the surface. or you may
even sit down in it. Its wonder
ful buoyancy must be experienced
to be realized. No knowledge OF
swimming is necessary; one may
enter the lake without the slight
est fear; all you l,aye to do is Ia
lie down and float. But to swim
in it, that is another thing. When
your hands are put under the wa
ter to take stroke. your feet. like
Banquo's ghost, will not go down.
1t is impossible to keep more than
one end OF your body under water
at time. Nearly half n million
people bathe in the Great Salt
Lake every year; they come iron,
all over the world, AMI tourists

Know Your own State!

Nermillion Republican: And you
can get the information IN condensed
but correct form by perusing a book
let recently published by the Mitchell
capital committee for general distrib-
utation. We believe if a copy of this
publication, bearing the title at the
head Of this paragraph, were placed
in the hands of every thoughtful voter
OF the State and its contents care
fully read by him, the majority in
favor Of the removal Of the capital
from Pierre to Mitchell, would reach
nearer 10000 than the 10000 we con-
tidentially expect will be recorded
next November. The pamphlet is fill
ed with facts and figures that cannot
help but convince all conservative
and fair-minded citizens that Nit
chell's claims for capital honors are
founded on bedrock reasons, not one
of which can be successfully refutcu
by the most able and ardent advo-
cate OF Pierre's collapsing cause.
Speaking Of these valuable maps. the
Sioux Falls Journal remarks:
These maps are reproductions CT an
official atlas recently issued, hence
arc absolutely correct. The pham-
phlet is Of inestimable value to every
body, whether interested in capital
removal or not. While issued by Nit
chell, and copies of which can be OBJ
tained by writing to Mitchell, yet
Pierre supporters should have copy
in their possession as the plates will
prove everything they can honestly
lay claim to. The maps are OF sutfic-
lent value so they should be in every
school-rOom in the State, as pupils
can learn more from them in a half
dozen inspections than a whole term
Of school could enlighten them in the
old way. Inasmuch, as these pam
phlets are free, school boards will be
wise if they secure copies before the
supply is exhausted.

1850 ACRES NOT ENOUGH
Movement to Enlarge Homesteads
West of the Missouri to $40 Acres

Pierre'S main argument for retain.
ing the capital has been in that time
the western half of the state would
contain us great population as the
eastern part. This has been denied
by Mitchell and all faYoring removing
the capital because it is an acknowl-
edged fact by everyone except Pierre
spectators that natural conditions
forbid any considerable degree Of ag-
ricultural operations between Pierre
and the Black Hills. AS Il distinc-
lively grazing section. small stock
ranches will be the rule instead Of the
I60-acre farms characteristic OF thn
greater part of the eastern half of TIL:
state.
The subioined special to the Min
neapolis Journal recognizes this long
accepted fact and sustains the Nit.
chell end Of the principal issue Of the
campaigns:

tial residents OF South Dakota are ar

the approaching session of congress
with the object OF having the home
stead laws amended so that those who
make entry OF public lands in the part
OF South Dakota known as the ceded
Sioux lands, embracing many millions
of acres and extending from the Mis-
souri, river to the Black Hills, can
enter $40 acres instead Of l6O, as ut
present.:
Il is figured that if settlers are per-
mitted 10 enter on such tracts they
will have sufficient land to enabJe
them to engage in cattle raising on a
moderate scale, and that with small
punches OF cattle and such crops as
they could raise each season, they
would be assured Of a good living ana
enabled to reside permanently on
their hOmeSteadS.
Farming has met with failure there
/ it is asserted. The soil is excellent,
but the rainfall, except in limited
areas, has not been sufficient to ma
ture crops season by season.
The proposed measure is identical
with one introduced in the last ses-
sion of congress by Representative
llinkaid of Nebraska and which be-
came a law, though it applies only to
certain large tracts in western Ne
braska, which have been settled and
unsettled several times.

Squire Alfred JOneS's Court

The case of the wealth

Squire Alfred Jones's court, at Nc
Dowell Saturday, and upon the
hearing of the same, the justice i'm
posed fine of $50 and costs. j.

Staunton was witness in the case.
We have been informed that Mr.
Hiner has the matter Of appeal un-

Several other cases came before
the justice at this term, one OF
which we mention because the de-
PENDANT himself says there is not
another on record like it.
A party Of the east side boozed
up on cider and went to a big

called the cider man went forward,
his enthusiasm prompting him to
take a hand with the preacher IN

" necessary to state that he and
the minister did not agree as to
certain forma|ities. and therefore
the matter came to court. The re-
suit was that Brother Apple Juice

There is a good reason for it, yet
that does not make the occurrences
