PIERRE'S $4,000 CHALLANGE.

Mitchell says Pierre promises its
people a million dollar capital build
ing in return for their contributions
to the capital campaign fund. Pierre
says it's a lie, and offers to give
5000 to any state charity for any
proof in support of the assertion. 1t
is unnecessary to inquire what
Mitchell promises her people in
return for contributions, for it is a
matter of general knowledge. 1t is
not only the moving of the seat of
government to Mitchell, but the sell
ing of the state capital grounds at a
big price, as well as the erection of
a million dollar building. But for
tunately the voters of the state have
to be consulted and they are sure to
say nay.-Centerville Journal.

KNOCKS HIS W COUNTY.

The Kimball Graphic, whose
editor is in charge of Mitchell's
press bureau, has had another siren
uous spasm of ardor in behalf OF
capital removal. Here is a sample
paragraph:
"In Turner county, 100 acres
properly cared for will afford a man
and his family a splendid sustinance.
West of the Jim river a man needs
800 acres. As one approaches the
Missouri river, he ought to have a
section. When he gets west of Fort
Pierre he can't stay unless he owns
or has the use of several sections"
Brule county, in which Kimball is
situated, is not only west of the Jim
river, where a man needs 800 acres
TO make a living, but it approaches
the Missouri river" SO closely that il
is all but right into it, and therefore a
man requires in that county a whole
section to MAINTAIN his family accord
ing the Graphic. The same may be
said of Charles Mix and BonHomme
counties.
1t has been thought by some in
this campaign that it was a mighty
bad proposition for any South Dako-
tan to malign and SANDER his own
state; what estimate, then, is to be
placed on maligning and s~landering
ones W county.
Perhaps it would be well for the
citizens of Kimball and Chamber
lain, and in fact, the whole popula-
ton of Brule, Charles Mix and Bon
Homme counties, to make up a purse
and buy the Graphic a bit of educa-
ton in common patriotism.
Ii is not likely that anybody in
any of those counties approaching
the Missouri river" is buying extra
of the Graphic to send east
as immigration literature for distri-
to home-seeker excursion par
ties.-Pierre Press Bureau.

LOGIC IN NUT SHELL.

One argument which is being
urged by the Pierre capital cam
paign bureau is well worth attention
by the voters of the state.
The heaviest burden of taxation
is the school tax. To offset this the
state has a large amount of land
which, as oon as it is sold, is turned
into the school fund, and the inter
est used to defray expenses of the
common schools, and the several
institutions of higher learning.
Everything which contributes to
the rise in any part of this land
helps every tax payer in the state.
The location of the capital may
not ina itself effect the price of land
any great extent, but if the capital
is removed from Pierre and placed
Mitchell, the idea will be firmly
established in the minds Of non-resi-
and those who have read only
the Mitchell stories, that the lands
in the western part of the state is
worthless, and the selling value of
the land in that part of the state
-
will be depressed for a long time to
come. Arlington Sun.

T AT $500 EACH

The Mitchell people are getting
desperate over capital matters. Some
of their representatives are making
propositions to buy votes at two dol
lars each. In the start the Mitchell
capital committee gave it out that it
would conduct a clean campaign, but
the methods being used at the pres
emit time would not indicate a desire
to adhere to such a statement

RAINFALL WEST OF RIVER.

RAINFALL WEST OF RIVER.
Our good friends from Mitchell,
who are advocates of the Missouri
iver-desert-country idea, seems to
be rather up against it, when their
statements are brought parallel with
the actual conditions. The idea is
industriously urged, that the annual
rainfall around Pierre is only about
IA inches, and that it is not sufici-
ent for raising anything except cac-
tus. But the statistics of the gov
eminent weather bureau show that
the annual rainfall at Pierre is about
four or FIVE inches more than that.
E. Frank Peterson, in his atlas of
South Dakota, which is recognized
as authority by the Mitchell capital
manager, allows the rainfall through
the section west of Pierre to be two
to three inches less than around the
the capital city, This will give that
section an average of about 141
inches. This is an inch o
than the great grain bearing region
of Assinniboia receives, and about
equal to the rainfall Of the great
grain raising area of eastern Europe
where millions have lived and PROS
pered for centuries. 1t is destined
to be = great grain country, and
many farmers, ever the e~xtravagant
American farmers, have already
proved this and made a success of it.

HAS UNCLE SAM GONE CRAZY.

Population decreasing, half the
country gone to the bow-wows and
the rest beginning to bark" is about
the way the Mitchell accounts of the
northwestern part of this state read
when boiled down. "Postofices in
three of these counties increased in
the last FIVE years from fifteen to
forty" is the quiet rejoinder of the
government statistics. It's a little
thing, but it tells a great deal. If
there are fewer people out there now
than there were five years ago, why
in the name of common sense does
Uncle Sam want to give them three
times as many postofice as they
had thenY Has the old man gone
crazy : Arlington Sun.

BOOSTERS, NOT oCKER

The Bee is of the opinion that the
people of this section of the state,
and other portions of the state as
well, will accomplish more by bend
ing their energies toward the devel-
opement of this section of the state
than by giving aid and comfort to
the city of Mitchell for the state
capital city that has in the last
few months done more to bring the
western section into disrepute over
the land than all the knockers in the
state combined would do in a life
time. Let us bend our energies
toward the development of western
South Dakota and thereby not only
make railroad extension west of the
possible but certain. The switching
of capitals every few years will never
accomplish it. Not enough fares
are paid. belle Fourche Bee.

FALsEHooD OR NONSENSE.

items of figures in support Of its
claim that the state will save its
people from taxation by remov ing
the capital.
One item is as follows, as copied
from Mitchell's official literature:
"If the capital is not removed,
Pierre promises it's citizens that the
next Legislature will appropriate
$l,000,000 for a new capital build
ing in that city"
Even if such promises had been
made, could it be fulfilled without
the vote of two thirds of the legis-
l%atureY Certainly not.
But absolutely no promise ever
was made by Pierre to its citizens
nor to anybody else: and the Pierre
capital committee will pay $500 to
any public charity in the state for
an iota of evidence that any such
promise, or Y the remotest sug-
gestion thereof, ever was made as an
inducement to its citizens to contri-
butte to the capital campaign fund
o. for any other purpose.
The other definite item is as fol-
kws. c0pSed also from Mitchell's
cGssczl Literature

abigail Pierre is willing to accept
the kgures as to this item of
Increased mileoge; but for every
dollar Of this additional expense of
$40 per year, due to retaining the
present location of the capital,
Pierre has demonstrated that it
saves the state from ten to a hun
dred times that per annum by keep
ing the capital where it is now
located.
MISUNDERSTANDING that the
location at Mitchell would save
$l,2S0 each session, in the way of
taxes for Legislative mileage. the
total amount OF such saving for the
past nine sessions would have been
about Sl1.5OO.
Now the fact il, as an Offset to
this, that during that period the
state has collected and turned into
its own treasury more than $4,000,
or a surplus Of $500 as rental from
She United States government for
use Of the capital building for fed
eral court purposes-and Mitchell
hasn't any federal court from which
che stase could thus recoup itself.

SCHOONER RUN DOWN.
Capt. Rnbt. Walton, His Wife and
Two Seanen Drowned.

Oape' thDr. walton, His Wife and
Two Seamen Drowned.
Capt. Robert Walton, his wife and
two seamen lost their lives Wednes-
day night off Barnegat light, when
the United States supply SHIP oaifgoa
cut down the Norfolk lumber schooner
Wilson and Huating. -Four me embers
OF the crew, the mate, whose name is
Peterson, the steward and two sea
meu, were rescued by the Culgoa and
were brought there Friday.
The accident occurred according to
the survivors about o'clock in the
evening. The schooner was 10 miles
west OF Barnegat tacking Off shore
when she was struck by the Culgoa,
which was making for New York.
The steel bow OF the supply ship struck
the schooner nearly amidships and cut
half Way, throwing the smaller vessel
On her beamSend. The Culgoa kept
on at full speed with the intention OF
keeping the schooner fastened to It's
bow until the crew could be rescued.
The gaping hole in the side OF the
sailing vessel was so large, however,
that 1t slid off to one side. A boat
from the Culgoa rescued four men.
No others were seen, and it Is thought
Capt. Walton went below after his
wife when the collision occurred and
that they were both drowned, with
two seamen, who were In their hunks.
The Culgoa stayed py the cap izcd
sooner all night and daylight Thurs
day morning lowered two more boats,
but the sailors were unable to disc over
signs Of life on the wreck. The
schooner Is now believed to be drift
ing about near Barnegat. The supply
ship anchored Off Tompkinsville Fri
day night and landed the sorvivors.
Her bows are badly damaged.
