MitchcIl's Contest is With
The Watertown Public Opinion
in an article to which reference
is made in another part of to-
days Graphic, closes with this
bit Of advice: The quicker
those Mitchell fellows drop that
"center of population argument
and that center of thickly set
tied portion of the state the
sooner will Mitchell cease to an
tagonize that portion of the state
which has the greater population
than that part which Mitchell
assumes to represent. - 1t
would appear that Public
Opinion is doing some "assum-
ing on it's own accOunt-along
with certain other newspapers
similarly located-while the
truth of it is they represent
themselves only and would like
to prejudice the people in their
locality-into making their cause
their own. Mitchell's main
argument is it's accessibility
from five different directions by
rail and it's location near the
centers,f tae densely populated
part of the state. In a general
way, the thickly populated part
of the state comprises all of it
east of the Missouri river-prac
tically half of it. Whatever
comparisons Mitchell has made
is between it's location and that
of Pierre. 1t is not contesting
the seat of government with
Watertown nor Aberdeen, nor
Redfield nor Huron, and would
readily accord to either of the
last three named any of its own
arguments were any of them
now pitted against Pierre. The |
managers of the Mitchell capital
cam paign are no fools and fully
recognize the folly of antagoniz
ing any portion of the state,
from the Black Hills to Big
Stone lake They are especially
as mindful perhaps OF the i'm
portance in population, com mer-
call life and prospects of the
counties comprising the north
half of the state east Of the
Missouri as Public Opinion itself.
AS stated, Mitchell's contest is
with Pierre and the millions of
acres OF unoccupied land west of
| it-not with any part of the old
settled part of the state where
nearly 350,000 Of its 1000 |
people have their homes. And |
the fact that Mitchell could |

when the removal of the capital

sufficient ground for every claim
made for it on these points how
ever distasteful it may be for a
few newspapers, who by their
puerile and captious criticism
and dog-in- the manger attitude,
seek to place Mitchell in a false
position before the people in the

have not always had the advantages of

times given to drinking too much
liquor, they make fairly good citizens,

roughly handled by federal artillery,
and we were soon without horses and
very much depleted in the matter of
men to man the guns. The poor fell

breath, while the blood was pouring N
torrents from his side, and as the cap

MOUNTAIN climbing
GANY AMERICANS TO ENJOY
DANGEROUS SPORT IN ALPS.
Iest Guides Already Engaged to Take
Adventurous Parties Up to
the Lofty Peaks-The
Climbing Foot.

The picturesque, the lofty, the awful
Alps prove q perpetual fascination for
the daring and venturesome. The snow
crowned peaks challenge the climber,
and the climber faces fatigue, and dan
ger and death often in order that the
proud peaks head may become a foot
stool and the vantage point from which
the surrounding peaks and country may
be viewed. The Americans have long
since learned to love the Swiss scenery,
to hunger for the invigorating mountain
air, to be eager for the thrill of the rocky
ascent and the graphing with the perf}s
of snow-covered slopes and treacherous
glaciers. This year bids fair to see
Switzerland alive with Americans. Snow
has already disappeared below the 5000
foot mark. The best Of the mountain
guides have already been engaged for the
season by well-known climbers, and
their trial will mark all of the lesser and
greater peaks even perhaps to the muir
derous Matterhorn, which has claimed
more victims than any other Alpine
height
To.one who has never scaled the dizzy
heights and looked out upon the marvel
Gus scenery which lies spread out before
him, there is slight conception of the
thrilling experience. An EnglishmaD
who had climbed to the ridge of Mis-
chabel, whose dome is 1898 feet high,
speaks of it as wonderful, past all
