SOME PuzzLING QUESTIONS.
A Few Conundrums in the Interest
Of the South Dakota Taxpayers.

Webster Reporter and Farmer:
When the time came to tell the
people of the capital question, the
Mitchell people had two argu-
ments-the new building and the
location of Pierre away from the
center of population. They had
used these two to the fullest ex-
tent.
Then came the Pierre support
ers and showed that the people of
the state own hundreds and hun
dreds of thousands of acres of
public land that would be affected
by the change of capital.
The people saw that these
lands donated to the state by the
general government were to be
some day the stats greatest re-
soUrse.
"iKhey saw that these lands, or
rather the income therefrom,
would some day bear the greatest
part of the states expenses, and
taxes would be eht down to
almost nothing.
They saw to remove the capital
away from Pierre would be to
strike value from their own lands.
They saw that if they voted in
favor of capital. removal they
voted truth to the lies circulated
by Mitchell, that the part OF the
state lying north of the north line
pt Dawson county and west of
ehe Jim river was nothing but a
barren waste.
They saw that in doing this
hey were coudemring their own
property.
The people commenced to draw
some conclusions of their own on
she capital question, and began
70 do some talking of their own.
The croaking of the Mitchell sup
boTters was drowned in swarm
bf questions that were immediate
y proponnded to them.

There is little river trading

the people in wild spirit OF pro-

Dakota. There isn't a decent
building in the place, anel the
capitol is an "o1d barn. not fit for
human habitation, in which the
members of the legislature catch
their death of colds every ses sion.
The Mitchell people go OH ;and

Why, if we vote for Mitchell,
don't we vote against the value of
these lands?
Who is benefited by moving
the capital to Mitchell other than
the holders of Mitchell real es-
tate?
1T the state capital enhances
the value of Mitchell property,
why won't it enchance the value
OF that vast body of land owned
blythe state lying near Pierre?
If the land around Pierre is so
valueless, why is it that thous-
ands of American citizens have
within the past year taken up
homesteads across the river?
Why do the Mitchell papers IN
their telegraph 'colums speak OF
the almost phenomenal growth of
the country between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills?
Why is this land any different
from the Rosebud reservation,
which Joins it on the south, and
has already many times as many

The run OF fish fell Off materially
Sunday night and receipts were poor
at all Of the packing houses yester-
day. The decreased run did not worry
the packers who were glad of the op-
portunlty to give their employees
rest. For six days the packing houses
had been running overtime. but yes
terday afternoon all of the fish docks
were cleaned up. It was reported last
evening that new run Of fish was
outside the river and 1t is expected
these fish viii enter today or tomorrow.
The gillnetters selners and trappers
all Jared poorly yesterday, indicating
that there were few fish In the river.
The falling Off in the run is not sur
prising, in view Of the fact that the
fish are not yet developed. Experts
consider 1t remarkable that the salmon
came in as soon as they did and have
looked for a falling off. The next run
of fish will probably last until the end
of the season.
