Do NOT LIKE OUR PURE FOOD LAW
Chicago Wholesale Houses Object to Some
Stipulations- Confer With Gov. Elrrod.

c. f. Newton, representing the firm
Of Reid, Murdock & Co., and other Chi
cago wholesale houses, was in Pierre
recently for a conference with Gov.
Elrod in regard to a certain provision
Of the pure food law which goes into
effect the 1st of July. 1t appears that
the trouble is with the construction
which z. w. Small, the state pure food
commissioner places on section II Of
.he act. This section is:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
TO sell offer or expose for sale any
article of prepared foods unless true
name Of the manufacturer and the To-
cation OF the factory where such arti-
cles Of food is prepared is plainly
printed or stenciled on the packages,
box, can, cartoon or other container." Il"
Commissioner Small construes this
strictly and demands that it be COM
piled with literally. The large whole
sale houses ask for slightly different
culing. Their contention is that this
provision in its intent is to fix the re-
sponsibility where products not up TO

standard are offered for sale. They
say the brands Of their houses do this;
that they secure the products some
times from one factory and some
times from another; that they take
the product Of such factory and affix
their brands on the packages, and that
in cases of impure foods they are re-
spOnsible; that they have built up a
trade on their special brands and that
to demand that the factory brand be
placed on the goods will mean fre-
quent changes of labels and damage
fhe trade they have built up on their
brands of goods; that the state will
gain nothing by strict construction
of the law, and is amply protected by
the brands of their firms, as they will
be compelled to stand back of any
product which they SO mark, regard
less Of the particular factory which
puts it up.
Gov. ElrOd recommended a confer
ence with Prof. Sheppard Of the agri-
cultural college and Commissioner

take control the state regulations will
with what they will demand DR..
Ramsey has agents all over the state,
and from their reports he declared last
winter that more than Is per cent OF
the herds in the state east of the Mis-
souri, river were infected. That did
not mean that so great a per cent of
the cattle were infected. but that the
disease existed in herds TO that ex-
tent. 1t is on this finding that the
radical action is taken. One animal
in herd can spread TIE disease to all
others. ana while it will not show in
summer. when winter comes the eff
fects become apparent. s..
The state regulations, il carried out,
will eradicate the disease, and if it is
not done by state regulation the co.
ernment action will begin. Under pes
ent rulings no railroad will accept cat
tie for shipment unless they have a
clear bill from the state inspector, and
refusal to dip, where ordered, means
failure to secrre the clear bill. and
while cattle without the bill can be
disposed of in the state, the owner or
purchaser will find himself up against
it if he desires to ship. and compl-
ance is the easiest way to get along.
which will be found out by the pro
testers before they get very far along
in an effort to market their cattle.

GOVERNMENT BACK OF DIPPING LAW
Fight Measure by Cattle Owners rccarcd Mistaka-Vnclc
Sam Demands Endorsement

In number Of counties of the state
organizations have been perfected by
cattle owners TO fight the dipping law
of the last legislative session, passed
for the purpose Of wiping out scabies
al the state. The owners claim that
no scabies exist in their herds and
that it is an imposition on them to
demand dipping on their part.

would take the trouble { write to Dr..
Ramsey Of Fargo n. D.. the represent
atlve OF the bureau of animal industry
for this state, they would find that
they are only Jumping out of the fry
ing pan into the fire by their fight
against the state law. The law was
passed TO meet the requirements of
che rulings Of the department, and for
the purpose Of stopping an absolutely
prohibitive order against the shipment
of live stock out of South Dakota.
The bureau OF animal industry has
South Dakota classed on it's infested
list along with other Northwestern
states, which were all given an oppor-

ENTRY CONTESTS GRAFT GAME.
Settlers to Organize to Protect Selves
From Sharks.

Under the belief that there is in ex-
istence a Syndicate" having for it's
purpose the contesting Of homestead
entries in the ceded portion of the
Rosebud Indian reservation, thus put
ting settlers in that region to great
trouble and expense, the settlers are
taking steps to form a protective or
ganization, with the object Of discour-
aging the wholesale conteSting OF
homestead entries.
1t is proposed by those behind the
movement to form protective asso-
citation to secure as members every
hOmesteader in the ceded lands. Mem
bers:would be required to pay regular
assessments, which would be placed
in fund. ,whi&h would be drawn on
for the defense whenever contest
was instituted against the entry of a
member of the association.
In some instances where contests
have been instituted against the en-
/ tries OF bona-fide homesteaders the
contestants have offered to withdraw
their suits if .the homesteaders would
pay them a satisfactory sum. Rather
than have a cloud on their land. many
of the homesteaders have felt COM
PEELED to pay this "blood money"
When. the organization Of all the
homesteaders is perfected the schem-
ers who are working overtime at the
business Of instituting contests vir-
tually would be forced to abandon the
practice, as the influence and pocket
book Of every homesteader would be
| utilized against them.

South Dakota Sheepmen.
The state sheep breeders and wool
growers convention at Aberdeen was
the largest of its sixteen years of or
ganization. A sheep-shearing exhibi-
ton created great interest. President
Bells annual address stated that
South Dakota sheepmen We're never SO
prosperous. There are nearly half a
million sheep in the state and prices
are the highest they have ever been.
Mr.. Bell, president OF the South Da-
kota Wool Growers and Sheep Breed
ers' association, showed that during
the past year 100000 sheep were
sheared in the state, the average
weight per clip being 6.O6 pounds. In
Ohio 2,Os2,000 sheep were sheared, the
average weight per fleece being $50
pounds.
Despite the heavier f1eeces in South
Dakota, Mr.. Bell said the Ohio sheep
man received more per fleece than the
South DakOtans. and advised better
care Of their sheep on the part OF
South Dakota raisers.

WARNED TO RAzE FENCES
Cattiemen Who Have Enclosed Fed
eral Land Must Give II Up.

Jerry Carleton. chief deputy United
States marshal of this state, is driving
through the cattle district east and
north Of Rapid City for the purpose Of
meeting the large cattlemen who have
been fencing up the range for the last
few years. The report sent oui from
Sioux Falls to the effect that the cat
tlemen Of Western South Dakota had
been or were about to be arrested is
not true. Mr.. Carleton says that the
government will not be severe with
the cattlemen having government land
under fence, for the reason that it has
been common practice for many
years back. They first will be warn
ed, and if they then refuse to comply,
arrests may follow. The range thus
fenced only lately has become valu-
able, owing to the prospective building
Of railroads and the Martin homestead
bill.

A Letter from w. ]. Weir.

After the severe winter for this
country of below zero, we are
now having fine spring weather,
and for the past week the tempera-
ture has ranged from so to 20.
The robins are flying around and
the farmers are busy blowing; one
farmer told me that this was the
first time in five years that he had
failed to plant his potatoes on Feb.
14th, Valentines day. The people of
this country will be very much dis
appointed if the statehood bill fails
to pass, and they are surely entitled
to the many privileges of living in a
state. One great difficulty seems
to be the land question in this
territory, as nearly all the land is
owned by the Indians or intermar-
ried citizens, and according to treaty
is not taxable for 81 years, although
restrictions may be removed by the
secretary of the interior, giving
each individual Indian privilege to
dispose Of his land, provided he is
capable of managing his own af-
fairs, and they are usually smart
enough to skin the white man.
When the lands OF this territory
were appraised by the government
about two-thirds' were classed as
agricultural lands, the balance
being rocky and billy, but / have
travelled over considerable of it,
and I do not believe more than one
third should be classed as good farm
land, but it could be made great
fruit country, especially for peaches
and grapes, there being one species
of wild grapes that grow fully as
large as the Concord in Wisconsin.
Also the pecan nut tree is very
plentiful and profitable.

Colonial Supper.

The colonial supper given by the

evening was very enjoyable affair
and we'll attended. The receipts
were over $40 and everyone pro-
nounced the event one of the best

The hall was decorated with bunt-
ing and flags and even the tables,
loaded down with good things to
eat, were patriotic in appearance
with their borders of red, white and
blue.
Martha Washington welcomed
each guest on arriving and saw that
all were properly cared for.
Pricilla Dolly Madison, Nancy
Hanks and Betsy Ross, attired in
quaint costumes, rendered some old
time songs popular $50 years ago,
and Martha Washington herself
sang a solo that was so we'll receiv-

to an encore.
