TreasErer's Good Record.

State Treasurer Collins has completed
his self-imposed task of relieving the
state OF all bonded Indebtedness. By
PERSISTENT efforts he learned where all
the outstanding bonds were and after
hard work he has succeeded in taking up
every one aud saving the state gthou.
OF dollars that would otherwise
have to be paid out for interest. Since
last Juns he has retired bonds TO the
amount of $287 900, some of which had
more than three years to run aud bear
ing interest at 4 and AZ per cent
Figuring closely and Juggling with
totals IN a manner that would win
admiration from Inauda, the marvellous
French calculator, Mr.. Collins held out
apreminm bait to the bondholders and
last Saturday he made his final deal by
retiring $4,000 which, under other cir.
cumstances, would continue to draw
interest for nearly three years more.
When Mr.. Collins became state treas
urer he said he would make a record,
tie has done SO. Very quietly he
accomplished the huge task he under.
took-to relieve the state of all indebt.
edness before his term expired. His
first stroke of successful fiuanciering
was the retiring of $92, 500 of ~refunding
bonds. These were taken up July /,
1903, although they would not mature
till Nov. /, 1912. The interest saved
the state ON this deal alone noun to
$50, 2l6 81 less $50 paid as a premium,
and the total mourt saved in the
retiring of all state bonds is $43, 80 so.
In addition there is a saving of 1858. so
in brokerage fees, Mr.. Collins having
closed the deal himself.
Thus the year 1906 closes with the
state free from debt and with almost
$4,000 still remaining in the bond
interest fund which can be transferred
to any Of the other funds where it NAV
be needed This is a Christmas present
from Nh. Collins to the people of South
Dakota and one that is thoroughly
appreciated. Daring his term of office
Mr.. Collins has more than fulfilled his
duties, He hos gone outside his regular
work to accomplish the task of relieve
ing the state foom debt. His admins.
has been marked with a careful
regard for his obligations to the people
aud the state and he has won admira-
ton from both When he retires from
he will leave a splendid record,
and exlmrle for his successor to follow.
The thanks Of every citizen In the state
are extended TO Mr.. Collins-and he

A throwing stick" throwing
board" or spear thrower." as It Is
sometimes called. is a contrivance for
casting a javelin or harpoon, which Is
employed by various savage races.
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos. among whom Its use is al
most universal. Roughly speaking. II
Is a narrow grooved board a foot or so
long. with n end cut into a handle
and the other provided with a stud or
spur for the butt OF the spear to rest
against. 1t Is used thus: Grasping the
handle as he would a sword. the nan
fits the shaft Of the spear into the
groove. with the butt resting against
the stud. steadylng the spear with the
finger. Then. extending his arm and
bending back his hand till the spear
lies horizontal. he aims at the mark
and propels the weapon by q quick
forward jerk Of the stick. In this way
I have see Eskimo boys casting their
forked javelIns at wounded waterfowl.
