have his copy of the INDEPENDENT
sent to Hansboro, n. D.. Continuing,
j. r. says: II have been to western
Canada and found a location, and
will move there next fall. / am well
pleased with the country. While the
winters are some longer than in South
Dakota, they are more mild. / visit
ed a sister that has been there five
years and she is well satisfied. / was
in that country five weeks and never
met a more satisfied lot of people in
my life, and it is certainly the place
for a young man to get a start" We
hope that the North Country holds
no disappointment in store for our
friend Wills.
John Daum was down from Oak
wood township last Saturday and in
c%onversing with the Tribune reporter
stated hat he had not seen the Oak
wood lakes so full of water since 1888,
and the surprising part of the whole
thing is the absence of heavy SHOWS
or rainfalls since it froze up last fall.
The only way he could account for
the present condition of the lakes was
that the frost went out so late this
season that all surface water ran off
instead of soaking into the ground.
Notwithstanding that practically all
of the water from the rains and snow
has run off into the rivers, lakes, ETC.,
the ground has not been SO thorough
ly soaked for years as it is this spring.

Tuesday of next week is the date
set for holding the caucuses to elect
to the county convention,
which, in turn, selects delegates to the
state convention at Sioux Falls. In
a state like South Dakota, where a
nomination is equivalent to an cleo
ton, so far as the voter is concerned

preston of his will in regard to the

mary. He might as well send a post
card to the polls as to go and vote.
His great privilege of American
citizenship can only be effective at
the caucuses. 1t all depends upon
the men elected as delegates, the in
structions they receive from the vot-
ers, and how well they obey the wish
of those whom they represent. Don't
neglect the caucuses and then claim
the right to kick one yearand 364days.
See to it that you go to the caucuses
and there help to elect delegates to
the county convention who will select
only such men for the state conven
ton as represent and will stand pat
for your principles. Ifyou believe in
allowing the republican party of this
state to continue under corporation
machine rule, which we hope you do
not, see to it that you elect corporation
machine delegates. But If Won he
