]. Railroad Laborers Laid Off
Until River Ice Goes
Out.
: The Temporary Bridge Will
. Then Be Put in Place
4. Again,

, Sunday about two hundred laborers
IN The railroad company's yards across
The river We're discharged. The work
men, who We're mostly Austrian and
Italian, were given the option of re-
naming for fifteen days, when they
could go to work again, or be given
Tree transportation back to Chicago
They chose the latter, and several
coaches were attached to tram 504,
which went east Monday afternoon,
and contained these men.
The laborers were laid off by the
company pending the removal of
the temporary bridge over the river,
which is now being pulled out over the
main channel and the side channel
which runs along the Pierre side of the
river. The removal of this bridge will
STOP the delivery of ma eral for con
ice runs ont upon the breaking up OF
the river, which is expected at any time
now. There was no work tor the men
hi the meantime.
After the ice goes out the company
expects to again close up the gaps in
the bridge and try and operate trains
over all summer, or until the new steel
bridge is completed. 1t is believed the
piIipg bridge will hold in the river
sands, as the crews now at work remov.
ing sections OF the bridge have had the
greatest diificultyin drawing the piling
from the sand, where they were driver
and firmly embedded
The parts of the bridge which will
be LETT in position cover the bars OF
shallow places and when the river rise:
this spring the Ice will toat over with
out any damage to the piling or tim

material will have to be ferrled acros

SHE'D at the measure and refused to
vote for it until they personally consult
ed the attorney general, Mr.. Hall told
them all that the bill was alright and to
vote for it, they had implicit conf.
dence in his judgment on this matter
because he had thoroughly studied
the oil question i'll preparing his case
in the courts of litigation then pending
between the State of South Dakota and
the Standard Oil company. Mr.. Hall
stated both in private and in public
that it was to the interest of the state
to pass the bill. The legislature took
him at his word and the bill became a
law These statements are susceptible
of proof by hundreds OF people and
cannot be successfully contradicted.
If the result has been disastrous to the
people of the state, as the independent
claims it has, the gentlemen whom the
Indepenpent is supporting for congress
is entirely responsible for this condi-
ton of affairs This issue is not one
of the Chiefs making. The lndepen
dent, following its usual policy OF
wholesale denunciations and fault
findings, has hit it's own candidate a
body blow. What Mr. Halls motive
was in playing into the hands of the
oil octupus, taking the word OF the
Independent for it, we do. not know.
We will pass this proposition up to the
author of the complaint. -lroquois

Placing the Responsibility.

Both the state oil inspectors who have
reported indicate that the reduction Of
gravity test by the legislature last
winter from AS to AZ has resulted in a
poorer grade Of oil being furnished
than for former years, though this has
been more apparent in the winter
months. The oil brought in has been
up to the required standard. This
confirms the contention of the Indie
pendent and few other papers of the
state that the oil bill last winter was
entirely in the interests of the Standard
Oil company, and against the interests
of the people. Our readers will remem-
Der that, while the oil is more than S
per cent poorer, there has been no
marked reduction in the price. De

dent declares it is then the blame rests
entirely with the Attorney Genera

Well, that's no better than my grocer

One Of the meanest Of the grafters who
preys upon demonstrators Of all sorts Of

Yes, that's very nice. III try again. !
have some left of what ! bought before, but
if I'm successful this time III come for
more
"A demonstrator must sell a certain
amount every week. II che falls below
her average the firm will instantly inquire
how this is. Then she must work harder
than ever to rise above the required mark
the next week, in order to bring her ayeraRe
up to the standard. So you can see that
and makes no gale, her nerves are ar to
get the worst Of it, unless she has ortimif m
enough to say oh, well, II this goes through
there is always something else for one to
do
There are nan really nice women who
will step up and say pleas antly, We are so
giving us a cup OF tear And Of coure l

IN the wonders Of Spring.
"The trees in the range OF backwards in
view from my study window said Prof.
Won Joggleby, ARE now again in leaf; once
more have I witnessed this annually re-
curing wonder Of the spripg-th coming Of
the leaves.
"In the summer we give no particular
thought to the leaves, seen then on every
hand and grown familiar: nor do we give
much thought to them as they shrivel and
die and drop away, one by one, or in
punches blown by gusts, in the fall, till The
tree stands bare.
Il think 1 like the trees best In winter,
when they stand thus stripped Of their
foliage. I seem to come closer to them
then, and / fancy that, shorn OF their sum-
mer glory, they are willing to come closer
to me. So winter ID the time when, giants
] rejoice with them as they stand. bare
armed and sturdy, against the win tors
gales. And then comes a time when we
draw apart again.
son some warm day in spring the ns~riad
swelling buds on every branch and twig
by day the leaves unfold, and the tree that
you knew a month ego, a brawDv giant, Is
now like a gentle mother, fostering a million
little children.
Then. as the summer grows, the tree.
with it's myriad dusty leaves, grows familiar
again, and impersonal; Just a tree-and then
once more will come winter, when you meet
the giant;
YOU nave watched and seen them unfold
out of the solid wood, and when you have
looked long enough at them you turn again
to the problems on your desk, to those trivial
inventions Of men for which you may hope
to find a solution"

According to the adve rtieing manager

IL Is hard to say why. The hours and

demonstrators come under the control Of
the advertising department Of a firm, and
when We find one who Ia really good we
