Congr, ssman Burke has introduced a
bill authorizing the secretary OF the
interior to lease 5000 acres of public
domain for a pasture for native buffalo
in South Dakota.
Fire destroyed three business build-
ings at F~aulktiou, Saturday, the jew

millinery store and a barber shop run
byJarvis e Hansel. rhe loss is covered
by insurance. The origin Of the fire is
not known.
The state land department for the
mouth of January issued patents on
full payments of 137 tracts of state
lands. While some of these patents
were issued on matured contracts, most
of them were in cases where the pur-
chaser preferred to pay a years interest
in advance for the privilege of making
final payment. The largest number
which went to any one county was
twenty-five to Minnehaha. Yankton
secured 10, Union IL Lincon 10, Bon
Homme 10, and the rest of the number
was made up of smaller aliotments,
scattered tie practically all the counties
of the state where lands have bee n
sold.
Now that Sioux Falls has been
selected as the place for holding the
next annual tournament of the South
Dakota Fireman's association, the
citizens will take advantage of the
opportunity to make the occasion a
midsummer jollification. During the
last few years interest in these tourn-
aments has died out, as compared with
the enthusiasm of a dozen or fifteen
years ago, when the tournament were
big events of the year in the state, but
it is confidently believed, and every
thing indicates that the tournament
this year will be greeted with some of
the old-time enthusiasm and prove the
| most successful held in the state for
many years. The dates, June 26, 81.
% and 20 are at a time when there will
be no other big gathering in the state.
At the Western Baptist Missionary
Aid society held in Omaha a few days
since, Rev. L. M. S~hanafelt, of Huron
was chosen superintendent of the work
of the society in that part of the
country west of Chicago to the Pacific
coast, but has not yet decided to accept
the position. The territory assigned
him covers eighteen states, and while
the labor is of great magnitude, DIR.
Shanafelt is especially well equipped
for it. his experience during twenty
years as superintendent of Baptists
missions in South Dakota and his
familiarity with mission work in other
fields, gives him especial fitness for the
proper discharge of the duties conten-
gent upon the position now offered him.
The general mercantile establish
ment of A. l.. Van Osdel and Son al
M~issionhill, Yankton county, was
totally destroyed by fire Saturday
night. The loss is estimated to be
about $4,000 with $1,000 insurance.
The fire originated in the cellar, where
an oil stove, which had been left burn.
ing to prevent the freezing of veget-
ables, exploded. The town has no
organized fire company % any water
system, and all available aid was
powerless in extinguishing the flames,
which were famed by a high north
west wind. The new banking house
of the Missionhill State bank was
slightly damaged, as was the building
occupied by the Stanage Mercantile
company across the street.

Governor S. H. Elrod has formally
announced his candidacy for renomi-
nation at the republican convention
in the following litter recently made
public:
again ask your support in the
coming campaign. | have tried to
conduct the affairs of the high office
of governor of this hustling young
state in a businesslike manner, and
for the best interests of all our peo-
pie regardless of party ties. 1t is
a fact that the affairs of the state
are in most excellent condition.
Every department is being faithfully
and economically administered. The
last session of the Legislature was
the most conservative yet held in its
history. Appropriations were kept
down and many measures of impor-
lance We're enacted into laws.
There are those who find fault
with the caucus law. 1t certainly
has some merit, or it would not have
been passed by a vote of 121 out of
1873 votes cast. It is entitled to a
fair trial.
"The assessed valuation cf cor
poration property was Increased in
1905 by over S625.O0O,i and farm
lands were lowered from assessors,

entire state of "a cents per acre.
Il am a lifelong republican and
have taken part in every campaign
in CLARK county beginning in 1882.
In 1880 | was a Garfield republican.
1t was my first vote. In 1884 a
Blaine republican; in 1888 and in
1892 a Harrison republican; in 1896
and in 1900 a Mckinley republican;
in 1904 a Roosevelt republican, and
| have been a Roosevelt republican
every day since William Mckinley
died, and stand squarely with Presi
dent Roosevelt on every issue before
the people, including the railroad
rate question, and it is not necessary
for me to belong to a league to show
this. The question is, are we repub-
Leans?
"The republicans have been very
kind to me, and it has been my
earnest endeavor to honestly and
faithfully represent them.
thus far in the history of our
state each governor, regardless OF
what party he belonged to, has been
renominated and reelected. | ask
your support for a denomination and
Tor a reelection, promising you that
| will be faithful to the end.

Taking Out Siiage.

Silage should always be taken from
the top, and care should be exercised
to keep the surface as nearly level az
possible. The more nearly level the
surface of the silage Is kept, the less IL
mold in warm weather. While these
principles have been repeated over and
over again in silo literature, they have

Mr.. Roosevelt's Dollar.

the Bellcfonte Republican, has this to
say about Mr. Roosevelt's dollar:
"One OF the first to heed the call Of
the chairman of the Republican cam

buttons to the campaign fund is Pres
ident Roosevelt. The president be-
lieyes in the virtue of example and
gives his dollar early with an implied
Injunction to all Republicans who
share with him a true spirit of loyalty
to party principle to go and do like
wise. Undoubtedly the presidents ex-
ample will bear fruit. It's special value
consists in the fact that every public
act of the chief executive of the ma
tion commands the attention of the
whole people, and that accordingly his
recognition OF the dollar a head idea
will bring the merit thereof home to
hundreds of thousands of citizens who
otherwise might let it pass unno-

He Leads the Way.

Naturally this simple device COM
mends itself to the president because
of the conditions which have made it
necessary. In former times the great
corporations were the chief donors of
campaign funds. and very little money
was obtained from the privates in the
ranks of the political parties. Largely
through Mr.. Roosevelt's instrumental
ity, death blow has been dealt to
the practice of collecting funds from
such sources.
"Henceforward, therefore, the cam
paign committee of all parties must
look to individuals for the wherewithal
to meet the heavy cost of campaign
ing. There should be no difficulty on
this head IL it is only possible to enlist
individual attention and to inspire gem
orally an adequate sense of partisan
obligation. 1t is this that Mr.. Roose-
welt has in mind, and he has taken
the one method of emphasizing his
views where good results are sure to
be achieved"
