The first gun in the campaign. OF

party Of the state has been fired in
the Black Hills. At q meeting of

lew days ago, eS ceptiou was taken
to the employing OF OF Coe l. Craw-
ford as counsel in the case OF the
county of Lawrence VS.. the State of
South Dakota, in tile matter of the
reduction of taxes.
The ostensible objection to Mr..
Crawford was that he was not a
Lawrence county attorney and that
there was sufficient legal talent ir
the county to handle the case salts
factor!ly. The real objec, ion, how
ever, which came out lat Or in the
evening, was the belief of the club
that the committee was xpaoitirg
Crawford because of his political be-
llefs and with the purpose I lending
him support. The club expr, zssed it's
self as being unquestionably opposed
to bringing the matter OF po luics in
to this legal fracas.

that Lead City is practical i solid
for Martin and the club did BIT wish

the Black Hills will soon increase its
gold output marvelously. Low
grade ores treated in large quanti-

prosperous a mining country as do
high grade ores. South Dakota ores
average higher than do ores in

''The best we can do" said Leupp

Six months later he was back at

thought an Indian was something to
look up at.
"Then left school and began
looking for work. I started in at
New York. I called on those people

paid no attention to me whatever. l

no one would give an Indian work

Hard to Soft.

Marshall Lucas, homesteader
who lives near Medicine Buttes is
the possessor of a freak well, which
he recently sunk on his claim.
The well is forty feet deep. When
the well first filld the water was so
hard and so impregnated with
minerals that it could not be used
for any purpose. During the last
few days the character of the water
has changed without any known
cause and it is now as soft as water
secured from melted snow.

A slight fire at the Wnman's College about

When the blaze was discovered an alarm
was sent to the engine houses of the fire
companies and the college classes were
quickly dismissed Streams from chemical
extiuguishers kept at the college were turn
ed upon the fire and the flames were prncti-
caly extingulshed by them, though stream

All of the companies responded promptly to
the alarm and quickly had lines OF hose laid,
rcayd to throw water. if needed

Railroad Schedules and the
Pulllc.

The railroad companies will no doubt be
able to continue their present plan of not
publishing time tables in the weekly papers,
on the ground that those who want to trav-
ell must come to the railroads and find out,
as best they can, about connections and
schedules. 1t seems 10 he q question OF. you
must come to US, for 100 do not have to spend
any money for your special information.
Whatever may be the position OF the Com
panies, the public undoubtedly suffers great
inconvenience through the non publication
of time tables in the weekly papers. Almost
every week the RECORD has inquiries about
time of trains and connections, which can
not be answered. and as time goes on the
inquiries will increase.
The argument that weekly papers should
publish time tables, free, as matter OF news
is preposterous. AH advertising, is news
The argument could as reasonably be made
that newspapers should publish business adj
yertsements of all kinds, free. We make
mention of the subject IN an explanatory
way, and not that the discontinuance of the
editorial pass represents a case of soul
grapes" -CdrroH Record.
THE CLARION is publishing the W. N
schedule not because of the money creditor
ial ticket received, but for the benefit of it
readers. We also take notice the Pilot pub
fishes the schedule in paIt for Its pstrons.-

yse.assessing the Railroads.

The County Commissioners are busy re-
assessing the various railroads in the county.
From the amount of protesting that the X.
j. Cos. are doing one would be led to be.
lieye that the commissioners were making
terrible high assessments.
The much favored and tax exempt B. 4
o. is especially hunt because they had their
assessnen, raised to 81, 500 per mile aad the
Adamstown cutoff taxed, when they claim
il to be "part of the main line" which is ex-
en.pt. The poor (?) Pennsylvania r r. are
kicking on 5000 mile, their assessment
being but $500 now. They condescended
to agree to $4,100. What boundless gener-
osi,y! The w. M. will he none the less a
kicker, us well as the others.
You are right Mr.. Commissioners, and
lave not gone beyond reason. You are to
DC heartily commended for the action you
are taking.
