shaggy hair. The apparition doomed

the bars, the lip twisted over the red

If you have not received an lnvi- tation to call in and see the board of equalization and have talk with them about the value of your property, don't be too sure that your values have not been advanced trifie. for the postal may reach you later on. A great many have already been given the tip and it is interest ing to note how many have already responded and how few can see things from the standpoint of the as sessors. After a talk with the board of equalization some go away satis- fled, but others refuse to be converted to their way and cannot be con vinced but that the valuation is too high. If you don't like what the as- sessors have done and want to ap- peal to the board of relief, you can not do so unless you state your case to the board of equalization during the present month.

Will ElrOd Answer?

Without any mud singing it seems
legitimate to ask Governor Elrod few
questions.
First, did you in your last message
to the legislature encourage the viola
tion of the state constitution and
thereby a violation of their oath of
office taken by the legislators by pre-
Stunning to tell them that the people
did not want primary law although
about 5000 voters said by petition that
they did?
Second, are you receiving, in addi-
tion to the $4,000 per year allowed by
the constitution, over 800 per month
that is prohibited by the constitution?
Are you also travelling on passes furn-
ished by the railroad companies, not
withstanding the example of President
Roosevelt, who would lead to better,
more honorable and honest methods in
politics by refusing free transporta-
t!on. In this connection do you not
consider that to give free transporta-
tion to some and refuse it to others is
as bad dis elimination as for the rail-
roads to give to one shipper, through
rebates, a cheaper rate on freight
than it gives to all?
Third. did you have Mr.. Bell the
Bedford, Indiana, sand stone man, in
your office and introduce him as the
architect of the new capitol building
before the bill providing for the crea-
tion of the commission and the build
ing of the capitol mad passed the leg
islature?
Fourth, don't you know that the
Bedford sand stone has proven fail
ure in many public buildings?
Fifth, don't you know that at the
worlds fair in Chicago South Dakota
had it's building stone on exhibition
and claimed it had abundance of the
best building stone in the west? Was
the claim false? II so say so. Fur
ther. are not some of the finest build
ings in South Dakota built of South
Dakota stone?
Sixth, do you not know that the on
ly reason why the Indiana stone men
can under bid the Dakota stone men
is because the Bedford stone is soft
stone on which cirlicues can be cut
with a jack knife and that if plain
strong building was called for by the
designs the Dakota stone would be
the cheapest?
Seventh, did you know that excerpts
from your speech at Deadwood, made
last summer, were sent throughout
the northwest by the Chicago railroad
bureau and published in hundreds
of Republican papers as tending to
help their cause against Roosevelt?

The Scandinavian League.

In the following resolution, taken
from the platform of the Scandina-
Wan Republican League, there is the
clear expression of the real occasion
for the fight in the Republican ranks.
The issue is clearly stated and is in
substance simply whether the people
or corporate interests are to control
the party. 1t reads as follows:
Resolved, further, that the spirit
exhibited by or president be taken
as pattern for refreshing house
cleaning in our state politics; that we
condemn secret meetings and confer
ences between public officials and rail
road lobbyists and counsels; that we
deplore and condemn the practice of
nonresident railway lobbyists and
railway representatives being ta ken
into the most private party consulta-
tions by the present executive mach
inc organization and consulted in the
formulation of party platforms, selec-
tion of party candidates, organization
and the making up of rules and com
mittees of state conventions and legis-
latures, thus obstructing progress
and thwarting the will of the people
in form ulation of party principles and
effective legislation. We
brand this practice of secret consul
tations and understandings with for
eign corporate interests in matters of
party affairs, as un-American and the
at1iliators of this infamous practice
as the real enemies of the Republican
party and the real cause Of factiona-
lism within the party; that we declare
for the severing of railway and other
corporate influences in the manage
ment of Republican party politics of
this state forever, and favor an effec-
tive anti-lobby law and anti-pass law
to stamp out this disgraceful practice,
but giving the railway interests a
square deal on taxation and rates and
protection Of their property rights OF
the same basis as an Individual citi-
zen, having in view the well known
fact that the railways of South Dako-
ia have paid for themselves three
times over out Of the South Dakota
business since being built in the
state

cause a farmer can sell span Of
horses for four or five hundred dollars,
that is no reason why he should keep
a brood mare solely for the chance of
growing colt. There is more risk
in the horse department on the farm
than any other, for the reason that
he must figure on prices five or six
years ahead, when circumstances may
be entirely different.
In fact, it is not wise thing to go
largely into the live stock business
when prices are high, and it is partic-
ularly hazardous for the new beginner
or the man who has not met with any
marked success In years past. The
time to start any new department on
the farm, particularly in live, stock,
is when prices are low and have been
dragging in the ground for some time.
He can then calculate with absolute
certainty that large percent Of the
farmers will decrease their breedings
herds and f1ocks, either from necessity
or otherwise; and that if ne goes in
when prices are low, by the time he
has stuff to sell prices viii be on tine
up grade. He can Just as certainly
calculate that If he goes in heavily
when prices are high he will sell the
product when prices are lower.
For the last two or three years
farmers have been going into sheep
largely, especially in feeding opera
tions. These operations have not
been profitable the last year. Many
farmers have lost money, as we were
quite sure they would last fall. Sheep
farmers are like the sheep themselves
in that they are very apt to follow
the leader, whether the leader be
wise or unwise. We have urged our
readers for years to keep a few sheep,
never over one hundred to the quar-
ter section. When the neighbors be-
gin to go out of sheep, that is the
time for the wise man to go in. In
fact, it is an old, tried maxim that
'when everybody wants to sell, buy"
"When the people generally want to
buy, SELL" Don't go price chasing.
Keep a level head. Adopt rational
rotation, keeping the proper kind of
live stock that the rotation demands,
and let the other fellows do the price
chasing. -Wallaces' Farmer.

FREE HOMES IN MONTANA.
TWenty-seven townships of Gov
ernment Land Opened to
"r Filing.

Twenty-seven townships comprising
622, ,OSO acres in the vicinity Of Cul-
bertson, Montana, have recently been
opened to filing by the government.
Some of these Townships lie along
the Great Northern Railway and
others lie along the Big Muddy River.
Only the best townships out of vast
area SO miles square were surveyed.
Much of this land is in Paradise Val
ley contiguous to the Great Northern
Railway along the Missouri River and
in the Big Muddy Valley, but is fine
rolling prairie or table land back
from the river. This land is situated
within from 10 to 30 miles of the Da-
kota and Montana state line Culbert-
son being only 80 miles from Buford,
N. D.
The ranchers and farmers have
raised good crops during the last
three years, previous to which stock
raising was the only industry. Prof.
F. B. Linfeld, Of the Montana Expert
ment Station, says no better land ex-
lists anywhere than there is in the
vicinity of Culbertson. Crops are
grown here as follows: Oats, so to 60
bushels to the acre and 40 pounds to
the bushel. Flax to 16 bushels to
the acre; Wheat Is to Is bushels; Bar
ley 30 to 40 bushels, and Speltz 60 to
80 bushels to the acre. These crops
have been raised on new breaking,
and as the ground becomes better cul-
tivated the crops will be better. The
soil is a black loan, averaging IL
