who succeeds F. A. Harmon, divi-

duties this week and made his first
trip over the Black Hills division.
Mr.. Costley comes from Ashland,

intendent of the Ashland division Of

appointment to his present position
is a promotion. Mr.. Costley is
highly Recommended as railroad

The retiring superintendent, F.

occasion TO thank the agent and all
the employees for their attention tc

Congressman Busy.

There are no buster men in Wash
ington than Representatives Martin
and Burke. Both have rule of an
swering every communication the
day it is received, and If this is not
possible 10 answer as soon as the
matter can be looked up. Every
letter from their constituents re.
ceives personal attention, and in
stead Of referring communications
with reference to the various sub
jects brought to their attention to
the department, personal visit is
made and the officials seeing that a
personal interest is manifested by
the congressman, take pains to ex-
pediate such matters and to meet the
desires of the people interested. IT.
takes considerable trouble for a
member to give personal attention
to miner subjects as it necessitates
a great many trips to the depart
ments, and for this reason many
members refuse to be made what
they term ''an erraud boy," but the
South Dakota representatives do not
seem to mind it, as it is appreciated
by their constituents.

Robinson Objects.

Doane Robinson, commissioner OF
census, takes exception to the last
report of the government agricul.
tural bureau as to agricultural pro-
duction of South Dakota in several
matters, and Governor Elrod has
written Secretary Wilson, calling
attention to the discrepancies be-
tween the goyernment report and
the showing of the state census OF
agricultural statistics, gathered by
the local enumerators.
The government report only
credits this state with the production
of 1862, 400 bushels of barley for
last year, while the state figures for
1904 shows 1850, 1O2 bushels, and
all estimates show larger yield for
1905 than for 1904, the year for
which the census figures were taken
The oats production is shown by the
government figures to be %, 1O3, ,5l7
the state figures are 80, ,583, ,23O.
On the production of tame hay,
the government figures are 43O, 45O
tons, while the state figures are
2,787, ,945 tons. The government
census of 1900 placed the production
of tame hay for the state at more
than 1900, 900 tons, and as this pro:
duct has been on a continual increase
ever since 1900; the late report is
evidently unfair when taken in con.
nection with the government census,
and far from correct under the state
census.

Mr.. Congdon has been in business

at that time she was one of the
most beautiful women in the Hills.
She became associated with a num-
Der OF prominent people and ac-
quired property and diamonds that
were the envy of all who saw them.
For time she ruled as a queen, but
lost her grip, and then her looks and
money; she took to drugs and finally
driited into the path from which
there is no turning. Her first name
was Marguerite.
In 1893 Edna went to Chicago,

quite little money. Returning to
Deadwood, she ran restaurant

To Protect Dumb Beasts.

"The time is coming when men
will be prosecuted for starving a
thousand cattle to death in the West,

Salaries should be Raised.

President Horner of the South
Dakota Bar association, in his an,
nual address, recon mends the rails,
ing of the salaries of the judges Of
the circuit and supreme courts in
South Dakota. Mr.. Horner has Sc.
cured data from many other states
ana finds that, in comparison, our
judges are lily paid. He thinks that
the salaries of the supreme court
judges should be raised from the
present $1,000 a year to at least
5000, and the circuit judges from
$2,500 to $500, with $500 additional
for expenses.
As the law now stands, the court
stenographer gets five cents a mile
for travelling expenses, but for the
judge no such provision is made.
