JOSEPH HARE.

The Hills candidate for state
representative is we'll known
throughout the Hills as the
''father Of the forest reserve
homestead law,". This law
which Mr.. Hare worked so dill
igently to have framed and
passed is a great boon to many
a black Hills homesteader. II
gives those who were unable to
take advantage of the present
homestead law an opportunity
to secure their land.
Although at different times
Mr.. Hare has been a newspaper
man he has spent most of his
life on a ranch.
He came to the Hills eleven
years ago and has since that
time lived on the Bismarck
ranch near Keystone. In the
capacity of deputy sheriff Mr.,
Hare has been an able and
painstaking officer. He
is heartily in favor of the new
proposed measures Of the ty

The republican party has
nothing to be ashamed Of and is
entitled to its claim of being
the party Of progress.
A man who is never called on
to defend his beliefs soon ceases
to have any to- defend, and a
nation that would fall into the
hands ofsuch opinionless think
ers would soon meet national
shipwreck.
The aim Of the president and
of the party is to extend the
blessings of American prosper
ity and peace to every corner Of
the globe.
The contest in this state is
for principles, not men.

OF this engines draws five wag.
ons holding seven cubic yards
OF ten tons, ,each train a capacity
OF about thirty-fve cubic yards
or fifty tons. The cost daily
for each train is about $28 and
each train makes two trips. The
building Of a narrow guage
railroad from the gravel pits tc
the dam is now being consider
ed, and it is estimated that with
this method of transportation,
the cost would be considerably
reduced. The contractors on
the south side feeder canal
which runs from the dam
through the south stretch of
country, secured an extension of
time on their contract, and now
expect to have the first eight
miles completed by the middle
Of this month. Some of the
most difficult construction work
on the entire project is en-
countered in this division, as
many draws and creeks are to
be crossed, where concrete cul-
verts must be built to care for
the storm waters. There will
also be a concrete, reinforced
steel inverted syphon six feet
in diameter and eight hundred
feet in length to carry the water
under the Belle Fourche river.
It will be placed from five to
eight feet below the bed of the
stream, and will be less expen-
sive than steel spans. Argus

CLARENCE l.. LEWIS.

Mr.. Lewis, the Republican
candidate for Comfy Judge is
the present occupant Of the
chair. He is Of the law firm of
Schrader & Lewis and is known
for his ability as a land attor-
ney. In this line of work he is
without a peer in the Black
Hills. It would seem that as
county judge such a man with
his sterling character and wide
knowledge Of land affairs would
be almost indispensable in such
a vicinity. During The next
two years numerous land cases
are sure to come up and it will
require an able Judge to meet
them.

MILTON FREEZE.

So we'll known is the name
of Milton Freeze with his great
weight of honesty and force of
character that anything we
could say in his behalf would
almost be superauous. He has
been chosen as a candidate
from The Republican party to
represent the valley district il
the lower house of the state
legislature and the choice was
a good one.
Mr.. Freeze is one Of the oldest
settlers in the Rlack Hills. He
has been a successful rancher
and cattleman for number of
years and has a wide acquaint-
ance in his district. This up
right character and conserve
tisln will make him a valuable
adherant and upbuilder of the
Republican state platform.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY, CANDIDATES
MEN WHO ODESERVETHES SUPPORT
OF EVERY CONSCIENTIOUS
VOTER
MYRoN WILLs1E.

In Myron Willsie, the repub-
lidans of this district have a
most desirable candidate for
the state senate. Mr.. Willsie
has already served one term
in the senate and has proven
himself to be an able and capa-
BILE man.
A civil enginoeer by profess
sion he has a wide knowledge
of men and affairs, that he uses
to great advantage in securing
measures for Pennington
county. In the pioneer days
of the Black Hills when Hill
Citv was experiencing the tin
boom, Mr.. Willsie was superin-
tendent for the Harney Peak
Tin Company. 1t is said of
him that no man in the south
ern Hills ever did more for the
miner. In those days he was
the idol of the men who were
under his supervision.
He has been county survey
or and in that capacity served
in the same capable and eff
cient manner that has ever
characterized his public service.
There can be no doubt that his
second term in the senate will
be even more fruitful for the
county than his first. For it is
a known fact the longer a sem
ator is in Office the more power
full becomes his influence.
Mr.. Willsie is known as a
man of few words but many
deeds. And it is this never tir-
ing energy for the welfare of
his district that will earn for
him his second term in the sem
ate Of South Dakota.

First Election in S. D.

Some newspaper has dug up
this interesting bit of early his
tory: "In these times of siren.
uous politics it may be Of inter-
est to recall the first popular
election held by white mon in
South Dakota. 1t occurred
more than hundred years ago,
that is to say, on the evening
Of August %, 1904, at Elkpoint.
Sergeant Charles Floyd, Of the
Lewis and Clark expedition, had
died on the Goth. at Floyd's
Bluff Sioux City, )and the cap
tains resolved to permit the
men to choose Floyd's successor.
The matter was submitted to a
ballot when camped at Elkpoint
on the 28th. Patrick Gass, a
young Irish carpenter, who had
been enlisted a handy man"
to the expedition, got the ma
jority and was consequently ap-
pointed. AS sergeant it was
one Of his duties to keep daily
journal. He possessed hardly
any education, but he carefully
set down queer notes, signs and
rough pictures, which he under
stood and after he returned to
his home in Pennsylvania the
district school master trans
cribed the story for him and it
was published; and SO valuable
is it considered that several re-
prints have been made.

In selecting John HALEY as a

cans could not have made a bet

IRRIGATION DITCH
SCHEME OF MAMMOTH PRO
PORTIONS
MAIN CANAL 7 NILES IN LENGTH
OF Great Value to Farmers = Will
Irrigate Thousands of
Acres

|
Belle Fourche, Oct. 24.-Be-
fore another year has passed,
the first results Of the immense
irrigation project now in pro-
gress of completion, will be
seen. By that time, the inlet
canal carrying the water six and
cne-half miles to the reservoir
dam, will have been completed,
and the lands which will draw
their supply from the bitches
taking their rise from this canal
will be supplied. The main
portion Of land included in this
project, will not however, be
supplied with water before 1909
as the great reservoir dam will
not be completed until that year.
Driving down the valley Of the
Belle Fourche river, one travels
for two miles before coming
upon the first step in this work
tho diversion dam which is
almost completed. This dam
like all the work, is constructed
with a view to permanelcy. It
is all built of concrete and steel
with the exception Of the false
work in putting in the concrete.
From this dam, the water passes
throdgh the inlet canal, also
practically completed, fol a dis
tance of six and one half miles
to the immense reservoir dam,
the largest earth dam in the
United States. 1t will recover
$1,000 acres Of land and will hold
200, 900 acre feet Of water. Tho
embankment itself will be over
one mile long, lis feet high,
500 feet wide at the bottom,
and 20 feet VIDE at the top. It
will be built entirely Of earth
with the exception Of a CON
crete facing next to the water.
The contract for this work was
let a year age to the firm of Or
man and Crook Of Colorado
and they were allswed four years
in which to chmplete the task.
The concrete also included work
on both the north side and the
south side feeders and was val
ued at over one million dollars.
The contractors are now push
ing work with a large force of
men, indeed a veritable army.
Nearly a thousand men and a
quarter as many teams, to say
nothing Of the three steam shov-
els which are never idle, form
tho working force Of this firm.
The work Of building the dam
is SO immense an undertaking,
that although men have been
busy since early in the summer,
there does not appear, to the
casual observer, to have been
much accomplished. At pres
ent, however, the sum total Of
each days grading is the NOV
ing of not less than 1000 yards
of earth. Fairly rapid progress
is made, as the country is not a
difficult one in which to work,
owing to the absence Of rock
and the character Of the earth.
The gravel for the concrete
work Of which a large amount
