Our mailman deserves credit for
his pluck and bravery Saturday dur
ing the blizzard. After facing the
fury OF the storm for a number of
miles, delivering mail in the various
boxes, he travelled on until the vic
lence of the storm blew his mail
cutter over, near the Surmon place.
Mr. Croes lost his cap in the snow
and was unable to find it. He walk

with no damage to himself but frost
ed ears. The next morning he re-
covered his cap before going on to
town.
Henry Clifford was surprised at his
home northwest of town last Wednes-
day, January 23rd. He came
to town with a load that day
and was called up on the telephone
and told to return home at once and
not bring load of coal as he had
intended. He supposed something
was wrong at home and made all
possible haste to reach home, when
he arrived he found about fifteen of
his neighbors teams there who had
come to surprise him which they GER
tainly did. The party was held in
honor Of three birthdays in the fam
lily so near together, one of his sons
January 10th, Henry's wife Janu-
airy 21st, and his January 26th. The
party left after enjoying a very
pleasant time and well pleased to
think they had so successfully carried
out the plans of the party.

How Mitchell Won

"Mitchell's defeat for the capital
or rather, Mitchell's campaign for
the capital, and subsequent defeat,
has been the making Of one Of South
Dakota's best towns remarked F.
A. Craft, Friday in Miller. Frank
had been out to Pierre and stopped
off in Miller on his return. He is
now located in Mitchell, and says the
town is a hummer. Asked what
caused it, the above reply was given,
with additional explanation. Before
the capital campaign the business
men of Mitchell were pulling in as
many different directions as there
were men. That campaign simply
got them together; their defeat
brought out the good metal they are
made of, and they united to build up
city and are doing it.

STRINGENT RAIL
ROAD MEASURES
Twenty Six Bills introduced OF
Restrict Railroads

EleFTe, Jan. Zo.-IWO years ago
at the legislative session the wish
was often expressed that the way
might be opened to allow for the
construction of state railway across
the stretch between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, to put the
separate sections of the state in closer
communication, and any encourage
ment within reason would have been
offered to the company which would
have guaranteed the construction of
such line at once.
Now that two lines of road are
almost completed, the sentiment in
regard to railroads appears to have
taken change and bills for regulat-
ing them in almost every known
way have been introduced during the
present session, and the chances are
that when the members return from
their vacation trip, they will have
dug up several new ideas as to mat
ters which they think should be
regulated. Up to the present there
have been introduced in the two
houses twenty-six bills providing for
regulation or bearing on railroads in
some way.
The bills which are to the front at
present are the anti-pass bill, which
has passed the senate and has had it's
first and second readings in the
house, and is now in possession of
the house committee for considera-
ton. This went through the senate
with but one negative vote, and
while the house members in opposi-
ton to emergency clame to be organ
lied to strike off that clause, it is
believed that it will go through, and
become effective at once. An at
tempt will be made to amend it in
the house to allow contracts for news
paper mileage in the law.
The two cent rate bill as it has
been called, has been favorably re-
ported in both houses, but acton
will not be taken until after the rail
roads will be given a hearing We'd
nesday night. This bill provides for
500 and 1000 mile books at two cents
a mile straight, with rate of two
and half cents on trip tickets. The
mileage books are to be interchange
able on all roads in the state, but
that provision will probably be strick-
en- out. The books are also to be
good upon presentation by anyone
until used.
The employers liability, or fellow
servant act has passed in both houses
on different bills, with one dissent
ing vote in the senate and none in the
house, and will be enacted into law.
This bill taking from the railroads
or any employing company the right
af the plea of a contributary negli-
gency on the part of the employee
in suit for damages for personal
injuries.
Next in order of action is the reci-
procal demurrage bill, which places
fine of one dollar day per car on
railroad companies for failure to
furnish cars to shippers after twenty
four hours from the time expiration
after the order, and any shipper who
detalns a car for more than twenty
four hours, after receiving the same
shall be liable for demurage charges
of one dollar day for time he so re-
talns a car.

Remarks Concerning the County
Teachers and their Work

On January II, was held the fourth
teachers meeting of the year. About
twenty-five teachers and six visitors
were present. Many of the teachers
came long distances to attend. The
meeting was good and the program
well carried out.
Miss Price gave some good reasons
for the teaching of civics in our
seventh and eighth grades in well
prepared paper on that subject.
The subject of economy in education
was as usual interesting, being in
charge of Prof. Jones. Miss Mon
ours paper on Home Geog. told
plainly the Importance of this sub
ject and how it may be made inter-
esting to the little people. Mr. Chas.
Hatch read very scholarly and COM
prehensive paper on Samuel and
John Adams as Men Who Made the
Nation. The paper was we'll handled
and was enjoyed by all. The spelling
match, conducted by Miss Landers,
proved a pleasing exercise. The
prize was won by Mrs l.. A. Scoville.
Chas. Hatch and Addie Welsh are
two new members of the Teachers
Reading Circle. We have now thirty
members,
Although it is impossible to have
an organized Pupils Reading Circle
yet many pupils in our caunty are
making excellent records as readers
of good books. The following pupils
now hold library piplomrs for having
read and written satisfactory reviews
of gfteeh library books: Hester
Linn, Lillian Banning, Bertha Deu-
ter, Marie Eggerling, Vernon Morris
Lucy Steele, Jane Steele, Otie Scott,
Ray Trotman, Bennie Purath, and
Edna Porter.
Keep on reading. Any pupil hav-
ing a library diploma will, when he
presents to the Superintendent ff-
teen small certificates as proof that
he has read and written satisfactory
reviews of another set of fifteen
books, receive beautiful seal with
red ribbon attached to place OH the
diploma he now holds.
The following pupils have read ten
books and are urged to read five
more and secure the diploma: Nelly
Alley, John Burrell, Raymond Blach-
ford, Margaret Garry, Frances Hill,
Henry Martinmaas and Maggie Nc
Mullin. About one hundred pupils
have completed the reading of five
books.
Gerald Bowden, Clara Erb, Ethel
Hennessy, Daisy Hardes, Eliza Jacob
sen, Matilda Jacobsen, Myrtle Stone,
Norman Walton, Alice Struif, have
been perfect in attendance for three
months.
A number of schools have this year
raised money to increase the books
in their libraaies and to beautify
their school rooms. This is good
work and may it continue, good
books and attractive schoolrooms
will do much for our schools.

HORSES SCARCE
DEMAND GROWING
Buyers Report Insufficient Care
And Feed

The horse buyers of this locality,
and they are numerous, report that
the steady drain of the past five
years for marketable horses has be-
gun to tell noticeably upon the sup
ply. The heavy horses are picked up
so quickly that no time is allowed
for supply to grow. And farmers
are selling so close that breeding is
affected.
They also report that there is a
considerable supply of horses un-
available for market because they
are not in proper condition. The old
custom of letting horses run on short
feed just because they are good
rustlers is not now considered good
policy by the best stockmen. The
value of horses and the abundance
of feed now raised in this locality
suggests a change from the old
range methods. Horses conditioned
by good feed and care will readily
sell on the market at good prices
even If somewhat smaller than the
customary demand. And it is the
opinion of the buyers that farmers
can we'll afford to get a benefit by
paying more attention to their horses
Senator Kittredge's able speech
on the necessity of Investigating the
lumber trust, has again brought him
into prominence. The west will
heartily approve his efforts to check
this great monopoly.

Will the state of South Dakota

Will the STATE of South Dakota
profit any if her radical legislature
goes the limit and thereby discour-
ages railroads from future building?
Railroad building is absolutely essen
tial to the development of the state.
This does not mean that the railroads
should control and direct the states
affairs, but in the present excitement
it is easy tc go beyond reason. All
the people want is square deal.

The crying need of South Dakota
is more settlers to develop her un-
occupied acres into happy, prosper
Gus homes. The legislature now in
session should do everything in req
son to assist. There should be an
immigration bureau established and
equipped; the anti-pass law should
be amended in the house to omit
real estate dealers and newspapers
from its provisions. The people have
made no demand to restrict these
private business men from private
dealing with. railroads. All they
want is that their public officials
shall not be obligated by pass. The
real estate men and the newspapers
are trying to settle the state with
desirable people. They ought to be
encouraged in every legitimate way.
If their labors are Of benefit to the
railroads, and the roads pay them in
transportation, no one is injured
thereby,
