gorge above this point still continues
TO hold and the river is receding here.
AT Running Water. above here. word
comes that Captain Joseph Leach has
lost his steamboat. the Bachelor. fitted

year. This is not the only boat Cap
tain Leach lost. as the ice also sank
his ferryboat. The loss is a very heavy
one and will run up into the thousands

out and they could not be protected
against the ice. The steamboat Jo-
sephine was torn from her winter quar-
tiers and is now high and dry on the
bank where the flood left her. AT this
point the government dyke forms a
good protection. and but for 1T CAPTAIN

Pierre, s. d., Feb. Godfather abrupt
ly the primary bill emerged from the
tangle of bullrushes where 1t had been
ohscured by II variety of membranes
in the way OF amendment n reaching
the open sea through the manipulation
of "A Joint conference committee made
straight for port. 1t has ~"arrove.' A
little of it's sail has been cut. but 1t Is
probably the more sea worthy because
of it.
AS originally drawn IT contained ~
provision for county local option which
its -appi-
cation to county nominations whenever
desired, but the house section of the
joint committee issued an ulttmatum
to the committee of the senate that n
conference agreement must leave out
all provisions for such manner OF pass
ing up a good thing, n the senate
committee swallowed the medicine and
called it sweet.
Agreement Reached.
After this there was no difficulty In
reaching an agreement and the meas
,ure which revolutioniZed the party last
year and will have important bearings
on the future is o al effective law
of the state
1t is too lengthy for analysis at this
time, but 1t may be said in Il general
way that 1t is a more complete and
accurate piece of work han the bill
which created the furore two years ago
and h died of strangulation. Its
enactment into law is considered the
most important accomplishment OF the
new administration up to the present
time of the extreme agitation
which has attended the progressive pri-
mary legislation In this state, More
than that. 1t marks the fulflment of
every important pledge made by h
insurgents in the platform declaration
at Sioux Falls last June and is an evil
dence to the people that promises i'm
ply obligations to fulfilment that must
he kept by the men whom the people
select for their standard bearers.
Wolf Bounty Bill.
The wolf bounty bill. which creates
a contention at each session of the
legislature, will come from the commit
tee today calling for an addition of
$1,000. making SIS. 900 for determination
of the cattlemen's enemy. 1t will make
Its appearance in the house and win he
opposed by many OF the representa-
tives from the eastern part Of the
state.
The bill providing for the
or the provisions of the nerd law 10
Lyman and Gregory counties will also
come from the committee. with the rec
ommendation that 1t do pass. and is
much desired by the settlers in these
new counties who have heretofore been
under the free range law which makes
them fence their crops to save them
from the wandering herds.
The senate will again take up the
anti-treating bill on a special order.
Nearly all the members profess to be-
lieve I'm its provisions, but many will
vote against it because of conditions
and promises at home. 1t has about
equal chances OF success or defeat when
1t comes to a final vote.

ROOfing-

-Four things enter into the max.
ing of a good roofing:
The felt; the sdtUrdtion; the
COATING and the method Of tdging.
Paroid excels on all four points,
=
The felt is the foundation. II It
Is not right to start with, no treat
ment of any kind can make it into
a good'roohug.
We l;aolo that our felt Is right
because we make it in our own
mills established in 1879
We make Is because we cannot
buy a felt elsewhere good enough
for Paroid.
Other manufacturers who buy
their felt in the open market
wherever they can get it cheapest
necessarily take big chances at
the very start.
We couldn't give you the money
back guaranty we do il We did
not make the complete roofing
under our direct supervision.
ParOid roofing IS not merely
dfpped in q solution, but is soaked
In water proofing mixture Of
our own, which renders every
fibre Of it-through and through
absolutely waCer proof.
And then the coating. Paroid
Is coated on both sides with q
smoother, thicker. tougher and
more flexible coating than is on
any other roofing made.
There Is no room for doubt
about Il. You need not take our
word for IL. Use your own iudg-
ment. Compare Paroid with other
kinds. You will find that PdrOfd

only flexible roof In a zero tenn

But even the best roofing must

In every roll Of Paroid you viii

supply Of square, rust proof,

proof cap made.
These caps are patented. You
get them Onln with Paroid.
