Another Landslide.

The heavy rains Saturday and
Saturday night caused more damage
10 the hillsides. AS a result Of the
rains and soft earth the hill side
between Mrs. J. w. BANDS resi-
dence, and Misses Allie and Bette
Dodds' residence in Kentucky street
came down 10 Carroll street all in a
lump. There was considerable tim
Der on the hill side used for support
ing the earth from slipping.
Considerable earth came down the
hill at the rear OF Mr.. ]. II. Millett's
residence. and just east Of the court
house steps.
The old Campbell property on
Carroll street began to slip toward
the north, but only slipped a short
distance.
The heavy sleet that night broke
down a number Of telephone wires,
and pulled down some electric light

return Of Mr.. Kittredge, knowing his
record as they must, could not con-
scientiously ask for square deal In
anything. II they vote for a man to
represent them whom they know has
never favored anything they stand for
what should they receive in return?
No producer or business man in
this state can afford to send man to
the senate who has worked with and
is claimed by the special interests.
1t would be an invitation to the cor
porations to undo all the great work
accomplished by the president, and
an evidence that South Dakota was
gcing backward into the hands Of
men who have skinned the tax payers
for years by making them pay hum
dreds of thousands of dollars in taxes
for the corporations that the corpora
tions should have paid and will now
pay under Crawfords administration

roads and railroads kept the old ma

Ellerman VS.. kittredge.

The nice little story going the
rounds of the machine press concern
ing Herman Ellerman ana his support
of Mr.. Kittredge is remarkable for
the stupidity displayed in publishing
such a silly yarn.
Herman Ellerman will not support
Senator Kittredge for reelection to
the senate, and If any of the machine
gentlemen think different they had
better consult Mr.. Ellerman, who is
opposed to corporation management
in State or National affairs.
Herman Ellerman is radical
Roosevelt republican and could not
support man for the senate who is
not at heart reformer and cham
pion of the reforms demanded by the
president. Mr.. Kittredge is not an
issue in this state. The issue plain
and simple is, shall the people be re-
presented by senator who will vote
and work for their welfare or shall
they be represented by man who
will vote against their interest.
Mr.. Kittredge's record will not find
favor with men who believe in elimi-
mating trust and corporate influence
in State and National affairs, because
the time has arrived when the peo-
pile must wipe out all sembiance of
trust control of the United States
Senate, body that has been dominat-
ed by financial and corporate interests
for the last twenty years.
President Roosevelt has brought
this issue squarely before the coun-
try: Shall the corporation-trust in
terests rule or shall the people rule
through men they may select who
will honestly represent them.
1t is a great issue and must be
met. The people can get no square
deal legislation out of the upper house
until the corporation satellites are re-
placed by men who represent the re.
forms demanded. The Senate must
be filled by new men who are ready
and willing to sustain the president
and his policies.
We of South Dakota know that Mr.
Kittredge does not and has not re
presented the people of this state at
any time. He manfully stood for the
interests that placed him in office
and it is fair to presume he would
continue to do SO again if given a
chance.
These are the reasons why Mr.. El
lerman could not support Mr.. Kit
tredge, and If there are voters enough
lin the state who. disregarding theil
own interests so far as to return hin
to the senate, then such men would
be entitled to the skinning and plund
ering tactics of the machine and n,
longer deserve square deal in any
thing. Men who would vote for th'
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-09-27
THE NEW DEPOT.

The editor has inspected the plans
for the new depot and from the out
line drawing it looks handsome and
good enough for any town. Some are
dissatisfied because the structure is
not to be of brick, others wanted
stone, and the editor would liked to
have seen a marble structure, but it
seems that the men who have to pay
for it and use it for their business
are going to erect it out of wood, and
the woodwork will he as handsomely
arranged as any private dwelling in
town, but what would the average
mortal do if he didn t have something
to kick it?
There are probably over a hundred
towns that are waiting for new de-
pots on the Milwaukee system and all
think they deserve one just as much
as our people do. The Milwaukee is
crowded to its ears with business and
the business will keep crowding for
some time. The burning Of the old
depot forced the company to build
this fall and the new depot will be
erected as speedily as possible.
Just how much any one will suffer
because the outside of the new depot
is not of brick or stone we are un-
able to figure out, but it is not
hard to figure out how much hand
somer and larger the new depot will
be than the old one, and how much
more comfortable the new depot will
be with it's handsome waiting rooms,
steams heat and lavatories for the
men and women, and the lack of the
last convenience was what made the
old depot intolorable.
1t is possible that the railroad COM
pany may veneer the new depot but
whether this is done or not the build
ing will be an ornament and the COM
forts of any building are to be found
on the inside.
1t has been asserted by some people
that unless the new depot is brick
veneered or built of brick that Dako-
ia street should not be vacated, and
that several other things would hap
pen if the company didn't do as the
city wanted. AS to what is going to
happen we are not informed but it is
certaintv that the company must
have depot and room to do business
and on this proposition there is no
dispute.
Now what is likely to happen If the
company is harassed and delayed it's
work Of improvement.
The answer can be guessed at if
the history of other towns are con-
sidered where railroad work was OBJ
structed and stopped.
Canton is Milwaukee town and
may never have another line Of road
and we believe Canton will fare better
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1907-09-27

by having the good will of the COM
pany than its i'll will. At least we
have no knowledge of town that
made much fighting railroad, Rail-
road management is coldblooded
business proposition. The manage
ment is composed of men who hold
their positions through appointment
and few of the division superintend-
ents have much to say on business
matters outside of their special line
of work
If Canton was blotted off the map
the railroad would continue to run
westward to Mitchell and Rapid City
just the same.
The Leader earnestly suggests mod
Grafton in dealing with this depot
question. If we can't get brick,
stone or marble depot, let us take
what the company has decided upon.
The company owns the ground on
which the new depot is being built,
and the company is paying for all i'm
provements, and the company under
the law is entitled to sufficient room
to do its business, both for passengers
and freight, street or no street and
there you are.
Nobody wants a depot half a mile
east or half a mile west of town, yet
in many cases railroad companies
have accepted such an alternative
rather than bother with obstruction
and litigation.
We believe that Superintendent
Collins feels quite friendly to Canton
and the company has many improve
ments in view besides the new depot.
If the city and the company work in
harmony Canton will have no reason
to regret the good feeling in the fu-
ture, because the com pany is planning
improvements that will double the
pay roll here. Canton will become a
division point eventually because 1t
stands on the busiest cross lines the
company has in the state.
Let us all pull together for bigger
Canton.

Cost of EiIIino SiIo.

Professor King found that the av-
erage cost of cutting and putting corn
into the silo on a number Of Wisconsin
farms was 5S.8 cents per ton.
Professor Georgeson of Kansas found
that it cost 62.3 cents, 100 cents and
sos cents for three different silos, or an
average of 61.3 cents per ton of silage
put up.
T. L. Allen, Kinsman, O., says: With
modern machinery and good manage
ment corn can be put into the silo at
So to 40 cents per ton. Indeed, with
our large machinery and strong force
of men we have put it in the silo for
less than 80 cents.
c. ]. Zintheo, an expert in farm me-
chanics, concludes that, with the larger
and improved ensilage cutters having
self feeders and blowers and with best
methods in handling the corn, it is safe
to say that corn may be harvested and
put into the silo at an average of so
cents per ton.

s Doqs on Dairy Farms.

An Indiana dairyman has discovered
that it does not pay to send the dog
after the cows or even to allow one
around the lots in which the dairy herd
is quartered for the night, says Farm
ers Advocate. In a personal letter he
has the following to say:
81 am convinced that a dog on the
dairy farm is the cause of more loss
than any other agent. 1 have been ex-
perimenting for over year and believe
that 1 know what l am talking about.
A test made recently shows about the
same as the average of the others
made before. The dog was sent after
a COW which was grazing about eighty
with the usual haste and was MIXED
at once. The milk was tested, and it
showed a butter fat content of 2.S per
cent. The following morning the milk
was again tested, when it showed a
butter fat content of Al per cent. Three
days later the COW was driven up by
the hired man and the milk tested at
6.3 per cent. The following morning ii
tested 6.5 per cent. l have made this
experiment so many times with the
same results that 1 am led to conclude
that it is reliable. The difference
amounts to nearly pound of butter
in the COW giving twenty-five pounds
of milk per day.
