MAKE DEMAND FOR HERD LAW.
Lyman County Farmers Are Urging
Legislation.

The question of a herd law for the
country west of the river is apparent
ly being pushed by Lyman county be-
fore the legislature. People from
other counties do not appear to take
any great interest in the matter. The
Lyman county farmers. however, are
in earnest in their demands for such
a law, but would be satisfied with a
county option bill on the subject.
Such a bill, if carried in Lyman.
would mean practically the same law
for Stanley. as a steer would refuse
10 recognize a county line if he came
to it. On. Stanley county stock raiser
said it did not make any great
amount of difference to him, as the
homesteaderS in that county a all
trained their dogs TO know the ines
of their claims. and as soon as a
strange steer appeared wlthln their
lines. the dog started him Tor the
next claim. where another dog was
waiting to run him to the fartheSt line
of his home claim is the direction the
steer was headed. only to be met by
vet another dog, which procession eX'
tended away into unknown distance
and when the owner started out to
find a steer which Wa off the home
range. he had no idea how far nor IN
what direction the dogs had taken
him.
The dentists of the state are get
ting tangled up among themselves. and
are having a pleasant time before
the houSee medical committee. Den
fist Carlisle of Sioux Falls secured
the introduction Of a bin which re-
duces the requirements of dentists
~practicing in the state, and is here
to push his bill. Dentists Mccartney
of Mitchell, Palmer of Madison and
Wilson Of Miller are here opposing
the bill. Carlisle claims the present
dentists Of the state have formed a
close corporation to shut out and
limit the supply, and that he employs
several men III his work, when he can
get them, but the requirements ana
eXactions Of the state dental board
prevent his securing the helD he de-
sires.
The travelling men are represented
by Fred J. Vetsch, the head Of their
legislative committee, who wants bet
ter sanitation, cleaner linen and bet
ter fire escapes in hotels, TO make
life more pleasant and secure for trav-
cling men in this state, and he hopes
to ecure the passage Of their bill
which is now before both houses.

COUNTY OPTION.
Opposition Appears in Turner end
other Localities.

Opposition Appears in Turner end
other Localities.
Turner county people do not appear
to want a county local option law for
the control of the liquor traffic, judg.
ing by the petitions that are being
circulated in opposition to the bill now
pending in the Legislature, in all parts
of the county. 1t Is claimed thar the
counties need a few saiOons at least in
order that they may use the money re-
ceived from the licenses to prosecute
the blind piggers" in the dry towns,
which funds would otherwise have to
be raised by direct taxation, and
drunkenness would not cease in either
case. Besides, each town or city
ought to be able to govern itself. II
is understood that other counties have
taken up the fight and hat the county
option bill may have some hard sled
ding before it.

MAY END DELAY OF CAPITOL PROJECT

The bill introduced by Senator Good
ner of Pierre for the new capitol, pro-
vides for the raising of funds by the
sale of the capitol lands, and in case
the amount SO raised by Dec. /, 1908,
has not been sufficient for the work
the state is called upon to supply from
the general fund, $40, 600 for the COM
pletion of the work. The total esti-
mated cost of the building is $500 900.
In the bill materials produced in the
state are TO be given a . pei cent ad-
vantage over materials from outside
the state, where they a be used in
the building.
1t is hoped that the building can be
completed in time for the legislative
session Of 1911.
The capital fight started with the
admission of the state in 1889, and has
been in existence from that time until
the present, and in all its phases will
not be finished until the construction
work on the new building is under
way. The first fight was a free-for-all
mix-up between Pierre, Huron, Water
town, Redtield, Sioux Falls, Mitchell
and Chamberlain. In this, Pierre won

IN REVOLT.
Farmers of Lyman County Opposed to
Division.

The farming population of Lyman
county are "up in arms over the pro,
posed th~ree-cOunty scheme tor that
county. They are holding meetings
and appointing delegations to come to
Pierre to oppose the bill, which they
claim is only a county seat boom
move for the towns of PreshO and
Murdo. One delegation arrived at
Pierre only to find that the members
had left for their homes, but they say
they will be back to oppose the move.
The bill which has been introduced
proposes to revive the old or
Presho and Pratt. which were counties
before the consolidation scheme OF
1897, the central county to take the
name Of Presho and the western one
Pratt. While some OF the farmers are
willing that the plan go through in

becomes effective, others are opposed
to any action whatever now.

MAY BE DIVISION POINT.
Northwestern Railroad Buys More
Land at Clark, S. D.

The purchase by the Chicago G
North Western Railroad company of
additional land at Clark has caused
the people of that place to hope that
Clark, as has always been claimed,
would be the case at some period, is
to be made a division point on that
great railrod systeTc. With the ad.
ditional land which the company has
just purchased, it o own at Clark
more than ever will be used for or.
binary railroad purposes, and this has
led to the belief that a division point
is about to be established there.
Should this hope be realized, Clark,
which has a desirable location, will
become one of the important railroad
osnters in Northeastern South Dakota.
