The news of the reelection Of
Messrs. Hearn and Colwell Of this city
to the offices of president and secre-
tary, respectively, Of the national body
Of the Knights Of Columbus. was
awaited with some dubiousndss BY
their friends here last evening. There
were warm contests on for both Of

1t was rumored about town early last
evening that Mr.. Colwell had been de-
feated for the office of grand secrs-
tary in spite Of the years Of service
which he had to his credit The rumor
was supposed to be based on private
kilograms sent to friends Of the oppos-

were later proved to be untrue, as
Mr. Colwell was elected by large
| majority.

Secured a Ruling.

Frank Stewart has returned from his
Washington trip where, with other
western cattlemen he appeared before
the committee on agriculture in regard
to leasing proposition for government
lands. The plan now outlined is to al
low leases in tracts large enough 10 pro
vide pasturage, with the homesteader
privileged to take up the land at any
time. He may go inside the pasture
if he chooses, but in that case he must
fence his quarter section, but is given
the right to run a certain specified num-
Der OF cattle and horses in the pasture
at large, without any cost to himself.
The plan is proposed for the entire
grazing west and, while it will apply to
South Dakota, iC cannot affect anything
in this part OF the state, as the land is
too closely homesteaded to allow for
any government leases on tracts large
enough to be Of any benefit TO the per-

Restore the Old Privilege

Sioux Falls Press: During the legis
lative session Of 1905 law was enac ted
repeating a law by which insurers of
properly were enabled to save Is per
cent of the existing premium through
co-insurance. There is a bill in the
Legislature that seeks TO restore the
old law, but ithas not come prominent
ly to the front in the transactions OF
that body. ItWould be a safe proceed
ing to undo any OF the work of the
legislature of 1905 in relation to in.
surance matters, not from prejudice,
but from the known disposition Of that
Legislature to enact anything that
would do more for the insurer than the
insured. The corrective measure is
favored by the property owners of
cities who find it necessary to place
ttieir risks in several companies and
they are asking the legislature 20 restore

A STEP TO EASY STREET
Dairying Is the Most Profitable Of
Farm Operations.

Dairying is seldom engaged i'll TO any
countries are usually devoted to meat
production, and as conditions change
and civilization advances the milk COW
surpasses the beef animal. This has
always been the case. One has heard
very little of dairy production among
the pilgrim fathers. When the frontier
moved west to the Mississippi river, the
people OF Illinois began to make butter
Later, as the frontier reached South
Dakota, the fields of this state were
devoted to beef cattle, and farmers in
Iowa sought the dairy type. One step
more and the beef producers have
crossed the Missouri river. We are in
a transition period. The beef interests
are still profitable and prosperous, but
no longer paramount. The dairy COW
has begun to contest the rights of the
beef breed. The struggle is on in east
ell South Dakota, What are the rea-
sons for this? In the first place, the
production and marketing Of dairy pro,
ducts depend upon commercialsm.
There is, no strong demand for these
products in a new country. In the
second place, beef can be produced
with less work than butter, and the
farmer in new country is devoting
his time to suLduing the land. Final
ly, the conditions demand dairying.
When people of any section, however
rich in agricultural pursuits, come up
to the point where it is no longer
possible to SOW seed and reap ABUNDANT
harvesUs, they look for some method of
retaining the fertility of the soil The
dairy COW has solved the problem in
the eastern portion Of this state.
Darying represents more work than
beef raising, but it represents better re-
turns, regular returns, and, what IS
Of more Importance still, it represents
method by which the fertility and pro-
ductiveness Of the soil may be preserved.

DAKOTANS CLAIM HONOR
Led Charges for Which Gen. Funston

J kansas that swan the Marilao river
Ein the face of hot fire and captured
the Filipino rebouts?
Is it possible shat there has been in
our midst a real for sure hero whose
herolSm has gone uulauded while
another has reaped he plaudits OF Il
yalorouS deed?
History says that it was Funston who
performed the feat which won the
admiration of a nation, and the asser-
toms made that his rapid promotion
in the army is due to the reckless BRAY
cry the kansan displayed in leading his
men through the water under rain OF
bullets and charging the intrenchments
of the enemy.
But some of the veterans Of the South
Dakota regiment believe that Gen.
Funston and his Kansas Jayhawkers
have been getting the glory that be
longed to themselves and their comman.
der and they propose to see the matter
righted, even at this late day.
When it became known in South
Dakota that the colonel had been
placed in nomination for mayor of
Evanston they wrote. back letters in
dorsng him and at the same time lay
ing claims for him to the honors that
Funston has been enjoying unchalleng-
ed SO long.
Col Frost yesterday admitted that
it was his regiment and himself that
swan the Marilao and stormed the in
tfenchments, aud he says that Funston
stream until the next day, after the
fight was all over.
Col. Frost believes the mistake in
assigning the credit to Funston was
due to the difficulty which the news.
papers had in getting accurate Inform
alton from the 'front.' and he says that,
anyway, everything of a spectacular
nature seemed to be always attributed
to Funston.
Il do not wish to detract from any

day it is not worth bringing up at all, ,"
