DRAWING THE LONG BOW"
Some Remarkable Exploits Credited to
Shooters of Arrows.

The expression drawing long bow" does not
of necessity means the telling OF falSehood II
sometimes refers To wonderful story which may
be true enough. but which Is so marvellous as to
require Il firm in the veracity OF the narrator
TO enable the nearer to believe IL. Some os the
longest bows OF this sort haye been drawn about
bows and arrows.
These stories began long ago. Virgil. in the
".Eneid,' tells of four archers who were shooting
for a prize. the mark being a pigeon tied by
cord to the mast of ship. The first hit the
mast the second cut the cord, and the third shot
the pigeon it flew away. The fourth archer.
having nothing left shoot. drew his bow and
sent his flying toward the sky with such
speed that the friction Of the air set the feathers
fire. and it swept on. like meteor to disappear
in the clouds.
The stories told Of Robin Hoods archery, illus
trated by his wonderful performance as LOcksIey

upon modern credulity. Tho famous story OF Will

Dane, named toke; OF whom the same story is

Most stories Of bows and arrows relate to the ac-

arrow shooting is that Of the Indians that used 10

We repeat, that this is a matter of
vital Importance to Mitchell. We
are at the parting of the ways; the
unanimity of our citizens, the 10y
atty of our business men, the
Mitchell way" has brought our city
to a splendid development. We have
come to the place where our inter
ests are endangered, and other
towns which have taken up these
matters with vigor promise to leave
us behind unless we nov promptly,
vigorously, and successfully. Shall
Mitchell in the next five years be-
some a town of from twelve to ff-
teeen thousand, or shall it drop
back? 1t is not an alarmist's cry;
it is an open question. Every citi-
e should interest himself in this
movement for a greater Mitchell, and
see that it becomes a town of fifteen
thousand by 1912.

SHY OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS
Country Assessors DO Not Make Any
Showing on Finding House.
hold Goods Out There.

When the assessors of the country
precincts we're in session with the
county commissioners, Auditor An
derson called their attention to the
fact that according to The assessment
books there are little, if any house
hold goods in the various townships
OF Dawson county. Mr.. Anderson
explained that the household goods
We're assessed at such a low value
thai when the exemptions are applied
that there is nothing left to this
portion of the assessment in the
country, and it appears that nothing
in the household goods line has been
assessed.
Practically all the assessment
on household goods is made in
Mitchell, with a very small portion
out at Mt. Vernon. 1t has been the
custom of the country assessors for
a number of years to make the as
sessment on these goods very light,
and with the exemptions that the cit
ger is entitled to under the law the
farmer would have no taxes to pay
on that class. There are mighty few
farmers in Dawson county these days
but who has a home that is comfort
ably filled with household goods on
which a value of from $50 to SIS
could be placed and still be doing a
justice to the other taxpayers of the
county. Nor does it look very -four
ishing for a county to admit that its
inhabitants, at least half of them,
are living without the n~ecessaries in
the house.
The country assessors have a duty
to perform in making this assess
ment higher, and they are entitled
to and required to under the law,
and we do not believe any farmer
would honestly object to paying his
share of the personal taxes of the
county or household goods.

The Presidents Land Policy.

Baltimore News: President Roose-
velt's policy with regard to the pub
lie lands is based on sound views OF
public interest. Under the loose and
defective land laws, systematic loot
ing of public resources has been go
ing on for many years for the en-
richment of corporations and indi-
viduals at the public expense. Is
this spoilation had no more serious
aspect than that Of ill-gotten gain, il
would be bad enough: but it is vast
ing U of inestimable value to
future generations. The natural ba-
sis of economic opportunity may be
permanently impaired and social
progress blighted. There are things
that it is dangerous to surrender to
the unrestricted activity of private
enterprise. To devastate the forests
may be a means of rolling up wealth
in the present, but it wastes a ma
tional. estate that could be SO man
aged as to yield large current sup
plies and at the same time be pre-
served and improved. The working
of the coal mines has been carried
on in a ~rack-renting style by private
enterprise, and the establishing 81
public control over areas still belong
ing to the nation is Of great import
ance to the general welfare.

One on the Preachers.

The preachers in a certain coast
town noted for it's Sabbath observ-
ance were greatly incensed over the
fact that printed cards bearing the
name of a well-known shipbuilding
firm had been received by prominent
citizens, inviting them to attend the
launching of a vessel on the next
Sunday afternoon, the reason being
given that the tide was highest on
that day.
Sunday came and in every church
the launching was widely advertised
and denounced, and it was not until
late in the day that some one re-
membered it was April the first.

The THOMAS ORCHESTRA
This Great Musical Aggregation
Coming to Mitchell for the
Big May Festival.

twenty-five or thirty of the men
who have become responsible for the
bringing of the Thomas orchestra to
Mitchell met at the Club rooms last
evening, to organize the movement
and to lay plans for pushing the
meeting to a successful consumma-
ton. A committee of general man
agement, consisting of H. G. Mich
OILS, Frank H. Winsor, Emery w.
Hobson, S. H. Scallin, and T. c.
Burns, was appointed, while G. w.
Downey, H. G. Nichols, and Prof. T.
r. Graham were appointed a COM
mittee on advertising. The meeting
decided to employ a man competent
for the work to go at once to the
towns within seventy-ive miles OF
Mitchell, to place proper advertis-
ing, and to lay plans for bringing in
a large number of outside people.
1t was decided to plat the Corn Pal
ace, and make the prices for seats
ranging from $3.50 down to SO
cents. A committee, consisting of s.
H. Scallin, E. w. Hobson. and H. g.
Nichols, was appointed to make the
plat of the Corn Palace; to arrange
the seats according to these prices;
to settle the question Of the method
of issuing season tickets, and the
prices at which they should be is
sued; to securing the printing Of the
tickets, and other matters incidental
to this item.
1t is a great thing for Mitchell to
secure such an aggregation as the
Thomas orchestra. They bring with
them fifty-five trained musicians:
Mr.. Bruno Steindel, one of the fore
most cellists in the country; Mr.. Leo
pold Kramer, one of the finest violin
%virtuosos in America; in addition
four vocalists of the highest rank, in
the persons of Mrs. Rider Kelsey.
Miss Janet Spencer, Mr.. Edward
Johnston, and Mr.. Herbert Wither-
spoon. DR.. Nicholson reports that
when in Chicago at Easter time these
four persons were the prominent o
loists and singers in the great Easter
Concert of the Apollo Club, consist
ing of three hundred and fifty of the
finest musicians in Chicago. Simf-
larly, when he was in Cincinnati, not
long since, they were recognized
there in the great Symphony Concerts
as among the foremost singers of the
country. These people are not to be
heard anywhere else in South Da-
kota, nor in western Iowa this year.
Our people should appreciate this
great opportunity and see that tho
Corn Palace is filled to it's utmost
capacity.
