Let's see. First, Crawford was a
bad man with an Unsuitable thirst
for office. He carried the primaries
and they endorsed him for governor.
They even deemed him so good that
they tried to get him TO wear the toga.

went from bad TO worse, and was "A

Now that sounds nice, but, what the
people of South Dakota want to be
positive about is what their represent

refuses to run. There is no getting

Last weeks Brookings Press con
tanned a comparative statement of the
assessed valuation OF farm lands, town
| lots personal property, railroad pro-
perty, etc, for the years 1906 and 1907
The statement shows that while the
raise in the assessed valuation of farm
lands is $575,342, the raise in the as
sessed valuation in railroad, telegraph
and express property, is sl01,3l0, and
tends to show that a discrimination
has been made against the farm pro-
perty in raising the valuations. An
analysis of the figures, however, will
not bear out this statement as may be
seen from the following comparison:
According to the figures given by the
Press we find that il 1906 from farm
lands, town lots and personal property
were assessed at s6,772,1S4 while in
1907 the same property is given as
assessed valuation of $7,37S,272-an
increase of S606,0SS, or nearly NINE
per cent. In 1906 the railroads, West
ern Union, express companies and
sleeping car companies were assessed
at $466,527 while in 1907 the assessed
valuation of these companies was plac.
ed at 1857, S37-an increase OF $101,31O
or nearly TWENTY-FIVE per cent
The telephone assessment was reduc-
ed, but as fully one-half of the tele.
phone business in this county is own
ed by the municipality of Brookings and
local farmers companies, 1t is about
a stand-off between local and for.
eign corporate assessment Why re-
duction was made in the valuation of
bank stock we do not know, unless
bank stock has heretofore been as
sessed higher than other property, as
claimed by state board Of equalization.
No one is pleased with an increase of
taxes, no matter to what party or fac
ton he Is affiliated, but it is no more
than fair when making a comparison
to give the percentage Of increase as
well as the aggregate amounts.--volga

Gov. Buchtel HOnOred Guest
of Canon City Annual Banquet

The second number on the program
was the reading of an original poem
by j. w. Emmerson. 1t was full of
the boosting spirit to which Governor
Buchtel alluded and evoked generous
applause from the audience, touching
as IL did the keynote of the occasion.
After the rendition OF selection by
tn. quartette, the toastmaster read
several letters and kilograms from
gentlemen who were unable to be
present ON account of illness and other
causes. Among the regrets were mes
sages from Gen. w. ]. Palmer of Col
orado Springs, Clarence c. Hamlin of
Colorado Springs. Col. Willis Wood of
Kansas City. William Huttig of Kan
sas City, Mr.. Kenworthy, Mr.. Field
Mr.. McNeill and others.
S. II. Atwster spoke on Irrigation
Its Benefits and Possibilities" He
said that irrigation did not have its
origin in California and Colorado. as
many people imagined. but was prac-
ticed by our ancestors 900 years ago.
Z
Mr.. Atwater stated that two-fifths OF
all the land in the United States need
ed irrigation and that IL was only in
the beginning of its usefulness to
mankind.
One OF the funny numbers on the
program was a poem by Phil Hamlin
of Denver, a la Riley. in which some
appreciated jokes were perpetrated on
Gov. Peabody, Gov. Buchtel, Col Hoop
er. Gen Maupin, r. s. Lewis and
Iothers. Mr.. Hamlin's verse glittered
with Jest and witticisms and received
its need of praise.
Rev J. T. Thomas spoke on the
Social Side of Canon City" He said
that nowhere was there more whole
some social life than in Canon City,
due 10 a large extent to its splendid
schools and churches and to the high
standard of its citizenship.
The records of the churches show,
declared Rev. Thomas, that more peo-
pie were received into membership by
the churches here last year than in
any community in the state of equal
population. They also show" he con-
ltinued, that the churches OF Canon
City last year issued to members few
er letters of withdrawal than any
other town OF like population in the
state"

Prominent Men Entertained at Banquet
Given BY Merchants Association Last
Wednesday Night Boosters Club Start
ed---Everybody Had Good Time.

The commin fling of the guests OF
the association in the lobby during
the early hours OF the evening was
most agreeable and enabled them TO
meet upon the common ground of
mutual esteem and good Will. which
subsequently manifested itself in a
spirit of fraternity and goodfellowship.
IL was not congenial atmosphere for
the cynical man. as the virus of that
push and smile" philosophy was
abroad and seemed to have innocul-
ated the assemblage with an overmas-
tering contagion TO boost for every
thing that goes to make people hap
pier, more prosperous and more con-
tented.

into a vision OF eplcurean loveliness
that would have tempted the appetite
of an Emperor Lucullius. Gov. Pea
body oificiated as toastmaster, and af-
ter the viands had been cleared away
and the guests were enjoying their
cigars the formal program was inau-
gurated by Henry Hutton, president of
the Merchants Association, who briefly
introduced the toastmaster, which was
the signal for that enthusiasm and
applause which lasted, with short in-
termissions to allow the guests to OBJ
tain n fresh supply of oxygen for
breathing purposes, until a. M.
Governor Buchtel. who was the
guest of honor. was the first speaker.
He was introduced as the best after
dinner talker In the state, compli-
ment that he sustained. The governor
said that Il was always a pleasant
thing TO address an assemblage OF
Colorado men because of their intel
ligence, their goodfellowship and their
cosmopolitan character. There is no
town anywhere in the east of 1000
people" said Gov. Buchtel. where
you could find SO many men of ideas,
SO many sections of our
common country as you have here to-
night in Canon City. The boosting
spirit is everywhere in Colorado be-
cause we in Colorado have something
to boost about President Roosevelt
has said that Colorado is destined to
become the playground of the Repub-
lie 1t is more than that, II is the
most delightful place on the planet to
live. You can always make ten per
cent on your money In Colorado. when
you do not make twenty per cent,
"There is a comradeship among the
people in the west that you do not
find anywhere else. There is nothing
like It in the east, and we are lifted
up and exalted by that association
which we get, one from another"
The governor closed his address by
that the assemblage drink
to the sentiment uttered by Mr.. Dooley
"The West is the place where you can
use your voice without dlsturbin' the
scenery"

EFFECT OF THE FOOD Law.
Driving Many Worthless Catarrh Med
icines Out of Existence.

The Pure Food and Drug Law which
went into effect the first of January
has already shown the good that will
follow its enforcement
Many worthless remedies, that have
been advertised for the cure Of ca
tarrh, disease that is universally
prevalent, have been driven out of
existence by the Pure Food law.
The effect of this is to increase the
sale OF remedies that are valuable and
that fulfill the provisions of the law.
Hyomei, for example, is meeting with
a larger sale than ever before, and
Mitchell & Egbers are still selling it
under a guarantee that it will cure
catarrh or the money will be re-
funded. Hyomei is a scientific treat
ment that is recommended by the best
physicians 1t cures catarrh without
stomach dosing, through inhaling
medications that go right to the af-
fected spots.
BY breathing Hyomei three or four
times daily through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
its medicated, healing air penetrates
to the most remote parts of the nose,
throat and lungs, searches out and
kills all catarrh germs and soothes
and heals any irritation in the mucous
membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
S1.O0. extra bottles if needed, SOC, and
is sold by Mitchell & Egbers under a
guarantee that it will cure of cost
nothing.
