The cigaret output of 1858, 729, 015 in
the calendar year of 1906 must have
come as a surprise to the bulk of the
trade. but more stunning yet Is the in
crease In n year OF 842. 240, 452, an in
crease by nearly 800, 00O, 900 larger than
the increase Of u cigar industry dur
Ing the same year. This jump Is the
more remarkable in the face OF the pro-
hounced and unrelenting hostility Of
q half dozen state legislatures which
have ostracized not only the manufac-
ture but also the handling and con-
sumption of cigarets within the confines
OF their respective territories.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 23.-One Of the
most important bills of the session
comes from the committee on judiciary
today. 1t proposes to increase the num-
Der of supreme court judges from three
to five and for this + redistrict
the state.
One of the new districts would COM
prise that part of the state lying south
of the southern boundary of Dawson
county n taking in the new counties
Of Gregory, Trip and Meyer on the
west of the river. A new judge would
naturally be supplied from this district.
Judge Hancy's district would extend
to the northern line of Lake and Miner
and on through west, taking in also Ly-
man on the west of the river. Judge
rulers district would extend to the
northern boundary Of Deuel., taking in
also Sphinx, Faux, Potter and Camp
of the river.
Another New District.
Another new district would be formed
of the balance of the state lying north
of Fuller's district, including the coun-
ties of Foreman. and Dewey and
Schnasse on the west side of the river.
Judge Corson'S district would take i'm
the big county of Butte on the north.

would have the smallest of the districts
from the standpoint of population. ex-
panse will equalize IL. There is said
to be some politics involved I'm the.
boundaries of the districts as provided
in this bill which will appear as the
discussion of the measure proceeds. It
is probable that another formation of
districts will appear If the parties in
terested can get q committee renort

BISHOP HARE'S APPEAL
WORKED ON SUNDAY
TO KILL DIVORCE BILL.

Pierre, s. D., Feb. &.-The milling
that has been done over Sunday on
the divorce quest ton has borne fruit
and the opponents of the measure
have succeeded in delaying the
adoption of the senate committee
report until Wednesday. The pro-
gram OF delay Is well mapped u
for a bill which will now hardly be
disposed of by the senate this week.
If IL could have been acted upon
by the senate earlier ii might have
scored a partial victory before final
ly being defeated In the house, but
now it seems that the senate will
have the fate of the measure n
tirely in It's own hands and is pre-
pared TO put Ii 10 a slow death.

DOWDELL SAYS IT
IS INSID|OUS FOE
His School Book Bill Aimed
at Octopus Is
Knitted.
No REGISTERED LOBBY
Sanborn County Senator Decla res That
Book Trust Hides Behind the
Cioaks of State
Educators.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 26.-The desth Of
Dowdell's uniform text book bin Is not
an absolute bereavement. as there are
more like 1t, and others which look like
It but are different. But none of them
will furnish the pyrotechnics which at
tended the progress OF his bill through
the senate. II is the one real fight or
the session.. 1t was q fight In the COM
mittee and the best that Dowdell could
get from this committee, which was
disposed to kill ii, was a report without
recommendation. The suspicion of the
committee as well as the members of
the senate had been aroused through
the agency of the representatives OF
the o trusts and every paragraph
of the bill was submitted to the most
thorough examination II criticism.
This made no difference to the senator
from Sanborn. who had been through
other wars and was prepared to fight
this one to a finish. He was told that
his measure meant cheaper books, like
they nave in Indiana under the law OF
which Dowdell's is a counterpart.
He Sent for Books.
He offered to share the expense of
sending for the books furnished TO In
diana under the contract, and when the
books arrived they were ound to be
the Identical books furnished In this
state. except that they were of two
grades better paper and were furnished
for 40 per cent. less than is paid In this
state.
The measure was called up and failed
of the clear majority OF all members,
though having a majority OF one of the
number voting. The effort was then
made to table all further consideration
of the bill, but this failed and the bill
was brought up on a special order and
defeated on a tie vote which lacked
Two Of a clear majority.
At every u Dowdell has added
strength to his single handed fight
against the representatives OF the look
trust and has displayed the fighting
qualities which brought him to the
front of the ranks In the days of pop
ulism.
Strong Opposition.
He had as natural opponents of the
bill two OF the foremost lawyers of that
body, Dillon and Dudley, and in the
final round he was also opposed by
Goodner and by Kruger, the latter the
Dnly practical educator In the senate.
A peculiar fact in connection with
the work OF the book trusts is that not
.withstanding the anti-lobbying bill has
become effective there Is no registration
of any representative of that octopus
among the twenty-five or more accred-
tied representatives OF special inter-
This also is In line with Dow
delIs contention that the foes he has
had TO fight are not out in the open but
are concealed behind the educational
of the state, which are in a
ineasur subject to undue influence
exerted from secret sources.

this lies the agricultural salvation of
the west, and II is now proposed to
start a broad, unprejudiced movement,
in which every state affected shall
take part, to further develop these
soil culture systems and bring them to
the attention of the world at large.
IL Is necessary, also, so II Is said
by those who are interested, that
some steps be taken to educate the
farmers who are today coming into
the dry lands of the west. In Colo
RADIO alone $4,000 new homeseekers
nave settled themselves within a year
twelve hundred homesteads in Kit
Carson county, Colorado, were taken
up In 1905, and this record was almost
Il not quite, equalled by other oun
ties in other western states. OF
these great bodies of settlers, the
large proportion are from eastern
states, and are entirely unfamiliar
with western conditions.
The purpose of the congress which
Will meet In Denver this month is,
first of all. to form a permanent, edu-
c|ational, interstate organization some
what on the line OF the National lrri-
CATION congress-, and second, to afford
a full and free discussion of the prin-
ciples of scientific soil culture, and of
their development in the west. Speak
tTS Will De present from every state
west of the Missouri river. The United
States department Of agriculture Will
be represented, it is hoped, by Secre-
tary Wilson. Every agricultural coll
lege in the west will have its man in
attendance. Mead of Washington,
Campbell of Nebraska, DIN of Colo
RADIO, Jardine of Utah. and a score of
others of the brightest agricultural
minds in the country are on the pro-
gram, and few things that refer to
dry farming will remain unsaid.
In order to prevent the gathering of
a large and unwieldy voting body,
Governor Mcdonald has limited the
number of official delegates who may
attend. Bernalillo county. however.
is entitled to ten delegates. Copies
of the official call, and an urgent in
vitation to appoint delegates at once,
have been sent to the county commits
sioners, and it is expected that they
will act in the matter within the next
few days.
In spite of the voting limit, how
ever, it is desired that, every farmer
and business man in B|ernalillo county
who is interested in dry farming and
can get away from home should at
tend, regardless of whether or not he
is an official delegate from the county.
Convention headquarters nave been
opened at Room 5, Albany hotel, Den
yer, where all visitors to the city will
be made welcome, and full informa-
ton given.
