The County Physician.

AS there is considerable misunder-
standing in regard to the action of
the board of supervisors last week in;
the change of county physician from
not out of place to state how it
occurred. 1t was political move
pure and simple, and was in no way a
personal matter. There was no fault
found as far as we have heard with
DR.. Calls administration. Further ;
mure, che had not the least notion
that any move was afoot looking to
a change. 1t happened in this way.
Toward the end of the session, ID. A.
Fraser made motion that the Office
of county physician be declared.
vacant, to take effect Immediately.
The republican members were as
much surpI ised at the suddenness OF,
this step as the doctor. The motion
was carried by the votes of Fraser.
Strohm and Burke; Amick aud GrlIlo.
voting mo. Thereupon the clerk
read the application OF DIR. Endicott
for the position. There was no other
formal application before the board
there was no opportunity given to
put in an application. On this,vote
the board was unanimous. The re-
publlcans were not precluded from
voting for DIR. Gall or any one else IL
they choose to do so. They were in
the minority, and could not have
prevented the change if they had
tried. They voted with the others,
on the ground that 1t would have
been useless to have done otherwise.
An erroneous idea has got abroad that
the republicans Joined IN the move
to make the change. This is not
stli ictly correct. They opposed the
declaration of a vacancy, ahd thereby
voted to keep the incum bent ifflthe
position. They we're outvotetf oh this
issue, and a change being decided
upon, they then voted for the choice
of the majority. ''' ~
1t is the privilege of the board to
make change when It, deems such
actions wise for political or other
reasons. But it is not so much the
fact that change was made, as the
way it was done. What the people
are talking about is the secrecy of tie
affair. Public business they Think
should be transacted In an open and
above board method. 1t is usual in
Legislative bodies to give notice of an
intended motion. This is to put the
members OIL the alert. they know
what is coming, and it should be so
in aIli important proceedings in a
board of supervisors.

The most astonishing feature Of
ne present mining stock situation
is the vide breech between the
l- IS of Nevada stocks and the
heavy production of Nevada mines.
The output OF the mines has never
before been 50 great, but quotations
have never before been so low. II
would seem that there are reasons
for this condition other than the
tightness OF money in the east.
In big headlines a San Francisco
newspaper announces that il has dis
covered the chief reason. II says
thai it has abundant evidence that a
clique OF San Francisco brokers have
organized q movement to persistently
mound down the stock prices for he
purpose Of making money - e

exists. cannot hold together long,
and is sure TO react upon those en
gagged in the interruptions raidlng.

Speaking of the agitation against

They've. all of us-should have
considered the possible effects of this

fore conditions that made its growth
possible were allowed to continue. II
we had all met on common ground
and co-operated for our mutual benefit
nobody would be worrying over the

railways can expect to receive more

arrest.

conference with him at his residence
relative to the quickest method of re-
covering the boy and capturing the.
kidnapers.
THE governor is greatly Interested"
said Mr.. Cahill. and desires to as
sure you that no pains or reasonable
expense will be spared to get back
our boy"

@. X. Howard Says Losses Will NOT

BE AS Heavy as Expected.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
weather during January and a part
OF ebruary, C. X. Howard, a Sioux
Falls pioneer and now president OF
the Western South Dakota Stockmens
association, whose range is on the
Cheyenne river, east of the Black Hills,
takes a hopeful view of the
with reference TO losses of stock our
ing the remainder of the winter, the
sleet storms and cold rains of Marcn
and April being about the hardest Tor
the cattle to ndure.
In a letter to a friend Mr. Howard
tates that taking it altogether the
present winter-that is, the early por-
ton of it's the most severe he c
remember since the winter of 1851
and hat it reminds him of the win
ter of 1867, when it killed the deer
antelope, elk and the Indian ponies,
II saw he writes, "a band of elk that
winter within twenty miles of where
Sioux City now is situated, that num-
bered at least 500 or 600 head. Many
persisted. The snow was. four and hve
feet deep on a level and h u
made il impossible to travel. Indians
on snowshoes would walk up to a deer
and knock him on the head with q
Ratchet"
Mr.. Howard is engaged in stock
raising on an extensive scale, FEW OF
the present ranchmen of western
South Dakota having a greater num-
Der of cattle than he. During the ex-
tremely cold and stormy weather or
January and the fore part OF Fepru-
airy he was compelled to feed over =
500 head of cows, calves and weak an
tr<n
their own food on the open range,
owing to the fact that at that time the
range was covered by a mass OF Ice
and cattle and horses We're unable 10
reach the grasses which usually fur-
nish their winter feed.
