Mr.. Fred Mix. Editor of the
Fort Pierre Independent,
Dear Sir:
In your paper Of the oath you
say l am a candidate for the Office
of county Judge. This must be
your 'dream,' Fred, for the man
does not live in Stanley county or
elsewhere that ever heard sug-
gestion or the most distant intima-
ton from me Of any such desire
or purpose. Nor am l offended
as you intimate at Governor Craw-
ford for turning down any aspira
tions of mine for appointment to
any Office, but quite the contrary.
OF so much | can speak from per-
sonal knowledge.
As to when Governor Crawford
received Chapter pa Of the 1907
session laws. entitled ''trespass of
animals" have no personal
knowledge. but am informed by
residents Of Pierre, whose veracity
l should very much dislike to
doubt. that the Governor received
the bill more than five days before
the legislature adjourned.
Furthermore. Brother Mix. |
assure you that my dream was
not all a dream.
AS to whether am in my
dotage or not, as you say, ] am
ready at any time and in any
manner you may suggest to test
that question with you.
Very truly yours,
S. j. CoNKL1N.

The best stock suffered most.
Animals that had shed and were
in prime condition were carried Oft
in great numbers. Bunches that
had not been well cared for dur
ing the winter and still retained
their heavy winter coats of hair
frequently came through the storm
without loss.
Horses seemed as rule to
suffer more than cattle. A few
individual losses indicate in a de-
gree the extent of the disaster.
Dan Powell of Wokama lost 300
head of horses, and Charlie Wal
uron, now Of Fort Pierre, lost
something like 400 head. The
total loss cannot even be estimated,
but it is known that hundreds Of
stockmen rounded up that fall
only a small percentage Of the
brand they had owned in the
spring.
A score of personal experiences
might be recounted, some Of them
as thrilling rs the pages of a novel,
but none is more interesting than
that told by Gus Stoermer.
Stoermer was driving stage on tire
Deadwood trail at that time. He
was caught in the storm, and after
battling with it for several hours,
was forced to turn back. Among
his passengers was a five year old
boy, who was soon suffering in
tenscly from the cold. The boy
cried bitterly, and although the
other passengers shared their
wraps. the little fellow could not
be hushed. Gus, who was carry
ing Uncle Sans mail at the time,
took one of the newspaper sacks,
put his passenger inside, pulled
the draw string tight about his
throat. and slowed him away
under the seat. When the road
ranch was reached several hours
later, the little fellow was us com
Portable as could be desired, and,
in fact, seemed to be rather enjoy
ing the storm.

Our Anniversary

On the ninth day Of May last
wear the first town lots we're sold
here, so it may property be sad
that our town will be a year old
next Saturday. In view OF all
that we have done and accom-
plished here in one short year the
date ought to be an occasion Tor Il
celebration. We understand that
there is a movement on foot among
some of the business men to have
the day properly observed, out so
far definite plans have not been
announced. Whatever IS attempt
ed ought to receive our united
support, and ought TO be made a
great success.
For sometime previous to the
lot sale last year, q number OF
business houses had been clustered
around the town site company s
property waiting for the signal to
move. In fact the town was
getting pretty well settled and
comfortable in the quarters it then
occupied, and the writer recalls
now with a sense OF amusement
that there was some doubt among
some of our most serious minded
business men whether after all it
would be worth while to move on
the town site. 1t was quite frc-
uuently suggested That the old
location was a better one than the
new.
But the lots were sold, and next
day everybody began to make
preparations to move. Some be-
gan to move the same day as the
sale, and among these the Bad
River News. Its building reached
it's present location about five
O'Clock in the afternoon Of the
ninth of last May, and was the
first building on the town site OF
Philip. Others soon followed
and today you look over the towr
and see years work.
Other years and bigger years
are vet to come. Years that viii
\ be filled with more work thar
most of us will want to do. The
real work OF building a town viii
have to be taken up. The big
problems have not been touched
An adequate water supply ant
some reasonable fire protection
will have to be provided. These
and other problems will have tt
be considered and seriously con
sidered, pretty soon too.

The Great May Storm

Three years ago last Monday
western South Dakota was visited
'by the most disastrous storm in
its history. Other storms have
come, and colder billiards. have
swept the country in year, past,
but none of them lett in their
wake such great financial loss
among the stock growers as did
that Of May, 1905. Ask any oil
timer about it, and at once he be
comes reminiscent. He will tell
of fortunes lost in that storm and
of the staggering blow it dealt
nearly every stockman in the
western part of the state.
The proceeding winter was Il
mild one, and the spring had
opened early. The prairies were
green, and stock had never been
in better condition at that time of
the year. On the 2nd of May it
commenced to rain, continuing
through the 3rd with .fiurries of
snow toward evening. All day
the 4th and all that night a terrific
blizzard ragged. On the morning
of the 5th the sun rose smiling,
but it is safe to say that no other
Dakota sun ever looked down up
on such ruin. Carcasses of
animals lay scattered over the
prairie everywhere. just west of
here thousands of head of stock
had drifted with the storm over
the wall of the Bad Lands. The
breaks along Bad River were filled
with carcasses. And it was not
an uncommon sight to see out on
the open prairie dozen cattle in
pile, where they had died
huddled together.

Plant Trees

Occasionally we hear of some
fellow who is planting trees. He
may be putting out a grove, or
only planting half-dozen cotton
woods on his lawn. Or it may be
an orchard. But no matter what
it is, if it is the planting of a tree,
we always feel like getting that
fellow by the hand and giving him
the grip of the Exalted Brother
hood of Treeplanters.
The man who plants trees is
good citizen. He may not be alb
sorbed in politics, and ready to
whoop it up all night long for his
particular faction of his particular
party: but he is such man as
the state ought to be proud of just
the same. He may have an un-
voiced suspicion that politicians
are in politics for the people nit;
but if he plants trees he need
never fear that he will be dis
franchised for not performing his
whole duty to the state.
The man who plants trees is
better patriot than well, than
the fellow who cuts them down!
We were about to say better than
the soldier who goes to war, but
war is too fashionable just yet to
say that. 1t might be said that
the tree planter is Il constructive
patriot. He deserves to rank with
those who organize governments
and formulate constitutions. Ger
tainly he is Il better patriot and
performs richer service than any
mere Office holder.
The man who plants trees is
deeply religious. He may not
have the fear Of God in his heart,
but he has the love of man there.
He may not be especially inter
ested in any particular plan of
salvation, for ne mas discovered
one of his own. 1t may be that
our tree planting friend is Just a
bit inclined toward profanity, and
more still toward a glass of beer;
but his soul is filled with the right
kind of practical Christianity just
the same. Everything being con-
sidered, we are inclined to believe
that God looks with as much favor
on man with a spade in his hand
planting = tree as he does on one
kneeling and raising his voice in
supplication and prayer. And the
one with the gumbo clinging to
his hands will be welcomed
through the shining portals as
warmly as the other.
Seriously considered, the grow
ing Of trees is one of the great
problems of our future. Great
only because it takes time to grow
a tree, and it is hard to induce our
people to do thing that cannot
be done at once. But it is en-
couraging to note that few of
the dreamers who are not building
for today, but for tomorrow, are
already setting their hands brave
ly to the solution.

Pheasants Thrive in Illinois.

Two years ago the first consignment of
English pheasants was received from
State Game Commissioner Wheeler by
the game warden of Clinton county.
The latter official has kept a close
watch on the birds and is pleased to re-
port them increasing. A few months ago
another lot was liberated, and all are re
ported as being alive. They are so tame
that they will enter the farmers yards
and eat with the chickens.
Farmers throughout the county are
eager to assist the department in increas-
ing the pheasant population by Matching
out eggs to be supplied by the depart,
ment. Quail are abundant in the parts
of the county where there is plenty OF
cover, and prairie chickens can be count
ed in focks of fifteen up to sixty. Be
fore the new game law was passed
chickens were almost extinct.--Chicago
