The Sacret

Huronite: Before Mr.. Crawl ~
became a candidate for governors,
he sent w. III. Smith of this CITY
and Fl. G. Shober of Highmore down
the line to meet a. G. johnson and
to enlist johnson in support of Craw-
ford. These representatives met sir.
johnson somewhere between Book
ings and Huron and came to Huron
with him riding in his private car.
Mr.. Shober was the chief spokesman.
and after talking some time Mr..
johnson asked by what authority
they spoke. Mr.. Shober and Mr..
Smith both answered saying "we
represent Mr.. Crawford and came to
see you at his request" "Well,'
said Mr.. johnson, "is Mr.. Crawford
going to be a candidate for COVER
nor?" "Tbat depends" said Mi.
Shober, ''entirly on whether you will
support him or not" This is no
grape vine story but can be proven
by at least two OF the gentlemen
present. In view OF Mr.. Crawfold's
attitude toward certain railroad leg
islation and the action of the state
board of assessor ent it is not difficult
to see why the railroads in SDuth
Dakota are not hostile to Crawford.

An Increase in Taxes.

Sioux Falls A1gus-Leader. The
Violin Times says 1T cannot be true,
as stated in the Argus-Leader, that
the 1906 tax on a section of lana in
Sully county was s15. IL and that the
1907 tax or the same land was s51. 81
an increase Of $50 per cent.
But it is true. The Pierre Daily
Dakotan clipped this item out of the
Argus-L Leader and sent it to parties
in Sully county to prove that tue
Argus-Leader had misrepresented the
facts. 1t found the figures to ne
exactly as stated. The Argus Leaeer
knew what it was talking about,
because the land Is owned by a
Sioux Falls man, and the editor has
seen the tax receipt for 1906 and the
treasurer's statement of the amount
Of the tax for 1907. The owner
thought there must be a mistake,
but he has found out that it is only
too true.
Will the Violin Times now be fair
enough to print the facts? Or better
yet, let the editor write to the treas
urer Of Sully county and find out
what the taxes on section 2, town
ship lis, range 81, were in 1906 and
what they we're In 1907. That will
hold him for a while.

The Huron Huronite in comment
ing on..the presentation of the name
OF r. q. Wagner for confirmation by
the senate fro the position of Jnitea
States district attorney, and which
was referred to a subcommittee. of
which Senator Kittredge is chairman.
says that the senator would be doing
the insurgents a kindness by oppos-
ing the confirmation of Mr.. Wagner,
on the ground that he is not a good
insurgent-because he. voted against
the primary bill when it was pressnt-
ed in the senate in the session OF
1905, and now be is asking the sup
port of the insurgent to and i'm in
a fat paying office. The situation
does seem a little bit stra ed that
Mr.. Wagner is taken up SO S denly.
Still it seems the leaders ar lfter
the almighty office.

The newspaper boys got a satisfac-
tory explanation from Emmett Dow
dell at the meeting OF the press asso-
citation at Watertown with reference
to the railroad transportation on ad-
vertising contracts. Many of the
boys had the idea that Mr.. DowdelI
threw them down on that PROPOSE
ton. MI. Dowdell gave a satisfac-
tory explanation by stating that he
tnrned this feature of the anti-pass
bill over to Senator Perkins, which
referred to the fact that newspapers
were to be permitted to make their
usual advertising contracts for
mileage, but the senator added a
rider to the bill including the real
estate men of the state in the alleges
free list. Mr.. DowdelI said that he
would not stand for that and as it
could not be cut out of tue bill there
was nothing more to be done but
to allow the same to be killed. Mr..
Dowdell squared himself with the
boys to their entire satisfaction.

GIVING Up THE PRIMARY

The Redtield Press quoted a por-
Elon OF the statement of A. O. Rings
Tud made to the Sioux City Journal
with reference to the fact that
ssSouth Dakota was for Roosevelt
first, last and all the time. 1t now
stands for Roosevelt policies" ard
the alleged fact that "You can bet
your right eye the insurgents will
control the convention" Mr.. Rings
nurd has met with disappotntments
before, and he will be able to stand
another. But what we would liked
ITO have seen the Redfield Press do was
TO clip the statement made by Mr..
Ringsrud concerning what he said
With reference to the insurgents
doing away With the primary law at
the first opportunity they have had
tO use it. We would like for the
Press to state for what reason the
primary Is not to be used on this
occasion? The insurgents fought,
bled and died for couple of years for
Retting..lhis..k kind OF a law into effect,
and now. when they.can give the peo-
pie a chance to select men of their
own free..will, what has come up In
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of politics
that 1T must be discarded? II the
primary law defeats the Intentions Of
he insurgents, as really seems to be
the case. why not make an honest
Adnaisslon, and say that it is not
suited for the perpetuation Of the
1%nsurgent leaders. All this Wanted
confidence in the plain people seems
TO have vanished In the air when the

A FEAT IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
Daring Descent to Get a View Of an
Osprey's Nest.

..HT. fN:T;ta.cel ny OK, aaI ! To-
scended on my rope to terrace after
terrace, forcing my way through thick
rows of prickly pear, a most painful
operation. And now we found that
there was nobody below to signal u1
where the nest lay. The Inevitable re-
suit was that after descending more
than 100 feet l had to signal to be
hauled up again, always through the
0rickly pear. Again did l descend,
and again did I fail to find the nest
On the third occasion I reached a re-
cess in the great cliff, whence. after
unbending my rope and securing it tc
Q bush for obvious reasons. l made a
cast along a ledge to the south and
reached a point which l identified as
being not far from the nest as seel
from below. So I retraced my steps
and, regaining my rope, was hauled
up for a third time. During this OPP
Grafton I passed a ledge where q pere-
grine falcon was nesting. The old
female swept close around with shrill
cries and eventually alighted on the
sandy shelf Of rock within a~few feet
Of me and, with outspread wings and
every feather standing on end, low
cred her head and screamed furiously.
I have no doubt l was close to her
young. but l had more serious work in
hand, and so l left her alone.
I now made my fourth and last
descent and found myself immediate
y ove the nest, but before I could 60

had to work their wy dawn toward
me. since tho rope Wa 10 short. r.

TRYING TO STEP FLYING

The city officials are closely watch.
ing tho effect of the holes in cotton
wood trees. 1t will be remembered
that Perry Malaby was last year or
dered to bore holes and to put plugs
in 100 Of the cottonwood trees along
the streets. 1t was reported that
this scheme would prevent the produc.
tion of cotton which fills the air
beginning nt inns SEASON of the
year.
The holes were bored and plugged
and au examination shows that
while there is possibly not as much
cotton among the lower branc hes,
there is just as much near the top of
the tree.
1t is true. there was no hope Of
destroying the cotton the first y ear, rs
it was claimed 1t took two years to
do away with it.
The cotton is beginning to fly but
1t is thought there will be less OF it
this fear than usual and that pos.
sibly another year will see the plug.

The plugged trees seem not to have
suffered as result of the experiment
but are rs heavily laden with foliage
AS In years past. A few more days
will prove the wisdom and value of
the scheme of boring holes to stop
the cotton.
