EARLIEST THRESHING IN YEARS
Wheat Brought to Milbank the Ear
liest Known in the History Of
the City

The Farmers elevator and Re-
lance elevator purchased new
wheat yesterday. This is the
earliest date, August 9Th, that
any of the elevator men can re.
member of having purchased
new wheat. They say it is at
least week or ten days earlier
than usual. The hot winds Of
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
ripened the grain almost too
fast, and thus the cause. F. L.
Stewart threshed the wheat on
the old Isham farm and was
velvet chaff grading 81
pounds TO the busbel. Rye, bar
ley and oats were marketed last
Thursday,rye bringing 60 cents,
barley 43 cents and oats 81
cents. The oats were of poor
quality but rye and barley were
good.

New Court House

The following petition is being
circulated throughout the coun-
ty, which explains itself:
The undersigned, citizens and
electors of the county of Grant,
State of South Dakota, hereby
petition you. the Honorable
Board of County commissioners
of said county, to order an elec
ton, as provided by law, for the
purpose of determining by vote
of the electors of said county, or
to submit at the next general ell
ection, the question of issuing
bonds of said county for the pur-
pose of erecting a new court
house and Jail at the county seat
therein.
We feel that the buildings now
occupied by said county for court
house, jail and Office purposes are
insufficient and inadequate to the
wants of the county, and unsafe
by reason of extraordinary risk by
fire and otherwise, and believe
that it is necessary and would be
for the benefit of said county and
the inhabitants and electors
thereof to have erected as soon
as possible a court house and jail
in keeping with the need of the
county.

THE GOVERNORSHIP.

Commenting on the present COVER
nor the LOOMS Prospector says:
Gov. Albert E. Mead has made
public declaration that he will be
a candidate for reelection as gov
ernor. We believe that Governor
Mead will be the choice of the vOt-
ers at the primary election, simply
because under the system the profess
siOnal politician does not dictate the
selection. Gov. Mead has made good
and the people believe in rewarding
a public official who does his duty.
When Governor Mead was first
named for Office four years ago, this
paper opposed his nomination, not
on account of the man, but because
of the gang that was standing his
sponsor 1t was feared that he might
be a man of putty in the hands OF
those political manipulatOrs. Gov.
Mead's record has demonstrated that
all such fears were grOundless. He
has stood for the best interests of
the people. No corporation or indi-
vidual has been able to dictate his
policy. He has shown himself to be
fearless, Independent, resourceful,
and one of the people. That his ad-
has been free from
the influence of that element that so
long dominated politics in this state
is made evident by the fact that the
corporation crowd that backed him

FOR STATE LAND COMMISSIONERS

The announcement was made sew
eral days ago of the candidacy of I. A.
Navarro tor the office of state land
commissioner From communica-
tions received the past few DAYS in
the Office of the Daily World it is
highly evident that, TO say the least,
the chances for his election are most
encouraging, if one may judge from
the present outlook.
Judge Navarro is man so far
above the ordinary for the Office that
there can be no question that i'm his
hands it will be conducted in a man
ner that will be a credit to the state.
For years he practiced law
When his health failed he took up
the active outdoor life of an engineer,
and has followed it ever since. In
fact, his whole training has been
such as to qualify him for just such
a position under the state as that OF
land commissioner.
Navarro is not a man of small ac-
quaintance, known only in his home
county. He is known throughout
the state. He will have an especial
Iy strong following in Seattle and
Yakima
People of this section of the state
will be proud to support man Of
the stamp of |. A. Navarro for this
important office of the state.
