Work on the Tariff.

The state board of railway commits
sioners, at its recent meeting in Sioux
Falls decided to take under considera-
tion The formulation OF new schedule
of freight rates, for that section of the
state lying west of the Missouri river,
The new tariff will include rates be-
tween points this side Of the river west
OF that stream.
The tariff has never been established
and put into effect, because the two ex.
tensions of railroad, one by the Milwau-
kee and the other by the Northwestern
were not completed when the tariffs
for other sections of the state were es-
tablshed. The rates are expected to
be in effect within the next sixty days
and it is understood that the new tar
itf will reduce the freight rates prevail
ing in that section Of South Dakota.
Action upon this matter may be ex-
pected at the next meeting of the COM
mission in this city on the 26th.

Mark Twain Story.

On the way across the Atlantic Last
summer, Mark Twain was asked his
opinion of prohibition, by a woman
passenger. The reply was characteris.
tically humorous, though somewhat
evasive. He said:
II am friend of temperance, and |
want it to succeed, but | don't think
prohibition is practical. | am sorry to
learn that they have just invented a.
method of making brandy out of saw
dust. Now what chance will prohibi-
tion have when man can take a rip
saw and 60 out and get drunk with y
fence rail? What is the good of pro-
hibition if man is able to make brandy
smashes out Of the shingles on his roof,
or if he can get delirium tremens by
drinking the legs off the kitchen
chairs?

Gets Enl arged Territory.

Beginning with the first Of April the
boundaries OF the Pierre land district
will be widely extended. BY the wip-
ing out of the Huron land district the
counties of Beadle, Sphinx, Faux, Pot
ter, Hand and Hyde will be added to
the Pierre district. But the addition Of
the territory will not mean any great
addition to the business. About all
which was left for the Huron district
to look after was in the southern parts
OF Hand and Hyde counties, with few
scattered tracts in Faux and Potter.
The eastern part of the district having
been practically cleared of the govern
ment lands, probably few quarters
scattered about being yet torprobe up
to wipe out the government connection
with any of the counties in the Jim
river valley. The next offices which
will probably be abolished are those of
Mitchell and Watertown, which will
leave Aberdeen the only office east of
the Missouri river towns Of Pierre and
Chamberlain.
The Pierre Office will probably be the
last in the state to be abolished, as those
at the state capitals are generally left
for the clearing up work after the others
are no longer paying expenses, the one
at Des Moines for Iowa clear up work
now being in the list to be abolished.

Secure Land Now.

The prediction Of Nautilus that the
increase of population was so muc h
more rapi2 than the possibilities of
production of food stuffs that it wou Id
be only short time before the world
would be confronted with the problem
of how to secure subsistence, seems
about to be realized,
The demand for productive land has
been so great in the last half dozen
years that it is now difficult to secure
good, productive land anywhere in the
United States at the very low prices
which maintained ten or fifteen years
ago, except in certain limited area
In the United States nearly all OF the
available tiIlable land is being taken
up so rapidly that prices must steadily
increase.
The railroad building in the west in
to new territory has brought into use
immense tracts of cultivable land
In no section of the country has the
rapid settlement of land been so great
as in the west and southwest, and the
people generally are realizing that the
ownership of land is most desrabl g
thing-not only from the certainty tina t
it can not be destroyed or it's value i'm
paired by Industrial disturbances, but
also from the fact that as popu ulation
increases its value must continue to
rise

Farmers have had ten years Of good
crops ard good prices. In both. De-
ticlencies in one corn and cotton crop
were more than made good to them by
high prices. Last year they took in
more money than ever before, and this
year they are likely to take in $l,OOO,-

They will buy freely many sorts OF
merchandise, and they will have money
to invest. Good business is about as
certain as it can be for another wear,
proving over again that when the farm
er is prosperous everybody is pros
porous. Railroad officials, who have

A Dozen Weddings a Day.

The preliminary report of the super
lntendent of vital statistics, which has
Just been issued on marriages of the
state for 1907, shows 4, 800 ceremonies
for chat year. a record of practically a
dozen day through the year,
The ages of the brides were given at
from fifteen, at which TWO were mar
rled; to sixty Zine at which age three
women were married
The most popular age appears to
have been twenty, as 500 girls were
married at that age and nineteen was
close with SOP; and 499 were brides at
eighteen. The average age of the
brides was 23.S years. The ages of the
grocms ranged from eighteen to seventy
three, the average marrying age for the
men being 2S.2 years. with the greatest
number taking brides at the age of
twenty-three, 465 having married at that
age. The figures compiled show that
the chances for women marrying de-
creases after they pass twenty, and that
of the men after they have passed
twenty three, which does not hold out
the theory of late marriages on the
part of either sex in this state.
Last year number of marriages
were reported where aged men took
very young wives, but the report this
year is strongly in contrast to that as
in nearly all of the marriages the ages
of the two contracting parties were
near the same figure.
