the work completed in the fall of 1905.
In 1906 they advertised for bids for
the erection of the wing, and when
the time came for opening the bids,
representatives of Sioux Falls went
into the supreme court asking for an
injunction to prevent the board from
acting, on the ground that they did
not intend to use any South Dakota
material in the work. After the APP
plication had been made the commits
sion stopped procedure until the court
had passed upon the application, and
then rejected all bids. 1t was then
so late in the year that nothing more
was done until after the election, and
new officers formed the commission
Decide to Complete Building.
This wait also brought new legis-
lative session, and this session decid-
ed upon proceeding with the construc-
ton of the complete structure instead
Of only portion OF it. fixing the cost
of the whole structure at 100000,
and providing means for the funds,
which might be lacking after sale OF
lands donated by the general govern
ment for the construction Of capitol.
They also provided that In the letting
of bids the commission might give
South Dakota stone per cent pref
erence in the letting of contracts.

The laying OF the cornerstone OF
the new capitol Of South Dakota III
Pierre marks the end Of struggle Of
i quarter OF century on the part Of
the people or Pierre to secure the 10
cation OF the permanent capital Of
South Dakota In the center Of the
state. 1t IL the frnltion Of hopes and
struggles, into which the earlier resi-
dents OF Pierre would never have
plunged had they been able to Look
ahead and see all which 1t would mean
In the way OF expense and effort. But
with the task once taken up, there has
been no idea OF stopping ON the part
OF any OF those engaged in the work,
and while 1t has been costly
whistle" which the city has paid for,
they now fear that they have secured
Il in fact for all 1t is worth to any
town at which state capitol Is lo-
Gated.
From the very founding OF Pierre,
the capital aspiration was one OF the
tenets OF its builders. The earliest
papers teemed with the possibilities
In that direction based on location and
future development OF the Territory
of Dakota.
With the capital Of the territory lo-
Gated at Yankt0n, when the popula-
tion consisted or handful Of settlers
along the eastern and southern bor-
ders Of the territory, It remained I'M

into the territory on an immigration
wave resting on the construction OF
new lines Of railroad built ahead Of
settlement and on faith In future de-
velopment. As the population began

there came demand for change In
the capitol site to q location more
central both ~ 70 population and ter
ritory. Ia the session or the territori-

-. Chamberlain went into the race
for temporary capital. 1t was a hsn'
~ casn While every town In tne
race plunged" in the way OF expense,
pierre and Huron led them all, ana
both towns were "in" about to their
limit at the end Of the campaign Oh
that year. Both had spread tneir lln'
its to take in as much territory as pos
chile and assessed 1t at a high rate
r. give them a greater bonding capac-
ity, and bonds were issued On any
kind of an excuse to secure 1unos lor
the fight.
when the contest was ended in Oc-
tober, the vote stood: Pierre, 2'o9o'
Huron. 1894; WATERFOWL, 1870;
Sioux Falls, 11,765; Mitchell, 7,eoe;
Chamberlain, 2,414. On that vote
pierre secured the temporary seat OF
government. and the first of Novem
her the first session Of the state leg
islature was held for the purpose OF
selecting two United States senators,
and was in session two days for that
nuruose. The senate held its sessions
in the Congregational church, and the
house met in the Hughes county court
house. Before the regular session IN
January the city had made good us
nromise and had erected a building
for the holding Of the session, it now
being the main part of the present old
capitol, to which wing was attach
ed at state expense two years later.
Pierre Again Wins.
The next year while under the pro-
visions OF the law, it was free-for-
all for permanent capital location. all
the contestants dropped out except
Pierre and Huron, and another fierce
campaign was fought. Pierre increas-
ed its assessment and issued more
bonds, and laid out other additions for
donation lots. Huron sold the munich
pal water plant to raise funds. The
fight was on the same line, of central
ity and future development on the
part OF Pierre, and better present To-
cation on the part Of Huron. After
both towns had practically bankrupt
ed themselves, the vote was again in
favor of Pierre by vote of 41,S76 to
34,252 for Huron.
Huron then began legislative fight
for resubmission, and attempted to Sc
cure the submission of constitution
al amendment changing the location.
They made their first trial in 1898,
and followed 1t with another in 1895.
Again, in 1897, two efforts were made,
in which bills passed both houses at
different times, but the same bill did
not get through both houses The SEES
sion Of 1899 was allowed to go without
an effort to make change. In 1901,
WATERFOWL boomers went down with
bill to change to WATERFOWL, but fell
down early in the session, and then
Mitchell took up the fight and was
defeated In the house after practically
an all-night session. Then In the SEES
sion of 1903 came the combined as
sault OF Mitchell, Huron and Redfield,
which went into combine to secure
relocation votes, with an agreement
that the town which was to be named
in the new bill was to be selected by
caucus. The scheme was worked up

LAYING CORNERSTONE OF NEW CAPITOL
TERMINATES TWENTY-FIVE-YEAR CONFLICT
Spectacular Events Portrayed in History Battle Over
the Permanent Location OF State House.

In that year the move for division
and provisional statehood was placed
before the people of the south half OF
the territory, and vote was secured.
With the question of possible division,
came also a question Of capital loca-
ton. and Pierre, Sioux Falls and Alex
andrfa entered the lists. While but
little attention was paid to this cleo
tion In many parts of the territory
and light vote was cast, Huron won
In the vote.
Matters, so far as the south half Of
the territory was concerned, were al
lowed to go In this way until the final
statehood bill was secured in 1889. At
that time Huron interests demanded
that as they had secured majority
Of the votes in 1885, that town should
be made the capital of the south half
by the provisions of the bill. Con-
gresham Springer of Illinois opposed
naming any town as the capital of the
new state. but demanded that 1t

commissioner were to comprise the
commission to look after the con-
struction OF the building. These ON
Gals, after travelling to the capitals
Of several states, decided that the
building which had been erected IN
Montana was in the line OF what
would better fill the needs OF TINS
state than any other which they had
found, and secured plans for a COM
pleted building upon the plans OF the
Montana structure, somewhat modi-
fed, and advertised for bids for the
construction of the foundation OF the
east wing. This contract was let. and

f. SpAulding OF Fargo and Dr. Scott
OF Grand Forks. Under the law the
commission was to organize at Yank-
ton. but for some reason best known
to the commission they did not care
to visit the ancient capital. They met
at Sioux City, agreed upon the organ
ization, and boarded a train which
would take them through Yankton. AS
soon as the latter city limits were
reached they organized while the train
was being pulled rapidly through, Sc
lecting Hughes as chairman, and
Ralph Wheelock, Mitchell newspa-
per man (now Twin City resident)
as secretary. The train proceeded on
north from Yankton, making its first
stop at Canton. which was the near
est aspirant for the honors under the
provisions OF the law.
The list OF candidates, and the Of
fers they presented to the state were
as follows: Aberdeen, 100000 and
100 acres OF land; Bismarck. 100000
and 800 acres of land; Canton, $780,
900 and 160 acres OF land; Frankfort,
100000 and 100 acres Of land; Huron,

Bismarck Gets II.
These bids were opened and the
commission started out to view the
different locations offered them. Their
trip was one grand round Of pleas
ure," each town vieing with the others
In its attempt to impress the members
most favorably. After putting in sew
eral weeks OF travel, and stopping to
pay each town visit, the commission
finally rounded up at Grand Forks and
began to ballot. Canton, Pierre, Red
field and Bismarck we're the towns
which received votes on the first bal
lots, with the three North Dakota
members standing by Bismarck ON
every ballot. Finally Belden, who had
been voting for Pierre, changed to
Bismarck. and Hughes swung over
with him. giving the North Dakota
town the location.

But with the selection OF Bismarck
by the commission their troubles did
not end. Pierre wanted the capital:
