Jewel Cave in South Dakota.

The President has just signed pro
clamation creating the Jewel Cave
National Monument within the Black
Hills National Forest, South Dakota
This remarkable cave, which is located
l3 miles west and south Of Custer, the
county seat of Custer County, in a
limestone formation, is believed by
geologists to be an extinct geyser
channel, The National Monument will
embrace an area of $50 acres.
This cave, which was explored as
late as 1900, has been found to consist
of series of chambers connected by
narrow passages with Numerous
galleries, the walls of which are encrust-
ed with a magnificent layer of calcite
crystal. The opening of the cave is
situated in He'll Canyon, the walls of
which are high and precipitous,
The surface of the country in which
the cave is located consists of high
trolling limestone plateau about 5000
feet above sea level. The area is al.
most entirely covered by a forrest OF
bull pine, a considerable portion OF
which is merchantable, while the re
mainder consists of vigorous young
growth.
The Jewel Cave National Monument
will new be given permanent protection
by virtue of the Act of June s, 1906
which provides tat objects of scientific
interest may be declared Nationa
Monuments if such action is deemed
necessary for their preservation and
protection.

County Division to Enliven Politics

The counties west of the Missouri
river Ghis year will not only have the
state political situation to keep them
busy, but will all be torn with county
seat and division contests. Butte as
the largest county in the state shows up
with the most diverse views in regard
to division, Lennon, while on the
state line, wants n county carved out of
the northeast corner of Butte, wit h
chat as the only railroad town in the
borders, and the county seat. The peo-
pie OF Meadow, a new inland town south
OF Lennon, at mass meeting declar-
ed against any division proposition for
this year. The people of Camp Crook,
in the northwestern part of the county
are in favor Of division into three coun-
ties with one cutoff the eastern part of
the county at the Jog" the line be-
tween ranges nine and ten, with the
west part of he county cut in the mid
die on an east and west line making a
new county in the extreme northwest
corner of the state. With so many di
verse views, the division project will
not have the easiest Of sailing.
Philip people want Stanley cut into
two counties, and have out their peti j.
tions. Midland residents who would
be on the county line in such division
want things left as they are for the
present. Fort Pierre W ould not likely
put up much of a fight against such d
division, as is might save them future
trouble IN county seat location.
Presho in Lyman county is pushing
its petitions for county seat removal
from Oacoma, and is DONG eyeryth ing
possible to keep down division senti.
menu. With an equal division of that
county Presho would be on the division
line and does not care to have any sue h
movement pushed. Among them al!
they promise to keep things lively ives /
OF the river, and while some time in
the future county division viii come to
all OF them, what they will d. this yea
is yet large sized question.

Power Plows Break Prairie.

The reports from farmers who come
into the city from the country about
indicates that the acreage Of prairie
broken this year will be practically one
per cent OF the total so far broken
This will be accomplished to large ex-
tent through the power Flows which
materially reduce the cost and make
cheaper for the average farmer to hire
his breaking done than to attempt it
himself with horses for power. The
new acreage will be devoted largely to
flax and sod corn, while the acreage of
oats and barley will be materially in
creased over former years. Wheat is
not looked upon with favor as a crop
in this part of the state, corn being con
sidered better crop. The acreage Of
alfalfa is being materially increased all
over this section and is proving to be a
certain and paying crop. East Of the
Missouri corn and alfalfa take preced-
ence over any other crop, and while a
small acreage Of wheat will be sown, it
will be small when compared with corn.

A REFORM NECESSARY

South Dakota is growing. South
Dakota is destined to grow. Anyone
at all awake is aware Of that. If there
are any Rip Van Wrinkles among us
who are sleeping and do not realize
this, let them be awakened at once to
the fact. Lead them to our beautiful
city of Aberdeen, Lead them to our
bountiful Brown county. Let them be
awakeileui
south Dakota is growing. Wonder
full! And yet what have we SAID when
we said this? Not very much. Not.
more than we have said when we have
boastfnlly finished saying of an already
sturdy boy OF II or Is that he is growing
and bound do grow, For we naturally
expect a youth of this age who has been
we'll nurtured to go on growing. To
say something really remarkable about
the boy we would have to say that he
is growing intellectually. And to say
something even more remarkable than
this about him we would have to say
that he is growing morally and destined
to grow morally. Physical, material
growth compared with intellectual and
moral growth is insignificant.
How we'll it would be if in speaking
of South Dakota, as growing and q
coming" state, we could forget that it
| is material growth we mean. How we'll
it would be if we could say that her
people are growing intellectually ana
morally. But we cannot, the indca-
tlons are all the other way. The people
OF South Dakota ale interested body
and soul in making money, in acquir-
ing land, in boarding srops, in building
railroads, in word, in material things.
And it is mighty little that a majority
OF them care about their plan of life
while getting what they are after. 1t
may be at the expense of their educa-
ton and intellectual development, and
it may be at the expense of their NOR
ais. What we need isl radical reform.

The Tariff.

We are in iavor of the proposition to
establish an expert tariff commission
and relegate the adjustment of the
schedules to that body. The tariff has
always been disturbing element in
business and politics and has more than
anyone thing contributed to the great
financial depressons which have at
Times overwhelmed the country. So
tar as possible it should be removed
from politics and placed where it
logically belongs, in the undisputed
domain OF business where its adjust
ments and charges will be dependent
wholly upon the constantly appearing
changes in business as affected by new
methods OF production, transportation
and machinery. The principle of pro.
lection should of course be always kept
III slgnr but without affecting that
principle at all, and in the complete re-
cognltion of it the changes of the sche.
dule are Important almost daily and
these changes should be made by ex-
perts in business and upon the most
scientific principles. Congress cannot
10 this in a seasonable and timely way.
II can only be accomplished by a COM
mission empowered to do SO at the in
stant the emergency arises requiring
or modification, and wa
oeileYe W the bill looking to the creation
q q tariff commission is the logical
solution Of the tariff problem.
