Vessey and the Saloons.

Huron Journal: Senator Vessey is
a temperance man. He is not third
party prohibitionist, nor man with
only one idea. He is not a crank. He
is a broadmined and fair-minded
man.
An attempt is being made in some
quarters to make common cause of
the campaign for the governorship
and the county option campaign.
County option will be voted on at the
November election as a non partisan
question.
A republican can use his own judg-
ment and vote for it or against it with
out in the slightest degree affecting
his oarty relations. 1t should be sub
mltted squarely on it's merits.
Senator Wesley is The republican
candidate for governor. He is an
enthusiastic believer in that great
party. The majority Of the republi-
cans in the primaries on June 9th
selected him as the party candidate
Tor governor. Republicans are going
to loyalty support him.

Poisoning Prairie Dogs.

Attempts made last spring at poi
soning prairiedogs in national forests
on an extensive scale seem to have
been successful in Kidding selected
areas of these small pests, and plans
are now being made to carry on the
work much more widely next year.
Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to
the stockmen, for they devour much
grass and undermine the surface of
the ground with their burrows. Where
they establish themselves the destruc-
ton OF the range is only a question of
time.
Range Improvement in national
forests is one of the chief objects of
regulating the grazing. For this rea-
son the Forest Service is leaving no
stone unturned to prevent range de-
terioration. Stockmen who had suf-
fered heavily from the prairie dog
pest were solicituous to have the
work taken up, and gladly offered to
cooperate with the Service i'm fur
nlshing men and horses to distribute
the poison.
The poison is prepared by coating
wheat with preparation of strych-
nine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil,
and molasses. When sufficient
quantity is ready, the poisoned wheat
is carried to the field of operations.
There the stockmen supply men and
horses, the wheat is given out to the
riders, and distribution begins.

To Blockade the Ports.

BY an implied threat, that if it's de-
mands were not at once complied with
the Dutch government would block
ade all of the seaports Of Venezuela,
Castro has been notified that the
Netherlands is about to take drastic
action for the dismissal of Minister
Dereuss, and that all DEGREES unfavor-
able to the Dutch government must
be rescinded. The manifesto was I'M
expected, and it was not believed
that the government would take such
drastic action until the arrival of the
Venezuelan envoy on Monday. 1t
has been intimated that other govern
ments would hold aloof in the con-
troversy. Immediate notice has been
given of the blockade. There is no
doubt but that the Dutch will be able
to effect a complete blockade.

two mares, a wagon, double harness,

Through the efforts ofSuperintendent

has been granted the privilege of pur-
chasing as many of the mares as it is
possible to secure upon the reserVa-
ton and If any shortage exists then to
purchase in the open market. These
supplies all go to allottees, and they
are given the option Of taking cattle

Fixes Minimum Price of Lands.

State Land Commissioner O. G..
Dokken has been out into the western
part OF the state looking after capitol
building lands and other matters in
connection with his department in
that part of the state. One of the
matters was the fixing of minimum
selling price for the capitol building
lands which will be offered for sale in
September. These lands to be offered
consist of 1858 acres lying in the
counties of Pennington and Meade,
and they will be offered at Rapid City
for Pennington county on the 10th of
September; and at Sturgis for Meads
on the 18th Of that month. The ternfS
OF sale are practically the same rs for
former sales of such lands, requiring
one-third down at time of purchase;
one sixth the first of next MAY, and
the balance running for five years at
six and one-half per cent, with option
OF payment at any interest date. The
Pennington county lands were fixed
at prices from 81 to $40 an acre; and
those in Meade county at from 50 to
$50 per acre. If the sales are as ex-
pected, with other funds on hand or
available, there will be no need to
draw on the direct appropriation for
this years work.
Besides the state capitol lands,
Commissioner Dokken fled on about
$1,000 acres of common school indem-
nifty lands, situated in Meade and
Pennington counties. I

Divorce in South Dakota.

In November the voters of South
Dakota will vote upon the question of
extending the time of residence in
the state required for citizenship
from six months to one year. This
proposition carried in the legislature
and has been submitted to the people
under the referendum clause in the
state constitution. Upon this cleo
ton hangs the fate of the big divorce
colony at Sioux Falls and the whole
divorce industry of South Dakota,
which owes it's prosperity to the ease
with which the stranger can become
a citizen and thus make use Of its
laws.
The divorce colony of Sioux Falls
is made the subject of an article in
the September number of the Ameri-
can Magazine. 1t is written by Geo.
Fitch, a young Illinois editor who is
making a reputation as a humorous
writer. One extract Of his article is
as follows:
AS a result of its excellent system
Sioux Falls has the cream of the en-
tire business, only the skinned milk
going to the other South Dakota
towns. Its lawyers and citizens have
grown wealthy, and it now supplies
the entire country with divorce goods
of the highest and most durable grade.
1t does a tlourishing Canada business
and is working up fair foreign trade.
1t also does a very good jobbing bust
ness in the following manner: Divor-
Gees come to Sioux Falls, live there
until they become citizens, hire Sioux
Falls lawyers, spend all their money
there and then slip off to some quiet
county seat whose population consists
OF judge, aclerk and 900 prairie dogs
and get their divorces there. This
relieves Mimehaha county of the ex-
pense of granting the divorce, retains
all the profit in Sioux Falls, and at
the same time cuts down the divorce
figures i'll Minnehaha county until
they compare favorably with those of
Minneapolis and are understood COM
pared with those of Chicago, even
reckoned per capita.

ever before. 1t is not long before the

our state fair should be something

A great deal is being said of the
high prices of corn and the prosperity
that it is bringing to the country. The
farmer, however, has in mind all the
time the fact that the present high
prices didn't come until practically
all of the corn had passed out of the
farmers hands. Seventy and eighty
cents to Mr.. Spectator means forty
five to fifty cents to the farmer.
Watch the corn drop as did the pork
last fall a few months hence when, the
farmer has corn to sell. This hide
and seek game sounds well but doesn,t
enrich the man who performs labor.
