DRUGGISTS LINE UP FOR FIGHT
No Chance for a Compromise With
Wheaton on the Pure Drug Bill.

Probably the biggest fight Of the
present session of the legislature will
be between the druggists of South
Dakota and A. H. Wheaton, dairy and
food commissioner. There is absolute
ly no chance for any compromise,
both sides declaring they will stand
fast.
The state supreme court having de-
clared unconstitutional the pure drug
act passed two years ago, OIL account
of a confusion In verbiage, 1t is recog.
nized that a new act must be passed
at this time.
The measure championed by the
druggists is known as house bill No.
2, introduced by Representative Sasse,
president of their state association.
1t is a copy of the national drug act,
now in force in thirty states, with a
single change, placing the enforce
ment in the hands of the state board
of pharmacy, as was done in Iowa.
The bill supported by Commissioner
Wheaton is known as house bill No.
SO, and was introduced by Representa-.
tive Simonson of Brookings. 1t re-
quires the label Of all proprietary
medicines to give n common name
of each and every ingredient, or if it
is not desired to publish this state
ment, to submit the preparation to
examination by a referee board con-
sisting Of the president of the state
board of health, the president of the
state board of pharmacy and the state
chemist.
Under the druggists bill, as in the
national law, it is provided simply
that all drugs shall be of standard
purity and that any intoxicant or
habit-forming drug must be given on
the label.

PRESHo GROWING.
Much Building Going on In Anticipa.
ton Of Spring Rush-Another Arte.
sian Well,

sian Well.
Never since her early days has
Presho showed as great a building
boom as is going on at the present
time. Carpenters are in great de-
mand, and there Is work here for
many more. 1t was supposed that the
boom would not commence until
spring, but as the winter so far here
has been practically open, and as
lots are selling rapidly in the new
addition, people are putting up resi-.
| dences and business houses prepare
tory for the spring rush by Eastern
people for the Trip county decided
lands surrounding Presho.
It is generally known that the Mil
waukee road is preparing to run a
line from here to the state capital.
The North Western has also run
stakes from the South through here
to Pierre. Three cars Of surveyors
have been working in the railroad
yards and although nothing definite
can be ascertained, it looks very
much like they mean business.
At the present time a cement
block creamery and two immense ice
houses are being erected on the
tracks. w. E. Sweeney will COM
mence the erection Of a grist mill as
soon as possible, as the machinery for
the same is already here.
Dozens of residences are going up
in the new addition and living rooms
are at a premium. 1t is almost i'm
possible to secure an empty business
building, and at the present time
Presho has three almost solid blocks
of business houses with many side
streets filled.
Presho's third artesian well is be-
ing drilled at the present time, and
it is believed that natural gas will be
obtained from this we'll in the same
manner as that at Pierre. This will
mean considerable to the people OF
Presho. Contractors are at work
filing in the streets to grade, and
steel CulVertS nave Deen nSIalled dl
all ross streets.
Many improvements are being
made in business houses. Dirks &
Griffith have enlarged and put in a
handsome front in their clothing
store. Half of the w. S. McLain
building has been enlarged and shelly
ed and put into a racket store. H. A.
Boyd is making extensive improve
ments in the Presho Ice Cream parlor.
lhe Anderson Lumber company have
COUPLED the capacity of their lum-
Der yard and erected a handsome or
ice building. Sheldon Bros. are erect
ing an immense stock barn on the
lake front, and many other improve
ments are in contemplation and de
layed only by the lack of carpenters.

mouth all the time and was, as ] found
out later, the cause of the stomach re-

A N OFFICE DECISION.
The GiIbert-Satrang Case Is Bringing
Numerous Inquiries From Those In
terested.

terested.
Since the decision was given out by
the United States land Office with
reference to the case of Gilbert Sat
ran Of Canton, there has been con-
siderable worry on the part of others
who have been expecting patents
from the land office, and they were
somewhat embarrassed as to what
would be the attitude of the govern
ment land office. United States Com
missioner McLain of Presho, has had
some correspondence with the land
office concerning the Satrang deci-
sion, and asked the question: IF
patents now will be withheld pending
Investigations by special agents Of the
land office" Fred Dennet, commits
sioneY, made the following reply:
"You are advised that unless there is
a protest, or contest or other obpec-
tons to an entryman's proof, patent
will not be withheld, but will issue in
due course of the business of this
Office" Concerning a further ques-
ton: 'Tf a real estate mortgage upon
the land, where the patent has not
been issued and which has passed
only to final certificate, may be con-
sidered as safe security for the debt
represented by it," the commissioner
makes reply to the effect that until
Datent issues. a mortgage or trans
fierce can acquire no greater interest
In the land than the entryman him
self has, and a mortgage will be sub
ject to all the equities that the entry
mans interest in the land Is subject
to. The cancellation of the entry
would wipe out the security of the
mortgage"

TO MAINE.
A Man Who Plants Thousands Of
Trees Offers Prizes TO others

Trees Offers Prizes to Others.
A plan for the r~eforestation of the
State of Maine has been submitted to
the governor by b. c. Jordon of AL
fred. Mr.. Jordon offers to give the
state $1,000 on condition that once in
eighteen years five prizes shall be
awarded for the five best lots of young
forest growth.
These lots are to consist OF not less
than ten acres, accurately surveyed
and plotted, the majority of the trees
to be not less than ten nor more han
thirty feet high, and not less than ten
nor more than thirty years old when
the prizes are awarded. The varieties
of trees to be grown are specified and
cover a long list from white pine to
elm.
Mr.. Jordon believes that the incen-
tive afforded by such prizes would do
much to bring about better forestry
conditions. Maine has many thou
sands of acres of waste land, now al
most worthless, but naturally well
adapted to timber growth, and which
by a small expense for care and for
est cultivation could be made easily
worth in fifty years 500 an acre.
In this way the state, instead of be-
ing of the poorest in the Union might
be made one of the richest. Fifty
years is a large part of one persons
life, but a very small part of the life
Of a state. Mr.. Jordon himself set
out from ten to fifteen thousand trees
last summer, and states that he hopes
to set out many thousands every year
as long as he lives.

FROM ORIENT TO PLATTE
Report Again Current That MiIwau.
kee Road viii Close Gap.

Rumors have been received that in
the spring the Milwaukee Railroad
company will close the gap between
Orient and Platte, in Charles Mix
county. The line between Loyalton
and orient now contains several sharp
curves. which will be removed. This
will leave two small villages east Of
the new route, but it Is probable they
will be moved bodily to the straight
ened line and thus retain railroad
communication. From Loyalton the
road will bear somewhat westward
of the present line, and will cross the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad at
Carlyle.
