though he recently removed to Park
ston from Alexandria where for a
long time he was editor of the Jour

insurgent movement from the begin
ming.
Hon. William M. Cox, of Rapid
City is now extensively engaged in
sheep ranching, but formerly he was
in the mercantile business. He was
appointed oil inspector for the second
district. He has always been a strong
y republican but did not particularly
identify himself with either faction.
The intention of Governor Wesley
to recognize all republicans regard
less of faction is illustrated in these
oil inspectorship appointments. Hon.
Edward A. Murray of Milbank, was
a leader in the stalwart faction
prior to the primaries, but worked
with all his power for the ticket. He
has been sheriff of Grant county for
four years. His appointment raises
a question about the reappointment
also resides at Milbank. DIR. Hicks
has the earnest endorsement of the
House members from Grant county.

There was a racy debate upon the
| bill giving owners of isolated tracts
| of land a method Of securing a pri-
vate way over surrounding lands. 1t
is one of those commonplace quest
ions about which every n has
knowledge and is ready to talk. A
majority of the lawyers are opposed
to the bill but Taylor and Morris
stayed with 1t and the farmers wanted
1t. 1t declares the right Of every
owner OF an isolated tract to a priv
ate way to the nearby highway and
| authorizes the county commissioners
to lay such a way and assess the dam
ages. All costs are to be paid by
the party benefited and the owner
Of the land upon which the way is
laid has an appeal to the courts. The
bill passed hands down.
The house put itself unanimously
on record favoring a federal con-
stitutional convention to provide for
the election Of senators by the people
and against polygamous marriages.
The resolution recites the inability of
the people to get the question sub
mitted by the United States senate
and therefore the necessity forced
upon the public to resort to this con-
stitutional means to secure the sub
mission. The house also petitioned
congress for a brigade post at Fort
Meade.
