The Fence Bill.

Farmers will generally be utter
csted in the fence bill now before
the legislature, for the time has
come in South Dakota when farm
fences are a necessity and an easy
and direct method of securing
partition fences necessity. We
have a fence law on the statute
books adopted by the session Of
1903, but it is cumbersome and ex-
pcnsive and does not apply in all
cases, so that the necessity for a
simpler and broader and less ex-
pcnsive process is manifest.
The Arnold bill provides that
every owner Of agricultural lands
from which he derives beneficial
use must maintain half of the parti-
ton fences abounding it.
That each shall build and main
tain that half Of the partition
fence which is on his right hand
when he stands upon his own land
and faces the line upon which the
fence is to be built.
\ legal partition fence is detin-
ed to be:
Any fence upon which the par
ties may agree.
If they fail to agree a legal fence
shall be a fence of five common
commercial barbed fencing wires,
securely fastened to sound posts,
set sixteen and one-half feet apart
each post to be at least six feet
long, and set firmly at least two
feet in the earth, at the ends and
corners the posts are to be firmly
braced to. prevent sagging. The
lower wire is to be six inches from
the earth. the second fourteen
inches. the third twenty-four inch
es, the fourth thirty six inches and
the fifth forty Eight inches.
If either party to a partition
line fails or refuses to build his
half of legal fence the other may
serve written notice upon him de-
manding that he erect or repair,
as the case may be, the half of the
line fence and if he fails to do so
within thirty days the aggrieved
party may build himself or repair
the fence, and may secure judg-
ment for the cost of it, the cost of
proceedings and an additional sum
of $25 as liquidated damages, and
the judgment shall be first lien
upon the land of the delinquent.

| ute books it is not likely there will

gest that these flights of oratory
which bring the burning tears Of
shame to the eyes of some of our
more asthetic, theoretic citizens
and cause the cry of tainted money
to go abroad through the land
should be taken with grain of
allowance for oratorical effect and
the solid facts in the case consid-
cred from a strictly business
standpoint. which | think will es-
tabllsh the fact that this money is
honestly ours coming to us
through gift of securities that
were good and valid and sustained
by the highest tribunal in the
land. The money we received for
these Gift bonds is no more taint-
ed and we can as honestly use it
for the purpose it was given rs we
can Carnegie's money for the pur-
poses he gives it. If it ever gets
up to the house to decide | feel
sure the matter will be viewed in
the same light that any other bust
ness proposition would. The burn
ing tears, the blush of shame and
the mawkish astheticism will be
left in the senate where it origin
ated.
The election of state senator
passed off quietly and without un-
due excitement. Morris of Mime
haha county presented the name
of Hon. Coe |. Crawford to the
house in masterful and dignitied
speech, very fitting for the occa-
sion. Ziebach of Buffalo county
presented the name Of Andrew +.
Lee. The vote stood 81 for Craw-
ford, 8 for Lee, Fowlep of Dead
wood absent. In the senate Craw-
ford received 3S, Lee s. one alb
sent.
Up to date there are something
over 80 bills before the house and
over 100 senate bills. Fourteen
bills have passed the house, two
reported on unfavorably by COM
mittees and one voted down by
the house. This was bill to pub
lish the names of all persons re-
ceiving aid from the county in tho
newspapers. The bill was thought
to be uncharitable and unneces-
sary. Only two bills have passed
the ordeal of both houses, one be-
ing the bill for payment of mileage
and per diem of officers and men,
bers, which seemed very popu-
lar bill and unanimously passed
both houses. The other was bill
pertaining to the diyisiOnof Butte
county, which required immediate
action SO that the organization of
the new counties might be COM
pleted. Several bills have passed
both houses that are practically
alike but are not concurred in as
yet. One Of these, the two cent
passenger fare bill passed the
senate without a dissenting voice,
but raised some discussion in the
house, many feeling it mistake
to pass it but also feeling bound
by party platforms to vote for it.
Will say that your member from
Stanley did all in his power to de-
lay the passage of this bill until a
later date. so that more thorough
understanding and further consid-
Grafton of the bill! might be had
but was voted down and the bill
passed with only three members
opposing. So the day is near
when you can go farther and pay
less than YOU now do.
