The two-cent passenger rate
bill will pass, in spite of the earn
est efforts being put forth to
have the legislators see it in the
right light. 1t will undoubtedly
mean a curtailment of passenger
service-one of the trains from
Pierre to Deadwood will be taken
off, it is said, and the little indie
pendent roads, like the Crouch
line, from Rapid City to Mystic,
and the South Dakota Central,
from Sioux Falls to Watertown,
will have to cut down their train
service to the minimum. Maybe
such squibbs as these read like
bluffs, but we shall see what We

This was house bill No. 2, known a.
the Sasse drug bill, and 1t occupied
The attention Of the house for almost
the entire afternoon session. There
were motions and counter motions
and amendments galore. Tie first
move was an innocent little motion
promulgated by our food and dairy
commissioner TO refer TO the atlor-
ney general to pass on the eonslitu-
tionality Of the bill. As This official
is " eeks behind with his work, this
seemingly fair aud innocent motion
was promptly put out OF the running,
as it meant long delay to the pas
sage Of the bill. After voluminous
talks and slight changes in the bill
il was brought to vote and passed
by a large majority. The interest
taken in this bill proves the fear
many of our statesmen hold that
this temperance legislation is going
to sesult In driving us all to the
drug stores and we must protect our
brands.
The unheard Of has occurred! A
motion to adjourn has been voted
down in the house. Things are
growing strenuous, and another re
cess " ill have TO be called.

Senator Kittredge is back of
an amendment to the bill locating
a new land office at LIE Beau,
which provides that the location
of the land Office would be left to
the president, to be selected when
the lands north Of the Cheyenne
river are thrown open to settle
ment. So far, it is the pull of the
NJ. & st. l.. railroad that has been
responsible for the movement
but il seems that the proposed
amendment will be along the
right line. There are three
million acres in the proposed dis
trict, and two million are not yet
open to settlement. The greatest
number would be benefited by
having the Office located west of

The stockmen in the northwest
part of the state are opposing the
enactment of herd law for all
the country west of the river.
They are supported in their de-
sires by their members in the
legislature, and by Senator Rowe,
of this district. The herd law
should be in effect in every part
of the state. If stockmen control
by being all to themselves in a
certain section, they can handle

protected and they are coming west
