Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1909-08-06
WatcAes ana EeweI1y

George w. Egan was in Canton on
business last Saturday and favored
this office with a short visit. He is
not troubled by the active work OF
his enemies, because the people are
behind him in his magnificent fight
for Justice and a square deal, ana II ne
can't wiz. through the supreme court
he can win a greater victory before
the people the people who elect a
supreme court and other state officers.
Egan is a brilliant orator, and has the
courage to fight and will fight until
he wins justice, and those who think
he will ever retreat don't know the
man. The people of South Dakota
are honest and love justice, and in
this Egan persecution they figure ont,
and correctly too, that he is being
prosecuted because he dared to prose-
cute Mrs. kaufman in the face Of
opposition that would have driven
any ordinary man out Of the case.
He faced a vicious combination and
won a great victory for law and de-
cency, and for this he has been perse-
cuted by a power he will yet over
come and destroy. Mr.. Egan has a
message for the people that will
brush party politics aside, and that
message will crush those who stand
for wrong and elevate him who
stands for the right. Persecution
and circumstances have given Mr..
Egan the right to expose corruption
and fraud and ask vindication at the
hands of>men who believe in justice,
and he will get it in good measure.

The Tariff Farce.

Az was expected the manufacturing
trust protected gentlemen OF the east
have got about all they asked for
through Cannon and Aldrich.
The middle west, extreme west and
south got next to nothing In the
shakeup, merely a bone here and
there to keep the sheep men, the hide
mon and other unimportant interests
growing while Aldrich and Cannon
and their servile trust servants plug
ged the board and rung of, telling
tho president from day to day that
they were revising down ward on an
upgrade schedule.
Day after day men plead In the
senate for q square deal and party
honor and wer6 answered with sneers
from the Rhode Island trust boss.
Ten or q dozen able, fearless, inde-
pendent republican senators refused
to be sold to the trusts and stood for
justice and a square deal. They were
denounced as cranks, populists and
near democrats by a few senators who
had to defend their masters In order
o get their pay.
Out Of this tariff farce New Eng
land profits more than the rest Of the
country, while the middle west gets
no benefits whatever and the cor
sumner, the nan who pays the freight,
gets skinned as usual and this Is what
They call downward revision.
Senator LaEollette with the aid Of
experts finds that the new tariff bill
shows . net increase over existing
rates Of s per cent. This is what
Cannon and Payne and Aldrich and
Otfer towards In the senate call q
downward revision. Payne played a
neat game, 10 his supposed contest
With Aldrich and Cannon and by this
means hoped to confuse the president
and lead him into q false position and
then betray him.
President Taft, II true to himself
md true to the people, should veto
the new tariff bill and fall back on

which made millionaires fast enough.

Double SOmerSauIt in Auto
RinsIins Bros. Present Thriller That
ParaIyzes Public.


The absolute limit of daring is
reached in the double e-somersaulting
act which a young French woman is
presenting with Ringing Brothers
circus. The automobile, with its fair
occupant, makes two complete revolu-
tions high in space, after a terrific
plunge down a steep incline.
There have been circus thrillers iB
the past in which automobiles and BIZ
cycles have made single turns in the
air but such comparatively trivial
acts are not to be compared with the
Ringing thriller. This latest sensa-
tion is beyond question the most start
lingly dangerous performance ever at
tempted, and what makes it the more
sensational is the fact that il is ac-
complished by mere girl.
None the less surprising is the won
derful Schumann performing horse act.
which Ringing Brothers have also im-
ported to add luster to their already
exalted name. The Schumann horses
drink from glasses, a feat seemingly
impossible for a horse to accomplish.
They also roll each other about in huge
brewery barrels.
And there are still other great feat
ures added to these most remarkable
numbers. The Arthur Saxon Trio of
strong men, who together lift over four
and a half tons, belong at the top Of
the list. And close after them come
the telephoning elephants. the wonder
ful Mexican wire wizard, Roblidello.
the Lorch family of acrobats and the
aeronaut pig which Lii Kerslake is in
Producing.
When the big circus visits Whining
ton on Friday, May IA. it will not take
people long to see the wonderful i'm
provements that have been made since
the show was last here. All of the out
fit is new, the parade is better and
longer, there are more horses, more
people. more wagons. more tents-in
fact. more Of everything that goes to
make a circus.
Particularly has the menagerie been
added to. Practically speaking. it is a
complete geological display with moth
ing omitted that is of interest in the
animal line. There viii be two per-
iformances here.

HISTORY OF THE SYSTEM THAT SUPPLIES
MOUNTAIN HOME WATER FOR IRRIGATION

Der II, 1891, articles Of incorpora-
ton of the Gilmore County lrriga-
ton company were fled, the capital
stock being 100000, and the in
corporators were Samuel Doll, J. E.
Harper and H. j. Caldwell. During
the succeeding two years this COM
pany expended in the neighborhood
of $135,0O0. The Mountain Home
reservoir was built on the original
reservoir site, covering about 700
acres, and storing About 5000 acre
feet; that is. sufficient water to
cover 5000 acres to a depth Of one
foot. This reservoir. with enlarge
ments, has done service ever since
and is part of the present enlarged
system. 4

company, which succeeded to all
rights and property interests.
The Great Western Beet Sugar
company. under the management Of
joni H. Garrett, continued, the
work Of developing the system and
water supplies, and in the year 1907
finished the tunnel connecting Camas
reservoir with Long Tom. This is
the only work of Importance accom-
plished under the management Of
Mr.. Garrett and is of no small inn
portance.
1t added to the supply of water
for irrigation several thousand new
acre feet, which would be sufficient
for the irrigation of approximately
5000 acres of land. Through the
loose methods Of Garrett and his
gross mismanagement, the system

1t had long been known by those
familiar with the locality that the
land whereabouts, under the pecu-
liarly favorable climatic conditions
that obtain, possessed more than or
binary productiveness when brought
under irrigation. 1t was an un-
usually large body of land, such as
would add immensely to the wealth
Of that locality and of the state
when brought under cultivation.
There it lay, producing practically
nothing. 1t needed water. How
was that water to be obtained? That
was the problem that confronted the
pioneers of this enterprise as far
back as 1888. --.---~.-
There being no living stream of
any size that was accessible, it was
that if sufficient water
