The case was of unusual interest
because of the fact that there are

test that the land was not of desert
character but was suitable for ag-
ricultural pursuits.

Japan to Annex Corca.

Toxic, March S.-An important
executive conference of Japanese
officials, in which the Korean Home
Minister participated was held to-
day While no official information
was given out it is believed that the
annexation Of Corea was the subject
under discussion.
1t is declared by those in high au-
thority that the present dual gov
eminent in Corea is not only inef-
fectual but expensive. The Corean
officials declared that unrest among
the Coreans is evident on all sides
and that the only possible way to
secure prosperity for his country
men would be the Capitalization of
affairs under the orderly and decided
control of single government.
The minister highly praised the
improvements and general better
ment of conditions in Corea under
the guidance of the Japanese. He
said that the native Christians in
Corea, acting under the direction OF
cerain missionaries, were seriously
hampering the work of the govern.
ment and were fostering the spirit
| of revolution.

ranging for this meet at Belle
Fourche. This association is
known as the Black Hills Inter-
scholastic Athletic association. The
statement that appeared in the Lead
department of the Pioneer-Times
the other day to the effect that the
schools Of Deadwood and Of Rapid
City had "bolted" some organiza-
ton or other, was misleading. The
schools of Deadwood and of Rapid
City are simply remaining in an or
ganzation of eight years stading-
an organization that refuses to pass
out of existence at the wave of
hand. For the past six or eight
years. this organization (The Black
Hills Interscholastic Athletic associ-
atom has selected the place for
The spring meet; has determined the
number, character and order of the
events; has handled all the moneys
of the association; has decided the
contests and has purchased, paid for
and awarded all the prizes with the

The Black Hills Interscholastio
Athletic association, has a board of

majority of the schools of the state
and by all the schools of the Black
Hills that have had representation
in any of our meets, as lie evidenced
by a vote taken in the Black Hills
at the meeting of the State Educa-

but praise for the manner
in which track meets have in the
past been managed by the Black

Tho New CAPITOL.

1t is cause for congratulations,
that the recent legislature showed
so liberal spirit in relation to the
completion of the new capitol and
the improvements of the grounds.
EVERY dollar that was asked by the
capitol commission, and every DOW
er for its expenditure was freely
granted and the commission is now
equipped to vigorously push com
pletion the structure upon lies that
Will rebound to the credit of the
state.
Although it was not expressed in
law for the instruction of the COM
mission it was nevertheless the pre-
valllng sentiment of the legislature,
sentiment so strong that it
amounted to instructions, that what
ever was done in finish, quality and
art should be of the best the money
VIII PROVIDE. Particularly was
the legislature impressed with the
plan for the Improvement of the
grounds shown in the scheme of
Engineer Lea and twice the house
expressly refused to limit the power
or the commission to adopt and work
out the plan; indeed from the be-
ginning, the additional appropria-
ton and the act extending the now
ers of the commission were passed
expressly to secure the lake scheme.
Forty-ffve thousand dollars also
are provided for the purpose of fur
nishing the building, in addition to
any sums which may be derived
from the sale or exchange of the
furniture of the present office. This
sum is for office furniture exclusive
~, the steel furniture for the vaults
and the steel stacks for the libra
rles having been estimated in the
main appropriation for the coma
pletlon of the capitol. This amount
ought to furnish the Offices sump-
tuously and in keeping with the in
terror finish of the building.
The Dakotan is especially inter
ested in the mural decorations. For
this purpose the main appropriation
carried an estimate of forty thous-
and dollars. This sum will mr.
chase a half dozen paintings of he
rolc dimensions of the first quality.
From extensive inquiry among peo-
pie of taste and culture; the facul-
ties of the higher institutions, the
Women's Clubs, the business epople
and the farmers we are satisfied
that the people of the state expect
and will be satisfied with nothing
less than the best in art. In this
technical and esthetic mission the
capitol builders will perhaps find
their most difficult task but we are
confident that they are equal to it
and that hey will begin In the new
capitol an art gallery which will
bring the art pilgrims of the earth
to South Dakota to study orr
masterpieces.
The entire state not less than this
community is beholding Messrs
Ewert and Newell for the successful
manner in which they handled the
capitol interests in the legislature;
less facile managers might easily
have blundered and failed to secure
anything like so adequate provision

RAPID CITY, SOUTH DAKOTA,

fraction over two per cent; the NJ
X. & T. between two and three pei
cent; the Burlington between three
and four per cent. But all this is
arrived at by allowing no extra cost
of service. But to add the extra
cost for freight and passenger, there
are no earnings over expenses. This
is confiscation under the constitu-
ton.
1T being a legislative act, and
not a judicial one, this court can
not fix rates. If it could, two and
one-half cent passenger rates would
be fixed for the stronger roads. and
three for the others. But that is
for the legislature acting itself with
experts such as the state employed
in these cases, or through a COM
mission with like assistance"
Judge Mcpherson also says in the
decision: When the statutes in
question were enacted, it was be-
lieved by many that by reducing the
fare there would be much more
travel. For month or so this
proved to be true. But with the
novelty gone, the testimony shows
that the increase has been less than
three per cent. and more nearly one
per cent"
He says further as to the aboli-
ton of passes that the evidence
shows the passenger revenue is in
creased by reason thereof less than
one per cent

GERMANS ARE SUSPICIOUS
Look With Disfavor Upon Liberia
Investigation Commission.

Berlin, March 6.-The Washing
ton proposal to send a commission
to investigate Liberia and report
conditions has aroused the suspic-
ions of some of the German trading
companies. 1t is pointed out that,
perhaps, the United States is first
looking for a pretext to establish
protectorate over the colored re-
public and then later on annex it.
Washington, March 6.-An APP
preparation Of $4,000 was provided
by congress for the expense of a
commission, composed of Robert G.
Ogden, Jacob H. Holander and
BROKER T. Washington, to investi-
gate conditions in Liberia. This &C.
ton was approved by the British
government.

eighth annual Hack Hills Inter-
scholastic Track and Field Meet will
be held at Belle Fourche on Satur-
day, May Sth.
Belle Fourche has the best track
in the Hills and is centrally located
This meeting promises to be the
closest in years, as Sturgis has a
very strong team, and Rapid City
expects to have the best team in it's
history. The Indian school, Belle
Fourche and the normal, all have
good coaches this year and all ex-
pect to win either the junior or high
school meet, SO the contests should
be close. Deadwood has not as
strong high school team as last
year, but it is better balanced. The
junior team will have to be de.
veloped as they have lost every man
on the team of last year. Lead

When the way Of escape was blocked

Two hundred pensioners at

church heard the shots and rushed
forth, but not in time to capture

lice that they do not believe the i'll

MORE FOR HARTMAN

Chicago, March 6.-The Record
Herald tomorrow will say: Nego-
tiations are in progress which, it is
thought, will eventually land for e.
II. Harriman's Union Pacific line,
west of Kansas City, the greatest
traffic coup in its history. 1t is
understood that in the beginning it
will be an interchange traffic agree
ment between the Wabash and
Union Pacific, which will be of i'm
mense value to each system.
The details of the agreement
have not yet received the sanction
of either Hartman or George Gould,
but it is known that the interchange
will practically exclude other con-
nections.
