Bull River Booming.

Geo. K. Henderson. President of
the Bull River Mining and Power
company accompanied by MI. Rus.
sci, one Of his chief lieutenants,
arrived in Canton last Friday direct
from Chicago, and Mr.. Henderson was
given a hearty welcome by his old
friends who have sustained him with
confidence and cash ever since he took
hold Of that big proposition In British
Columbia, because they knew his word
was as good as a bond. Mr.. Henderson
has labored earnestly to finance that
big water bower and through Insecure
millions In other ways, and he has
got so far along with his work that
the great battle Is won.
1t was ar immense undertaking but
Geo. Henderson had the faith that
carried him to c where hundreds
would have failed.
The water In Bull River will develop
$500 horse power and ever bit Of it
will be needed the moment the wires
are up. The placer gold proposition
ought to be very rich and other
mining interests close to the town will
make Bull River City one of the best
points in British Columbia. A rail-
road will reach the town this year,
and then things will hum.
Mr.. Henderson's many friends In
Canton are delighted over the outlook
and his face was a message Of pros
perity and success. He and Mr.. Rus
sci returned to Chicago this week and
then go to Bull River to force the
work along as rapidly IS men car do
it. 1t is expected that the big flume
will be ready to take the water from
the river in July or August and then
gold hunters will get busy. That
mile and a half OF river bed aught to
pan out a million dollars.
Everybody In Canton wants TO see
Geo. Henderson a millionaire ana the
LEADER puts him in that class inside
Of ten years.

Luxuries and Necessities.

The Minneapolis Journal speaking
OF some of the main articles in the
tariff says: sat first blush, the tariff
distinction between luxuries and ne.
cessities seems easy. Is 1t? Lemons
the other day were classed as a lux.
ury to be taxed, and instantly dis.
senters arose everywhere to protest
that lemons are not ~luxuries, but dire
necessities, especially to the sick and
also In spring weather.
The distinction, in fact, is one
wholly of opinion. A luxury may be-
come a necessity. "Give me luxuries,
and I'll dispense with the necessi-
ties, " said James Russell Lowell, or
words to that effect. The old saw,

poison" a be truthfully para

brew the punch and how David Bal

South Dakota are not yet in position
to do much In the way of improving
their live stock, or Of beautifying
their homes, but this is a great mis-
take.
South Dakota is populated with
progressive farmers-farmers who
know the value Of good stock and
who apparently realize that nothing
but the best will give them the most
profitable returns. South Dakota
breeders who have recently held pub
lie sales have themselves been greatly
surprised at the way the farmers take
hold OF their stock, and In their will
~lingness to pay the price necessary to
get what they want. Breeders from
other states who have held public
sales In South Dakota have been
equally surprised. Men who doubted
the advisability of holding public
sales in so new a state as South Dako-
have been overwhelmed at the en-
thusiasm manifested by its farmers
in pure-bred stock. Nor is that all;
these supposed South Dakota pioneers
pay cash for what they buy. They
are not asking the seller to take
notes; they don't need to, they have
money in the bank.
This is not Idle talk; what we say is
based on facts. A South Dakota
breeder OF Angus cattle Il. ". Reedy
OF Beresford) held a public sale a few
days ago on his farm and sold 81 head
for SlS, O25, or an average Of S2O7 per
head. The bulls brought 1925, and
the females S175 per head. Ninety
five per cent, or more, Of the cattle
sold went to South Dakota men, and
those South Dakotans, as they have
done at other sales, paid cash for 80
per cent Of what they bought. A
breeder of horses in northwestern
Iowa a short time ago decided to hold
a public sale Of pure-bred Percherons
at Mitchell, though he was somewhat
as to the outcome. He
feared, as others haye done, that the
farmers Of South Dakota would not
be willing to pay the price that pure
bred horses are now bringing, but he
was mistaken. He sold 80 head and
all but three went to South Dakota
farmers at their own %price-an aver
age OF 1858. For Is stations they
paid an average of 1852, and for %
mares an average of $471; here again,
when settlement was made, 80 per
cent was cash and 10 per cent notes,
anywhere in the west.
South Dakota farmers are to be con-
graduate upon the confidence they
in their state and upon the conf
.ence they have in the future Of good
stock. They are surely in the right.
All they need to do is keep up the
pace they have already set and in a
few years South Dakota will be up to,
If not ahead of, any state in the Union
In the number of and quality Of the
pure bread stock within its borders. =

smile just touched her fixed lips. And
then Vernon began. He spoke slowly
and with vast deliberation; his voice
was very low. He outlined his sub.
ject with exquisite pains, detail by
detail, making it clear just what prop.
osftions he would advance. His man.
ner was that of the lawyer in an ap-
pellate court, making a mastery and
purely legal argument; when it was
done, the senate, If it had paid atten.
tion-though it seldom did pay atten.
tion-would kncv all about the ques.
tion of woman-suffrage.
In his deliberation, Vernon glanced
now and then at Maria Greene. Her
eyes were sparkling with intelligent
interest. AS if to choose the lowest
point possible from which to trace the
rise and progress of legislation favor
able to women, Vernon would call the
attention of the senate first to the de-
cision of the Illinois supreme court In
re Bradwell, IS ILL.,, 525. That was
away back in 1869, when the age was
virtually dark; and that was the case,
gentlemen would remember, just as if
they all kept each decision of the
court at their tongues ends, in which
the court held that no woman could be
admitted, under the laws of Illinois, to
practice as an attorney at law. But
and Vernon implored his colleagues to
mark-long years afterward, the court
of it's own motion entered a nunc pro
tune order, reversing it's own decision
in the Bradwell case. Vernon dilated

"Mr. PRESIDENT" Vernon shouted.
There was no time now to retreat: he
had launched himself on the sea of
glory. A dozen other senators were
on their feet, likewise demanding rec
ognition.
"The senator from Cook" said the
Neutenant-governor.
Vernon stood by his desk, arranging
complacently the documents Miss
Greene had given him. Once or twice
he cleared his throat and wiped his
lips with his handkerchief. The other
senators subsided into their seats.

on. Age cannot wither, nor custom

He was growing weary. He already
showed the impressive exhaustion OF
the peroration. He had sacrificed a COL
lar and drunk all the water from hin
glass. He fingered the empty tumbler
for a moment, and then lifted it ON
high while he said:

and wives; and then, some quotations
fortunately occurring to him. he re.
minded them that Castiglione had tru-
" said that God is seen only through
women;" that "the woman's soul lead
eth US upward and on" He recounted
the services Of women in time of war,
their deeds in the days of peace, and
In the end he became involved in an
allegory about the exclusion of the
roses from the garden.
The senators had begun to pay at-
tention to him as soon as he talked
about things they really understood
and were interested In, and now they
shouted to him to go on. It was spread
abroad over the third floor Of the
statehouse that some one was making
big speech in the senate, and rep
resentatives came rushing over from
the house. The correspondents Of the
Chicago newspapers came over also
to see If the Associated Press man in
the senate was getting the speech
down fully. All the space on the floor
was soon crowded, and the applause
shook the desks and made the glass
prisms on the chandeliers Jingle. The
lieutenant governor tapped from time
to time with his gavel, but he did it
perfunctorily, as though he enjoyed
the applause himself, as v1cariously
expressing his own feelings; his eyes
twinkled until it seemed that, were it
not for certain traditions, he would
join In the delighted laughter that
made up most of the applause.
Once page came to Vernon with a
glass Of water, and as he paused to
wipe his brow and to sip from the
glass, he glanced again at Maria
Greene. Her face was solemn and a
wonder was growing in her eyes. Be-
side her sat old doc" Ames, scowling
fiercely and stroking his long white
beard. There were sharp cries of "Go
on! Go on"
But Vernon, not accustomed to
thinking on his feet, as takers love to
phrase it, and having stopped, could
not instantly go on, and that awkward
halt disconnected him. He was con.
scious that the moments were slipping
by, and there were other things
many other things-that he had in.
tended to say; but these things evaded
him-foated off, tantalizingly, out of
reach. And so, for refuge, he rushed
on to the conclusion he had halt
formed in his mind. The conclusion
was made up mostly from a toast to
which he had once responded while in
college, entitled "The Ladies'" The
words came back to him readily

planned geologic changes occurred. it carried

with the speed Of mountain torrent. About
half mile from the Ohio it spread out sud-
denly over a fiat rock 40 or so feet wide. and
plunged over its brink a sheer 80 feet. The
rock was of hardest limestone, but underneath

He came down the Ohio in hatboat and

rambling through the hills on hunting expe-

with the vast waterpower going to waste, and
