TO
MARKET 100000
POUNDS OF TWINE
Dealers Can Buy the Product Of
Prison Labor and Make q
Cent q Pound.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 15.-The state
penitentiary will manufacture two mil
lion pounds Of binder twine next year
in the prison plant. against 100000
pounds manufactured in 1909.
One reason for this increased OUT
put" says Warden Swenson, "is the
fact that we did not begin to- manu-
facture binder twine this year until
March. Our machinery was not put in
to operation until then"
1t was decided at the meeting in
Mitchell to charge the following prices
on carload lots of binder twine during
the coming year:
Standard twine. 500 feet to the pound,
6H cents; standard Manila. $50 feet to
the pound. tx cents; Manila. 900 feet
to the pound, 8 cents; pure Manila,
$50 feet to the pound 9A cents.
In lots of 10000 pounds one-half cent
is added to the price per pound of each
kind of twine. In small lots. one cent
is added
The 100000 pounds of binder twine
manufactured last year in the state
penitentiary were distributed to 100
towns in the state. No complaint on
the quality of the twine has yet been
received. according to Mr.. Swenson.
I'VE sell the twine manufactured in
the penitentiary," said Warden Sven
son, Ito anyone who has the price.
We do not wish. to injure the business
Of Of the retailer and that is one reason son
Why we increased the price of the
twine per pound when ordered in small
quantities.
The dealer can buy in carload lots
from us and make profit of one cent

INDIAN LANDS ARE
DISAPPEARING FROM
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
No Reservations in South Da-
kota 10 Years Hence II
Movement Continues.

Pierre S. D., Dec. 14.-When South
Dakota became state In 1889, practt-'
cally half its territory was Indian res
ervation. 1t is now predicted that
within 10 years there will be no reser-
walton within the boundaries of the
state. The elimination of the reserves
has been slow process. but 1t moves
more rapidly now that the question or
treaty consent of the Indians IL no
longer a part of the process.
A new bill contemplates the wiping
out of the remainder of the Cheyenne
River and Standing Rock reserves and
the elimination of reservations in the
south half of the state. They seek to
cut Meilette county from the small re-
naming portion of the Rosebud reserve
and to make the first inroad on Pine
Ridge reservation by the taking OF
Bennett county, leaving the southern
reservations in the Counties Of Todd,
Washabaugh, Washington and Sham
non. The two small reserves of Lower
Brule and Grow Creek, in the central
part of the state, will probably be the
last of the reservations to go. Some
time they will be abolished as reser-
vations, but there will be nothing to
open. as they are all taken by Indian
allotplents. and more and more Of the
land is being sold to the whites every
year.

Gurko, an Austrian girl who thought
Nick handsome in picture, and de-

Some time ago Nick inserted an "ad"

This led to correspondence with Annie.
Nick, realizing his own shortcoming,
sent on the photograph of handsome

GOVERNOR FOLK

Taft Hasn't Made Good and
Cloud on Horizon Is Central

Sioux Falls. s. D., Dec. 11.-Governor
Joseph w. Folk of Missouri, in an in
terview here yesterday stated that the
first thing congress ought to tackle
should be the tariff.
1T is the greatest issue that is now
before the national legislature" he
said warmly. 1.-THE tariff should be re-
vised and revised downward at once.
The democratic party should make
straight out fight against the pres
ent system of projections" he contin-
ued. There is no principle involved in
endeavoring to lower the duties on
some articles and to increase them on
others. Such contest could be only al
sham battle. The issue should not be
whether raw materials be placed on
the free list, and high tariff on finished
there should be any protection at all
for the sake of protection. I do not
think there should be. and hope the
democratic party will declare squarely
against It, 1t it unjust to tax 80 mill
lions Of people In order to make a few
men very rich.''
What do you think Of the demo-
Gratis in the last session Of congress
that voted for revision upward on the
tariff?" asked the reporter.
Governor Folks eyes snapped as he
replied: THE men you refer to were
not and are not democrats. Protection

cratic party.
"Those Representatives may think
they are democrats, but they are not"
What do you think of Taft?''
The governor was silent for q mo-
ment. THE people are waiting for him
to make good" he said finally.
Then he hasn't made good in your
opinion?''
Nobody claims he has made good"
Governor Folk rejoined.
At this moment the interview was
interrupted for a few minutes.

ANOTHER NINE
ADOPTS POLICY
OF OPEN SHOP
Largest Operating Company in
Southern Hills Closes Down
It's Works.

Keystone, S. D., Dec. 13.--FollowinA
closely on the action of the Homestake
Mining company at Lead in declining
70 further tolerate the alleged attempts
sOclallstic methods, of the property on
which their members worked, the Con-
{tinentai Copper Mining and Smelling
company, the largest operating COM
pany In the southern Hills. has shut
down and given notice to its employees
that 1t will in the future operate on a
strictly open shop policy.
The Continental company has built
up the Calumet camp near here and
was employing at the time of the shut
down over 100 men, paying regulation
wages and working eight-hour shifts.
It was not at first known that the
action had anything to do with labor
diflaeulty; but this leaked out and su-
per1ntendent Overpeck then issued q
statement Of the case. Superintendent
Overpeck declared that his company
had been operating at the Calumet
camp for a number of years without
any trouble or shutdown, sinking for
copper and operating their smelling
furnaces; that 1t was found that re-
pairs required brief shutdown Of the
furnaces, and that while making such
preparations and before their intention
nad become known, committee from
the recently organized union at the
camp, headed by union man from
Lead. waited upon him and declared
that the men wished to strike in SYM
pathy with the Homestake men, who
at that time (before the Homestake
shutdown) were contemplating striking
because the HOmestake declined to per-
init men to be coerced into the union.
Mr. Overpeck declared that the union
committee attempted to dictate terms
to him regarding the operation of the
company, and as the company intends
spending considerable money In the
near future, it was considered wise to
notify the employees at once that the
open shop would be maintained at any
cost no discrimination to be used for
orgagainst union or nonunion men. A
ncfice was thereupon posted declaring
thAt the company would shut down for
ropAirs and that before resuming all
men desirous of employment must reg
lister at the company ONCE. and that
In future no intimidation or coercion
would be permitted to be practiced
allpon nonunion men.

JOY RIDERS STEAL
HACK AND KILL HORSE

Watertown, S. D., Dec. 49,
A "joy ride of party of young
men Of this city last night came
near ending in a tragedy. as the
hack iii which the wild ride was
being taken was struck by the
midnight st. Louis passenger,
killing one horse and demolish-
ing the hack. The young fellows
had not been drinking pure
Kampeska water early in the
evening, and as they passed the
q. w. Vaux hack stand on Ma
pie street conceived the idea of
stealing one Of the rigs long
enough for the ride. The boys
are of good families in the city
and their identity is being with
held, though their narrow es-
cape with their lives will doubt
less be a lesson to other mid
night celebrators.

HoMEsTAkE VALUATION
PLACED At $2,225.00O

Lead, s. D., Dec. 16.-Speculation as
to the value of the Homestake prop
erty in this county on which the COM
pany naturally declines to give figures,
led to an examination of the tax lists
in the county treasurer's Office. The
office force is now busy preparing a
statement of taxes for the company
which will give some indication of the
value OF the property. This year. it is
estimated that the company will pay
into Lawrence county about 100000 in
taxes which is just one-fourth of the
total amount to be collected in the
county. This would indicate that the
iHomestake owns one-fourth of TIE
property in this county and as the
total To- valuation of property here is So
,00O,OOO, 1t would place valuation of
about Sc.225.0 900. This does not include

MuRoERER's SELF DEFENSE ~
PLEA is WEAKENED

Sioux Falls. S. D., Dec. 15.-Charles
Radford, young man whose home is
in Sterling, ILL.,. is fighting for his life
IN the state circuit court in this city.
He Is being tried on the charge of hav-
ing murdered George Hurd, Sioux
sulting because Radford and his BROTH
er. Eugene, kept Hurd's daughter and
sister out to too late an hour at night
The shooting and killing of Hurd
took place at an early hour on the
morning OF September Z last, upon the
return to the Hurd home of the two
brothers and the daughter and sister of
Hurd.
The state has concluded the work Of
offering testimony against the accused,
and today the defense commenced put
ting in testimony. Radford is basing
his defense upon the ground of self
defense. claiming that he believed his
own life In danger when he fired the
fatal shots.
Drs. Keller and Culver described
the two bullet wounds inflicted on
Eurd and stated it as their opinion
that the first wound, which was in the
neck, was not mortal one and could
not have impaired Hurd's activity
Thus the state will have an oppor-
contend that the shot which killed
Hurd was fired while Hurd was back
ing away from Radford and that the
latter could > not have fired the fatal
shot in self-defense.
Charles Radford, who during the
trial. sits in close proximity to his at
torneys. appears to be in dazed con-
dition. from which nothing that trans
pires in the court room seems to arouse
him. Close confinement since his ar
rest more than three months ago has
left it's marks upon him and he looks
more fit for a hospital than to be in
court room fighting for his life.

light on the efforts of the union

OF its men during the lockout by
the Homestake Mining company.
The statement. issued by an on
Ger, declares that so far over
$4,000 has been expended by the
union for food aud dsmoney for the
!. men and their families, and that
relief Df this sort is being daily
given by committees to members
of the unions afliliated with the
federation, who are in good
standing. and to their families,
wherever such aid is asked and
it is found just. In some cases
money is being given to union
men at the rate of 50 per week
for temporary necessities out
side of food. The union reports
that there are no cases of suf-
fering among it's members that
are not being relieved.

was reported favorably in the Senate.
but It did not get to the House. It
provided for the establishment Of a
land ONCE at LIE Beau. That this office
should be established in LIE Beau Is re-
garded as almost certain, for the rea-
son that 1t will prove great convent
ence for the homesteaders who will file
in the coming spring in connection with
the recent reservation opening, as we'll
as for those who will file on land in
the new territory to be opened. which
is imediately adjacent to LIE Beau. It
Is believed this view of the matter will
be the one taken by the interior de-
partment. which desires to make filinga
as easy as possible for the new settlers.
