No station in the state is more

different from the problems q

because our soil and our climatic
conditions are different. And ono
thing is certain, light must b
thrown on the agricultural posel-
bilities of this locality, if our

new ones are to be induced -

Last week when the new board
Of county commissioners assembled
IN Fort Pierre it was found that
i've duly elected members had
filed their bonds and were; all
ready and willing to be sworn in
To Till the four vacancies on the
board. Ii had been decided by
the attorney, who have been in
ycstigatiny the matter that the
contest for membership Oh the
board lay between Mr.. George
Mathicson Of Fort Pierre and Mr..
Morrison of Philip. The latter
Was not present, but it was de-
cijed that with his sanction an
agreed statement Of facts should
be submitted to the january term
OF circuit court in this county and
the decision of the court taken as
iinnI IN determining who should be
sworn in as commissioner for the
remaining vacancy.
The situation from a legal point
OF view, or from any other, is not
free from many difficulties.
Mathleson was nominated under
the primary in a district where a
vacancy was to occur by the ex-
piration of Sylva's term, as the
county was then districted. After
the primaries, the board re-
dlstricted the county. One result
Of this was to place Mathieson in
the same district as w. A. Hop
kins Of Hayes, a hold-over men,
Der. Another result was the
creation of a commissioner district
from the territory near Philip.
The Philip district had no resident
candidates, so both democrats and
republicans proceeded to nominate
candidates by petition. Later this
action was ratified By tho county
central committee as required
under the primary law. The names
of all the candidates went on the
ballot and the five republicans
were elected.
The question is simply is
Mathieson, residing in q district
where vacancy was to occur,
nominated for that district under
the primary, but later thrown into
a district where commissioner
was holding over, and elected
there, entitled to the Office; or
should it go to Morrison, who was
not a candidate before the pri-
maries, but, being in a newly
formed district after the primaries,
was nominated and duly elected
for that district? That is the
whole problem in a nutshell.

Plans For The Experiment Station

Professor Willis who has charge
Of the work at the various agricul-
tural experiment stations in this
state was at Cottonwood last week
to look over the situation and in
augurate plans for the work at the
Stanley county station during the
coming season.
In talk with q representative
of the News Professor Willis
stated that the extent of the work
at the Cottonwood station de-
pended largely upon the aid given
by the legislature. There is avail
able twelve hundred dollars, the
income from twenty-five thousand
acres of school lands, for expert
ment work. The established sta
tions are in a measure already Sc
cure in their finances. The station
at Brookings is maintained
through funds furnished by tho
United States government. The
Highmore sub station is in a mea-
sure self sustaining, and will need
an appropriation of not over q
thousand dollars. The Eureka
sub station has been under way =
year. but has no buildings, aud 50
is asking for an appropriation Of
eight thousand dollars for equip
ment. Cottonwood may get an
appropriation and it may have to
get on with twelve hundred
dollars, as Eureka did the first
year. Much depends upon tho

A meeting was held in the hall
Monday forenoon in which Supt.
Willis, Of the Agricultural College
at Brookinys, delivered an address
on the benefits and advantages of
All experimental station to the
country in which it is located.
Mr.. Willis is a good talkcr and de-
livered his address in way that
convinced his hearers that he
knew whereof he spoke. Owing
to the early hour at which the
meeting was held there wasn't
much of crowd present but those
who were there were no less en-
thusiastic from lack Of numbers.

done on the main floor. The plate

In the capture of Tom Barnes of
Forrest City, and Elmer Zigler of
Fort Pierre, the Stanley county
officers have evidently broken a
link in a horse rustling chain.
Zigler has turned states evidence
and brings Barnes into game as
principal, when he claimed to be
an innocent purchaser. He asserts
that Barnes not only took the
horses off their hands, but wanted
them to get him a car of heavy
horses in the same way. The
horses were found securely hidden
in pasture near LeBeau, and not
until young man in that vicinity
who was suspected of knowing
something of the matter had been
scare into taking the officers to
the secret pasture. Henry Cakes,
another young man charged with
being partner in the deal, is on
the Cheyenne River Indian reser-
vation and the Indian police are
looking for him.
Lenucl Elshire and j. ID. Addi-
son, the retiring members of the
board of county commissioners,

try's service. They have proven

strenuous time in the history of

duties well performed. -Fairplay.

Early in the session ofthe lcyis-
laturc il bill viii be introduced in
the house with a prospect for
adoption, providing for an in
crease in the membership of the
supreme court from three to five.
lnasmuch rs newspapers of all
shades of political belief have ap-
proved the proposed increase in
the court, it is considered certain
that some bill to this effect and
making the required new district
ing of the state, Will be approved.
In the bill the third district will
contain the following counties:
Brookings, Deuel., Hamlin. Kings
bury, Clark. Bead|e. Sphinx, Hand,
Hyde, Hughes, Sully. Stanley and
Armstrong. The division as a
whole makes Il district Of the
territory lying west Of the county
division line that runs north and
south through the entire state,
just west of Lyman and Stanley
counties. The remainder Of the
state is divided into four districts,
running east and west, parallel
ing each other and practically
equal in territory. 1t is argued in
support of this division that it
will tend to remove the Missouri
river ~ a dividing line in state
politics.
The Kadoka Press makes the
following comment on the market
day recently held in that town:
THE First Mutual Saturday
Marked Day has come and gone.
To say that it was the most sue
cessful event in the history of
Kadoka, is not saying too much.
The day was fine which of course
had much to do with the success
of the affair, and people came
from all directions in numbers, in
fact it was the largest crowd Of
people in town since the fair. 1t
was not pleasure trip but bust
ness visit TO take advantage Of the
special features offered by the
Kommercial Klub and also by the
various business houses. Good
fellowship reigned supreme. All
interests were mutual. The farm
ers who brought in products we're
able to dispose of them at good
prices. Those who took advan-
tage Of the free auction sale we're
we'll pleased with the results.
Every article offered for sale with
possibly two exceptions was sold.
There was no by-bidding. In the
instances mentioned the auction
eer, accorded to the owners, the
customary privilege of placing
one bid on the article offered. In
these cases the one bid was offered
by them and none other. The
goods sold at good prices which
pleased the contributors. Not one
article was disposed of which did
not bring a reasonable price.
