ADVANCE HAS BEEN STEADY

South Dakota lands have already
attained a market value equal to the
average market value in older states.
The increase in price within the last
five years has been remarkable, but
it does not appear to have been the
result of anything like a boom. In
fact the real estate market has been
apparently quiet for new country,
but the demand for our soil has been
persistent and urgent, based on the
value of the property itself. When
it can be shown that an annual profit
of from twenty to fifty per cent and
frequently more, can be made from
a tract of land by ordinary intelli-
gent cultivation, tina. land is sought
after by men who are in the farming
business, and do not look upon the
first cost of a farm as an affair of great
Importance. The first cost is soon
made up in bountiful crops and good
prices-mainly the latter. And there
is a general impression throughout
the country that good prices for farm
products have come to stay.

Arlington Sun: The proposition to
have postmasters elected by popular
vote in the places they are to serve is
likely to become a political issue in
this state, and it is pity. There is
no reason why the people of a com
munity should not have hand in
electing the postmaster, just as they
do the other men who fill public posi-
tions. The present mode of appoint
ment through wire pulling by politi-
cal bosses may be American, but it is
not calculated to give general salts
faction. Popular election would be
much fairer.

lessened by the news of a Spanish

Moors. Hardly a day passes in Bar

agitation increased with the arrest Of
Ferrer, the anarchist leader. The

DECLARES FOR FREE SPEECH

Washington, Oct. 12.-Defance of
any power that would attempt curtail-
ing his right to free speech or the free
dom of the press were expressed to-
night by Samuel Gompers, president of
Labor, in an address which was the
climax of demonstration arranged by
organized labor to honor his return
from Europe. Referring to the Jail

There is no man to whom will bend

will look unless he posses the attributes
of honesty and fair dealing.

That America is still looked upon
as land of promise by the people OF
foreign countries is well illustrated
by the desertion of some 200 men
from the British warships visited
New York for the Hudson Fulton
celebration. Desertion of enlisted
men is a serious offense, not for a
moment to be condoned. Yet it is a
cause of pride for Americans to have
their country still considered land
of opportunity. 1t is certificate of
national character. perhaps extrava-
CANT in it's terms, but mainly accnr-
ate and certainly welcome.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

as second class matter.
TAMA JiM's WISDOM.

Washington Post: The pregnant
preachments of Secretary Wilson are
bearing good fruit in the remarkable
progress in intensive farming. Reports
from all parts of the country show
that the solid pemmican of agricultural
wisdom which Tama Jim has been SOW
ing broadcast for many years is being
absorbed by the farmer with gratifying
results. The tiller of the soil is going
to school. The ancient contempt for
hook larnin is disappearing with the
knowledge gained by hard experience
that modern agriculture is based on the
sciences, and that success on the farm
is in direct proportion to the farmers
understanding of the laws of chemistry
and physics. Results tell the story of
the dawning Of new era in American
agriculture, Modern methods are get
ting double the crops from across
which, under the old, happy-go lucky
system CT culture. gave parsimonious
returns. 1t is the real rural uplift,
and it il only inits beginning now.
The rapidly growing demand for
farm products and the consequent
high prices they bring are working
revolution in the east, where, under
the old methods, countless farms had
been abandoned as worthless. Scien-
tific agriculture is finding the proper
use for these soils, and under inten-
sive cultivation many of these old
farms are making their owners rich.
Land which some years ago could be
made to yield only 100 to 100 bushels
4 Of potatoes now produces from 400 to
500, with the promise of 700 bushels
In the near future under the right
method Of cultivation.
Other things being equal, improved
methods of cultivation, with the con-
seqnent increase in the amount of
yield, should ultimately result in a
lower price for staple products, but
not necessarily at loss to the far
mer. At the present time the mid
dleman hogs the big profit at the ex-
pense of both the consumer and the
producer, but recent experiments in
independent marketing in California,
Florida and the big truck districts
show q decided tendency toward
bringing the producer and the con-
sumner into almost direct connection.
It the application of modern bust
ness methods to farming If present
tendencies continue, the time may
arrive when thorough university
and technical education will be a
requisite for any man who desires TO
be . successful farmer.

DECISION FOR CORE.

After many months of litigation,
reyerses following reverses, Frank
Core is permitted by the secretary of
the interior to possess his homestead,
in this county. The decision of the
local land Office was in favor of Mr..
Core, the original entryman. The
commissioner of the general land
office reversed the decision, finding
for the contestant. An appeal was
taken to the secretary of the interior,
who affirmed the decision of the COM
missioner. Later the secretary Of
the interior granted re-hearing,
after which, he reversed himself, his
final decision being for the entryman.
Prior to the commencement of con-
test proceedings, Mr.. Core served as
a policeman in this city, and did not
reside upon the homestead premises.
Two years ago the commissioner of
the general land office wrote a deci-
sion, in which he stated that elective
Office holders only were excused from
a residence upon lands held under
the homestead act, soon after which
the right of Mr.. Core to hold the land
was contested. 1t was shown upon
the rehearing that Mr.. Core, while
serving as policeman, frequently per-
formed duties incumbent upon a
constable-an elective otiicer-and
that the statute in this state gave to
a policeman such right, saved not
only the day to Mr.. Core, but also a
homestead that is valuable. John R.
Holmes, attorney, represented the
entryman.
