ON DAKOTA PRAIRIES

Do you know the brilliant flora
That gems the living green
OF onr widespread western prairies?
'Tis the fairest ever seen.
In the sunny month of August
The delicate goldenrod
Is lifting it's tiny spirals
In praise of Almighty God.
Then acres of coreopsis
With soft brown velvet heart,
And long -steuimed buttercups swaying
Where breezes dance and dart.
All these are the suns own color
The golden yellow glow,
But the royal purple flowers
kingly pageant show.
Asters, spirea and bluebells,
Orchids, varied as gay,
The wealth of these wonderful prairies
1t cannot be told in day.
They yield the corn and the barley,
The wheat that fills the bin;
Our needs the God of love supplies
And throws the flowers in.

HAD it not been for the hard fight
made by the progressives in congress
to secure reasonable amendments to
the railroad bill, the increase in
freight rates all over the country
would have now been in effect. As it
is the matter of an increase is now
being heard before the interstate
commerce commission and shippers
have and are taking advantage of the
privilege to appear and contest the
proposed increase. The original bill
as drafted by Attorney General
Wickersham, and endorsed by Presi
dent Taft, allowed the increase of
rates after sixty days to become etfec-
tive whether shown to be just or not.
Shippers would not have been allow
ed to contest proposed increase, and
the only opposition weala have de
pended upon the whim of the attorney
general The law as it now stands
thanks to the progressiv S, is the best
we ever had, although President
Taft is not responsible for Il in the
least. And right here let us suggest
that South Dakotans should remem-
Der that their own senator, Coe L.
Crawford, was one of the untiring
workers who are responsible for this
law.

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerou'
for De Smet people to Neglect.


The great danger of kidney
troubles is that they get firm hold
before the sufferer recognizes them.
Health is gradually undermined.
Backache, headache, nervousness,
lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary
troubles, dropsy, diabetes and
Bright's disease follow in merciless
succession. Don't neglect your
kidneys. Cure the kidneys with the
certain and safe remedy, Doan's
Kidney Pills, which has cured people
right here in this locality.
Henry Hopkins, Illinois Ave-, 2ud
ST, Huron, S. Oak, says: II suf-
fered from rheumatic pains in my
limbs and a dragging ache in the
small of my back. My joints were
so stiff and sore that it was hard for
me to move. The kidney secretions
gave evidence that my kidneys were
dsordered, being too frequent 10
passage and containing sediment.
Reading of Doan's Kidney Pills,
procured box and am glad to state
that since using them my back has
been much stronger. The stiffness
in my joints has also disappeared
and my kidneys gave me no trouble.

HOW THE TARIFF HELPS THE
WOOL GROWER.

1t is estimated that Wyoming's
wool clip for 1910 will aggregate
about 25,006 Go lbs, as against 10000,
600 lbs for 1909. And for this clip
the growers will probably not receive
more than one.half as much in the
aggregate as they did for the 1910
clip, the difference being due to the
loss of sheep and the lighter fieeces
and the very low price of wool this
year.
Some clips have been sold outright

IT is said that number of men are
after the Ballinger job. They are get
ting in the race rather early. AT
the present time there is no such job
to give out and the haste President
Taft is making to kick Ballinger out
is not at all reassuring to a man
hungry for the Office.

FAIRBANKS TRANSFER MAN
 BOOSTS NEW CUTOFF ROAD

D. F. Coombs. proprietor of the Fairbanks Transfer, arrived in Chit ina Thursday with Q horse and cut ter and has the distinction of being the first man to make the through trip from Fairbanks with a team over the trail. MT. Coombs stated that he was discouraged at several of the roadhouses from coming this way, and that at one place he was told he could not cross the Tonsina and that there were no accommoda- tions along the new trail. He wanted to see for himself, however, and on arriving at Chitina expressed himself as amazed at the great amount of thorough and substantial work done on what he says is a boulevard com pared to some Alaska trails. From what was represented to him he ex- pected to find only double-ender trail, and a temporary one at that, but as he found a frst-class wagon road and all completed his surprise was complete. MT. Coombs has a team of horses and some freight which will arrive on the next steamer from the states, all of which he says will certainly go into Fairbanks by way of Cordova and Chitina and oy- CT the new trail. MT. Coombs left for Cordova Saturday morning, leay- ing his horse and outfit in the Chit ina stables until his return.

We had the pleasure of short chat with A. F. Fitch, T. H. Bar nett, A. A. De Leo, A. H. Osborne, A. L. Mccoy, Charles Newby and sev- eral others of the contracting com pany's forces, who passed through here on Tuesday evening from Tie kel en route to their new quarters at 146. MT. Fitch is chief clerk on the staff of commissary clerks, Mir. Barnett, assistant MT. De Leo is in the chief timekeeper's office, and MT. Mccoy general foreman of the camp. We haven't met all the boys in the many departments of the forces q. the front, but those whom we have met are all good fellows. We don't say it because a number of them have subscribed for the Leader, eith- CT, but because we have found the majority of them like many others of those. who are instrumental in building up this great northern en- pire, big-hearted, whole-souled and congenial, ever ready to do you a good turn if you are right.

NAH. IS COMING
 ON NOV. 16

It is now definitely settled and the date set when the mail is to leave Seattle for the interior by way of Cordova and Chitina. A telegram was received by Postmaster Diggs at Cordova on Friday from the First assistant Postmaster General, in forming him that the mail would leave Seattle for Fairbanks and in terior points on the steamer North western, leaving from Seattle on Mo- vember IS. Additional clerks have been sworn in at the Cordova post office, and preparations made for handling the large amount of Fail. The trail is ready, and so is the stage line, the necessary teams and sleighs now being in Chitira at the Orr barns. The mail should arrive in Chitina about November 21.
 Whether it will be necessary to place a third vessel on the south western Alaska route in order to maintain a punctual mail service dur ing the winter months is the Ques- ton faced by officials of the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Conditions of the United States mail contract call for regular eight day service from Seattle to Cordoya, Valdez and Seward, and, during the fairly reliable weather of the sum- mer months, no difficulty is exper- fenced in carrying out the terms of the contract. On. their regular schedules the steamships Alameda and Northwestern cover the route to Cordova and Valdez with three days allowed for travelling between Prince William Sound ports, and return to Seattle with margin of three or four days.
 In battling with winter storms this margin may not be sufficient. If this is found to be the case as the sea- son progresses the steamship Olym- pia probably will be put on as an extra vessel.

STR. PORTLAND
 IS WRECKED

The steamer Portland met with an accident early Saturday morning, while en route from Seattle to Cor doya. During havy weather she struck a rock of Martin Point, and was run onto the beach at the mouth of the Katalla river. Passengers and mail were immediately gotten ashore and with the assistance of the launch es Swan and Triton the freight was landed. During the afternoon a stiff wind came up and the vessel took on nine feet of water in half an hour. Later the weather settled and the indications are favorable for saving the steamer.
 An attempt was made to get in communication with the Alameda, by wireless. and if successful the latter will go into Katalla Sunday and pick Ep the passengers and mail. If the wind does not again shift it is be- lieyed that the hole in the Portland can be patched. in which event the Alameda will tow her to Cordova.
