Th;rty-six Cars of
Immigrants in a Day

During Monday night thirty-six car
loads of immigrants goods arrived
over the Pierre line of the Northwest
ern. They represented upwards of
twenty families en- route to points
east of here, the majority going over
the Milwaukee to farms near Erling,
Presho, Vivian and Draper. The new
corners ale from northeastern Iowa
and Illinois and come with stock, ma
chinery, household goods, etc, ready
to begin active operations as soon as
possible.
The shipment was originally made
over the Milwaukee, that road haul
ing them as far as Mitchell where the
cars were sidetracked because the
company found it inexpedient to haul
further on account of the bridge at
Chamberlain being washed out. Mem
bers of the party claim their cars were
held five days at Mitchell and that
they were not allowed yard privileges
while awaiting arrangements with
the Northwestern to haul them to
this city. But when the Northwest
ern undertook the work the company
placed two Mogul engines on the train
and made the circuitous route in fast
time. 1t is estimated the trip was
heightened some 400 miles on account
of the Milwaukee's inability to cross
the Missouri at Chamberlain.

Get Title to Quarries.

Deadwood Telegram: Senator Gam
BILE Is credited with movement to
secure perfect title for the national
government of the famous red pipe
stone quarries and reservation in Min
nesota, says the Yankton Press and
Dakotan. THIS rs;ar.ation belongs
to the \ ,lllRSoil Uribe of Sioux Indians
and was so recognized by the govern
ment many years ago when the Yank-
tons coded their land, now compris-
ing nearly all of South Dakota east OF
the Missouri, to the government. A
clause in that treaty provided for a
survey by the general government Of
the Pipestone quarries. The survey
was made and something over sec
tion of land within which the quar-
ries are situated, was reserved. These
quarries are about twelve miles west
of the state line and are not patron
lied by the Indians as they were a
half century ago when the represent
atives of several Sioux tribes gathered
there in summer to hold their feasts,
smoke the Calumet of peace, and lay
In asupply of the precious stone to be
worked up into pipes and ornaments
during the winter season. The pur.
pose of the government in securing
the title is to bestow the tract upon
the state of Minnesota.

Move or PAY. REM

Pierre Fairplay: For years q NUNS
Der of the minor state departments
have been renting rooms In other cit
les than Pierre and keeping their offices
at such places. AS there was no room
in the old capitol for them, this was
allowable up tothe present. But now
that the state is prepared to furnish
Office rooms for all departments, the
state auditor has sent out a circular
letter to all such officials that from
and after the first Of June the state
will not accept further vouchers for
rental for such officers. This leaves
them in the position that they will
either occupy the rooms the state fur
nishes them, or pay rental at other
places out of their own funds.

MAY CHANGE
COUNTY seal.
Fall River County Agitafeds
over Proposed Seat Of II
Government. \
The COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS IS sl2O,OOO.O(i
Residents of Western Part Of COUNTY y
Offer to Assume whole Debt
Voters may Approve.

Even staid old Fall River county,
situated in the extreme southwesterr
part Of the state, promises to be the
scene this year OF a hot county tiiyis-|
ion campaign; In fact, such q cam
paign already has been inaugurated|
there, principally by residents ofl
Edgemont and other towns outside of|
Hot Springs, the present count seat.
The county is one OF the largest I'LL
South Dakota, being fifty-four miles
from east to west and thirty three
miles from north to south. III con.
tains 1,7S2 square miles 81 territory,
only small part Of which has been
developed until within recent years.
Heretofore such territory IN the
county as has been occupied outside
OF the towns has been devoted largely
to sheep and cattle raising. s8S
However. the county now is passing;
from stock raising to an Agricultural
region. The new and scientific meth
DDS of farming have caused landseek-
ers to pour into the county In large
numbers and It Il believed that itI
will be q comparatively short time
until all the government land Ia tho
county will have been settled upon
by homesteaders. "
The campaign by residents Of Edge
mont has for its purpose the division
OF the county on a north and south
line and the forming Of an entirely
new county from the western half of
the present county. II this IS done
Edgemont would be the only town
considered for selection % the county
seat Of the new county, as It Is CEN
trally situated in the western half Of
the present county and has good
railroad. Titles.
The commercial club 81 Edgemont
has taken hold Of the project and will
endeayor to induce the board az
county commission to submit the
question Of county division to the
voters at the election In November.
The residents Of the western half 81
the county offer to assume e12O, 600 Of
the indebtedness Of the county II they
are permitted to take the western
half of the county and form new
county from it.
The county division proposition
promises to overshadow all other
questions now for the voters Of the
county before the campaign Is very
far advanced.

CAMPAIGN IS
NOW STARTED
Richards Defines Issues be-
tween Stalwarts and Pro-
gressives as they exist.
CRY OF Ex1RAVAGAxcE IS NOW RELOCATED
Will the people Approve Cannonism
and AIdrichism by reflections, or
Protec their Own interests?

Huron, S. D., March 16.-R. G. Rich
ards, chairman of the progressive re-
publican campaign committee, was
seen at headquarters today and an
nounced that everything is now ready
for opening of the progressive primary
campaign. Gov. Wesley addressed the
first county conference for organiza-
tion purposes on Tuesday afternoon
at Centerville.
The issues of the campaign between
the stalwarts and progressiyes have
simmered down to two propositions.
Mr.. Richards said:
The state financial issue was
threshed out two years ago and both
factions have since declared in their
respective platforms for keeping state
expenses within the state revenues in
future, so there is no disagreement as
to policy in this respect, which really
wipes out that issue; the people hav-
ing, through their legislative repre-
sentatives, authorized and at the polls
endorsed what has been expended for
needed state buildings in excess of
state revenues. The two remaining
issues raised by the difference in plat
forms are as follows:
F'irst-Shall the stalwart congress
men, Martin and Burke, who for ten
years past have stood with the Aldrich-
Cannon policy of protection of watered
corporate capitalization and organized
graft, without protest, be reelected
and continued to represent this agri-
cultural state at Washington: or shall
two new progressive congressman, OPP.
posed to that policy, be elected in
their place? This is the congressional
issue.
Second Shall the stalwart practice
of the personal spoils system, which
has governed in politics in this state
since statehood, be continued or shall
a legal party method as to party nom.
nations to appointive Offices be made
a part of the primary law? The stall.
warts turned this proposition dowr
in their platform, while the progress
i've platform declares specifically fol
it. Hence, the stalwarts stand com
mitted to a continuance of the spoils
system, while the progressives STAND
committed against the continuance OF
the spoils system, with a party recall
added. These are the issues.
The stalWarts with certain allied
interests are pursuing still hunt
campaign, ostensibly for come to
gether scheme under cover; while the
progressives will wage an open educa
tional campaign based on principles
and will try to smoke the stalwarts

Will Till the Soil.

Harry w. Conrad and Walter Will
iliams Of near Spook, S. D., were in
the city yesterday on business. They
came to the Hills country the first Of
the year from Waterloo, Iowa, and
went upon homesteads which they
are preparing to work this year. Mr..
Conrad was for years in the employ Of
the Illinois Central railway In the
machine shops and Williams was en-
gagged in newspaper work for several
years. Both are enthusiastic over
their new possessions and propose to
develop their land and see how much
the soil will produce. They are Of tbs
substantial sort which this county,
needs and have chosen wisely In thel
selection Of land, getting tracts that
are fertile and well adapted to agri-
culture and stock raising.

Sell Irvine at Home.

Sioux Falls Argus-L Leader: An Iowa
dealer has tried hard to buy some Of
the Irvine from the South Dakota
prison plant in this city and went 60
far as to say he would back a wagon
up to the prison door, pay the price
asked and haul it away, but Of course
was refused. The prison plant can
not make enough Irvine to fill the
South Dakota demand and hence the
state has none to sell outside Of iss
own borders. This will dispose Of the
story, circulated in Aurora, that .
Chicago mail order house was selling
this Irvine for three-fourths Of cent
less than the price asked In South
Dakota. There is no truth In there

Good Gold Strike is
Made at Jenny's Gulch

Considerable interests now centers
in the mining district known as Jenny's
Gulch, near Silver City, where good
strike has been made. The Home
Lode Mining Co. has double compart-
ment shaft down some fifty feet.
About two>weeks ago a four foot vein
of iron pyrites was struck, and samples
of the ore sent to the American Smelt-
ing Co. ofOmaha. The report return
ed showed that it's value is $3.50 per
ton, half in free gold and half in iron.
The company is now working on re-
port that will show the necessary kind
of a mill to extract the free gold and
concentrate the iron. AS soon as the
report is received work of erecting and
equipping mill will be taken up.
Specimens of the ore may be seen at
the office of A. A. Richards.

Much Benefit will

w StuS
The union meetings at Library hall
closed Sunday evening. In addition
to the regular chorus choir, there was
male quartette, composed of Messrs.
Bangs, Riyman, Trygstad and Van
Nuys, who sang excellently. Rev.
Holbrook spoke interestingly, earnest
ly and forcefully.
The meetings throughout have been
largely attended and deep interest
was manifested in the work. While
there was not great number of con-
verts it is believed the meetings have
awakened interest that will be bene-
fetal hereafter.
The meetings have been conducted
by the three ministers: Rev. Blod-
gett of the Baptist, Rev. Grim of the
Methodist, and Rev. Holbrook of the
Congregational church. They labored
faithfully throughout and to their eff
forts the success of the meetings is
due. Rev. Blodgett had charge of the
music and besides leading the chorus
sang several pleasing solos and took
his turn as speaker.
The financial part of the undertake
ing was carried out successfully, with
all obligations met. The donations
the opening night, the regular collec-
tions each Sunday night, and the do
nation of $40 in addition to the regu-
lar collection the closing night, were
sufficient without appealing to the
people to help.
During the time of the union meet
ings each pastor held services on Sun
day morning in his respective church
and the attendance at these exceeded
in numbers and interest similar SER
vices prior to the opening of the union
meetings; all Of which indicates that
the earnest words of the speakers
have awakened dormant interest in
the hearts of numerous Rapid City
people.
