The Mitchell Corn Show

Mitchell-Now hat South Dakota
is becoming a corn state, having pro-
duced about 100000 bushels OF
corn the past season, interest Is being
taken in the fourth annual state corn
show, which will be held at Mitchell
commencing Jan. IT n continuing
until the 22nd inst.
It Is expected Governor Eberhart or
Minnesota will make an address. 9th
ers who have been invited are Profess
sor Crossley of the Iowa Agricultural
college at Ames and Professor Holden
the famous Iowa corn expert.
The seed corn situation in South
Dakota is somewhat critical because
of the hard frost coming so early In
the season. On this account 1t Is
pointed out that the Germ schooi
should be attended by every corn
grower in the state, and, in fact, by
every one who is interested In seed
corn.
The school will be in charge OF
Professor Willis of the South Dakota
Agricultural college, He will be as
sisted by corn experts from within
the state and from other states of the
west and northwest.
BY dividing the state into these dis
tracts every one who raises fine corn
stands an equal chance with other
competitors to capture some OF the
premiums.

a number of murder cases among

Lehman after being convicted three
times, expiated his crime on the gall

of South Dakota as a state. Bad Elk
was convicted, but cheated the gallows
by dying in jail. Good shot vas sen

Mr.. Porter's success has not been
confined to his efforts on behalf of
the prosecution. He defended John
Taylor, John Sellers and Horace Croft

for murder / nthe first degree. Tay-
lor was fortunate enough to get off
with a comparatively short term of
imprisonment, n Sellers and Croft
ford were ~severally acquitted.
Having served the public for over
sixteen years, Mr.. Porter believes that
he has contributed his full share to
public duty, n feels that he ought
to no longer sacrifice a remunerative
private practice, which has grown to
such an extent. and that he could not
give it his prope attention If his time
were divided between it and the office

His resignation is to be regretted, for
he filled his public duties faithfully

The Oldest Postmaster

Valley Springs-The many friends
of Postmaster Holden ID. Kinyon here
think that he holds the record for
the longest continuous term of service
as postmaster in the state. He was ap-
pointed on March 4, 1890 and t.as
served continuously under the Har-
rison, Cleveland, Mckinley and Roose-
welt administrations, and there does
not seem to be any reason why ne
should not serve through the a
administration. His commission was
signed by John Wanamaker, postmas-
ter-general under President Harrison
With the exception of a few brief
days of vacation, Mr.. Kinyon has put
in an average Of twelve hours a day In
the office and his record for long SER
vice Is equalled only by his faithful
ness and honesty as a government
employe.

Gold Production in the State for 1909
The state of Washington has been
producing recently not over $780,
0e0 in gold annually. $4,000 to 9o.-
1000 fine ounces of silver, 100000 to
400, pounds OF copper, and 100000
pounds of lead There has been lit
tie variation from these figures for
several years, though it Is expected
that the output for 1909 will make
a much better showing, mainly ow-
ing to an increased yield from the
Republic district. There are about
so or 70 productive mines in the
state, most of them being deep
mines. Stevens county Is the largest
producer of gold, silver, copper and
lead, more than half of the gold of
the state coming from that county
alone The silver, copper, and lead
output Of Washington seems to be
slightly on the increase. Some fall
ing off has been apparent in gold,
but the amount has not been large.
Ferry, King and Stevens counties are
increasing their gold output, but
others are showing a decrease. The
area of greatest possibilities lies in
the Republic district, where a num-
Der of mines have recently been re-
opened. The amount of gold from
double the yield in 1908.
The director of the mint estimates
the gold production of Washington
at $377,90O in 1909, against $685.
700 in 1908, and the silver output
at 1880 fine ounces in 1909, against

pone consideration OF river and
harbor bill, but in view Of the Pres
i ident's recommendations in his spe-
cial message to congress, cannot
believe there is any foundation fol
| the rumors."
Senator Lorimer of Illinois, a
member Of the United States water
ways commission and when a mem
Der of the house, held ranking
place on the rivers ana harbors COM
mittee, expressed the opinion that
| IL a business-like bill for river and
harbor improvements passes the
house, as every indication points
that it will, its consideration by the
senate could not be postponed, for
the commercial interests of the coun-
try would demand its passage, and
make that demand felt.
Senators may have ideas as to
the amount the bill should carry,
and in what manner the appropria-
lions should be made for river and
harbor work, but they cannot fail
to recognize the almost universal de-
mani for a river and harbor bill
that will be comprehensive in char
acter."
Some criticism is heard OF the
features Of the bill now receiving its
final touches in the house commit
tee on rivers and harbors, particu-
larly with reference to fixing time
limit for the completion of certain
projects. And yet If this policy be
not adopted the old handicap will
continue to exist and delays inciden-
tai to unbusiness-like treatment OF
waterway improvements will oper-
ate to that particular projects dis
advantage.
Among the notable examples OF
how the old policy Of piece-meal ap-
preparations worked, is the Ohio riv-
err project. In thirty-three years but
one-fith of the project is completed
and if these old fogy methods are
to continue it's completion will be
ACCOMPLISHED in about 2010. The
committee now engaged in the pre-
paration Of a river and harbor bill
proposes to fix a time when the
Ohio river shall be completed, say
in twelve years and working to that
end will appropriate enough money
for the first years work. That
would seem to be getting down to
business.

TO POSTPONE LEGISLATION
FOR SALE OF COAL DEPOSITS

Washington, Feb. flames Wick

coal reserve in Alaska, comprising
$4,000 acres, the primary specified
purpose being to reserve the coal for
naval use.
Senator Paynter of Maryland re-
signed today as member of the Bal

ator Money of Mississippi, chairman
of the democratic caucus, has asked
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon to ac-
cept appointment in his stead, Cram
berlain will decide today. Senator
Paynter pleads illness, but it is be-
lieved he desires TO give away to a
man from the Pasific Northwest who
knows Ballinger and is familiar with
conditions in Alaska and with polit-
ical affairs on the Pacific coast.
Chamberlain, formerly governor OF
Oregon, is a stalwart radical of the
non-partisan type. He Is a native OF
Mississippi and close friend of Sen
ator Money.
Ballinger's Partisans strongly op-
pose the appointment of Chamberlain,
but it is believed that ne will accept.
Washington, Feb. 2.-There will
be no Alaska coal lands legislation
this winter, or until the whole mat
ter has been threshed out and all
philippians" in the woddpile are ex-
posed to view.
This proposition made public today
by persons working for the leasing
instead of the selling of the Alaska
coal lands, is the signal for another
furious contest, which will involve
Pacific coast politics and bring to
light some startling facts.
1t was stated today that the nation
al capital now harbors the advance
guard of a powerful lobby which
wants congress to enact law to sell
the Alaska coal lands; that leading
this lobby are former Senator George
Turner, of Spokane, and Oscar G. La
bare, a French Canadian, who dep
resents Canadian stockholders in the
Alaska Central railroad.
Turner is representing the Gug-
genheims and is retained as counsel
at $4,000 a year.
This lobby is working in every way
possible.
Former Governor NcGraw. Of Seat
tie, has Joined the Turner lobby and
is working to discredit the plan to
lease the coal lands.
This Is the lobby for which Napor
Richardson, Alaska road commission
er, has been laboring.
Those who favor the leasing plan
claim that the people ought to allow
no legislation at this time. lest graver

Spokane's New Daily.

Spokane's new newspaper, the In
land Herald, daily and Sunday, will
publish the first issue on February
Sth.
The publication offices will be in
the Auditorium building, the Inland
Herald having secured the corner OF
Post street and Main avenue.
The Inland Herald has been thor
oughly equipped with the most mod
ern machinery that money could buy
including a large battery OF the lat
est type of linotype machines and
up-to-date Hoe presses with inn
proved color attachments and ster-
eotyping machinery.
The editorial force is probably of
the highest class and the highest
salaried of any ever got together
anywhere by any paper, with the
exceptions of the Hearst papers and
the Munsey papers.
In addition to the best known
Spokane writer's, the Inland Herald
has drafted others from San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Salt
Lake, Portland, Seattle, st. Paul.
Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Bos-
ton, Columbus, o., Cincinnati, New
York, st. Louis, Memphis, Tenn,
and Dallas, Tex.
The color presses probably will
not be in full working order for
nearly six weeks, as it will take
about this time to erect them.
In addition to full leased wire re-
ports, special telegraphic services
will be received from the Chicago
Tribune and the New York Herald.

Friends AstOunded.
Friends OF former Senator Turner
of Spokane express establishment that
he would, for any consideration serve
the Guggenheims as lobbyist, such
a position being so inconsistent with
his former radical views. His alleged
salary of $1,000 a month is said by
his friends to be a very cheap price
for such a sacrIffce.
Developments of the gravest i'm
portance may confidently be ex-
pected.
SOutherners Alarmed.
The national capital is now seeth-
ing with activity. The southern dele
cation in congress have paused sud
denly in their program of compromise
and swapping of votes with republi-
cans because of fierce attacks upon
such course by Southern newspapers
led by the Louisville Courier-Journal
Henry Watterson, editor of that paper
in a series of signed editorials
charges the compromise democrats
with treason of the blacklist character
and demands that they be retired
from Office. The onslaughts of the
powerful Southern newspaper upon
the president, the republican regulars
and their democratic allies, have ere
ated a profound impression upon al
of the statesmen for the South, fol
they realize that Watterson is likely
to tour the country personally and
denounce them in their own states.
Watterson has proclaimed in ad.
vance his refusal to be considered as
a candidate for president in 1912.
