MORE TOGAS DEMANDED
BY NEW DAKOTA COUNTIES

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 30-The state CON
~stitution provides that at the first leg
islative session after a state national
census, and at no other time, the legis-
lature hi apportton it's membership
on a basis of population. The figures
shal be ready by the first of next year
to allow the legislative members to get
busy. OF course the Legislature has not
at all times needed the mandate of the
constitution in regard to reapportiOn-
ment, but 1t always at least has made
an attempt.
In the coming session there will be a
new element in the increased popuIa-
ton in the western half Of the state.
Under present conditions it requires a
greater population west of the river
for one senator than it does for two
senators in some of the eastern coun-
ties. Stanley and Lyman as one dis
trict west of the river have about 5000
votes, n get M senator. M~innehaha
n Brown counties, both with the
same vote, or lighter vote, get two
each. The constitutional limit, IS
senators, has been reached. and the
only way the western counties can get
increase is by the policy of extraction
from the eastern counties. Under the
conditions it rests with the WeSterners
to find some way in which to force
the fasteners to share with them with
more equality the senatorial represent
tatiOn.

COMMISSION WILL HEAR
ARGUMENT ON RATES

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 30.-The late of
october 10 has been set as a date for
hearing before the Interstate Com
merce commission in regard to the
complaint made by the South Dakota
board of railroad commissioners
against the increased rates on freight
transportation. A hearing will be held
at Lennox on October &c, in regard to
a connecting track between the Great
Northern and Milwaukee railroads at
that point, which has been petitioned
Tor. In the hearing held at Oral by the
commission regarding the necessity of
permanent depot and agent. no decision
was rendered pending the introduction
of further evidence, which, must be
tabulated. The orders issued to the
Chicago and Northwestern railway for
q permanent depot and agent at the
town of Vayland and to the Great
Northern railway for a temporary de-
pot and agent at Osceola, to be fol-
lowed by the installation of a perma-
nent depot within n year, have been
complied with as far as necessary at
this time.
The commission will investigate the
complaints which have come from
Gregory and Montrose against tele-
phone companies, and also complaints
from the various towns west from
Condo on the Minneapolis and st.
Louis railway based on a rumor that
the Minneapolis and st. Louis is to
discontinue the train running west

ability to accurately forecast the
weather for ~ months IN advance.
Charles Seidler, a farmer Of this vi
cinity. has a desire to capitalize his
talents. He will make application to.
the government for a job as mead
weather ~forecaster and if disappointed
in this particular he may try to estab-
fish an independent concern.
The confidence felt and expressed by
Seidler on the subject Of weather fore

his neighbors, nj it is their urging
that has brought him to think he
should make a national weather fig
lure of himself. 1t is stated hat the
detailed accuracy of Soldiers weather
predictions is a matter of Preside lore
in the vicinity where he resides. and
many wonderful stories are in circu-

ECCENTRIC HERMIT LIVES
IN ABANDONED TUNNEL

Mystic, S. D., Sept. 30.-An old man
known as Dutch Henry who for
many years has been one of the queer
est characters of his portion of the
Black Hills, has had it plainly demon
strated to him that he must not live
in a house or cabin. For years he made
his home in q tunnel in Lookout noun
tain, on Castle creek. Recently he
built a cabin, purchased some furni-
ture and comfortable bedding and pre-
pared to live in civilized fashion. But
he was not to be left unmolested in his
new home, for the other day it caught
fire from the stove pipe and was de-
stroyed. To add to the misfortune OF
the old man the flames were communi-
Gated to the surrounding forest, and
In a short time q small forest fire was
In full swing. The frightened man has
tened to Mystic to inform the forest
reserve rangers what had occurred, so
they could proceed to the scene and put
out the fire. Then the old man disap-
ipeared and not a trace of him has since
been seen. 1t is probable that he has
again taken refuge in some abandoned
tunnel and will maintain it as his habi-
ttation until he crosses the divide"

LEAD CITY UNDERMINED
BY HOMESTAKE CAVEiN

Deadwood. S. D., Sept. 2S.--The firing
OF q blast at the S00-foot level of the
Homestakc mine at Lead, s.. D., yester-
day started a cape-jn which came to
the surface, making a hole in the heart
of the city Is feet wide and 40 feet
long. When the dust had cleared
away the Bertolero boarding house
was seen hanging q the edge of the
srevice and the Campbell hotels back
steps led into it.
Fright among the residents of Lead,
most of whom live above similar
caverns. was allayed somewhat by as
surances from mining officials that
here was no danger of farther cave
ms.
The Homestake has hundreds of
miles OF tunnels under the city, and the
slopes form immense caverns. reaching
in the upper. levels well toward the
surface.
