The school which l have the honor
to represent, and which is located at
this city, is being planned and con-

substantially constructed and equip

With the large area of land owned by
the school, and With it's natural ia
cilities and healthful location, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that it
will be an educational institution for
years to come. We have found in the
past that very friendly and cordial re-
the schools of the state. Our young
people have engaged in athletic con-
tests which have afforded each other
pleasant, and we believe. profitable
entertainment. We hope to continue
these very pleasant relations and to
meet with that same cordial feeling
and sympathy in the future that we
have observed in the past We shall
aim TO merit this consideration, and
w believe that our students will DEM

some years before we can be-

believe that students of the School OF
Mines and High School, both young

in this assertion.
In closing we invite the cityand state
schools to visit and inspect our work,

we may be considered a part of the
great educational system of the state
OF South Dakota.

hotel at Terry, owned by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. G. Hyde, owners and operators OF
the Hyde hotel of this city, was burn

I The citizens of Terry rallied to the
aid of the inmates of the hotel as
soon as the alarm was given, and
fought bravely, holding the blaze
back from surrounding buildings with
difficulty. Fortunately the guests at
the hotel were enabled to escape with
out serious harm. The manager of
the hotel. o. M. Arthur, was absent
from the city at the time of the fire.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyde are the heavy
losers in the fire, not only the building

(ay Associated Press]

WASHINGTON, Aug s-The bill
granting statehood to New Mexico and

many years been desired by the peo-
pie of those territories, was passed by
the senate tonight So to 18 after the
rejection of the Nelson amendment
which proposed striking out of the
Arizona constitution its judiciary re-
call provision.
The bill, as passed by the senate,
differes only slightly from the house
measure and it is said, may be un-
satisfactory to Taft. He has contend
ed all along that he would be glad
to sign the statehood bill If the Nelson
amendment prevailed, but that it was
a grave question whether he would
We willing to sign it if the amendment
was defeated as it was 43 to 26.
The indications tonight are that the
bill will become a law without his
signature. The bill as passed compels
Arizona as condition precedent to
entry in the Union, to submit the re-
call proposition to the voters for
final decision as to whether it shall
remain in their constitution. New
Mexico must vote on the proposition
embodied in the bill which would
make the constitution of that state
easier of amendment.

SHERMAN DECLARED
OUT Of The RACE

WASHINGTON Aug. 9.-Vice Pres
ident Sherman has by semi-public
utterance declared for high protection
and not in sympathy with the senti-
ment of President Taft nor his party
declarations on the tariff question.
The leaders now declare that the re-
nomination of Mr.. Sherman in 1912
as Taft's running mate is out of the
question. Mr.. Sherman in letter to
Wilbur F. Wakeman, manager of the
American Protective league, declares
himself opposed to the Canadian recl-
procity pact and in favor of high pro-
tective tariff. The claim is made that
the position of the vice president puts
him in opposition to the policies of
President Taft and eliminates him as
vice presidential possibility in the
next campaign.

TAFT Will VETO
STATEHOOD BILL
(By Associated prass)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-President
Taft will veto the New Mexico-Ariz-
ona statehood resolution as passed by
the senate last night. Democratic
leaders of both house and senate de-
clared today, however, that they could
marshal enough votes to pass the
measure over the veto. The president
has indicated some time ago that ne
would take this action unless the
Nelson amendment was adopted.
This amendment would have re-
quired the people of Arizona as a con-
dition Of statehood to vote down tho
proposition in their constitution for
recall of judges. Amendment was
defeated and the senate passed the
bill as it came from the house, simply
requiring that the vote be taken on

ASSAULTER Of TEACHER
GETS Term IN THE Pen

CANDO, N. D., Ang. S-Walter Rock
hold, charged with criminal assault
on the person of a pretty Plaza school
teacher last spring, was sentenced to
fifteen years in the penitentiary.
Rockhold applied for change of ven-
ue and his case was transferred to
Towner county, where Judge Burr
tried his case
The jury found him guilty and he
was given his sentence last night. The
crime was a dastardly one and created
quite a sensation at the time of it's
occurrence.
Rockford was the tramp whose as
sault on the pretty school teacher at
Plaza several months ago stirred the
northwestern portion of the state to
a high pitch.
Rockford admitted, under grueling
examination, that he had already serv-
ed one term in the state penitentiary
for the crime of forgery, being con-
victed two years ago in this county
under the name Of Bert Wilson. He
also admitted being drunkard and
an opium fiend
