Recently the boys have sheared the
college herd Of 105 head OF sheep.
Some of these boys never saw a sheep
before they came to college, but they
often do as neat a job Of shearing as
more experienced persons. These
boys do not use the old-fashioned
sheep shears, but a sheep shearing
machine, as shown in the Illustration,
such as is now used on nearly every
sheep ranch. OF course on the ranches
the shears are run by power which
is much cheaper than when two men
are required to operate them.
An expert shearer can not shear
many more sheep with a machine
than by hand, but the beginner has

i'll the Dakota terrier al days, IN
municipalities We're s anted spe ial
charters under which they arran ged
their local government. These char
tiers covered every phase OF local s Ii
government applicable to the times.
Since the admission of the territory
to the union as state, the cities and
towns have gradually cast aside their
old territorial charters until today hut
two cities in South Dakota remain,
which still use the instruments of
over a score of years ago. These two
cities are Watertown and Yanktou.
Among the privileges granted under
the special charters which are used
today by these two cities, is that of
| local option on the liquor question.
The question has been raised by at
| torneys as to whether or not the day
light saloon bill, passed by the senate
| yesterday, can be made applicable to
| these cities. The constitution of :he
state makes it plainly understood that
no municipal corporation shall be
granted any powers not applicable to
any other corporation. Many lawyers
hold that this provision would in
validate that section of special char
ter relating to the privilege of local
option, but it is admitted Their" is a
question about it. In any event it Is
not beyond the range of possibility
that the courts will be called upon tc

Picrre-The daylight saloon bill,
setting the closing hour Of all saloons
in the state at o'clock each evening,
passed the senate today by the de-
cisive vote of 50 to II. 1t carries the
emergency clause, and will become a
law as soon as Governor r.. S. Nessey
attaches his signature.
An effort Was ssde by Wyman to
strike out the emergency clause. he
contending that a license with man
who is at present engaged in the sa-
loon business is q contract, ami can
not be violated. Collins and Lockhart
spoke in favor of the emergency clause
Those who opposed the bill did not
put up very strong fight because
they could plainly see that the large
majority of the upper house was in
favor of the bill
That the governor will sign the bill
within a short time is almost a GER
tainty.
BY q vote of 80 to IA the senate yes
terday adopted the majority report OF
the temperance committee on the
Daylight saloon bill. The report of
the minority favoring a ten O'Clock
closing and what is now known as
the Glassner amendment, providing
for the closing time to be determined
by local option were voted down.
Senators Collins and Fleeger We're
the defenders of the majority report
on the floor The latter made strong
address but the former spoiled the eff
| feet of his own talk by getting mixed
on county and local option, and thus
argued inadvertently against his own
proposition. Senator Candy made a
brilliant address in favor of the OF
tional closing feaure. but the flnai
vote showed All easy victory for the
measure as it stands.

An Attorneys Opinion

Sioux Falls--An attorney OF this
city. who has given some considerable
attention to the legislative measure
known as the Daylight saloon bill
which provides for the closing of sa-
looms in South Dakota at 8 O'Clock at
night, said:
Il have no doubt that the governor
will sign it.
Il do not believe, however, that the

ion, just what the enforcement of this

selling liquor under a contract with
South Dakota and that contract holds
good until the first day of July, next,

licenses are effective.

The isegaard Primary


Representative Negaard's primary
bill (H b. No. 237) is in many re-
spects similar to the Richards propo-
sition But ii also contains some
features that were doubtless never
conceived in the mind of mortal mani
before.
One is that the newspapers OF a
county shall compete at the June pri-
mary for the position of official paper
OF the county. The paper winning out
by vote of the people will have all
the county printing. but regardless OF.
location, the favored paper must come
out of and bear the name of the coun-
ty seat. Provision is also made that
no newspaper shall expcnd sum to
exceed 5000 for campaign expenses.
This latter notation was hardly neces-
sary.
Another feature is that any party
getting FIVE per cent vote is entitled
to one delegate in either branch of the
legislature. He is to receive the same
salary as member and to be selected
by the committee of his party. His
authority would be limited to the In
PRODUCTION OF not more than two bills,
and the privilege OF speech in the
chamber but he could not vote.
