The Passing Of the Old B. 4 o. Depot.
Workmen for the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Friday morning began to de-
molish what remains of the old freight
depot in Frederick, which has been re-
placed by new building in course of the
past several months. The work of de-
stroying the original building removes
from Frederick one of her Oldest land
marks and one which has been her pride
and her honor to show to visitors as the
oldest freight depot in America.
By the demolition of the old Baltimore
and Ohio freight depot, Frederick loses
an interesting landmark and relic of the
early days of railroading; but 1.-THE same
time it is relieved of a long-standing slur
upon it's commercial Importance. 1t
might have been we'll if way could
have been found to preserve the ancient
building as memento of Frederick s
early connection with railroading in this
country, and museum for the housing
of historical relics, but under the cir
cumstances this could hardly be arranged
and sentimental considerations in con-
nection with it's passing are outweighed
by satisfaction in the improved facilities
provided for handling freight and in the
fact that Frederick will no longer be ad-
vertised as a city for which facilities de-
signed for the handling of its business
nearly century ago were regarded by
the railroad company as still equal to its
needs. Post.

The Vanishing Range

Whitewood- with the passing of
the range and the adoption of the
herd law, many farmers who have
been deriving part of their living
from the range cattle business, must
turn their efforts into another source.
1t has long been recognized that the
herd law for the whole state was but
a question Of time, yet some OF the
old-time ranchers were loath to give
up the range as long as the last YES
tige of it survived, and chung to the
range cattle business as to other fast
vanishing customs Of the old-time
West. Now they are forced to change
and those in a position to know. de-
clare that it can but result in general
benefit to the country, for the small
farmer who works his land on the
intensive plan almost invariably gets
large profits and picks up the loose
ends.
Hot Spring-Dr. B. A. Wade, well
known in this section of the state for
years, is dead here, aged 81. DR..
Wade who was native of Virginia,
came here in 1892 and for some years
was urgeon here in the soldiers home.

Insane Over Range Law

Murdo-Driven insane by the con-
troversy as to whether there should
be a free range or closed range, a
young man named Frank Durek,
who for some time has resided
in this vicinity, was taken into GUS
today and ordeed sent to the insane
hospital at Yankton. He had been
acting Queeriy for soT11e time but die
not become violent Until recently,
when he attempted to enforce the an
ti-open range by shooting such stock
as he found running at large. This
stray stock was not injuring him, but
in his insane condition he decided to
take the law into his own hands.
When located and arrested he was
engaged in skinning a colt belonging
to homesteader in the vicinity, he
having shot and killed the colt only
a few minutes before.

New Telephone Taxation

Pierre-The telephone companies
doing business in South Dakota will
find themselves on a different tax
alton basis from this time on, I'M
der provisions of the new law fixing
the manner Of their assessment. Up
to the present taxes have been levied
against the telephone systems Of the
state at fiat rate equal to the aver
age assessment over the state, and
have run from &c mills to % mills an
nually on the valuation placed upon
the companies by the state board. But
from this time on the assessments
against such property will be local and
the companies will be called upon to
pay the same taxation rate upon their
property as do other property owners
in the different taxing districts in
which they operate. That is, in town
they will be taxed at just the same
rate as is other property in that town:
and in tie country districts, whatever
property they own within separate
taxing district will pay the same rates
as all other property in that district.

Homesteaders Ordered Back

Chamberlain - People who have
been living on lands in the west
ern part of the state and have proved
up and returned to their homes in this
section of the state, are commencing
to have trouble now nat they have
left their lands. In a half dozen cases
protests have been filed at the land
office at Rapid City on land which
has been proved up. The owners
haze been notifio d by the land office
that they will have to return to their
land at once, and follow certain re-
quirements in furthering their proof
In each instance those persons who
have proved up have had their money
returned by the land Office with the
command to return to their claims.
The owners are at a loss to know
the cause, nor are they able to aScer-
tain who is making the protest. In
several of the cases only the wives
completed the residence on the land,
and it is understood that the real
head of the house will have to live
on the land also.
