later by the state superintendent Of
education, ]. E. Swearingen, this is
satisfactory to the publishers.
The meeting was called to consider
an objection raised by the publishers
on the contract conditions on ex-
change prices, and it was stated by
the state superintendent of educa-
ton that several notifications were
submitted to the board but declined.
1t will be recalled that a protest was
made by the b. F. Johnson company
along similar lines some time ago,
but the board refused to consider the
protest Just what action the book
companies will take is not yet, known,
but as the contract will go into effect
in day or two and the schools open
shortly afterward 1t is important that
some settlement be made at once.
The following minutes of the meeting
were made public by Mr.. Swearingen:

FIGHT SWITCHED TO CANADA

With the passage of the Canadian
reciprocity bill By the United States
congress the political forces which
tried to kill the measure in Washing
ton have transferred their activity to
Canada, and they are now telling the
Canadian farmer that he will be
ruined if the agreement with the
United States is fully entered into.
The opponents insist that the gov.
eminent program will be blocked at
every point. The opponents of the
bill would like to force a general cleo
ton with reciprocity as the para
mount issue. There is chance that
they may be able to do so, although
the liberal leaders will fight to the
last ditch to avoid this because they
want to keep faith with President
Taft to have the present parliament
pass the bill.

TIE MONDAY MORNING BLAZE

Crystal Ice Company.

Fire, of unknown origin, reduced to
ashes all the belongings of the Crystal
Ice company; of which E. G. Kindley,

We're the owners.
The fire which carried to destruc-
ton the above plant, constructed last
fall at q cost of 1900, was first dis
covered by the engineer Of the inconl-
ing passenger train, due in Pierre at
$50. He sounded the alarm, and the
local fire laddies responded promptly.
The first hremen to arrive at the scene
OF the burning buildings did not carry
sufficient hose to reach the FIRE from
the hydrant, the buildings being out
side the water system, and when adj
ditional hose was secured the fire had
licked up d greater portion OF the
properties of the company.
The company had on hand large
amount OF ice, and had contracted to
Immediately ship to points east many
carloads. Efforts were made to save
the ice remaining, but it was judged to
be OF little value, except for refrigera-
tor purposes.
Loss is partially covered by insur-
ance, $1,000 being the amount carried.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION

Manifest destiny has saidit. Had Cana
da in 1776 been peopled by English
men she would have joined the thirteen
colonies in the revolt against England,
and haYe been included with us in the
peace treaty of 1882. But Canada had
been coded by France to England only
about dozen years before the Begin
ming of our revolution, and her French
population cared less for political liber-
ty than it did for the special privileges
which George LII. allowed to its church.
which would have been denied in any
scheme which the thirteen colonies
would set up. Therefore Canada chung
to England. Had our authorities at
Washington granted the recognition to
Aston on the Pacific coast during the
war of 1872 which he asked, and which
he had right to expect, or had they
extended tc him the protection i I'M
lately afterward which he sought, we.
could have obtained the whole of the
present British Columbia peacefully,
and probably the rest of Canada would
long before this time, have asked for
annexation. In either case Canada's
present population of 1850, 900 would
probably have been at least 10000 by
this time. and Montreal and Toronto
would be in the class with Boston and
st. Louis. But there is still prospect
that the mistakes of the olden day will
DO corrected amicably, and that the
stars and stripes will float all over the
continent of North America, with Hud-
sons bay as the nations center.

GOOD MAN GONE
James Philip Expired at His Home Early
Sunday Morning Due to Apoplexy.

James Philip, known as "Scotty"
Philip, noted cattleman and the
owner of a large buffalo herd, died at
his home at Fort Pierre early Sunday
morning as the result of the bursting
of blood vessel in the brain.
Mr.. Philip had been sick for some
time, but was on the streets Saturday.
He was SO years of age.
James Philip was born in Scotland, ,
IN Morayshire, April 30, 1858. and
| early became dependent on his own
resources. In 1874, at the age of six
teen, he came to America, and secur-
ed employment as herder near
Cheyenne, Wyo. In 1875 he came to
the Black Hills, where he passed the
winter with a company of prospee-
tors. He returned to Wyoming and
for time was employed as govern
ment teamster at Fort Laramie,
remaining there until 1877, when he
went to work as a cowboy at Fort
Robinson, Neb. In 1891 he located in
Stanley county, where he has since
resided, becoming one of the largest
cattle owners in the state. He had a
| 10000 acre ranch in Stanley county,
and in addition to his herds of cattle,
possessed what is said to be the
largest herd of buffalo in existence.
Mr.. Philip had represented the
Stanley county district in the state
senate, being elected as democrat.
| He also served as a member of tie
board of county commissioners of
that county. He was prominent in
| Masonic affairs, being thirty second
degree Mason and knight Templar.
| The town of Philip was named after
him. He carried life insurance poll
cies aggregating 500, 900, reputed to
| be the largest life insurance held by
any individual in the state. Though
dead, James Philip will live long in
| the memory of acquaintance at home
and abroad.
James Philip was one of the strong
men, financially speaking, in central
South Dakota; he was a generous
man, and during mis- lifetime he lent
assistance to settlers, without gain
to hjmself. He is survived by wife,
two sons and three daughters.
| Funeral and burial services took
place yesterday from his ranch home,
and the same were under the direction
| of the Masonic order.

BILL PASSED IN SENATE

Washington, July 22aa.-The reci-
procity bill passed the senate by a
vote of So to u. All the amendments
were voted down and the bill passed
the senate in the same form as it went
through the house. Three democrats
and twenty-four republicans voted
against the bill. Both South Dakota
senator's, both NorthDakota senator's,
both Minnesota senators and both
Iowa senators voted against the bill.
Both Nebraska senators voted for it.
There are ninety-one senators of
the United States. Fifty one are re-
publicans and forty are democrats
There is one vacancy, from Col orado.
OF the ninetyone senator's, eighty
voted on the reciprocity treaty today,
and eleven were absent or paired.
While the press report does not give
the party lineup for the bill, the fact
that twenty-four republicans voted
against the measure indicates that
the majority of the republican sena-
tors present and voting opposed the
measure. This makes it certainty
that the bill passed the senate only
because of the democratic vote in ia
