DEATH OF JUDGE TRIP

From 4ankton, his home, comes
information of the sudden death Of
Judge Bartlett Tripp, one of the most
prominent public men Of the old ter
ritory and the state. A few days be-
fore his death. he suffered mild
paralytic stroke, but had 30 far re-
covered that he was preparing to
leave for the West Indies, there to
spend the winter. Leaving the break
fast table Friday morning to open q
window, he fell to the floor dead.
Judge Tripp was president of the
first state constitutional convention,
held in 1888. From 1885 to 1899, he
was chief justice of Dakota territory,
under appointment by President
Cleveland. In 1898, President Gle ve-
land appointed him U S. minister to
Austria Hungary and he served four
years in that capacity. In 1889 he
was appointed by President McKin-.
ley member of the Samoan cOmmis-
sion to settle differences between the
United States, England and Germany
aad was chosen chairman by the
commission. 1t is a matter of HIS
tory that the work was we'll per-
formed.
Coming to the territory Of Dakota
in 1859, Judge Tripp was one of the
earliest settlers of the domain that
has since been carved into two states
and he bore we'll his part in the for.
native work that added two stars to
the national emblem.
Together with Judges Moody and
Bennett, with General Beadle as sec.
retary, he participated in the first
codilication of Dakota laws, laying
the foundation for the codes of today.
He was a graduate of Albany law
schoo! and was law lecturer at the
South Dakota university at the time
of his death. He leaves wife.

Davis, his only child, Mrs. g. H..
Dillon, having died a dozen years ago
He was about 70 years of age.

monwealth. He has performed we'll
his part as a builder for the genera
tions that are to come. He will live
in the memory OF the people of South

ROOSEVELT NOT IN 1T

Huron Huronite: Clifford Pinchot
brought to Chicago last Saturday the
information that Colonel Roosevelt
cannot be considered in the cacula-
tions of any party or faction in con-
nection with the presidential rlace
James r. Garfield, secretary of the
interior under Roosevelt, confirms
the statement made by Mr.. Pinchot.
These are the colonel's closest poll
tical and personal friends and they
have made it understood that they
are for Senator LaFollette for the
position of president of the United
States.
Mr.. Pinchot told the Chicago Tri-
bune that "the denomination of
President Taft has been placed be-
yond the bounds of political reason
ing. Continuing, the former chief
forester said: ''I do not 4ssers that
LaFollette is yet sure of the nomina-
ton, but now that circumstances
| have made Mr.. Taft's denomination
either impossible or extremely i'm
| probable, the attention of the coun-
try is turning swiftly and eagerly to
Bob LaFollette of Wisconsin,.
Mr.. Pinchot declared that there
was nothing left of the old parties
outside of their machinery, "buL q
history, habit and nlame' This
| is considered q concession to the new
party idea and Mr.. Pinchot mpha-
sized it with the prediction that those

CONGRESSMAN IN PROTEST

The fight which northern congress-
men are preparing to make on the in
terror department in the matter of
protested homestead proofs, is at
tracing great deal of attention in
the homestead section of the state.
While they may be prejudiced, the
papers, and settlers who are protest.
ed in that section complain that the
trouble to its greatest extent is with
the manner in which the government
agents carry on their work. They go
into neighborhood and inquire as to
settlement and improvement of
claims. They may call on John Sn ith
just after he has had a strenuous
time chasing bill Jones cattle out of
his corn for about the 'steenth time;
or when he has just returned from a
set-too with the aforesaid Bill Jones,
who has tied up his stock for trespas-
sing, and gets an opinion that Jones
has not made sufficient residence and
mprovements. The agent does not
go near Jones. he simply protests on
Smith s crouch. AT least that is the
way most of them out the situation,
and while it may be little bit strong
as to facts, it appears from the gener.
al conclusions that the procedure
runs too much along such lines. AZ
ter the protest, then the claimant is
given his chance with months of de-
lay, and heavy expense to show that
the Crouch was without foundation
fact the government agent himself
could have discovered within an hour
at no expense to the claimant, had he
cared to SO do. If the claims of the
local papers in the homestead coun
try. and of those who are protested
are half the showing they make some.
thing in the way of reform of depart.
ment methods should be demanded.

TEN CANDIDATES IN HILLS

Present indications point to a live

South Dakota. Candidates are spring
ing up almost daily and never before
have so many contestants shown their
hands at this stage. Ten are already
In the field with others feeling their
way.
In the third district, Congressman
Martin is opposed in his own party
by Judge G. G. Carpenter of Lennon
and DIR. Herman f. Ratte of Nisland,
both OF them progressives, while A.
I'll. Wheaton formerly state pure food
commissioner, is being groomed by
another set of progressives to enter
the race. On the democratic side
Harry l.. Candy of Wasta, former
state senator, and w. w. Soule of
Rapid City, who was candidate two
years ago, are expected to run.
The Hills has Its candidate for the
head of the state ticket in Judge Gull
of Rapid City, register of the land
office, who is out for governor, while
e. S. johnson, formerly of Rapid
City, is being urged to make the same
race for the democrats. For supreme
court judge, Judge Corson of Dead
wood has annouced his candidacy for
reelection and will be opposed by
Secretary of State Policy of Dead
wood, who will run on the LaFollette
ticket. AS yet there has been little
open aligning among the Black Hills
candidates with either the Taft Or
La Toilette tickets, but both s,alwart
and progressive leaders are doing
their preliminary figuring and it is
expected the issue in this part of the
state will be clean cut before the pr-
maries arrive.

THE GROWTH OF IRRIGATION

Ihe census report of 1910, on irriga-
ton, places the total irrigated terri
tory In South Dakota for that year at
POI ,6So acres, an increase from 63 200
acres in 1909. The increased inter,
est In irrigation caused by the dry
season OF 1911, has largely increased
the irrigated areaN since the 1910 cen
sus returns were secured, and the
acreage is now probably near 300, 600
for this state.
One feature of the irrigation figures
which Will be of more than ordinary
interest is that the annual cost per
acre for irrigation in South Dakota is
at 64 cents an acre, which is lower
than for any of the other western
states which engage at all extensive
ly in irrigation. Oklahoma is a few
cents lower but with only very
limited area under cultivation in this
manner. The annual cost in North
Dakota is put at S37S per acre
Washington at $30S; Wyoming at
6S cents, and Montana at 50 cents,
The average cost per acre for get
ting land under irrigation in the
northwest states is placed at SIS. 76,
With South Dakota standing at $23. 80
the lowest in any state being Nevada
at an average of 1913; and Arizona
highest at S45 53.
One of the features of irrigation in
this state from this time on will be
that of the small tracts on numerous
farms, on which water can be placed
at small expense either by storage
dams, or pumping from wells with
wind engines, such tracts to be used
principally for raising of vegetables.
This work was taken up by a num-
Der of land owners last summer when
the crop condition generally looked
bad, and the attention devoted to
these small garden spots under the
care which was given them has shown
the farmers who tried the experiment
that they have opportunities in that
line which will pay them we'll, and
each farm on which the plan was
tried last summer, practically by
forced conditions, is now a center of
such a farm garden plot, as part OF
the profitable crop factor on the farm

WILL BE A LOSS TO STATE

George Rice, who has served on the
board of railroad commissioners Of
this state for twelve years, has come
to the conclusion that he can no
longer afford to do SO, and he has SO
advised his friends, says the Dead
wood Telegram.
His retirement will be great loss
to the state. The experience he has
had during the troublous times with
railroad problems in recent years,
added to his training and ability as q
lawyer, have made his services ex-
tremely valuable. The very small
salary paid the railroad commission
ers of this state has been insufficient
compensation for such services as he
has rendered; and while the approval
OF his fellow citizens is some com
pensation, it is not legal tender for
the necessities of life. Mr.. Rice can
hardly be blamed for not wanting 20
give large part of his time for q
salary less than is paid competent
mechanics and clerks.
In view of the great interests in.
volved, this state should pay a salary
to it's railroad commissioners sufii-
| GENTLY large to command the entire
time of lawyers of considerable
ability. In comparison with other
states the present salary in this state
4 is beggarly, being only 1900. The
smallest amount paid in any other
state, SO far as can be learned, is
$4,000, and it ranges from this up
| to SIS, 900 in New York.
1t South Dakota expects to get and
keep men of the right calibre, true
to the public interests, on the board
of railroad commissioners, 1T must
realize the Importance of the office
and pay adequate compensation. The
1 retirement of Mr.. Rice will cause
much regret among those who have
noticed his able championship of the
| peoples rights.
