Others Not Effected

Much oncern has been shown by
many papers of the state lest the de-
cision just rendered by the supreme
court will work CONSERVATION in
many of the other counties where
county seats have been established
in much the same way as was done
in organizing Lincoln county.
There is absolutely no ground for
any such fear. A careful reading
of the opinion by Justice Holloway
not only shows that there is no
foundation whatever for any such
fear, but shows particularly by his
torical review of the acts creating
our several counties since the adop-
ton of our state constitution, that
all possibility of such trouble is
avoided.
In none of the other counties, in
the act creating them where there
was a clause regarding the loca-
ting of the permanent county seat
similar to the one in the Lincoln
county bill, did the election turn
out as it did in Lincoln county. AT
the special election held in such
counties. the place named as county
seat by the legislature was salected
by a majority of the voters as the
permanent county seat. So the
question raised and just o set
tied in the Lincoln county case
could not possibly be raised and
cannot now be raised in any OF
them.-Troy Herald.

Objection is being made III some

90 closely draws the line of polit.

opinion that is the strongest feature
of the bill. Why should a consist

ground? Why should a consistent
republican object to 1t on that
ground? In Minnesota, this writer's
former home, party declaration is
not required and the result has been
political chaos. In the primaries
the members of one party go to the
polls and vote for candidates OF OPP
posing political persuasion who are
manifestly weak candidates. Their

Felicitation over the fail
ure of other sections is an i'm
pulse worthy only Of a prim-
tive people. 1t should not
be a consolation to us to read
that South Dakota, Kansas,
Oklahoma and other grain
growing states are drought
stricken and facing almost
total crop failure. Crop
failure over any considerable
area always effects national
prosperity. And when ma
tional prosperity is effected
every part of the nation is
effected to a greater or lesser
degree. Then again, there
is no danger of over-produc-
ton of grain in the United
States this or any other year.
as. J. Hill and other far
seeing men have raised a
warning cry about the dam
ger of under-production in
the United States. So real
ly ii is Of no advantage to
this section, that seems SO
generously favored this year,
to have other sections suffer-
ing from extreme drought.
But in a sense this section of
the West is indicated. 1t
has always been looked upon
as a sort of desert waste.
Geographers, following each
other in the beaten rut of lg-
norance, have included this
section in the "Great Amer
lean Desert" Scientific men
like Campbell and Shaw have
come into this land and have
repudiated the loose state
ments of these geographers.
But the legend still sticks in
some quarters. This year
this american Desert OF

ers is blessed with an abun-
dance of rain. Rank grass il

The vein heretofore worked upon is only stringer leading to the big ledge broken into. This big "mother lode* dips the opposite direction from the one that has been followed heretofore and now puts the management to tigur- iug "where they are at."
