NEW COMMISSIONERS
TAKE OFFICE OATH

1t is Commissioners Petit and
Weeks now.
Both took the oath of office
yesterday afternoon after the
council had canvassed, the vote
and adopted the resolution for
the issuing of certificates Of cleo
ton.
Freeland and Woods thought
they ought to have certificates
also but the city attorney said
they did not need any as they
were already in and had not been
put out. Then Lawson wanted to
move that the new commission
ers be notified to take the oath
Of office at 3 o'clock today.
Roys was for this too. He
said they wanted time to fix UP
their work ready to turn it over.
The idea OF deposed officials
trying to dictate to the new men
when they should take the oath
of office struck the crowd in the
room as decided innovation.
Mayor Seymour was inclined to
think 1t all right too and asked
Mr.. Petit, who happened to be
In the room whether O'Clock to-
day would be all right.
II understand that am elig-
ible to take oath as soon as the
council finishes this canvass of
the votes and my certificate is
issued" said Mr.. Petit giving no.

/ Dakotan will-after giving the
matter a little thoughtful consider
ton arrive at the conclusion that
! few of the people of this mundane
sphere have rs much cause for
gratefulness and gratitude as have
the inhabitants of South Dakota.
South Dakota has The repGtation
of being one of tire most healthy
states in the union. 1t affords
much pleasure to breathe It's pure
fresh air. enjoy its beautiful sun
shine and wander at will across its
broad prairieS. 1t has the best ed
ucationa system Of any OF the
western states, and its percentage
Of poverty stricken people Is at the
minimum, pO0rhouses Mt being a
part of the states pabi!c lnstltu-
tions. Thus, failure of grain
crops is trihing matter wien
compared with the other great le-
sources of the state.
Added to these many reasons for
thankfulness. we should feel az
prociative Of the fact that we live
in a state so prolific Of great pos
sibilities and future advancement.
We should not lose sight OF the
fact that the state-especially that
section contiguous to and lncIud-
inc Mobridge has not yet com
menced to develop in true sense.
We are yet in our infancy, so to
speak, and future years will unfold
our importance in the production
of the wealth Of the great state OF
South Dakota.
Let us consider the things men
toned herewith for an hour or two
next Thursday, and extend our
thanks in accordance with the de-
cision reached upon deliberate con-
sideration Of the many blessings
which have been bestowed upon us
during the year just drawing to a

that most sections of the state

the state in most cases have raised
fine herds of cattle, horses, hogs,
sheep, poultry and other live stock,

THE CREAMERY QUESTION.

The News observes that in Il
number OF sections of North and
South Dakota especially west of
the Missouri riyer-the people and
newspapers are agitating the ques
ton o. establishing cooperative
creameries. Ii is a generally con
ceded fact that creamery is one
of the best business institutions
that any community can have, but
to be successful they must be con-
Quoted on different principles than
has been the case in the past On
two or more occasions during the
past twenty five years the cream
cry and dairy business has taken
on a grea5 impetus in the Dakotas,
and in ali instances under circum-
stances similar 70 present condi
tionS.
To be explicit, whenever there is
a short grain crop, the people
seem to come to a realization OF
/ the fact that Il creamery will save
/ the farmers Of the community from
/ financial ruin, aud steps are usu-
ally taken to organize and operate
creamerieS on the cooperative
plan. This was eXemplifed Ia the
case of King sbury county some
fifteen yea ago. Two or three
crop failures brought people to
their senses, and five creamerieS
were organized and all were in full
operation wi hin few months.
They were well patronized from
the start and in very snort time
kingsbury county won the title of
the Banner Cream County Of the
State, its output of creamery
products exceeding that of all the
other counties in the state COM
bined. The people patronized the
creameries for two or three years,
with the result that they prosper
ed financially and the county soon
became recognized as one of the
best in the state; land values ad-
vanced, new buildings were con-
structed on the farms, the business
men in the towns enjoyed an in
creased trade and general prosper
ity held full sway.
But things changed. The good
crop years returned and the peo-
pie began to neglect the cream
cries, devoting practically all their
attention 10 the raising of wheat
and other grains. This kind of
farming took up less of their time
and the returns were larger.
Kingsbury county is today one of
the wealthiest counties in the
state, and it owes its present con-
ditiOn to the creamery industry.
The creameries saved the county
at n time when grain crops could
not be successfully raised.
This instance alone demonstrates
the value of a creamery, and The
News would suggest that in the
event of the establishment of
creameries in the new territory
west of the Missouri river, that the
patrons keep them in operation.
While grain culture is all right,
the work on the farm should be
diversified, and in the event of
crop failure there is a never fail
ing source of revenue from the
