STR EET WORK
What Shall he Done in this Line
in Mineral Point During
1912?
1T is TIME TO DECIDE
Other Towns Throughout Wiscon-
sin Are Laying Out Their
Wnrk

From newspapers which come to this
Office it appears that some towns in the
state are taking the necessary prelimi-
nary steps towards laying out their
work in the line OF street improvements
for next year. If any well directed
work is to be done in Mineral Point
it cannot be taken up and discuss too
soon. Some of the streets, especially
on steep grades, will urgently demand
attention before another year rolls
around. 1t would be an awful waste
of money to repair these streets i'll the
old way of covering them with loose
crushed stone, without at least rolling
it in with road roller. y great deal
of good work was done here the past
year in the way of bound macadam
pavement. But all must admit that it
would have been better to have started
the work earlier in the season. The
first move was made in March, and the
work was taken up and pushed with all
convenient speed, but in due course of
law it was nearly the III ddle of August
before a start in the real work of paw
ing could be made. That the work has
been done and nearly all paid for with
out an increase in the general tax levy
ought to encourage the doing of similar
work on other streets of the town.
A notion prevails that common coun
ellis generally take the initiative in
matters of public improvements. But
this is a mistake. 1t is generally some
public spirited private citizens who
start an agitation and appeal to the
council and get favorable action.
Last fall when the road roller was
doing good work on the streets of the
town it was the unanimous opinion of
of all citizens who expressed them
selves. that Mineral Point certainly
own such a machine. But no provision
has as yet been made for the purchase
of roller. If few citizens had at
tended regular meeting of the council
and asked for favorable action that
very necessary implement in road max
ing, steam roller. might now be in
sight.
1t rests with the people whether the
town. having made a good start, will
go backward or forward in street work.

.EGAN AGAIN IN THE ARENA
That He Will Again Enter
the GubernatOria1 Fight.

The principal feature in South Dakota
politics last week was the effort on the
part of County Auditor Howe of Mime
haha county to turn the annual meeting
of the county auditors at Pierre into an
Egan ratification meeting; but his
enthusiasm could not carry him very
far when he went against the decided
GOODNESS of his colleagues.
Auditor Howe also went to Pierre as
an advocate of full cash value for
assessment purposes in the state, and
while the constitution of the state
demands it, and many of the auditors
felt there was merit in his contention,
his letter CAD made them ''gunshv' of
anything coming from him. This in
part prompted the auditors to indorse
almost unanimously continuation of
the methods of assessment which have
been followed since statehood
Egan's Fight Not Hopeless.
The feeling appears to be gaining
making hopeless fight in his ambition
to sit in the governors office: The gen.
orally expressed sentiment appears to
be that unless the two republican fac
lions of the state get together to boost
one ticket in the next primary, and get
together on plan Of concessins on both
sides, and actual instead of theoretical
harmony, Egan will be winner.
Some of the "wise ones" even go so
far as to say that Egan can make a
close race with only himself and one
other candidate for governor on the
republican candidate for governor on
the primary ballot; but in that they are
conceding more than the average stud
ent of South Dakota politics is willing
to concede. That he will be winner
between two contending factions is GER
tain.
About the only new candidate to be
sprung among the possibilities is w. H.
McMasters, banker at Gayville.
Yankton county, who took the measure
of the treasurer's chair while in Pierre
last winter as house member from
Yankton, and thinks that it would be
just his size. Then there is P. w.
Peterson, of Clay, who has been at the
head of the house railway committee
for two sessions, who feels that his
experience would be valuable as men,
Der of the state railway commission,
and is being accused of having ambi-
tions in that direction.
President Nash Mentioned.
When it comes to selecting a gov
ernor, if there is to be only one instead
of two fractional candidates, the ques-
ton will be to find man on whom both
sides can unite. To do this, any of the
old time leaders of either faction would
hardly be accepted by those of the other
faction. There is feeling that Geo.
w. Nash, at the head of the Aberdeen
normal school, would make a good
selection, and the friends of Loomis L.
Gull. of Rapid City, say he has not
made himself obnoxious to either fac
ton by pernicious activity. and that to
go to the western half of the state for
a candidate would be good thing.
