State Scientists Examining Formations
at Wind Cave.
Several members of the faculty of
the State University at Vermillion are
examining the geology and biology of
this section. The personnel consists
of Dean Perisho, geologist; 8. 8. Visher,
assistant geologist; r. w. Cheney,
photographer, and A. B. Helms, general
utility.
They have spent considerable time at
Wind Cave. They believe this mighty
cavern formed millions of years ago by
the action of subteranean waters, and
perhaps before the bills we're pushed
up to their present contour. They will
next go to the Pine Ridge reservation
to make observations on plant and
animal life.

RENEW THE WAR VIGOROUSLY

Ell Paso, Texas, March 21.-Opin,
ions among Mexican insurrecto lead
ers today over the overthrow of Senior
Limantour we're about equally divid-
ed between keen disappointment and
the hope that Limantour still has
plans in his head which he has not
been at liberty to make public.
While the views of the Mexican
minister of finance were regarded to
being adverse to any possibility of
immediate peace, it was still hoped
that after conferences with President
Diaz, some plans for granting suffi-
cient reforms would be announced.
On one point, insurrecto leaders
said they were unalterably determin-
ed. They would not lay down their
arms during peace negotiations and if
there was to he any truce, it would
be an armed truce"

MUST AGAIN BECOME RESIDENTS

People who have been living on lands
in the western part of the state and
have proved up and returned to their
homes in this state, are commencing to
have trouble now that they have left
their lands. In half dozen cases pro-
tests have been filed at the land office
at Rapid City on land which has been
proved up. The owners have been not
fled by the general land office that they
will have to return to their land at
once, and follow certain requirements
in furthering their proof.
In each instance persons who have
proved up have had their money re-
turned by the land office with the in
formation to return to their claims.
These owners are at loss to kn.w
what is the cause, nor are they able to
ascertain who is making the protest.

AS April 4 draws nearer, and it be-
comes more apparent that the kings
of big business will dictate the or
ganization OF the next house OF con-
gress to be controlled by the demo-
Gratis, the common people are begin
ming to ask themselves where they
got off at. Disguised with the Wall
street domination of the republican
party, the voters of the country last
fall expressed their emphatic disap-
prevail by electing democrats. Now
comes the test. The vote was not so
much an expression of choice between
republicans and democrats as it was
between continued Wall street con-
troll, and return to that democracy
which recognizes the people as the
real rulers.

REFERENDUM TO BE SHORT

Communications received in this
city would indicate that time has
somewhat modified the feeling against
an immigration department for the
state, which was carried away flom
the session by some of the most radi-
cal opponents of that measure and
that they have lost their desire to get
out and make campaign to carry
the proposition to the referendum.
Probably all to be submitted being
the Richards primary law, the stock
law and the headlight law, which will
be referred by II railroads if they
keep their promise made during the
session.

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

ALI indications point to very
heavy immigration to the western
part of South Dakota this year.
There will be- many homesteaders to
claim the land that remains yet un-
claimed, but there also will be many
who come to purchase the lands first
selected by settlers. 1t is pretty we'll
understood that the day of cheap
lands is passing. Here in western
South Dakota, Ave years ago, prior
to the extension of the North " est
ern and Milwaukee railroads from
the Missouri river to Rapid City, the
best Of the outlying, unirrigable lands
that had been located could be bought
for from four to six or seven dollars
per acre. Since the building Of the
roads and the consequent extension
of settlement they have advanced to
from fifteen to thirty dollars per acre.
Much of this advance no doubt is due
to the fact that people realize that the
public domain is a thing almost of
the past-that if you want good land
you must pay price for it. Another
reason that is exercising great in
fuence in this advance is found in
the realization that has been growing
that on these lands, SO cheap in com
parison with the farm lands of Ne
braska. Iowa and Illinois, as much
revenue may be produced as on the
high priced lands of the states named.
The development of alfalfa culture
during the past five years has been
remarkable. The intending purchas-
ers are, in large part, particular
farmers from the older states who
have sold their high priced lands and
are intent on securing greater acre
age at lover prices per acre, that
they may havea farm for each son or
daughter. Under the care and culJi-
yation Of such practical farmers the
true value Of these lands will be thor
onghly demonstrated, and this will
be made one Of the richest agricult-
urAl sections Of the west. Rapid

STATE LANDS BEING APPRAISED

+. F. Brinker, commissioner of
state and public lands, and State
Auditor Anderson are making fast
time in travelling over the state in
their work of appraising the state
school lands. The officials travel in
Mr.. Brinker's automobile, and are
not dependent on delayed trains, and
when they finish at one point they
can hurry off to another county, and
they are likewise enabled to drive in
to the county to make personal in
spection of a piece of state land.
April 4, is the date set by the Off :
Gals for the sale and lease of state
lands, and it is believed that higher
prices will prevail.

COUNTY oFFIcIAL PAPER
AMENDED ELECTION LAW

The act relating to government by
commission in the cities of South Dako-
ia was amended by the legislature last
winter in that portion relating to the
election OF commissioners u nd maj or.
The amendment specifies that per-
sons elected to municipal positions must
receive majority of all the votes cast
land second elections are provided for in
the event that majorities are not given
at the first election.
The amended portion of the law
reads:
If any person shallreceive majority
of all votes cast for candidates for the
office for which he is candidate, he
shall be declared elected. In case no
candidates shall receive a majority Of
the votes there shall be on the Tuesday
following such election, at secondary
election at which secondary election
the only persons voted for shall be the
two candidates receiving the highest
number of votes at the first election.
Such secondary election shat. be held at
the same polling places as the first elec
ton and the same persons shall act as
judges and clerks at such secondary
election and vacancies may be filled in
the same manner as is provided by law
for the filing of such vacancies at the
first election. Within forty eight hours
after the closing of the polls at such
secondary election the ballota shalt be
counted and returns made out and re-
turned by the election judges, under
seal, to the city auditor and upon the
Friday succeeding such secondary cleo
ton the board of commissioners shall
canvass such returns and declare the
results Of such secondary election and
cause statement thereof to be made
on it's journal. The person receiving
the highest number of votes at such
secondary election shall be declared
elected.
Under these provisions, the first cleo
ton becomes primary or nominating
election, provided majorities are not Sc
cured at the first election. The highest
two candidates for the same position
are thus made the nominees, to be ex-
clusively voted for at the second cleo
ton and the second election must nee
essarily terminate the contest.

FOR ROAD
Improvement

General Manager Ardery of the
Virginia & Truckee railroad COM
pany, was out from Carson We'd
nesday for the purpose of ascertain
ing the condition of the wagon
road 40 far south as Wellington
and to urge its improvement. At
Minaen he learned that the Board
OF Commissioners of Douglas
county were alive to the present
situation and had the day before
returned from trip over this
stretch OF road where they investi-
gated the present condition.
Mr.. Ardery conferred with two
members of the board during the
afternoon, but what conclusions
were arrived at is not known.
However, it is believed that the v.
d 7. people will join with the COM
missioners in putting the Yelling
ton road in the best condition
possible.
1t is evident that every induce
ment must be held out to team
sters and travellers from the south
to continue to make this point
their railroad shipping point, to
prevent the bulk OF the business
being transferred to the Copper
Belt road, with its terminus in
Smith Valley.

parole to Frank G. Everett, who

ing the life of J. Malone at Nina

The Everett case is one of the
most extraordinary in criminal
annals. During an epileptic
spell he committed his rash act
unknowingly. After being con-
fined in prison his condition grew
worse and last year he submitted
to an operation and needle was
found embedded in his skull. 1t
was removed along with portion
of the skull. Since the operation
he has suffered no spell and by the
specialists pronounced well man.
Without the unwavering help of
a faithful wife who left no stone
unturned, he would have remain
ed in prison until death released
him.
