bodies and business firms, not to
mention private enterprises. Judg-
ing by the enthusiasm by which the
decorations have already been taken
up, the far from lovely city of Lon
don viii be almost transformed.
While the details of the plans have
not been definitely settled, certain
leading features of the general
scheme of decoration have virtually
been adopted. 1t is probable the
city will be divided In sections with
magnificent arches at the entrance of
each division. The streets of the
West End, through which the coron-
alton professions will pass, will be
lined with rows of Venetian masts
connected with floral garlands and
topped by flags representing all por-
tions of the empire
Gratifying progress Is reported in
the preparation of the musical ritual
of the coronation service As already
announced the musical program will
follow closely that at the coronation
of King Edward VIII, with a few no.
table additions. There will be a
larger choir and also a larger band
than at the coronation of the late
king. The singers will number al
most five hundred and the instru-
mentalists probably one hundred.
The nucleus of the choir will nat
urally be the the Westminster Abbey
singers, who will be reinforced by
the choirs of St. Paul's cathedral, the
Chapel Royal, st. Georges Chapel at
Windsor, and drafts from the choirs
of Rochester Cathedral and other
sources in the privinces. The orches-
ira, in which the trumpeters will
have a conspicuous part, will be
made up of musicians from the
sources in the provinces. The orches-
the Royal choral society and the
Kneller Hall school of Military mu-
sic.
The chief features of the musical
ritual will be the anthems specially
composed for the occasion by Sir
Frederick Bridge Sir Walter Parrat
and Sir George Martin, the three
greatest organists of England. Sir
Frederick Bridge probably will be Sc
lected to compose the anthem which
will signalize the entrance of the
party into Westminster Abbey. This
recalls an interesting and timehonor-
ed custom. Midway In the anthem
break will be made, so that the
boys of Westminster School may ex-
ercise their ancient privilege of greet
ing their majesties by shouting, xvi
vat Regina Maria," vivat Rex
Georgus."

SNOWFALL BULLETIN.

The snowfall in South Dakota dur
ing January, 1911, was below normal
the average amount being 4.3 inches
and except in the more elevated por-
tions of the Black Hills, where the
largest amounts received occurred,
and over some Of the northern coun-
ties of the James and Big Sioux riv-
er valleys, was comparatively light,
the ground over large areas being
much of the time free from snow.
Except in the Black Hills, the month
~ amounts ranged from trace in
several Middle Missouri river valley
localities to from s to ten inches in
several northeastern counties. In
the Black Hills district the monthly
amounts ranged from about one
inch in parts of Butte and Harding
counties to from IL to rs inches IN
the southern portion of Lawrence
county.
Mild weather after the 18th, espe-
cially in the western counties, nat
urally reduced the accumulated
depth of snow on the ground from
what it was at that date. At the end
of the month the ground was practi-
cally free from snow over extensive
areas from the James river valley to
the border of the Black Hills and
mostly over the foothills. AS rule
the snow remaining in the gulches
of the Hills at the close of the month
was we'll packed.

DUCHESS OF ALBANY
FIFTY YEARS OLD.

London, Feb. IT, The Duchess
of Albany, who married Prince Lee
pold, youngest son Of Queen Victoria,
in 1882, celebrated her fiftieth birth
day anniversary today at Claremont
House, her residence in Surrey. She
received large number of kilograms
and letters of congratulation, among
them being messages from the King
and Queen, the German Emperor and
Empress. and other members of the
royal family.
The Duchess of Albany is one of
the most popular members of Eng
lands Royal family. Her popularity
is due in measure, doubtless, to the
fact that only two years after her
marriage to Prince Leopold the latter
died suddenly, leaving her, as it were
a ward of the nation. Before her
marriage she was Princess Helene,
daughter of the late Prince George
of Waldeck and Pyrmont. She is re-
lated to many of the reigning houses
of Europe in her own right, the
queen mother of Holland being her
sister.
The duchess is known as a woman
OF no common calibre. She has no
taste for society, or the frivolties of
court life, but is able to engage in a
discussion of public questions Of the
day and is well versed in many
branches of science. AS She herself
has expressed 1t. she likes to see
how things are DONE" It is no unus-
ual thing for her to- visit manufac-
fury, shipbuilder's or philanthropy
ic institution and to ask to be shown
round, taking the keenest interest in
all details and asking many leading
questions.
The only daughter of the duchess
of Albany became the wife Of Prince
Alexander Of Teck in 1904. Her son
who is now in his twenty-eighth year
relinquished the title of Duke of Al
bany when he was called to succeed
his uncle on the throne of SAKE
Coberg and Gotha about ten years
ago.

daily it was it's custom to get out
and race with the westbound possen-
GER trains, almost always coming as
Gar west as this point. Time and
again the animal would tlirt with
death zigzagging across the track
Gust ahead of the engine.
It had become the custom OF en-
11neers on the passenger run to blow

almost ALWAYS hroupht the animal to

olast of the whistle acted as chal-
&enge and the race was on and during

die animal has been in the pink OF
condition it has frequently won its
ao-mile race by 500 to 900 yards.
On the particular afternoon last
week when the coyote made its last
race, winning over the train, but los
ing with death, it seemed in excep-
donally good spirits. Engineer
Franklin, who was pulling the fast

and started after the train, soon

tration's attack on the magazine and
periodical press of this country thru
the medium of an increase in the
class postage.
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
his excuse in his alleged deficit. Pres
ident Taft has his excuse in his sup
port of the cabinet member, who is
trying to put his department on the
self-supporting basis. The admins
tration senator's who tackled the am
endment on the postoffice bill have
their excuse in the demand of the
president that the increase shall be
made. They are making these ex-
cuses, too, now that they are discov-
ering how thoroughly the the people
are aroused on the matter of using
the taxing power of the government
to confiscate-for that is what it
amounts to-a free press that has
dared to criticise and condemn GER
tain acts of bottle the administration
and the supporters of the admins
tration in congress.
Laying aside the economic fact
that the imposition of this tax by the
government means the ruin of the
magazine and periodical business in
this country, the absolute extinction
of the popular magazines, look at
the politics of it. Three facts are
certain:
1. This tax Is carefully matur-
ed plan by the administration in con-
junction with the interests the repub-
lican majority in congress have serv-
ed sixteen years, to stamp out the
progressive republican movement in
this country, by depriving that move
ment of its meaus of publicity and
its medium for the spread OF it's
propaganda.
2. It is especially directed at the
newly formed progressive republican
league and at the progressives in
congress who have been supported by
the magazine and periodical press in
their attempts to rid the country OF
Aldrichism and Cannonism.
3. 1t is an act of direct reprisal
on the part of President Taft, Hitch
cock, Cannon, Aldrich and all the
Cannon and Aldrich crowd in con-
gress, of whom there are seven on
the committee that put the amend
ment in the senate bill, intended to
punish those magazines and periodi-
calls that have been speaking fear
lessly about governmental and polit-
ical abuses.
OF course, the publishers can make
the case, and are making it vigor-
ously and effectively that this dis
criminatory reprisal tax will bank
rupt them, or if any of them can con-
tinue, will inevitably increase the
price of the popular magazines to the
reading public. But that is not the
main point.
The vital thing that concerns the
people of the country is that the adj
ministration by exercising its taxing
power, is endeavoring to abolish a
free press, not only in tn interests OF
it's own political ambitions and those
Of men who serve it, but also in the
interest and for the protection of the
financial powers that it seeks to
serve.
The question is bigger than one Of
money, either in the governments
purse or out of the purses of the
publishing business it curtails, as it
will be il this increase in second
class postage becomes a law.
1t is blow at liberty guaranteed
under the constitution and is subver-
sive to every American idea of JUS
tice. fair play and decent politics.
