WITHDRAWAL
FROM RACE
Judge Carpenter Will Not Be a Can.
dida.e for Consres ,ional
HOnOrS.

Several weeks ago the announce
ment was made that Judge Cyrus
{. Carpenter, of the Twelfth Judi
cial circuit, was a candidate for
the republican nomination for con
gress from the third district as a
progressive, as opposed to Con-
gresham Z. w. Martin. the Is
abel Jews prints a statement that
Judge Carpenter is not candidate
and will remain on the bench. The
News says:
While this friendly comment
comment has been a source OF
qualification to the Judge, and he
appreciates very highly the great
compliment shown him by his
friends in insisting that he make
the race, yet he is not going to be
a candidate, as he believes he can
do more good for his country and
himself by remaining in the judge
ship, which is his life work. We
make this announcement after a
personal interview with the Judge.
The people from the twelfth dis
trict will hail with gladness the
news that the judge is to remain
on the bench and to dispense equal
justice to all for years"

SIOUX OPPOSED TO
FURTHER OPENINGS
Will Send a Dedication to Washing.
ton to Present Views to
COuGresSmen.

Wakpala, s. D., Jan. / 1.-The
Standing Rock Sioux have just
ended what will probably be the
last general council they will ever
hold concerning the disposal of
their surplus lands.
They arc strongly opposed to the
opening of the remainder of the
resel vatiOn at this time, and have
Sc ected a delegation of eight men
to present their views to the In
dian committee. Their main OBJ
jecti0ns appear to be that there is
such a small amount of surplus
land left, and the most of that only
grazing land. They say it might

tact.
They also point out that there
are thousands of acres Of good va
cant land left in the portion open
ed in 1908, and that it would be
better to settle that first be ore
opening any more. The Indians
will make the fight of their lives to
retain their diminished reserve in
tact, mainly because they want to
have a free range for their cattle
and horses. The Sioux On the
Standing Rock reservation have
become successful stock raisers,
and take naturally to the cowboy
life. They have never before
shown much aptitude for farming.
While congress has the power to
open reservations to settlement re-
gardless of the wishes of the In
dians, it has always been custom
ary to consult with them before
passing any legislation affecting
their interests.
A large amount Of fine farming
land has been sold by individual

INCREASES ITS
CAPITAL STOCK
Directors Of Mobridee State Bank
Find il Necessary to Double
Its Capital.

At a special meeting of the
board of directors Of the Mobridge
State Bank last week, it was de-
cided to increase the capital stock
Of that institution from $40, 10000
to 500, 900 90, AMI the change took
effect on January 1st. This is the
pioneer bank of Mobridge, and
since its organization has been
operated on a capital of $40 600. 90,
but the present change has been
contemplated by the management
for sometime. The city has grown
so rapidly and its business inter.
estS have increased so extensively
that the present move on the pant
Of the directors was necessary in
order to mole judiciously and con-
venlently meet the demands made
on the bank in handling business
transactions from time to time.
With the increased capital stock,
the institution will be enabled to
look after the financial needs of
the city better than ever before,
and those who have funds to de-
pOsit and other business matters
which are usually entrusted to the
care Of a bank can rest assured
that this is one of the strongest
banks in this part of the stale.
The necessity Of doubling the
capital stock of this bank is added
evidence Of the growth of Mo-
bridge, and an index TO its grea' ly
increasing business importance.
Up uutil the present time the cap
ital Of the bank answered all pur-
poses, but with increased business
interests and the growth of present
business enterprises, enlarged de-
minds will be made apon the
banking institutions Of the city.
Realizing this fact, the manage.
ment of tais financial institution
decided to prepare for the new Or
der Of things by making the change
with the beginning of the new
year. The officers and directors
of the bank are to be congratulated
upon their conservative business
methods of the past and the pres
ent evidence of the prosperity of
the institution under their charge

ulators, and is being held at prices
ranging from $l5 TO $2a an acre.
The unopsned portion of the reser-
walton is probably the best water
ed and wooded land in the state.
A good deal OF it is rougn and
broken, but there are some fine
level farming lands and rich bot
toms capable of irrigation.
The main line of the Puget
Sound railway traverses the land
from east to west, and also a
branch line porth and south. The
Northern Pacific branch also goes
through the northern POI ton
Taking into consideration the rail-
road facilities and nearness to mar
kets, the abundance of timber and
unfailing streams Of water, this is
probably the best lot Cf unopened

Quite little snow has fallen and
at times there was slight wind

good sized billiards., and owing
to the fact that there is much
more snow in that country, the
wind has caused considerable in
convenience.
Train service on the south
branches has been practically at a
standstill for ten days or more.
On the Isabel branch one train ar
rived in Mobridge, but the COM

train into Isabel from this place
for ten days. One train is snow

The last train from the east to

from this place several days ago,
but it is stalled in the vicinity of
Eagle Butte and has been unable
to make any progress whatever,

MONEYED MEN
ARE OPTIMISTIC
Bankers of State, Probed by Pierre
Paper, Look Forward TO
Good Year.

Pierre, S. D., January 3.-The
Capital City Spirit, published in
this city, has secured signed inter
views from bankers in practically
every section Of the state, giving
their views as to the outlook for
this state for 1912. The general
forecast by these men of money"
is optimistic as to what the new
year is to bring to the state. The
general tenor is that while the re-
ports 0f condition of state and ma
tional hanks for the December call
of condition will likely show a fall
ing off of deposits, it will also show
a material increase in back re-
serves. This was brought about
by the liquidation which has been
going on for the past year, follow
ing the decline of the high prices
Of real estate from the point to
which they had been pushed up to
the first of last year. This liquid
alton has been carried on without
crowding debtors, and has put
the finances Of the state, not only
of the banks, but Of individuals,
on sounder basis than that which
prevailed during the period of bus
iness expansion of the last six or
seven years. The loss in crop to-
tai yield to the state on account of
the intense heat of the early part
Of last crop season. while it has
been hard on individuals, has
helped along the liquidation pro-
cess, and in that much assisted in
putting the state finances on a
firmer basis. While the crop was
short, the prices were long, and
generally the shortress has not cut
down the cash returns for the crop
which was secured.
OUTLOOK is GOOD.s
Practically every section reports
that the outlook for everything in
the line of vegetation getting a fine
start next spring was never better.
The portions of the state which
met with the wo. st shortage of
rainfall for the first part Of the
season were all well soaked last
fall and the freeze-up found the
prairie full of moisture instead of
dry, as it was the previous fall.
This is being supplemented by
good SHOWS over the state, and al
together the tone of forecast is
hopeful, but at the same time urg-
ing the farm ers to engage as far
as possible in diversified farming,
and to leave behind them the 'one
ercp" idea of farming.
Taken altogether, the bankers Of
the state stand in the role of opti-
mists, both as to the present bank
ing and business conditions gener-
ally over the state, but also as to
what the coming year has to bring
TO the people of South Dakota in
the way of sounder prosperity
based on a conservatism which is
looked upon as natural result of
several years of high pressure,
which came very near reaching the
limitations of BOOM" but
which is now subsiding.

God made man, but he never
made a person with two faces.
Those folks with two faces are a
product of the devil, and he never
made a more abominable thing.
Two faces in religion, two faces in
politics, two faces in the social
sphere, or two faces in business
are the prime causes for more
misunderstanding, more confusion,
more pull-back to society, more
insult to God and ingratitude to
man than anything the devil ever
Matched out in the pit.
