Must Pay for Fumigation.

Pierre.-On request of the states at
torney of Union county, the attorney
generals department has rendered an
opinion on a question which has been
a q%uandary to more than one house.
holder in this state. The attorney
general holds that where the county
board of health has ordered a quaran-
tine and fumigation for contagious dis
eases, the expense of such fumigation
is upon the county, and not upon the
individual owner Of the property. This
matter of expense has been the cause
of many quarrels between individuals
and officials, and it is to be hoped that
the present opinion will settle the
matter for all time.

NEW SOUTH DAKOTA ROAD.
More Than 100000 Pledged For .
Railway.

Mitchell.-With more than 500, 900
pledged the construction of. a railroad
between Mitchell and Blunt with the
termination at Pierre, a strong posi-
bility appears to be a greater reality
Three of the promoters of this line OF
road, Messrs. Dan Walsh. c. A. Fraser
and J. c. Thull, held a business session
with members OF the Commercial club
and citizens to ascertain what Mitch
ell wanted to do toward the construc-
ton of the road. These men, who are
all farmers, have been at work for
three months among the farmers along
the proposed route, getting them to
agree to give 800 for each quarter
section Of land lying within a distance
OF eight miles Of the proposed line OF
road. To bind the farmers to the
agreement a mortgage is given on the
land in question, which makes the fl.
nancial end of the 800, 900 a practical
ly sure thing. There was a committee
of five appointed to arrange for a con-
vention Of delegates, five from each
town on the line of road. The Pierre
supporters of the new road offer the
graded road bed Of the old Pierre,
Aberdeen and Black Hills railroad,
which was projected twenty-three
vars ago to run the line into Pierre
from Blunt. The promoters assert that
they will have no trouble whatever
in securing a pledge of 500 on every
quarter section between the two
points.

EUROPE'S ROYAL HOUSEWIFE

1t would be hard to find a more capa-
BILE housekeeper than the empress of
Germany.
Her ideal is service: she has de-
voted her life to serving her country,
her husband, and her children. She
believes that this is woman's highest
and only mission, and that women are
happy as long as they keep to this
ideal. The empress has never inter
fered in affairs of state, and the daz-
zle of court life has meant little to
her. But she has always found Joy
caring for the comforts Of the emper.
or, looking after her children, and
managing her household.
When the Kaiser calls for his wife
he finds her engrossed in the many
departments OF her housekeeping lore
in which she is so proficient. Though
she does not go into the kitchen and
order her groceries and meats as do
her subjects, the chief steward comes
to her study every morning and they

Where Does the Grange Stand !

Among many good things in the
address Of the National Grange
Master at Spokane we note the fol-
lowing:
The question of conserving our,
natural resources is one of great
Importance to this as well as to
coming generations. Almost so per
cent is lost in our great coal mining
and lumber interests. Measures
should be taken to protect our peo-
pie against wantop extravaganza
and waste. The farmer is especial
ly concerned in the conservation Of
our soil, and should insist that the
department of agriculture establish
more experiment stations in all
parts of the country, giving farm
ers a practical illustration of soil
conservation.
Along the lines Of conservation
the grange should stand as pioneer
and leader and demand that. our
educational aud social system be so
changed as to conserve the he-tlh,
the morals and the intellect Of the
American child.
In direct line with this is a reso-
luton which was passed in which
the national grange indorses the
legislation contemplated in bills
which are now pending i, both the
senat. and house of representatives
at Washington, to prohibit inter-
state commerce in liquors to be used
in violation of the laws of the states
into which they arr imported. The
resolution also requested the men,
bership everywhere to urge the
passage Of said bills by personal
appeals by letters, and by petitions
to congressman.
The grange also adopted recon-
.1endation, emphatically endorsing
the Page-Wilson vocational educa-
tion bill, now pending in congress.
