ton of becoming such.
When the few farmers here
can make such a showing by dry
farming only, in connection with
the fact that there is ample shall
low water to irrigate a large por-
ton of the valley, it needs no
further argument to prove that
all we. need further to make this
one Of the best counties of the
state is energy and capital. Con-
sidering the fact that land can
now be acquired here SO cheaply,
the energy and capital ought to
be forthcoming. 1t is simply a
question of letting the right peo-
pie know what there is here and
what can be done here.

JUDGE FORREST WRITES PLAY.
He Has Copyrighted a Drama En-
titled "Clate Manson, B. S. A."
Which Will Soon Be Staged.

States Attorney Forrest has writ
ten a drama, entitled "Clate Manson,
Boy Scout of America" and the same
has been copyrighted, and is now be-
ing considered for the stage. This Is
the first play and the first drama writ
ten in the state, and to Mr.. Forrest
belongs the honor. Those who have
glanced over the work regard it as ex-
ceedingly strong and viii become a
leading play a. soon as staged.
We believe Canton has local talent
sufficient to produce it at home, and
nowhere would the author find a more
responsive audience than in Canton.

tions TO the states first dramatic
author and hopes he may reap
royalty that will recompense him
thousand fold.

The Tribute Of His Pupils.

WATERFOWL Public Opinion: The
esteem and veneration in which Dean
Thomas Sterling is held by the young
men who have graduated under him
in the law college of the state univer-
sity OF South Dakota, as it was ex-
in Watertown last night,
is an endorsement or which any man
might we'll feel proud. Regardless of
political conviction, or fractional feel
ing, each and every one %zealously pays
a remarkable tribute to the sterling
integrity and ability OF Mr..
Thomas Sterling. There is a trust in
this which is rapidly spreading out
from this circle of rising young men
carrying a new hope to the plain
citizenship of this state. 1t is an
that what Dean Sterling
says he will stand for if he becomes a
United States senator, and he is going
to be beyond all doubt, he will stand
for after he takes the oath Of office.
Whenever the future may have in
store for Mr.. Sterling in the way OF
public hOnors, it can produce nothing
which could possibly bring to him
greater satisfaction than this volunt-
ary, splendid tribute which rings from
every county in the entire state.

Mr.. e. j.. Straw, a member OF h
Athenian debating society, was absent
at Los Angeles part OF the winter &C
companied by Mrs. Straw. At the
annual business meeting of the So
ciety Mr.. Straw vas elected President,
and on his return home a week or so
ago he was officially notified of the

last Monday when he informed the
members Of the Society that their
presence would be required at sthe

willing. and President Straw Vas
there to greet the boys" as they
came. An elegant menu had been
prepared as the Athenians are noted
for their love of good things. After
the feast and while La AZora smoke,
fioated into circles and fantastic
wreaths, Carl Glaettli, as toast-mast
err, arose and addressed the assembled
Athenians with greciaD eloquence and
then called upon each guest to re-
spond to a toast which brought an
eloquent answer from all. One OF the
features of the event vas place cards

might be termed a pen and ink por-
trait. and tits said that. Mr.-Puckett
enjoyed his picture better than any

fine half tone Of Mr. Straw over which

pleasant.

LINCOLN co. FAIR A SUCCESS.
Two Crowded Houses Witness A
Charming Entertainment by
Home Talent.

The well advertised Lincoln County
Fair given at the Opera House last
Friday and Saturday evening, was all
the ardent advocates of the entertain

financial way. The purpose OF the
air was to raise money with which
to purchase books for the Carnegie
Library TO be built during the sum.

The big stage Of the Opera House
was fitted up to represent the outside
of a county fair with the usual at
fractions and posters announcing the
special features.
There were aooths and tents and
circus attractions and sideshows and
red lemonade and everything to please
the festive youth.
Ed. Wendt was conspicuous as
general manager OF the sideshoWS,
but he seemed too modest for a man
covered with flashing diamonds. Ben
Kennedy was n of The Chief figures
in the fair and made more fun for the
boys than anybody else. He played
his part exceedingly well.
Miss Ellen Campbell, as the lone
and forlorn widow who had lost four
husbands and was not inclined to re-
fuse a chance to lose a fifth one, was
excellent. She played her part to per-
lection. Floyd Cooper, Judge Forrest
and the other star attractions did fine.
The little girls with dolls and the
boys we're especially good, and the
choruses were fine and the entire
show reflected great credit upon those

and drilling so many little girls and
boys.
During a brief intermission rs.
Clifford made a nice little speech in
which she thanked every body who
contributed in anyway towards the
success OF the entertainment.
The net proceeds of the W enter
tainments amounted TO $3.50 0 an
amount that will buy a good many
books for the new library.

Coming City Election.

The City Election will soon be here
and those interested in a continuation
OF the clean cut business methods of
our present city government have
been looking around to find the right
kind of men for water commissioner
and police commissioner, who have
the time and the welfare Of The city
sufficiently at heart to give their ser
vices practically free, as the commits
sioners only draw $500 a year as
salary.
II. J. knowlton positively declines
that will demand most Of his time,
and as a successor, the name Of Is. b
Wright has been suggested and Mr..
Wright would make an excellent
Water Commissioner. In the first
place he is not tied down with bust
ness, having retired from active
business some time ago, and, secondly,
he is a mar of good Judgment and
thoroughly competent for the place,
which covers every requisite, and If
he will accept the Office he will find
the people united in his support. The
Water Commissioner has important
city business to look after and the
office requires a man who has the
time and the public spirit to devote
to the work. In this respect Mr..
Wright is the most available man in
sight, and many business men spoken
to with reference to the matter hope
MI. Wright may see his way clear to
accept the office.
For the Office of Police Commission
er Ben Summerwill has a host of sup
porters, and the LEADER believes Mr..
Summerwill would make Il splendid
comm issioner, and that no man In
the city would take greater interest
in preserving the peace and securing
good order.

cant under the law, and it is evident
that he has given up coming back
this spring, as he has not commune
Gated with the Mayor or Commission
