THE STATE TAX IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

And in consideration of the Eg-
gan high tax argument, it is in
tercstlng to know just how South
Dakota compares with neighbour
ing states. The facts are that
South Dakota is governed more
cleaply than any surrounding state.
1t has the lowest per capita tax.
The following table, compiled
from the published reports of state
officials, shows the cost of conduct
ing five northwestern states:

This table is an eloquent refuta-
ton of Egan's charges of high cost
and extravaganza. 1t explains and
proves that Egan's charges in this
respect are made for the puspose
OF deceiving the voters of South
Dakota. Even in North Dakota
admittedly we'll governed state
the state tax rate is seven mills,
while in South Dakota it is four
mills.-Watertown Public Opinion

Soldiers Fire voIIey
 Into United States

A squad of Mexican federal soldiers fired 6 volley into United States ter.
 ritory at Nsco last Saturday night.
 under the impression, so the perfecto
 explained to the authorities the next
 day, that rebels were attempting to cross from the states into Mexico.
 The affair was brought about by
 bunch of Chinsmep, who while being sm ugsled across the border, were ap. prehended by United States mount. ed inspector of customs. They were discovered on the American side of the line, were pursued by the inspec. tor and made for the international line Unable to overtske them. be fired one shot over their heads with the idea of intimidsting the celestisls. A volley from Mexican soldiers sts- tioned in the hills was the immediate response. Nothing more has been seen of the Chiusmen.
 The prefecto made an apology for the affair the next day and said that | the soldiers were under the impress sion that they were being attacked by | | rebel iorce, which had been reported as forming on the American side of the line to invade Sonora and capture the Naco custom house.

Kinney Bill Will
 Not Be Submitted

The Kinney bill has gone by the board. It will not te submitted tc the voters next November, though the woman suffrage amendment will be submitted. This statement has not yet been officially made. but it is nevertheless the fact.
 The Kinney bill fails because of the failure to secure the petition from Swansea for filing within the required time. Without the Swansea petition the bill lacked thirty signstures. There were forty-fse signatures st- tached Co the swanses document, but that was lost and has net, 60 far ss known. been found. Anyway, it has not been presented at the office O; the secretary Of state.
 It was thought by the friends Of the bill that tbe trouble might Dc overcome by the presentation of afi- showing that the petition con. tsiced the forty five signstures, and that they he'd been affixed within the required time. The attorney gener- sl's office has decided. however, that that may not be done.

Hereford Bridge
 is Abandoned

The county bridge a. Hereford is rendered useless for teams and travel, and will have 10 he sbandoned. The river first washed out the approaches on both sides of the iron bridge and since the heavy rsins the river course has been changed sufficiently to leave The bridge practically isolated in . branch of the river, and DO chance to connect same with the banks. h all kelihood the bridge will be moved to another point on the river. Mean ~biie the county hks cut the banks and built ter:porary read to .ord the river at the best available point near the old bridge site. The matter will come up before the supervisors at their meeting on Monday.

Mount Ranier
 National Park

A few days ago in the United States senate, . bill providing an sppropris- ton for the Mount Rainer National Park was uLdsr discussion and many senators took occasion to laud the scenery of respective state. This fur nisbed Honorable Henry F Ashurst, sho is ever loyal to his own state, sp opportunity to deliver e fiowery ors- tion on the San Frsncisco peaks:
 Some yesrs ago I camped one sum- mer's nigh, high upon the southern slopes of the great San Francisco pesks. Iswoke early, just as the blue laoce heads of dawn were shooting up from the eastern horizon. Here and there other mountain peaks soon be- gan 10 break through the yapory sess that filled the gorges. like an island whose jutting and cobfounded hase was swelled by the wild and waste!ul ocean.

 The senate was enchanted by this gray eagle Of the San Francisco craze as the senator is now known in Wash. lington.
 The New York Sun. commenting on the effect of this mighty eloquepce says:
 "The laurel must be pressed down lupon the brow of this man ot brief. from the younger Of the twin new s,stes, There is not another senator cspable of flight of fancy 90 unpre. meditated and sustained. Senstori groped about the chamber with handI shading their eyes.

Two Men Found
 Hanging to Tree

T~o men, identified ss G. Schubert and John Herting. and we'll known in Arizona were discovered lsst Monday hanging to their necks to the bough Of 6 tree near the Monte Visto mine about fifteen miles east of Cos, Son. ora.
 This reported killing is regarded as the worst case of csuseless murder re- ported since the trouble was started. It is more than likely that the deed wac done by strsgglers from the rebel army.
 The fact that Schubert and Hert- ling were left ss . sign of the slayers. they being left hanging to e tree would indicate that it was the work of the rebel bandits who desired to attract attention to what may be ex~ pected from the guerrilla warfare with which the state Of Sonora is now threatened.
