CHEAPER COAL
WILL RESULT
MILWAUKEE SYSTEY MAKES CON
GESSION GIVING SOUTH DN-
KOTA LIGNITE ACCESS TO
MARKETS.

Pierre. S. D.-Cheaper coal for the
northern part of the state is promised
through a settlement of the coal rate
controversy raised by the miners in
the vicinity of Isabel. The operators
of that section were being discrimir-
ated aginst in the matter of rates. in
competition with the North Dakota
mines at Scranton and Haynes and
filed their complaint with the state
railway commission.
After a hearing an agreement was
reached, the Milwaukee, road. which
touches the mines, granting the lsa-
be- operators the s'me ton mileage as
is given to the North Dakota mines.
This reduces the Ignite rate from
Isabel to MobridSe from $1.25 per
ton to S5c, and puts the Isabel lg-
lite into Aberdeen at a rate of $1.4o
per ton. as against S1.I5 per ton from
,he Scranton mines. The reduction
will give a lower rate on the product
IF the South Dakota mines to IN
portion OF the state where they may
ship. than q be secured by the
North Dakota operators, as the Isabel
mines has the advantage of distance
when the rate per ton mile is made
the same on both locations.

EMO PROPOSE
COUNTY TICKET
WILL PROBABLY NOT HAVE
DOUBLE PROPOSAL CONVEN-
TION NEXT TUESDAY.

Leaders among Dawson county
democrats have practically decided
that it Will not be necessary to have
majority and minority party conven-
lions next Tuesday, as provided Tor
by the Richards primary system. THIS
is in line with the general policy of
the democrats all over South Dakota
and only in a few counties is it ex-
pected that the double convention
system will prevail.
This is accounted for in two ways.
The principal reason is the absences
of any distinct factipnal feeling in
the democratic party and the other
is dearth of candidates seeking nonr-
nations for office. With sever or
eight elements or factions in the re-
publican party, it will be compare
lively easy to hold two conventions
for that party, divided along the lines
of ''progresslves" and "stalwarts."
Conference among the democratic
leaders i'll Dawson county has develop
ed a tentative list or ticket of candir
dates to be considered next Tuesday.
Clyde kimblc is the one llold-over
democrat in county office and he has
already announced his intentions of
u liS " nv holiiIItitioh' 'Ob'' -
Berry, tho other democrat in Office,
will retire from the position of
sheriff.
For state senator. the two candi-
dates most prominently mentioned
are former Senator III. Il. Hitchcock
amd Sheriff Berry. Mr.. Hitchcock
has declared that he would not ac-
cept the nomination and Mr.. Berry
has not expressed any desire to do
so, but the eXigencics of politics may
draft one of them into the service.
No candidates have been defiIitely
considered for representatives in the
lower house.
For treasurer, City Auditor N. II.
Jensen looms up as the probable
nominee. Mr.. Jensen has not commit
ted himself upon the matter n VIII
not seek the nomination. John o.
Champion has already declined the
offer of the nomination for auditor.
j. c. Hamiel has announced his can
didacy for the office of sheriff and
lIoyt Cox will probably be in the
field for the place of clerk OF courts.
mo candidates have yet been brought
forth for tho places of county judge
and superintendent OF schools.

spring Chipping Of Horses.

The modern practice among The bod
posted and most progressive horse owners
and farners is to clip all horses in the
spring. 1t Is done on the theory that In
their natural state horses were not obliged
to work. so could shed the winter coat in
comfort over period Of several weeks.
Since we oblige them to do hard work on
warm spring days, the winter coat should
be removed for the same reason that we
lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped
horses dry off rapidly, hence they do not
take cold as easily nor are they as prone
to be affected with other ailments as UNI
clipped animals whose longer hair holds
the perspiration for hours. Because clipped
horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get
more good from their food and come out
In the morning refreshed and fit for work.
Since the advent of the ball bearing en-
closed gear clipping machine, the work Of
taking off tho winter coat is easy. With
the machine horse can be clipped all over
in half an hour. whereas with the old two
hand clipper II required several hours TO
do it.
Dairymcn also now clip the cows all
over two or three times year. The tanks
md udders are clipped every three or four
weeks. so it is easy to clean the parts be-
fore milking This means less opportunity
for dirt and other impurities to get into
the milk.

SALOONS CAUSE or, TROUBLE
Convictions In Police Court Of 1rIs-
bane Increase Greatly When
Dram Shops Are Opened.

The citizens OF Brisbane Australia.
were recently given striking Illus
tration OF the fact that arrests for mis-
demeanors multiply with the opening
OF saloon doors and decrease when
they swing shut. A big strike was on
In the city and many workmen were
idle. AS an experimental measure
the saloons were closed for one week.
Convictions In tho police courts
promptly dropped from eighty-six to
twenty-six. and arrests for drunken.
ness from fifty to Ave. After one
week OF prohibition the saloons were
permitted to do business from three
to six in the afternoon. Convictions
jumped to thirty-five, and arrests for
drunkenness to fourteen. Next, the sa-
looms were allowed to run twelve
hours each day. Convictions jumped
to eighty-eight. and arrests for drum
kenness to forty. The following week
all restrictions were withdrawn, and
the convictions numbered 109 the ar.
rests for drunkenness sixty-seven.

OUR CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR
Compares Favorably With That Of
Other Countries, Thanks to Actlv-
lily of Temperance People.

Our per capita consumption OF
liquor compares favorably with that OF
other countries. thanks to the tenn
perance agitators.
When temperance people are de-
risively told that the report of tho
commissioner of internal revenue
shows an increase In the output OF
the brewers and the distillers. we
must consider the increasing number
OF immigrants who come to our coun-
try with their own ideas OF liquor
drinking. The quantity OF beer con.
sumed per capita In the United States
Is not as great as In Belgium, the
United Kingdom. Germany or Den
mark; and our per capita consumption
OF distilled liquor is less than that OF
Denmark, Hungary, Austria, France,
the Netherlands and Sweden. The
quantity of wine consumed In the
United States is less per capita than
in Portugal. Spain. Italy, France
Switzerland, Austria and Hungary
We should consider how much worse
conditions would be In the United
States were 1t not for the activity OF
the temperance people OF our country
We understand there is In tho liquor
warehouses an immense amount OF
liquor which has not yet been dis
tributee, but which is reckoned in the
internal revenue report.
