PRIMARY RULE GOOD
IN THEORY BUT OPEN
TO QUESTION IN Law
John B. Hanten Hopes to See
Wilson Approve of Post
master Elections.

Wtertown, S. D., March 24.-John
B. Hanten, a prominent attorney OF
this place, whose legal opinion Attor-
ney General Johnson quotes in sup
port of his recent adverse rulings
against the present operation OF the
postmaster primary provision under the
new primary law. today made the fol-
lowing statement:
Under the federal constitution the
power is placed with the president to
make the federal appointments in this
state. He can recognize the will of
the people as to endorsements for such
appointments, as provided for in ar
ticles z and, s of the Richards primary
law; or he car ignore the people and
thus in effect place the appointive pow
err in the hands of the spoilsmen for
personal barter.
There are no requirements under the
Richards primary law as to appoint
ments that would not be perfectly just
and prope and good rules to follow
were they not the law, but hGving been
enacted int law in this state there
is an additional reason why they should
be obeyed at this time, voluntarily by
all party organizations.
THE president has the power to give
life or death to the spirit of this
party law as far as federal appoint
men are concerned. 1 look for Pres
ident Wilson to recognize the proyis-
ions of this law and to require COM
pliance Herewith through the depart
ments of the government in regular
course.
THE federal patronage as ordinarily
handled has always been the dominat-
ing influence to corrupt party state
politics, and it will be a great disap-
pointment to me If President Wilson
fails to recognize the merit OF its pro-
visions"

IMPORTANT MEASURES
LOST in THE SHUTTLE

Pierre, S. D., March 22.-The rush of
the closing hours of the session is I'M
%doubtedly responsible for the loss of
two, and perhaps more, measures which
the record shows passed both houses,
but which never found their way to
the governor for his approval. These
duced by Mcfarland, of Codington, and
White, Of Lyman, respectively. The
first provides for the entering of judg-
ment notwithstanding a verdict in GER
tain actions, and was prepared by Mr..
Mcfarland after the study Of statutes
of similar nature Of other states.
House bill No. 1876 was a measure pro-
yiding that a committee, consisting of
the governor, secretary Of state and
the attorney general. prepare a con-
densed statement to be printed OF the
ballots for referred laws and constitu-
tiona, amendments to show in a brief
way what the effect of q yes" or no"
vote is upon the question contained on
the ballot.

BIERWACON'S PLAN
TO RECLAIM REGION
NEAR BUFFALO GAP
enterprise Pronounced Feas-
ible if Suitable Federal
Aid Is Granted.

Philip, S. D., March 22.-Dan Bier
wagon, well known as q rancher and
alfalfa grower. was in Philip today, and
gave a talk to rs business men, his
subject being the Bierwagen frriga-
ton project. A map a been pre-
pared showing the proposed dams,
reservoirs, bitches and a portion of the
lrrigable tracts. S. H. Lea, who was
South Dakota's state engineer until
the recent change of administration,
booked into this project carefully and
regarded Is as feasible. Many of the
business men of this city, who at first
thought the plan a wild one, We're con-
vinced by Mr.. Bierwagen's talk that it
Is practicable.
Congressman Eben w. Martin has
given the project endorsement, stating
that if it proves feasible after prelim-
mary survey, the development could
be carried out by the federal govern
ment under the reclamation act.
The principal dam would be located
across the Cheyenne river near Buffalo
Gap, 40 miles south Of Rapid City, this
dam to be constructed of masonry at a
cost of $2,500,0 900 to 5000, 900. A flood
gate would form part of this dam and
when sand and sediment had collected
In the reservoir above the DAM, the
foodgate could be opened and the
sand released, the current forcing 1t
dow the channel Of the river.
A transmission ditch would convey
the water from the masonry dam to a
point so miles northeast, emptying into
a basin in the Bad Lands which would
be formed by the construction Of two
dams across outlets of an immense,
natural reservoir. The capacity of this
basin, which is near the town of Quinn,
has been estimated by engineers at
more than 100000 foot acres.
From this reservoir near Quinn,
which Is 20 miles west of Philip and
about SO miles east of Rapid City, the
main ditch would carry the water
northeast to the H~ardingrove flats, rs
miles north of here.
The business men of Philip will as
semble this evening to organize the
work of getting information as t o the
irrigable area in this vicinity.
A reconnaissance survey has been
authorized by the state legislature, an
appropriation of $4,000 having been
made. Mr.. Bierwagen will assist State
Engineer Derr in this work. which will
start about May 15.

who remember when dogs drew carts
IN England. These original dog carts.
which were suppressed by law IN the
middle of h last century, were largely
used by ccstermongers and the hum

outings. The dogs employed were large
animals of the mongrel breed, with a
