CAUST|C LETTERS
From Constituents of Members
of the South Dakota
Legislature

Pierre, Feb. 25.-Reading aloud the
critical letters from constituents at
home is one of the diversions occasion
ally enjoyed by members of the legis-
lature during tine lounging periods in
the Hobbies. Very often these letters
show a lack of awe and respect for the
honorable titles and services attached
to membership in the assembly.
One of the house members received
a letter protesting against a pending
measure with reference to the use of
pump guns and the communication in
cluded the following observations of a
general nature;
cit looks to us fellows down here as
though the time of the legislature
might be put to better use than the
ones they have been wasting their
time on up there, and making the
proceedings of our Legislature the
laughing stock of the whole country.
Why don't you people that have still
got their senses take those fellows that
are making such idiots of themselves
by the nape of the neck and the slack
of the pants and throw them into the
Missouri river. This will get them
ont of the way so they will not bother
any more"
Another critical communication
came from a real estate man and
dealt with the proposed law for closing
pool halls at 9 o'clock. The writer
says:
where does the author of the bill
live and what does he do, anyway 7
Did he ever ride on the cars beforeH Of
all nonseDsical bills this is surely the
limit. Why doesn't he present a bill
for prohibiting all artificial lights, so
that people will retire with the chick
ensf There are many places in this
world worse. for mature men than a
pool hall after 9 O'Clock in the even
ing. and the Legislature seems to be
one of the places. The members there
do lots more damage than the pool
halls"

SHEEP WILL SOON
Be A CURIOSITY

From the present indications
there will be few sheep left in
Humboldt county in another year
or two. This will be in part due
to the Democratic free weol tariff.
although the prevailing high price
of mutton has something to do with
conditions.
1t is said that about $4,000 head
of sheep have been contracted for
by the buyers IN the northern part
of the county during the past ten
days and half as many more have
been shipped from Golconda and
Winnemucca during the past week.
Saturday Frank Garnteiz shipped
$500, and Sunday S. Siard ship
ped 1000 head from Winnemucca.
From Golconda John Casabiele ship
ped, 1000 head of lambs yeter-
day. Julian Liotard shipped 5000
head of lambs and wethers today,
and John Etchart is preparing to
ship about 5000 head of ewes the
latter part of the week. The ship
ment of A Pasquale from this sta
tion today amounted to 3,40O head.
To Silver State reporter today
a prominent sheepman said that
the Underwood tariff bill is the
straw that broke the sheepman's
back. For the past several years,
he claimed, there has been but lit
tie money in sheep. This condition
was due to the high price of labor
and supplies of all kinds including
hay, high license fees and taxes
and fees demanded by the govern
ment for permission to grazs on
the forest reserves. .a...
"And now" said the sheepman
we are confronted with a free wool
tariff on one side and the Nevada
State Commission on the other.
The outlook is discouraging and
the ultimate result will be that be-
fore the end of the Wilson admin
istr alton there will be but small
portion Of tho present number Of
sheep in Nevada. Winnemucca

COURT CALENDAR CALLED

The Court Calendar for the Oc-
tober term of the District Court
was called this morning by Judge
Taber. A majority of the cases
went over term.
In a number Of instances cases
were u dead letter and were dis
missed while Others appeared in
the same fix but counsel Cor one
side Or other did not care to go
ahead and have the cases dismissed
until they could communicate with
the out of town counsel. 1t ap-
pears that in some cases suits had
been begun and then settled pri-
yately later or dropped but no no.
tice sent 10 the court or court clerk
of such disposal, leaving the cases
sill on tho records.
Judge Taber was in cined to CEN
sure such practices. He said old
eases should not be continually he
carried on the records and encum-
ber the work Of the court. He
favored clearing the calendar as
fist rs possible and asked the at
torneYs to cooperate with him to
this; end. 1t is probable that sew
eral old cases now of record will
soon be cleared from the records.
There will be very few cases out

A new method OF giving medicaT
students instruction which, it is said,
will largely obviate the necessity of
dissection, will be put into practice at
the Hahnemann Medical college, Phil
adelphia, Mt the beginning of the next
term. Physicians and surgeons con-
nected with the department OF anat-
omy are now perfecting tho process.
which originates through the recent
discovery by a German scientist of,
a fluid by the use Of which the human,
body can be rendered transparent.
The fluid, which is composed of sew

transparent jelly when injected. en-,

Fine Road
Finished

The new road across the Ruby
Mountains at Harrison pass is
said to be one Of the bes mountain
roads in the State. Last season
the county changed the road from
the rolling hills to the canyon
beginning just above Toyn's ranch
and put the new road on good
grade from that point to the foot
of the summit. This left one very
steep hill on the South Fork side
and about three miles of extremely
bad road on the Ruby side of the
mountain where it nearly always
became impossible in the winter
owing to drifting snow.
= Under the new law passed by
Congress in 1912, one tenth of the
receipts of the National Forests are
returned every year for the use in
the construction Of roads and trails
within the forests. This gave S750
to the Supervisor of the Ruby Ma
tional Forest for the fiscal year and
Mr. Ryan conferred with the coun-
ty commissioners regarding where
it could be spent to the best ad-
vantage of the county roads. 1t
was first suggested that the money
be spent on the Secret Pass, in CO.
operation with the county by
changing the present road to the
creek bottom; but after careful
investigation of the proposed new
road, by Patterson, Griswold, and
Supervisor Ryan, it was estimated
it could not be built short of $15,-
900. The commissioners decided
that the County was not able to
expend such large sum on that
and at this time and recommended
that the forest funds be expended
in the improvement of the Harri-

son Pass road.
Mr. Ryan invited the settlers OF
South kuhy and Hylton who were
interested in the improve ment oi
this road to meet him on the
ground and suggest changes in the
old road, or lay out a new road if
practicable. AS result of this
the best practical ideas of the men
who had been travelling the road
for years were obtained and d road
surveyed on maximum grade OF 6
per cent so located that it is be-
lieved there will be no difficulty in
maintaining tn open road all win
ter.
The road as completed on Sept
25 is ID feet wide with a drain
ditch on the upper side and iron
culVerts placed under the road bed
at proper intervals to provide ade-
quate drainage. The new road
constructed this year is about 81
miles long, all graded into the side
of the mountain, some of it shot
out of solid rock and cost in the
neighhorhood of $1,000. $1,000 was
paid by the forest service and
about S1G0 or $3.50 worth of plank
ing and culvert pipe furnished by
the county.
1t is expected that this 10 per
cent of the Forest receipts will be
available every year hereafter for
use on the roads
This with the rs per cent return
ed to the State for its use for
schools and roads makes 35 per
cent of the receipts of the forest
that are returned to the states
(and if it is all used to as good ad-
vantage as that on the Harrison
Pass road, it will be expended }
