AN ECHO Of THE PRIMARY
Mixup in South Dakota House Over Sum For
Bee Inspectors.

Mixup in South Dakota House Over Sum For
Bee Inspectors.
Pierre, s. u February 7th: An echo
OF the primary campaign came up in
the house last Friday afternoon over q
little bill to appropriate less than $500
for the expenses and salaries of the
state bee inspectors for the past year.
The bill started general discussion,
and before it was adopted enough time
had been taken up, as one member
stated, to more than pay the whole
amount involved Morris wat afraid
that it would be hard to explain after
the speakers in the last campaign had
all stated that the Taxpayers were not
called upon to pay bee inspectors,
while others attempted to work it out
as a joke until the bookkeepers on the
floor got busy and stopped that fea-
ture. But it did not ger past until
after it had bsen amended TO have the
money appropriated out of the bee in
epection fund instead Of the general
fund
AS George w. Eysn made the bee in
speotorsh'p one Of the leading features
In his csmnsigu arguments, his name
got into the discussion before it had
gone very far, aud every section of the
house had its representative into the
arguments in some phase.

ACTION.

T. w. March, Of Hill City, was In Hot
Springs Monday. enroute home from
Pierre where he had been on short
business mission. In talking with
some Of the business men of the city
he made few remarks regarding the
establishing Of q game preserve in the
Black Hills, this matter being called
to his attention by the fact that some
of the east Of the river counties are
trying to get a bill thru the legislature
sppropriating the larger part of the
100000 fund derived from the game
laws for the purpose of establishing q
fish hatchery at some of the east of the
river towns. In view of the fact that
eighty percent OF this money came
from the Black Hills counties, since
this other matter has been agitated,
the people here feeling that they
should derive at least part of the bene.
fits from their money and have started
the ball rolling for the purpose of es.
tablishing game preserve. The state
has some sixty thousand acres of
school land lying in body extending
west OF Faifburn about eight by twelve
miles square and with plenty of timber
and water which would make an ideal
preserve.
All the Hills counties will ask thru
their representatives is a portion Of
this fund which rightfully belongs to
them for the purpose Of fencing this
land and the stocking of the preserve
after this is accomplished would be
the small part of:the matter.
The business men here at meeting
Monday night expressed themselves as
very much in favor of this project ss

the time of his death.
In 1892 he was married to Mrs. Mary
Penn of Sullivan County, Missouri,
the same year returning with her to his
ranch To this union there was born
one son. who survives his father.
MIR. Bingham was faithful member
of the Christian church from a very
early age, and WAS always on the square
in all his dealings with his fellowmen.
He was one of those big hearted, hardy
pioneers that are growing fewer as the
years pass by and who will soon be
resting beneath the sod over which
they have spent so many happy hours
and endured so many hardships that
the pioneer has to bear.
Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost friend:
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end.
Beyond this vale of tears
There is life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years.
And all that life is love.

Fred Norenberg. of Cascade Springs,

original stock of which he obtained
from trees grown by Judge Levi McGee
of Rapid City. Norenberg, who is q
nurserymsn, gives particular attention
to experimenting and propogating fruit
trees, which are suitable to the Black
Hills. He engrafted the shoots from
Judge McGee's trees on to wild plum
trees. which are abundant in and about
Hot Springs. The trees came into
bearing last fall and produced a prune,
which experts declare the superior of
the fruit raised abroad or in the north.

Judge McGee, the original propaga-
tor of prunes in the Black Hills So.
cured his trees from Oregon about
twelve years ago. They we're of the
Silver variety and grew readily. So
prolific did the ten trees raised by
Judge McGee become that he not only
had an abundance of fruit for his own
use but has sold for period of ten
years about 500 of the surplus bear.

AS the life of q prune tree is of
about the same duration as that of a
peach tree, Judge McGee's trees are
practically out of bearing now.

nouncing them the finest he had ever
encountered in his wide experience.
Prune growers from Oregon. Washing
ton and Idaho also pronounced them
of finer texture, and more palstable
than the prunes grown in those states.
Norenberg has named the prunes
which he propogated on the wild plum
trees the MoGee prune and they are
greatly sought after in Hot Springs.
Judge MCGEE states that had he set
out i've acres of trees when he origin.
ally set his ten trees he would today
be independently wealthy as the trees
bore abundantly each year.
He is now looking for tract of land
and when he finds some to suit him he
will set it to prune trees.

G. C. PARKIN vs. COUNTY
PLAINTIFF SEEKS BY MANDAMAS PRO.
CEEDINCS TO HAVE VOTE RE-
COUNTED.

Judge Levi MoGee, of Rapid City,
came down Monday and heard several
cases argued at q special term of the
circuit court. Among the number was
the case of Mrs. Mary E. Joyce against
the Evergreen Cemetery and Mortuary
Association in which the plaintiff re.
ceived judgement. The case of Perry
}. Moody vs. A. N. Henderson was
tried. The action was brought to re.
cover money on an alleged contract.
JucEett q Adams appeared for Hen
derson and Eastman & Dudley for
Moody. A verdict was returned in
favor of the former.
The principle case to be heard at this
session of the court was that of G. G..
Parkin vs. the county auditor and COM
missioners of Fall River county in
which he seeks by mandamas proceed
iDgs to have the vote of the November
election recounted and contends that
this will show that he and not @. l..
johnson was the duly elected assessor
of the county. The facts in the case
seem to be that the county oanvassing
board counted the total vote of the
county for the organized as we'll as the
unorganized districts and in this case
Mr.. johnson had something better
than two hundred majority. Attorney
Haynes. Of Oelrichs, represented MIR.
Parkin and States Attorney Hedrick
was to have represented the eanvassing
board but owing to his absence. P. F.
Ward had charge of his side of the
case. The testimony was introduced
and the attorneys given some time in
which to prepare briefs as the convass-
ing board contend that the proceedings
brought by Mr.. Parkin are improper
and the question seems to be merely
one of law. Judge MCGEE will render
his decision within the next few weeks.
