LAHOhTAn WILL HAVE BIG DAY
Extensive Preparations are Be-
ing Made for Next Sunday by
The Lahontan Boys.

Next Sunday will be a gala day at
Lahontan. In addition to the an
nonnced ompson-Lahontan base
ball game, there will be foot races,
tennis tournament and numerous
other forms of athletic sports, all
calculated to prove the superior mus
Gle of the men who build dams. The
baseball game will probably be the
last game of the year between the
two teams, which are as evenly
matched as it is possible, probably,
to get among rival baseball aggre-
cations Each team has one win
over the other and Sundays affair
will determine which is to take two
out of three.
The residents of this community
should go to Lahontan en- mass. The
boys are hospitable up that way, the
day will be highly interesting one
and the sightseeing IS good at the
dam now. Hitherto the dam build
ing camp did net abound in things
spectacular except for the mechanical
mind, appreciatiye of the great plant
that is the real factor in raising the
dam, but now the embankment has
progressed to point, where shape is
being given TO the dam A trip to
Lahontan is always worth while.
Next Sunday trip will be many
times more than worth while and To-
cal folks who fail to avail themselves
Of the opportunity of viewing the
progress of Lahontan events will
probably regret their omission.

COCAINE USERS
Soldiers in the Regular Army
Addicted to the
Drug

Cheyenne. Wyo., March 4.-One hum
bred and ten soldiers. enlisted men
and non commissioned officers of the
Fourth Field artillery and Eleventh
infantry, ate under arrest at Fort
Russell, charged with being habitual
users of cocaine.
A systematic effort to detect other
: 'snowbirds'' who may be among the
enlisted men is a progress. in and it is
probable that 100 victims Of cocaine
will be arrested before the end of the
week.
The soldiers under arrest will be
forced to tell where they have obtained
supplies of the drug and if they refuse
70 testify they will be dishonorably
discharged from the service.
In one company OF the garrison,
twenty-five habitual users of cocaine
have been arrested, and several other
suspects. IRE under surveillance. A
mong the men of this company de-
tected using cocaine is a sergeant with
an excellent record heretofore.
One of the men set to guard the vic
Tins held in the hospital was detected
in the act of slipping cocaine crystals
to one, and when examined by sur
geons was found to be u hapitusl us
er of SNOW" He was relieved from
duty as a guard and assigned TO the
squad of prisoners of which he had
been the guardian.
Major George c. Stull, chaplain of
the Eleventh infantry, has been work
ins for months with the Cheyenne and
federal authorities in an attempt to
trace to its sources the supply Of CO.
caine upon which Fort Russell soldiers
have been depending for the drug.
This source it is believed is in Denver,
there being in Cheyenne local dis
tributers of the drug representing Den

STATE DEMOCRATS
Jockeyins 20 Control Federal
Patronage Richards
Gives Comfort

Pierre, March prom the stand
point of South Dakota democracy the
Wilson administration does not start cut
under suspicious circumstances. Even
at the very moment that the inaugural
services are in progress at Washington
a meeting of standpat democrats of this
state Is being held Mt the court house in
Pierre. seeking for ways and means to
resist the domination of appoiutive
affairs by James E. Coffey and Ed. S.
Johnson.
Among the subjects under considera-
tion is the election of postmasters. as
provided in the presen: primary law,
and the prospects are that this theme
will be taken into court for deter
mination. Some of the democrats al
lied with the Coffey johnson branch of
the party think 1t would be a special
and notorious miscarriage Of justice if
the primary law can be made to apply
to democratic appointives' offices. since
ii was held net to affect the republican
situation this spring.
1t is claimed that Dick Richards is
lending aid and comfort to the demo
cratic standpat wing, and those in the
other camp are urging that the re-
publicans keep Richards from trying
to cover SO much territory. This as
sumption seems to be based TO some
extent on the alliance with the in
surgents of Democratic County Com
mitteeman Clark of Beadle county,
who had previously joined with the
bunch at Aberdeen in taking the posi-
ton that the election of postmaster by
the people is a dangerous and revolu-
tionary procedure.
Notwithstanding the claim that
Dick Richards is helping to promote
this democratic movement, there are a
number of prominent democrats in
the game. including Andy Lee, Tom
Ayres and Dick Lyons, who were
Clark boosters.

GREAT WEALTH
Is a Shield for Hyde, Says E. E.
Wagner of Sioux
Falls

Sioux Falls, March Edward e.
Wagner, of this city, formerly United
States district attorney, who resigned
when Taft respited hyde. the Pierre
blue sky merchant, for using the
mails with the purpose to defrsud, has
prepared a statement in which be sets
forth in detail the misrepresentation
of Hyde's literature circulated in the
east to swindle the unwary. Wagner
d~enounces in vigorous terms the delay
which the administration has permitted
in the case, and suggests that had he
been less than a millionaire the legal
department would have required less
time to reach a case that will tomorrow
be passed without settlement over to
the new attorney general.
Hyde was convicted in December,
1911. The court of appeals confirmed
his conviction in September, 1912,
since which time he has been at liberty
pending the investigation of his
case by Wickersham's department.
The Hyde case has alec been the
cause of the resignation of Robert s.
Sharpe, chief postofice inspector at
Washington, in charge Of the Hyde
investigation. he became disgusted
with tie attitude of the department
of justice toward the case and did
not propose to stultify his career by
remaining a part of an administration
that has shown an inclination tn
discriminate in favor of those with
wealth and influence, as has been
lately manifested in the Hyde and
other cases.
Mr.. Wagner comments on the
clemency which hss been shown the
Pierre real estate man as follows:
"No matter what may be done with
Hyde's application for executive elem
ency now, the action of the administra-
tior in granting Hyde two respites and
thereby keeping him out Of prison
while pretending to consider an appli-
cation for executive clemency while
other persons convicted of crime have
served their time; they have done
much to encourage the sentiment too
often expressed, that persons of wealth
are not smenatle to the penal laws. "
Mr.. Wagner cites in his review of
Hyde's operations about 80 specific in
stances in which the latter collided
with the postal laws concerning fraud
and through which he is said to have
bnilt up the largest fortune in South
Dakota.

THE WEBB LAW
Its Effect on "Dry" States In
Bringing in Liquors

Des Moines, La March 5.-Attorney
General Cosson. who favored the orig
inal Kenyon. Webb bill, when asked for
an opinion of its effect upon Iowa said:
The main point we gain in this bill
is that Ii permits us to seize liquor
which is en- route. For instance, we
have a cas- now on hand where liquor
which was consigned to a lodge at o.
kaloosa was seized at the station on the
ground that it was being shipped to be
used for illegal purposes. TIE law is
not now clear as to whether we had "a
right to seize this liquor. Under the
Webb bill the liquor would be classed
as an illegal shipment and would be
stopped at any point after it was con
signed, provided the shipment was con-
signed to dry territory.
The Webb. hill will catch all clubs.
societies, lodges or parties to whom
liquor is shipped provided these lodges
or clubs are in dry territory. The dis
pensing of liquor by such lodges or
clubs is contrary to law, hence the
liquor is illegally shipped and can be
seized under the Webb bill. The bill
does not prevent the shipment of liquor
from any point outside of Iowa to any
point in Iowa to a private individual
for his own home consumption. 1t
will prevent such shipment to any
person who expects to sell the liquor
and thus it makes the government a
party to the state in getting after the
bootleggers.

BIG SNAKES
Keepers in New York Zoo Have
Lively Experience With
Pythons

New York, March with a dozen
strong men Curator Raymond DitmaIs
went into the snake house at Bronx
Zoo yesterday and opened the door of .
cage containing Selma, a twenty-five
foot python. While she dozed g moose
was slipped over her neck.
Selma has not eaten so much as a
pound of pig for nineteen months. All
that time she has lived OF her fat and
she is still fat and the champion fighter
of her class. Freshly killed pigs and
other tempting snakebits have been put
in her cage since she began her long
fast, but she simply has brushed them
aside with a sweep of her tail. closed
her jaws and shut her eyes in snakely
contempt
But the tying of the moose about her
neck aroused her TO fury. She swung
her tail against the bars of her cell,
wriggled, writhed and fought as only
Selma can fight. More nooses were
got about her slippery body and the
curator gave the older: Slowly,
men. Now pulll'
Gradually Selma was dragged through
the doorway She Topped to the floor
of the b )use and began a series of
contortions. Keeper Michael O'Keefe
got too close to Selina's tail and was
knocked through a window. Next
John Hastings vas sent sprawling.
For two hours the men fought and
tugged before Selma was got into an
other cage Is feet away. Then the
men went back for Fatima, a twenty
four-foot python who weighs 300
pounds. Fatima is tractable and may
be depended upon to devour a pig or
two every ten days. She slid from the
cage as though it were a pleasure to
her aud wriggled along the floor to her
new quarters.
The change in snake quarters was
made so that the old quarters may be
decorated. On the rear of the cage
will be painted a jungle scene and a
flowing river. Selina's refusal to eat
is due to homesickness, it is thought.
and the painting may make her salts
fed with her surroundings.

THE LEGISLATURE
Inauguration Day-Bank Guar
antee Bill-Income Tax
Law

Pierre, March 5.-Tuesday was dem
o~cratic day in the South Dakota leg is
lature. In honor of the Wilson in
augural, Representative Ziebach was
called TO the chair in the house and
Senator Mather in the senate. After
displaying Wilson's picture, democratic
members made speeches and all Joined
in patriotic song.
There was a sharp wrangle in the
senate on the final adoption of the
general appropriation bill, and sharp
exchanges resulted on the subject of
whipping members into line. Senator
Cone said he would not vote for the
bill so long as it contained an appropri-
alton to carry out the Richards primary
law. Chairman Hoese, of the appro.
priations committee. declared that
Senator Cone was merely grand stand
ing.
Five senator's stood pat in opposition
to the omnibus bill on final roll call.
These were Brown, Cone. Hicks,
Mather and Amsden. Mather was
the only democrat in the list.
In the collection of big problems
that have been before the legislature
at this session, comparatively little
attention has been paid to the bill in
trcduced by Representative Bush, of
Day county, making improvements in
the income tax law of this state. The
measure is In line with one OF the
inaugural recommendations made by
iGovenor Byrne.
BY way of comparison with a neigh
boring state, 1t has been pointed out
that the South Dakota income tax
yields about SIS. 900, against a revenue
of $500, 600 secured from that source
in Minnesota. While the possibilities
are conceded to be greater in Minneso.
ia, it is claimed that an adjustment
along the line of the Minnesota law
would give approximately 800. 900 of
income tax in this state.
Harking back to the taxation qnes-
ton, and it's connection with the sub
ject of state income, some interesting
figures are presented from official
sources as to the Homestake Mining
company, located in Lawrence county.
The company g properties In that
county are valued at $50, 600. 900 and
the rate in that county is 8 per cent.
On a basis Of one third valuation, the
ii computed accorded to the standard
basis. The records show, however,
that the company has actually been
paying only 500. 900 a year In taxes.
or an estimated slump of $500, 900 an
nually.
Those on the ground here believe
that the special message of Governor
Byrne had an influence on the house
vote on the bank guaranty bill. The
Morgan bill passed that body Saturday
night by an affirmative vote of so. the
lowest possible vote that would have
carried it through, as there is a mem
bership of 1913 in that branch.
The Morgan guarantee bill is drawn
on the line of allowing optional fea.
lures either assessment, surety bonds
OF deposit of securities.
In view of the attitude shown in
the senate as to the Hale bill, there
still is some question as to whether
the Morgan bill will run the legislative
gauntlet. If ii does not the prospects
are that a guarantee bill will be initi-
| ated.
