TWELFTH CIRCUIT JUDGE

Huron Huronite: 1t commonly
happens that good friends part when
it comes to division of the spoils
In the Balkans the parting was &C
companied by bloodshed in large
quantities. In the 18th judicial cir
cult there have been no sanguinary
consequences, though the hearts of
many statesmen are bad.
A meeting of the bar members OF
the circuit was held at Mobridgs for
the purpose of selecting successor
to Judge Carpenter, the meeting be-
promoted by P. j. Tscharner, who
had favorite candidate and suppos-
ed he could put him through.
The meeting developed a majority

APPLE CROP IS LARGE

Immigration Commissioner McCaf-
free returned yesterday morning from
his trip to the Black Hills part of the
state with the Black and Yellow path
finders. He put in two days in that
part of the state visiting the apple or
chards, and found fair crop in the
Spearfish valley and the Robertson or
chard in the hills west of Hot Springs,
with over thousand bushels of fine
apples. the feature in this orchard be-
ing that it is handled entirely by ''dry
farming" methods, the ground being
narrowed after every shower, and that
with no water to be found on the tract,
the trees are thrifty and bearing heav-
lily on high and dry hillside. 1t is an
evidence of what can be done in that
line with proper handling and care Of

THE MESSAGE TOMORROW

Huron Huronite, 25: The presump-
tion is INDUCED in that the message
President Wilson was to have read to
congress today and postponed until
tomorrow under hope shat the Mex
lean provisional government would
agree to the terms proposed by the
United States contains recital of
important facts bearing on the stu
alton.
That the message was withheld
over Sunday and Monday is evidence
OF an intention on the part of the ad-
mlnistration to give Huerta every op-
portunity to comply with the sugges-
tions of this country, which. if fol-
lowed, will bring peace to his dis
tracted country.
Great Britain, France and japan
have advised the Mexican provisional
president accept the Mexican provis.
ional president accept the good offices
of the United States. The president
insists upon constitutional election
in Mexico and that Huerta shall not
be candidate for the presidency.
Thus far the acting president of
Mexico has refused to comply with
the requirements Of this country and
should he continue to refuse until to-
morrow, the message of President
Wilson will be given to congress and
the public.
