DICE AND CARDS HIT
Act Prohibits Playing Of Bridge for
Prizes and Shaking for Cigars"
Senate Puts In an Hour on
Dance Bill.

Pierre.-If the senate adopts house
bill II as it was passed by the house
bridge whist for prizes and shaking
for the cigars will be in the criminal
class, as the bill prohibits any game
of cards, dice or other gambling de-
vices for money or property. y strong
attempt was made to cut Il the prop
erty provision of the bill, but it was
voted down, and the bill went through
as it was introduced.
The house adopted the bill to grant
greater privileges to legislative mem
bers in naming scholarships to vari-
Gus state institutions; sent the game
bill back to the committee for recon
sideration. and the negotiable instru-
ment bill back for a day to see how it
looks with a lot of amendments shear
ing off many of it's principal features.
They passed the bill which prohibits
operation of motor vehicles by any
one under the influence of liquor.
The senate put in an hour of its
time on the house dance bill, and after
many amendments, n to apply it on
ly to house members, it was sent back
for house concurrence.
There was a tangle in the senate
over the senate bill to require county
bonds to be issued for twenty-year pc
RODS, resulting in its going over, and
another on the senate bill to prohibit
~overdrafts, which, after it had been
amended in a number of particulars,
was killed on motion of the introducer.
The Rapid City people find that
they failed in one particular in an or
dinance providing for waterworks eX-
tensions, and they are here with a
bill for this improvement TO allow the
contractor to get his a for work
done.
The insurance and liquor interests
are now especially active. A number
of bills in which they are interested
are reaching the stage where some
thing definite must develop soon.
The insurance men are lighting the
publication bill. with the newspaper
men as active in opposition.

TRUCK GARDENING
AND POULTRY RAISING
THESE, AS WELL AS OTHER
MIXED FARMING BRANCHES,
PAY IN WESTERN CANADA.

Truck gardening and poultry grow.
ing are two branches OF agriculture
in which the farmers nea the main
lines traversing Western Canada are
much concerned. The abundance OF
sunshine during the long days from
May to September, and adequate mois-
ture in the spring and early summer
permit of a wide variety of crops. The
soil is rich and warm and is easily
worked. Close attention to cultiva-
ton has resulted in record yields OF
all sorts of vegetable and small fruits
which bring good prices in the cities
and at the numerous railway construc.
ton camps.
Mr.. Harris Oium, an Alberta farmer,
came from South Dakota eleven years
ago and h~omesteaded the first $50
acres in his township in 1902, which
was divided between grain and pas
ture. He earned sufficient money to
buy a quarter section of railway land
at $11 an acre. The half section netted
proportionate profits and he gradually
increased his holdings to 1920 acres,
WulCu Was OcNOlSu W lliACu Lii
last year.. He values his land at 500
an acre.
Mr.. Oium markets from 100 to 125
hogs and a similar number Of beef
cattle each year. He has 200 hogs,
mostly pure bred Poland China, 25
head draft horses and 35 head of pure
bred Hereford cattle. BY feeding bar
ley to hogs he estimates that the grain
nets him 80 cents a bushel, as COM
pared with 40 cents, the average mar
ket price when delivered to the ware
house. His average crop Of barley is
40 bushels to the acre, while oats av-
erage 80 bushels.
BY writing any Canadian Govern
ment Agent, full particulars as to best
districts on which to secure home
steads will be cheerfully given.-Ad-

ALBAN|KSFEUDC0D
Nation Where the Rifle Takes
Place of Law.
Sixty to Eighty Per Gent. Of the Malo
Inhabitants of Little Kingdom
Are Killed in Personal
Warfare.

Scutari, Albania.-Today the Jaw
of the Albanian lands is neither Chris
tian nor Koranic, but there Is a code
Of the mountains as unalterable as
were the laws Of the Modes and Per-
SLAMS, which, at least until quite re-
Gently, was unwritten. This code Duka-
gin, so called from the princes OF a fam
lily who so long ruled ristricts Of
Albania and which had been generally
accepted by the leading men of other
clans and flags, is transmitted by ira
dition in certain families which have
~arrOgated to themselves the rights
and privileges of c~ustodians of the
law, n who are as we'll the pos
SCISSORS of certain variants of the
Homeric songs, the only true versions
they claim. The questions treated in
this mountain code, Stephen Bonsal
writes in the North American Review,
are certainly not novel and somewhat
monotonous to the dweller of cities.
Provision is made against the stealing
Of animals and trespassing on land.
However, these matters invariably
lead to, if they do not end in, muir
der, and the dockets of the noun
tain court are rarely crowded. The
rifle has generally done it's work be-
fore the pleadings are made before
the court of elders, but the law of
the blood feud or vendetta which is
also set forth in this code is as in
teresting Is it is wonderfully intri-
cate.
When it is remembered that 60 per
cent Of the Albanians are killed in
feuds and personal warfare and that
in some districts these terrible figures
run up to so per cent, it may be readi-
1y understood how absorbingly inter-
esting these laws Of the vendetta are
to the Albanian boy when in his
twelfth year he has his head shaved
and become a possible target for
any one at feud with his family or
with his cousins ten times removed.
The law of the mountain, according
to the code Dukagin, says blood that
has once flowed cannot be lost or
forgotten. 1t must be wiped out with
more blood, but two serious wounds
are the equivalent of one dead man
and under these circumstances the
feud can be set aside. He who has
fired on an enemy without hitting him
is not only discredited but has taken
his enemy's honor as is The express
sion of the country, and he must and

Julius Caesar.

The almost unanimous verdict OF
ancient and modern times is to the eff
feet that julius Caesar was what
Shakespeare calls him: The fore
most man of all this world. Never
before or since has any n exhibit
ed in SO high a degree all the quail
tiles of a born ruler of men. And
never had any man a grander role to
play. To preside over the most i'm
portant crisis in the history of the
most important branch of the human
race was a task hat none but the
greatest of men could successfully
perform. Caesar swept n obstacle
after another aside, and stood at last
where he meant to stand.

WOULD CHANGE COMET
 CITY TO KENSINGTON

Manager James R. Whipple has de- termined to change the name of Com ct City to Kensington. Comet City was at one time known as Seward. When the postoffice was established at the place the name Seward had been seized upon as the designation of so many localities in Alaska that Com ct City was selected as the name of the place. After the closing of the mines the postofIice was discontinued. An effort will be made at once to es- tablish a new postofIice and as Ken sington is so frequently applied to the place on account of the mines the ar gument is advanced that it would be the more proper name for the post office
