New Court House.
The Following is Taken from the Sum
nit Independent.

There is some little talk down
in Grant county about building a
new Court house and taking a
vote on the proposition this fall.
The question was voted upon
seven years ago and as we re-
member defeated by about 16O
votes. At the time it was voted
Grant county had something
like $4,000 worth of bonds out
standing and the people were
not IN as good a condition tinan-
cially as at present. While the
Independent is a Roberts county
paper and the question of a
court house in Grant county
does not concern it directly it
has a larger circulation in the
reservation towns than any
other paper and for the benefit
Of it's readers it will feel at liber-
ty to make a few comments
should occasion require.
That the present court house
is a disgrace to the county is
generally acknowledged and that
a substantial court house would
reflect credit upon the county
besides giving the county Off
cials decent place to do busi-
ness in does not need any dis
cussion. We understand the
county will be out of debt this
fall so it could sell bonds at low
rate and the interest on the
bonds would be so small an item
that no taxpayer would notice it.
Farmers have improved their
farms and added better build.
ings. The people in towns have
built better houses and improved
their premises and all the towns
in Grant county have improved
their streets and made various
public improvements. In fact
everything in Grant county has
gone ahead and left the old court
house stranded high and dry as
a relic of a past age. There is no
more argument in the claim that
Milbank would benefit by it than
there IS ii An ARGUMENT that
Washington would benefit by any
new public buildings. The
whole question is whether the
county needs it and whethe.. they
can afford it. We can conceive
but one answer to these ques-
tions.

BURGLARY
Robbers Break Into the Mittelstaedt.
Store and Take Sl5O and Cash
Slips and Checks

On Saturday night, July 4th,
burglars secured an entrance in
to the Mittelstaed's store, break
ing a window in the rear of the
building to do so. The screen Of
the window was cut with a knife
and the glass broken with two
big coal clinkers, which we're
found in the store.
The safe had been left on the
day lock and was easily opened,
and about $3.50 in money some
cash slips and checks were Sc
cured by the burglars, but no
other goods were taken.
The robbery was done between
10:3O and Il o'clock in the even
leg. as Ed Murray the night po-
liceman went through the alley
in the rear of the building after
10 o'clock, and noticed nothing
out of the way, but upon his Sec
ond trip, about IL o'clock he
found the window broken and
that the work had been done.
He notified Mr.. August Mittel-
staedt and with the assistance of
Chief of Police Sutcliffee an in
vestigation was started, but the
operators had made good their
getaway. The noise and the
Fourth of July celebrating gave
the burglars good chance to
operate. Mr.. A. E. Seitz who
was in his barber shop heard the
noise of the breaking glass, and
Joseph Roggenback and Mr..
Meyers in the Roggenback Office
also heard the noise, but conclu.
ded that it was just some Of the
celebrants on their way home,
and did not make any investiga.

pered with what they call the
"Jlm Hill mustard, : and where
this is the case the crop is not
promising The spread of this
pest is caused by bad farming
operations. There is always lots
of this in a new country, where
much Of the land rented out, the
plowing on many Of the fields
being done at the wrong time to
exterminate weed pests. And
by the way, much Of the plow-
ing on these bench lands is done
by gas tractors with six or sew
en- plows.
This dry farming is yet in a
state of development, with great
possibilities, and though it is no
lazy mans job, there are many
who are making it pay well,
and the lands are steadily in
creasing in value. To one who
has been accustomed 10 the sec
tion line roads of South Dakota
the highways here are one of
the peculiarities of the country.
No attempt is made to keep the
roads on the section lines; the
innumerable hills and benches
will not permit of that, but the
highways are made to conform
to the lay Of the land and wind
around the hills and throug the
valley to make the ascent as
gradual as possible, and even
then there is some going up
and going down. This makes
drive over the country a constant
panorama of scenic beauty that
would charm the dullest eye.
The clear, light air of this
altitude, which even in the
valley here is 4145 feet above
sea level, gives you long dis
tance view of things that is cal
culated to deceive one as to dis
tance, and the snowy peaks 30
to so miles away appear to be
close at hand
Another one of the peculiarly
striking features of this noun
tain country is the sudden drop
in temperature just as soon as
the sun gets down behind the
hills in the evening No mat
ter how hard old sol may
have poured down upon you
in the dav you commence to
wonder where your overcoat is
before dark sets in, and then you
feel the necessity for blanket
and quilt at bedtime. In fact
these June evenings are really
uncomfortably cool unless one
is moving about. It is these
cool nights that makes the
climate poor one for corn rails
ing. but it is great provocative
of sleep for human critters, and
if we ever have to prescribe for
anyone afflicted with insomonia,
we certainly will advise him to
get out into Montana, and we
will guarantee him cure or no
pay for our advice. It is certain
ly great country in which to
eat and sleep. We never have
had any very serious trouble for
the lack OF appetite, even in
Dakota, but we hasten to assure
any of our friends who may be
solicitous for our welfare in this
matter that the Montana climate
has not injuriously affected US in
the least, and while at the table
| receive many threatening looks
and an occasional kick on the
shins from my beloved compan-
ion-in arms, who does not like to
have me linger SO long on the
bread line or work too indus
triously with the table impli-
ments. These guardian angels
are great institutions for our pro
lection. This article is already
too long, and word or two we
wish to say about our Grant
county friends located here will
be reserved for next week. to
gether with the real facts of how
