Former Codington
County Pioneer Dead

Word was received in this city
last week of the death of O. o. Jacobs,
a former pioneer resident of Cooling
ton county but for several years a
resident of Gilroy, California.
Last September, Mr.. Jacobs was
the victim of an unusual attack of a
COW, which running loose down the
street invaded the yard of his home
and attacked Mr.. Jacobs when he at
tempted to drive it away. Several of
his ribs were crushed and his collar
bone dislocated by the enraged ami
NAL. He partially recovered from the
injuries when blood poison set in,
which was followed by other compli-
cations and which made his condition
at such an advanced age critical.
He never fully recovered from these
injuries.
Mr.. Jacobs came to Codington coun-
ty with his family from Watertown,
N. Y, June 10, 1882, and settled on a
farm south of this city. In the fall of
1888 he moved to a new home west
Of Lake Kampeska where he lived III
til a few years ago when he removed
to this city and later to Gilroy, Cal.
He was a member of the local Elk
herd, and his death is mourned by
the local lodge. He was also widely
known all over the county and leaves
many warm friends near Kampeska,
his old home.
The deceased is survived by three
sons and a daughter, Mrs. George
Stone of Gilroy, Cal. A son, w. c.
Jacobs lives in Casey, MINI, ]. w.
Jacobs in Shedd, Ore. while the third
is B. J. Jacobs of the Farmers Eley-
ator company of Waterfowl. The
funeral was held at Gilroy.

Mitchell Wins Out
in Telephone Case

Holding that the operation Of a
municipal telephone system in South
Dakota is for a public purpose, Judge
Robert B. Trip Of Yankton has dis
missed the Injunction suit brought to
restrain the city Of Mitchell from
building the 100000 plan voted at lie
special election last June.
This is the first ruling on the leg
jslative act of 1907 permitting cities
70 engage in the telephone business.
Judge Trip also held that a majority
OF The votes cast at the special cleo
ton was sufficient to carry the vote
on the bonds.
The case will be carried to the
supreme court. The decision is the
latest development of a three-year
hight between the city and the Dakota
Central Telephone company.

History First White
Settler in the State

Mr.. Joseph Garreau, the first per-
mafent white settler in this state,
like many who have come here since,
was induced to settle down among us
in the year 1927 by the extremely
LIBERAL exemption laws and so pleased
was he with the social and economic
conditions prevailing here that not
withstanding the earnest solicitations
of admiring creditors in st. Louis he
could never again be prevailed upon
to leave our jurisdiction.
He made his first settlement in
Stanley county, perhaps at the Phillip
buffalo pasture but later went to the
Arickara village near Little Bend and
in 1894 followed the Rees to Grand
River. Trudeau says the Rees nat
urally classed white men as divinities
but they learend from Garreau's con-
duct that they we're dissolute, prodi-
gal and wicked.
Lewis and Clark respectfully called
him Mr., Garrow' and he showed
them how the Rees made glass beans
by pounding obsidian into pumice and
then melting it. On their return they
speak Of him as Interpreter Gar
row.
Washington Irving, describing him
from the testimony Of Wilsond Price

The following writeup appeared in

ferred to, Claire Kemp:
G. F. Kemp, manager of the auto
mobile supplies and toy departments

locks.
Among the supplies he will pur-
chase Tor the big store which he rep
resents will be toys, dolls, English
baby perambulators, baskets, automo-
bile robes and English coats.
Mr.. Kemp gives the credit for the
fact that he is n Of the youngest
foreign buyers representing big mer-
camille firms to his mother, who, he
says, encouraged him to take rel
sponsibilities in his youth.
In speaking of his rapid rise, MIR.
Kemp said mfr. Bullock has given
me an opportunity, which, I am sure
but few young men ever have. His
confidence in me, together with his
strict discipline and Kindness, have
done much to advance me to where
I am today, getting six and one-fourth
times the salary at which / started

young men. Mr.. Kemp said:

DEMOCRATS LOSING GROUND.

The New York Evening Post is /;
great independent journal that has
been, in the main. friendly TO the Dem
ocrats. II is significant therefore that
this paper sees signs of Democratic
slump at the coming election. The
Post says:
AN analysis of the congressional
elections OF 1912 and of the by-elec-
| tons since then and n study of the re-
districting done i'm various states have
persuaded some Of the Progressive and
Republican leaders that there is an ex-
| cellent chance to win the house in No
vembcr and overcome i'm that body the
present democratic majority of I45.
Several political and psychological
elements enter into their calculations.
They point To the fact that i'm any off
year election the party in power always
loses ground; that no party in recent
years has enacted tariff legislation
without being "rebuked" for il at the
next congressional election, excepting
only the Republicans, after the passage
of the Dingley law, which was followed
so closely by the Spanish American
war and a revival of prosperity follow
ing "a financial drought that forced the
tariff issue into background; that the
breach between the Republicans and
Progressives is not so wide as it was
in some states in 1912. and the hope |
among the leaders that the swing of |
the pendulum this year is against rath-
er than for the party i'm power.
Much remains to be done by the ad-
and by this congress
which has a direct bearing on the con-
sressional election in November. The
settlement Of number of
veXing problems might materially
'hange the political aspect in various
sections of the country so as to neces-
state complete revision of the fig
ares now set down by some of the
'oothsayers in the house as illustrative
If present conditions. The fact re-
Mains, however, that the Democrats in
congress believe at this moment that
hey are in at the November elections. |

CALUMET SHOWS INTEREST
IN PROPOSED HOLDING co

That Calumet is taking a lively in
terest in the project TO organize a
holding company to bring new indus
tries to the copper country was shown
by the large attendance at last even
ing's mass meeting and the endorse
ment OF the proposition by every IN n
present.
1t is practically certain there will 5e
no difficulty in raising the one hun
dred thousand dollars required to H.
nance the proposed company.
1t is recognized by the citizens Of
the community that new industries
must be provided to give employment
to young men and women in order to
keep them here and make them use
full citizens. This is the particular
need not only of Calumet but every
other town i'm the district.
1t ought not to be necessary for a
wage Garner with a family of several
grown boys and girls to leave the cop
per country for some place whepe his
sons and daughters may find work.
But many have had to leave for that
very reason. AS one man put it last
night, Calumet is spending $225O00
a year TO educate young men TO send
them TO Detroit TO make automobiles,
and it is time we were doing some
thing for ourselves.
a holding company, which would
invest in legitimate industries, would
be reasonably sure to pay dividends,
but even though not a cent was re-
turned the shareholders would be
more than repaid by the resultant
community benefit. through the en-
ployment of hundreds of men and
women.
once a start is made and three or
four new industries are brought into |
the district ii will be easier to get |
others. New concerns will be attract
ed by the success attained by their
predecessors. We have the advant-
age OF a market for many articles
which can be made here I'VE have the
available labor; we have cheap fuel.
cheaper by twenty-five or thirty per
cent than in some manufacturing dis
tricts where there is an all-rail haul;
and we have the community spirit
which will patronize home concerns.
The opportunities are here-and the
time is surely coming when the copper
country will not be putting "all it's
eggs in one basket"
