WHY THEY BURN
South Dakota Burning Bluffs said 10
BE Due 10 Oxidation.

Pierre. Dec 15-Recently there
has been some newspaper discussion
as to the cause OF the burning
bluffs along the Missouri river. Some
time ago the department of history
undertook an investigation Of the
subject and secured the views of a
number of biologists. The most COM
prehensiye is from DR.. James T..
Todd. former state geologist and now
of the University of Kansas. DR..
Todd says:
Il have no doubt il is due to the
oxidation of iron pyrites. There is
an abundance of that material in the
unexposed shales. AS erosion causes
fresh cracks from time to time, the
air enters and oxidation goes on 50
rapidly as to decompoee the pyrite
and set the sulphur on fire.
The burning bluff" exists in sew
eral points opposite Vermillion and
Wheeler When Lewis and Clark
came up the Missouri, 100 years ago,
they ehronicled in their journal that
they were going to get of their boat
and explore and examine the volcano
reported TO be in this region.

REPEAL OF RICHARDS PRIMARY

OUT A STATE ORGANI-

Pierre, Dec. 8, 1915.-Mr George
Philip, Attorney, Fort Pierre, 5. D
Dear Sir: / have before me your of
ficial inquiry:
Il was elected to the office of state
central committeeman from Stanley
county under the provisions of the
Richards primary law. | would like
to get your opinion as TO the effect
OF the repeal of the Richards primary
law by the act of the last legislature
on party organizations under the
Richards law First, do | still hold
the office of state central committee
man under the Richards primary law,
and second, what are my rights and
duties?"
Replying thereto. | would state
that the repeal of chapter 210, laws
of 1911, known as the Richards law,
abolishes the office of state central
committeeman in question, and that
since chapter 25S, laws of 1915, took
effect that office has not been in ex-
istence and the rights and duties con-
ferred and imposed upon that office
by the 1911 act cannot be enforced at
this time The 1915 act carried no
saving clause and the effect of that
statute is to wipe out all prior pri-
mary acts and abolish offices created
by it, The general rule is that when
an act of the legislature is repealed
without saving clause it is consid-
cred, except as to transactions past
and closed, as though ii had never
existed.
