RICHARDS WARNING TO
THE POLITICAL PARTIES

Pierre, S. DIR. o. Richards is
circularizing the state with requests
to the proposal" committeeman to
hold the regular meeting at the CAPT
toll in January, and lame candidates
for the majority and minority candi-
dates of the parties for the next
campaign, regardless of what action
may be taken by the supreme court,
and with the assurance that if the
state supreme court holds against
the Richards" primary law, the list
of candidates so selected may be
placed upon the ballot by petition
under the legislative act, and be in
shape to make a campaign as a solid
ly lined up ticket, regardless of who
may be selected at the primary which
would be held under the legislative
act, in cas- both the state supreme
court and the United States court
may do on the action which he de-
clares he will bring in the United
States court in case the state su,
preme court should hold with the leg
~islative act. His position is that in
case the United States court should
hold for his act, the selections made
by proposal men in January would
be the regular" ticket, as against
any nomination which might be made
later under the provisions of the leg
islative act.

Pierre, s. D.-IThe program for the
meetings OF the dffferenb branches
of the state education Association
which meets in Aberdeen on Noyem.
Der 22-24. have been arranged, and
show that the discussions trend to
the matters OF elimination of surplus

of the country. Another feature is
the use Of the school as a social cen

It is proposed to changesthe consti.

vide for the selection Of oficers and

The New Band: Its
Hopes and Aspirations

That there will be plenty Of mater
ial for the Fourth Regiment band in
the future is very evident from the
number of young men about the city
who are at present engaged in band
work.
The first rehearsal of the band or
ganized by Wright Tarbell with John
Iyanusch as leader was held in the
city hall last Thursday evening and
brought fourth enough bandmen to
form a very creditable organization
before the winter is over.
The object of this particular or
ganization is to develop musicians of
sufficient ability to provide e ma
teral for the old band from time to
time as new members may be needed.
The promoters are also encouraging
the young men of the city to master
some of the instruments particularly
needed in the Fourth Regiment band
and already there is a good sized
class of beginners taking lessons
from various music teachers of Wa
tertown.
In order that these new musicians
may be eligible for positions in the
old band, Mr.. Ivanusch is instrueting
his pupils in high pitch" instead of
slow Pitch After learning in low
pitch it is very difficult to change to
high pitch which is used by the
Fourth Regiment band and which is
one of the factors that has contribut-
ed toward the success of that organ
ization in their street and concert
work.

Col. Geo. A. Dodds
Defends California

The Saturday News has received a
letter from Colonel George A. Dodds,
formerly one Of Watertown's enter,
prising merchants, now in business
at South Pasadena, California, in
which the colonel says that he has
noticed many slams" at California by
South Dakota people who have visited
the fair, one in particular being a
statement to the effect that the only
crop successfully raised in the west
ern coast state is fieas.
"EoW." continues Colonel Dodds,
I have lived here five years and have
yet to feel my first flea"
And to show how ignorant, in re-
! gard to CALIFORNIA; agricultural crops
this man is, I enclose you a clipping
showing Off ial figures from Wash
ington (~oficial census), therefore
correct, showing that Los Angeles
county is first, in all the United States
in crop-prOduceing value"
Referring to the bands visit to the
coast, and other advertising which
South Dakota has received, the colo
mel says that the state has reason to
feel somewhat "chesty' over her ex-
%periences in California this summer
land former South Dakotans, living
here, are justly proud of the good old
state but they don't like the slams,
mostly untrue, that are printed in
your papers,"
Concerning the prevailing belief
that the exposition has been a fnan-
cial failure. Colonel Dodds AYERS that
on October 1st, with two months to
go on, the exposition was entirely out
of debt and had five hundred thous-
and dollars in the treasury, hence,
mot such a failure, after ALL"
The writer concludes by saying
that all the Watertown people resid-
ing in the vicinity of Pasadena are
we'll and enjoying almost perfect
weather.
The clipping referred to, showing
Los Angeles county's crops, is as fol
lows, being a dispatch from Washing
ton, D. c.;
"Of the five counties in the United
States which produce crops of great
est value, two are on the Pacific coast
two in the middle west and one east
of the Alleghenies. They are an:
nounced by the census bureau to be
the following: Los Angeles county,
California, whose crop is worth $14,-
720,884 a year; Whitman county,
Washington, $12,540, 694; Mclean

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.

There is an ancient custom, in In

King George of England visits that
country Don The king will be
weighed against masses of gold in
the balance, and the bullion will be
coined and given to the poor. The
total cost of the ceremony is esti.
mated at about 100000, but close
figuring against the weight of King
George, would place the value of the
bullion at about 100000. While they
