MitcheH-Pierre Line.

Pierre.-Iseports from the country
southeast Of here, indicate that the
promotion work on the proposed Mitch.
ell and Pierre line OF railway is being
pushed along by G. w. Adams of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, the promoter of the line.
He is working to secur aid from farm.
ers and towns along the proposed line,
and has been working through the
winter largely in Buffalo county, and
is receiving enthusiastic support from
residents Of Gam Valley, who have
desired a rail connection with the out.
er world for many years, and see in
this movement an opportunity to gain
this desire. The commercial club of
Mitchell and Pierre have pledged
support to the movement, and as such
q line would traverse a scope Of coun.
try which is distant from any existing
railways, the people are anxious to
e success attend the efforts of the
movement.

Status Of Recent Convention.

Attorney General Caldwell has Civ
en- an opinion which puts the Demo
cratic convention at Mitchell, on the
oath, somewhat in the air. His holding
is the action of the legislature in put
ting new life into the old political or
CARNATIONS of the state, was a consti-
tutional and valid right of theirs, and
that until the provisions Of the new
primary, the old committees are the
only legal authority OF the parties.
His holding is based on his contention
that the legislature has power to ap-
point or elect any official Of the state,
who is not a constitutional officer, and
that in validating the old committees
they were absolutely within their
rights. This action means that the old
state chairman. in this particular case,
DR.. Rock Of Aberdeen, are the legal
party organization Of the Democrats.
and that the state committee selected
ct the Johnsen-Gandy meeting on the
Path, at the second Democratic meet.
Ing has no legal existence. and that
30 far as party action IL concerned
from o until the new committeeman
are selected at the primary in May,
the Rock faction is tho one which is
to decide what shall be done In the
Democratic politics Of South Dakota.

Pierre.-Doane Robinson has re-
turned from Washington, D. c., where
he went to ascertain the possibility Of
securing the assent Of congress to the
development of q water power by
means of a tunnel at Big Bend, below
Pierre. 1t is hoped the government
will permit a diversion OF about 5000
second-feet at this point, which would
prouce about 5000 horsepower. The
project is much complicated by the
pending general dam bill, and no as
surance Of success could be given.
Mr.. Candy, however, introduced a bill
giving the assent of congress to the
Missouri River Power company, which
is a local corporation organized in the
hope of securing the water right for
the benefit of central Dakota.
