KADOKA, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 1910
Startling Figures Again South Dakata. Much of this is di e
to the extensive advertising done by
the railreads and other enterprising
parties during the past few years, and
the opening of the free homestead
lands, but it is not entirely due to the
idea that here one can obtain some-
thing for nothing. People generally,
know that things which are given
away now-a-days have a joker string-
tied to them somewhere.

statements in regard to the financial
standing of Stanley county based up-
on the sworn statement of the county
auditor to which the editor of the
Belvidere Times takes exception and
accuses us of fibbing, or in other
words of lying wilfully.
Now we are willing to take the
county treasurer’s rnd auditor’s state-
ments as correct and we do not care
to indulge in the figure juggling pro-
position to the extreme indulged in
by the Belvidere editor. He knows
very well that the figures submitted
are correct, but by a few peculiar
statements and juggles he wishes to
make his readers believe that black
is white. Can he do it?
To take his statements let us see
what he says of the item of the audi-
tor’s statement which shows §70,457,-
20 of unpaid tax for the years 1892 to
1907 inclusive.
“This taxes is yet more hopeless
than money loaned to a friend. It
dates back So years was a personal
levy on range cattle and the beef has
long since been eaten and their hides
long since worn out as shoe leather.
This fund would build pretty tlimsey
court houses. Doubtless the county
treasurer would be overly pleased if
he could realize onlv §IOOO out of the
whole lump.”
This is his statement, yet we note
from the statement cf the auditor
dated March 31, that some §22,997,60
was collected during the quarter.
How does that look a* compared with
Bro. Rev. Clough’s mfcAuly guesswork
thousand.
Then he coolly chops the court
house and fixtures fund' which figures
as a resource of §35,000 down to §7,000
and takes that as a basis for figuring
the resources of the county.
Then he takes the total of uncollect-
ed tax and the cash in the treasury’
which he figures at $359,£68.01 and
devided by five as he says onlv one
fifth is county money. When he
knows that that is not a true state-
ment.
The Press is not willing to retract
any of its statements and still insists
that the resourses of Stanley’ county
exceed the liabilities.
Mr. Clough invites the publication
of the county treasurer’s statement
of the county funds and we herewith
publish the same:

Bro. Clough is willing to allow as the
total resources of the county.
The Last West.
Few people of the east have any-
thing near a conception of what they
willfind when they come west. “Way
out west” is to the ordinary easterner
a mythical something, which seldom
takes a tangible form but just pre-
sents to their minds a panorama of
constantly changing scenes, vary ing
from an impregnable wilderness to
the wild stretching plains, and on to
the rugged mountains with then-peaks
reaching up beyond the snow line.
It is the great west which produces
gold in abundance, bountiful harvests,
cattle, cowboys, coyotes, Indians,
droughts, blizzards, and some liars.
And speaking of the latter product,
it is not a native of this section, but
the seed was introduced a good many-
years ago, and the climate and Soil
were conducive to a liberal growth,
and no doubt before long the
also boast of producing its fullsftere
of to the order of Ananias.
South Dakota is one of the best ad-
¦ vertised states in the Union. Every*
where you go people are talking about
This spring there are hundreds of
homeseekers coming to South Dakota
and other western states who have
never been here pefore. It is inter-
esting to note what the first impres-
sions of the different people are.
Same expect to find a veritable wilder-
ness, with only a scattering claim
shanty or rancher, while others ap-
pear to wonder wonder why the coun-
try is not settled up as eastern lowa,
Illinois, or other old farming sections.
Well, there is a reason, both why it
is and why it “taint,” and the reason
is too obvious to require going into
detail.
It has been truly said that “we are
at the eve of the lust great west.”
In another generation there will be
no east nor west, except as an indi-
cation for locating one place from an-
other. At the rate that population is
pouring into the west, the prices of
land are bound to go higher, and with
the high valuation will come the im-
provements and intensive cultivation,
which has been the experience of all
older sections. When Horace Greely
said, -‘Go west young man, and grow
up with the country,” the west was
as it is now, but the wisdom of the
advice is just as sound as itwas then
Harry Wentzv in Pukwana Press.
The mother who allows" a 16 year
old daughter to float around the town-
ship in a top buggy until 2 a. m. with
a counterfeit sport of weak jaw and
; weaker morals, only opens the front
• door to grief and disgrace. If you
don’t know what company your girl
keeps or what time »>f night she turns
in, your roar when the gossips get
busy will sound about as pathetic as
the wheeee from a jewsharp. The
girl*who insists on spooning with
everybody in the corjorate limits
| ought to be backed into the woodshed
and relieved ot her overflow of affec-
tion with a No. 11 slipper haid care-
lessly across her hiplets. We would
sooner see a girl kiss a blind shoat
through a barb-wire fence than have
her change partners she nights a week
in the front parlor with the lights
turned low. It is harder to marry off
a girl who has been pawed over by
every yap in the community than it
is to fatten a sheep on pineapple juice.
You can’t gold-brick a sharp-eyed
suitor with second-hand goods any
more than you can fit a bathrobe on
a goat. There are lots of weak-mind-
ed parents who are going up against
the judgement day with about as
much show as a cross-eyed girl in a
beauty show, and their children will
rise up and call them blessed withthe
enthusiasm of a one-legged man at a
club dance.—X.

depenent ticket was filed with the
town clerk after our paper was print-
ed on Thursday night. This ticket
named as candidates for town trustees
the present board. J. A. Jones, J. L.
White and Victor Wolff.
There was also considerable talk on
the question of licence and no license
and there were those who predicted
that the result "would be close, not-
withstanding a 3 to 1 vote last year.
License carried by a vote of 55 to 17.
There was a total of 73 votes cast,
the vote on town officers being as
follows:
Trustee for Ist District,
J. C. Pease 34

The newly elected officials willqual-

The new board have several import-
ant matters to carry out during the
coming year. The principle proposi-
tion is that of waterworks. The pres-
ent board has had the matter under
consideration but have been blocked
by legal difficulties which made defi-
nite action impossible. It is to be
hoped that these difficulties may be
removed and that the waterworks
question can be worked out in the !
near future. The town hall question
is also up to the new lioard for their I
action and it remains to be seen what I
steps will be taken.
The old board have made an envi-1
able record in the matters of town
improvements. No town west of the ,
river, of its age, has better sidewalks, !
cross walks and street lights than has |
Kadoka and we are all proud of this '
fact.
The new board is composed of men j
who have the interests of the town at I
heart and we have no doubt will lend |
their best energies to bring about
needed improvements in our city.
The election is over and the differ-
ences of our people have been settled
lor another year. Let every resident
of our fair little city meet on a com-
mon level and work for our town and
to make Kadoka the best town in
this part of the country. Lets all be
boosters.

i phy?.iated by coal gas at their home
|in this city. They retired for the
| night as usual and during the night
’
Mrs. Reidinger awakened feeling faint
| and aroused her husband. He man-
I aged to get the windows and door
1 open and called a doctor and soon the
danger was past. The stove pipe of
j the hard coal stove had slipped out
|of the chimney and thus the house
j had become full of gas. Mr. and Mrs.
Reidinger and Miss Mary Sima who
|is staying with them were all very
, sick from the effects of the gas, but
under the doctor’s care were soon
resusticated and in a day or two will
feel as well as ever.
It was a close call however and

a similar experience again.
Mother’s Day.
“A mother’s love is the golden link
that binds youth to age; and he is
still but a child, however time may
have furrowed his cheek or silvered
his brow, who can recall with a soft-
ened heart, the fond devotion or the
gentle eludings of the best friend that
God ever gave us.”—Bovee.
In appreciation of the tender regard
in which we all hold our Mothers and
in consideration of the beautiful cus-
tom, which has recently become,
established of observing one day in
each year as “Mother’s Day and in
further appreciation of the value to
the nation of perpetuating such a cus-
tom, I, Robert S. Vessey, Governor
of the State of South Dakota, do here-
by set apart as Mother’s Day,
SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1910,
and I respectfully request and recom-
mend thattheday beobterved through
out the Commonwealth. I especially
urge that appropriate addresses and
sermons be given in the various
churches, and the white, flower, the '
symbol of Motherhood, be much in
evidence.
At the mention of the word ‘Mother,’
visions of youth and innocence come
back to us from the dim vistas of the
past and we again scent the fragrance
of the lilacs and the roses of the long
ago.
It seems fitting that we should <•:
deavor to show our respect, love and
reverence for the Mother who has
been with us, shoulder to shoulder, on
our journey through the valley of
childhood and youth—cheering us
when wo were victorious and always
loyal and sympathetic, even when we
suffered defeat.
If your mother is with you, show
that you appreciate her. If you have
only a glorious memory, cherish it.
