This is a bill that p rU1its all the people of the , cClUnty ; to vote on the question of tbe establishmcnt of saloon any p ace in the county. The church j people arc using their . influence . j t9 have the bl ] 1 becomc a J aw while the saloon interests of the slate and brewers are aR activeiy opposing it. ' .

The attorney general - al having secured thc support of t e supreme court will douhtless proceed by securing individua ] convictions , where necessary to , break up the "beef trust. " 'I.'he bills lU the legislature to establish a binding twine factory in the state penitentiary are receiving - ceiving favorable consideration by members of influence in hoth branches. This is a. move in the i right direction. There is no question but a binding twine factory operated bJ the state with practically no expense but 'the machinery and raw material woud ] have a beneficial influence ; , on the p i e of twine in the state. i The reports from the legislat- I ure on thc direct primary bills n. troduced would indicate that the cbances arc very favorable for a law being passed providing for primary nominations in some form. We are of the opinion that such a law would grow in popularity - larity with the people , if not with the office seekers. No dolibt in some cases mistacs ] in nomma- I tion would be made by the primary - mary method , but a greater number - ber would be responsibe ] for tbe , mistake and it woud ] be Hghter to bear. 1 _ ' - - - " Congressman Norris has intro duced a bill in congrcss making- tbe term of the President eight years and that of Congressmen six years.

The number of bills , how : ' everis smaller tban usual , indicating - cating that the members are introducing - troducing only such , as seem to be neccssary , and are not flooding the state with trivial bills for purposes - poses of buncombe. Some of the important matters \1nderconsid ration are as follows : S. F. 30 , by Shreck , providing for county option in the granting of saloon liccnses , so that all th voters of a county may vote on the cstablishing of , a saloon ill any part of the county. It is saiq. tbat the churches and temperance workers over the state have united - ed in support of this bill. H. R. 7 , by Dodge , providing for direct primaries , along tbe lines of the Wisconsin and Min. nesota Jaws. Alilo bills to tbe same effect by Senator Cady and Reprelicntative Mcl\'lullen , tbese two being different from the Dodge bill in tbat they provide for the nomination of U. S. Senator - ator , and do not provide for direct nomination of state officials. They , with many olher members , argue that the important thing i the direct nomination of Senator. Thc Dodge bill omits tbat feature. H. R. 13. by Voter , pro\'idiug for a landlord's lien on crops to lecure the collection of reDt . This bill was killed in tbe House. H.

H. R. 49 , by Ernst , providing for a binc1 n2' twine fuctory at the penitentiar.y , and appropriating $45,000 for the establisl1ment and $50,000 for the running expense of the faclor ) ; . "rbis proposition i5 attractini : ' general attention , and a bill alon'g tbe same line will be pusheu forward in the Senate by Cady , who thinks a committee should investigate the work of similar factories in otber states. It is proposed to work the state prisoners thus without competition - tion witb home labor , and at the same time aim an effcctive blow at the binding twine trust. ' S.

The mattcr of a new apportionment - ment of the state is juat now much discussed. 'l'be last ap. portionmcnt was made fifteen years ago. Now many of the districts co'mpain ] that they are under-represenhd , and that some counties in the older part of the state are two well favor d. The representation in the HouseTanges all the way from 1,300 votes per member in one district up to 6,000 votes per member in another - er district. Some of the S nators represents as high as 50,000 apiece , while others range down as ] ow as 18,000.

The corn-husking ma- chinc will probably be successful1y used by the larger farmers witb- in five years. Two row listers and cultivators have grcatly increased - creased the acreage of corn in Custer County. Still many far- mer3 usc the one row cultivator and a two borse team. The seed corn question 11a been ably diR- cussed by our university men and the press. ' The question , how many acres can one man cultivate well , must be considered by the intelligent farmer. 'I.'he writer i acquainted with three farmers farming in the same neighborhood. Tbe first two farmed about 80 acres sing one row machines. Tbe tbird far- uer hought a two-row cultivator I last spring and laid bis corn by with his machine. He raised more corn than both his fellow farmers. Farmer l1umber three did all bis work 111 his corn until busking timc. He used four borses in culti\'atmc' . After paying for his cultivator ' ( about forty dol1ars ) he wa a thousand bushels of corn ahead. So mucb for his experiment - ment iLtld the l11e ! ' of the extra. two horses. 'Fanning needs skilled laborers as mnch as any business. A few additional doUars invested' ' in up to date machinery would enable mau ) ' of the farmers to be able to build bilrn nctt taU.
