In its monthly bulletin, directed to its employes, the Union Pacific rail way calls their attention to the fact that "courtesy and good will are of inestimable value in our daily life in commercial life they are as important as brains and energy.Tbe bulletin goes on to expound this thought for the benefit of the employes of the great corporation, and to impress on them the need of its application. The lesson might well be heeded by others. One of the regrettable features of our busy life is the growing disregard of the little things that make np much of our daily existence.

It is notice able throughout the catalogue that Minnehaha county is given much credit for the production of seeds while in the beginning of Mr. Jones' business as a seedsman in Madison. Lake county occupied the honored place in his catalogues.

Numercus Chicago commission men are said to be facing fnilnreasa lesult of their efforts to maintain an artificial price on the necessitiea of life. The inability further to uphold this price is said to l»e due to a combination of circumstances, chief uf which are the open winter of 1911 and the banner crops of 1910. Three commission men failed last week as a result of holding great quan tities of butter, which tney purchased at an average price of 31 cents a pound, and now are unable to market foi more than 27 or 2H cents a pound. While the wholesale prices of butter and eggs have dropped decidedly within the last few weeks, there has, as yet, been no decline in the retail prices. Much of the produce which now is to be unloaded on a falling market has been in the warehouses for as long as five years. By means of cold storage commission men have been able to maintain an artificial price, not only to the consumer, bat to the producer, it is said. No public warehouse report is ever made here and the exact amount of produce in tbe hands of Chicago firms cannot be estimated. Thirty two warehouses are known to have 44,000, 000 pounds of butter, eggs and poultry. Men tamUiar with the market con ditions today said it would be impos sible to say whether that figure repre sented nearly tbe total or whether it waB only a small percentage of tbe en tire amount. The increased sale of oleomargarin is given as an added cause for the situa tion the commission men now fiud themselves facing. Thousands of con sumers, unable to pay the price at which butter has been held, have be come users of oleomargarin. Butter is" 6 cents a pound lower wholesale than it was a year ago, and is selling at the lowest figure in five years. DAYLIGHT SALOONS Bili Before South Dakota Legis lature- The Daily Grind Pierre, Jan. 16.—The house teiuper ain-e committee will present a favor* able report on the daylight saloon bill today. While tbe committee was not unanimous there will be no min rity report. The military committee will pre sent: a favorable leport today on the stuverud hat pin bill and the memlM'rs will be given an opportunity to aid their knowledge of millinery. It: is reported this morning that over Lf tbe members have signed the peti tion asking for the appointment of Justice Whiting to succeed Judge Car 1.inil on tbe federal bench. Representative Giede Saturday pre H' nted a bill in the house to abolish tbe anti treating law of the last ses M"u, as one of the dead letter laws on he statutes. The game fund which has accumu lated by tbe state the past year, through the failure of the last legislative ses -i"ii to specifically appropriate any part of it for the purpose of propoga tnm cf game birds, apparently looks good to several people. One bill has been introduced to pay warrants issued to old county game wardens, under the law prior to tue state warden act. I'nder that law counties could appoint wardens to be paid out of certain funds as they accumulated. Such wardens were entitled to fifty dollars a month, to be paid if the fund is sufficient. A number of such warrants are out in tbe state, and the bill provides that they be paid out of tbe surplus state fund: another move com'ng is in the way of request for payment of county game wardens under the present law, where the amount secured from the issuance of game licenses has not been sufficient to allow theui the salary of fifty dollars a month which is allowed them out of such receipts. It is very likely that the present session will make more specific provisions for hanuling this fund, and that it will not in the fu ture go up to auy such amount as it has reached at present. John S. Swanson, of Sisseton, regis tered in as an authorized legislative agent of the sheriffs association of the state. The registrations up to tbe present are corning in very slowly as compared with the past session, only a half dozen being registered so far. The result of the McMahon murder trial in Meade county, in which Mrs. McMahon was acquitted of a charge of murder on the grounds of insanity, and later acquitted on an insauity bearing, has called for legislative action on tbe part of Representative Brackett of Meade. He provides that in caes of an acquittal on the plea of insanity, the defeudant may be at once committed to the insane asylum by the ircuit judge, and not allow tbe case to go to a second bearing and trial on an insanity cbarge. WASTING WATER Conservation of the Water of South Dakota Artesian Wells Vermillion, Jan. 16.—South Dakota has a conservation problem of its own to Bolve, the problem being the pre servation of the supply of water in the great artesian basin which undeilies tbe greater part of the state, and which is greater in extent and vol nine of water contained therein than any other artesian basin in tbe world. There are in South Dakota several thousand artesian wells, varying in size from 2 to 8 and 10 inches in diameter. They flow steadily all the year around, day and night, the waste water being permitted to flow un hampered into nearby streams or lake beds. With these spouting wells flow ing steadily every minute during the year, the waste of watei is something enormous and could not be expressed in anything less than millions, if not billione of gallons. Those who have investigated the matter present evidence to show that about 98 per cent of this water now goes to waste, only 2 per cent being utilized by the owners of the wells. Dean E. C. Perisho, of the South Dakota univeriaty at Vermillion, and also state geologist of South Dakota, has recently been endeavoring to arouse the people of the state to the importance of something being done to stop this wanton waste. As the result of tbe agitation inauguarted by him it is be lieved the state legislature, which now is in session, will take some action be fore i: ad journB looking to the conserva tion of the supply of water in the great artesian basin, so the baain will not be exhausted. Dean Perisho proposes as a remedy the artesian wells should be inspected by some competent official acting under state authority, aDd that those who drill other artesian wells in future should be required to procura a license, •nd also furnish a !ond binding them to have the botiooi of ibe piping secure ly set in the caprock which lies imme diately over the great artesian basin, acting as a roof. If the piping were securely driven into this caprock at the bottom of artesian wells it would be possible, by putting a cap on the top of the piping, to control the flow of water, which could be used only when needed and the flow shut off and the waste stopped when the owner of the spouter was not using the waiter. Many of tbe present artesian wells could not be thus controlled, for tbe reason that the iron piping through which tbe water pawea from the artesian baain to a point above the surface of tbe ground has not been securely set in the f-ap rock, and to shut off tbe flow at the top of the pi|»e when the water was not in use would result in the well filling np with sand at the bottom and Imog ruined. SMOOTH GETAWAT Wholesale Thief Heard Talk Over Telephone Ordering His Arrest Big Stone. Jan. 16.— By the use of swiftly doffing a fur coat, which was one of the articles of wearing apparel by which he could be identified imme diately upon hearing a livery establish ment proprietor converse about him over the telephone, a young man want ed for horse stealing made bis escape from the authorities. The young man had been employed on a farm near tbe Sooth Dakota Min nesota line. The other day he disap peared from the farm, and with him went a team and bobsleds and twenty five bushels of wheat. It was after ward found that he drove to Odessa and marketed the wheat and exchanged the bobsleds for a lighter pair, giv*, ing a reasonable excuse. From Odessa he came direct to Big Stone. During the time he was here Sheriff (-rowan was in town looking for him, but as tbe young man did not have the heavy bobsleds described to the sheriff over the telephone, the officer decided he was not in town. From Big Stone the young Sioux City Live Stock StaQx City, Jan. 16, 2 p. n|.—-Vpp hogs at $7.75. Best feeders sold at #5.65.

Before he had left tbe barn tbe liveryman was called to the telephone and was given a description of the fugitive, the team and the sled for which he had ex changed. "Why, yes," leplied the liveryman over the telephone, "we just unbitcheti a grey and a bay, driven by a mxn ii a fur coat.'' Standing only a few feet away the man for whom the officers were inquir ing overheard the conversation and knew he was the man referred to. In stantly he retreated into the interior of tbe barn, where he divested himseli of the fur coat and overalls, and a min ute later joined the group around th» telephone. The cool young man .-usually re marked to the group of men that h bad just noticed a man with a fur coat and overalls in tbe Iwirn aud tbei walked down the street unrecognized Since that time not the slightest trac of him has been found and it ia fearer he has made his getaway.
