FIREMEN's TOURNAMENT.

The annual tournament of the South
Dakota firemen at Sioux Falls last week
was success in every particular. The
attendance was larger than at any previous
one, and the contests very interesting.
Miller was not represented this year as q
team, although few Of our boys took
part.
The championship hose race for q cart
was won by Ysnkton from Huron, who
held it two years. Huron had the fastest
team there, but after record breaking
run, their coupler missed connection.
The championship hook and ladder
race was won by Madison in "A seconds,
nearly four seconds slower than the record
Miller made at Yankton.
The free-for-all hook race was tie at
As between Madison and Mitchell, and the
s~saAv s"as -diuidad- ID. III. Smith and
o. S. Fulton Of Miller ran in this race
with Madison, and j. w. Coquillette
climbed the ladder for Mitchell, which by
the way was the best and cleanest climb
ing on the grounds.
The free for all hose was fight be-
tween Yankton's combination team and
Huron. Huron again won the race but
missed coupling. Then the Huron team
combined with Sioux Falls and made the
race in 40, but dispute arose as TO wheth-
er the coupling was in accordance with
the rules, and as the board Of control
could not decide 1t, the money was d.
vided between Yankton and Sioux Falls.
The Flandreau Indian hose team was
feature at the tournament, but as the boys
say they were not Sin it, They made
very slow time, convincing everybody
that the old idea of an Indian being a
good runner is all bosh. The pale face
can beat an Indian at his own game.
J.w. Coduillette and d. II. Smith took
part in the ladder climbing contests.
The championship race for badge was won
by Elliott in seconds, Coquillette
second 81. Smith third 6. Elliott and
Smith tied in the novelty race OF 100
yards run, climb ladder and return to
ground. Each made l7s. Smith conced-
ed first money to Elliott and took second,
for fear Of losing all by running of the tie.

TOO W EFT.


The proposition to issue bonds for
sinking artesian wells in Miller township
was defeated Tuesday by vote OF 55 to
80. We have had too much rain lately
for irrigation; or Waters and Hill were
irving to rob US; or we didn't have well
located on our land, or Baldwin was try
ing to drown Miller out 80 st. Lawrence
could be the county seat; or-something.
At any rate the boys who want to see sir
rigation" will have to do it in the old
way through a glass darkly.
While the above arguments We're all rot
yet candor compells the statement that
the antis had some good ones. Miller
township can watch st. Lawrence expert
ments talready arranged for perhaps just
as well and without cost and again Mil
Ter has an abundance Of water from the
city we'll with which experiments could
have been mado on some of the farms
close to town, avoiding the expense Of
putting down more wells. So that while
Miller township voted down the propo-
sition, vet we consider it an indication
that the citizens are opposed to mourning
FURTHER expense until the entire supply
Of water from our present well is made
use of, rather than an opposition to the
principle Of supplying our various needs
of water through the artesian system.
