The Dakota chief. (Gann Valley, Buffalo County, S.D.) 18??-1913, 1895-05-30

At this time of the year we can ap-
preciate good roads fully. and 1t Is 10
be regretted that we forget how incon-
yenient bad roads are as soon as the
roads that are bad get good in tn"
SDrinC. Two weeks ago we had occa-
sion to drive four miles into the coun-
try in Northern ohio, where the roads
get frightfully bad on occasion, and
although we had Il fairly good team
and a light buggy the best time we
could mike was to drive the four miles
in an hour and Il half. When We ar
rived at our destination tho team
showed the effects If the hard drive
very plainly, though they had not been
driven of Il walk. \ week ago in
Southern ohio we SAW Il team trottlng
along hitched To Il wagon on which
was 5000 pounds of hay. They have
GOOD roads in Southern Ohio. or rather
I'm Southwestern ohio. and they derive
the benefit from them. They cost a
tidy sun to make. but now that they
are made the people benefited would
not return to the barbarouS mud roads
Of former years for any consideration.
The co>tliest item of expense to the
farmers Of this country is the loss they
sustain from impossible roads. There
has been much agitation on the sub
.ject. and it is having its effect, but I'M
til something is done to improve the
condition of the roads of the country
its prosperity will suffer to an enor-
nous extent. Land in a county where
the roads are good is worth twice as
much as in Il mud road county. and
the farmers OF the county could not
pay Y for any purpose that would
make greater direct returns. Good
roads are necessary To a perfect civil
cation. and that mean that we shall
have them some time in the not distant
future.-Farm News.

Facts About the Peanut.

There Is much doubt as to the orig
inal home of the peanut. Some say
that ii is Indigenous to Africa: others
that ii was a native of South America
and was carried by the earlier eyplor-
ers OF that country to Spain. and
thence to Africa. The earliest auIhon-
tie tradition tells of It's appearances in
eastern North Carolina. probably
brought there by some of the slave
ships landing rgo along the coaSr.
The native Africans recognized and
used them. Peanuts grow upon n trail
ing vine with leaves much resembling n
small fOur-leaved clover. The small
yellow flower it bears is SHAPED like
the blossom of all the pea family. In.
deed, the Agricultural Bureau in
Washington does not recognize tho
peanut as a nut at all, but classes it
among beans. The soil in which il is
cultivated must be light and sandy

MIR. c. A. Phipps, Sunday
school missionary of the Prssbyter-
ian synod for Idaho and Washing
ton, visited Bonner's Ferry last
week. He preached interesting SER
mons Sunday morning and even
ing and presided at the Sunday
school election. Mr.. Charles Row
ell the retiring superintendent was
rendered a vote of thanks and Mr..
Bartlett Sinclair was elected to fill
the vacancy. Mr.. Phipps hopes in
the course of several weeks to re-
turn in company with DR.. Mcleod
for ten days revival.
We thought the Siwashes had
gone on the war-wath last Monday
evening, but on looking out we dis
covered that the cause of the dis
turbance was load of school child
rem that K. L. Whitney was taking
home, saving them walk through
the snow. The strong lungs that
our school children have is a good
indication of the health of the Koo-
tenai country. They appeared to
enjoy the ride immensely.
VIM. VanGasken, of the Koo-
tenai Trading Co., has his share Of
the business these days. Van has
always on hand a stock of fresh
groceries. No stale goods in his
establishment. This fact, cheap
prices and pleasant way Of treat
ing his customers brings him a
good trade.
Mrs. Jaquith, principal Of the
school, returned from Ockonook
last Saturday morning, having ex-
perienced very disagreeable ride
through the storm. The stage from
Ockonook was due Friday evening
but did not get in till Saturday
about noon.
Judge Henry L. Carlton turned
over the records of the Justices
office to his successor, Judge J. G
Hardness, last Monday, and the
latter entered upon the duties o.
his office. On the same day Mr.
Carlton became Constable of the
precinct.
The old dance hall building
collapsed under the weight of snow
that burdened its roof one nigh
this week. 1t almost turned itsel
wrong side out in the collapse. II
it's time the old hall has seen {
a good many wrecks but this las
one was a settler.
We hear some complaint tina

so unkind as to remark that is i

Attorney Bartlett Sinclair is
in more trouble-at least such is
the opinion of little Sunday
school miss. 1t appears that Mr..
Sinclair was elected superintendent
Of the Sunday school last Sabbath.
When the little girl in question re-
turned home, she rushed up to her
mother and exclaimed ooh,
mamma, what do you think They
made Mr.. Sinclair our superintend-
ent, and he has to learn the Lords
prayer and another one by next
SundayW-as though she was
quite certain of Mr.. Siuclair's I'M
familiarity with prayers in general,
and had some doubts as to his
ability to accomplish the task be-
fore him-to learn the Lords pray
er and another one" in a weeks
time.
The weather of late has been
something remarkable. Last week
about 4 feet of snow fell upon what
was already sufficiency, of that
article. This week it has rained
good share of the time, reducing
the snow over half. Four degrees
below zero is the lowest record of
the thermometer yet this winter.
Frank Hughes, dashing
young real estate man of Kaslo,
was sent to Kamloops last week by

well known Nelson lawyer, if the
charges be true.
