From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Near the centre of the South Mani
tou Island is the bottomless lake. The
inhabitants believe this lake is the era
ter of an extinct volcano, and from this
theory has arisen the fear that the
origin that the peculiar changes in the
island was seismic. This lake is en-
tirely surrounded by dense woods, and
is almost two miles long. Like the
harbor, its waters are as transparent
as glass. II is a mysterious body of
water, and resembles the one in the
old crater of Mt. Shasta, in California.
II is not fed by streams or springs, al
though its level has not lowered or ris-
en- perceptibly during the many long
years the Hollanders have lived on the
island.
No exact survey has ever been made
by the government officials, but cas-

that the level OF the little body OF wa

cAMPBELL's GULCH.
Most Beautiful Natural Park In
Central South Dakota.

Eight miles southwest of Miller,
lying buried among the Rec Hills
il what is called Campbell's
gulch. 1t is located in a broad
and deep rayine stretching di-
rectly across the crest of the
hills. The gulch itself Is nearly
a mile in length and filed with
all kinds OF forest trees. These
great trees, thickly surrounded
at their bases bv bushes and
vines, gives TO the gulch q most
beastiful aspect. The wildness
of the spot is enchanting to
those who have spent their lives
upon the prairie and the half
dozen ice cold springs which bub-
BILE from the hillsides and from
under great moss covered stones
only add TO the strange, wild
beauty OF the place. It'sone the
of best place of its kind in central
South Dakota and to say that
it is an ideal spot for picnics and
camping parties is to say the
least that could be said of it.
The owners of this beauty spot
of our prairie country are Major
J. p. Campbell and wife, who
have lived there since in the ear
ly eighties. Both belong to that
rare class of entertainers who
always make everyone feel at
home wherever he may be and
they are most valuable aGdi-
tions to any party OF picnicers
or campers.
At one time there were several
such charming gulches planted
among the Rec Hills, but early
settlers by the most wanton acts
of vandalism, cut them down.
Major and Mrs. Campbell for
saw the value of preserving at
least one of these places and
have remained true 10 their pur-
pose until to-day they have the
most beautiful as well as valua-
ble property in this part OF the
state.

several small stacks of hay OF

Cured last weeS at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollock. Mr.. Pol
lock was about to start to work
in the field when a tramp was
noticed coming down the road
and at the request of Mrs. Pol
lick, Mr.. =. waited until the
tramp passed the house and was
apparently on his way south for
good. After Mr. Pollok had
gone to work Mrs. Pollock WIS
surprised to see this same tramp
returning towards the house.
Being frightened she hastily
locked all outside doors and hid
with her two babies in a bed
room. The tramp came on to
the house, tried all the doors and
finally got window opened to
the room adjoining where Mrs.
4. was hid and started ramsack-
ing the house. Mrs. Pollock,
now thoroughly scared but
knowing she would soon be dis
covered, determined that she
must do something, and sudden
ly confronted the tramp in the
dinning room and ordered him
to leave the house, which he did,
jumping through the window,
and was seen no more.

MILLER MAY HAVE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Needs Encouragement From
Business Men.
Lewis keIlough Thinks He Can
Make 1t Pay.

Lewis Kellough, who has spent
several months in the Huron
electric light plant is considering
the advisability of installing a
system OF electric lights in Miller.
He claims he can furnish the
light to the business houses and
dwellings, cheaper than it can be
had from oil or gasoline, and
every one knows that the light
is far superior to any other. To
accomplish this much desired i'm
provement the cooperation OF
the business men of Miller is one
of the chief essentials. 1t may
appear to be an extreme move,
but the town is large enough and
all that is required OF the citizens
of Miller is to give their hearty
cooperation to Mr.. Kellough.
We are ready for the improve
ment, let us grasp the opportun-
ity TO make Miller the best small
town in South Dakota.
