A FTER a battle with waves, which
IA Captain Houdlette says was the
worst he has seen during 206 trips
across the Pacific, the Sierra arrived
here yesterday morning, more than six
and a half days from San Francisco.
One day the total miles travelled was
207. and on Friday last there was such
a condition of affairs .nat not only was
the entire ship netted for the safety
of the sailors, but the cabins were
closed and battened and no one was
permitted to appear on deck.
The bad weather was the incident
following the recent storm on the
Coast. The Sierra was to sail at 10
o'clock on the morning of Sunday last.

tried to get out on Saturday. She had
to turn back and lay at anchor for five
channel. When the Sierra tried the
bar there was little breaking, and the
rough weather was first encountered
when the ship got out beyond the Far
allones. There was a high old time
with the seas, and on Monday morning
those of the passengers who had been
able to sleep awoke and found that the
ship was bucking into high seas which
came from the south-southwest. The
sea was so high that at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. when few of the Drawer
ones were out on the spar deck, there
was a great sea which came on the
bow and carried away part of the rail.
The ship had to be slowed down to
half speed and there was only a few
minutes of seeming calm when again
the ship buried her nose into a wave
which mounted higher than its prede-
cessor and went over the hurricane
bridge. All the storm screens went
away this time, and then the ship

light telegraph box was broken. The

Rev. 1rl R. Hicks 1908 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching
through thirty years, are not based up
on sound sense and usefulness, is an
insult to the intelligence of the mil
lions. Prof. Hicks, through this great
Almanac, and his famous family and
scientific journal, Word and Works, is
doing a work for the whole people not
approached by any other man or pub
lication. A fair test will prove this to
any reasonable person. Added to the
most luminous course in astronomy
for 1903, forecasts of storms and wealth
er are given, as never before, for every
day in the year, all charmingly illus
trated with two hundred engravings.
The price of single Almanac, including
postage and mailing, is thirty cents.
Word and Works with the Almanac is
S1.O0 a year. Write to Word and
Works Publishing Co., 22O1 Locust
Street, st. Louis, Mo-, and prove to
yourself their great value.

Gentlemen: As local attorney for

suit of Earl Chambers VS.. the Modern

the death of Ora Chambers in Wyo-

that no such offer has been made, or
even contemplated, by the Head Of.
ficers Of the Lodge; that the proof as
submitted to the Head Lodge shows
that it was case of suicide, and, under
the provisions of the policy, that made
it void, aud left no obligation upon the
Head Camp, and, for that reason, they
refuse to pay.
The only possible chance leading to
a rumor of this kind is that the local
attorneys, Col. Kellar and myself, had
talked the matter over and I had writ.
ten the General Attorney that perhaps
for the interest of the Local Camp, i,
might be we'll to attempt compromise
and had asked Col. Kellar if he
would accept $1,000, in full. for the
policy. and told him that If he wonld

FREE RANGE VS.. HERD
sfti"n, Contending Against the
Herd Law.
Hor SPRINGS. s. ID. Dec. l.

Hot SPRINGS, s. D., Dec. l, 1902
EDITOR STAR
L see in the bi- ennial report of David
Eastman, Commissioner of School and
Public Lands, that the reason more of
the state school lands in the western
part of the state are not leased, is be-
canse of the free range law, and the
aforesaid wiseacre solemnly recon-
mends that the legislature repeal the
villanous law, and substitute therefor
the beneficent herd law. Herd law
indeed! The very term makes the
blood of the average Black Hitler boil.
The reason that more of the state
lands are not leased is not hard to find.
1t lies in the policy of the Board of
School and Public Lands in placing a
prohibitive rental on time leases.
The situation is this: To be available
to stockmen, these lands must be
fenced; to be safely and profitably
fenced they must be leased for a term
of years. Therefore we come to this
conclusion-If the Board wish to en-
courage the leasing cf these lands,
they must make it profitable to fence
them, in other words, they must grant
time leases, at a rental, and for SUI
ficiently long time that stockmen
can afford to fence them.
Have they done this? The minimum
rate is five cents per acre per year, and
seven cents per acre, per year, for five
years. 1t is hard to imagine policy
more likely to DISCOURAGE the time
lease and consequently the profitable
occupation of these lands.
A few years ago. to induce stockmen
to lease and fence, these lands we're
offered in tracts of three sections or
more, at three cents per acre, per year,
for five years. Many took advantage
of this rate and fenced bodies of these
lands. Since then the rate has steadi-
ly increased, and the lessee now con-
fronts a situation where he cannot af-
ford to release, neither can he afford
to let go and abandon his fence He
is between the devil and the deep sea
The average school section in this
county, when fenced, will not winter
pasture to exceed fifty head of
stock. | could tell you at length. Mr..
Editor, of the uncertainties of the
pasture business here, of the dry. dry
seasons. the prairie dogs, the grass
hoppers, the hailstorms. ETC., but time
and space forbid. If the state would
offer these lands for term of ten
years at a minimum rate of five cents
per acre, per year, the present rate for
one year leases, think much more of
it would be leased, and there would
then be no excuse for striking a blow
at one of the leading industries of the
Black Hills, as Mr.. Eastman does when
he proposes the adoption of the herd
law Yours respectfully.
