The Imperial Lands In Cal
ffOrnia

Last summer H. l.. Lyman visited
his son Rev. E. Fem Lyman, in this
city. Recently the latter received a
letter from his father who in course of
his travels in California visited the
Imperial lands where he met brother
of Geo. Cline, of the Geo. Cline Land
Company, of this city. Mr.. Lyman in
his letter to his son, refers as follows
to his visit to the Imperial lands:

(what used to be the Gulf of California;. 1t is q
wonderful country and a wonderful sight. While

Late advices from the Imperial
settlements say that the land is being
taken very fast. This is the best and
most favorable opportunity to get
home in fine healthy climate that
has ever been offered. Why go

more hardships to bear? AS an in

FAMINE SUFFERERS
"A special Act of Legislature
in Regard to Collections.

The following joint resolution
was adopted by the state legis-
lature on February II and signed
by the governors:
Be it Res olved by the Senate of the
Legislature of the State of South
Dakota, the House of Representatives
concurring:
Section l. Each and every county
treasurer in the State of South Dakota
Is hereby designated a committeeman
to receive donations from the people
! OF their respective counties for the
relief of the famine stricken people of
Finland and adjoining countries.
| Section 2. All donations received
by the County Treasurer for the pur-
pose stated in the preceding section
shall be forwarded to the state treas
urer, at the close of each week, who
shall receipt for the same, and shall,
under the direction of the Governor,
forward such donations to the parties
who are duly authorized to receive the
same.
Section 3. Whereas an emergency
exists for the immediate taking effect
OF this act, the same shall be in force
from and after it's passage and ap-
proval,
The terrible famine in north
ern Finland, Sweden and Lap
land is calling for sympathy
and aid of all charitable persons.
Already committees have been
appointed in many parts of the
country and have collected large
sums for the relief of the strick-
en- people, but the distress is so
widespread that it will need
much more than has already
been done to stay the hand of
famine. Messrs. G. A. Erland-
son, Ed. Johnson and K. E.
HUSKY have been selected in the
city to receive contributions,
and we suggest that some per-
son might be selected in each
township or community to re-
ceive contributions for this
object, and report to Mr.. Fors-
berg the county treasurer. Do
not wait for anything of this
kind however, but send or bring
in your donation to this worthy
charity at once.

BRICK AND THING
A Fine Quality of Clay for Man
ufacturins in this Vicinity.

Last summer while Nj. F.
Olson, who is manager of the Red
Wing Sewer Pipe company was
on a visit to this part of the
country his attention was called
to the quality of the clay found
on the farm of w. E. Wander
WORT just west of the city. He
was SO well satisfied that the
clay was of value for brick and
| tile manufacture that he took a
quantity of the clay with him to
Red Wing for burning, and
ordered an additional quantity
sent later. This he has recently
burned, and has sent up speci.
men exhibits in the form of
four different qualities of brick,
a length of sewer pipe, several
vases, jugs and ornaments,
showing the different qualities
of material produced by the
different heats to which the
clay was subjected Mr.. Olson
in his letter accompanying the
specimens says that he was
desirous of finding out how
much fire and strength the clay
would stand, and says in explain
alton the brick marked 1900 is
for 1,2OO degrees heat, one for
1 400 degrees, and they are
plenty hard enough for any kind
of brick. The two marked 1000
is hard enough for a good paving
brick. He says that they burn
the Red Wing clay with 2,4OO
degrees, while the Milbank clay
as shown burns to a body with
but about half the heat, which
would be a great saving in fuel.
He also says: "The strength
your clay stands is 100, which
means that you pile them As high
while burning, or they stand
pressure of 10000 pounds to the
brick. The brick that l have
sent you are not the color that
your brick would be on account
of their being burned in the salt
glazed kiln. l also send you two
six inch sewer pipes; you will
find one of them burned on one
side with a 1, 400 degrees heat and
the other at 1900, so you can
see that your clay will run
through the machine all right.
did not try to make anything
fancy, but 1 have some of your
clay left which l will work up
later. L, also made you flower
vase, which was to find out if
your clay was plastic enough,
which l found to be satisfac-
tory"
If the clay proves as valuable
and worka BILE as Mr.. Olson be.
lieves it to be there will un-
doubtedly be company organ
lied to manufacture it. There
is any quantity of the clay and it
is easily obtained, being but
about two feet below the surface,
while the clay at Red Wing has
to be secured at from Is to 20
Ieet below the surface. The
matter should be carefully ex-
amined into, as it is probable
that an important industry may
be developed here. Mr.. Olson
himselfis very enthusiastic over
the quality of the clay. and is
to take stock in an or
ganization for the manufacture
OF the products of the clay.
The brick, sewer pipe and other
specimens are on exhibition at
Wood Bros. store, and are we'll
worthy of examination.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without the,!
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women:
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and tw,tch.
inqs Of limbs and muscles. They complain OF
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia
and Digestion: All such symptoms and AL
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health. : :, 49,,

up by physicians.
