NEW PUMP ENGINE
Mayor Parker Appoints Committee
To See About It.

Alta recent session OF the city coun-
Gil Mayor Parker appointed G. S. Blod-
gett, E. p. Ochsncr and j. II. Wolf a
committee to take up the question OF
buying new engine for the pump
house. The only recommendation the
mayor made was that they investigate
the need OF new engine and if SO to
buy about tifteen-horsc power modern
engine and trade the old one in.
Water Commissioner Stewart has
complained for two years that the
present engine is altogether too light
for the work and inadequate in every
way. This has been plainly evident
ever since it was put in. The break.
ages has been frequent and the engine
! is not set and rigged right for the
heavy work required of 1t. No one is
to blame for this, however, us 1T was
exceeding difficult when the engine
was put in to have any guide to go by
there being no town in the state
using just this same system of water
| works.
Before any changes is made, how
eyer, the committee should inyesti-
gate the engines and systems used IN
a large number of towns in the state
and be not at all backward about CIV
ing some time and city money to that
end. 1t is usually the case, too, to
wait until that last minute-until
something must be done Immediately
and then there is no time to investi-
gate anything. The result is a pur-
chase is made of the first agent that
gets to town ana the engine or what
ever it is installed and set by local
mechanics who know nothing about
that kind of work.
enough to say that for the past two
years the engine has been run with Il
''torch' instead Of a battery-thc lat
ter being out of order-and it is diff
cult for anyone but an expert to keep
a battery in order with an engine rum
ming daily. Mr.. Stewart Says that the
torch" takes about gallon OF gaso-
line daily, which would mean about
$50 a year, or 800 in uwo years.
The Mitchell Republican is using
an engine Of the same make and SIZE
as the INimball engine and had the
same trouble about the battery. They
got a small dynamo at the cost of SIG
about two years ago, since when it has
not cost dollar for gasoline to heat
the torch. This could have been done
here--and should have been done
months ago.

torted by Pierre into an alleged injury
to the state as a whole. The manager
of the press bureau was cautioned re-
repeatedly on this point and time and
again advised to contine the argu-
ments to other points.
But 1T was impossible to let the
many statements coming out of Pierre
go unchallenged, and when it came to
a bill of particulars the people began
to realize that Mitchell was telling
the truth at least and could hardly be
blamed for SO doing under the circunl-
stances.
The people Of Kansas recognize and
fact that the western part of their
state is not like the eastern half in
agriculture possibilities, so do the peo-
pie of Nebraska admit it of their
state, and our neighbors up north
know it OF North Dakota. Ii the peo-
pie Of South Dakoea don't know the
resources of their state it's high time
they did.
The same tactics beat Huron four
teen years ago were used against Nit
chell, but Mitchell had a harder pro-
position in that Pierre had own the
capital twice and there was feeling
everywhere. as our Yaukton friend
says, that it would not be fair to take
it away, coupled with sympathy for
community that had no other visible
means of support.
This, with a seemingly unlimited
pull on the Northwestern road. de-
feated Mitchell's aspirations and not
any so-called "knocking."
Had Mitchell given negative assent
to Pierre's eXtravagant claims for tn.
country west Of it it would haye been
virtual confession that Mitchell's
accessibility to the major portion Of
the population over Pierre was tenn
porary one, and instead Of polling oye
10000 votes she would not have re-
ceiyed 10000.

THE LOST LEAD.
LOUIS GLIB E T
1S6O-IS9I.

This inscription marks the lOneli-
est, yet richest, grave in the world
Late in the spring Of 1889, Louis
Gilbert left his home in Kentucky for
a visit to his uncIe's mine in the
Northwest He had lung trouble, and
the doctor had ordered an outdoor
life. While his health improved, he
became infected with another ailment,
perhaps the only one to be caught at
that great aItitude-the gold fever.
Miners were his only associates. the
talk was all of lOdes, leads and drifts,
and The only communication with the
outside world was by the train Of
pack mules that carried the heavy
ore sacks down the winding trail So
It was not surprising that his walks
took the character Of prospecting
tours, and carried him farther and
farther from camp. Late in October,
when his visit was nearly over, he
started with three DAYS food for a
last trip, into new territory. From 2
cOnical mountain top about ten miles
west Of the mine, he had looked over
a lower range Of SUBMITS to a great
eZpanse Of wild and broken country
that he had never explored.
The weather was like summer when
he started, but thirty-six hours later,
on the evening of the second day, a
fierce snowstOrm set in By mid
night, the first blizzard Of the season
was raging through the mountains.
On the third day the storm still
hOwled furiOusly, but searching par
ties were sent out with a faint hope
Of finding the young prOspectOr be
fore the trails became entirely i'm
pessable. In the dim twilight Of the
afternoon they returned one by one.
almost worn out, convinced that the
body of the missing man would Lot
be found till the warm winds OF
spring should melt away the drifts
Yet as a humane precaution, lights
were set in cabin windows. and, guild
ed by one OF them, Louis Gilbert
staggered into camp and fell like a
dead man before the mess-rOOm door
He was taken from the snow,
wrapped in blankets and laid before
a blazing fire When he showed signs
OF life he was given hot drinks and
undressed- His prOspectOr's belt
dropped to the floor like lead, and
when opened was found TO be stuffed
with nuggets Of virgin gold
In the fever that followed, Gilbert
talked deliriously Of his long struggle
through the binding drifts, hungry,
cold and aching for the sleep which
would mean death, yet forcing himself
onward with the blizzard at his back
as his only guide The amazing rich
ness Of his find had given him the
strength that saved his life
Finally he opened his eyes with the
old look and told more in detail the
story Of his wonderful discovery. On
