A weather prophet says March
will be unusually boisterous, with
storm periods around the LIST, 18th
and Both.
The creamery ice house has been
completed and the work of filling
the same is we'll under way. We
are going to have that creamery,
A correspondent (?) of the Miner
in a recent issue said that he was
sorry to see the creamery agitation
finding favor in Washburn, and
predicted a failure for the cream
cry here in less than five years.
This correspondent cannot see good
in anything. Just because a cream
cry in South Dakota made a failure
of it, he thinks that they are all
the same. We can point out six
or seven creameries in Morton Co.
to our personal knowledge that
have made a success in that line,
and there is not a writer of note
who does not say there is money in
the COW. When Washburn makes
a success of the creamery, which it
undoubtedly will, it will not be
thru the efforts of that correspond
ent and the Miner.

again, and two men started for

LED IN USE OF TORPEDOES.
Charleston Saw Uae of First TORPEDO
Boat.

Mrs. George W. Lamar, in the Savan.
nah Press.
While the worla stands looking on
with wondering admiration at the
plucky fight being put up by the ven.
turesome little Japs against thei,
overwhelming foes, the Russians, the
mind naturally reverts to the time
when just such fight against odds
was being waged in our midst, and q
few facts connected with that fight Of
forty yeare ago would no doubt come
to the knowledge Of many as some.
thing entirely new, and certainly aa
something we'll worth knowing and re.
membering.
The wonderful but terrible warfare
with torpedoes that is being carried
on with such success by the Japanese
was the offspring OF that mother Of
necessity and had birth in the need Of
navy to compete with the thorough.
ly equipped vessels sent against our
forces in the SOS.
The first torpedo boats ever used in
warfare were put into action in de-
fence of Charleston harbor. These
boats carried torpedo attached 60 q
spar projecting from the bow Of the
boat ana could be raised and lowered
at will.
The most successful action in which
the spar torpedo boat was engaged was
the attempt to blow up the United
States frigate, the New Ironsides. On
the first onslaught made the boat.
which was called the David, ran close
aboard of the Yankee vessel and be.
came entangled with her anchor
chains and, on being discovered from
the deck, retreated into the harbor.
A second attempt was made and, al.
though the huge ircnelad was net
sunk, che was SO much injured that
she was withdrawn from the coast Of
South Carolina and took no active
part in the war afterward until the
bombardment Of Fort Fisher.
The first and probabIy the only sub.
marine boat used during the wsr be.
tween the States, and the frs. on REQ.
ord, was called Ash boat and was
built in Mobile in 1863 by Huntdley
4 McClintock, and it was intended
that she should dive under q vessel,
dragging torpedo after her, which
would explode on contact with the
hull or keel Of the enemy, the fab
making of on the other side. Dur.
ing an experiment with her in Mobile
she sank and before she could be
raised er'whole crew were suffocated.
Gen. Beauregard, in 1864, accepted
this boat for use at Charleston. Many
experiments were made with her at
this point, some Of which were sue.
cessful, but owing to her defective
machinery five times she carried he,
