What n Hen Can Learn

When boy l had a fat, lively hen
so educated that at my bidding she
would lie on her back and slide head
first down an inclined plane two or
three feet in length without the Slight
est effort to turn upright or stop her
self, and at the bottom she would re-
main just as she landed until touch
ed her or spoke to her unless interfer-
ed With by some other person or ami
NAL. Incredible as this may seem, it
is trick easily taught any gentle af-
fectionate hen.-L. II. Morphew in For

The bill for the opening night was
"The Black Flag" and as it had been

last two years, the audience was not so
large as the production merited. The

THIS Is PURE GOLD"
Recent HomestalSe Cleanup Makes About
$50 Tons of Gold

Recent Homestake Cleanup Makes About
$50 Tons of Gold
This was brick day at the Homestake
assay office, and an interesting feature
OF the same was that the gold bricks
sent out had the number 2OO1 stamped
thereon. 1t has been the custom to
number the bricks consecutively ever
since the Homestake first started, and
the fact that they have now sent out
1000 large bricks of the precious metal
gives one an idea of what has been
taken from this great niue. OF the
above 2,O00 referred to 1,2OO have been
sent out in the last eight years. Fig
ured approximately this makes in the
neighborhood of $50 tons of gold sent
out by the Homestake. This seems
like an awful amount to the uninitiat-
ed, but is fact nevertheless, and tax
ing the product of the last eight years
into consideration as we'll as the i'm
proved methods in hosting, reduction,
etc, it is fair to presume that the next
eight years will see considerable more
than l, POO bricks taken out.-Lead Gall.

THE PRESIDENT PKOCLAIMS.
Reasons for Thankfulness as Observed by
President Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt.
In setting aside Thursday, Nov. oath,
as legal holiday and urging the peo-
pie to observe the occasion, President
Roosevelt says:
ut has pleased Almighty God to
bring the American people in safety
and honor through another year, and
in accordance with the long unbroken
custom handed down to us by our fole-
fathers, the time has come when q
special day shall be set apart in which
to thank Him who holds all nations in
the hollow of His hand for the mercies
thus vouchsafed to US.
''Duriug the century and a quarter of
our national life we as people have
been blessed beyond all others and for
this we owe humble and heartfelt
thanks to the Author of all blessings.
ssThe year that has closed has been
one of peace within our own borders as
we'll as between US and all other ma
tions. The harvests have been abund-
ant and those who work, whether with
hand or brain are prospering greatly.
Reward has awaited upon honest effort.
We have been enabled to do our duty
to ourselves and to others. Never has
there been a time when religious and
charitable effort has been more evi-
dent. Much has been given to us and
much will be expected from us.
"We speak of what has been done by
this nation in no spirit of boastfulness
or vain glory, but with full and rever-
enu realization that our strength is as
nothing unless we are helped from
above. Hitherto we have been given
the heartiest strength to do the tasks
allotted to us rs they severally arose.
"We are thankful for all that has
been done for us in the past and we
pray that in the future we may be
strengthened in the unending struggle
to do our duty fearlessly and honestly,
with charity and good will, with respect
for ourselves and with love toward our
felowmen.
'ln this great republic the effort to
combine national strength with per-
sonal freedom is being tried on a scale
more gigantic than ever in the worlds
history. Our success will mean much
not only for ourselves but for the fu-
ture of all mankind and every man or
woman in our land should feel the
grave responsibility resting upon him
or her, for in the last analysis this sue
cess must depend upon the high aver
age of our individual citizenship, upon
the way in which each Of us does his
duty by himself and his neighbor."

RECLAMATION PROJECT.
Over One Million Dollars Will he 1nves,
ed in South Dakota.

Over One Million Dollars Will he Invest
ed in South Dakota.
A Washington special says: F. II.
Newell, chief engineer of the reclama-
tion service, in an interview states that
the progress of construction in South
Dakota has been delayed by the indif-
ference or ignorance of the situation
on the part of the local land owners.
1t is necessary before construction can
begin to obtain an agreement from the
land owners to abide by the conditions
of the reclamation law in regard to the
subdivision of land and the repayment
of the actual cost of irrigation. A
number of land owners who would be
greatly benefited are hanging back and
jeopardizing the work.
Over sl,OO0,O00 will be invested in
construction in South Dakota as soon
as the land owners take action. The
enormous increase of value which will
result should be sufficient to attract
these men, but many of them think
that by holding back they can secure
benefits without making payments. In
this they will be disappointed, as al
ternative plans are being considered to
build smaller system, and cut out
areas for which the owners have not
signed. 1t is not desired to condemn
this land to perpetual sterility by so
doing, however. and land owners are
being given opportunities to subscribe.
The work consists of canal taking
water from the Belle Fourche river on
the north side of the Black Hills, and
irrigating the lands on both sides of
the stream. 1t is probable, however,
that the original plan will be modified,
emitting the south side canal, and
planning smaller canal on the north
side, if the land owners delay much
longer If the land is excluded it will
probably not be possible to enlarge the
works to cover it, as the construction
is OF a permanent character, and there
is strong pressure brought to bear to
begin construction at other points in
the state as soon as this matter is defin-
itely determined upon.
