ROOM NEEDED.
Schools Overflow in Two South "a

Schools Overflow in Two South Da-
kota Cities.
The citizens of Redfeld are con-
fronted with the problem of providing
increased school facilities. If present
plans materialize a fine new school
building will be erected and complet-
ed in time for occupancy next fall.
Ward schools were talked of, but
this was regarded as impracticable in
a town no larger than Redfeld, and it
is now proposed to erect a large and
modern central school building which
can be used as a high school building
at such time in the future as the
growth of the own warrants the IN
struction of ward school buildings.
The Dell Rapids board of education
has taken up the matter of providing
more school room. For some time the
schools have been handicapped by
lack of room some of the lower rooms
having from so to 80 pupils in them.
Some are in favor of building an ad-
ditiOn to the present school building,
but the majority of the people are in
favor of a new and modern school
building being erected.
The proposed new building VII be
erected near the present structure and
will contain eight rooms. The esti-
mated cost of the building is $4,000.
In the near future the board of edu-
cation will take up some of the pres
ent outstanding bonds, when the dis
trict will be in position to issue new
bonds for the erection of the building.
In due time a special election will be
called for the purpose of authorizing
the issuance of bonds for the con-
struction of the new school building.

struction of the plant. Messrs. Nietert

ment, with two Separators, churns and

other towns are included in the plans
Of the company. All cream will be
shipped to WATERFOWL.
An enterprise which is employing
many men is the cement industry.
Slower & Englesby have completed a
large building of cement blocks and
installed five Miracle machines for
making cement building blocks. They
are running a crew Of sixteen men day
and night. The WATERFOWL Cement
Product company also has four ma
chimes at work, the product of the two
establishments having been contract
ed for in many cities.

TELLS OF STRENUOUS LIFE.
Hollow Horn Bear Glad Uncle Sam
Made Him Work.

Charles E. McChesney, United States
Indian agent at Rosebud agency. who
has control over a larger number Of
Sioux Indians than any other agent in
the country, has received the following
letter from Hollow Horn Bear, a noted
Brule Sioux chief, in reference to
what he has accomplished since the
United States government ceased issu-
ing rations to able-bodied Indians and
compelling them to work for a living
during the summer months:
"In the month Of January, 1901, the
commissioner of Indian affairs speaks
about the best interest for the indian
to do, and this l considered it, as he
said that they must work at $1.25 a
day in the place Of the rations that is
given to them, and to this l would like
to let the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs to know what good it has done to
me.
"At the first year, l have bought a
buggy with a top IN, and a harness at
500, two gray horses at $50. In the
second year l lived in a log house forty
feet long and eighteen feet wide, four
teen feet in height, and | have bought
good tioorings and lumber for roof, also
| have bought two COWS from the set
Element, and good stove with boiler
combination at $35.
in the third year l have bought a
cupboard, dining table, a b%edstead, and
also a top buggy at $50, and this l
have taken as a good advices toward
the white people.
From you United States friend
and treatyman-Hollow Horn Bear"
Up to a few years ago Hollow Horn
Bear vas one of the most turbulent
Indians on the Rosebud reservation.
On one occasion he was the ringleader
in an attempt to force the agency a u
thorities to pay a higher price to In
dians for hauling government freight
from Valentine, Neb., the nearest rail-
road point to the agency.
Under the leadership of Hollow Horn
Bear the Indians who were engaged in
transporting freight virtually went
upon a strike and threatened to kill
the Indian agent and his subordinates
and burn all the agency buildings if
their demands were not complied with.
BY the most energetic sort of work the
instruction was put down without the
necessity of summoning United States
troops to the scene.

McCook Stock Growers Organize to
Rid County of Horse Thieves.
A mass meeting of the farmers and
stock growers of McCook county has
been called to meet i'll Bridgewater,
the object of which will be to organize
an association for the protection Of its
members against horse thieves and
burglars, who have become unusually
bold in their operations during the
summer and fall, ever going so far as
to steal a team of horses and carriage
hitchcd on n of the main streets OF
Bridgewater. The citizens have be.
come thoroughly aroused over the sit,
uation and are determined to stamp
out this lawlessness even though
harsh measures must be resorted to in
order to do so.
The merchants of Bridgewater, in
order to dispose of their surplus
stocks and make room for new goods
have instituted a union sale. where
the goods are all brought together and
auctioned off. The sale has been ad
yertised to continue three days, with
O. H. Merritt Of Parker, s. D., and
Col. C. P. Hanson Of B~ridgewater as
auctioneers.
