Sac County Meat Producers Associa-
ton Wins Many New Members.
Special to Times Republican.
Sac City, Feb. 21.-The Sac County
Meat Producers Association held a
public meeting in the court house on
last Saturday afternoon. The court
room was full of voters. This is one
of three counties having the largest
membership of this organization in
this state.
The meeting was addressed by Hon.
j. j. Ryan of Fort Dodge. secretary Of
the state association. He briefly stat
ed that the organization was for the
purpose of securing fair treatment of
the farmers and shippers of grain and
stock and of sustaining President
Roosevelt in his efforts to secure the
passage of law thru congress, giving
the interstate commerce commission
power to fix rates, to put stop to re-
bates to favored shippers and great
corporations and the indirect rebates
granted by means of the private car
system, such as are largely used by
the packers combine. He stated that
the organization was not political fur
Their than was necessary to send to
congress and our state legislatures
such men as would be the representa-
tives of the people, and disposed to do
justice to the people and to the great
corporations as we'll.
He stated that the railroads enter
ed into primary politics debating state
and congressional nominations and we
must meet them on this battle ground.
Defeated there, we must take it to the
polls, supporting if need be. a man be-
longing to a party which was not of
our choice.
At the close of the meeting many
of the audience joined the association.
The audience was largely composed
of farmers who are in earnest in the
support of President Roosevelt and
Governor Cummins in their efforts to
better conditions for the people.

Dickens up-to.pste.

About a year after Mr. Edward Bull
wer LyttoT Dickens had been elected
to the parliament of New South Wales
there was among the members in the
assembly a Labor member named
Willis. He was an obstructionist, or
stonewaller, as they called long-wind-
ed orators in the Atnipodes. One night
he was talking against time, says Sir
Gilbert Parker, in some "reminiscences.
Although Mr. Dickens had been in
the house for a year, he had never
spoken. Suddenly he sprang to his
feet.
Mr.. Speaker" he said, II rise to
point of order"
The whole house gasped, and won
dered what was coming. Mr.. Dickens
didn't have point of order. He said:
Mr.. Speaker, l am 10th to quote my
distinguished father in this house.
but there is one phrase from David
Copperield' which is household word
wherever the English language is
spoken. 1t is, 'Barkis is willin'.'
should like to paraphase that tonight
and say, Willis is barkin'.'"

~ trust that no one of you will ever

father, who has grown bent and gray

Up went every hand but one.
Sternly cycling the delinquent, the
superintendent solmenly observed:
Why, my boy, am horrified-abso-

PROMOTER OF IRRIGATION.
Death of Man Who Developed Largest
lrrinated Farm in Northwest

Death of Man Who Developed Largest
Irrigated Farm in Northwest.
Information has reached the state
of the death at Menominee, Mich, OF
w. o. Carpenter, Chicago millionaire
who was heavily interested in South
Dakota farm land, he being the de-
veloper of the largest irrigated farm in
the state or Northwest. This is stu
ated adjacent to the thriving town OF
Pukwana, Brule county. The farm
contains thousands of acres, has upon
it abundance of water, which is Sc
cured from artesian wells, and has
been developed into one of the great
est stock farms in the West Mr.. Car
penter's investment in the vicinity OF
Pukwana reaches fully 100000. This
huge investment was the result of a
love romance In the early days OF
Brule county Miss S. A. Richards was
one of the prominent pioneers, she
having secured title by complying
with the land laws of the United States
to a homestead near PulIwana. Some
years after taking up her residence in
Brule county she met Mr.. Carpenter,
This acquaintance ripened into love,
and, after having served as county SUI
perintendent of schools of Brule coun-
ty, Miss Richards married Mr.. Carpen-
ter. Mrs Carpenters devotion to
Brule county and her esteem for her
acuuaintances in the county made a
great impression upon her husband.
1t is said that it was her wish thatiher
homestead be made the foundation for
the greatest irrigated farm and ranch
in South Dakota, and in developing the
mammoth farm Mr.. Carpenter carried
out her desire. Mr.. Carpenter is sur
vived by Mrs Carpenter two sons, a
brother and a niece

IRRIGATION BooMs LAND.

Several Eastern land buyers within
the past few days have been trying to
pick up improved ranches in the vicin-
ity of Whitewood. One man was here
three years ago and bought ranches
for 5000 to $500 apiece. This ground
now cannot be touched for less than
$1,000 to $4,000 a ranch. The ranches
have more than doubled in price in the
last three years. When the irrigation
scheme is completed in the vicinity of
Big Owl creek it will be impossible to
get ranch ground for less than $40 an
acre. Eastern South Dakota parties
have been trying to get options on
several thousand acres of ground
north of this, place for speculative pur.
poses, but little ground has been tied
up.
The elevator of John Pietz at Eu.
reka collapsed owing to the great
weight of the grain contained in it,
and 10000 bushels of wheat rolled out
on the ground. A box car loaded with
bran, standing near the elevator, was
overturned by the rush of grain. Most
Of the grain was saved, the damaged
portion amounting to no more than
200 or 900 bushels. At Garden City an
elevator collapsed with 1900 bushels
Of fax. Many of the elevators in the
northern part of the state are over
loaded, owing to the scarcity of cars
to haul the grain to the city markets,

AssAlLs FEDERAL SURVEY.
Man Who Buys Farm Alleges He Has
"a Acres Due Him,

"a Acres Due Him.
Dispositions have been taken in a
case of unique character which was
instituted by Michael Ernstor of Lo-
gan township, in Minnehaha county,
of Dell Rapids, but now resident Of
Marshall county, S. D.
The suit will be tried during term
of the state circuit court which Is to
be held in Marshall county next Janu-
airy. Ernster seeks to recover the
acreage Of farm in Logan township,
which he purchased five or six years
ago for $4,000.
The deed described the tract as con-
tanning 152 acres, according to the gov
eminent survey, and, figuring on the
basis of 1852 acres, Mr.. Ernster paid
$22.50 for the farm. Ernster says he
afterward discovered that the farm
did not contain as many acres as was
believed, and this was confirmed by
County Surveyor Howe, who, after re-
surveying 1t, found it contained only
loo dCleS. I'll SCei sues CuIlStSuSO1
for reimbursement for his alleged loss.
The trial of the case promises to be
quite interesting and will bring out
| some important points with reference
to conveyancing and covenants in war
| ranty deeds. The case will probably
be decided largely on the question
whether the 1852 acres" referred to in
the deed is merely descriptive or a
covenant binding upon the. defendant.

through mail order catalogues they are
buying entirely on chance, and in
many cases statements of mail order
houses in their catalogues are $antirely
unreliable and cannot be depended
upon. The country merchants are in
general progressive and enterprising;
they are always working for the good
OF their town, they pay good proper
ton OF the city taxes, and encourage
local enterprise and improvements.
The commercial clubs of the differ
ent towns are all composed of the To-
cal merchants, and it is well-known
fact that town without a commercial
club is now considered as unprogres-
sive, and every one knows what good
such organizations accomplish. They
build up the town. make improve
ments, establish new industries, and
look after the interests of the town in
general, and ii there were no mer-
chants there would likely be no COM
mercial associations, SO that the credit

good legislation for it and the sur
rounding farming community in mat
tiers Of vital interest to its citizens is
due largely to the local merchants,
through whose efforts and support
such an organization is kept in exist
ence, so that if the people residing in
the town and nearby country wish to
be ranked as progressive, and to be a
factor in commercial interests, they
must see that their home merchants
are supported in every way and en-
couraged to do their best for the city's
interest, for town is always judged
by the number and class Of it's stores.
If this Is done the mail order houses
will not last long, and the retailer will
have no need of worrying about their
rightful trade being taken to city at
distance. The cooperation Of the
people with their business men is all
that is necessary and a locality where
this rule is followed will soon be rank
ed at the head of progressive CONNER
cial and industrial centers.-St. Paul

BRAVE ACT OF YOUNG LADY.
Her Presence Of Mind Probably Saved
the life If prnf Calm

Her Presence Of Mind Probably Saved
T the Life of Prof. Calm.
After binding up gaping wound in
the face of Prof H. B. Calm of Eu-
reka, with whom she had been hunt
ing, Miss Ruby Cole, a country school
teacher, barely twenty years of age
and of slight build, drove the horse and
buggy with the unconscious man lying
in the vehicle twenty-five lies across
the South Dakota prairies to Eureka,
where medical assistance could be Sc
cured.
The couple were out shooting, when
the horse SHE'D, causing the dog,
which was riding in the buggy, to
jump from the vehicle in fright. AS
the animal jumped it knocked down
the gun of Prof Calm, and the weap-
on was discharged. Most of the charge
entered the unfortunate mans face
at the chin, completely tearing away
that organ, as we'll as the right jaw.
Miss Cole at the same time was slight
ly wounded in the wrist.
Quickly tearing her handkerchief to
pieces and tearing strips from her
clothing, the girl bound the wound to-
gether as best she could, made the
wounded man as comfortable as pos
sible as he lay unconscious in the
buggy, and drove as rapidly and as
carefully as possible to Eureka, TWEEN
ty-five miles away Arriving there,
she summoned a physician, and then
made arrangements for Prof Calm to
be taken to st. Luke's hospital at
Aberdeen, where he now is, under the
care of skilled physicians and tender.
ly nursed by Miss Cole.
Physicians say that if lockjaw or
blood poisoning do not set in Calm
will recover, but he will be horribly
disfiguerd for life If it had not been
for Miss Coles presence of mind and
courage he would have bled to death
within a few minutes after the acct
dent occurred. Calm is thirty years
of age. He has been studying for the
Baptist ministry, teaching school to
pay his expenses until his ordination.
During the summer vacation he filled
the Baptist pulpit at Ipswich, where
Miss Coles home is, and the couple
met there.
When Miss Cole reached Eureka
with the injured man the buggy was
soaked with blood and her dress and
hands were covered with blood from
the wound She was almost exhausted
from the long drive alone under such
terrible conditions.
