Pool Room FambIers in Portland Beat
ing Sheriff Word.
Portland, Jan. 27.-Although the pool
rooms OF Portland have been closed by
the sheriff, gambling on horseracins
still fionrisnes in a small way. On
Fourth street. between Alder ana
washington, can generally be found a
number Of men standing around as
though they had nothing Of importance
to do but who in reality are booksellers,
carrying with them books which they
use for that purpose when they get
customer
This method is not new in Portland,
as for some time these street gamblers
have been in operation. One Of them
is man. too. who Is now facing the
law on the charge of having operated
a poolroom and while he awaits his
final sentence he is enjoying himself
at his favorite pastime.
Some of those who have watched the
sly operations of the street booksellers
have expressed doubt that they could
make living in that way, as then
amount of business would be too small
But it must have proven source OF
profit, since 1t has been in operation
for several weeks and is growing more
noticeable continually. AZ

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 26.-The latest
revelation in railroad circles indicate
that the movements of the surveyors
who have been working in this section
of the state are directed by the Cana
dian Paciic-Soo roads.
It is asserted hat in the Minneapolis
and ST. Louis, the Canadian Pacific II
the 500 have found an outlet to st.
Louis and the south which a be OBJ
tanned by securing control of the for
mer road.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis has a
South Dakota branch running into Wa
tertown and the 500 has for a number
of years owned a right of way from its
North Dakota line down through Nc
Pherson county, striking Leola, the
county seat, and extending to Aber-
deem.
1t is believed to be the intention of
the 500. through the Minneapolis and
st. Louis, to build the link which will
unite the WATERFOWL branch with the
500 line in North Dakota.
The proposed line would prove a
profitable one, as it would run through
an exceedingly rich and prosperous
section of the country.
1t is known that Minneapolis and st.
Louis officers have sought to secure OPP
tions on land for townsite purposes in

Canistota Man Inventor of a Wireless
Check Row Planter.

Canistota, S. D., Oct. 26.-H. F. Spald-
ing, OF this place, has just patented an
invention Of a wireless check row corn
planter. During the past eight months,
without ceasing from his regular oc-
cupation, he has completed this inven-
ton.
What the self binder was to harvest
ing this machine, he says, is to corn
planting. The essential principle is
what might be called a surveying ma
chine which sets and pulls it's own
stakes at regular intervals. These
stakes are borne on an endless chain
which in turn is borne on an endless
chain eight feet long, parallel with the
ground and swung from the arched CEN
ter of the axle of the planter. A rod
called the rockshaft protrudes from
each side of the main frame catching
on the stakes, which are set at exactly
regular intervals, trips the planter and
plants the corn in exactly straight
rows, regardless of rough or uneven
ground. On starting, a lever plants the
first three stakes. These start the chain,
which runs backwards, bearing and
planting stakes ahead of the rock shaft
and pulling the stake which has just
tripped as the chain passes back to
set again. These stakes are always in
the ground and cause the reverse mo-
ton of the chain,

LOSES FOSTER PARENTS.
Father Begins Rabeas Corpus Pro
ceedings to Get Child Away.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 24.-Judge
Marquis, of the state circuit court for
the Third circuit, has taken under i'd
visement a case of an unusual charaC-
ter.
The suit consists Of habeas corpus
proceedings instituted by r. j. Sunde,
of Luverne, Mimi, for the recovery of
his S-year-old daughter Stella, who for
some years has been in possession of
Mr.. and Mrs. Drydal, prominent resi-
dents of Bookings county, S. d.
Some years 6 Mr.. Sunde's wife
died, leaving three children, two sons
and the daughter Stella. Sunde n
the Drydals entered into an agreement
whereby the latter were to adops Stella
as their own child and care for her un-
til she had been confirmed in The
church to which both families belonged.
Mr.. and Mrs. Drydal had NJ children
of her own and were delighted to adopt
the little girl, who a been given
every advantage that wealth and kind
foster parents could provide. They
clothed and fed her well and are giving
her q good education.
Mr.. Sunde finally remarked and de-
sired that his little daughter should re-
turn to his home. But the ties of love
for her foster parents proved too strong
and she appealed to her father to per-
nit her to remain where she was.
Efforts were made to adjust the diff
ficulty out of court, but without sue
cess, and recently Mr.. Sunde insti-
tuted habeas cOrpus proceedings for the
recover of his daughter.
Pending a decision in the case Judge
Marquis has appointed Mr.. and Mrs.
Drydal agents for the court and COM
mitted the child to their care.
