DIES MONIES, Dec. 25.-CSpecial. Cedar
Rapids will put UP the stffest Kind Of a
fight at the state teachers convention
which opens tomorrow evening here for
the convention Of next year. The conven-
ton was held at Cedar Rapids one or two
years, but for the most part has been
held annually at Des Moines. Cedar Rapids
has never given up the hope of getting the
convention back. The place of holding
the annual convention is fixed each year
by the executive committee of three mem
bers. County Superintendent u. c. Thorn
burg of Des Mones will be chairman of
the committee next year and will, of course.
vote for this city. Prof. F. f. Bolton of
the State university at Iowa City, it is
claimed. will vote for Cedar Rapids and
the determining factor will be the mem
her OF the eNecutiv5 committee to be
elected as successor to Clifford of Council
Bluffs. 1t Is claimed among school men
that there is dissatisfaction with Des
Moines because the business men have not
been more responsive in assisting to get
better railroad rates and because the
hotels have not been more accommodating.
Some OF the school men claim that the
Des Moines hotels and business men are
taking il for granted that the association
will continue to meet here and IL they con-
tinue on the course are likely to get left.
Some of the early arrivals to the Conven-
ton are now in the city and it is learned
that the first matter launched is a move
TO take the convention next year to Cedar
Rapids. The man to be elected on the
executive committee in place of Clifford
will likely be from the western part of

VIII Not Print Address.

State Superintendent John F. Riggs will
not have his address to be delivered be-
fore the state teachers convention Friday
printed in pamphlet form for distribution
as has been the custom with other super

of the job printers has so thrown behind
the printing of the state work at the Iowa
Printing companys plant that the address
could not be printed in time for distribu-

Aberdeen, S. d., Dec. 1.-THE jury

Yankton, S. D., Dec. 12.-The customary
quiet and orderliness of the student body
of Yankton college was somewhat dis
turbed Saturday night when the Thegn,
the senior society, undertook to give a
banquet on the quiet, something inexcus-
able OF course to those not let into the
secret. The first the Thegns knew that the
opposition was on the warpath was when
the lady guest of honor failed to show up.
Inquiry revealed she had been spirited
away in a cab. After nearly two hours
delay the lady was rescued and three of
the ringleaders were captured, tied fast to
chairs, their faces blacked and the trio
turned face to the wall while the banquet
went on merrily. AT the close of the ban
quet the services of the photographer was
secured and the three students were mug
Matters were interesting for while and
the police dropped in to see that the limit
was not exceeded AS the banquet took
place at the Harris hotel on the main
street quite a large crowd gathered to view

The longest term of court held here in
ten years is at last adjourned after the
cleaning up of a calendar of fifty cases,
about evenly divided between GRIM

FARMERS BAND TOGETHER.
Plans for COOPERATIVE Creamery Ar
Submitted

Hot Springs. S. d.. Dec. 4.-Under
the leadership of Casper Duenner1nann
a prominent farmer living. in this vicin-
ity, the matter of forming a co-opera-
tive creamery company and establish
ing a creamery in this city is being
agitated. The project is receiving the
encouragement of every business man
of Hot Springs and farmers of this 10
cality. Large quantities of butter are
now shipped into Hot Springs and 9TH
er towns Of the Black Hills, and the
establishment of creamery here
would enable the people to be supplied
with a home product of butter. This
would mean many thousands of dollars
each year to the people of the Black
Hills towns and would keep the money
at home, instead of it's being sent out
of the state, as is now the case. No
finer dairy region exists than that sur
rounding Hot Springs. and there is NO
doubt that when the creamery is es-
tablished it will prove great financial
success from the start. A meeting of
the farmers in the country tributary
to Hot Springs will soon be called for
the purpose of organizing a co-opera-
tive company with the object of at once
going ahead with the work of establish
ing the creamery.

FOR LAND PROTECTION.
Black Hills Owners Organizing TO Saw.
Legal Riqhts.

Hill City, $. d., Dec. 1s.-Interest CEN
ters in the Home Builders Protective
association of the Black Hills, which
was recently organized by ranch own
ers of the central and southern Hills.
When the government set aside the
Black Hills forest reserve as a public
domain, it virtually took away the right
of ownership for a good many ranches
scattered throughout the gulches. The
owners of these ranches had made
placer locations, expecting. to obtain
their ground under the placer law and
in this way get possession. There were
several hundred, however, who at the
time the reserve was set aside, Septem
ber 10. 1898, had not proved up on their
holdings and the reserve law virtually
demanded that the ranches be aban-s
toned. A special act of congress was
obtained which made 1t possible for
those who had made these placer loca-
tions prior to September 10, 1898, to
prove up on them as f1omesteads. This
was done in good many cases, but at
the present time there are several hun
dred ranch owners who have no way
of proving up on their holdings on the
present ruling of the law

SAW MILLS WILL BUZZ.
Big Woods Along Missouri River to Be
Made Into Lumber.

Miller, S. d., Dec. 12.-According to
the Forest City Press, Iowa parties are
Investigating along the Missouri river
with a view of purchasing the timber
tracts, putting in portable mills and
saving the logs into lumber.
There are great many good belts OF
timber along the stream, and numerous
islands in the river are we'll covered
with large trees. Ash, elm. cottonwood
and box elder constitute the larger 'por-
ton of the trees, although there are
other varieties.
Probably OF the many thousands of
people who have passed through the lit
tie pioneer town of Rec Heights, twelve
miles west OF here. few realized that
situated on the steep slope north of the
Rec hills, about three miles south of
the village, was a small belt of nat
ural timber that appears to have pros
pered there for ages.
Some of the trees are fairly large and
must have afforded a shady rest for
travellers and prospectors of the early
days.
Springs of water are common there
and the grove must have offered an at
tractive harbor for buffalo and deer.
This is the only grove in this range of
hills that may be seen for many miles
distant from the north and west
There are many of the larger groves
of timber nestled in the gulches with
brooks running through them, but they
are unknown except to those acquaint-
ed with the country.
Besides having withstood the fierce
prairie fires of the early years, the trees
in this grove that still prosper out in
the open, facing the north winds, must
have been pierced by the poisoned ar
rows of the Indian warriors who
fought one OF their deadly battles in
and around it.
The government troops also fought
the Sioux within bullet distance of this
grove. Mounds show that many We're
buried in the vicinity as a result of
these battles.

historic grove stands was filed on and
