Ever since Mitchell put in a sewer
system there has been trouble as to
the disposal of the sewage. Vain eff
forts have been made in years past
! to dispose Of it., but bad conditions
have always remained. The city coun-
Gil has just commenced the erection
Of septic tank to cost $1,000. The
talk is placed in the southeastern part
of the city. 1t is 40 by ITO feet, and
will be 5 feet deep. 1t will be lined
with concrete three feet thick at the
bottom and two feet overhead. The
chemical action which takes place
turns the refuse into water that is
from 80 to 95 per cent pure, and there
is no odor. The system will be in
working order in about month.
Work has commenced on Mitchell's
new corn palace, to be 100 by 142 feet.
stone foundation is being laid that
will add to the permanency of the
affair. There is but two months in
which to construct the building and
decorate it, but enough men will be
engaged to do the work and have
everything in readiness for the open
ing on Sept. 25. The structure will
cost $4,000 when it is completed, and
will seat over 1000 people in the gal
lery and lower floor. All the booths
will be placed on the first floor and

The valuation Of Dawson county
amounts to $3,623, ASP, which is nearly
100000 in excess of the valuation
OF 1904. The increase comes from a
higher value being placed on real es-
tate and larger number of cattle,
horses and hogs. The population by
the new census is 1O,O31. Five wears
ago it was 74S3.

scHooLMA'AMs IN DEMAND.
South Dakota Rural Boards of Educa
ton in Dilemma,


A shortage of school teachers is
reported in some parts of Hanson
county, and the boards of education
in some of the districts have been
compelled to resort to the unusual
method of advertising for school
ma ans.
OF the five teachers needed in Jas
par township only one has thus far
been secured, Notwithstanding that all
the teachers are usually engaged
about the first of August. In another
township, which also needs five teach
ers. not one has yet been secured and
the members of the hoard have not
the slightest idea where they will be
able to get teachers for the schools
during the coming year.
In some of the counties in the ex-
IRENE western part of the state, in the
Black Hills region, boards of educa-
tion have hard work to secure and
hold women teachers, for the reason
that after they have been in the coun-
try for a short time they usually fell
in love with and married ranchmen.
Many Eastern ladies who during the
last two or three years accepted po-
sitiOnS in the schools of Butte. Meade
and other counties in Western South
Dakota speedily secured ranchmen
husbands and left the school boards in
the lurch by abandoning their school
work in perhaps the middle of the
school year. But in Hanson county
no such cause is assigned for the
shortage of school teachers. In fact,
it is not known just why there should
be such shortage in the visible sup
ply OF teachers.

indians Drinking Too Much-Fears for
the Future.

SuS TUkUFC.
An outbreak of the Sioux Indians
on the Rosebud reservation is appre-
hended and preparations are being
made by the whites to protect their
homes. The cause of the trouble is
primarily the recent Interpretation of
the law by Justice Brewer, granting
the Indians holding allotments a right
to buy liquor. For an Indian, once he
has taste of liquor, will never end
his drinking until he is stone blind.
And once drunk, an Indian, displeased

er.
AS matter of fact the Indians have
never felt quite right over the Rosebud
land drawing, and their anger is in
creasing instead Of diminishing. Last
night six Indians, each armed with
big gun, quarreled with a bartender
in Smith Brothers saloon at DalI>s
over the land proposition. The bar
tender beat one of them almost to
death with bottles while the proprie-
tor, with two big Colt revolvers point
ed at the braves, held them motionless
during the fight. eff one of you moves

jured man did not regain conscious

seven stitches were necessary to sew

Was II Base Raup

Last Monday afternoon the Linton
reds crossed bats with the Indians
at Fort Yates and ever since then
they have been trying to find out
what struck them. The easiest way
to tell the tale is to give tile score
which was Linton, 2; Indians, IL. In
spite of the fact that the Lintonites
failed to make good, credit must be
given to Stember for the excellent
work he did while in the box. In one
inning with the bases full he struck
out the third man and in the next
inning with three men on bases he
retired the side by striking out two
men. The boys were we'll taken care
OF at the Fort and everything possible
was done to make their visit pleasant.

ALL is not not plain sailing in con-
nection with building of the Panama
canal, and it is beginning to appear
plainly that the great transconti-
mental railways have not ceased their
efforts to prevent or delay the con-
struction Of the canal: For many
years the efforts to secure legislation
for the building Of the great water
way met with strong covert opposi-
tion on the part of the Pacific rail-
ways. or course with the Panama
canal in operation large tunnagc of
freight would 20 east in ships. At
present practically all of such freight
goes to Pacific tide water by one Of
trunk railways. That there is a Sc
cret organized opposition to the con-
struction of the recent events show
clearly, and consists of successful ef-
forts to deprive the government of
the services Of civil engineers and
other men of great technical know
ledge whose services are necessary to
the prompt completion of the canal.
But Uncle Sam is a hard proposition
to tackle; and President Roosevelt
says that '"The canal can and must
be built" So it is not likely that
the organized opposition Of Pacific
railroads will succeed in greatly de-
laying a work SO absolutely necessary
to our nations great career us IL world
power.

Meat Keep Fresh.

A correspondent writes as follows
to Valley City paper:
Seeing so many people stop and
look at our piece of meat hung in a
tall tree, about thirty feet up, moves
me to write a word of exclana tion
Some Of them laugh, some look mys-
titled, while Others look as though
that IS all they want to know ABOUT
that outfit. A couple OF years ago
some one told US that meat hung up
twenty feet in the air would keep for
a long time. This fact is not gener-
ally known and less generally believed
until tried and proven. We we're
skeptical too when we first heard OF
the scheme, but we took a poor piece
Of beef with II large bone in it and
hung it in the wind mill over thirty
feet up and left it there two hot,
damp weeks in August. Then we
brought it down and dissected it.
We found it dried thinly all over the
outside but perfectly sweet, bone and
all, and! u fly hadn't been near it.
Since then we have kept pork, beef
and veal for days at a time in the
very hottest weather and never had
a piece spoil yet. The old way we
would 90 to the butcher and get
enough to last two days, which with
out ice was enough and sometimes
too much. The rest Of the week we
ate salt pork because farmer can't
afford to 90 SO far to town more than
once a week. Now, where there Is u
wind mill fasten a pully on the tow
er up about thirty feet and the meat
can be raised and lowered with a
rope, being great saver Of time and
temper and also being safer than
carrying twenty-five or more pounds
up on ones back. And with the
pully the women can get their meat
themselves without waiting for a
man. Then the pully makes 1t pos
sible to use a pole on the end OF the
house or barn where there is no wind
mill. The pully should be put ON
the pole before mailing the poll to
tile building. The hired man, no
matter how obliging, wouldn't care
to oclimba small pole on top Of the
barn.
Farmers would use three times as
much fresh meat as they do If they
could and not be on the road all tile
