Last spring when l was digging
for den of young foxes in the old
Mariaville burying ground l came up
on a rotten coffin that had been
wrapped in birch withes for more
than seventy-ive years. The ash
boards crumbled at the touch OF my
spade. The coffin plate was rusted so
that | could not make out any name.
But those coiled and twisted limbs OF
sapling yellow birch were still strong
enough to hold yoke of oxen.
1T seems as if those old chaps who
cleared up farms for us and then inn
poverished the soil so it could grow
no crops were associated pretty init
mately with withes from the time they
came into the world until they quit
it for good. The hood of the cradle
was made from yellow birch limbs
woven in basket work.
"The first time and every time the
child went wrong he received an ap-
plication Of yellow birch in the place
where yellow birch did most good i.
From early manhood to old age withes
were the most useful and the most
needful articles about the farm, and
when death stepped in and wound up
the business sheaf of birch withes
enwrapped the coffin and held it in
shape until all inside had turned to
dust. New York Sun.

MARTIN TALKS ON TRUSTS.

South Dakota Congressman at Lin

Congressman e. w. Martin of Soutl
Dakota was the principal speaker a,
the annual banquet of the Lincoln
club at st. Paul. Mr.. Martin spoke
on the trust problem The tenor o1
his remarks was that the American
people will solvo the question. He
said in part:
"They are the hope Of the nation
they have fought its battles in war

peace. and he was positive could now

Martin explained, for the one as rule
is good, while the other Is invariably
bad. They are menace to the coun

shown any mercy. These evils. are
national, and can be remedied by ma
tional legislation"
The principal remedy advocated by
Congressman Martin was publicity.

VermIiIicn In Doubt About Taking
Over Two Plants,

vermilIicn In Doubt About Taking
Over Two Plants.
Sentiment seems to be growing at
Vermillion that some move should be
made looking to the purchase of the
watcrworks and electric light plants.
The theory Is held by many that with
the city could not only better the
service but would reduce the cost to
patrons. There are others, however,
who question the advisability Of buy
ing either plant, especially as the city
would have to be bonded heavily to
make the deal. Just at present the
taxpayers Of Vermillion are paying
about all they can reasonably stand,
and this may have a great deal to do
with the defeat of bonds should they
be voted on. Practically every cent
of money that goes into the city treas
ury comes through taxation. Reve.
nue. from other sources will not ex-
ceed $500.
For some time the Milwaukee com.
pany has been desirous of enlarging
it's stock yards in Vermillion, but in
order to do this the company was
compelled to bring condemnation pro-
ceedings to secure title to fourteen
lots near the station. At q special
term of court before Judge E. G.
Smith of Yankton, the jury decided
that the lots in question were worth
$50 each. Miss Carrie Daily on the
witness stand, testified that the lots
were worth at least 500 each to her
She is the principal owner, having
eleven Of the fourteen lots in her
name. However, the Milwaukee com.
pany can have the bunch of lots at
$50 per lot, as the owners have signi.
fled their intention to accept the jury's
verdict.

GOOD SPRING PROSPECTS.

South Dakota Counties. Anticipate
Great Activity In Few Months.
The food tide OF immigration will
strike South Dakota this spring. The
region west Of the Missouri will be
the scene OF the greatest activity.
The settlers have taken advantage Of
the open winter to push out to the
laud. and filling has been going on
rapidly at Pierre and Chamberlain.
All available lands in Lyman and
Stanley counties are being picked up
rapidly.
New towns are building and others
projected. Presho on the Milwaukee
extension, has grown from nothing to
1000 in a year. Midland, on the sur
veyed line OF the Northwestern, con-
fidently expects similar growth in
the spring. The town will be plated
and lots put on sale in March. Let
ters from prospective residents arc
pouring in from all parts of the coun-
try inquiring for definite statements
as to the future of the town.
WORK In the cuts and on bridges
Is being pushed by the Northwestern
during the winter months. The tenn
porary bridge across the Missouri at
Pierre can only be used during the
winter months, and will have to be
rebuilt next winter. The permanent
bridge viii not be ready for use be-
fore 1907. The Gregory county Inter-
state Telephone company has been Or
ganized at Bonesteel and is pushing
its lines west alcag the extension OF

stockmen smile and say the land will
soon be for sale after patented. 9th

raised here as east Of the river. II
| vegetation can be taken as an indica.
ton, the soil should be good. The
grass is better here than east OF the

and no sand. 1t is believed by many
of the ranchmen who have been long
on the ground and have experimental

| f1ciently productive to make excellent
homes for the settlers. Their expe-
rience shows that there is an increase
