SURROUNTS TOWER
Of BROWNING ROCK
Man Scales Perpendicular
Mountain for Over
500 Feet.
FIRST CLIMBER INSANE
Woman Also Accomplished Great Feat
Twelve Years Before JObe Attempted
Dakota's MatteThOrn.

DEADWOOD. S. D., Aug. IA most
daring feat. which has not been ac-
complished before for over a decade,
stands to the credit of Arthur Jobe.
an engineer for the HOmestake Mining
Company lie has climbed the Devil 8
tower, that chimneylike mountain Of
solid rock that rises 500 feet above the
surrounding country and for almost 500
feet is nearly perpendicular. devoid Of
any growth OF vegetation and presents
a solid front OF rock.
Mr.. Jobe started at 1915 o'clock in
the morning and returned at 1870 o'clock
in the afternoon. The first part of the
climb was not so dimcult. as the re-
mains Of an old ladder that had been
put up by a former climber assisted
him.
Climbs on Rocky Projections.
The lower part of the ladder had been
burned away, probably in an attempt 10
keep people from attempting this rash
act. After leaving the ladder he climbed
as best he could from one tiny projec-
ton of rock TO another. His shoes had
been cast aside long before. Some
times his only chance OF going forward
and escaping falling hundreds OF feet
upon the rocks below was 20 brace him
self between the peculiar columns which
complete the structure.
Arrived at the top. he found a large
fiat piece of country, without soil save
for the disintegrated rock, but bearing
cactus, moss, and ferns. It is large
enough in area for a baseball team 10
play good game.
The descent was the most perilous
part. as he was obliged 20 descend back
ward part of the time letting himself
down inch by inch, bracing himself by
his elbows and limbs against the friendly
columns.

BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
What to Do to Add to the
Beauty and General Ap-
pearance Of the Heights.
Suburb Will Not Be Improved
by skeptics-lt Takes Pro-
qressiVe Men to Move.

What ought to be done for public
Improvement on the Heights this
spring? 1t is getting near to the time
when some sort Of plans should be
made. In the past there has been al
together too much discord in this kind
of work.
One will say oh what is the use OF
doing anything up here. Mendenhall
and Craig get all the benef1t of it, and
as we improve the looks of the place
they increase the price of the vacant
lots and discourage further building"
Another will voice his sentiments
about as follows: Il have got all l
can do to work on my own place. Let
others do the same"
To the first objection we would
answer. There is much truth in what
you say about Mr.. Mendenhall and
Craig, but we have our own interests
to consider as we'll. What is the use in
living in a desolate looking community
all of your life. We want the trees,
the shrubs, the green lawns and the
fragrant flowers. They are all within
our reach with little effort.
To the second skeptic We would re-
ply: We are glad that you are do
ing so much for yourself but whatever
beauty is placed about your home. will
be: destroyed by surrounding I'M
slightly appearance. A flower doesn't
look pretty midst a mess of weeds.
There must be cooperative effort on
the part of those who live here if
anything is to be made Of the Heights.
There are a number of good hearted
public spirited citizens on the Heights
who are ever willing to turn a hand
for the general good of the community.
If you will notice it you will find that
these same people have the prettiest
surroundings about their residences.
1t is odd how these things work to-
Now while spring is approaching let
US all turn over new leaf and let
us rival one another in trying to add
beauty to Duluth Heights. -.
