TRAINING STATION
ADJUNCT BOTHERS
CONGRESSMEM

The proposition to make the naval
station at Port Royal, 5. c., an ad-
junct OF the naval training station at
Newport is bothering the conferrees
on the naval appropriation blu IN con-
gress and has not yet been agreed
upon.
The plans for an adjunct TO the
Newport naval station at Port Royal
resulted from the great prevalence OF
sickness during the winter months at
Newport during the past two years.
IL is the plan to have the majority OF
the boys stationed at Newport sent to
the South 10 escape the severe North
ern climate.
The suggestion n believed to have
resulted from the investigation made
into the health situation in Newport
recently by two government medical
boards.

Boston Transcript: Really there
is getting to be a most tiresome mo-
notony in the stories we hear of short
crops and high prices. No commodf-
ty OF civilized life whether luxury or
necessity seems to be so plentiful as
to allow it to retain its s%elf-respect
ii it, sells at the old price. When
we heard, at September /, that oys-
tiers were more abundant than for
some seasons past, we thought in
u guileless way that in that shell
fish at least we should be able to
revel without being Obliged to think
twice Of how the indulgence might
affect the sum total Of the dinner
check. The illusion was short lived.
1t barely lived the month through.

the oyster and it is going up along

TO ESTABLISH SEED HOUSE
Proposition Laid Before Mitchell Bus
mess Men for a New Industry
to be Established.

Friday afternoon a dozen business
men met in the rooms OF the Mitch
ell Club to tllk over a business
proposition for the establishment OF
a seed house in Mitchell, which was
presented by Prof. w. A. Wheeler,
OF BrooKings agricultural college. q
company is being organized in the
state for the establishment of a
large seed house at some point which
will eventually be conducted on a
very large scale.
A company is to be incorporated
with a capital of 800, 600, with
$50, 600 paid in. Mr.. Wheeler stated
that the indications were encourage
ing for the seed house to be located
in Mitchell, if $40, 900 worth of stock
could be sold to Mitchell people, but
in case the industry was located
elsewhere the stock die not have to
be taken. A portion OF the stock is
held at Brookings, Aberdeen and
Highmore.
On Friday the meeting Of the
board of directors will be held at
Brookings for the election Of officers
and to select a manager for the
house, and at that time it will be
determined where the industry is to
be established.
The gentlemen in attendance at
the meeting took hold of the matter
in an enthusiastic manner and will
commence at once tu dispose Of the
amount Of stock required. Nearly
one-half OF the amount was taken
among the men who were at the
meeting and there will be no difficult
ty in disposing Of the rest.
Tie industry will consist of the
growing OF everything in the seed
line, something that is acclimated
to South Dakota and it will be Of
the purest variety. Prof. Wheeler
said that such an industry in this
state would be sure of a great sue
cess. 1t would require a large body
of land eventually to handle the
business for there was no limit to
the amount of business that could
transacted. The greater proportion
Of seeds that are shipped to this
country are Of eastern production,
and it is very evident anything
produced in South Dakota and
replanted here would be a better and
a surer producer than seeds which
were not acclimated

MULES AND CATTLE KILLED
Milwaukee Wreck Near Ki,nban Kill
ed 80 Mules Belonging to a !,
Grading Outfit.

Thirty mules and several head of
cattle were killed in d wreck on the
Milwaukee road Sunday evening
about two miles east Of Kimball. A
special freight train was transport
ing several outfit Of graders from
Murdo to the extension west of
Evarts. When a few miles out of
Kimball the trucks of one OF the.cars
to the rear Of the train left the
track and in an instant the damage
was done. There were three cars Of
mules and two cars Of grading out
fits in a bunch and ahead of these
was a a of cattle being shipped to
Vermillion.
When the n car left the rails one
OF the grading outfits vas pushed
upward and fell on top of a car of
mules, crushing the car and killing
nearly every mule in the car.
The second a was also shattered
by the force Of the rear car and the
mules in..that car were driven into a
bunch at II end, some of which
were killed.
The accident occurred just as the
train was passing over a bridge and
the wrecked cars were precipitated
down an embankment ten feet high
aud into a stream Of water that was
about four feet deep. The mules
we're dumped into the stream and
1T was quite a mixed up mess of
wrecked cars AID animals.
Some graders in forward cars got
out some tools and ropes and went
back to the assistance. In one of
the shattered cars the mules wer
wedged in so tight that they had to
be pulled with a rope attached
around their neck, and the same
thing was done in getting them out
OF the water.
The accident happened about 10
O'Clock in the evening. A force Of
men working on the %surfacine gang
was secured at Kimball and they
worked all night IN clearing up the
%wreckage, SO that in the morning
the track was in shape for traffic.
None of the men on the train were
injured.
