STEAM HEAT IN A SOD HOUSE

Mover Experiment in Dakota Farmers
Seven Eioom House.
A steam heated plant in sod house
is one of the latest signs that the star
of civilization is steadily vending its
way westward, says Il special dispatch
from BoneSteel, S. D., to the st. Louis
Republic The home of Frank Gil
lispe, Il farmer near Bonesteel, is now
heated with modern plant recently
installed.
Gillispe is well TO do and says he has
no time to erect a brick home. but he
does not intend to go without the com
forts of steam heat. The sod house is
very satisfactory to him, but the stoves
which he previously used did not give
satisfaction, and he resolved upon q
more modern method.
While the sod home occupied by the
Gillispe family is not prepossessing on
the exterior, its interior is comfortably
finished. 1t has seven rooms, all of lib
eral size. The steam heating plant in
stead of being installed in a basement
is in one of the rooms adjoining the
kitchen, which is also used as store
room. Here the boiler stands and is
connected with radiators just as it
would be if located in the cellar of
fine dwelling.

Sampson commenced to tow the boat
over by the rope which stretches
from one bank OF the river to the
other. placed there for the purpose
OF preventing a boat from going over
the dam. Mr.. Winsor was sitting
in the scow and MI. Sneller was be-

up and towing. He partially lost his
balance and fell backwards in the
scow, Mr.. Winsor moving to one side
to avoid the fall. The scow dipped
to one side and turned over, throw

MllwAukEE's FIRST MOVE
Transfers the Force of Train Dis
patchers From sanborn to
Mitchell for Operation.

The first step that the Milwaukee
railroad company has made toward
concentratine its forces farther west,
by reason of its extension to the
Black Hills country, has been made
by the transfer of its train dispatch
ing force from Sanborn, Iowa. to
Mitchell. Chief Dispatcher Ander-
son and his three dispatchers have
been ordered to transfer this depart
ment of operation OF trains farther
west and they are expected to arrive
in the city within ten days. Mr..
Anderson is hunting for a house for
early occupation and he will move
here with his family.
1.-The bringing of the dispatchers to
this city means..t the Milwaukee
road intends to create In Mitchell
a western division point for the oper-
alton of trains to the Black Hills
country ana east Of here to San
corn. 1t would make it practically
impossible for the dispatchers at
Sanborn to handle the business west
of here, anG it was a point OF prac-
ticality that required the move to
be MADE.
Just where the dispatching force
will be placed when it is brought
here is something Of a question,
owing to the %inadequacy OF. the
depot. About every foot Of room is
used in the present depot and some
Temporary quarters will doubtless
bave to be rugged up to meet the re-
Quirements.
This move may lead the company
to start in on their plans for the
erection of the new depot which has
been among the possibilities for some
time.
Another Milwaukee official is
schednlsd to take up his residence
in Mitchell by the latter part OF
next week. Il. Fl. Barrett. of Jefer-
son, Iowa, who has just been APP
pointed trainmaster writes that he
has been transferred, to Mitchell to
assume charge of that class OF work.
