New Mineral Found in Alaska.

recent discovery 120 miles below
Rampant on the Yukon has aroused
intense interest in the north. James
Langford, a Rampant pioneer, has
found vein of mineral of the con-
sistency of chalf and of an indigo
blue in color. 1t can be used as ordi-
nary chalk. None of the Alaskan
minerologists can identify it and it is
being sent to Seattle for analysis.
There are now in Alaska probably a
dozen unidentified specimens of min
erals and one of the many benefits to
Alaska and Yukon of the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc Exposition, which will
be held at Seattle in 1909, will be the
assembling and classifying of those
now unknown specimens. In many
cases the owners of the veins of I'M
identified minerals believe that they
stand a chance of winning great
wealth as their find may be some
hitherto undiscovered combination.
AS original research work will go on
all the time the exposition is in pro-
gress one of the first duties of the
savants in charge of this branch will
be the identifying of these unknown
elements or combinations, and the
adapting of them to some CONNER
cial purpose.

South Dakota for Taft.

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader calls
attention to the fact that the primaries
to select delegates TO the county conven-
tions which In turn send delegates TO
held in South Dakota on the second
Tuesday III March. The county conven-
tions will be held one week later, and
the state convention will be held on the
first Tuesday in April--a little less than
a year hence. This will be the first pol.
itics OF the year. In this same connec-
ton the Argus. Leader says: "The
forthcoming visit of Secretary Taft to
the west will tend to crystalline the Taft
retary will spend week in South Da-
kota as the guest of Senator kittredge
and he will be able to learn at first hand
W hat the republicans of South Dakota
think about him. Ever since Senator
Kittredge boldly declared himself for
Taft about six weeks ago there has been
much discussion in South Dakota, and
Taft stock has been rapidly advancing
because it is we'll understood here that
Taft is the Roosevelt candidate, and be-
cause President Roosevelt is immensely
popular in South Dakota. The attempt
to handicap the Taft boom in South Da-
kota has made no progress, and if the
delegates were chosen this spring, there
could be no doubt about the outcome
No other candidate, as matters now
stand, could take South Dakota away
from Secretary Taft His early visi,
here will add to his popularity, and We
imagine that long before the time foi
the selection of delegates, Secretary
Taft will be the only candidate seriously
considered by the republicans of this
state"

Way TO KIN tie Pine Beetle.

! A Washington dispatch under date OF
May 18th says; The forestry bureau
has taken steps to eradicate the Engle-
mann spruce beetle which has been at
tackiug Rocky Mountain forests. As a
result of investigations made by A. d.
Hopkins of the bureau of entomology,
in the Lincoln forest reserve in New
Mexico, an effective campaign can be
waged against the pest.
The government entomologist discov-
cred that the grubs may be killed by re-
moving the bark from the lower trunks
of the trees before the first of May. The
broods pass the winter and spring in the
inner bark of trees attacked by the par
ent beetle during the preceding summer.
That as many as possible of the insects
might be destroyed, the forest service
during the past summer permitted the
free use Of infected timber to all persons
who would remove the bark from the
lower and middle parts OF the trees. The
peeled logs were allowed to remain in
the woods until all the infected trees
that could be felled were down and the
bark removed. The work of fighting the
destroyer can be successfully accomplish
ed only before the first part of May.
This years campaign is over, but will be
renewed next spring.

The government is looking for from
500 to 1000 hardy, industrious farmers
to accept farms on rather novel plan
for little or nothing. There are strong
efforts being made by the government
now to settle up the irrigable west. The
call for volunteer farmers is part of this
campaign. There is about $4,000 acres
of land, good farming land, much of 1T
already under ditch and more being put
there on the Uintah Indian Reservation.
This is the reservation from which a
war party of Utes recently broke away

and South Dakota. The Indians do not
