Cedar wood is much esteemed by
farmers for its lasting qualities
when used for fence posts. An in
teresting proof OF the power of this
wood to resist the effects of time Is
furnished by the Egyptian boats
made of cedar which were recently
found buried near the banks OF the
Nile, and which, according 10 recent
estimates of their age, We're prob
ably in use $500 years ago. The
fact must not be overlooked, how
ever, that these boats were covered
by the dry sand of the desert.

Soil Reclamation Problems.

The great dam at Belle Fourche
was given a preliminary test last
week and proved a complete success,
thereby enhancing greatly the value
of the land coming within the scope
OF the gigantic irrigation project.
Sofl that not long ago seemed
doomed to everlasting baroness
will through irrigation, be made over
into a garden. Where once the cat
tie eked out a scanty existence. the
pillow and the harvester will hold
sway. Thus progress has taken an
other trick in the game of rescu-
ing the arid land of our state from
its sterile condition.
The agent used in the project just
mentioned was the water in the
Belle Fourche and Redwater rivers,
which will be disseminated through
ont the district by means Of the il
rigation bitches, whose use is sub
ject to regulations based on the
best scientific principles.
Unfortunately rivers containing a
vi WulSl Sluai " iitSS VI VI
Belle Foqirche and Redwater, are
not always found, so conveniently
adjacent to a sterile district and il
the soil in such a spot is to be
quickened at all, other methods fol
its reclamation must be devised, g
problem tho men who delve in scien'
tific problems are now endeavorins
to solve.
A method of treating the dry sol
of uplands that from all accounts
should be very successful if applied
to some of the districts near Rapit
City, at present given over to de
siretude, is known as the Campbell
system.
Recently a few men residing il
this city became interested in thu
merits of this system to such an ex
teri, that plans for a practical ties
were made, but owing to the lack o
interest manifested, the trial wa'
never made.
Provided the Campbell system
could be successfully used in tn
vicinity of Rapid City, the benefit
to be derived thereby ought to max
a thorough test of the schem'
worth while in any event. Til
Belle Fourche country is in a fai
way to bountiful harvests, now TIL
irrigation project is established an
it is more than possible that by som
such method as the Campbell sys

The report of the committee on
resolutions the National Civic
Federation convention at Chicago
last week urges upon congress a
new law for the curbins; of trusts
to meet the changed conditions which
arisen during a long period Of
active progress in the enforcement
of old laws and in the removal of
abuses in the management of cor
p%orations. The changes suggested
are, first, to permit agreements be-
tween railroad corporations on rea-
enable freight and passenger rates,
subject to the approval of the inter
state commerce commissions; and,
second, as the next step in executing
the will of the people to secure
Justice and equality of opportunity
for ALL" the creation of a non
partisan commission in which the in
terests of capital, labor and Of the
general public shall be represented.

as shall preserve individual initia-

else of a free contract in all business
and industrial relations" In con
nection with this law the Civic Fed.
GRAFTON urges that legislation should
modify the prohibition now existing

Citations of farmers and combinations

commission should make a thorough

About a month ago there came
into New York with a cargo of her

Columbia. The old cup boat is now
plying between Boston and Lahra-

she appears IS ralish looking as of

Curator Gordon of the University
of Pennsylvania's archaeological de

from Alaska, brings word of a new
race which he discovered on the
hitherto uneXplored koshokWin
river. He says these people now
number only about 400. and are UNI
like either EsquimauX or Athabas-
cans. They show strong traces of
Asiatic ancestry. They had never
seer a white man before, and crime
is unknown among them. They have
no laws, being governed by priests,
who are patriarchs. They are all in
telligent, and their religion is nature
worship of a high order. Instead
of dressing in skins they use the
breasts of looms.

true that the preside is not dread

quarter. and he H., spent many
hours recently in dis lssing this i'm

take place at night as we'll as dur

served to show that it will be diff

one reason why the president did
not agree with the great interests
which recently appealed to him to
call an extra session of congress i'm

q man who probably knows more
aboutAmerican history than any other
Englishman and who has written In
terestingiy about It, the words should
be doubly appreciated. Mr.. Bryce
said -

HEALTH A. GROWTH.

Why osteopathH Promotes Meath.
Tha standard Of physical health Is
governed by the processes of growth,
and change constantly taking. place in
the body. Disease is simply a modt-
fication Of this, processes beyond, ply
siOlogical limits Of health: resulting
from alterations of blood or lymph
dow or nerve nauences-whether the
exciting cause be physical. as from
disturbed mechanical relation Of the
body paEts; or chemical, as from i'm
proper diet.
Unimpeded circulation and nerve in
fiuenee is absolutely essential to
health. and unless these conditions
exist the futiIity Of attempting to So
cure health from, a bottle or pill box
is plainly apparent.
Almost any disease is made possible
TO happen because of disturbed me-
chanical relation OF the body parts--tn
particular as found in luxattons or
slips OF the bones composing the
spinal column; from which nerves pass
to every part of the body. and control
their action and condition Of health.
The osteopath, trained as a skilled
mechanic In the knowledge or the body
and its functions, makes careful search
for these causes of disease and by the
use of his hands, mechanically adjusts
the disturbed parts, and sees to /,
that no nerve, blood vessel or lymp-
hottie suffers from tension or pressure
in any part of the body. thus allow
ing normal conditions of blood and
nerve supply to prevail--health result
ing. These are the newest facts and
most certain methods Of curing
chronic functional ills yet discovered
by man. Free consultation. We court
