CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OPEN SOON
NEW HEATING PLANT BEING IN
STALLED in HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING,
Last Years Teachers Retired and
Only One Vacancy-Thc Eighth
Grade to- be Filled.

The school board expects to open
school by not later than October /.
A contract was made with the
Sweeney Hardware Company to in
stall a heating plant in the High
school building during the summer,
but the firm was unable to get the
plant here before this week; they
now have a large force of mon at
work putting in the plant and will
rush the work as fast as possible.
1t is safe in saying that school
will be opened not later than Octo-
Der first, and probably before that
date.
The principal, assistants and
teachers of last year We're secured

one vacancy. The teacher of the
eighth grade resigned after her cleo

70 IMPROVE THE
WESTERN RANGE
REsEEDING THE RANGE WITH
CULTIVATED GRASSES.
Studies and Experiments to Increase
the Forage Oh the All-Important
Summer Range.

The livestock industry turns to
account one of the greatest natural
resources Of the west-the forage
crop.
From the plains to the Pacific an
o%nishingly large proportion of the
area is grazing land. 1t is estimated
that this region contains over 4vv,-
600, acres which are useful at
present only for pasturipg stock.
A map printed in colors to bring out
the main areas OF agricultural, graz
ing, and desert lands was published
not long ago. 1t showed the graz
ing land color spread like a sheet
over nearly all of this grand domain,
which comprises something like one
third of the entire United States,
with relatively minor patches Of
other colors. In arid ranges the
range is comparatively poor, but al
most everywhere enough forage
plants can grow to make grazing
profitable.
The forest service in cooperation
with the Bureau of Plant Industry,
has begun a series of experiments to
find out how the carrying power Of
grazing lands within national for
ests can be increased. In a nutshell.
the problems are, first, how to grow,
and second, how to utilize, the larg-
est amount of forage. The eonclu-
sions reached are likely to have an
important bearing on improved use
of the open range generally. The
economic possibilities Of these exper-
iments are enormous.
In the past stockmen on the pub
lie lands have simply taken what ma
ture offered them. But grazing tends
to put nature at a disadvantage.
Plants which propagate by seed, for
example, have nc chance when the
seed stalks are being eaten OF all
the time. In many grazing sections
the carrying power of the range has
been very greatly reduced through
the present methods OF use. Within
national forests the restriction OF
the number of stock to the capacity
of the range has already checked the
worst evils which result from over
grazing. But the new investiga-
lions promise much greater things.

RAPID CITY HAS FAST
LINOTYPE MN
HOE CAULEY AND Il. II. HARTER
BEAT SIOUX FALLS OVER
200 LINES.
Now Claim Championship of South
Dakota and arc Ready to Defend
the Title.

On August so, the Sioux Falls
Daily Press published an article set
ting forth the skill of the linotype
operators on that paper. The paper
stated that the day operator, A. j.
Albrook, set 2,4vU lines on August
%, while Mr.. Nelson, the night man,
set 2,12O lines, each working eight
hours at the machine. This record
the paper claims, gives the Sioux
Falls men the championship Of the
state.
The Sioux Falls men certainly
made good records, but there lis
nothing very startling about their
feat when you consider what the
Rapid City linotype operators are
capable of doing, and Sioux Falls
will have to come again OF sur
render the belt to Messrs. Cauley
and Harter Of the Gate City Of The
Black Hills.
On Monday, September O., Joe
Cauley set 2,G15 lines of S-point in
eight hours while Frank Harter set
2,G12 lines. On Tuesday, September
3, Harter set 1855 lines while Cauley
set 1858. These gentlemen haven't
been making any unnecessary noise
about their skill, but when the Sioux
Falls paper talked out loud and
claimed the championship, etc.
Messrs. Cauley and Harter sat VI
and took notice.
Now it is up TO our Sioux Falls
brethren to make good or send
over the belt.

ABUSED WIFE TAKES POISON
Discouraged Because Husband Re-
fused to Reform She Concludes
To End Her Misery.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Aug. 81
Because she had been compelled to
have her husband arrested for abus-
ing her and he had refused to re-
form, Mrs. Beatrice Dougherty swal-
lowed a quantity of laudinum and
may die.
George Dougherty and his wife
came here from Sheridan, Wyoming,
some time ago and he secured work
on the government ditch. He drank
a great deal and when intoxicated
frightfully beat his wife. On the
last occasion he was sentenced to
twenty days in Jail. Mrs. Dougherty
visited his cell and pleaded, with
Linn to no avail. She at once went
outside and swallowed the dose and
was discovered just before life was
extinct.

OUR Timber RESOURCES
Timber Getting Scarce and Fast Get
ting Under Control of Timber
MOnOpOlics.

A point in tn industrial progress
of the United States has now been
reached where development of the
country is made, not in the face of
the forest but with its essential aid.
The old process of e%xhausting the
supply Of timber in a region and
then seeking new fields is practically
over. Already the lumber industry
is turning back on it's tracks. A
quality OF timber is eagerly sought
in the lake states which a few years
ago was ignored as utterly worthless
and in the South the whole pine re-
| gion is being gone over in a close
search for the old field pine, a tree
once despised but now bought up
at prices much higher than those
formerly paid for the magnificent
timber Of the virgin forests.
A publication just issued by the
Department of Agriculture, entitled
National Forests and the Lumber
Supply" defines the important part
which the national forests are to
play in the economic development of
the country. Abuses have sprung
up under the laws which provide for
the disposition of public land, nota-
bly, the segregation of the large hold
ings of timber land for speculative
purposes. amber from the Nation
al Forest is now purchased by the
thousand board feet, and payment is
made upon the actual scale of the
logs when cut. Two dollars and a
half per thousand feet is compare.
lively low as present charges go!
but since the cut ranges from 5000
to 10000 feet per acre, the govern.
ment receives from five to twenty
times as much for the timber as II
did under the timber and stone act
Public opinion now demands, no1
that the government should dispose
of its remaining timberlands as rap
idly as possible and leave it to pri
vate enterprise to exploit the fores'
hastily, but that what remains of thu
National forest should be more con
servatiyely used. The government
has been forced into the lumber bus
mess solely in order that a suppl,
of forest products may be guaran
teed to future generations.
Probably IS per cent of the tota
stand OF merchantable timber with
in the Forests is located on the Pa
cific coast, where for a long time tn,
enormous supply of privately owned
timber will satisfy most of the de
mand. This nor accessible privat,
timber surrounded the forests az
the meat of an apple surrounds tn,
core. 1t has been entirely eater
away in many places, while in other
it is locked up by spectators. TIL,
thing to remember, then, is that thi
immense Eody of public timber il
there as a great reserve against tn
time when private timber lands will
be depleted, and for use as a weapon
lagainst monopoly.

RICHARD MANSFIELD
IS DEAD
ONE OF AMERICAS GREATEsT
ACTORS PASSED AWAY LAST
FRIDAY.
Due to Disease of the Liver and
a Combination of Other
Maladics.

New London, Conn.,, August 81
'>ichard Mansfield, the best known
actor on the American stage, passed
away this morning at his summer
%esidencc, Seven Oaks, Ocean avenue
Death was directly due to disoasa
OF the liver, aggravated by compli-
cations.
DR.. A.. II. Allen, a local physician,
who has been in charge since Mr..
Mansfield arrived here from Saran-
&C Lake, N. Y, states that death was
not entirely unexpected, although
this fact had not ben made public.
Mr.. Mansfield's condition had
been reported as being excellent and
that he was up and around his home
here until three days ago. Then q
turn for the worse set in and Mr..
Mansfield was confined to his room.
On Thursday, DR.. Mcclellan, OF
Pittsburg, was summoned. DR.. AL
len said today, that he had feared
the worst for several days.
There were quite a number of
conditions that prevented his getting
we'll. During the great actors last
moments he was lying in a condi-
ton Of conma and did not zocoE-
nize the loved ones at his side.
There were present at the time of
his death, his wife, his brother Fee
Xix, his young son, Gibbs, and the
physician and nurses.
