would otherwise have felt the bitter
pangs of poverty. Children have
been educated and fitted to battle
with the world. 1t has been a great
work performed, and the loss of that
institution in any state is a severe
blow to society.
Mrs. H. FL. Plowman entertained
a company of lady friends Thursday
afternoon. At six o'clock the hostess
served dainty refreshments. 1t was
a pleasant affair for all present.
E. j. Nettum, G. FL. Johnson,

Times.
To our farmer friends it will be
of interest to know that on April LIST,
1907, the visible supply of wheat was
AZ, POS, 900 bushels. Not since April
LIST, 1901, has the visible supply been
SO great at this time of the year. And
only eight months since January LIST,
1901, has the visible supply exceeded
that of April, l907-only eight
months out of the rs from January
lst, 1907. Added to this is the fact
that the government report estimates
the growing wheat crop, April LIST, at
S6.9 per cent, which is practically the
same as last year.

Lake Preston is another town
that continues on the water wagon
and has taken a little frmer hold.
The majority against license Tuesday
was Al votes, quite a gain over a year
ago.
The Second ward went 'dry" and
now it is reasonable to look for Texas
to go republican. With the Second
ward on the water wagon there is
mighty little hope for sociological in
situations in De Smet for a number of
years to come.
Miss Mary Bowes, having con
cluded a successful years school in

Friends of the A. o. u. w. order
will regret to learn that the Ohio
branch of that institution is to be
abandoned. Suit was brought for
the purpose of preventing the order
from doing business and for the APP
pointment of a receiver. 1t is stated
that the death claims unpaid amount
to $4,000 and the funds amount to
only $1,000. We presume this will
have no effect upon other Jurisdictions,
except perhaps to retard their growth.
The work accomplished by the A. 0.

known, but thousands of widows and

the chief amusement of the evening.
j. w. Sturgeon departed Tues
day for Dickinson, n. D., where he
has secured a position with a gentle
man doing a large real estate business,
The position carries a good salary
with it, and prospects of an advance
if he makes good, which he will do
without doubt. Mrs. Sturgeon and
the baby will remain in De Smet for
a few weeks until j. w. can secure a
residence and get the household goods
to that place. De Smet people will
be sorry to learn of this move, although
they will be glad to know that it
means an advancement for the Stur-
geon family.
&C. H. Clay, who owns and lives
on the old G. D.. Anderson farm two
miles southeast of Bancroft, was in
the city Tuesday. Mr.. Clay says that
within sight from his home are five
sets of new farm building now in pro-
cess of construction and that each set
of buildings means the opening of a
new farm. Mr.. Clay has spent two
seasons IN this county. He likes the
country and likes the farm he pur-
chased. He is one of those farmers
who make it a business and look after
details the same as a banker or mer-
chant looks after the details of their
line of business.
1t is reported from Arlington that
depot grounds have been secured for

grading is now in progress and will
saon be in full blast from both ends

is being plated about nine miles
southeast of Arlington and another
ten miles northwest. There will be
three towns between that place and

New Passenger Tariff Rates.

When the railroad commission
was in Chicago the other day, in con-
ference at the head ofiics of rail
ways operating in this state the in
formation was volunteered by the
Milwaukee officials that the clerical
forces of that roads offices are en-
gagged in the preparation of a new
interstate tariff showing the passen-
ger fares between all points between
all points on the Milwaukee sytem,
based on local rates il effect in the
different states traversed by the
road.
According to the commissions in
formants, this work will not be COM
| pletcd for several weeks, or possibly
two or thre months. 1t will take
much time and are in the computa-
| ton of the thousands Of rates and
in their correct transcription and re-
cord. The railway offices complain
that they are short of clerical assis-
lance at present, and that it is other
wise a physical impossibility to
complete this work within less thar
a couple of months.
The officials Of the Omaha and
Northwestern railway We're also con-
suited in this matter, and their re-
plies were practically the same as
those offered by the milwaukee,
railway, though not quite so en-
phatic in regard to the size OF the
undertaking and the amount OF time
required.
This question is II of much in
terest to the public. Heretofore, O
rather until not long ago, purchaser

+ called upon for the old through rate

local tickets from state line to stat

South Dakota Authors Represented.

The State Historical society is ar
ranging for a South Dakota section
in the library Of that society. They
will divide it into three divisions,
one to represent the work Of the
.Dakotans and Dakota; another torep-
resent the work of men who have
at different times been identified
with South Dakota, and whose Work
has been carried on partly in the
state and partly from other loca-
tons and a third division of the
| works bearing upon South Dakota,
| where the authors have not been in
any way connected with the state
personally. The intent is to build
up a greater South Dakota reference
library as a part of the record OF
the society.

About Scotty Phillip.

Pierre, S. D. "Scotty' Phillip.
The name is magic in South Dakota.
In western South Dakota for a quar-
ter of a century or more Phillip mas
been the uncrowned king. In me-
diaval days he would haye been a
baron, or perhaps a real king, ana
from him would have decended a
line Of posterity that might have
possibly included the present KING
of Great Britain.
In the records Of some church III
Scotland, fifty odd years ago,wlll De
found and entry Of the birth or a
child, who was christened James
Phillip" Today in South Dakota, not
MANY people knew that flames anu
not "Scotty" is the legal name OF a
man who is known all I'VE the west,
and who has always stood for the
square deal, in the ways OF rough
handed justice.
"Scotty Philip came to this coun-
try from Scotland when a youth.
He married a Sioux Indian woma
who has been his faithful wife these
MANY wears. He has reared a family
of bright and talented children, who
have beer educated in some OF inc
country's best colleges.
"Twenty-five years ago Scotty was
known as one of the few cattle king!
of western South Dakota, then an II
dian reservation. He had thousand:
of cattle roaming the plains west O
the Missouri. He had a legion O
COWBOYS with whom he had a sort o
system of bookkeeping and law, un
written in any ledger or code, b.
which their accounts and action
we're controlled. Scotty had a mos
remarkable memory. He might hav'
as many as fifty men working 10
him on the ranges all the way 1ror
the Nebraska line up into Nortl
Dakota. some Of whom he Wouldn
meet from the branding roundup l
May until the beef roundup III SCI
tember, but he knew exactly no
much he owed each one, and TN
without any book account TO suld
him., His mind record was neVe
disputed in a single instance. IL
might go to Texas, Arizona, or Ne
Mexico and buy several ~tralnloac
of cattle and ship to the DaAot
ranges to fatten, but the who.
transaction was kept in his memor,
even to the price and brand OF evel
.'dogie' in the bunch.
Seven years ago Phillip bought a
of the Fred Dupree herd OF Bllifal
hey numbered about 100 head, al
had RIM wild on the Cheyenne riv'
ranges from the days when the
snecies covered the prairie OF Sou
Dakota and other western states.
