was found some distances from the
place. The explosion of the powder was
strong enough to blow the man into

kota for the week ending July /, fol-
lows:
The weather averaged favorably
warm, although the mean temperature

HOME GROWN LUMBER
LIKELY TO PULL DOWN
PRICES IN DAKOTA
Saw Mill Along Missouri Makes
Dimension Stuff From
Cottonwood.

Pierre, 8. D., July 6.--What promises
10 make o difference in the price OF
dimension lumber In this market is q
little sawmill that Smith Bros. are op-
Grating near the Missouri river, about
twenty-five miles below here,
While cottonwood is not good grade
Of lumber for use where IL is exposed TO
the weather, for inside work 1t does
very well, and they are cutting a large
amount OF that class OF lumber.
They are beginning to supply the
market at Fort Pierre with cheap lum-
ber, and will spread out as their supply
increases.
The first shipment of 10000 feet was
brought up by boat last week.
Railroads Beg for Time.
The last legislature made a radical
change in the railroad assessment laws
of the state. and the companies say
that 1t is physically impossible for them
to present reports under 1t by the 18th,
as the law demands. but that they viii
get them in just as soon as possible.
All assessments by the state board
must he made by the 1st Of August,
and the roads have but little leeway.
1t is expected that the assessment on
this class OF property will take up much
more of the time of the board than IT
has in former years, and that the VAL
uation will be much higher.

INDIANS DEDICATE
A MONUMENT AT
" YANKT0N AGENCY

Yankton, S. D., July 10.--At Yankton
Agency last week a monument of much
historic interest was erected by the
Yankton Tribe Of Dakota Sioux, who
formerly lived on this town site, once
the home of Chief Struck by the Rec
and his chiefs and braves. The in
scription, which tells the story, is as
follows: f "a
ITO commemorate the treaty be-
tween the United States of America
and the Yankton Tribe of Sioux, or
Dakota Indians; concluded at Wash
ington, ID. c., April 10, 1858; Ratified by
the senate, February 16, 1859"
! Around the base runs the
line: Observation-Disclosures Dakota
Sioux. Another face reads: Tn mem
iory of the Yanlxton Chiefs who made
the treaty of 1858, Struck by the Rec,
Black Bear, Medicine Cow, White
Swan, Pretty Boy, Feather in the Ear,
Crazy Bull, Frank Deloria. A third
side contains list Of the delegates
who signed the treaty, while the fourth
reads: THE tribal councillors who kept
the peace and saw that the agreements
OF the fifty year treaty were all full
filled" Then followed another list Of
names, many Of them familiar to those
acquainted with early Dakota history
The monument, which Is the work OF
the Rapalee Marble Works OF Sioux
City, is twelve foot granite shaft and
was only completed after many months
OF pow-wows by the Indians, who were
extremely careful about the lettering
and hunted up their history with
painstaking care to insure that no mis-
takes were made. 81.

TRIP COUNTY is
CYNOSURE or HORDE
OF HOMESEEKERS
Country Greatly Interested Ia
Opening Which Will Be a
Year Hence.

Washington July 9.--Ever since con-
gress pushed the bill last February OPP
ening the Indian lands of Tripp coun-
ty, South Dakota, interest has been
growing and II is declared thousands
OF people in nearly every state are In
tently watching the movements of the
government with the expectation OF
making every effort to secure for them
selves portion OF the land when the
time comes for action.
The act provides that this tract
which embraces nearly a million acres,
unusually rich, shall be sold to settlers
on the basis of $6 per acre. The fact
that these lands are situated fairly In
the corn belt region and then that this
Is about the last valuable tract OF
government lands that will be opened
to settlers in the great northwest lends
additional interest and indicates the
probability of this being the most
largely attended opening the country
has witnessed.
Opening a Year Hence.
The date of the opening will be fixed
by the president in a special procla-
nation and while no information Is
given to the public at this time, II is
generally believed that practically the
same methods adopted In opening the
Gregory county lands three years age
will be followed. A large number OF
towns have already made application
to be named as points OF registration,
Up to this time nothing has been done
and no definite information can be OBJ
tanned relative to registration points
It seems reasonably certain, however
that the terminals of the railroads will
be In some OF the registration towns
Further than this, interested ones do
not seem able to have basis for even
an intelligent guess. Certain is Is
that deep interest Is abroad concern
ing this million-acre domain, and II
is declared at the general land office
that no such interest was ever before
manifested in an opening, and that the
fall of 1908 will witness the pilgrimage
Of thousands Of people to the open
ing. sH&.. @

Parker, s. d., July S.-Conrad and
Clark De Jong, sons of A. X. De Jong.
a stockman living a few miles west OF
Parker, jumped from freight train
running twenty-five miles an hour and

freight passing their home ran slowly
enough to permit the boys to board 1t.
They expected the train to stop at
Parker, where they counted on partici-
pating in the days celebration, but 1t
went through town without slackening
speed. The boys jumped, striking the
ground with fearful impact and rolling
over and over. Their injuries were
frightful and they are not expected by
the surgeons to survive.

A lake OF quicksilver, covering an
area of more than three acres and
having a depth ranging from ten feet

driven through the base OF the noun
tain and the quicksilver win be brought

Visitors to Japan are usually i'm
pressed with the many curious uses to
which fans are put. The umpire at
wrestling and fencing matches uses a
large fan, the various motions of which
constitute a language that the COM

Men and children. as well as women,
use fans at all times. The servant has
q fiat fan, made Of rough paper, to
blow the charcoal fires with, or use as

DIESIN NORWOOD, MASS

washington, July S.--Information mas
been received here OF the death of Cow
ernor N. @. Ordway. July 1, in New
Hampshire. For mally years he was
active and prominent In local AFFAIRS
although several years ago. 1t Is said
the infirmities OF age compelled him to
surrender TO younger hands the active
management OF his many business inJ
terests. His grandson, e. o. Whitford,
has represented him in various local in
terests here. /.
Within fortnight Governor Ordway
went to Norwood, Mass, for treatment
Of local physical ailment. which was
annoying but not dangerous. Treat
ment was there given him by a special
list. This resulted In a nervous shock,
which Is given as the cause Of death.
Governor Ordway's home life at his
pleasant country place at Waterloo.
N. H, was a happy one. Mrs. Ordwayi
still survives him, and with her there
during recent years has lived her widj
owed daughter, Mrs. Mabel o. Whit
ford. Mrs. Whitford's daughters, Ruth
and Hope. and her two sons, Richard
and Nehemiah Whitford, have also
made their home there. Mrs. Whitford
is the only surviving child OF Mr.. Ord
way--George l.. Ordway, his only son.
and Florence Ordway Wilkins having
died within the lest ten years. M
Governor Ordway was born near
Warner, N. H.. in April, 1928, not far
from his country home. Early in life
he entered politics, and before he was
20 years old wac elected sheriff of Mer1
rinack county, Concord being the coun-
ty seat. This place he filled until 1860.
when President Lincoln appointed him
inspector OF mail service. In 1852 he
was elected sergeant-at-arms OF the
house Of representatives. To this place
he was reelected five times, giving
twelve years Of service, and this at a
time when the duties Of the place were
very exciting. His influence in party
politics in his own state Of New Hampi
shire was always recognized #ll
In 1875 he was elected to the New
Hampshire constitutional convention
and later to the state senate. In 1885
President Hayes appointed him to the
position of governor OF Dakota, which
was then territory. AS governor he
served over four years, and In that
time paved the way for the territory'd

of North and South Dakota. During his
period of service as governor his ac-
tivities included the location and erec7
tion of hospitals for the insane at
Yankton and jamestown, penitentiaries
at Sioux Falls and Bismarck, universi-
ties at Vermillion and Grand Forks, the
capitol building at Bismarck and other
structures.
During his twelve years of active SER
vice as serGeant-at-arms Of the housd
he was in constant touch with local
as well as national affairs. Contem-
porary with the late Governor Shep-
herd, he took an active interest in local
matters, and in many directions their
efforts were in harmony. F
