DEEPEST WELL
In NORTHWEST
Great Interest Manifested by Geo
IogistS in the Work at
EdgemOnt

Hot Springs, S. D.-The artesian
we'll which is being dug at Edge
mont, S. D., has reached depth of
2,470 feet, and great interest is
being taken in the well by the Unit
ed States geological surveyors who
are being continually surprised by
the difficulties encountered in the
process. Fourteen different forma-
tions of rock have already been en-
countered without any suggestion
of the South Dakota sand stone stra-
tum.
1t is expected this formation would
be reached at the 1900 mark, but it
is the determination of the B. & M.
authorities to continue the digging
until water is reached although the
well company's contract limit is 1920
feet. The Edgemont well is now the
second deepest west of the Mississip-
pi, the deepest being in Boone, Ia,
where the we'll drillers had to bore
to depth of 3100 feet before strik-
ing body of water of any import
tance. The deepest well in the Unit
ed States is the one at Galveston,
Tex, where at a depth of 1890 feet
body of water sufficient to supply
the entire town was encountered.
The drillers who have been at
work on we'll at Gillette, Wyo.,
have been obliged to abandon work
on account of loss of piping and
drills

"YELLOW" WORK
IN SIOUX FALLS,
Sensational Newspaper Work
Brings Libel Suits
Work

Joseph Kirby, notorious lawyer
of Sioux Falls, is going in to the
criminal libel business on the whole
sale. He has had arrested j. A.
Ross, editor of the Sioux Critic, for
criticisms made in the Kaufman
murder case. The paper was then
got out by the editors wife, giving
a brief history of Kirky's past life.
The lawyer also had Mrs Ross arrest
ed for criminal libel.
His latest arrest is w. T. Lafollett
editor Of the Mitchell Gazette, a
former railroad commissioner and
populist leader, who criticised Kirby.
Attorney Joe Kirby is a nervy law
yer of Sioux Falls, who was once
charged with aiding postoffice rob-
berries, because two big punches of
stamps were found in his safe.
These robberies occurred some ten
or twelve years ago, at the Miller
and Highmore postoffices, and if
memorys is correct, also at Gettys-
burg. The robbers were sent to the
pen. The stamps were found in
Kirky's possession by Inspector Foss-
ness, which resulted in two or three
trials. After long contest the at
torney won out. He had been dis
barred from practices, but was rein
stated. Kirby is Irish and likes a
fight. If he checks some of the
yellow newspaper work in Sioux
Falls, the citizens thereof will prob
ably thank him for it.

Armour-Corn stalk disease is

And to that host how appalling the

We hope and pray that each thir-

Our nations sacred memorial day
Will never forget the story to tell

And the men that for four years
treason did stay
How blue and gray honor the dead

The grandest achievement men can

That wear the bronze in lapel
Is of our nation grand and great
The pride of the people of every
state.
And may the God of battles
Ever give the victory to the cause of

And now as the bronze button grows

We hope what it stands for will our

is teeming, and his knowledge Of the
origins of the Christian faith would
be shamefully superficial Such a
course as that planned by Chicago
Theological seminary does scant honor
to the revelation which God has made
through His SON Jesus Christ, and
draws the Christian ministry away
from the sources of eternal life, to
interests which can be grasped only
in the light of those sources. What
respect can be kept for the Christian
ministry, when they are found ignor-
ant of those things which the world
most desires to know, and by which
it may lead the only life worth living?

ASSESSED VALUATIONS.

That persistent and determined ef-
fort will win success is demonstrated
in the fight of Geo. E. Wallace of
Wahpeton for increased assessed valu-
ations in this state. Mr.. Wallace was
secretary Of theWahpeton Commercial
club and year or more ago started
a movement to have the assessed valu-
alton Of North Dakota property in
creased to something more nearly like
the real value of the property. He
wrote several hundred letters, secured
the cooperation and endorsement OF
the different commercial bodies of the
state, and at the recent meeting of
the states attorneys and county au-
ditors strong resolutions were adopted
endorsing his pet plan. The fight is
not won yet, but it will be continued
before the state board of equalization
and as result of the agitation senti-
ment has crystalized in favor Of the
plan.
Mr.. Wallace does not claim any
originality in this work. The idea has
been discussed in a haphazard man
ner for years, but as it was every
body's business, no individual ever
took the matter up and made a per-
sonal effort to carry it through Mr.
Wallace had the courage of his con-
victions and is entitled to a great
deal of credit for the success at
tanned.
The chief advantage of the increased
assessed valuation is the credit and
advertisement that will result to the
state. If the present values are
doubled by the assessors it will give
the world the impression that North
Dakota is wealthy and prosperous
part of the northwest. With a doubled
valuation the tax levy will be cut in
two and, in addition to getting credit
for small proportion of the wealth
possessed in the state, North Dakota
will also be widely advertised for its
low rate of taxation. The advantages
Of the plan are two-foId, The prop
erty owners win pay no more taxes.
II is merely question of policy
Another result win be the benefit
to cities where improvements are inn
perative for sanitary or other reasons.
Many towns are unable to put in
sewer and water systems because Of
the law which limits the bonded in
debtedness to such a small percentage
Of the total assessed valuation that
2 sufficient sum cannot be raised BY
bonding to pay for the work. The
growth and development Of the towns
are retarded The objection OF those
who fear that some towns would run

WHERE eYP WENT.
Jcurneyed 124 Miles in Week to See
Her Puppies.

Gyp, an 18-months-old fox terrier,
belonging to Harry C. Fisher of No
$50 East Seventh street, south, has
distinguished herself again, writes a
Salt Lake City correspondent to the
Boston Evening Globe.
While on a visit at Western Idaho,
with her master during the last sum-
mer Gyp first attracted attention.
Mr.. Fisher stayed at a ranch owned
by August Jenson. One day by bark
ing and yelping and jumping in
front of her master she aroused his
curiosity. This done she led him to
a litter of little blinking puppies.
Gyp's family dwindled down to two
before many weeks had passed.
When Mr. Fisher was ready to come
home Gyp had been with her little
charges six weeks.
The time had now come to say
good-by. Gyp was brought to Salt
Lake and her puppies were kept at the
Jensen ranch
About four weeks ago Mr. Fisher
missed Gyp Believing she had gone
but a short distance, he did not be-
come worried until she had been
away from home a whole day. The
Fisher family grieved over the loss,
thinking Gyp had been stolen or
killed ltSls
happy thought struck Mr.. Fisher
two weeks ago. He dropped a post
card to August Jenson, Weston, Ida
no, and few days later an answer
was received.
. The message brought the startling
infornla tion that Gyp had reached
the Jensen ranch ten days before.
Her arrival was the occasion OF
great rejoicing in the kennel" read
the note. "The two puppies and Gyp
barked and rolled each other around
in great shape
Gyp covered the 124 miles In six
or seven days to see her two babies.
