The dedication of the bronze tablet

or perhaps or any other season, in this

son he cut off the escape of the fish
and then with an oar started the
work of determination. In two hours
time he had killed l ,134 fish, ranging
in weight from six to sixteen pounds,
the entire lot aggregating 10000

DIVORCE CENSUS
BEING TAKEN
OFFICIAL AT WORK ON SAUk
COUNTY RECORDS
COMES FROM CENSUS BUREAU
No Names Are Used But Many Ques-
tions are Determined

A gentleman employed by the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor and
an expert on marriage and divorce
statistics, is now in Baraboo and will
spsnd the next few weeks in the office
of j. I'll. Hill, clerk of the circuit court
where he will inspect the records of
every divorce issued in Sauk county
within the past twenty years, or since
1886. 1t will require some time to COM
plete the work.
Almost year ago the government
employees in the bureau of the census
department of marriage and divorce,
working under the Department of
Commerce and Labor, commenced
work gathering divorce statistics from
all sections of the United States from
1886 until 1907.
Every county in the United States
will be visited by employees of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
and the record of every divorce is
sued for the past twenty-one years
will be inspected.
Not all of the cases are consiC cred.
When the matter was alimony only
or when it was a case of bigamy or
when it was for like reason decree
was granted, no attention is given as
the government does not care to con-
slider them as true divorces.
In Wisconsin several men are en-
ployed and the work is quite thorough
almost complete history, except the
names, being recorded. The report is
made on large cards on which are
eighteen questions to be answered by
the government inspector.
The questions are as follows.
l. State or country in which mar
ried.
2. Date of marriage.
8. Date of separation.
4. Date of filing petition.
5. Who was libellant? Husband
Wife,
6. How was notice served? Person
ally-By Publication
7. Was case contested?
s. Was decree granted?
8. Date of decree or judgment.
10. No. of years married.
IL. Cause for which divorced.
II. If not direct, was intemperance
an indirect cause?
Is. Kind of divorce? Absolute
Limited
IA. Number Of children? By this un-
ion-Affected by decree
Is. Was alimony asked?
Is. Was alimony granted?
II. Occupation of Husband-Wife.-
IS. Residence of libellee.
The work of compiling such record
over the United States is a stupend-
Gus task and will make an interesting
report when issued by the department
of commerce and labor at Washington.

Draper, Lyman Co., S. ID.
To the Editor: AS my last letter to
the News was of an optimistic nature
regarding this country, take this op-
portunity of reiterating my future
statements. When / came to Lyman
county nearly two years ago, | came
prepared to, and did criticise it. But
with q more extended acquaintance
and a close watch of its rapid develop
ment | confess that / must plead
guilty to jumping at conclusions. 1t
was natural that one who had always
lived in the timber should think t1at
a country lacking this was no good. In
riding, few weeks since, nearly the
entire length of the county,I was more
than surprised at the progress made.
The White River Valley extension of
the G.. M. & st. P. R'y was begun
about two years ago at Chamberlain
and has been under construction ever
since. AS the track was completed to-
ward the west,ne towns were plated
and opened and naturally the country
developed as communication with the
outside world was furnished. AS [
started near the western boundary and
went east | found greater evidences of
permanency the nearer [ got to the
Missouri river. The steel is now laid
from the east, little beyond Interior,
near the Bad Lands. In the vicinity
of Okaton many new settlers have
commenced active operators, and in
all directions new houses, most of them
good, subtantial buildings though not
large, have been erected this season,
and great des of breaking has been
done. Most of this has been put into
crops. Murdo, the present division
point, is making thorough growth,
but is not doing near the business of
last season. Draper is the next town.
Less than year old it has business
houses that in size and stock carried
will compare favorably with towns
much older. A good drug store is
much needed.

Ranches No More.

A drive recently to White river,
about IA miles distant, gave me good
idea of what is being done in this vi
cinity. We passed the homes of sever
al ranchers, whose herds of cattle,
sheep and horses used to have the run
of this entire country. Most of these
have now disposed of their stock eX-
cept what can be kept on quarter
section. and are fencing and breaking
their land. One of these, however, in
formed US that he still had about 5000
acres enclosed with fence, most of it
belonging to homesteaders. A great
deal of crop is being grown in this vi
cinity, one man having 800 acres in
corn. Vivian, the next town east near
fine country, showed signs of prosperi-
ty. The next stop was at Presho,
which is destined to become town of
much Importance. For several months
this was the terminus point of the
road, and the amount of business done
here was immense. Since / left PreshO
last August many neat residences have
been erected, as well as some very sub
stantial brick business blocks. Another
artesian well has been put down for
city use. This is nearly 400 feet deep.
In talking with member of an inn
plement firm he told me that his firm
had sold over 800 breaking plows this
season. l Kennebec and Reliance, busy

WheeIinu Women's Good Work.

When the Women's Civic club of Wheeling, w Va, adopted the sugges- tion of one of it's members, Let us cease talking and do something" it be- gan to accomplish things. Among the achievements to it's credit is the placing throughout the town of 100 wire waste receptacles which have been put under the supervision of the board of public works. As the people of the town have become educated to the use of these receptacles the streets have become very much cleaner. The club has also been instrumental in having the antispitting ordinance enforced. Another result of which the civic club Is very proud occurred when it sue ceeded in having enacted and enforced a pure milk ordinance. The observa- tion of Arbor day and school garden work are other matters to which the club has given resultful attention.
