Hoped That Forest Fires Will Be Ex-
tinguished.
Washington, Sept. 2t-The forest
fires in various parts of the country
are being watched very carefully by
the government. The forestry service
has already made arrangements for a
complete report from an agent sent
to personally investigate the situation
in the Northwest and the officials of
that bureau are paying close attention
to unofficial reports as to the spread
of the fires all along the line. The
weather bureau predicts that there
probably will be a copious rainfall
about the latter part of the week in
the Mississippi valley region and that
when the rain sets in it probably will
continue for three or four days. A
slight rainfall has already occurred in
that section, but they say, not enough
to materially assist in the fight against
the fires.

Eagle River, Wis, Sept. -
Three children of Ed Weisenborn
aged eleven, thirteen and fifteen years

boat was loaded with pulp plaster and
it is presumed that while the children

Western Man The True American

Colonel George Harvey, editor
Of Harpers Weekly and dean of
the American magazine makers,
writing from Denver under date
OF July IL. pays the following high
tribute to the Westerer: "We
have been deeply impressed during
The past week by what we believe
to be vital truth. 1t is this:
Despite the constant manifestation
Of seeming vagaries. the Western
man is the true American. No
honest mind can fail to recognize
the wholesomeness of the atmos-
phere which envelopes these big,
lean, bronzed stalwart sons of Anak
None can question the full SINGER
ity of purpose indicated by the
hearty grasp of hand, the straight
forward gaze from the clear eyes;
none can contemplate without re-
gret the utter misconception Of
the spirit of this community which
preyades the east. These men Of
the west are not fanatics: they are
not even radicals at heart. For
ourselves, we say emphatically
that we have no apprehension Of
any serious disaster oyertaking the
republic SO long as these strong
hearted, pure minded men who
have been treading on our toes for
the past week continue to be as
they are. They are good men.
They are not given over to preju-
dice: they want to reason, and
lack not candor in admitting them
selves to be in the wrong when
fairly convinced. And while
they require information respect
ing their fellow countrymen their
need is far less than that of the
thousands of easterners who as
sumo the what's the use" attitude
and classify all westerners as
cranks. Again we say. the west
ern man is the true American.
He has the fine spirit whose out
puts are energy, fair play and
kindliness."

Elevator Project Dropped

For some time local parties have
been seeking to interest some
concern in this place as a pros
pective location for grain eleva-
tor. AS result Daniel Schimke
of Parkston, paid the town 4 visit
last week. He is interested in the
Jake, Foargan & Company eleva-
tor at Parkston and came out to
look over the crop situation in
this locality. He and his brother
drove over the country north of
here as far as Hardingrove, and
found the outlook very promising,
but Mr.. Schminke does not think
that acreage of small grain is yet
great enough to justify tho con-
struction of an elevator at Philip.
He assures the writer that an ele-
vator would be possible if the
management could depend upon
getting a good percentage of the
grain that will be grown in the
trade territory of Philip this year,
but he calls attention to the fact
that the condition of the country
is such that the farmers will them
selves consume large part of the
grain grown and will be able to
dispose of any surplus that they
may have to local parties, who
will need small grain for feed.
So far as Mr.. Schimke's COM
pany is concerned the project of
an elevator at Philip will be drop
ped, He thinks it likely that the
demand for means of shipping
grain will not be large enough
for several years in this locality
to bring an elevator to this town.

The Northwestern live stock

to allow cattle from along the
Cheyenne river to get to their line,
and the indications are that Wendte

follows down Lance creek and will
supply water to the herds as they
are being driven in from the north
country.
In the west end of the county
the indications are that Wokama
will be the chief stock shipping
point during the coming season.
The fact that this station is more
easily reached and offers Z scope
of territory near the yards whore
cattle may be worked, leads to the
selection of our neiQhborinQ town.

Otto WaeIti Missing

Otto Waelti who has for several
years been engaged in the jewelry
business at Fort Pierre, and was
lately interested in the same busi-
ness here, left this locality last
week and his present location is
unknown. Waelti was deeply in
vo!yed financially and unable to
make payment due on goods he
had bought. He raised what
ready cash he could and left Fort
Pierre in the Silly silence of the
night. Fort Pierre parties had
chattel mortgages and took pos
session of the stock there.
However, it is quite likely that
other creditors will take a hand in
the matter. and under the bank
ruptcy laws set all recent mort
cages and transfers aside. In any
event the assets of the business
will be sufficient to meet only q
small portion of the obligations
that Waelti had incurred. The
piano house from which Waelti
purchased his pianos, early this
week received a letter from Waelti
bearing a Canadian date line and
postmark. This indicates that the
festive Otto is now across the line
we'll within King Edwards domain,
where others have gone before.

there is, the democrats are going
