Who firmly stood at post OF duty,

Who stood upon the picket post,

Where shot ilcw thick Il drops of rain,

The G. A. R. Encampment.

A meeting of the joint committees
to make arrangements for the state en-
campment of the G. A. r. to be held
in Hot Springs on June %, "a, 70, was
held in Odd Fellows Hall at p. M
Saturday the l4th, the members of the
three committee being as follows:
For Silas A. Strickland Post G.. A. R.,
d. B. Murray, F. A. Fassett, w. H.
Ferris, H. g. Allen, Preston Sharp,
F. M. Moore, John Gard; for the w.
r. c., Mrs. Julia Sharp, Mrs. Nettie

Munger, Mrs. Mary Reed; for the city
council, A. w. Riordan, L. e. Highley.
Fred Hummel, w. P Phillips, s. G..

The committee being called to order
Col. A. s. Stewart was nominated and
elected chairman and Mrs. Munger as
vice chairman, D. B. Murray as secre-
tary, and A. w. Riordan as treasurer.
1t was decided that two sub COM
mittees of five each should be selected
from the State Home and the Sanitar
ium.
After an important talk, the COM
mittee adjourned to meet at the same
place at p. M Saturday the 2lst.
AS much business will be ready at
the next meeting of this committee it
is hoped that every member will be
present. All the preliminary work
necessary to make the encsmpment a
grand success is now before us, and as
this encampment means so much for
this town every Hot Springer should
be interested in making it success.

Spelling at Minnekahta.

There was good attendance at the
spelling exercises in the Minnekahta
school house Friday evening, March
18th.
Those present from Hot Springs
were, Harry Crane, Joe Mates, John
Mueller and Paul Denny.
George Miller and Martin Orr chose
sides for the first event, in which the
leader chose from the opposite side
when one Of his force spelled word
missed oy his oppon ents. After spell
ing about three hundred words and
neither side having won recess was
taken.
After recess, sides were chosen again
and spelling began with the understand.
ing that those who missed were to be
seated. After all the words on the list
had been spelled there wern four
persons left on the foor-Harry Crane
and Joe Mates on one side, and Miss
Goudy and Mr.. Robertson on the other
side. Then words we're pronounced

ing to science and philosophy; this
was where the town fellows had an
advantage over the natives, country
folks study nature. Undoubtedly those
town boys have studied scientific
words. Their greatest trouble was
spelling each other down. Joe Mates
spelled the last word which was
philosophy"
Miss Beatah Huebner pronounced
words during the entire spelling.
1t was decided to study the hard
list of words, used for the first contest,
and spell again in the Minnekahta
school house Friday evening, April 10.
Town boys will still be welcome.
After the exercises were over the
ladies served cake and coffee which
was much appreciated, especially by
those who came from distance.

the bacteria OF life in the soil, so es-
sential to plant life OF food for the
tree? In ono instance, farmer built
9 dam in draw, making q small lake
on good slope just above his orch ard.
Shortly after the reservoir was filed
with water the nearest trees began to
die, and the destruction extended to
the farthest limit Of the orchard from
the pond before the farmer discovered
what was the matter with the
trees.
Chris Thompson, at Rapid City, with
q hundred acre orchard in secluded
valley without irrigation, we'll illus
trates what may be accomplished in q
semi.arid region by apractical applica-
tion Of the Campbell method of soil
culture. Mr.. Thompson has always
followed system of shallow cultiva-
tion having his own special machinery
for this purpose. In this orchard Of
thirteen thousand trees, there is little
indication of sunscald, blight or other
disease and the trees are nearly always
annual bearers. A noticeable feature
here is that the outside trees around
the orchard, having winds and driving
storms, show dwarfishness or crippl-
ed condition as if they were put in the
vanguard to break the fierce charges
of the elements. Would it not be
better to use cottonwood or ash for
these windbreaks?
At Hot Springs, George, M. Trimmer
and Charles Stewart have ver-s thrifty
orchards. Some of the rows u trees
look as il each had been made in a
mould. During the irregating season
these gentlemen irrigate every thirty
days. Their land is sandy or gravelly
loan from which all surplus water will
quickly drain, so that the soil does not
become waterloggcd; hence fruit-grow-
ing here is very profitable. Cherries
also do remarkably we'll, while in the
northern "Hills" they have not yet
been made profitable crop. It lis
barely possible that the warm spring
water flowing through the valley SO
regulates the temperature that sudden
changes, so damaging to cherry trees,
do not occur here as they do in the
northern Hills.

ST. PATR1cK's DAY OBSERVED.
Catholic Bazaar, Supper, Dance and
Concert Delights All.

When the Catholic ladies plan an
event they leave nothing undone to
make it a success. This was we'll
shown by the way they celebrated st.
Patrick's day and its successor with
their bazaar, supper, dance and con.
cert at the Evans Hotel Tuesday and
Wednesday nights.
All sorts of fancy and useful articles
were for sale, while the candy was sold
from special booth presided over by
Miss Keenan, and Miss Marcoux. This
booth was beautifully decorated with
Shamrock, its title being spelled out in
the dainty little bits of green. Mr..
Cavanagh's beautiful rug helped out
the hall decorations materially.
The supper was delicious and relish
ed by large number who helped swell
the attendance at the dance, music for
which was furnished by Magee's
orchestra.
Many articles we're auctioned and
raffied off between dances. The gold
headed umbrella was won by Father
Judnic, the gold beads, donated by
Bishop Stahira, were won by Mrs.
Standen, of Edgemont; Mrs. Riordan
drew a fine cut glass dish while
Laurence Hedrick's luck brought him
box of smokers. Little Miss Marie
Gibson was made happy by the big
Teddy Bear coming to her, and Walde-
mer Moore will now take life easy as
be drew the mahogany rocking chair.
The concert Wednesday night was
fine, the chorus doing excellent work
but a cold prevented Mrs. Hedrick,
their leader, from assisting, which was
a source of bitter disappointment to
all. Rev. Eaton delighted all with his
rendition of several solos:
The ladies desire to thank all who in
any way contributed to make the affair
such great success, both financially
and socially. The treasurer reports
that the net receipts will be we'll over
$500.

Money in Alfalfa.

That Alfalfa hay from Rapid valley
can be sold at profit in Chicago or
cities in that territory was shown this
week when two car loads which we're
shipped by Levi Reber, from Caputa,
were sold in Chicago for sl450 ton.
This was made possible by the Mil.
waukee in putting in effect low rate
on hay in carload lots to Chicago. The
original rate was about s9. $50 a ton but
that was reduced to s5.6Oa ton in order
to give the Rapid valley farmers q
chance to enter the eastern markets
and at the same time develop the trade
for the benefit of the railroad.
Alfalfa nay, baled, is worth about
$500 ton delivered and adding to
that the freight of $3.50 to Chicago it
really made the hay worth to Mr..
Reber 1880 laid down in Chicago.
Thus it is seen that Mr.. Rever made a
gain of 80 cents per ton by shipping to
Chicago. One car contained "a tons
and the other 20 tons. so that Mr..
Raber gained $3.50 over what the hay
would have brought in the local mark
The establishing of market for the
alfalfa hay from this territory in Chi
caoo would mean much to this vicinity
for there are thousands of acres that
can profltably be put to that crop. 1t
ia aaid that in the near future more
heled alfalfa will be sent east. Rapid

Stirring up Academy Matters.

The Financial Agent of Dakota
Wesleyan University the Sup't. of the
Black Hills Mission and the committee
appointed by the Black Hills Mission
conference to have charge of matters
pertaining to the location of an acad
emy here. are planning two very import
ant meetings for Hot Springs for the
near future.
The first of these meetings is to be
held in the city hall Friday evening,
March Goth, at 7:30 o'clock and is to be
a meeting of all those who have sub
scribed to the fund or who are inter-
ested in its being raised and are will
ing to help in this matter. 1t is hoped
that no friend of Hot Springs, its busi-
ness interests or future prosperity will
be absent from this meeting which is
preliminary to the meeting to be held
Sunday afternoon in the city hall at
2:3O o'clock.
Several persons will speak at each of
these meetings and the whole situation
will be gone over and explained so that
the people of Fall River county may
all know the needs and the work and
money necessary to establish this
school in Hot Springs.
The committee in charge of the
matter calculates that every farmer
and rancher in Fall River county
should help in this great enterprise
and it is confidentislly hoped that the
amount needed for the purchase of the
property, namely s12,Oo0.OO may be
raised in Fall River county, and in
order to do this all the county will
need to help, and to do this end, a
thorough canvass of the county is now
being made by Mr.. Hunt and Mr..
Dolliver 1t is believed that the open
ing of this school in Hot Springs will
add more to the value of the Farms and
ranches throughout the county by far
than we are asking them to give and
seeing that this part of the state is
without any school of either state or
church it is believed that the property
owners Of the county will not allow
this project to fail for want of their
financial and moral support.
Let not q single person who ap.
preciates the advantages of such
school TO the young people of the
western part of the state, TO- their own
community, and to themselves person
ally, be absent from these meetings.
Rev's. Dolliver and Hunt will be
present and speak. Ministers of the
town will take part, and besides them
the speakers will be, Hon. Eben W..
Martin, of Deadwood, E. r. Juckett,
and s. E. Wilson. DR.. Hargens vii

A PREMIUn

The ruling of the Postofice Depart
ment requiring newspapers to con-
duct their subscription accounts
upon practically a cash basis forces
the STAR as well as all newspapers
to comply. We desire to get the
delinquents to pay up quickly and
as an inducement have made ar
rangements whereby we can offer
the Northwestern Agri, lturalist as
premium---free to al Who pay in
advance for the Star for a year.
This will be only for a limited num-
Der and a limited time. It must be
done at once. You get the finest
agricultural paper published twice
month at Minneapolis for nothing.
Subscribers are required by the post
al laws to be cut off of the list.:any-
way if they become delinquent for ia
year. and now why not acquire the
cash in advance habit and get this
benefit We will apply this to all
cash in advance subscriptions since
Jan l. 1908, but subscribers can not
get this benefit together with other
reduced publcations--sfor they all
cost us extra money.

STRUCK A GusHER.
b. & M. Well Drillers at Edgemont
Strike Big Flow of Hot Water.

0tk1hC OA8 GAVW Va 4AVV NSsesSAs
Monday morning about 3 O'Clock the
B. &M we'll drillers at Edgemont ap-
parently tapped subterranean stream
ut depth of 1869 feet, from which the
water is gushing at the rate OF 300
gallons minute, with temperature
of 125 degrees.
About three years ago the B. & NJ
people started fifteen inch drill
after water but as the depth increased,
the bore was lessened till at the above
depth the we'll is only three and one
half inches in diameter. Several
strikes of water have been made till
a week ago last Wednesday at a depth
of 29O7 feet flow of over 200 gallons
minute, at temperature of lob de-
grees, was struck. Work was contin-
ued until Monday morning when the
drill suddenly dropped three feet,
using up all the slack, pulling down
the smoke stack on the engine house
and giving the workbench a sudden
fright. An examination showed
gusher of 100 degrees which has in
creased in flow and heat to the above
mentioned figures. The fifteen inch
pipe has been capped with plug
having a six inch opening abeut three
feet above the ground out OF which
the water spouts about foot high.
The pressure is so great that four
heavy men on solid plank can not
stop it.
This we'll will be the means of giving
Edgemont supply of water for
domestic and other purposes should
it prove to be what those who have
tested it declare it to be, and will fur
nish something that has been badly
needed by that community ever since
a town has been located there, besides
supply the railroad, which has been
badly handicapped for want of water.
1t means the making of a splendid
little city of our neighbor, upon
which we heartily congratulate them.

1t will be new, or perhaps forgot.
ten fact, to many Journal readers that
no member of the board of the Rapid
City Independent school district will
be elected at the spring city election.
According to new law enacted at the
last legislature members of the school
board will hold over until the third
Tuesday in June, when board of five
members at large will be elected.
This is radical change. It is also the
duty of the school board to appoint q

TO DEVOTE HIS LIFE TO
STUDY OF TUBERCULOSIS

Chicago, June 6.--Although the
scores of physicians who addressed the
American Medical association upon the
subject of tuberculosis during the last
week limited their predictions to the
checking of the white plague through
hygienic methods confident young
English man, DR.. Gerlad b. Webb. told
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention OF Tuberculosis yes
terday that he hoped to establish a
method for securing immunity from the
disease.
DIR, Webb Is still young man and in
his home in Colorado Springs, where
he went because of his own dread of
lung trouble, he intends to make his
life work the isolation of the tubercul-
osis germ for the purpose of expert
menting along lines aiming toward the
establishment of immunity.
His report to the association was
brief preliminary statement of his ex-
periments upon mice with the poison of
malignant anthrax deadly disease
frequent among brutes and occasional
ly found in man. He stated that while
his early efforts to prepare his diminu- :.
tive subjects so that an additional
amount OF the bacilli would not effect
them had not been fruitful, more late
ly he had succeeded in filing the mice
with enough of the germs so that they
were immune from attacks of the dis
ease.
When he has completed his work in
this line he said he intends to turn his
undivided attention to experiments
with tuberculosis cultures Injected in
to guinea pigs.
