tent erected for that purpose at the
rear Of the government building.
In the center OF the tent is a largo
platform, 40 feet square, around which
is placed q high woven wire fence,
through which the drawing can be
plainly seen by the large crowd who
are watching the proceedings.
The morning Is cold and rainy and

for the drawing, or coming from neigh
boring towns for that purpose, is not
as large as expected, bu " is esti-
mated hat about 1000 persons were
present to witness the drawing Of No. 1.
The platform in the center OF the tent
holds the contents Of the % cans, or
sheet iron drums, which were used for
holding the envelopes containing the
registration attdavits. These cans
were sealed up and only opened this
morning at 10 o'clock. The method of
the drawing is much superior to that
OF previous lane drawings and the
work under the efficient supervision of
Judge James w. Witten and his able
assistants Is progressing rapidly. The

The envelopes were placed on the

which two little girls were placed upon
the platform inside the enclosure and
instructed to hand to h judge h en-

envelopes were numbered consecutive

Dallas, s, D., Oct. 2.-Without a sin
gle serious breach OF the law for the IL
days that 1t too place, the registra-
ton for the opening OF the Trip coun-
ty lands closed promptly at 4:30 Sat-
urday afternoon.
The registration was 1f4,769. This
was larger than the registration at
Bonesteel, where there were LOG, 900
applications registered. Bert Morphy,
of Chicago, placed the last paper in the
iron can. There was some rivalry be-
tween him and Bill Brown, a cowboy,
for the last registration. Brown had
ridden in shortly before from the res
ervation, where he had been fighting
the prairie fire. There were about o.
900 persons in front of the government
building when the registration closed.
Ex-Governor Frank D.. Jackson and
Judge J., M. Written delivered addresses.
Most OF them were here for the opening
and they were informed Of the plans

 Eed picking and preserv-
 the products of hogs, the
 packing house have never
 been able to turn out ham, Fde of bacon, or a bunch of Dackbones that taste as well as those secured on the ranch or on the farm. Perhaps this is be cause the country prepared meat is eaten with a country air whetted appetite.
 The first freeze of the fall is always welcome event to every one who lives on a well regulated farm, for on every well regulat- ed farm there is always to be found herd of hogs saved for the annual killing.
 To boy there is nothing that so appeals to his imagination as hog killing time. He is up at the first break of day for fear that he will miss seeing some thing. He even washes his face without being told twice to do so He brings in the wood for his mother and he turns the grind stone for his 'pa' without even so much as grumbling single grumble.
 And then the squealing, grunt- ing, hogs are driven up to be dispatched. He watches every move made and he times the last sound from the struck stuck or shot porker to a nicety. Hard by is the great cracking fire beneath the huge iron wash kettles. As soon as the future pork. IS IS dead hog, the carcass is plunged into the boiling water after being doused, soused and soaked for a few minutes is suspended from the limb of a tree.
 Then it is a moment of great gladness to the boy if he is per mitted to scrape away the bris- ties with the big knives he has turned the grindstone to sharpen When dinner time comes that boy has an appetite that is real and earnest and-Well, just ask any boy who was raised on a farm the best meal he ever ate and the chances are 10 to 1 his mind will revert to some hog killing day.
 We may learn lesson from hog killing. Nature fixes it so that hogs may be killed in the country during cold weather and the man who lives in the country and kills his own hogs saves money. Science has pointed the way whereby hogs may be killed in packing house every day in the year. And right here it may be declared that the man who lives in the country who has hogs to ship to packing houses every day in the year is the man who has money in the bank and who can be of the greatest assistance to any community desiring a new church or new school house.
