THE
COMING TOWN
FEW OF NATURAL ADVANTAGES
OVER OTHER TOWNS ON
MILWAUKEE LINE.
MILWAUKEE, RAILWAY EXTEN-
SION AS SEEN BY A DISlN-
TERESTED VISITOR.

Dickinson Recorder: First of all
the town is centrally located in the
best farming district in the south
western part of the state. The soil,
not only lies we'll for farming pur-
poses, but is exceptionally rich and
well watered by numerous springs of
the best kind of water. That this is
true is proven by the fact that there
is scarcely government section that
has not got claim shack on it owned
by thrifty, well to do people, who OF
themselves would make Scranton a
good town to do a mercantile bust
ness in.
Next we notice the 22-foot coal vein
that is owned and operated by the
Consolidated Coal Co. Of Dickinson.
which will give work to at least 300
men in the near future. The company
already has large crew of miners at
work getting out coal to supply the
growing demand for this excellent
fuel. They have a contract with the
Milwaukee road for upwards of 1000
tons, to say nothing of the orders re-
ceived daily from towns along the
line as far east and south as Mitchell
S. D. Its pay roll is no small item
and means much to the merchants oil
that thriving, bustling town where
six months ago there was not even q
claim shack.
Then again the large deposits OF
fine brick and fire clays in the state
are found within the corporate limits
of the town. Two companies, each
having ample capital to carry on the
work extensively, have been formed
and are on the ground with machinery
to transform these clays into the fin
ished product The two companies
will give work to at least $50 men in
the near future. The road has al
ready contracted with one Of the COM
panies for all the arches to be used
in their locomotives and other steam
boilers along the entire system. Not
bad order of itself.
The work of constructing a first
class Touring mill will be begun soon
and the mill will be completed in
time to take care of this years crop
The capacity of the mill is to be 800
barrels daily.
Aside from these institutions which
of themselves would support al
kinds of trade in a manner not to be
scoffed at. Scranton is situated mid
way between Saltwater on the NORTH
and Haley on the senth. both O
which have to come here for all theil
supplies by rail- Another item worthy
of note for the man looking for {
business location.
If you are looking for live town
one that will reach the 1000 mark b.
| 1910, don't fail to attend the com
pany's sale of lots on May 26. The.
will be sold cheaper on that date
than you will ever be able to buy then
again.

GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.
Iron Mountain Drainage Tunnel Hits
Desired Level to the Inch.

81 =.
A remarkable feat In mining en-
cheering was recently finished when,
after driving for two years, the station
at the 900 foot level Of the Iron Noun
tain mine was tapped by tunnel more
than mile long at the desired spot to
the inch, says dispatch from Helena.
Mont For years the property was a
regular producer and paid a million
in dividends. 1t had to be abandoned
because of the expense Of pumping wa
ter to SO great height. Then the tun-
mel was decided upon, and now the
mine is being drained by gravity.
Great fear was expressed by the
state mine inspector that the heavy
water pressure would cause. break
and drown the workmen, but this was
avoided by running zigzag crosscut
The mine is owned by Helena, New
York, Missouri and Philadelphia capt.

A Curious Rescue.

Two officers hunting wolves on the
Dry mountain, in central Servia, lost
their way in fog. After wandering
for fourteen hours one OF them lay
down in the snow and speedily became
unconscious. His comrade bound him
with cords. placed him in sitting po-
sition and then rolled him down the
mountain. He glided down the slope at
terrific speed and reached the bottom
safely, being found an hour later In an
exhausted condition by peasant. J.

WONDERFUL NEW PINK
Flower Of Great Beauty Pro-
duced by Woman Florist.
FIVE YEARS SPENT AT TASK,

Fragrant Blossom Combines All Fine
Qualities of Prosperity and Lawson,
Specimens-Beals Hybrid Possesses
Much Desired Long, Stiff Stem and
Firm, Expansive Flower.
After five years Of almost continuous
experimenting and study in the by
bridization of plants Mrs. Edward b.
Beals of Eastern avenue. Springfield.
Mass, recently succeeded in reproduce
ing pink from the Prosperity and
Lawson flowers which promises to
bring her the distinction of being the
discoverer of the finest pink in the
world
The new flower combines all the rare
qualities of both its progenitors.
Mrs. Beals. who. with her husband.
has for years been interested in the
work Of naturalization and who is fol-
lower Of the writings and work of Luz
Their Burbank. five years ago began ex.
perimenting with different species or
pfnks that had superior reputation
with the purpose Of rearing a flower
that might take place in the world OF
Horticulture as a perfect blossom.
The much discussed Lawson pink lis
known as profuse and early bloomer,
but it has always been recognized by
florists as lacking the desirable long
stem. Moreover, the calyxes Of the
blossoms are often liable to burst.
On the other hand, while the Pros
perity, one of the noted pinks Of today,
has an extra long stem, it blossoms late
In the season and lacks the stiffness of
stem which the shorter stemmed Law
son possesses.
After numerous experiments Mrs.
Beals hit upon the idea Of rearing q
hybrid flower by using the Prosperity
pink as the sire and the Lawson as the
seed particle.
For three years after she had first
begun these experiments the flowers
produced seemed to possess few mark.
ed points Of superiority over Its par.
ents, and last year the experimenter
was on the point of disseminating her
work with these two blossoms and try
ing others when one day she found
among her blooms a wonderful pink
that seemed to conform in all points to
the one which she was seeking to pro.
duce.
Carefully she watched this flower
and soon found that the stem was both
long and stiff, the blossom firm, the
calyx full and unbroken and the color
perfect in hue, while the flower had all
the expansiveness and fragrance Of the
high class parent.
Today the new pink is sensation
among all the florists in New Eng
land. 1t conforms in all respects to q
perfect pink. No other similar flower
possesses the stiffness and fragrance
which the latest Beals hybrid pos.
sesses.
The hothouses where Mr.. and Mrs
Beals have been doing their expert
menting are filed with great masses OF
this new flower, some in pure white
and some in deep and light pink and
some a delicate combination of these
colors. The hybrid also produces in
flaming crimson and lighter scarlet
and is today being sent to all parts OF
New England by the experimenter moi
only because Of the increasing market
demand for it, but because of the furore
which has made it a novelty among
florists everywhere in the east.

An indian on Art.

A member of San Francisco's art
fraternity had the good luck to visit
Washington some weeks ago and be.
hold the famous Congressional library
in all it's rare and exquisite beauty.
While he stood at the foot of the great
staircase, lost in admiration of the
noble architectural lines of the build
ing and the harmonious loveliness of
the wonderful bas-reliefs and friezes,
he observed an Indian, black haired,
piercing eyed and blanketed after the
fashion of his ancestors, enter the vast
rotunda. Walking slowly to the cen
ter of the entrance hall, he advanced
still further to the staircase, placed
one grimy hand gingerly upon the
broad balustrade, and, turning to tho
artist, who had perceived all his &C.
tions with lively curiosity, he opened
his lips and spake. Three words only
but it is doubtful If the wonderful
library will ever echo words of greater
or more unaffected appreciation. The
Indian and the artist stood face to
face, and the artists eyes fell before
the savage's question. He had asked
simply: Man make it?"-San Fran

An Australian couple who were re-
turning home by way of San Francis
co, after having come to America by
way of England, had the next section.
She had talented Leslie Carter hair
deeply, darkly, beautifully red; but,
after all, good Jesuit hair-the roots
justified the ends. She was not at all
pleased with America,-oh, dear, no!
and constantly aired her impress
sions in a strident voice, and with
strong cockney accent. She thought

much overrated--one she never cared

IN THE REPAIR DEPARTMENT.
Best Ways of Performing the inpor.
tant Work of Mending.

Rents will look much better when
mended it they are attended to at
once, because the longer they are
left the more ragged the edge be-
comes.
Lay the garment right side down
and put the edges of the rent as close
together as possible. Cut a piece of
mending tissue rather larger than the
space that is torn and lay on top.
Take a piece of thin Woolen mate
rial the same size as the tissue and
as near the color of the cloth as pos
sible, lay this on top of the tissue and
when placed in exactly the right posi-
tion iron with a hot iron until the
patch adheres to the garment.
The heat will cause the tissue to dis
solve, forming sort of glue.
If the material is of lightweight
goods it will be best to use patch of
exactly the same goods, but if the ma
terial is heavy, such as is used in
mems suits or coats, lighter patch
will be very much better.
A clean cut in heavy materials may
be mended by putting the two edges
firmly together and basting them to q
piece of paper on the right side.
Take thread and insert the needle
about three-eighths of an inch from
the edge and carry it between the
cloth to about half an inch the other
side of the cut and draw the thread
through; put the needle in where it
came out and carry it to the other
side aobut half an inch beyond the
edge in a slightly slanting position.
Continue to do this until the whole
cut is darned. Be. careflG not to pull
too tight. Darn in the same way in
the opposite direction.
1t is difficult to use this method of
mending if the edges are the least bit
frayed, and on thin materials it must
be done with the greatest care, using
the finest thread and needle possible.
All darns must be pressed when fin
ished. To do this, lay the right side
down on the ironing board and on the
wrong side lay a damp cloth and iron
until perfectly dry.

EndiMe Salad.

This vegetable, so beautiful in ap
pearance, makes an excellent addition
to winter salad. 1t is usually placed in
the center of the dish and looks re-
markably pretty with slices of beet
root, hard boiled eggs, and cur1ed eel
cry placed round it so the colors con-
trast nicely. Carefully wash and
clease it. Dry it thoroughly in cloth.
This vegetable may also be served
hot stewed in cream, brown gravy, or
butter, and when dressed thus the
sauce it is stewed in should not be
highly seasoned, as that would destroy
the favor of the vegetable. One head
is sufficient for four persons.

They should have bedrooms of their
