Hills Town Destroyed

Belle Fourche, S. D., May IA
cowboy arrived in town Saturday af-
ter an all nights ride and announced
that Camp Crook, a prosperous town
forty miles northwest. had been al
most completely destroyed by fire
which started late Friday afternoon.
Every business building except the
Little Missouri bank, was burned,
and only a few dwelling houses re-
main. The loss will exceed $500, 900.
Among the principal buildings de-
stroyed were r. l.. Shunning's de-
partment store and warehouse, at a
loss of $50, 900, and Devine's store and
warehouse, loss about $50, 900.

S. Oak. 'Inventress"

Mrs j. H. Kyle, wife of the late
Senator KiIe. and son. James. re-
turned last evening from a five
weeks business trip east.
Mrs Kvle's chief business east was
to secure patent papers on a device
which she had invented by which a
room may be heated with gas or
electricity, burning in a small copper
bulb. The papers have been issued
and Mrs Kyle has been figuring with
manufacturers. She has not yet
placed her contract and may have
the device manufactured in Aber-
deem.
The heating device is simplicity it.
self and it is claimed for it that it
does wonders in the way of heating,
being at the same time decidedly
ornamental. The heater itself is of
peeled copper bulb of different sizes,
but none of them large. With the
arrangement inside of the bulb it is
claimed that the heat which it will
throw out is terrific. The affair will
be arranged in the shape of a hang
er from a chandelier, or like table
lamp, newell post or as cooker; in
fact it will be made in various styles.
So far the grandest success is the
gas burner, for it can be made more
cheaply than the other. The electric
heater. because of more complicated
interior arrangements, is more ex-
pensive, and Mrs Kyle is now at
work trying to cheaper the cost of
production. 1t is claimed that
Thomas A. Edison is at work on ex-
actly the same thing Aberdeen

WAGE STATISTICS
BOOST THE WEST
0reeley's Advice. Go West
Young Man. Endorsed
by Recent Report

Washington, May S.-When Har-
ace Greely said Go west, young
man." he probably did not have at
his disposal the statistics to prove
the soundness of his advice. The
frontier west has disappeared, and a
new west has been born. neverthe-
less it would appear that it holds out
greater inducements to the wage
Garner of today than any other Sec
ton of the United States.
The western man or woman who
is employed in manufacturing es-
tablishment receives much greater
compensation than his fellow work
men elsewhere, according to state
ment issued today by the census
bureau. The average per week
throughout the west is S13.65 as
againts $10.62 in the north central
states; $l0.1l in the north Atlantic;
1888 in the south central, and S7.31
in the south Atlantic.
In all statistics which the bureau
has compiled including l53, 703 estab-
lishments and 1927, ,8l9 wageearners
it is shown that women earn far less
than men. As evidence of the ex-
tent to which women earn their own
livelihood, OFT of three million odd
employees, 588, $50, or 17.9 per cent,
were of the gentler sex. However,
women drew only II per cent of the
total wage list or S3,633, ,48l, as
against $29, ,24O,2S7 earned by the
men.
Statistics of child labor are start
ling. Out of the total of employees,
80, l67, or 2.7 per cent were children
receiving S3l2,O ,O23 per week. Thus
the average child worker received
only $3.46 a week, as contrasted
with the mans average earnings of
$11.16 and the woman's of $6.17.

FREAK WELL
NEAR MITCHELL
Spouts Compressed Air With
Strong Whistling Sound

Mitchell, May 1.-THE champion
freak artesian well in this part of
the state is situated on ten acre
tract of land owned by +. E. Han
son, mile or two from Mitchell.
After drilling for several days the
drillars noticed strong greasy odor
emitting from the well. After the
drill had reached depth of about
eighty feet the freakish proclivities
of the we'll became more noticeable.
When the drill reached this depth
strong whistling sound came from
the piping of the well, and this has
increased in volume every hour
since that time. The drillers have
since gone about twenty feet deeper
but the whistling continues to in
crease in volume. A pump was tenn
porarily placed in the well. and when
the water was pumped out there
was considerable sand in it.
When this was first noticed. the
well, which is four inches in diam
eter, was left to itself overnight in
the belief that it would clear itself.
The pump finally was withdrawn
from the piping and the drill was
lowered in the casing. when the dis
covery was made that the wind or
gas in the freak well had filled the
pipe for distance of about fifty
feet with sand.
The water now has been nearly all
shut off, a little being permitted to
escape through small copper cap.
An inch elbow about two feet long
has been extended from the pipe,
and when the cap on this is removed
the gas or wind escapes from the
well with such force that it can be
heard for distance of three hund-
red feet or more from the well.
This occurance is said to be some
what similar to what is encountered
in the oil and gas fields of Pennsyl-
vania and Texas lust before a good
flow of oil or gas is struck. and this
leads the owner of the freak well
and others who have visited the we'll
to believe that an oil or gas field of
unknown extent underlies this i'm
mediate portion of the state.
