The Great Empire of Stanley

The funeral of Mrs. Joslin was
held at the Episcopal church here
last Sunday afternoon and the
body was inferred at the Philip

pretty little quaking-asp grove in

Stanley Philip arrived here from
Fayetteville, Ark, last Saturday
to attend the funeral of his sister,
Mrs. Joslin. He will probably
remain here with his folks until
after the mid-winter vacation.
Stanley was honored Ut the close
of the football season this fall by
being chosen as the captain of the
University of Arkansas team fol
1909. He is one of the best men
playing the game, and this was 4
fitting recognition of the good
work he has done in that team
since going there last year.

banks of Stanley county, published
last week indicate that these busi-

Bill to Divide Rapid City Land
District

Senator Gamble has introduced
bills to establish new govern
ment land office at Belle Fourche
and to open to settlement about
1,75O,OOO more acres of land in
the Pine Ridge reservations.
The bill provides that the Belle
Fourche land district shall en-
brace the southern part of Butte
county not included in the Lem
mon district, and the northern tier
of townships of Meade county.
The senator proposes to open
about 100000 acres in the Pine
Ridge reservation north of the
10th parallel, including part OF
Washington and Washabaugh
counties, and $4,000 acres in the
Rosebud reservation, being the
two eastern tiers of the townships
in Myer county, and north of the

conclusively the business activity
Of the several towns, as the older
banking institutions, other things
being equal, naturally have the
largest deposits.
From another,point of view the
deposits of the banks Of the coun-
ty indicate the prosperity that
prevails generally among our peo-
pie. The population of the coun-
ty has been conservatively esti.
mated at 10000 and the vote OF
400 at the last general election
would seem to bear out that esti.
mate. This means that the per
capita bank deposit is $40. AS.
This is approximately forty dollars
more than the national per capita
Dank deposit and twcnty-one
dollars above the state per capita
deposit. Think of it, $49.4e on
deposit in our banks for every
man, woman, and child in the
county. We are willing to put
that showing against that of any
other municipality in the world.

MARKED FISH iN THE SEA.
Thousands Of Them Caught, Number
Cd and Put Back ln British chahnoL

Catching fish. measuring and mark
ing them and then returning them to
the sea with the chance Of retailing
them later Is part Of the work carried
on by the Marine Biological Associa
ton Of Great Britain. says Discovery.
BY means Of a steam trawler the
fsh are caught In the usual way. Each
haul is carefully recorded. the fish
are counted and measured and all de-
tails Of locality, time, number, spe-
eies, sex and size are put down, to.
gether with accurate observations on
the water, the depth and bottom Of the
sea, the kinds and quality Of food
available, etc These data are subse-
quently tabulated and charted.
The method Of marking the fish is
interesting and has been attended
with valuable results. The fish chief.
" used during the few years the ex-
pertinent has been in progress have
been plaice, because the proposals
which have been made to interfere
with the catching Of them were based
on inadequate knowledge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal
surface with a very thin convex metal
disk bearing a number. This is at
tached to fine silver wire which is
passed through the thinner part Of the
fish near the fin and secured on the
under side by a small bone button.
The fish do not appear to suffer incon.
yenience and their growth is not in
terfered with in any way.
The thoroughness with which the
North sea is swept by the nets Of the
fishing fleets is demonstrated by the
fact that out Of 5,039 marked plaice
Of all sizes S92 were recaptured with
In year. This represents 1877 per
cent, or nearly one-ffth, but for the
medium-sized fish the figures are faI
higher, ranging from 28.4 to 80 per
cent for the whole of the North sea
and to 43 per cent. in the more north.
ern portions.
The men Of the regular fishing feet
cooperate by forwarding to the labor
atory Of the association at Lowestofi
all the marked fish they catch. At the
laboratory reference to the records
easily establishes how much the fish
have gained in size and weight since
the previous catching. Moreover, the
distance between the spot where II
was released and the place where Il
was again caught gives an idea as ts
!ts movements.
