SKY -scRAPER
NEARING COMPLETION

Like Aladdin's palace, Dickinson 8
tallest sky-scraper. the -four mill of the
Missouri Valley Milling Co., has grown
almost in a night and its six stories of
towering height have risen into the air
by leaps and bounds. 1t was only a
couple of months or so ago that the
men were still working on the massive
foundations and now the outside work is
practically done.
1t is well worth a trip out to the
western part of the city where the mill
is located to see what has been accom-
plished in so short time. The central
part is six stories high while on either
side are two wings each two stories
high. the west one joining with the huge
elevator which was completed some
time ago. The building is made as
fire proof as possible and the different
parts are separated from each other by
thick walls of brick and fire proof
cement flooring is largely used. @
While much remains to be done on
the interior of the mill, it is sufficiently
completed so that one may climb to the
top story and get a magnificent view of
the city, making it popular point for

a mortar mixer run by a gasoline en-
gine. The bricks and mortar are con-
veyed to the different floors by elevators
on the cable plan. one going down as
the other goes up. This is run by a
dummy engine. About $50, 600 of the
brick for the mill was furnished by the
Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick Co.
whose plant is just east and the rest by
the Missouri Slope Brick & Tile Co.

INSTRUCT
ENTRYMEn
Government Issues Directions for
Procedure In Getting Patent on
Lands Classified as Valuable
For Coal Deposits.

Final instructions for procedure in the
cases where lands have been declared
chiefly valuable for the coal deposits
therein have been received at the land
Office as approved by secretary of the
Interior Ballinger.
Upon due notice from the register and
receiver. each claimant having claim
which has been classified as having
valuable coal deposits will be allowed
so days within which to file in the local
land Office his election to take patent
for the land. exclusive of the coal de-
posits, or to file denial that the land
contains coal of workable value and
request hearing to determine that
question.
Where the claimant elects to take a
patent containing the reservation of the
coal deposits for the use Of the govern
ment, the owner under the patent may
mine coal from the land, for his use
only, up to and including the time of
disposal of the coal by the United States
to some other party.
If the claimant takes no action with
in the period prescribed by the notice.
such failure will be construed as an
election to receive patent containing
the reservation to the United States and
such entry will be treated accordingly.
Where the claimants file denials of
the coal character of the land together
with statements under oath as a basis
for the hearing, the papers will be for
warded to the general land Office for con-
sideration with view to reclassification
and if upon such consideration, the
land is classified as non-coal. the case
will be passed to patent if otherwise
regular. If the reclassifcation is that
the land is valuable for coal, a hearing
will be ordered when the United States
will have to prove that the land is
chiefly valuable for the coal deposits
therein. if the classifications are sub
sequent to the date of entry. If the
entries have been made subsequent to
the classification. the entrymen must
show that the lands do not contain val
liable deposits of coal.
Where satisfactory final proof has
been made prior to the classification,
the entrymen will be entitled to a
patent without reservation. unless it
shall be shown that at the time of such
proof and entry, the land was known to
be valuable for coal.

Mayor City Herders Named.

The new council was organized at the
city hall on Tuesday evening and here
after the city's business will be handled
BY twelve aldermen instead of eight and
it will require seven members for a
quorum instead Of five. After the new
members had taken the oath of Office the
new council organized BY electing R.
H. johnson as president and, James R.
Stewart as vice president. -
The first work for the new council was
to confirm the standing committees ap-
pointed by the mayor for the ensuing
year and the appointments were all con-

Martin Heiser and John Metz were

be allowed to start their herds as soon
az the required $500 bonds are furnished.
The question of the long and short
term forsthe aldermen in the new wards
is still unse tiled. The matter could
be easily settled between the four alder
men concerned but they were all elected
for q term of two years and it is quite
a problem to say they are NOT entitled
to serve the full term. The city attorney
was unable to find any provision in the
code to cover this case and for the
present it has not been determined who
shall take the short term. The mayor
expects to call a meeting next week
and the question may be settled at that
time.

parents on the East Side the latter

developed. Many sorrowing friends
were present to pay their last tribute

SHOT BIG ELK.
Carcass Found in Woods Near Ark
VILE, Delaware County.

Carcass Found in Woods Near Ark
vile, Delaware County.
Last week party of game protec-
tors and surveyors who are stalking
out state land on the mountain near
Arkville, Delaware county, found a
large buck elk dead. The animal
had probably been dead ten days or
two weeks. 1t was shot through the
head by large calibre rifle and had
not been taken from the place where
it had fallen. Whether the animal
had been shot at some other place
and eluded its pursuers, or whether
1t had been shot and dropped on the
spot, 1t is impossible to say.
The game protectors are making a
strenuous effort to locate the man
who did the shooting, but as there
are no clues this will probably be i'm
possible. The animal is without
doubt one of the herd which was lib
Grated from the park of George j.
Gould, at Furlough Lodge three years
ago, and have been at large in that
section since. 1t Is claimed that
they have been a great menace to
crops, as no fence would keep them
out. Many crops In the vicinity of
the woods have been destroyed by the
big animals. The men who saw It
said that it would weigh 500 pounds,

dent Of Steene, died at the home Of

left him with a terrible cough. By
spells he would seem to be ON the
gain for several days, but the rack
ing cough and his age were against
him. He was a man highly respected
by all who knew him. He is survived
by two sons-John, of New York,
and Richard, on the old homestead.

We think there ought to be law
to prohibit hunters and trappers
from building dead falls that re-
semble large summer kitchen, and
batting with fresh meat to entice
cats which certainly are the farmers
friend, and leave them to suffer from
sometime during the night until the
trappers' rounds are made the next
night. One instance of during the
cold snap of last week, the Bobolink
having a cat that ten dollar bill
wouldn't have taken, didn't show up
in the morning as usual, but think
ing he was having a feast at the
barns as mice and rats are plentiful
at this time of year, but when the
trapper made his rounds in the even
ing the cat was fast in one of his
kitchens, still alive. but with its
hind parts frozen hard. Isn't it
to animals? A trapper ought
to look to his traps every morning,
and save suffering.

WOULDN'T CHANGE SENTENCE.

Tears Of Convicted Woman's Daugh-
ter Had no Effect on the Judge.
At the last term of Lackawanna
county court Judge Searle, of Homes
dale, who was on the bench, sentenc-
ed Mrs. Anna Helbing to six months
in the county Jail. She was con-
victed Of keeping a bawdy house
and with selling liquor without a IL
cense and two strong cases were
made out against her.
Judge Searle sentenced her to
three months in each case, the terms
to be served cumulatively.
Last Thursday morning two daugh-
ters of the woman appeared before
the judge who sentenced her, and
asked that he change the order of
court regarding the sentences and
make them run concurrently. If
their request was granted their
mother would have to serve only
three months.
Despite the weeping and wailing
of one of the women, Judge Searle
refused to change the sentence. The
woman carried a child in her arms
and created quite a scene.
The judge told her that when he
pronounced sentence three months
ago, he showed exceptional leniency;
that the convicted woman had been
proved a most undesirable citizen
and that she was extremely fortunate
to escape with as light a sentence as
she got.
