lTY. SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY. DEC. 8, 1909

January, the time at which such ap-
pointments are usually made by the
governor, but owing to the number OF
applicants and the inability at that
time on the part of the governor to
distinguish in any one of them quail
ties that appeared to make him more
deserving than the others, the APP
pointment was deferred.
Among the other applicants were
William Trathen and Robert Dough
erty of Lead, and they both had am.
pie endorsements. The present in.
cumbent, who has been reappointed,
has made a thoroughly competent Of
fcer and this action of the governor
will doubtless meet with approval.

found in the general impression that
the difficulty will not be of long dura-
tion, and that settlement of some
sort will be arranged before many
weeks. just what the nature of this
settlement is to be is mere specula-
tion, as the company declines to give
public utterance to any forecast of
its intention.
Although hundreds of men have
left Lead, some temporarily for other
camps, and many intending not to re-
turn under any circumstances, the
depression consequent upon condi-
tion so vitality affecting the Black
Hills is not as wide spead nor as deep
as we expected. No immediate steps
have been taken by the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners or other employees
organizations to give relief, as none of
the men with families and who ex-
pect to remain, being able to stand
idleness for while without any as
SiStanCe.

Predicts December is
Storming5 Month.
AAAy Billiards ARE non PREDICTED
The Reactionary Storm Period is
From 9Th to I 9Th and Reguise
Storms on 22nd to 2 5th.

A reactionary storm period Is CEN
trail on the 4tl, 9Th and 9th. Butthe
probabilities are that the last storm
in November will last one or two days
into DeceMloer, with rain and snow,
especially In eastern parts OF the
country. A cold wave Of much In
tensity will prevail over western to
central sections OF the country as we
pass from November into December.
From the 4th to the 7th the cold
Will relax, the barometer will fall, and
renewed storms OF rain and snow will
prevail over most sections Of the
country, passing In regular progress
slve order from west to east. Behind
these storms look for return TO rising
barometer and clearing, cold weather.
A regular storm period extends
from 9th to l4th, being centrAl on the
1lth. This period embraces new
moon at IN eclipse on the 18th. The
eclipse OF the moon 1t must be remom-
bered, falls on November 9th, and
the eclipse Of the sun ON December
18th. About the 9Th to 18th Of De-
cember Is Also . time Of maximum
magnetic perturbation, due to cert4s.i
relations OF earth and sun the eaftll's3
south magnetic pole being most In
clined to the sums equator. Very low
barometer and marked rise IN temper
ature will begin In western sections
about the 10th, sind during l1th to
18th violent winter storms Will sweep
eastWardly ACROSS tho country. Fierce
gales and high tides Will prevail on:
the Atlantic ocean generally, ct this
and following December periods. Bile
yards from the northwest, followed by
cold wave and high barometer that
VIII reach far into the south, shout
the 18th to the 18th. N soisnie p0ri-i
% Is central on the 18th, covering the
10th to l4th. 81 .S'1sS .3,l
A reactinary storm period ID con.
tral on the 18th, 18th and 18th. The
strain OF the December solstice Will
be minifest BY continuous boreal
storms through this period and
throughout all this part 81 the month,
especially over the north Atlantic
coasts and seas.
A regular storm period, central on
the 22nd, covers the Doth to 25th.
This period Is at the center OF the
winter solstice. In all reason 1t will
bring heavy winter storms on land and
sea. The mercury period begins at
this time and will increase the inten-
sity and prolong the existence OF
storm conditions. This means hard
snip and danger to unprote cted 81 live
stock and unwatchful men. These
storms are apt to continue over the
limits OF the period In consequence of
the mercury disturb ance and the op.
position Of the moon on the 26th.

days renewed storms of sleet and
snow will sweep over most parts o1
the country and will be followed by
high barometer, blizzardous winds and
very cold. Another seismic period
extends from the 23rd to 18th. This
brings us to the end OF another year.

AFTER the fashion OF the political

offer Of q prize by the Old Settlers
association for the young lady over
sixteen who can hitch up q team and
drive 1t around q block the quickest.
Such q young lady in herself would be
as good prize as we would want.
The prize-winner would be regarded
as such by the multitude OF young
farmers present. These young fellows
are the future or present owners of

and come to the picnic In automobiles

And, once let it be known that these

We then returned to Mauitou. We
left team and driver and took the

This 10 more beautiful than the Viii.

on we strOlled through Stratton park.
This Is a natural park OF much beauty.

domes, peaks and pillars. We are soon
near what is called he"Devil's Slide"
This slide 10 perhaps 1000 feet high.
1t is beginning to get dark and we
must hurry on. We must get to the
summit before it Is too dark. The
great tall pines by the road side make
beautiful scenery. We come to an arch
over the road and we are informed that
it will cost US 81 90 to 60 further. OF
course We did not rebel, as II Was GET

money Is handed over and we are
nearing the Ssven Falls. Stopping for

hungry and tired. After our hunger Is
satisfied we retire.

The Old Settlers Association OF
Union county, occupies space In each
OF the papers Of the county this week
to announce their annual picnic, held
this year at Alcester. There seems
10 have been q great desire to keep
this In the south end OF the county,
but Alcester went after 1t this year
and captured it. There will be q
large attendance from Beresford, and
now that it has gotten out Of the
bounds suggested by tie South-euders
we suggest that it be held In Beres-
ford next year.-Beresford Republic.
We suggest a second to the Repub-
lies motion as above. And right here
let US record the certainty that neither
at the south end nor 10 the middle Of
the county IL there any desire to con-
fne the meetings Of the Old Settlers
to any particular locality. We hap
pen to know that overtures were made
by the officers Of the association two
years ago to Alcester and that the
meeting finally went to Elk Point be-
cause Alcester did not get In motion
soon enough. It may not be wise for
the meeting to 60 10 Beresford next
year, since the gathering il held In the
north end this year, but in 1911 II
surely ought to 60 to Beresford and
undoubtedly will If Beresf0rd wants 1t.
The only reason why BeresfOrd has
never had 1t Is because Beresford
people have never attended the picnic
in any appreciable numbers, never
have manifested any interest In tin
short, have never wanted 1t or tried to
get 1t. We are heartily glad the
north end is now taking an interest In
the matter and for one are willing
Beresford should have the picnic next
year II she can't wait until 1911.
