PAN is INVENTED

Huron, :. D.. Feb. 3.-What is known
as the locomotive automatic ash pan
is being installed on ali locomotives on
the Chicago < Northwestern road in
South Dakota. T.le first engine having
the new device left the shops in this
city a few days since. Among bills that
became law at the close of the last
session of congress, was one requiring
all railroad companies in the United
states to place upon their engines an
automatic ash pan, thereby insuring
the safety of railway employees in the
cleaning of ashes from locomotives, do
ing away with the old method of dump
ing the ashes by getting beneath the
engine. The time given in which these
pans We're to be installed is July |,
1910, the Law, however. going into eff
feet on January l, 1909. During the
last year 1873 persons We're killed or in
jured While performing this work in the
old way.
A. Nj, Urquha"t. of this city, for sew
eral years a reman on the Dakota
Central division of the Chicago &
Northwestern line, is really the father
of the bill, and was called to Washing
ton to give testimony before the COM
mittee having it in charge relative to
its operation and results to be derived.
MIR. urqtihart, assisted by railway men
of Huron, We're earnest in their efforts
to procure the passage of the bill, and
are low watching its effect with no
little interest.

FATE OF GREECE AS
WARNING TO AMERICA

Boston, Feb. 2.-Parallels between the
declining period of Greece and the present
condition Of affairs in the United States
were drawn by Rev. Luther 7. Townsend.

the National Reform association in the
Park Street church.
One peril which aided in the overthrow
of Greece said DR.. Townsend, has al

Is not clearly defined. The politicians Of
California are entitled to a spanking be-

The spas1n here for political reform is lust
such as was seen in Greece. Will the

HUNT WILD GEESE
IN ZERO WEATHER

Pukwana, S. D., Feb. 8
When the therometer has been
registering from 10 to 20 below
zero off and on all winter, one
does not expect to hear of goose
hunting out on the prairies of
South Dakota in the middle of
January, but that is just what
has started the nimrods to talk
ing around here.
Not long ago some sports
declared they saw geese feeding
near Red lake, and today Ted
Golf and Albert Baatz brought
IN their proof in the form of five
white geese. They were fine,
large fellows, called Canada
geese. About 200 have been
feeding in the neighboring corn
fields till lately, when about
one-half of them started for the
sunny south.

With, Montana wheat aver

for the past ten years and bright
prospects Of a large increase in
the production next year many
opportunities are now awaiting
parties who are acquainted with
the flour milling industry. In
Custer county at a rough est
mate, there are $500, 900 acres
of land, about 2,750, 900 acres
berg valley lands, with a
rich soil and possible of irrigation
2,75O, 900 acres of bench lands,
and 1900, 900 acres of rougher
lands, which can be used for
grazing purposes. Othis amou Mt
there is about 1000, 900 acres Of
government land yet remaining
unsettled, which when settled
on will produce from 20 to 40
bushels of wheat to the acre.
The yield Of this grain in Custer
county has been from 80 to 40
bushels to the acre and in this
p4rt of the county many farmers
have realized more than that.

promoters to no small extent.
Within the next two years hum
dreds of new settlers will be
focking into this section of the
country and we predict that
within a few years these settlers
will raise wheat enough to keep
a flour mill running at it's full
capacity all the time. Winter
wheat is almost a sure crop in
this section and a grain (which
by experiment, has proven to be
easily raised.
