Two Old Timers Pass Away

NV Az
The telegraph told US last Saturday
that Fl. c. Ash of Sturgis, and A. M.
English of Yankton, had passed away.
Mr.. Ash and wife located in Yankton
in 1859. and MI. English in 1860. Mr..
Ash went to the Black Hills in 1876
and finally located at Sturgis. His
remains were brought to Yankton
and buried the first of the week. MI.
English remained q resident of Yank-
ton from 1860 until he died. He was
a member of the Dakota cavalry dur
ing the civil war. H. G. Ash built
the first hotel in Yankton on the
present site of the Merchants hotel.
Both were genial gentlemen and good
citizens, men who enjoyed the love
and respect Of a large circle of friends.
They we're warm, personal friends Of
the writer, when, as a youth, he was
editor of the old Dakotian. To the
families of both pioneers we extend
our sincere sympathy and regret that
we could not have been present at
their funerals.

Early Feed for Hogs.

An Iowa correspondent asks a ques-
tion which is very common at this
season OF the year, especially in years
of high priced corn. How he "a Sc
cure early grain feed for hogs. He
has a seven-acre field alongside a
twenty-three acre pasture, on which
seven acres he proposes to grow early
feed for his hogs. He thinks Of put
ting in early field corn in n box and
sweet corn in the other, and then
sowing the corn to rape at the last
cultivation, and asks our opinion of
this.
There are two or three ways of get
ting early grain feed for hogs, and the
one that should be adopted will de-
pend on what month in the summer
he needs the grain feed the most.
The very earliest feed can be OBJ
tanned by blowing under. Canada peas
about three inches deep, then seeding
to oats and narrowing them in; or
the peas can be drilled and the oats
narrowed; or the peas can be drilled
not less than three inches deep and
the oats cross drilled, but usually
shallower. The reason for blowing
under or drilling in the peas is be-
cause it is about the only way they
can be kept covered on loose soil. In
the latitude of u correspondent
Dubuque county, Iowa. this should
give good grain feed when the oats
are in the dough, or about the last
DAYS Of June or the first days OF July.

Champion is the earliest we know Of.
This is one method.
When a somewhat later, though
still early, feed Is desired he can plant

Early Day Hospitality in Yank.

The death of H. G. Ash at Sturgis
and his burial at Yankton the other
day recalls 4 story he used to relate
concerning early day society in Yank-
ton. An old settler named John
Stanage located below the Jim river
about four miles east of Yankton.
He had been a soldier and was dis
charged at Fort Randall. He settled
on a homestead in 1861 and after get
ting his affairs in shape he decided to
make a social call on Mr.. and Mrs. Fl.
G. Ash in Yankton, and "a accom-
panied by Mrs. Stanage. Arriving at
the Ash hotel they were given a
hearty greeting by Mrs. Ash, a. WON
en- visitors were very few in those
days.
Mrs. Ash was one of the sweetest,
motherly women we ever met, always
cheerful and happy, kind and gener-
Gus, and faced frontier conditions
with a spirit that made all forget the
short comings Of a new country. On
the occasion Of the Stanage visit Mrs.
Ash was alone, and had nothing in
the house but sugar, coffee and flour,
but Mr.. Ash was down at the river
fishing for catfish. He returned
empty handed and came in the back
way and didn't know he had visitors.
Mrs. Ash met him at the back door
and saw he had no fish.
my Lord Ash, we have visitors,
and there isn't a bit of meat in the
house. Didn't you catch any fish,"
Nope, nary a bite"
go back quick and try the lines
again." said Mrs. Ash. 1--WE have
John Stanage and wife for dinner and
nothing in the house, to eat"
"Back / went," as Mr.. Ash used to
tell it, land 1 hauled in four lines and
nary a fish. When 1 began hauling
in the fifth line 1 knew 1 had some
thing besides bait on the hook. AS
the line shortened l saw l had a big
cat on the hook and my heart crawled
up into my mouth as I watched and
silently pulled in that line. and my
heart seemed to be still until I got
my fingers into the gills Of the big
fellow, and 1 held fast until 1 reached
the hotel. There Mrs. Ash met me
with a smile that was worth all the
cat fish in the Missouri river"
"Mrs. Ash took that fish and baked
it, made biscuit and a cake and with
pure old Java coffee, we had a dinner
equal to anything I ever sat down to
in my life. l thought then," and as
he told it years after, land I still
think it was the best catfish ever
caught in the Missouri river. No
coffee ever had a better flavor and the
biscuits and cake were delicious, and
our guests thought our house was just
loaded with good things. MI. Stanage
and his wife went home with the i'm
preston that the Ash hotel was the
finest ever, and didn't know that I
had almost heart failure in providing
that big fish,"

Maintenance OF Fertility.

Wallace's Farmer: The farmers of
the west, if they but realized it, are
up against about four problems of the
first order both in magnitude and
difficulty, on the correct solution of
which their financial, political, and
social we'll being largely depends.
The first Of the problems is the
maintenance of the fertility of the
soil; another is the education of their
children in line with the farm spirit
aud farm work; another is such i'm
proved methods Of transportation and
distribution of farm products as will
give the farmer his equitable share:
and the fourth is the equitable dis
tribution Of taxation as between
farmers and others.
OF these the first is not only the
greatest but of the most immediate
Importance. In fact, it underlies all
the others; Tor the education Of chill
dren along farm lines will invariably
increase the expense, which can be
met only by taxation, and this can be
borne only by farms of high fertility.
Transportation and distribution is
measured by the amount to be dis
tributed, and that is measured by
soil fertility; while only men who
have large values to be taxed can hold
their own In the contest with the &C
cumulations of large taxable values in
other lines.
The problem of maintaining soil
fertility is not confined to the owner
of the farm. 1t is a social and pOlit-
ical as we'll as an individual problem.
No matter how great the fertility of
the individual farm, it will suffer for
the lack.,of fertility in farms around it.
The farm too poor to grow profitable
crops of grain will grow weeds to in
fest the rich land nearby. If the
neighbors become poor, the neighbor-
hood must suffer socially. For how
ever great may be the dangers OF
wealth, the1 dangers of declining
wealth ending in poverty are still
greater. There is no merit in power
ty, even if.some people make merit OF
it; norris there any virtue in wealth,
except as a means of developing the
character. The poverty of the farms
in the:neighborhood reduces the sell
ing value Of the rich farm many dol
lars per acre. The farms are mem
bers one of another, and if n farm
suffers, declines in fertility, all other
farms near suffer with it. The same
truth. hasa wider application: 1t is
hard to sell a rich farm in a poor
township, county, or state. Farms in
the best part of New York state sell
at about half the value Of similar val
ue and inferior market facilities in
the state of Iowa. Reputation counts
in farms as we'll as In e
The maintenance Of fertility Is,
therefore, a question which Affects
not the individual farmer alone, but
farmers. The farmer who enriches
his farm by buying the grain from bis
neiphbor and feeding it to stock, and
thus impoverishes the others land,
may congratulate himself on his wis
dom and foresight and skill, but he
has not finished payment when he
gives his check for the grain. II he
continues to do this till his work Is
completed, he has lowered the stan
dard of the community, the effects OF
which will be felt by himself and his
family and his farm until his neigh

FALLS HEADLONG
FROM PARACHUTE
LER0YxEZ SERIOUSLY HURT
MAKING DESCEaT
DROPS TWO HUNDRED FEET AND
STRIKES WOODWORK
Caught by Contrary Current, Is Nearly
Capsized, and Hurled to Earth
Before Recovering His
Balance

Fred r. Leroyxez, employed at the
Chutes park to make ascensions and
parachute drops each Sunday, met
with what may prove fatal accident
yesterdt. afternoon.
Leroy, as he is known, made his
regular ascent without mishap and
when 1000 feet in the air and almost
over the intersection of Fifteenth and
Los Angeles streets cut loose from
the balloon.
He dropped gracefully and went
through a number of acts on the
trapeze attached to the parachute.
When within 200 feet of the ground
the parachute was caught by con-
trary current OF wind and almost cap
sized. Before he could get Strengthened
out he had crashed to the ground,
breaking through a grape arbor in a
rear yard at the corner.
Leroyxez' fall, although broken by
the grape arbor, was a heavy one, for
he shattered several two-by-four
planks that composed the framework
and one was broken diagonally across
the small of his back. He is suffering
from severe internal injuries, the ex-
act nature of which will not develop
before today, and is severely bruised
and cut over his entire body.
The injured man was taken to his
rooms at the LaPaloma hotel, South
Main street, where he received surgi-
cal attention provided by the park
management.

RUNAWAY CARS DASH INTO
CLOAK ROOM AT STATION
Place Fortunately Is Unoccupied,
Thanks to Packing House Not
Being in Operation

SAN BERNARDINO, March Is
Yesterday at Redlands a string of cars
that was being handled by the Santa
Fe train crew of the loop freight es-
capped the control of the brakeman
and ran down the spur leading to the
Lyon packing house. They collided
with two refrigerators standing at the
end of the track and directly in front of
the packing house with sufficient force
to shove the body of one of the cars
over the humping post, through the
frame wall and into the women's cloak
room.
Fortunately the latter was unoccu-
pied owing to the fact that the plant
was not in operation. Had this &C.
Cured on a day on which the packing
house was running the dressing room
would have been crowded with girls
and escape would have been impos-
sible.
The crew was attempting to stop a
cut containing two cars heavily load
ed with rock and a box car just about
to clear the main line on which the
rest of the train was standing when
a brake chain broke on one of the cars
Before the brakeman could get to an
other car they had gained sufficient
speed down the heavy grade at this
point to collide with the other cars.
The damage to the packing house
is estimated at $500, but the cars were
only slightly scratched.

UNDERGROUND WIRE
WORK MADE EASIER
INVENTOR PATENTS DEVICE
FOR CONDUIT LAYING
Telephone and Other Subterranean
Lines Enabled to Accomplish in
Half Minute What Formerly
Required Hour

PASADENA, March 2S-An inven-
ton which will revolutionize the laying
of wires in underground conduits has
been patented by Frank Crawford of
Pasadena, has been tested by the
Home Telephone company at Pasadena
and is pronounced practical by Manager
John w. Holmes, who will use it in the
future and who will recommend it to
the other branches of his company.
The task of placing wire cables in
conduits has been one of the most diff
ficult and expensive of all construction
work. Always, in laying the condults,
a, small wire is left in the pipes, but
this speedily corrodes and the work of
getting the cables through $50 feet of
piping becomes an operation which two
or three men with jointed rods and
various sizes of wire, have to labor at
for an hour at least.
With the new machine, which re-
sembles a hose reel, the work can be
done. as was shown in the test in this
CITY, in less than one-half a minute
twenty-eight seconds being the actual
working time The reel is placed over
a. manhole, a strong steel wire, run
through rubber hose, is started on its
Journey, and two men at the handles
can push it through $50 feet of conduit
in the time stated. The inventor has
pushed the wire through a distance of
500 feet in less than a minute. With
this wire once through, the work of
getting the cable in position is simple
enough.

COUNCILMANIC FIGHT
GROWS COMPLICATED
INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE IS
CAUSING MUCH WORRY
Success of Cole Regarded as Likely
to eliminate in Total Over
throw of the Existing
Regime
EspeclaI to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, March 2S.-The
three-cornered fight in the First ward
for councilman is raging undated. j.
c. Cole, who is running Independently
has become such a formidable candl-
date that the interests who are at
tempting to defeat him are becoming
worried.
The landlord Seccor0 be faction put
up both the Republican and Democrat
lie candidates-D. H. WiXom on the
former ticket and NJ. p. Sullenger on
the latter. Sullenger has proved to be
a weak candidate, as was expected by
the men who secured his nomination,
and il looked for awhile as If they
would have no trouble in getting in
Wixom on the council.
However, Cole is running such a
good race that the -Seccombe
crowd. fearing that he will slip in be-
tween their two candidates, is reported
to be making an effort to get Sullen-
ger out of the fight, so that what Few
votes he would have secured may be
transferred to WiXom.
1t is reported that WiXom, who is
apparently tired of the contest, wishes
to withdraw and let Sullenger fight it
out with Cole. which would mean al
most a sure defeat for the Hanford-
Seccombe faction.
The fight is being watched with in
terest by the entire populace of this
city, for in the event of Coles election
it means political humiliation for the
Hanford- Seccombe regime.
