The improvement in the Academy
and Normal Departments this year is
especially notable. Dr. Barton, who is

ly impressed with this and compliment

WANTS TIMBER SAVED.

The President sent a special mes
sage to Congress on Friday asking
that that body take up seriously the
work of saving the forest timber, the
mineral deposits, and the water-power
of the country. He transmitted with
the message a report of the National
Conservation Commission which show
ed that the American people are
using up coal, iron, stone and lumber
so fast that within half a century
there will not be enough of these
necessaries to meet the requirements.
Roosevelt asks for 100000 to enable
the Conservation Commission to get
the facts and place them before Con-
gress and the people. It is evident
that the President wished to secure
this good act for the benefit of the
country before he goes out of Of
flee. so that a share of the honor for
il will be his. Congress will act, how
ever. only when crowded to it by
public sentiment. There will be a
meeting TO discuss the conditions of
our national natural resources next
month in Washington. Roosevelt has
sent Clifford Pinchot, the Chief For
ester, to Mexico to invite personally
President DiaZ to send representa-
tives for his country to this confer
ence.
The one branch of the work for re-
scuing our national wealth which is in
a hopeful state is that of detecting
frauds in connection with the buy
Ing of government lands in the West.
Secretary Garfield's report on that
subject, and his demand for a million
dollars to use in prosecuting the So
called 'land-grabbers," are being
'avorably received by Congress. They
nave been emphasized by a warning /
rom the field superintendent of the
land Office. who states that the Of
enders must be tried Immediately
n else they will escape by plead
ng the statues OF limitations, under
which acts committed several years
go are made safe from court pro-
eedings.

Washington, d. c.
January %, 1909.

The tendency to Capitalization of
power in the Federal government
received staggering blow last Mon
day when the Supreme Court decid-
I'd that a state can punish the form
alton of trusts" The decision
dealt with The Waters-Pieree Oil
Co., owned by the Standard Oil Co.
itself, and it affirms a fine of ST.
$4,000 which Texas imposed on the
Waters-Pierce Co. for violation of
state antitrust laws.
The meaning of this decision,
coupled with previous decisions cur
failing the ability of the national
government to regulate trusts and
monopolies, seems to be that the
United States as a whole cannot
under the Constitution control the
harmful practice of monopolies while
on the other hand the individual
states of the Union, acting separate
ly, can do so. This decision will
encourage the state fights against the
trusts, which have Jagged Of late, and
many states will pass laws like that
of Texas, which only a short time
ago was made sport of by the more
Sophisticated commemorative. The
trusts will be cut up by small pieces,
like cutting a tree down by ehopping
up each branch separately. The Texas
law applies to railroads as well as
other big companies, so that the
prospects of reform are limitless.
On the same day the Supreme Court
heard the arguments on the famous
Commodity clause" of the Hepburn
Antitrust Act, which forbids rail-
roads to transport articles the manu-
/ facture or production of which it
owns. Some wealthy Pennsylvania
railroads own a string Of coal mines,
and are abel to raise the price Of
coal by not only controlling the
! transportation but the production Of
| it. The Government has been pro-
scouting them, but the Circuit Court
held that the commodities clause
was unconstitutional, Judge Grey Ct
MARYLAND making himself renowned
by that decision. Now the case has
been heard by the Supreme Court II
the decision is against the Hepburn
Act. its effect will be to throw the
regulation of railroads into the hands
of the individual states,-i. e., II
viii be a defeat for Roo5evelt's po-
Icy of allowing the nation as a whole
to deal with evils which affect it as
a whole.

BOUGHT INDIAN SCHOOL
To BE Converted into Catholic Col
lege-None Other Within 500
Miles-Price Paid $4,000.

Pukwana Press: Father O'Flaherty
notified members of his church in
Pukwana last night that he had just
received a message from Bishop
.O'Gorman, who is in Washington ne
got:ating the sale of the Indian school
at Chamberlain by the government to
the Catholic society, stating that his
bid Of $31,5OO was the highest bid
and that the sale has been authorized
to be made at that figure.
1t is stated that the school will be
converted into a modern Catholic
colleee, both commercial and classic,
and the most enthusiastic say it will
be made a second Notre Dame.
There is no Catholic college nearer
this point than Omaha, Nebraska,
and there is evry reason to belive
thai such an institution would be a
great thing for Chamberlain.

oil and gas even might be had by a
thorough search. Water claimed
priority and a company of citizens
organized and sunk a we'll Gin the
dalis'. 1t was the first in the Terri
tory and demonstrated the existence
of the artesian basin underneath us.
AT a later date when the north side
we'll was sunk there was a distinct
understanding that the we'll should
go deep enough to test the existence
OF ccal, OIL and gas; but the tremend-
Gus outpour of water that came as
soon as the vein was struck seemed
to discourage further operations at
that time; and this delay proved ia
tal TO one of une most important pur-
poses of that enterprise.
But the delay has been of no dis
advantage, provlulng the work can
be taken up now. me machinery used
for deep we'll boring has been greatly
improved and the liability of failure

May Irwin and Baking Powder.

' There are two little errors in the
article you published the other day
about May Irwin and others. These
ladies could hardly use the baking
powder named, because it is an alum
powder, and they are obliged in order
to perform their professional duties
to keep in perfect health. and they
could not nor do they employ the
powder named in cooking or baking.
The other is about that Highest
Award claimed to have been given
said baking powder at the Chicago
Exposition. 1t is a fact that at the
Chicago Worlds Fair the managers
excluded absolutely and totally all
alum baking powders from partici-
patton in either exhibits or awards,
because they were not deemed prop
er articles of food, so that it would
not have been possible for that bak-
ing powder, being an alum powder,
to obtain an award thereat. either
highest or otherwise. DR.. Prices Bak-
ing Powder, a pure, cream Of tartar
powder, received the highest award

Interest in Apple Show

Spokane, WASH, July 10.-Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pa
ciIc Railway company, has accepted
the presidency of the National Apple
Show, Inc, which will award $4,000
in prizes and trophies at its second
annual exhibition in Spokane, De-
cember 6 to IL. He succeeds Louis
w. Hill, PRESIDENT of the Great North
ern Railway company, who was head
of the organization last year.
The primary purposes of the expo
sit:on are to educate the growers and
handlers to the fact that the apple is
a staple product; that the markets
at home and abroad are constantly
increasing; that prizes for clean fruit
of color. size and flavor are advance
ms: that the demand was never
greater than at present, and that
over-production is entirely out of
question during this century. 1t is
also designed to establish a standard,
with the view toward a greater de-
yelcpment of the apple industry.
The competitions in the various
classes, ranging from $1,000 for the
hes car of apples to SIS for the best
single fruit, will be free and open to
ell, rho plan being to have a su1fi-
GENTLY wide variety to make a worlds
errosition, in which every exhibitor
viii have a chance in the awards.

rotary of the organization, "each for

members of the graduating class had
to keep expenditures at a minimum
a very fair estimate would be that
the average expenditure for clothes
bought for commencement was $3.50.
There were 1922 girls who received
the degrees, and at the very modest
estimate of $3.50 per girl, the aggre
gate bill for clothes was not far from
$50, 1000.
1t was a great season for North

Smith College Commencement Dress
Show Has Been Figured Out to
Have Cost $4,000.

Northampton Letter to Boston Her
aid: Smith college has won the repu-
tation of being n of the best dress
ed of American colleges for women
and this was maintained by the gor-
geous display OF b~accalaureate Sun
day, when the display of gowns and
hats was the richest in the history of
the college.
AT a luncheon on the campus one
of the matrons expressed the opinion
that the girls have come to the turn
of the road and that never again will
Smith behold SO glorious a show. Said
one Of the matrons.
Never before were so many rich
and beautiful gowns Worn and 1 I'M
derstand that it is the desire Of Presi-
dent Seelye that never again shall
there be such a show. The amount of
money spent was simply enormous.
Things have been going SO that now
it is practically impossible for a girl
not to look entirely out of place un-
less she veal a gown that is far bet
ter probably than any she eve had
before or ever will have again.
"The extent to which the girls car
ried their love for fine clothes this
commencement has done more to ush-
er in the academic cap and gown than
any other thing that has yer hap
pened here. For years the college
has been opposed to the academic
| garb, on the ground that it savored
too much of the ecclesiastical. Now it
seems to be a case of the cap and
gown or an annual dress parade I'M
college Of the country. Some time ago
the college choir adopted the gown,
and nothing terrible occurred to indi-
cate that divine vengeance was to be
visited on the institution. In about
the same way the cap and gown for
candidates for the baccalaureate de-
gree will come in.'
An estimate Of what the Smith SEN
Tor class spent this year for gowns
hats and other finery was sought from
a number of the dressmakers and
milliners. A statement by nj of them
at the outset vas acquiesced in by
several, and was that, some Of the

THE AUTOMOBILE PARADE
A zine Lot of Cars Were in Parade
Monday Night, but Race Horses
Were Absent.

An automobile parade in Mitchell
with so many cars in line is a new
thing for Mitchell, and it was witness
ed Monday evening by a large con-
course of people who lined the main
throughare from one end to the
other. The drivers gathered with
their machines at the lower. end of
Main street and then went up to the
corn palace building to make the
start. Five autos were provided for
the Mitchell band to head the pro-
cession. The musicians took their
places in the machines and at the sig
nal the parade started down Main
street. The band played and the
crowd cheered the auto drivers as
they came by, all the machines ar
rying the capacity of the people. The
street was traversed some three or
four times, with the band pumping
music into the air at all stages, and
under somewhat difficult circumstan-
ces from the lurching of the machines
in going over the crossings.
There we're between 35 and 40
autos in the procession, and it made
a big display for the auto interests OF
the city. 1t is the first time that so
many were massed on Main street.
The parade was arranged for the
purpose of advertising the races that
started this afternoon, and it was
supposed that 100 Of the race horses
would be in the parade, but for some
reason only a few made their appear
ance and that part of the parade was
given up.

W E. RYBuRH DEAD
Cashier of First National Bank of Al
cxandria Expired Tuesday Morn
ing After Operation.

After a heroic fight for life and
health during a period of some five
or six years, w. e. Ryburn passed
away Tuesday at the hospital
For the past five years Mr.. Ryburn
has been making a fight for his life
and he has gone through several
severe sieges of sickness all of which
he has come through triumphant IN
til the last.
II was five years ago that Mr.. Ry-
burn was first taken with an attack
of typhoid fever and though sick for
a long time he finally recovered.
About three years later he was taken
with appendicitis and was operated
upon for that and later he was forced
to have a second operation for the
same disease. Next he was operated
upon for abscess. Since then he has
been getting along fairly we'll and
has been able to attend to his business
as cashier of the First National bank
of Alexandria. Saturday afternoon he
was attending to his duties in the
bank, and later was taken i'll with
adhesion of the bowels, something
that has given him trouble for sew
eral years.
His brother-in-law, DR.. r. E. King
was sent for and went down on the
morning train Monday and brought
Mr.. Ryburn up to the hospital for an
operation. The surgeon at that time
told the family there was little chance
for Mr.. Ryburn to recover DR.. Hanch-
cite. of Sioux City, arrived in Mitch
ell on the south train and was an as
sistant at the operation, which was
commenced at 1880 in the afternoon.
The patient passed away this morn
ing at $3.50 O'Clock, and the remains
! were taken to Alexandria on the IL
O'Clock passenger.
They were accompanied by United
States Attorney Wagner and the
| Messrs. Peckham. The deceased was
q brother of Mrs. r.. e. King. Of this
city. DR.. and Mrs. King will go to AL
exandria to attend the funeral SER
vices, the time for which have not
been announced.
Mr.. Ryburn was one Of the most
popular business men in Alexandria
having grown to manhood there, and
by honest integrity and splendid bust
ness habits had acquired a firm hold
on the affections of the people. His
death will be sincerely regretted by
every person who knew him. The
bankers of this city spoke in the high
Fest terms of Mr.. Ryburn and they felt
his death keenly. The local bankers
sent a beautiful Offering of flowers
over to Alexandria.

Mayor Tom Taubman Defied.

Planhinton Mail: Monday afternoon
a collection was taken up anon the
citizens, With which to provide a
fireworks display in the evening.
Mayor Taubman referred to an or
dinance forbidding fireworks" ex-
cept by permission of the city council
and notified those in charge not to
proceed with the display. A crowd
composed Of most of the male popu-
lation of the city gathered on the
streets in the evening, some for the
purpose of assisting in the celebra-
ton and others to see the fun. The
mayor, backed by a majority of the
city council, was outnumbered and
practically every piece of fireworks
in the town was exploded. The mayor
and his assistants were told to go
back and sit down some where out
of the way as the glorious Fourth
was going to be celebrated in the old
fashioned way, regardless of munich
pal authority. The affair was conduct
ed more in a spirit of fun than other
wise and Mayor Taubman was sub
jected to considerable joshing, more
or less rough. 1t is usually a tough
proposition to curb the concentrated
essence of patriotism, which finds re-
lief in a noisy celebration each year,
and Mayor Taubman would have
been justified in telling the pyro-
tchnic artists to make all the noise
they wished. Our advice to both the
city authorities and to the citizens,
is to forget it,"
VIM. Lowery was arrested by may
or Taubman and his case is being
heard before Justice Agnes on the
charge Of being drunk and disorder
ly.
