STATE HISTORIAN
ESTIMATES CITIES

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 24.--Doane Rob-
dnson, of the department of history,
has been preparing census figures
based on the state school census
which has just been completed for this
year. The figures show a school pop
ulation of 160,526, an increase Of 1850
over h returns Of a year ago. These
figures taken on the same pro rata
basis Of the census Of 1905 show that
the total population of the state is $685.
T94, not SO great an Increase for the
past five years as has been generally
believed. Using the same proportion
for city population, his figures give the
population of principal towns in the
state as follows: Aberdeen, 1908;
Bookings, 2,955; Deadwood, 1857;
Huron, Ella; Lead, 1864; Mitchell,
6,S22; Pierre. 1861; Sioux Falls, H.
544; Rapid City, 2,949; WATERFOWL,
1856; Yankton, 2,S79. WATERFOWL
shows the greatest increase n sew
eral towns show reductions. The fig
ures give Aberdeen and Lead a close
run for second place.

LONDON. March ~. 19vy.
Scientific circles in England forgot all
about the naval scare when the news
arrived of Lieut.. Shackleton's record
tourney to the south pole. Great hopes
are based on the natural history discov-
cries, while the fact that fossil organisms
were found in considered one of the most
important items of news respecting the
expedition. Previous expeditions brought
only fragmentary specimens, believed TO
lie fossils, but they were practically use
less for research purposes.
Before he left England Lieut. Shackle-
ton had great hopes that his motor ear
would enable him TO get very near the
south pole. He explained TO his friends
several things about the construction OF
the car, which had been specially made
for the expedition. The body Was made
very high. because of travelling through
snow. and the wheels were so made that
either spikes or studs could be screwed
into the rim, the spikes for travelling
over ice and the studs for travelling over
snow. Lieut.. Shackleton said that when
they got the motor ear started they would
have to travel day and night. and the
inside was arranged so that some one of
the three who We're 10 accompany the
ear could always be asleep.
He perfectly confident that the
motor car on the great antarctic CONT
nent would enable him TO accomplish
much more than had ever been done be-
fore, but a matter of fact. il seems
10 have been of very little use. There
is no mention in the messages which
nave SO far reached this country of it
having been employed in the dash for the
pole. and dependence seems TO have been
entirely on sledges drawn by Siberian
ponies-the latter being shot for the pot
as food became Scarcer. 1t Is a disap-
pointment for those who were specially
attracted by the idea of motoring to the
south pole, and the inference is that the
ice barrier offered obstacles to anything
less sure than flesh and blood.
But the expedition shows the amount
of hard and valuable work accomplished
in one antarctic summer. Not single
day appears to have been wasted. and
haps best realized when one remembers
that il is hardly eleven weeks since Lieut.
Shackleton stood at his farthest south
This expedition. in fact, seems to have
accomplished more In one season than
the Scott expedition did in two, a result
which can only be attributed to the ex-
traordinary energy and resolution OF Its
leader.

Average Wage Paid Ministers
Computed at 1925.
COMPILED FROM REPORTS
Figures Secured From Every State
and Territory.
Welded TO THEIR CALLING
Estimated by Chicago Writer That
81 Per Cent Would Preach in
Spite of Low Pay.

A writer for a Chicago paper has been
looking into the salaries of American
preachers. Without taking into account
parsonages occupied by them, he finds
that the average salary paid ministers in
this country is $S25. 1t is estimated that
30 per cent of the ministers are furnished
parsonages, so that were this free house
rent taken into consideration the average
salary would be somewhat increased.
The statistics were secured by sending
out several hundred letters to pastors
chosen at random in every state and ter
ritory and representing eleven denomna-
tons. The ministers We're asked to state
their number of years of service, the
money invested in their professional
training. their present salary and the
with which it is paid. Ten
per cent of the pastors did not reply
were retired or had no remuneration.

the bonded and floating indebted

bonds totaling two millions and q
half The present holders of bonds
will either be paid off on the next
interest date. February, or they will
take the new issue bonds. This will
reduce the floating Indebtedness ot
the plantation to some FIVE hundred
thousand dollars, and put the stock
holders in a much more satisfactory
position.
Perhaps the average stockholders

but they have to thank the high
ideals Of the head of Bishop & Co.
that they have any stock. BY all
odds the best money-making method
OF dealing with Olaa during the days
of its adversely would have been to
have frozen out" the stockholders
and placed the property in the hands
Of the bondholders and creditors.
This could have been done and by
many would have been regarded not
only as a legitimate business move
but very proper one. Mr.. Damon
has not seen It that way however.
His financial policy has been to
build up rather than revive through
destruction. and that is why the
stockholders. In Olaa today have
something OF value for their certl-
ficates of stock.
Olaa is now in good condition else
1t would not be possible to refund
the loan. It will have a first class
crop this season. and the returns

value of thorough cultivation that
