ssnatorium, located at Colorado
Springs, Colo, for the treatment of
members afflicted with tuberculosis,

thereon an up to date sanatorium. the
tent colony plan being employed.
The first colony was opened for the
reception of patients on Jan. l, 1909.
1t is equipped to care for go pa
tients, to which number admissions
will be limited for the present.
The tents are octagonal structures,
with shingle roofs, canvas sides, hard
wood floors on solid cement founda-
tions. heated by a central plant,
equipped with all modern conven-
fences, such as telephones, etc., and
each tent will accommodate one pa
tient. An administration building
] for physicians, nurses, dining hall,
baths of all kinds ETC., stands in the
center of the colony.
DR.. j. f. White, formerly of the
Nordrach ranch sanatorium, the medi-
cal director in charge, states that
! only those consumptive msmbers who
are curable. or whose lives may be
prolonged for a considerable length of
time. will be admitted as patients.
The wisdom of this rule is apparent.
Rigid medical examination as con-
sidtion precedent to admission will be
insisted upon in every case, and spe-
cal blank forms have been prepared
for this purpose.
A movement is already under way
to equip the second colony plant of &C
tents. Each tent or tent house, COM
pletely equipped, represents an ex-
pense of $3.50 and number of local
camps, or lodges. of the society have
decided to donate tents. AS there
are over 13, 900 local camps of Modern
Woodmen, and over 1000, 900 mem
bers, it is anticipated that severa
colonies will soon be equipped in thi'
way.
The members and local camps
| of the society have voluntarily con
tributed to the sanatorium fund owe
$40, 600. and at the last national con
vention a permanent tax of ten cents
/ per member per year was voted to tbs
support of this work.
The last official Woodmen reports
! show that during the years 1891 1907
inclusive, H. per cent of the tota
mortality. or 5,156 deaths, were
charged to tuberculosis, and that 13. 8
I per cent of the total insurance losses in
those years, SO, 065, 900, resulted from
! this cause. AS the mortality exper-
, ience of the Woodmen society has
been unusually favorable, being but
70 per cent of the expected at all ages
under the National Fraternal congress-
table, death rate of but 6.29 pei
$1O00--or but a. 98 per 1000, if the ex-
perience of the first five membership
years be included-the heavier in

LAWYER HUNTS
WITHOUT LICENSE
Joe Kirby, of Sioux Falls, Will
Make Fight on State
Game Law

Sioux Falls, Nov. 90 State Game
Warden Bancroft of WATERFOWL who
has been in Sioux Falls and vicinity
for the past three days, has sworn
out a warrant for the arrest of Joe
Kirbv., a prominent attorney Of this
city.
The charge that is lodged against
Mr. Kirby is shooting wild ducks
without a license as required by law.
Mr. Kirby makes no denial of his
having hunted without a license.
His defence will be that the law is
unconstitutional in that it provides a
license fee of 81 for residents of the
state, and SIS for non-residents,
which he claims is discrimination.
If Mr. Kirby's contention proves
good it will mean that every game
law now in operation in the various
states will be knocked out as thew all
make a higher license fee for non
resident than for residents.

Lest We Forget

Today the wheels of business stop
for twelve hours and this great
American Republic pauses for a few
moments in it's mad rush for wealth
to consider the beginning of this
untold prosperity, for which we
give thanks this year.
Thanksgiving is distinctly an
American holiday, and its observance
should be sacred to all loyal Ameri.
cans. Back there in the autumn of
1921. when Governor Bradford set
apart a day for the giving of thanks
he did so because that little band of
loyal pilgrims was still alive and
was able to gather enough food
from Mother Earth to keep them
through another long cold winter.
How different the picture that we
see today! Instead of that little
band of pilgrim fathers, we see
many millions of prosperous and
happy people, gathered from all
corners of the globe to enjoy the
privileges and liberties for which
those heroic forefathers laid the
foundations through their sacrifices
and sufferings. Hence in the midst
of the feasting and sport of the pres
ent Thanksgiving Day, it is but meet
that we should devote few minutes
to reflection and gratitude for the
bounteous gifts we have received as
a people, as well as individually.
Let it be a Thanksgiving Day in
fact as we'll as name.

BANQUET OPENS
POPULAR CLUB
Welfare of Miller" Slogan of
New Commercial Club
Fine Club Rooms Ready For Big
Opening This Week

Miller has a Commercial Club.
This organization has been badly
needed in the city for many years,
and we are pleased to announce that
the new club is in harness and ready
at all times to look after the city's
welfare.
The club is organized with mem
bership of about sixty O. the promi-
nent business men of Miller and is
under the m nagement Of a board
of directors consisting Of J. 7. Nc
Cullen, H. J. Cooke. E. f. Waite.
John Pussy and H. j. Bushfield.
The second floor of P, H. Coquil-
lette's new cement block building
has been leased and the rooms are
about ready for occupancy.
The clubs new quarters consist of
a large reading room, furnished in
fine leather furniture, rugs, draper
les, ETC., and stocked with the late
popular magazines and newspapers.
Also a card room furnished with the
necessary articles, and a billiard
room with one billiard and one pool
table. The rooms will be under the
care of a ~janitor and the members
all furnished with keys, but with
the privilege of extending the
courtesies of the club to out Of
town guests only. Plans are under
headwav for a big opening celebra-
ton and banquet in a few days, but
the exact date has not been decided
upon yet.
The purpose of this Commercial
Club is primarily the welfare of
Miller. 1t is here to look after any
business enterprises that may come
our way and to boost for town,
co univ and state. In the last few
years there have been several such
enterprises lost to the city for lack
of just such an organization to take
hold of the matter, and it is hoped
that the city will be benefited very
materially in the future through
the efforts of the club. The second
airy object of the new club is to fur
nish a place of amusement for its
members, and much pleasure and
social intercourse is looked forward
to in the new rooms.

GOOD HEALTH
IN So.
Statistics Show State the Health
lest i'm the Union

Pierre, S. d., Nov. Is i wish to
call the attention of physicians, clerks
of courts and the people generally to
the splendid advertising given to
South Dakota through every news
paper in America using Associated
Press reports, in the news special
from Washington, in which the gov
eminent officials accord to South
Dakota the pre-eminence of being
the healthiest state in the union and
consequently the healthiest COM
munity in the world. This distinc-
ton is based upon the reports of
deaths to this department as requir-
ed by law. If South Dakota is to
retain this official recognition of our
healthfulness every person charged
with the duty of making reports
must be vlgilent and prompt in the
performance of duty. Should the
national census next June develop
that we are not securing reports up-
on at least ninety per cent of all
births and deaths, we will not be
permitted to remain in the recogniz-
ed registration area. Money can
not purchase advertising so valuable
to the state as the official report Of
our healthfulness spread broadcast
over the world bv the Associated
Press. | trust every citizen will ap-
preciate the value of these reports
and do ali he can to assure their &C
curacy by reporting every birth and
death, for the report of which he is
liable The Importance of this work
justiies cooperation of all citizens
to make the returns perfect.

The c. & N. W. roads going to
build across the north nd of Hand
County. This move VS. really I'M
expected, as very few,eople believ-
ed that the company puld parallel
their own main lines With another
between them. But sch is to be
the case with the ney Onida-Hitch-
cock line.
Messrs Myers an Gibson. the
Northwestern rigt-of-way men
we're in Miller Mohay and went
north from here. togo over the line
and contract for tn right-of-way,
They pay 81 down as earnest and
the balance in the sring. Abstracts
of the right of way r being
brought up by bstractor c. M
Dwyer, of Miller.
All doubts and Seculations as tC
the intention of ne company are
now settled. Thnew line will rur
from Onida, in Sully county, tO
Hitchcock, acrosSthe north end OF
this county. Thre will be three
stations in Ham county,, one in
Carlton twp. onein Howell and one
in Ontario.
Railroad building always means
development and the new line will
prove a big thing for Moth Hand
by bringing in many nev settlers.
To the outsider it would seem tina
the real reason for the rod Is that
the &. q N. w. territoryiS threat
ened by other roads. ad that the
new line is simply to prtect a terri
tory already supplied By them. 1T
seems probable that bon the Mil
waukee and the M. & S l.. will al
so soon make definate rpves in this
territory. If so, Had county's
population will double aside of five

Opportunities For Girls

Miss Sadie Galloway, of Chicago,
advises working girls of that city to
come to South Dakota. Miss Gallo
way was a former resident of Miller,
and in an interview in the Chicago
Record Herald she speaks very high
!y of the opportunities for working
girls in this county and state.
Miss Galloway's communication is
in part:
Il am in receipt of a letter from a
friend in South Dakota who states
that there is a great need for county
school-teachers in Hand county,
where | used TO live. | promised
him to do my best in getting some.
This is among Christian homes,
They pay $40 a month for second
grade teachers and living expenses
are low.
Il was in South Dakota for several
months" said Miss Galloway yester.
day, land | would have been there
yet had not an unusual business OPP
portunity called me back to Chicago
Any girl who is willing to work anc
who has a high school education car
get along there, There are man,
more opportunities for girls in thu
West than there are in crowded cen
tiers like Chicago, where everything
is dear except human life.

STRIKE CALLED
AT HOMESTAKE
Miners Walk-Out Causes Serious
Results In Black Hills

Lead, Nov. pa general strike
among the $500 employees of the
Homestake Mining company was
called at Lead Monday.
The basis ST the dispute, according
to the company is the sociaIistic
tendencies of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners with whom the local
Superintendent, Il. S. Grier. of the
company declared 1.-The Homestake
sees In this strained effort to COM
pletely unionIze this camp, a desire
on the part of those responsible for
the movement, to take from the COM
pany the control of its own property
and is taking the only means at
hand for retaining such control"
This was the motive that prompt
ed the company to issue the order
that or and after January l., next,
no union man would be employed by
company and giving the present
employees until December Is to reg
lister their remuneration of the union
and continue work.
The order was 50 sweeping that it
aroused the feelings of the employees
to a high pitch. This strike is the
first in the history of the mine. a
fact that is due largely to the benz
flcent efforts of Mrs Phoebe Hearst
in the interest of the miners.
