STRENUOUS HOG cnAsERs
Central Section of the State Becom-
ing a Prolific Field for Purchase
of Hogs.

The times are strenuous among uoe
buyers. A larger field has been open
ed up in central and southern South
Dakota for the purchase of these ami
mails for the western market in Wash
ington. This field is now occupied
by two buyers from the coast state,
and they r gathering up all the
hogs they a possibly find through
out their territory. j. w. Lawson, OF
Tacoma, Wash, is a buyer on the
market, having just located here a
few days ago. He is the representa-
tive of the Carsten Packing Co. The
other buyer is John Gates, of Seattle,
representing Frye, Bruhn & Co. The
latter firm just recently shipped
ing: establishment. Previous to that
there was a representative here for
a Spokane company and shipped out
a large number.
The Seattle firm has located their
buyer here permanently and he buys
in all parts of the central and south
ern part of the state, ships the ami
mails to Mitchell and then reships
them in trainload lots to Seattle. Mr..
Lawson will follow the same proceed
ure and ship to Tacoma.
Heretofore these coast firms have
purchased all their hogs for the pack
ing plants in Nebraska, and the
change has been made to South Da-
kota for the reason that better time
can be made to their home points.
While shipping from Nebraska the
distance was greater because of the
circuitous route, and it required
about seven days to ship from Ne
braska points and land the hogs at
either point. Since the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road has COM
pleted it's line through to Seattle and
Tacoma the same shipment can be
made in four days and the time to
the packing companies is we'll worth
saving, not to mention the saving in
freight charges.

TURKEYS FOR EMPLOYEES
Wells Fargo Express Co. Presents
Every Employe With a Turkey
for Thanksgiving Day.

There is not an employee of the
Wells Fargo Express Co., from the
general superintendent sitting in his
palatial Office in New York to the
lowliest roustabout in handling the
express of the company. but who will
have a turkey for his Thanksgiving
dinner. The Wells Fargo Co. has
made it an annual custom to present
each of their employees with a turkey
and notice has just been received
by Agent Page that the six employees
of the company in Mitchell would be
provided with a bird, but the peculiar
part of the situation here is that but
one of the employees is married and
the others will have to hunt up a
place to have their turkey roasted.
The company has 6,36S offices in
all parts of this country and some in
Europe covering a mileage of 71,385
miles Of railway and steamship lines.
1t is estimated that there are 10000
people on the pay roll of this gigantic
company, which means that 10000
turkeys have to be found to supply
the employees with their Thanksgiv-
ing dinner and with turkeys averag-
ing 20 cents a pound it will mean that
it will cost the company about $4,000.
This gift only goes to the employees
who have been on the payroll for
the past six months and the Mitchell
Office barely gets in on the six months
proposition, for the Wells Fargo COM
pany only took over the United States
company last spring. One of the
local employees loses out from the
fact that he has been working for
the company only about four months.

NO FOOTBALL GAME
Local Enthusiasts are Again Cheated
of Their Annual Game-Weather
is Very Bad.


The football fans and the Univer-
sity eleven have been hoping against
hope that the weather would change
around to such favorable conditions
that the game would be played with
Yankton on thanksgiving Day.
In conversation with Prof. G. d.
Hardy, of the athletic beard, he said:
We have been studying owe the sit
uaticn, have examined the field and
have come to the conclusion that it
would be impossible to play the game
with Yankton on Thursday. This
morning We had telephone communi-
cation with the coach and manager of
Yankton's team and they were of the
same opinion. Consequently the game
is called off. We regret very much
that it is necessary to call off the
game. for there are a great number
of enthusiastic football people in
Mitchell who would like to see the
team in action against another good
team. This ten days of bad weather,
however. has put the boys more or
less out CT condition, owing to the
fact that there is no place for them
to get into training and even had the
game not been postponed the relative
strength Of the eleven would not have
been developed
There has been very little football
in Mitchell this year, most of the
early games having been scheduled
out of town, and the hope has been
prevalent all the time that on Thanks
giving Day there would be something
doing. Parties who have seen the
athletic field are ready to concede
that it would be a dangerous place
for the boys to play the game. 1t is
covered with ice and snow, and with
the men slipping AMI sliding around
there is no question but what some
Of them would be hurt. It would, al
so, be decidedly uncomfortable for
the spectators. On the side lines the
snow is from a foot to two feet deep
and it would be far from pleasant
for them to wade through the snow.
The crowd, under the circumstances,
would undoubtedly be small and with
a large expense the game would be
a losing venture.

fidence of her associates was not mis-
placed, was amply evidenced by the
success that came to the small COM
pany from the start
Although hampered by the power
full Standard Oil Company ut every
turn, Miss .iacsmann had so closely
reckoned every contingency that des-
pite the obstacles that the wealthy
corporation, entirely devoid Of sem
timent. cast in the way of the strus-
Cling young company, success met
its every effort. Managers of the
Standard marveled at the success OF
the company and Miss Kaemann's ge-
MUS, but 1t waited patiently, wait
ing for the mistake 1t felt was in
evitable.
Then came the venture, together
with the error, that proved the I'M
doing of the Sunflower Refining Com
pany and the shrewd Miss Kaes-
mann.
Saves Experts Fee. Loses Business.
Her company was doing profit
able business in the production Of
Illuminating oils. The residium left
from the crude petroleum after the
Illuminating oils had been extract
ed had been sold for fuel at a low
price. When Miss Kaesmann sug-
scsted establishing plant for the
production of lubricating oils from
this residium. and outlined her plans
they seemed as feasible to her asso-
ciates as they did to her. 1t was de-
cided to take the plunge.
She did not employ an expert to
make an estimate OF the cost. She
and her assistants did this work
themselves and saved the fee that
would have gone to the expert. The
estimate for the plant was $4,000.
When the work finally was finished
1t was found $4,000 had been ex-
pended. This outlay, so much In eX-
cess of Miss Kaesmann's estimate,
depleted the working capital of the
company, and when the obligations
could no longer be met, the receiver
ship was inevitable, and another
competitor for Rockefeller and his
Standard Oil octopus was removed.

CULTIvATES PEPPERMINT
PATCH OF 700 ACRES.

SAGINAW, Mich, Oct. 2.-Seven
hundred acres, part of diked marsh
farm of 1900 acres In this county
owned by the Owosso Sugar Com
pany, is set out in peppermint, and
1t Is one of the prettiest sights ever
seen in rural Michigan.
The farm was reclaimed out of q
vast marsh which for generations
was famous duck hunting ground.
In all there are now within the re.
tanning walls OF the huge farm c.
900 acres under cultivation, and the
remainder is being gradually put to
crops.
There are hundreds of acres or
sugar beets planted annually, and
they grow to immense size. Potatoes
grow to the unusual size of pound
and quarter There are immense
fields of rye, and cabbage and gar
den truck thrive wonderfully.
The farm also includes the finest
and largest hay fields in Michigan,
and they yield an average Of nearly
four tons to the acre. A regular
force of 100 men carries on the farm
work. They live on the farm IN
miniature town built within the
dixie, and their duties are performed
with the latest improved machinery
that the market affords. One hun
bred and sixteen horses are kept the
year around, and the farm Is actu-
ally cultivated with as little trouble
as twenty acre patch owing to the
splendid executive system In force.
BY the expenditure of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars In the erection
of enormous bikes the farm has been
made practically secure against even
the big floods that visit this county
almost every spring and which COM
pletely surround 1t for miles, max
ing communication with the outside
world, frequently for many days,
possible only by boat.

WOMAN RIVAL
NOW BANKRUPT

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1. - When
Miss Hermana Kaesmann, at the head
of the Suniiower Refining Company
of Niotaze, Kan, conducted the af.
fairs of the company in open compe-
ton with the Standard Oil Company,
so that success met their every ven
ture, she and her associates thought
the genius of John ID. Rockefeller
had descended upon the fair young
woman who had created success
full and worthy rival for the great
monopoly.
Yesterday the dream was over,
when receiver was appointed and
the promising competitor of Stand
ard Oil was forced into bankruptcy.
Miss Kaesmann's first mistake was
big one. She miscalculated to the
extent OIL 100000, and that was suf-
licient to put an end, for the time
being at least, to a competitor for
Rockefeller and his powerful asso-
ciates, that threatened to assume
proportions worthy of its powerful
rival.
John DIS Rise Her Incentive.
Miss kaesmann was a school tea
cher at Rochester, n. Y, when she
became interested in the old fields OF
Kansas. She read much literature on
the subject, and was familiar with
the rise of John ID. Rockefeller
through the oil business. She de.
termlned there was no reason wo-
man should not meet with rs great
success in the oil business as any
other field of endeavor. She thor
oughly posted herself on every phase
of the business, and when she pro-
posed her plans for the organization
of the Suniower Refining Company
she had no trouble in disposing OF
the stock, remaining Mt the head OF
the organization as its manager.
That her own estimate of herself
was not oterrated, and that the con-
