NEW YORK. May 2S.-That the United

SEED CORN SELECTION DAYS.
A Proclamation by the Governor OF
South Dakota.

Executive Chambers, Pierre, s. D.,
Aug. 22.-Thus far the season of
1910, throughout the central and
western states, has been one of x
ceptional drouth, in consequence Of
which the hay crop, together with
that of the various small grains will,
in those states, be quite materially
shortened.
AS year follows year we realize
more and more that South Dakota
lies well within the corr belt and
that the corn crop is one Of her
most valuable resources. The good
year 1909 gave US a greater yield Of
corn than we have ever had before
in the history Of the state, and dur
ing the present year corn has thrived
and undoubtedly will be the most
substantial crop of the season.
I am convinced that the careful
following of modern scientific meth
DDS will secure for us in the coming
year a magnificent corn yield, far
surprising that of any previous
year. The first essential of success
in corn culture is, Of course, the Sc
lection Of good seed. and, realizing
the Importance of securing seed be-
fore the coming Of frost, I hereby
proclaim September 9 and 10. A. d.,
1910, as SEED CORN SELECTION
DAYS and would urgently request
that all of II farmers go into their
corn fields on these days and care
fully and judiciously select the best
ears for seed for the coming year,
BY so doing the corn crop for the
succeeding year will be materially in.
creased.
In testimony whereof, ! have here
unto set my hand caused to be at
fixed the great seal of the state Of
South Dakota.
Done at the capitol in Pierre, this
goth day of August, A. d., 1910.

RAILROAD RATE FIGHT
TURNS OUT A IIZZLE.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Increased rail-
read rates west of Chicago that will
add many millions to the emf of
the railroads at the expense Of the
consuming public in western states
but with favors to Chicago, this is
the program said to be accepted by
the controlling factors of the Ship
pers' committee which is ostensibly
fighting the rate increase. BY agree
ment which will benent rates to Chi
cago but add to the cost of goods dis
tributed from Chicago the great
demonstration against railroad rate
advance has been quietly hushed Up,
this is accepted now as the situation.
Western jobbing and shipping inter-
ests seem likely to find their guns
spiked when they are ready for bat
tie. When the Chicago Association
Oh Commerce took over the Traffic
Club it was agreed that the control
Of railroad traffic affairs of the AS
ISOLATION should be retained by GER
tain large importing and merchan-
dining interests which had main
tanned the Traffic Club before.
Therefore when the shippers declared
war en- the rate advance and Joined
fsFses with the Chicago forces the
coatrol of the whole situation by
railroad influences became possible.
Presently the loud outcries against
rate advances were hushed and now
the outcome is thought to be so well

years who gave birth to and reared
a family of ten, and still spends most
of her time riding up and down the
Mississippi on her sons boat.
In a novel, "The Captain of the
Amaryllis," this Stoughton Cooley.
son of Captain stoughton Cooley. has
added practically the first fresh chap
tiers about the river to those written
years ago by Mark Twain. He has
told the story of river mems lives
with fidelity in a romance.
The Cooleys seemed to take to the
water like the proverbial ducks.
Stoughton Cooley, Sr.. vas scarcely
twenty-three when in 1S45 he en-
barked in a small flatboat on the
Ohio river, taking with him his
young wife and infant son, together
with a cargo of carriages that he had
made. He was a fine workman and
might have achieved the fortune of
the Studebakers had he continued at
his trade; but he no sooner had a
small stock on hand than he loaded
them on a boat and hoated down the
river to sell them. And never again
was he free from the ~wanderlust;
never could he stop his ears to the
call of the river. Flatboating in
those days was an important branch
of industry, and many people spent
their lives in floating south on the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers with
produce, selling the boat for lum-
Der at the end of the trip and re-
turning north by steamboat.
But as the steamboats, multiplied
~flatboating fell off. Besides, this
Cooley was one of the ~f1atboatmen
who made enough out of his sixteen
f1atboats to buy a small steamboat.
He did not acquire a fortune, but he
did manage to make a living, and he
followed the bent of his nature. One
of the striking things about him was
that his intense love of family
prompted him to make his home
aboard. And though his wife pre-
scented him with ten children, five Of
whom grew up, she spent nearly as
much time on the river as he did.
When he f1atboated the young wife
presided over his little cabin parti-
toned off from the freight room,
cooking for the little crew and nurs-
ing her babies with as much uncon-
Germ as any mother ashore. And
when the business ]prospered and the
1atboat was replaced by the steam
boat, still the wife and mother fol-
lowed her husband up and down the
great river. 1t was but natural that
as the children grew up they should
fall into place in manning the boar
as pilots, engineers, clerks, captains,
SO that when the father retired the
sons continued the. business. Now
one of them has written the romance
of it as it is.

WOMAN SUICIDES AT MURDO.
Nurdo, Aug. IA young wo-
man was found lying on the floor OF
her bed chamber with her throat cut
Monday morning. She had been
milking the COWS and had just strain
ed the milk, telling her husband to
90 out to the root cellar to get some
vegetables for the morning meal.
This was about 6 o'clock.
When the husband returned to the

found her upstairs in her room as
told above.
The woman was Mary Holden,
wife of John Holden, who resides
four miles west of here on a claim
which he had proved on three years
ago. The couple had seemed to be
very much devoted to each other.
Mrs. Holden was possessed of an IN

the news of her rash act was a shock.
She came here as Mary Rosenberg

CITY OF WALLACE
HAS NOTABLE HISTORY.
Occur d'Alene Metropolis Has Been
the Scene of Thrilling
Events.

The city of Wallace is the center
of the great Occur d'A}ene mining
district. There are no mines in it's
immediate vicinity, but the great
producers which have made the reg
ion famous are situated in canyons
which radiate from the city. To the
north is Canyon creek, along which
are the towns of Mace. Gem ana
Burke, which were wrecked by snow
slides last spring. To the east is
Mullan with its group of mines.
Westward are Kellogg and Ward
ner. All these are mining towns
which constitute the group of pros
porous mining communities whose
business interests have found their
center and clearing house in Wal
lace.
The city had a peculiar site. 1t
was built in a cup-shaped basin,
closely hemmed in by wooded noun
tain walls, whose only breaks are
the narrow canyons which lead up to
the mines and their settlements.
Wallace long ago outgrew the mar
row confines of a little basin and the
houses began to creep up the hill
sides all around. The diminutive
valley filled as closely as houses
could be built. was the home Of e.
900 people. It's financial and COM
mercial interests were unusually
strong for a city of it's size on &C
count of the vast amount of bust
ness which was cleared through its
institutions. Here was the head
quarters of the Federal Mining com.
pany and the allied companies. The
furnishing of supplies to the great
companies which operate in the dis.
trict had built up a mercantile bust.

small. Wallace was one of the most
prosperous cities of the western min
