Well is Permanent

The test of the water that is
being secured from the well on the
Ed Morris place has been satisfac-
tory in the railroad locomotives
and Wednesday evenings a deal was
consumated whereby the railroad
company purchased about an acre
of ground where the well is and
the right of way for the pipe line
to the railroad right of way. Mr..
Morris secures in the deal water
tap on his lots, just east of the
house built by w. A. Pinkham,
and has in mind the erection there
of a modern house, in which he
will be able to have complete
waterworks system. Attorney p.
j. Egan, of Rapid City, represent
ing A. X. Gardner, head counsel
for the North Western in this state
was here and closed the deal. The
purchase means much for Wasta
for it means that the railroad COM
pany will always have supply of
water here. Wasta Gazette.

H. T. Metcalf, a we'll known
resident of Murdo, is one of the
few men who have enjoyed the
novelty of reading their obituary
notices in the newspapers. Recent
ly Mr.. Metcalf found it necessary
to become patient at the Cham
berlain sanitarium and he had not
been there long when the report
was circulated at Murdo and at
other points between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, where
he was known, to the effect that
he had died. The local newspapers
and newspapers at other points
published his obituary and gave
him a nice sendoff. Now Metcalf
has appeared at Murdo alive and
well and nearly recovered from the
the operation performed upon him
at Chamberlain, which was success
ful in every way.

The Land Withdrawals

Harding county has been hit
hard blow by the recent order of
President Taft withdrawing from
entry on homestead all land for
examination for coal. The tract
withdrawn includes practically the
remaining land in the county not
now filed on, and some already
filed on, but not proved up.
Until word is received from
Washington, it is not known what
disposition will be made of the
claims of those who have filed in
good faith prior to the recent Or
der. The land office officials at
Lennon are continuing to take
proofs on such land until instruct
ed otherwise, but filings have stop
ped as most of the Lennon land
district is included in the order.
There is little coal in the south
ern part of Harding county, and
those in touch with the situation
at Camp Crook profess to believe
that the land will be again thrown
open after examination. -Yankton

River transportation

Pierre has much at stake in the
solution of the problem of river
transportation. On the navigation
of the Missouri river Pierre's fu-
ture is assured. The Missouri
Valley Transportation company is
working along practical lines to
solve the problem so. far as the
Mississippi is concerned, and will
soon have this problem solved.
What is being done to solve the
problem there can be applied here.
This company is building a new
package freight boat, representing
the result of years of study and
practical experience, and by COM
petent authorities the boat is de-
clared to be absolutely the best
type of river boat yet devised, be-
ing at once the largest, safest,
most powerful carrier ever design
ed for the Missouri and as soon as
this company start it's boats on the
Mississippi it will build boats for
the Missouri. The aim in produc-
ing this boat has been to get the
fastest package freight carrier pos
sibIe TO serve between New Orleans
and St. Louis, and when the upper
river locks are enlarged to 60 all
the way to Minneapolis. The saw
ing to shippers on q cargo of river
freight is enormous. 1t is carefully
figured out that in one trip pair
of twin barges will save shippers
the enormous sum Of $43, 500 over
the price now paid for carrying
the same amount of freight by rail
between these two points, and the
boat is capable of making 50 trips
= year, making the annual saving
to shippers 8, ,267 900.

Ought TO Get Out

Secretary Baliinger has said
more than once that he was mis-
represented in published inter-
views, and we are not disposed,
therefore, to make much of the
latest of his apparent indiscretions.
But we do not feel moved to say
that, no matter how grossly he
may have been misrepresented, 1.-THE
anti -Ballinger sentiment of the
country is q fact that has immense
political significance for the Taft
administration. Whether he is i
n arch-plotter Of evil o. the inno-
Ont victim Of conspiracy, the sec

performing a like service for the
people of this state. All it needs
is the building of modern boats
along the same line as this Missis-
sippi craft, the building of proper
landings, equipped with proper ap-
pliances for handling freight.
Give the upper Missouri a proper
boat line, managed with the same
skill railroads are run and Pierre
will come to it's own. Not only
this but every inland city will
share proportionate benefits.
The Mississippi and Missouri
are both navigable rivers. That
the traffic has been diverted to
other and more costly channels is
not strange, but that these channels
should continue to rob the'ri> er of
its natural business, is more than
passing strange. However men of
means and brains are now direct
ing their attentions toward water
transportation and the next gener-
alton will witness the rivers of the
country coming to their own. Let
not this be considered mere
dream, but put it down as one of
the practical problems of the age
and set about solving it. Then
will these two great water ways,
and many others in the country,
be bearing the burdens nature in
tended they should. Pierre Da-
kotan. -

G. w. Pope was ,lown from his
place north of Climax Wednesday
and had a sample bundle of his
oats which he raised this year.
The sample showed that oats in his
locality is going to be fine crop,
and he says that nearly all of it is
like the sample. The seed was sown
in on. ten inch plowing. Some fall
wheat four miles west of Pope is
reported to have averaged nearly
twenty three bushels per acre. -

Mr.. Tracy, did not appear and the
contest went by default. Ray Paul
son, Ed Hunt and others whose
names we did not learn, were here
as witnesses for Mrs. Jones. While
we'll pleased at the outcome, Mrs.
Jones feels that she has been put
to large useless expense. This is

ses to which the claimant may be
