The First School House

Vermillion-A longtime controversy
has been settled pertaining to the first
school house in South Dakota. Bon
Homme and Vermillion have each
cleaned the honor, but it is now
agreed that a school building was
erected at Bon Homme in May, 1880,
and that the Vermillion building was
not erected until the autumn of 1894.
Vermillion now comedies the claims
of Bon Hommeites to having erected
the first building in which a single
term of school was taught. Bon HON.
me comedies to Vermillion the first
permanent school. Bon Homme, how
ever, has enlarged its horizon and
now claims her school was the first
in the great Northwest embracing the
Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Ida
ho. Vermillion last year dedicated a
fine monument marking the site OF
the school there and at tie end OF
August Bon Homme will unvell a
monument to permanently mark the
site of the first school.

0 A GOLD FIND
Ore Found in Well Near WiImot Mas
Metallic Zinc

Sisseton-Many OF the farmers in
the vicinity of Wilmot were stirred up
recently by the discovery of certa n
metal in a well on the Hans Janse 4
farm on Big Stone lake. The me a
was at first reported to be gold, and
a great many of the residents in the
immediate neighborhood began a hunt
on their own premises.
A sample was sent to the chemistry
department of the state school OF
mines at Rapid City, where a careful
analysis was made by the director,
Professor NJ. F. Coolbaugh. His re-
port states that the samples are metal
lie zinc, having also small quantities
of lead, arsenic and iron. He further
states that he is at a loss to know
how such a sample could be found in
drilling a we'll since, it occurs
in that form. There is no authentic
proof that metallic zinc has ever been
found, and the facts in this case give
room for much study and speculation.

LOOKING BETTER
-atest Crop Reports Indicate Condi-
tons Greatly improved

uOHS STedtif improved
stitchell-Latest crop reports from
eleven counties in the central part of
the state, and given out through the
Investigations of bankers in the coun-
ties, indicate that the situation Is
much better than was ant .cipated
earlier in the season. Reports were
received from Aurora, Brule, Dawson,
Douglas, Hanson, Hutchinson, Jer-
aul, Lyman, McCook, Minner and
Sanborn.
The harvest has been completed In
practically all of these counties and
the rains which have come in the past
two weeks have materially increased
the proportion Of yield on wheat and
corn, the latter grain having had the
benefit of the greater amount of rain
fall in the past ten days when it vas
of little benefit to the wheat.
The yield of wheat will fall a little
below the average of last year, al
though the higher price will yield the
farmer perhaps a heavier income from
that grain alone. The oats crop shows
a greater falling off than wheat.
In Aurora, Brule, Douglas, Sanborn.
McCook and Miner counties the wheat
crop was expected to turn out an aver
age crop, running from Is to 50 per
cent of the yield of 1909, while in
Hutchinson it was expected to make
a yield of 125 of the 1909 crop. Lyman
and Jerauld counties reported the
wheat very thin, and ranging from 81
to 66 per cent of a crop. These latter
two counties state that the corn is
not quite so far advanced as in 1909,
but with rains at the present time it
will show a big increase.
Throughout this section in Aurora,
Brule, Dawson, Douglas Hanson,
Hutchinson, Miner and Sanborn the
corn crop is excellent as a general
proposition, not One of the counties
reporting anything particularly back
ward on the crop. In practically all
OF the counties the ears have COM
menced to form, and they indicate a
good development of the ear even at
this period. Notwithstanding the fact
that the seed in the spring was sup
posedly poor the crop throughout this
section shows that it has developed
much better than was anticipated. It
is the general opinion gathered from
nine of the eleven counties that the
corn crop is going to be better than
that of 1909.

Keen, alert and p~urposeful, Miss
Adams took the helm and directed
smoothly the routine of the busiest

Miss Adams stepped in as acting

Miss Adams has a way of not an

Miss Adams lodged was the one:
How does it feel to be chief of DO

of wool, representing the seasons
clip from portions of Dakota, Mon
tana and Wyoming, has just been dis
posed of to a Boston firm, j. Koshland
& Co., the price paid is said to be 20
cents a pound. This is a higher figure
that was anticipated earlier in the
season and was the result of negotia-
tons by the Tri-State Wool Growers
association, with whom the different
sheepmen pooled their interests. The
clip represents the wool from thi tv
individual sheepmen, and was sold by
bid, delivery at once. This is the
highest figure obtained this season
and is from three to four cents high

Was World Beaten in Cattle

Belle Fourche-It is said that with
the proposed closing out of the cat
tie holdings of the WV ranch north
of here, the last of the large cattle
outfits that a few years ago were so
numerous in this country, local rail-
road officers profess to see the loss
of title for Belle Fourche as the larg-
est single cattle shipping point in the
world. For nearly a decade this town
has enjoyed this honor. Shipments
will be unusually large this year as the
drought is forcing all cattle owne 8
to ship out every available head o.
stock rather than to try to get through
the winter without hay or grazing
Many of the smaller owners plan to
go out of the business this fall 10
the same reason, and it is thought
that future shipments after this year
will not be heavy.
