There Is no probability that the George
Washington University authorities viii
abandon the hospital in the buildings on
H street, between Thirteenth and -Four
teenth streets northwest. and occupy
them when the old building at Fifteenth
and II streets which was recently sold
TO 8 H Woodward, is vacated
Admiral Stockton, president Of the
university, today made the above state
meut- which denies the report that the
hospital v-Ogld De abandoned because II
has proved a big financial drawback
The hospital, said President Stockton,
instead OF accommodating a yearly de-
felt OF grave proportions, as has been
reported, has, for the past few years,
met its own expenses Not since the
deficit Of six or eight years ago, asserted
Admiral Stockton, has the hospital not
paid for Itself

Astronomical Phenomenon at Custer.

On Monday, the 14th day of February,
the sun crossed the line of Custer Ave-
nue., and on that date, for the first time
this year, the sun when setting shone
on the south side of the street.
As the sun travels further north 1t
will shine on the south side of the ave-
nue. earlier each afternoon until about
June 2lst, after which as it again travels
south it will shine there for shorter
time each day until November, when it
will again cease to illume that side.
This important astronomical event
has always excited great interest among
astronomers, and has been made the
subject of much study by them. 1t is
generally accompanied by great atmo.
spherical disturbances, and on this
occa sion it was marked by severe cold
weather and high winds, which occurred
the night of the l4th and extended all
over the Black Hills.
1t appears that this phenomenon was
we'll known to the Indians at an early
date; and the old settlers Of the Black
Hills tell of the ceremonies held by
them supposedly from time immemorial,
in honor of the event. From all parts
of the country il was the custom of the
Sioux to assemble at Custer City to OBJ
serve the occasion, and dances were held
by them and other savage rites per-
formed at this time. They regarded it
as the herald of approaching spring.

Asphalt Lumber said to be Waterproof
and Fireproof.

The term "lumber" formerly was ap-
piled only to wood, hut it has now been
combined with the word asphalt to form
term so new as to be capable of copy
right.
1t means a boardlike product which,
while composed Of layers of special long
fiber felt saturated with composition
of asphalt, says Cassler's Magazine, can
be cut, worked, joined and nailed like
wood. This material, originally de-
signed for roofing, and absolutely water
and weather proof, is manufactured in q
stock size, SO inches wide and 6, 8, 10 or
IL feet long. The boards are made with
l-inch rabbit, running the full length
on either side, enabling the material to
be matched up readily and quickly,
while a special asphaltic cement applied
along the rabbited joint makes the
joints practically a part of the solid
board.
Such a material naturally has many
wider applications than those merely of
roofing construction, and it is available
in all building operations demanding a
waterproof structure, capable of resist
ing heat or cold, and unaffected by the
action of acids, gases, fumes, etc. The
material is compressed in the course Of
manufacture to such solid consistence
that it may be classed as fire retardent,
while it may be surfaced with sand
gravel or mastic, as may be ordered.
In the manufacture of asphalt board
there are used four layers of saturated
felt, three of parchmentized cellulose
aud six of cementitg composition, to
which are added two weather coats apI
piled to the outside.

Congressman Martin stopped over q
day at the Martin Valley ranch enroute
to Washington from his attendance at
conference of Stalwart republicans and
seemed to be very well satisfied with
the outcome of that meeting. Regarding
the Huron meeting he said: at was my
view from the beginning that no ticket
should be endorsed at Huron, and I
think this is pretty generally known
over the State. Now, that we have
primary law think this should be OBJ
served in method and spirit" When
questioned regarding his prob
able candidacy to succeed himself in
Congress he said: "If shall be can
didate for denomination to Congress,
which now seems probable, this will be
brought about by nominating petition
as contemplated by the primary, and in
due course / will expect to announce to
the people my position upon the public
questions before the country at this
Time"

THE OLD SUBSCRIBER,

1t is the average public to whom the
editor must make his appeal and every
editor knows that the average man il
fair, and just and appreciatiye. Each
editor has hundreds Of such on his list.
He is "The Old Subscriber" He is the
man who takes the paper through storm
and sunshine. If he sees something in
the paper he does not like, he does not
intiict capital punishment on the editor
by stopping his paper. He has ideas OF
his own, but he il willing that other
men should have theirs. If the paper
misses the mails, he takes it good hu-
moredly. If he is asked to pay his sub
scri iption, he does 30 with chuckle and
declares that he ought to have paid il
before. If he reads an opinion in his
paper with which he differs he writes
the editor letter or discusses the uues-
ton with him in a friendly way. "The
Old Subscriber"-the friend and com.
fort of the editor-the man who stands
without hitchin'-the good old standby
who pays without grumbling, differs
without quarreling, helps without esti-
nation, gives praise and criticism when
each falls due, and who is welcome in
every newspaper Office in the land,
whether he wears broadcloth or over
alls. God bless "The Old Subscriber
and may he live long and prosper.
But with all of its worries and respon-
sibilities the work of the craft is not
only agreeable but fascinating. We
have a chance to grow--to grow in wis
dom, purse and grace. We come in
contact with people of all sorts and
with big and puzzling questions of all
kinds. We are constantly on the firing
line of the worlds endeavor. We are
living in an age of marvels and we must
partake of its lofty spirit and its glorious
optimism. Messages fash through the
air without the aid Of wires; boats
swim under the water, ships iy through
the air. Philanthropy is putting mill
ions of dollars at the disposal of science
to fight disease. The generation is alert
to its. responsibilities and it's needs. It
is doing things. Civic righteousness is
growing. The bugle call has been
sounded for the welfare of men. We
are trying to stop the impoverishment
of the soil, the depletion Of the forests,
the monopoly of our water powers and
the spendthrift treatment of our natu-
raj resources. Public sentiment is full
of red blood and was never more alive.
1t Is for us in South Dakota to play the
mans part and to realize that we can
only keep step with the music of events
by that unremitting zeal which is char
acter building and equipment for life is
its own glorious and fitting reward.

EDITOR AND PUBLIC
Portion Of Address Delivered by c. II.
Day, Of the Argus-Leader,
to Members of
THE STATE PREss ASSOCIATION
At the Midwinter Meeting Held at
Sioux Falls January 9th
and 28th, 1910.

The State Is prosperous beyond the
record reached by any other State.
During the past 3 years more new land
has been put under cultivation than
during the preceding 10. For 8 years in
succession, South Dakota has produced
the largest per capita of new wealth OF
any State in the Union. Land values
have gone up with the good name of the
State. Unless all signs fail, South Da-
kota will end the next year period,
with a population of 100000 people.
Looming into early view is a school en-
dowment fund OF $4,000, 600. The indi-
vidual deposits In the banks have in
creased by SIS, 100000 since the first OF
last September and they now reach a
total Of S7S,000,OO0.
The farmers have learned the lessons
of soil culture, of heredity in the vege-
table kingdom Of diversified farming
and of crop rotation and with fat bank
accounts are able to await favorable
market. With it all has come that era
Of good feeling which is always easy
when one is content and it is safely
within the zone of careful statement to
say that in no State in the Union can
there be found more prosperous and
contented and happy people than those
who live in South Dakota.
BETTER BUSINESS METHODS.
1t is not my purpose to dwell upon
the contributions which the editors of
the State have made to South Dakota's
development. From the day of the first
final proof-sheet to present time Of well
established and influential journals, the
newspapers of the State have fought for
its good name, warned against its errors
sogar-coated its shortcomings, praised its
successes and advertised its resources.
That this loyal work for the State has
always been appreciated would be too
much to say; but that the editors are
getting their share of the benefit and
will continue to do so as the years 90
back, cannot be doubted. Especially will
this be the case If they keep pace with
the States progress. A big State must
mean big newspapers and progress in
the States development must be
accompanied by the upbuildiug of the
circulation, tone, dignity and standing
Of its newspapers.
