The silica crossings recently placed
around the public square have proven,
so far, to be very unsatisfactory. 1t
is claimed by many that the silica is
of very poor grade, and will not
stand. From our observation, up to
the present, the stuff is actually worse
than gumbo, and at places where wag-
ons have covered the silica with dirt
the crossings are much more salts
factory. In doing public work and in
buying material for same there should
invariably be some guarantee, and if
not, there is entirely too much room
for swindle. This does not mean that
in this instance those who bought the
silica swindled, but it seems that the
people who sold it to the city fur
nished very poor grade.

he desired to compete with Sears, Doe

it is the same with us. We are not
competing with mail-order and child
labor houses, and, on the other hand,
we patronize our home merchants.
But it is just as fair for us to send
away from home for our family sup
plies as it is for the merchant to
send away for the printing.

have said some things about some
people who, so far as we knew, would
not know the Herald if they should

these very same people invariably be-

Recently new hotel was opened
in Hayti, and we did some good boost

According to the ordinances of the
City of Hayti, by which the citizens
and officials thereof are supposed to
be governed, fireworks can only be
discharged within the city limits on
July A. December % and January l.
To discharge them at any other time
is a strict violation of the law, and no
officer has right to either grant,
sanction or permit such to be done.
The ordinance makes it's own provis-
ions. Now, as we have repeatedly
asked the city council to pass an Or
dinance prohibiting the discharge of
fireworks within the fire limits of the
city at all times, and the said board
has ignored this request we now de-
mand of City Marshal Dewey and
Night Marshal Butler a strict enforce
ment of the law, and to see that the
Sunday laws of the state protect Sun

NEXT ISSUE JANUARY 5, 1911.

According to the custom which we
have established, we are again going
to take a week off during the holi-
days, and this is the last issue of the
paper for this year. We are literally
worn out--tired. and worked down
and we will have plenty to do to put
the Office in shape for the first issue
in the new year.
No one will lose by this. The miss
ing number will be made good. We
have printed four issues this month,
and in this respect all advertisers have
their value.
So far as we are able to Judge, we
have had very successful year, and
have no complaint to offer. We have
passed through many perpleXing ques-
tions, but at all times have tried to
be fair and just, giving every one the
right to his own opinion and the right
to express it. If we have made enc
mics, they are of a class that will
do us much good, and it is relief
to us to get rid of their friendship.
In passing out of the old year and
entering into the new, we have no
promises to make. The Herald will
be conducted as we think best; it
shall have our best efforts, and shall
at all times be more deserving than
the patronage it receives justifies.
We shall continue to battle for the
best interest of our state, county and
town, doing what we can in our feeble
way for the betterment of the people.

ROOSEVELT, PEACE MAKER.

Above the clamor that rises in the
European capitals when Colonel
Roosevelt visits monarchs and other
dtgnitaries there comes q note of
calmer tone, but more deeply signifi.
cant than the plsudits of the multi
tude. There are rumors, although no
one SCENE to know exactly where they
originated, that Colonel Roosevelt has
taken q deep interest in the subject Of
intern ationsl disarmament. As an
advocate Of peace we see the strenuous
American in . novel and somewhat
surprising role, but q year In the jun.
giles and q surfeit Of slaughter may
have put him into q new frame of
mind. At any rate, It is a pleasure
to speculate upon the possibilities
that lie in the popularity of Roosevelt
at foreign courts for stopping the mad
insanity of rivalry in the building of
warships that threatens the bankrupt.
cy of England, Germany and perhaps
other countries.
Colonel Roosevelt's position is
unique. He ia q private citizen, yet
he is accepted on terms of friendship
and equality by kings and emperors.
He could approach the subject of dis.
armament without q suspicion of SELF
interest or as being the envoy OF his
own or any other government. Both
Germany and England are piling up
burdens of war taxation upon their
peoples at an alarming rate. II is
true that Roosevelt has always been
a staunch advocate of the doctrine
that being EARNED to the teeth is the
surest way to avoid war;" We have
not forgotten that it was Roosevelt
who gave new impetus to the war
spirit in this country and:that he be-.
lieved in arming the very school
boys.
But Colonel Roosevelt can change
his mind. And 0what greater thing
could he do to advertise himself, win
q Nobel prize and gain an immortal
name in the chronicles of the world
than to inaugurate a successful move.

WOULD PREVENT FLOODS.
Dry Farming Methods Retain Water
In the Soil.

In the Soil.
SPOKANE, April 18.-Conserv alton
Of the moisture of the soil in the semi.
arid belt of the western part of the
United States by modern methods of
till age will avert the disastrous spring
floods in the Mississippi valley.
This theory is advanced by Prof. A.
F. Chamberlain, superintendent of the
Farmers Institute in South Dakota,
who makes the following statement in
the current issue of the Dry Farming
Congress Bulletin, published in Spo-
kane.
IF every acre of land vest of the
Missouri river we're in q good state Of
cultivation and plowed to q depth Of
not less than ten inches al least every
alternate year, the torrents in the riv.
ers leading from the mountains to the
Mississippi would be unheard Of"
The statement that most of these
floods are caused by the melting snow
OF the mountains is generally accept.
ed, yet it is q fact that snow is only
one of the contributory factors. Lit.
tie or no consider alton has been given
to the rainfall in that vast stretch of
territory west of the ninety-eighth me.
ridian, the common belief being that
the rel ono known as 1.-THE Great
Am eri can DESERT does moi receive
sufficient rain to make any appreci.
able variation in the volume of water
carried by the streams in the Missis-
sippi valley.
That this view is erroneous is proved
by q computation of the volume OF
water In an annual rainfall of 10 inch.
es. One inch of rain on an acre of
ground represents 22e, sS1 pounds, or
q, 1856 gallons, while q 1O-inch
rainfall means that the same area has
received q, 1855 $50 gallons.
The average annual rainfall in the
so.called dry belt ranges from 6 to
more than 20 inches, the precipitation
varying according to locality. There
fore a 10.inch annual rainfall, which
is considered q low estimate for the
entire region embraced in the territory
between the ninety-eighth meridian
and the continental divide in the
Rocky mountains, embracing an area
of about SO, 900, 900 acres, would give
q precipitation of IT'S, 815, 600, 900 gal.
Ions of water.
That deep blowing and systematic
cultivation will create q soil reservoir
for storing indefinitely the bulk of
the moisture which falls upon the
ground in the form of rain or snow,
and that the conservation of moisture
in the soil by these methods makes
agriculture in the semi.arid sections
of the west, where the rainfall is ex-
tremely limited, not only possible,
but profitable, is attested by thous.
ands of practical farmers who have
successfully produced crops by dry
farming methods in districts with
limited rainfall during periods rang
ing from three to 40 years..

The inspectors received 11,219 es.
trays, of which number 1875 we're paid

commissioners, while the remainder
were RENTED from the point of sale.
"The number of horses shipped out
OF the state comprised AZ, 30S, a decid-
ed increase over the previous year.
"Would recommend that shippers
of cattle endeavor to keep their ship.
ments straight at the unloading points
and when loading should sort all OF
one brand together, and the estrays
all together, as this would mater ally
aid the inspector whenlooking through
the cattle, and they should also keep
q record of the brands OF any cattle
killed en- route and report same to
the inspector as this often helps in
tracing missing cattle"
