Coal Shortage

Mitchell, Jan. 1.-The country west
of Mitchell is short of coal. At
Plankinton, Mount Vernon. Oacoma,
Vivian. Presho and Draper there is
not coal to last more than a week,
and it is being given out in small
quantities. Mitchell dealers who
have a line of yards out that way
have from rs to 100 cars of coal each
on the way from the east, but can
receive no assurance from the rail-
roads when it can be delivered.
The fuel situation in Mitchell is
embarrassing. The electric light
plant, which has been short of coal
for three weeks and has had to de-
pend upon the local supply. This
has run short and the company has
been forced to shut down on the day
service to save its fuel for furnish
ing lights at night. The company
has seven cars on the way, but in
three weeks they have been moved
only fifty miles by the railroads.

Miller in 1910
en-.

AS we pause on the threshold of a
new year, it is but natural to take a
retrospective view of the year just
past, with the many advantages
which it brought. The year of 1905
was the most prosperous in the
history of Miller. More new build.
ings were erected than ever before,
and more money expended on i'm.
provements. But heading the list
of advantages which the past year
brought to the city Of Miller, is the
new Commercial Club.
Although 1909 brought so many
improvements to the city they were
entirely of a private nature. because
there was no organized body to
boost for public enterprises. But
at the close of the next twelve
months the results will be very
noticeable Prominent among the
measures on foot for 1910 are move
ments for an educational institution,
a factory or two, better roads lead
ing into Miller, and more railroad
advantages.
1t is expected that the close OF
this present year will see a new
$50, 900 school building standing on
the site of the old buildings. The
few remaining vacant lots around
the city will be covered with fine
residences, and the new additions
ali filled in with streets and houses,
During the past year about forty
residences were erected in Miller,
and the number promises to be sur
passed in 1910.
In the railroad world there prom,
ises to be great activity. The c. &
N. w. tension across the north
end of the county will bring in new
settlers, raise the value of real
estate, and interest other roads in
this terr;tery. Il. fact it is authori.
lively stated hat the M. & st. l.,
will iron the old Aberdeen Pierre
grade which they purchased last
year. With a live Commercial Club
back Of her. MINER ought to secure
many of the advantages attendant
on this nearby railroad building.

A regular storm period is central

tons will continue from the new

CROP A
LIVING THING
Salient Hints For Progressive
Farmers By J. J. Hill

"CultiVate only as much land as
can be titled so thoroughly that il
will produce to its highest capacity.
Study first the conservation of the
soil. Aim, even before trying to
secure a big crop return, to leave
the ground each season better fitted
for production than 1t was before.
This can be done by proper rotation
OF crops, by fertilization where land
has been partially exhausted, and,
best Of all, by keeping some live.
stock on every tract, no matter how
small, and restoring every particle
Of manure 10 the soil
Adapt both the crop to be raised
and the method Of cultivation to the
nature Of the soil. This is just as
important as it is that a corporation
shoulu not try to'make high grade
steel out Of ores containing an ex-
cess Of phosphorus. An agricultur-
al chemist car give directions and
should always be consulted. There
is at least one IN every. state whose
services are at the command Of the
people through the agricultural
schools. A sick soil may present as
critical a case as a sick man.
Select all seed with the utmost
care. The difference between using
the best quality Of grain for seed and
planting an inferior sort may be,
and usually IS, the difference be-
tween getting d first class yield and
one barely worth harvesting. In
farming; the law Of heredlty is in
flexible Cattle for breeding and
grain for planting should be chosen
as intelligently as an investment into
which a mans whole future is put.
Finally, every crop must be treat
ed like what it is-a living thing,
sensitive to comfort and hardship,
and returning TO the cultiyator a
Weld measured by the kind and
quantity Of care bestowed upon it,
from the time of planting to the
day Of harvesting.

STORM STRIKES
CATTLE COUNTRY
Low Temperature and Severe
Snow Storm on the Range

The new year was welcomed in
with another snow storm and drop
in temperature. from the Rocky
Mts to the Atlantic coast. The
storm reached its climax Tuesday IN
the western part of this state out on
the range country, but the only
effects felt in this immediate vicini-
ty were a fresh snowfall and lower
temperature. Reports from the
western part of the state, however,
are considerably different as will be
seen from the following dispatch
from Aberdeen.
aberdeen, Jan. by far the
most severe wind and snow storm in
South Dakota within the past ten
years, early this morning, struck the
central part of the state and towns
alongthe Missouri river.
Assisting the snow and wind in
making the storm severe, low tenn
peratures prevail everywhere. Re-
ports from LeBeaT state hat last
evening and early this morning the
government thermometer registered
80 degrees below zero
Highest anxiety exists in the
minds of the large cattle mer of the
river country because it is feared if
the storm and cold weather contin-
ues much longer or grows more
severe that untold damage will be
done to the cattle on the ranges.
LeBeau is the seat of the storm,
so far as car be learned. Reports
passing through the city today say
that everything is tied up and con-
ditions so far as communication
with the outside world is concerned,
are as bad as during the snow storm
of January IL, 1888.

FIVE INJURIES
TOi! of Train Wreck OF Milwau-

Aberdeen, Jan. -Four killed
and five injured was the toll taken
at a wreck four miles west of Ros.
coe last evening at 6:l5 when a work
train headed east and an extra west
collided head-on.
Four Bulgarian workmen on the
work train were killed and five more
more or less injured.
The crews of both engines escaped

jumping into the..heavy SHOWS which
lined the tracks.
Neither train had the right of way
but each had been warned to look
out for the other.
Both engines were throwing up
considerable snow, engine 2l30 being
equipped with a snow plow, and be-
ing but shortly after dusk their head
lights were obscured till they were
unable to see each other till too late
and a crash wa inevitable.

Other Interesting School

Regular Monthly Business Meet.
ing of Commercial Club
Proposition Submitted For an
Academy By Adventists

The Miller Commercial Club held
its first business meeting at its COM
Portable club rooms Tuesday night.
The meeting was largely attended,
and members manifested a great
deal of interest in its affairs.
All of the club furniture is now in
the rooms and members and stran-
gers express agreeable surprise and
pleasure in it's beauty and use
fitness.
Under the by laws, this was the
first annual meeting, and officers
for the ensuing year were selected

ors selected were, John Pusey, J T..
McCullen, H. j. BushfieId, E. H.

A committee representing the
Seventh Day Adventists of the state
called upon the club, in the interest
of a new location for an academy.
The deleation consisted of Elder
Watson, of Sioux Falls, Mr. Chris
Hanson, of Huron, Mr. Tucker, of
Elk Point, and Mr. Markle, of Glen
ham, selected by the conference of
this church to secure a central loca-
ton for their school.
The Elder addressed the club IN a
pleasing manner, explaining the
purpose of his committee to be to
select a more central location for
their state school than Elk Point,
It's present location, where they
have about 80 students. They have
a Recommending plant, a canning
plant. and expect to establish car
pentering and agriculture. They
have English and German depart
ments. and their course goes to the
18th grade.
Rev. Watson stated that they
wanted land near a good town on
which they would erect a plant to
cost $25 900, for two dormitories
and recitation hall, and that they
received offers from other towns.
He urged the Commercial Club to
investigate similar schools in Neb-
raska. Colorado and Washington,
and gracefully thanked the club for
its c~ourtesies to their delegation.
No action was taken except a
motion to appoint a committee for
investigation and a future report.
The Club then voted upon the an
plications of several new members
and enjoyed a lively discussion over
rules bylaws, etc.
If this largely attended and inter-
esting meeting can be repeated once
a month, there will be things doing
in the best town in South Dakota.
