Both missionaries were bound

hours while the savages took the
native captives inland.
The cannibals then returned to
the beach and carried the mis-
sionaries on litter to the crater Of
the extinct volcano Van Iue, in the
center of the island. There for two
days and nights they held cor.
roboree. At times their dancing
and revelry could be seen plainly by
the fugitive Christian natives.

1t will be remembered that about two
years ago the postal department issued
an order to the effect that newspaper
subscriptions must be paid up to within
one year, otherwise the publishers would
be compelled to pay an increased rate of
postage. Word now comes that this
order is to he strictly enforced with all
publications, and inspectors are being
sent out to examine the subscription
books of newspapers to ascertain just
how each subscriber stands with his
publisher. The CHRONICLE has never
made a practice of dunning its deln-
Suents through the news columns, but
in view of this new order of things it
seems necessary to call the attention of
delinquents to the fact that If the paper

The moral is that subscribers should get
move on at once and place themselves
in good standing with the printer, and
thereby avoid any unpleasant complica-
tians between the printer, the subscriber
and the postal department.

New Packing Plant Starts Business

Business started at the new Rapid City
packing plant Monday, with the slaugh-
tering of part of carload of hogs fur
nished by Ed. Stenger. The animals
were in fine condition and averaged $50
pounds each when dressed off. The
event of starting business was made a
reception aud many business men were
on hand to see how slaughtering under
scientific principles is carried on.
While all of the machinery necessary
to the complete equipment Of the plant
is not yet in place enough is in order to
make it possible to carry on business
The company has on hand bunch of
fine steers and these will be slaughtered
within few days. Orders for the prod
ucts of the new industry are beginning
to come in and within few days the
plant will be running smoothly and in a
position to supply all demands for its
output.-Rapid City Journal.

Homestake Resumes Operations.

Ore is once more being mined in the
H0mestake workings. After more than
six weeks of inactivity the greatest
gold mine in the world" is in operation.
AID day long hundreds of men have been
busy far below the surface, getting out
the rock that later in the week, find it's
wag beneath the stamps of the Anxious.
Several hundred drills were sent down
with the men and the ore is being ripped
loose so rapidly it is now stated on good
authority that all the ore needed to keep
the Anxious stamps pounding continu-
ouSy will be ready by Thursday at the
latest. The Anxious bins were filled be-
fore the shutdown and the men below
are seeing to it that the supply required
to get the wheels turning on top will
be ready in record-breaking time. Most
of the mining is being done on the 800
and 900 levels, but prospects for rapidly
extending operations are declared to be
excellent and it now appears that before
many days, all the stamps will be drop
ping, making the complete resumption
of Homestake activities.
More dinner pals were seen on Mill
street this morning than for many a
day, and the men who were carrying
them seemed conscious of the fact that
they were the forerunners of return
ing prosperity for Lead and vicinity, for
they swung along with strides that were
bouyant, business-like, as they made
their way toward the Star hoist.-Lead

Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
ir his annual report just made to the
President.
"To satisfy myself on the ground as to
the facts, ! made personal Investigation
of these matters during the past summer
in the States of Idaho and Wyoming.
Presumably the time will come when
some portions of the present Forests
can with benefit to the community be
converted into farms. Through dry
farming, plant breeding, and the intro
duction OF new forms of useful and
drought-enduring vegetation, agricul-
ture is steadily gaining upon the desert,
and may be expected to gain on the for
est in semi-arid regions. Growth in
population also will bring an increasing
demand for timber and water conserva-
ton. The present is not the time to de-
eide where the line should finally be
drawn.

ment land now demanded for agricul-
ture. AS to grazing land, it is sufficient
to say that proper administrative con-
troll of National Forest grazing has nee
essitated the fixing of the boundaries
where they now are, that public senti-
ment in the States visited is strongly in
favor of the maintenance of the existing
boundaries, and that representations
that great areas of land are held for
other than Forest purposes are in my
judgment wide of the facts"
When tracts of land suitable for agri-
culture are found scattered in the Ma
tional Forests, they are always, con-
trary to the belief of many, opened to
settlement under the Act of June llth,
1906, and the Secretary says in his re.
port that nearly 1900 homesteads, with
total area of 100000 acres, were listed
during the last fiscal year.

The winter of 1909-l9l0 will pass into
history as one of the most severe ever
experienced in this region, possibly bar
ring the winter of 1885, when stockmen
suffered the loss of so per cent or more
of the total number of range cattle.
The present winter has been bad one
up to date, although it is predicted that
range stock will come through in pretty
fair shape providing there is let-up of
the long cold spell within short time.
Sheepmen have suffered the greatest
losses SO far, REPORTS showing that be-
tween the cold weather and foot disease
the animals are dying by hundreds.
