 Be that as it may, Brumbaugh clin- ches his story beyond fear of successful contradiction by stating that they started out bright and early the next morning, and they knew at once, upon sticking their noses into the atmos- phere that it was much warmer. Oh, yes, very much warmer.
 They pulled off their parkas, threw their caps on the sled and got down to their suspenders for the exertion made it much too warm for heavy clothing. Large globules of precipitation trickled from their heated brows, Kellogg swore that he could smell signs of spring and even the breath of the dogs came in short pants.
 You know how raise of twenty or thirty degrees will make you feel. How balmy all nature seems, and how you just naturally know she is about to en- fold you in a sweet-breathed caress.
 Well, that's the way it was with Brumbaugh and Kellogg. They loitered along the trail, and Ed, who is great flower-f fancier and an authority on lil-

When Ray Brumbaugh and Ed Kel- logg were driving up from Georgetown to South Fork on George river about two weeks ago they thought the wealth CT was somewhat indictment, in fact, as they mushed along the trail behind a fast dog team, Ed was heard to remark to Ray that Its damned cold today"
 A blue, smokey haze hung over the landscape, whole droves of ice-worms scampered out of the trail ahead of the dogs, while the trees hugged their furs about them and the glaciers crackled in tiendish glee.
 In moment of careless relaxation of vigilance, Brum baugh was bitten on the ankle by large, blue-headed ice worm. While the reptile hung and rattled, Kellogg dived recklessly into the pack for the bottle of snake bite which they always carry for emergen- cies, only to find that the liquid was frozen to a solid.
 There was nothing to d. but feed the stuff to Brumbaugh in cubes This was l accordingly done. After eating enough to fill a small refrigerator, Ray de- clared that he could feel thrill of life along his keel and the party proceeded on it's way, arriving at the South Fork roadhouse just as the shades of night began to lay down blanke ts for noctur- nal slumber.
 Now when whiskey freezes in transit you might as well acknowledge with out further argument that it is some cold. There are those who will declare and keep on declaring till the COWS come home that even potatoes won't freeze as long as you keep the sled in motion.
 But remember, this was cold day. And just to convince you, it might as well be related here that the travellers made test when they reached the roadhouse that will make the most dubious admit the justice of their claims.
 They found bottle of Perry Davis Pain-Killer in the house and put it out on stump. In an hour it was frozen solid
 When Brumbaugh was telling this story, man in the audience remarked that pain-killer would freeze at P be- low and not before, Nobody else seemed to know 50 we let Ter go as she laid, but since that time, a poisonous doubt has been installed in our mind by the careless remark of another individual l who said that pain-killer will freeze at

state which his predecessors had lost
track of, overlooked and lost. This
title experience had whetted the
commissioners appetlt. for bigger
game, and so he prepared himself
carefully and went after this three
million dollar deal on behalf OF
South Dakota with the results as
stated above.

Dokken. commissioner Of school and

South Dakota after several days hard
work in the Nations Capital. When
seen on their way to the train, they
had a broad smile on their faces and
a merry twinkle in their eyes, indi-
eating that the important mission
which had brought them here had
eliminated in a complete success. In
deed. this proved to be the case, for
Mr.. Dokken carried away with him
a written agreement between the
state and Clifford Pinchot, Chief of
the Forest Service, granting to the
state of South Dakota title to over
10000 acres of the best lands in the
Black Hills Forest Reserve, the cash
value of which is estimated at several
million dollars.
The people of South Dakota will
for all time to come be indebted to
Commissioner Dokken and Attorney
General Clark and the whole Wesley
administration for the successful out

picked business transaction. so far
reaching in its beneficial result to the
state. In Montana several state adj
ministrations grappled with identi-
.cally the same kind of a case and lost
out, or, rather, dropped It as hope
less, a heavy loss to Montana.
In sections 10 and II Of the enabl-
ing act, providing for the division OF
Dakota territory into two states, It
is specifically stated that sections 165
and sc in every township in the pro-
posed state Of South Dakota are
granted to the state for the support
of the common schools. and that all
such lands shall not be subject to
preemption, homestead entry. or
any other entry under the land laws
