Hookworms and Wooden Shoes.

According to w. F. Arnold, M. d.,
late surgeon in the United States
navy, writing in the Medical Record,
the hookworm larvae, because of the
activity of their movements, a pene-
trate into any crevice of a shoe that
will admit water, and he believes it is
probable that the larvae may be able
to penetrate the crevices between sole
and upper which will not admit water.
Ordinary shoes with machine sewed
welts will not keep one immune from
the hoOkworm. The wooden sole is
necessary, he says.

Bow Killed at PIav.

Pierre.-Willie, the ~S-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. E. w. Crook, near Mid.
land, lost his life while at play along
the banks of Bad river. With a party
of little friends he was digging fossil
shells from the bank of the stream

lnterprets Game Law.

Pierre.-In response to the request
of a number of county treasurers, At
torney General Johnson has filed an
opinion, interpreting the big game law
passed last session, requiring that a
hunting license be secured from the
ems must be secured in each county
in which it is desired to hunt. This
will make it necessary for one who is
tracking game anywhere near a county
line to have licenses from two coun-
ties.

DDAkOTA MAY GET BEST LAND.
To Have First Pick in MeIIette
County.

Soosst
Gregory.--Those who have received
the high numbers in the recent land
drawing giving them a chance to Sc
lect only such lands as are left after
those who secured the lower numbers
have taken the best, are in a grumpy
humor in spite of the fact that a state
ment was issued by the secretary of
the Gregory Commercial club that the
state will be allowed to select not
more than two sections In each town
ship in Mellette county as indemnity
school land to replace the land taken
by the Indians as allotments in Sec
tions 16 and &c throughout the county.
The trouble started when some
homeseeker of an investigating turn
of mind examined the official nap OF
Mellette county closely and found that
forty-one sections of school land (sec-
lions 16 and 36) had been taken by the
Indians as allotments. In all such
cases the state under the law is allow
ed to go upon the lands in advance
OF the settlers and select the best
lands that are left, in lieu Of those Ia
ken by the Indians, thus indemnify
Ing the state school fund.
In this case it will be necessary for
the state to select forty-one sections,
as that is the amount of school land
that has been taken by the Indians
at allotments.
And the fact that there are only
about thirty sections of unalloted land
in the county which were classified by
the governments appraisers as A No.
l is the cause of the present lively
discussion, as it appears to a great
many of the homesteaders that there
will not be enough of the best lands
to indemnify the state, to say nothing
of leaving any of it for the home
steaders.

To Select Indemnity Lands,

Pierre.-Messrs. Jacobsen and
Glassner, field officers of the land de-
partment, have gone to the Pine Ridge
reservation to select indemnity lands
for the state in lieu of school lands
selected by Indians for their allot-
ments. Commissioner Brinker antici-
pates that the state will have great
difficulty in securing proper lieu lands
in Bennett and Mellette counties,
probably making it necessary to go
over into Washabaugh and Shannon
to secure them. The agents will be
gone about six weeks.

DOG HIS CHUM
ON CANOE TRIP
Baltimore Boy Paddles From
Philadelphia to Baltimore
in One Weeks Time

Braving the waters of the Delaware
River, Chesapeake Bay in his 12-foot
canvas-covered Agawam. Paul c. Pitt
has arrived in Baltimore from Phil
delphia. Mr.. Pitt made the trip I'm his
boat from the quaker City in Just a
week and his only companion on the
voyage was Jack, his pet rat terrier
dog
Mr.. Pitt, who is a painter, worked
last winter In Philadelphia, and dur
ing his spare time built the craft in
which he journeyed 10 Baltimore. The
boat is l2 feet 9 inches long and 30
inches wide, and while the frame is
constructed of wood, It is covered
with canvas Il is decked over at the
bow and stern, leaving a five-foot open
ing. just large enough to accommodate
the occupant of the boat. Mr.. Pitt
equipped the boat with a sail in order
that better time could be made. AS
work was a little slack, Mr.. Pitt left
Philadelphia Tuesday afternoon, July
1S, and sailed down the Delaware
River. the first stopping place being
Chester Mr.. Pitt carried with him
a few cooking utensils. and during
the trip prepared all his meals at the
various stopping places. The weather
was very good during the entire trip.
with one exception. At Perryville last
Monday Mr.. Pitt was compelled to de-
lay his trip for half a day, owing TO
rough water. He Travelled down the
Delaware River. through the canal
and followed the same route taken by
excursion boats plying between Bal
timore and Philadelphia. At night
Mr.. Pitt lifted his boat out Of the
water and after placing Il In a safe
distance from the bank on account OF
the tide. made his bunk IN the bottom
of the craft,
The only difficulty encountered by
Mr. Pitt on the trip was in passing
through the canal locks. At st.
Georges, and Chesapeake City, Mr..
Pitt found that Il would cost him
50 to sail his boat through the locks
at each place. Feeling that he should
not be charged the same price as that
for larger boats. Mr.. Pitt refused to
pay the money. He was informed by
the keeper of the locks that he could
not go through unless he did pay that
amount. without waiting to argue
the question Mr.. Pitt quietly should
cred his craft and walking around
the locks placed the boat in the water
on the other side, much to the aston
ishment of the lock keeper.

R. 7. C. GETS
COST BACK SOON

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Aug 1.-Horseman
and farmers who own good road
horses and promising colts througout
central Delaware are talking every
day about the performances of R. T. c.
the Delaware horse now owned by
Tom Murphy, the horse having won
$4,000 in racing money during the
past week. No such an incentive has
ever been known as r. T. c. for TAX
ing care of the promising young
horses and breeding better stock. The
history of the horse, though we'll
known here, is on everybody's tongue,
that he is seven years old, that only
a short time ago he was a farm horse
for his owner. the Cochrans of Middle
town. that he was purchased by W. II.
Biggs, the expert horse trainer and by
him offered TO K. T. Wallace of VIII
mington for S400. Mr.. Murphy, the
present owner, bought r. T. c. for
about S3,500, and made six times that
much on the horse last week.
