HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The close of the year marks the
end of a period which has been n
of mixed financial depression and
prosperity, the latter as far as this
district is concerned, predominating.
The opening of the year 1911 is fill
ed with promises for one of the best
a the entire country has ever ex-
perienced. And with a flood of pros
perity over the land there is no doubt
of this district getting its due.
With the moneyed men of the
east the question of financial pros
perity apparently hinges on the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
court in the cases of the Tobacco and
Oil Trusts. That is a matter which
should be decided sometime this
month. We can depend upon the
highest tribunal in the land handling
the matter with justice and fairness,
and whatever the result may be the
after effect will without doubt be
beneficial. If it be the decision of
the court that the two monopolies
are in existence in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law. the dissolu-
ton of the trusts will follow, and
they must arrange their affairs upon
different lines. Once the question
has been decided then the people as
we'll as the financiers will know
where they stand, and will know ex-
actly upon what lines to proceed. So.
whichever way the decision goes, it
Is going to make a better standing
for the men of means throughout the
country, and will stimulate the
building up of industries.
The crops of last year have put
the farmers into the best of good
humor, and have swelled their bank
accounts to a marked degree; for
crops were greater than in many
years past.
The immense amount of dividends
which are being paid out and which
will continue to be paid out during
the present month, all owe the
country mean that there are mil
lions and millions of dollars which
will soon be seeking investment in
all channels, and that is good for all
industrials as well as mining yer
lures.
In this district there seems to be
a general impression that there will
not be a marked change until some
definite plan of action is outlined by
the Cole Ryan syndicate with regard
to the Giroux Consolidated. This is
not right, for where there is pros

A story has been going the
rounds of the local press with refe-
renee to the mysterious disappear
ance of one Fred COLLEEN, who lived
near Top Bar, and came across the
Cheyenne river into Ziebach corn-
ty TO get bunch Of range horses
which he had purchased, and from
that time on ne had.not bsen seen
or heard from. A short time ago
his parents learned that his horses
were scattered and apparently no
one was looking after them. Sew
eral of his saddle horses were also
ranging along the Cheyenne river
and this led to the belief that he
had either met with foul play or
had been accidentally killed. A
searching party headed by Mr..
Collen's brother-in-law were ready
to start out and make thorough
search for the body, when he re-
appeared. He had gone to Sturgis
to have his eyes treated and was
compelled to remain at that place
considerably longer than he had
expected when he left camp. Not
thinking his relatives would be I'M
easy about him he did not write as
to his whereabouts.

For the first time in the annals

OLD FISH TRAP DESTROYED
:.1issouri Continuance That Dates
Away Back From Time Of
the Indians.

Emmett C. Higgins and Otto
Witt, game wardens, destroyed with
dynamite the fish trap on the Chair
ton river. It had been in use for
many years and was netting its own
er from $4,000 to $500 a year.
Ben Clark, the owner of the place,
protested that he had purchased the
trap along with the farm and that
the fishing rights had been handed
down for years to the owners of the
farm.
He declared that he could not be
deprived of them by law There
were many farmers waiting around
the trap for supply of fish, for
which they paid four cents a pound.
The fish usually caught in the trap
were buffalo, cat, carp and croppy,
weighing from one to fifty pounds.
Catfish weighing 100 pounds have
frequently been caught in the old
trap.
The trap was a curious invention.
consisting of heavy timbers placed
midway of the stone dam. Fish
coming down stream would float
into it. The catch for day would
frequently fill an ordinary farm
wagon. It is said that the dam and
trap were originally built by the In
dams. The owners have cleared
more money from the sale of fish
than from the produce of the farms.
Frequent complaints have been made
made of this method Of catching
fish, but until a few days ago no
action was taken.-Kansas City

Shorty McCabe.

Have YOU made the acqualnt-
ance Of the latest hit in American
humor, Sewell Ford's Shorty Nc
Cabe" and "Torclly" stories? If
not, you are missing a heap of fun.
Thousands of men buy the Sunday
issue OF the Chicago-Record Her
aid just for the laughs they get out
OF this one famous feature, or ratt-
er, these two alternating features,
for Shorty and Torchy are now ap-
pearing On alternate Sundays. One
is as funny as the other.
Sewell Ford is a humorist, the
real thing, and he beats George
Ade and Mr.. Dooley in the art OF
telling a good story. 1t is a gen
uinc story every time, with d hi
lariously funny plot and with char
acters that are alive and kicking.
Shorty McCabe and lis better
half, Sadie, with their laughablc
adventures in New York society,
can be found and enjoyed in the
Sunday Magazine of the. Record
Herald, whose editor has the honor
OF having discovered Scwcll Ford s
powers as humorist. The same
is true OF Torchy, the red-headed
office boy Of merry fame. This
unique magazine is filled with good
fiction and timely articles every
Sunday, but nothing seems able tC
overshadow the perennial interest
of the Shorty and Torchy yarns
which appear in every Issue through
out the year. Wherever you &C
you hear people talking and laugh
ing over them. 1t begins to be {
question whether Shorty McCabe
is not the most popular person il

~THE CITY BEAUTIFUL

An extract from the KEY West
Morning Journal we take pleasure in
reproducing, as II is suitable for this
city as well The article touches on
a subject that should be close 10 the
heart OF every citizen in this city, and
we ask that you read II, and then get
TO work as suggested:
a city Is always as good as il
looks; seldom any better. ! beautiful
city is almost synonymous for q pros
porous city, and for that reason citi-
zens OF Key West should exert them
selves 10 see that this city does not
rank second 10 any in the state in
this respect The Ladies Civic AssO-
citation proposes 10 see the owners of
ali vacant lots in the city and obtain
permission 10 beautify them and make
them attractive enough 10 draw the
public 10 them. This Is a good move.
but il seems 10 Us that property own
ers would have 100 much civic pride
10 have their property beautified AZ the
expense OF Others. You who have va
cant lots should take care of them
yourselves. You have everything TO
gain and nothing 10 lose II is a
straight OFT business proposition.
When you make your lot more attract
i've you not only increase the chances
Of selling il. but you make il more val
liable. Fifty dollars spent on a vacant
lot in thfs way means that you can sell
the lot for al least 800 more than you
had figured on.

up. Il IS more 10 your advantage than

UNNECESSARILY ALARMED

The last number of Claude Ling
les Dixie contained a very exciting
article on the possibility of the neg
roes of the second ward of Jackson
vile carrying that ward in the city
election on Tuesday and landing a
man of their own color in the city
council
Dire prophecies were made as to
the impending catastrophe, and the
state has waited in great suspense for
the outcome of the election.
There has been some suspicion that
Claude was an excitable individual
and that his publications were given
over to the yellow hue.
Returns of Tuesdays election have
been received, and the largest vote
given to a negro was fifty-eight. The
highest vote given TO a white man in
the same ward was three hundrer and
forty-one.
1t now seems as though Claude was
needlessly alarmed, or that it was
his time for raising a sensation.-Mi
