Crop Conditions
in the Black Hills
Drouth Completely Broken and Gray
ing Lands Are Again Available
Sowing for Fall Feed Begins.

BELLE FOURCHE, S. D.. July H.-(Spe-
.al)-The Bellefourche river. which has
been dry for the last month owing to the
continued drouth. is running full of water
at this time, the result OF heavy rains
which have occurred in this part of the
country, and west OF here. The rains have
filled all OF the stock watering holes In
this section of the state, and have made
grazing lands which could not before be
used again available While the western
country has suffered to some extent from
the dry weather, there are thousands of
acres which are irrigated and will yield
the usual quota of feed
In the last two weeks rains have been
frequent, and where other crops have been
planted earlier the farmers are getting
ready to SOW corn, cane and millet, with
the idea of getting plenty of fall feed. 1t
is the general opinion that the drouth is
now over.
The stock situation is not at all bad,
While the grazing country up to this time
has been very short OF grass, the herds
have been moved and II there is late pas
ture, which now seems certain, II will be
in good condition to go through the win,
ter. The usual shipments of grass fattened
cattle will be light, and the shipments OF
stock cattle and feeders will be heavier
but most OF the herds will be kept in the
country. The clip OF wool was very heavy
this spring, shipments from this city alone
being nearly 100000 pounds and II was
nearly 100000 pounds from other points
in this part OF the state. Sheep
are in good condition and now that they
can be moved again. the water holes being
filled. the situation will be much better :

Town Without Water;
No Relief in Sight
Big Ponds on Which Charlotte, N. c.,
Depends for Supply Stretches of
Sun Baked Mud.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 31.-With the
big ponds which have furnished Charlotte's
water supply for many years mere
stretches of sun-baked mud and the
stopcocks to the small supply in the
reservoir shut down tight since Friday, this
city is undergoing serious distress. The
danger OF disease and destruction by fire
is growing every hour.
No rain of consequence has fallen in this
section in many weeks. With the famine
of water the sewerage system has been
abandoned and this has brought about such
a menace to health that stringent sanitary
regulations have been adopted. Special
sanitary guards are being sworn in every
day to patrol the city. along with squads
OF extra firemen. for the city would be
absolutely at the mercy Of the flames

Hundreds are leaving Charlotte, flock

WILL PREVENT GAMBLING
AT REGISTRATION POINTS
Local Officials Notified that state
Will Act IL They Fail to Do
Their Duty.

PIERRE, S. D., July 31.-(Speclal.) AT
former land registrations at different places
in this state, the gambling element has
thrlved at the expense of those who
gathered to register. ]. w. witten, the
government representative in charge of the
work is determined that this shall not
be the case in the registrations for
Mellette and Bennett county lands, and has
called upon the state authorities to assist
in the work. After a conference on the
part of Governor Vessey and Attorney
General Johnson they have decided to call
upon the local authorities to use every
means to prevent gambling at registration
points, and have further notified such local
authorities that any complaints in regard
to gambling at that time will mean the
sending of a special prosecutor from the
attorney generals department to take up
the matter of law enforcement, and that
the local authorities will be held RESPONSE
BILE for any failures on their part which
will require action on the part of the state
legal department which may be caused
by their failure or neglect to enforce
gambling laws. In other words all the
power OF the state executive and legal de-
partments will be turned loose on the
situation where the local authorities are
either unable or unwilling to cope with the
situation.

Idaho and Wyoming furnished the big

something like thirty loads of lambs, thirty
loads of wethers, ten loads of yearlings,
and an odd dozen loads of ewes.

WOOD SCRAPS TURNED TO USE
HiEh-Priced Lumber Causes I'm
Usual Economics In tue
Mills.

In these days OF high priced lumber the
utilization OF the small pieces of wood
formerly considered Of little or no value
assumes considerable Importance The
Woodworker gives a number of uses for
these scraps.
Some furniture makers glue together
small, clear pieces down to one inch wide
and one foot long and find that they
serve very we'll for the interior framework
of bureaus, chiffoniers, sideboards and
similar articles.
Wheelwrights save the ends cut from
spokes and shape them in lathes for ehisel
gimlet, auger and other small tool han
dies Wagon builders occasionally make
use OF scraps OF hardwoods for lining
brake blocks Sash and blind makers
save their scraps for match factories, or
II the pieces are large enough they are
worked into corner blocks, rose blocks
and balusters.
Coopers recut broken or defective
slaves of the larger sizes and make kegs
or smaller vessels OF them. Small head
ings are economically manufactured In
that way. Occasionally defective slaves
and headings are made into bowels. Bias
ket makers save the cores from which
veneer has been cut and saw them into
thin Stats for baskets and crate covers.
Brush manufacturers have made some
Roadway in using waste from furniture
factories, but the pieces are OF so many
sizes and OF such irregular shapes that
porch chair shop has been able to draw a
considerable part OF it's raw material
from the waste OF boat factories
Some Of the makers on interior finish
work their odds and ends of softwoods
into small boxes and the hardwood scraps
are made into parquet noorings Planning
mills work scraps and broken pieces, un-
salable In that form, into boxes for APP
pies medicines and other articles and into
brackets balusters, rose blocks and small
quarter round moulding-New York Sun.
