TO ESTABLISH new
SHEET AND PILLOW
CASE FACTORY
F. L. BOttum Has Plans Par
TALLY Perfected
DETAILS NOT COMPLETED
Says Several Matters Must Be Ar.
ranged Before Proposed Indus
try viii Be Assured.

F. L. Bottum, one of the original
partners OF the firm of Bottum G. Tor
rance, has inaugurated plans to manu-
facture sheets and pillow cases on
the upper floor of the old Valentine
mill recently occupied by the shirt
waist factory of Roster &c Cottrell.
Mr.. Bottum has not yet completed
his arrangements to a point where he
desires to make any definite state.
ment in regard to the new business
There are a number of important
details that have not yet been decid-
ed upon and for this reason he says
he is not in position to state that
the new business is an assured fact.
Arrangements have been made
whereby Mr.. Bottum takes over the
sheet and pillow case department of
the Bottum & Torrance company. 1t
is planned to move the machinery
now at the Bottum & Torrance com
pany's plant to the Valentine mill
and the making Of sheets and pillow
cases at the former factory win be
discontinued.
There is room enough at the valen.
tine mill to put in machinery suffici.
ent to do a business of a thousand
dollars a day, SO that the question OF
floor space is already settled.
once the proposed plant is under
way Mr.. Bottum plans to add the
business of manufacturing table lin
ems, but this is feature that will
not be given much consideration at
the present time.
Mr.. Bottum expects to make ar
rangements today with a broker to
purchase his stock from the southern
mills as is customary with all manu-
lacturers of sheets and pillow cases.
There are also some other outside de-
tails to be determined before heswill
be in a position to say that the new
factory is a surety. "a .

Unjustly Accused.

Andrew Carnegie, when talking
about the Scotch dialect once, said:
scotch dialect is a lingo hard to un-
derstand, and It often causes awkward
mistakes. once an American divine
spent Christmas In a highland inn. On
Christmas morning he gave the maid
n tip of a sovereign, aud he said, look
Ing earnestly at her for she was
pretty maid:
do you know. Kathleen, you are
very good looking lassiey
"Of course Kathleen was pleased.
but being modest, she blushed like
rose and answered:
"Ah, ma! All, na! But my kissing,
sir, is beautiful
"The divine frowned.
"'Leave the room, you wicked
young baggagev he said sternly.
"1e didn't know, you see. that mod.
est Kathleen had been simply praislng
In her highland dialect the superior
charms Of her cousin Janet Of Pee

to the floor. The distance from the
point at which he was at work is be-
tween 40 and 90 feet and it is almost
miraculous that a man could fall that
distance and not sustain fatal injur-
les.
He was at once taken to the Hill

however it was not known whether
or not he had received any internal
injuries as would seem probable in
the case of an accident of that kind.

SEEKING MISS ARNOLD
Clue Pointing To Her Presence In

Philadelphia, Feb. S.-The search
ers for Miss Dorothy Arnold, the miss
ing daughter of Francis r. Arnold of

when she left her home, some time
in the afternoon of Dec. II last, she
departed in an automobile, and that
she went away of her own volition.

Chief of the Philadelphia Detective

INsURlNG VALUABLE MEN
Large Concerns Now Take Out Poll.
cies on the Lives Of Their High
Grade Employees.

Insuring valuable men in corpo-
rations and manufacturing concerns
is the latest form of insurance. In
the textile industry, for example,
this plan is being tried in the case
of officials and employees whose tech
nical knowledge is Of high order.
In New York state mill the life of
a man recently engaged under con-
tract for a term of years to take
charge Of manufacturing depart
ments has been insured by the pro-
prietors for $4,000, running the
length of time the contract is in
force. Several insurance companies
are engaged in this line of business,
and it is probable that before long
the custom will be as common to in.

it is to insure property against loss
by fire. 1t is said the system en-
courages contract positions for men
of value and that the idea is as feas.

THE FRESH AIR SCHOOLS
American Cities Are Adopting Plan
for tuberculosis Children Which
Has Worked Well In Germany.

Fresh air schools, started and still
conducted to care for tuberculous
children, promise to have an impor-
tant influence upon the entire pub
lie school system. They are still
new in America, having been in use
IN Providence two years, in Boston
something more than year and for
shorter periods in Chicago, Pitts
burg, Rochester and Hartford. They
have been fully tried out in Ger
many, where they have been varied
into open air summer schools and
forest schools. In no place where
they have been tried have they been
abandoned. In most places they are
being extended. Thus far the
schools have included only the phy-
sically weak and the mentally back
ward. With plenty of fresh air and
sanitary surroundings, these weak
and defective children have been
able to accomplish more than nor
NAL children in the ordinary schools.
In some cases progress has been ex-
ceptionally rapid. While the minds
develop as they never developed be-
fore, the bodies grow strong and
children are given chance in life---

TOWN ASSESSOR COM.
PUTES OUR POSSESSIONS
ALL OF THE HARD WORK IS DONE.
ALL We HAVE TO DO NOW IS
PAY OUR TAXES.

Town Assessor F. L. Martin has
finished his work and turned his
returns in to the county auditor
and town trustees. Every indi-
viduals list of this worlds goods
is now matter of record and the
only remaining part for him to
perform will be to walk into the
presence of S. M. Smith, county
treasurer, along about the first of
next October, and with the as
sistance of that worthy official,
proceed, with as much grace as
possible, to separate himself from
little cash. This is the Ameri-
cans inalienable right-the privi-
lege of once each year experienc-
ing the thrill of satisfaction that
comes to one when he ships into
the county's strong box, so to
speak, the little fee that reminds
him that he is member Of a great
commonwealth and has property
therein on which he is allowed to
pay taxes.
1t is said that in other states and
in the older portion of this state,
people are sometimes prone to un-
derestimate the value of their pos
sessions to the assessor, but such
is not the case here. The people
here generally realize progress is
only attained by a certain outlay
in expenses and through the medi-
um of taxation is the only way to
get money to do such things with.
The assessor thus found that the
personal property of Timber Lake
amounted in round numbers to
$Io5.ooo. This includes the value
of buildings which are upon lots
where the patent has not yet been
issued to the purchaser. In fact
there are only four lots to which
patents have been issued. Not
only this, he found an occasional
man who acknowledged that he
owned dog.
The town trustees met Tuesday
night to review the work of the
assessor, and on the first Tuesday
OF July the county commissioners
will again look over the list to-
gether with the rest of the county
returns. then after the state board
OF equalization has knocked few
corners off here and there, the list
will be returned and all we will
have to do, as stated above, is to
make our bow to the county treas
urer.

SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTES
BONDS FOR $4,000
ACTION OF ELECTORS ASSURES GOOD
SCHOOLS FOR FETT DISTRICT
NUMBER TWO.

While the vote on the bonding
proposition held Tuesday was not
large, it nevertheless was de-
cisive expression on the part of the
electors of the district in favor OF
issuing the bonds and having good
schools hereafter. The amount of
bonds authorized is eight thousand
dollars.
The district comprises about six
teen townships which was in that
portion of the reservation opened
to settlement. AS bounded by the
commissioners, the district begins
at the northwest corner of town.
ship II, range "a, thence east to
the Missouri river, thence down
the river until the line between
townships ID and IS is reached,
thence west to the southeast corner
of township IS, range 23, thence
north to the place of beginning.
The district thus has between six
and seven townships-all of that
in township IS, east of range "a,
which is in the unopened portion
of the reservation.
The board, just elected-Dr. T.
H. Baer, G. E. Breckenridge and
E. w. Hook, are unable to say at
this time just how many schools
will be required. Timber Lake
and Cheyenne Junction will each
require school but whether there
will be need of others this year is
not yet known.
A member of the board informs
us that there are several markets
for bonds. An effort has or will
be made, however, to dispose OF
them to the state. 1t is under
stood that loans of this kind are
made frequently from the state
school and public lands fund.

100000 SPENT TO
ELECT L0R|MER
Witness Declares Edward Hines
Made Admission and Asked $l0,'
600 for "Slush" Fund.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 5-Clar-
ence s. Funk, OF Chicago, general
superintendent OF the international
Harvester Co., this afternoon told the
senate committee that Edward Hines,
OF Chicago, the Lumber King ask
ed that company for $4,000 TO pay a
part OF 100000 ''slush" fund raised
for the election of William Lorimer TO
the United States senate.
Funk is the man whom Fl. II. Kohl
saat. OF the Chicago Record-Herald
said told him that the slush fund had
been raised. The editor went on this
stand this afternoon after his arrival
In the city and stated that Funk was
the man who had made the statement.
Il have been released from my pledge
OF secrecy" added Kohlsaat.
According to Funk, Hines, who was
before the committee last week and
denied the spending of money for
Lorimer, met him soon after Lorimer's
election.

Hines told him. Some OF you fe!-

Canadian northwest. AS stockers
these cattle were purchased, last fall
In Manitoba and vicinity, brought
east and sold to Ontario feeders at
high prices.
Prime steers, weighing from 1,100
to 1900, are selling in Winnipeg for
1915 TO $40 per cwt. This looks like
high price, but II Is not hard to real

cattle have lost money by the under.

ginning to market their winters prod
uct OF fat cattle and, like those being
marketed on this side of the border
they are averaging too heavy to com
mand the best prices. The Canadian
northwest Is passing through an ex
perience very like famine In meats
and the trade is straining every nerve
TO relieve the situation by shipping
large numbers of domestic animals
both alive and dressed, into this great
country, which is rapidly becoming
more thickly populated.
Recent heavy arrivals of sheep md

meat produced by the sheep, was new

cause OF the trouble, as far as Buffalo
is concerned, is to be found In the
fact that this market Is dependent
upon an order trade from eastern Nil

coming summer. A big southern early
lamb crop Is about ready for market,
fact that bids fair to give the buyer
OF yearling lambs the best of the sit
uation, before very long.
Prices for live hogs have been grad
ually declining, OF late, as result OF
record-breaking runs In all markets.
Seldom In the past have live hog val
uses yielded so grudgingly under the
pressure OF heavy receipts. The mar
ket has been swept clean every day,
shippers and packers competing ac-
lively In the effort to secure share
OF the arrivals with which to meet the
requirements Of one OF the most ac-
tive fresh pork trades that the coun-
try has ever known.
The commodity market has been
declining steadily for the last three
months, until the cured product is far
below a parity with the carcass value
of the animal. and in the case OF the
May option In mess pork. fully IS per
barrel below the high point OF the
January bulge. Shipments of lard to
other countries have been enormous

twice as large as for the same week
last year. The entire trade Is we'll
