Night Wire Service

Capital Journal: As the result
of new plan which has been put
into effect by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, the Pierre
Telegraph Office will be kept open
twenty four hours day from now
on.
G. H. Drake, who has charge
of the Pierre Office, received word
last Thursday from headquarters
that the final arrangements had
been completed, and commencing
Thursday, the Pierre Office will
during the night not only serve
the people of Pierre, but in addi-
tion will by a cooperative arrange
ment with the telephone company,
handle messages 20 and from sur
rounding towns, whose telegraph
offices have closed for the night or
Sunday. Pierre is one of four
cities in the eastern part of the
state so favored, the others being
Huron, Aberdeen and Sioux Falls.
Under the new plan messages
for the towns tributary to Pierre
will, during the night, be sent to
the Pierre Office. The telephone
Office will be notified, and the tele-
phone operator will accertain if
the addressee wishes to stand the
expense of receiving the message
by long distance telephone. In
case the party does not wish to go
to that expense, the message will
be forwarded by wire in the morn
ing in the usual way.
The arrangement will also prove
very convenient to those who wish
to send messages during the night,
as it will only be necessary to call
the telegraph operator who will
forward it Immediately.
To the people of Pierre the
change will be welcomed as an ad-
ded convenience, and as one more
of the features which proclaim
Pierre metropolis.
Mr.. VIM. Bross has been added
to the operating force, making q
total of four operators now en-
ployed there.

for home consumption and export
trade. Those fine big boned steers
can be made to tip the beam at
from fifteen to eighteen hundred
when they are finished. 1t is a
conceded fact that Our big cattle
ranges, like our pine forests are a
thing of the past, it will be only a
matter of a few years when there
will be q shortage of feeders and
prices for fresh meat will be out
of the reach of the poor and mid
die classes, this can be averted if
we have reciprocity with Canada,
and those enterprising people can
be depended on to go into the cat
tie business on a large scale and
keep up the supply.
There is nothing on the list we
farmers are more Interested in
than free lumber. l made it a
point to write to a friend of mine
who is foreman of a big saw mill
lin western Canada, and ne gave
me the prices of some of the lum-
ber that is used mostly by farmers.
These figures are per on board the
cars at the mill, and are as follows:
2x4 6 in and 8 in common. 500,
shiplap $3.50, 1x12 $500, 1x4
No. 2 flooring, 1913. 90, five-eighths
by 4 No. 2 ceiling s14.OO, Ike drop
siding, S17.OO. ks No. 2 finish,
s24.0O, fir lath, Sl.35, ax6 siding.
$500, extra A shingles, $1.6O.
The item of lumber alone on the
free list would give the farmers a
chance to make improvements in
building, if some of these knockers
would take these figures to their
local lumber yards and compare
the prices of the lumber trusts
with these figures they would feel
a cold chill run mp their spinal
colum, and bring to mind p. L.
Barman's remark, when he said the
Ap,eEican people love to be hum
buged. This treaty with Canada
may not pass this congress, but
Taft declares he will call an extra
session in March that will support
reciprocity and and give the work
ing man a chance to have a full
dinner pail.

Indians Claim Black Hills

An Indian council was held
near Cherry creek on the Cheyenne
river which was attended by In
dians from practically all the diff
ferent Sioux reservations in the
northwest who are discussing ways
and means in regard to their at
titude in the status of the Black
Hills. They claimed that they
never relinquished their title to
section of the country but allowed
the government to take it under
lease, and that they have title
interest in that whole section.
with its many mines and ranches
and thriving towns scattered in
that portion of the state. The re-
presentatives come from the Chey-
enne River, Standing Rock, Pine
Ridge, Rosebud and Lower Brule
reservations in the Dakotas; San
tee in Nebraska and Tongue River
in Montana.
The delegates held a business
session and there was pow vow
about it, the gathering being the
most progressive of the tribe.
They have no ideas of even being
again put in possession of the pro-
perty but they think it possible
that they can so establish their
claims that the government will be
compelled to make good to them
for the territory which covers that
section. The delegates went to
the gafhering place by train and
automobile and there was no old
time Indian ceremonial in their
action. but getting together on a
business proposition by business
men who believe that they have a
valuable asset if they establish
their claims.

No proposition has achieved the

1t passed the senate without oppo-
sition, but in the house was re-
ferred to the printing committee
which will report it without rec
commentators to the committee
of the whole. Senator Curtiss
claims that the enactment of his
bill, on the basis of the same mum
Der of amendments and referred
laws as last election, will save the
state one hundred thousand dol
lars a year. The newspaper op-
position holds that the papers are
the recognized avenue of publicity;
and that if too much was paid for
the printing at the last election,
that instead of cutting them out
of the work, the pay should be
placed on an equitable basis.
Advices from Washington state

ANOTHER BANKING INSTITUTION
The Security Banking & Trust
Company Organize with
a Capital stock of
$4,000

Among the important business
transactions of the past week was
the organization of the Security
Banking q Trust Company with
u capital stock of $50, 900. The
officers of the new institution are:
NJ. E. Phillips, president; H. f.
Waldorf, vice-president; HI. B.
Fislar, cashier; j. j. Delay, of
the Exchange Bank of Omaha,
assistant cashier. The directors
chosen for the ensuing year were,
M. E. Phillips, c. T. Dixie, DR..
+. Fl. Borst and X. NJ. Williams.
The balance of the stockholders
are business men of Philip and
vicinity.
A part of the fixtures for the
bank have already been ordered
and as soon as weather will per-
NIT in the spring, two-story
brick building will be erected with
25 foot front and about 60 feet
long on the lot north of the opera
house formerly owned By Mrs.
Myrtle Dupree.
1t is unnecessary to introduce to
the public the men who are pro-
noting this new enterprise, for
they were among the first to en-
gage in business in Philip, and
are men whose ability and fnan-
cial responsibility are unquestioned.
The ORIGINATING and launching of
the new bank clearly demonstrates
the confidence which the men be-
hind it have in the future of our
city and the surrounding country.
The style-makers of Paris admit
another failure. They decreed the
hobble skirt, but the hobble skirt
did not come. A few wore it, and
were laughed at bat the common
sense women of the country re-
fused to accept it, and it went the
way of the Merry Widow" and
the ''peach-basket" hat. The next
order form Paris is for the semi
zouave trousers of the Turkish
harem for women-a decree also
certain to attract no following, and
to meet the failure it deserves.
The paragraphers make much
sport of the women for following
absurd fashions, but the American
woman, as matter of fact, has
shown a delightful insurgency
against fashions DEGREES. Argus
