Figures Are Out to Show that Under
Irrigation Water will Be Plenty.
Belle Fourche.-Figures compiled
by e. A. Cade, local land agent for
the benefit of the commercial club here
show the amount of water that can be
expected by holders of land under the
Belle Fourche irrigation project near
here.
The figures cover the rainfall and
the estimated amount of water that
would have run OF the diversion dam
in the past eight years.
This includes up to July this year
and makes interesting reading. The
average rainfall including the period OF
this years drought, throughout the
project, was 14.5 inches per year, the
highest in any one year being 81 in
ches and the lowest inches.
The average amount from the diver
sion dam that could be stored was 21S,.
600 acre feet per year. These figures
are being used by the Commercial club
to show the farmers under the project
are assured of plenty of water each
year.

a petition has been filed with the city

Of this state governing cities under the
Galveston Plan Is percent Of the
voters voting at the last election can
recall commissioner. Fifteen per
cent Of the voters at the spring cleo
ton Is $50, and the petition contains
456 votes. Commissioner Rasmussen
was elected when the city adopted the
commission form at the last spring
election, and when the commissioners
elect decided the length of their terms
by lot he drew the three-year term,
and was made commissioner of fire
and police. He is member of the

A Lakes Salt Roof.

The great salt lake at Obdorsk IL
nine miles wide and seventeen miles
long, yet except in a few places 1t Ia
solidly rooted over with deposit Of
salt which is becoming thicker and
thicker each year.
About the middle of the last cen
fury salt crystals first began to gather
upon the surface Of the water. Year
by year, owing to the evaporation OF
the water, the crystals became more
numerous and then caked together un-
til this great roof was formed. In
1873 the water beneath this salt
crystal roof found an underground out
let into the Obu river. This lowered
the lakes surface about three feet,
leaving that distance between the wa
ter and the roof. and each year this
distance has been diminished by the
constant addition of salt crystal to the
roof.
Many springs surround this lake.
Their water flows over the roof and
evaporates there and thus continually
adds to it's thickness. After many
years the springs will probably be-
come choked with their own deposits.
and then the whole will become COW
cred with earth, so that great salt
mine will be formed, treasure for
the Siberians hundreds Of years to
come.-Scientiflc American.

Ends Life in a Well,

Mitchell.-Sin the first of July
Charles Rompannen has been missing
from the immediate vicinity of Norden,
s. D. Little thought was given to his
absence, as he had told relatives that
he was going to North Dakota. After
two and half months had elapsed
since he left the place search was in
stituted for him. His body was found
in an old well on the farm of E. Kan
gas. A coroner's jury arrived at the
conclusion that Rampannen came to
his death by taking dose of poisoned
whisky and then jumping in the we'll.
Rampannen was Finlander. He had
wife and children in the old country
and sister living in the vicinity of
Norden.

Avoid DisputatIon.

The disputatious person never
makes good friend. In friendship,
men look for peace and concord and
some measure of content. There are
enough battles to fight outside, enough
jarring and jostling In the street.
enough disputing in the market place.
enough discord in the workaday
world, without having to look for con-
tention in the realm of the inner life
also. There, If anywhere, we ask for
an end of strife. Friendship is the
sanctuary of the heart, and the peace
of the sanctuary should brood over it.
Its chiefest glory is that the dust and
noise of contest are excluded.-Hugh

Liahtnina,s Odd Prank.

Hudson.-R. L. Bowers, a Lincoln
county farmer and his hired man were
standing near the house watching the
antics of the lightning when they
heard a sound like the swapping of a
stick and the next instant ball of
fire as big as mans head came
shooting down lightning rod near
which they were standing. Bowers
says he could easily have caught it

prUvocation. because they act from

control themselves; the animal In
stinct dominates.
Self control Is the first condition of

first sign of insanity Is the loss of self
control. When q person is no longer
the master of his own acts, he Is not
only in danger. but any degree Of
achievement Is impossible to him.
Every thought tends to result in an

"Fair Play for the Iceman. IL
occupied nearly three full
columns filed with arguments
and figures to show that the
Company was not "trafficking
in the sufferings of the multi
tude of consumers"
The advertisement followed
an acute attack by the press on
the Ice Company, which had
kept its affairs so confidential
tnat it took detectives to find
them out. 1t was so evidently
an attempt to STEM THE TIDE
OF PUBLIC DISFAVOR that,
as an advertisement, it could not
produce anything like the de-
sired result.
It would be GOOD BUSINESS
for the Knickerbocker Ice Co..
in fact, FOR ALL CORPORA

If the ice company, for in

SINCERITY of its effort to sup
ply New York with ice at reason
able cost, and had explained,
when the extremely hot weather
began, that unusual difficulties
were at hand, and had asked for
patience while it did the best it
could, WOULD THERE HAVE

The wisest corporation law

POSTAL SAVINGS IN CITIES.

The most important step in the oe-
veloping OF the postal savings banks
system Is its extension to the four
leading cities of the Union. The prin-
cipal test Of the value OF the postal
savings banks will be supplied In
these cities, where there are dense
wage-earning populations. Foreign
born persons aggregate In the four
cities 1,S50,000 and their savings sent
abroad reach the great sum of ST.
100000. In view Of the explanation
OF the postal authorities that these
large city repositories may keep the
savings OF the foreign-born here and
promote thrift. We wonder why SO
easy a remedy for money losses on
account OF foreign shipment and
stocking banks as well as extrava-
gance was not tried long ago.-New

Reciprocity "busts'' the trusts,

that anything relative to IL Is sure to
