Sky Pilots Desert Cottonwood

Bro. Leedom, of the Cottonwood
Republican, feels it necessary to
make certain explanations, as
follows: With the recent removal
of the following esteemed brethren
from our midst it may lead some
to believe that this is hard place
for ministers: Rev. Robt. Hof-
man, Congregational; K. O. Macha-
mer, Methodist; r. u. Evjenth,
Lutheran; and j. G. Grafton,
Christian. Such is not the case
however. All of these same gentle
men, with the exception of MIR.
Hoffman; were out here on home
steads, taking a short vacation
from their ministerial work and
decided it was time to get back
into the harness, SO they left us.
We are not such bad outfit, even
if the preachers do desert us.

WOOLF IS SOME HUSTLER
Dupree Man, New States Attorney
Travels Far To Get Certificate

Pierre, April l2. Walter Woolf
of Dupree was granted a certificate
to practice by the supreme court
on examination. Woolf failed to
reach here in time for the regular
examination last Tuesday, but
when he made his showing he was
allowed to take a special examina-
tion, at which he passed. He had
made arrangements to be at the
examination, but learned that he
could not make train connections
by way of Mobridge and Aberdeen,
and started for this city horseback,
a distance of about $50 miles. He
rode all one night, but reached
here in the afternoon of the day
for the examination, and could not
90 through with the regular class.
He showed such a determination
to get to the examination that the
court allowed him to try the next
day.

VESSEY PROCLAIMS ARBOR DAY
Governor Issues Proclamation Setting
Aside April II as Arbor Day

Pierre April Ex-Governor
Vessey has issued the following
Arbor day proclamation:
In harmony with the custom
well established and now obtaining
throughout the various states of
the union, l, r S. Nessey, governor
of the state of South, do hereby
designate, set apart and proclaim
Friday, April 81, 1911, as Arbor
day, and recommend that the
people of South Dakota fittingly
observe the same by the planting
of trees, vines and shrubs around
their homes, along the roads and
highways, and about the public
school and state buildings.
"The evident necessity for the
growth and protection of trees
should be an incentive to all the
people of the state to take an
interest in the subject and give it
due consideration.
The press, pupils and schools
can be especially effective in bring
ing about the desired results, and
| urge upon these several agents
the need for their cooperation il
establishing a state wide pro
paeanda. tending to develop a love
of the beautiful in nature. and
creating and fostering in the minds
of our boys and girls, a desire for
those things which make our
homes more pleasant and attractive.
''In testimony whereof l have
hereto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the great seal of the
state of South Dakota"

Anniversary of Fort Sumter

Fifty years ago Tuesday the
shot heard around the world"
was fired, when Major Anderson
and his band of brave men offered
resistance to the Confederate troops
while in command at TT. Sumter.
1t was not only the first battle of
the long struggle between the
Union and Confederate armies, but
the only bloodless engagement of
the Civil war.
Half starved for the lack of ra-
tions Major Anderson and his men
surrendered and the spectacular
defense put up by them was
sufficient to even bring forth cheers
from the ranks of the Confederate
troops.
Only when the fort was in flames
and the men in danger of suffoca-
ton did they march out under the
Stars and Stripes to be captured
by the Confederates, fighting under
the Stars and Bars.
Honor to the memory of Ander-
son and his men, who, after being
captured and released, shouldered
their arms once again in defense
of the rights of the doctrine dictat-
ed by President Lincoln in behalf
of the residents in the states of the
north.
The event was celebrated with
appropriate ceremonies at exactly
the same spot where the fort stood
which fred the initial gun that
started the long and bloody war.

new BANK OPENS DOORS
Security Banking g. Trust Co. Is
Added To List of Local Firms

Philips third banking institu-
tion, the Security Banking & Trust
Co., opened it's doors for business
Saturday morning at 8 o'clock.
The bank is comfortably located
in one of the first floor rooms of
the Waddell block on Pine street,
a location that is most advan-
tageous.
Some of the furniture and
fixtures have been late in getting
here, and when the equipment is
complete, the Security will have
as admirable furnishings as any
like institution in this section of
the state. A special note might
be made of The No. 3 Compound
Diebold Maganese safe which has
been installed. This safe is abso-
lutely burglar proof even germ
proof, somebody says-and is as
desirable among banking people
as a standard linotype or Miehle
press is among the printers.
The banks officers are Nj. +.
Phillips, president; Ii. +. Waldorf,
vice president: II. b. Fislar,
cashier; j. j. Delay, assistant
cashier. &. i. Dixie, of Pierre,
Henry Thiemann, of Hardingrove,
Nj. K. Phillips, h. NJ. " lliiams
and DIR. +. III. Bo rst, of this city,

Contagion Invades Philip

Beautiful spring days have had
the effect locally of propogating a
germ that has spGead contagion
to all but the few immunes. In
fact, the baseball bug is here for
a long stay. The boys of the high
school have been practicing for a
number of weeks, and will on
Saturday afternoon of this week
take on the boys of the high school
at Wall for the first real g,me of
the season. The visiting team will
sbe accompanied ~ their friends
and knowing as we do that Wall
always send down a lively bunch
of roosters, we are promised an
tagonists worthy of our steel.
The bug has made an attack
on the grown-ups, too, with the
res alt that practice games are
frequent at the fair grounds. 1t
is certain that Philip will be repre-
sented again this season by a fast
team of players, but the organiza-
tion is in the early stages of max
ing as yet.

MiIIett for Governor

1t is possible that Stanley coun-
ty will contribute a candidate for
the republican nomination for
governor before the primaries to
be held in June of 1912, in the
person of Hon. G. Millett, who SO
ably represented the county as
representative in the late Legislative
session. Indeed, it may be expect
ed that Mr.. Millett will become an
active candidate.
Mr.. Millett would be ideal tim
Der for the position. In business
life he has been most successful,
he is fitted intellectually and
morally for that high Office, and
altogether he has many qualifica.
tions that would make him ar
aggressive candidate. He has moi
been a party to the factional strife
of recent years, but would be q
all times for the best interests o,

Advice on Going

Go west, young man, as Greely
said, and carve out wealth and
fame; if you're equipped with
heart and head, you'll surely win
the game. If you are brave and
staunch and true, ambition in your
breast, all things will surely come
to you; SO, then, young man go
west. Go east, young man, and
win renown, the fields beyond
compare; the toiler in the field or
town may gain his laurels there.
The youth who'd take a higher
way than that of clod or beast will
rise to noble heights some day; so,
