WHY ARE YoU NOT A TIMES
READER
The Bad River news. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 19??-1912, 1911-10-05

advice was ever given to a Stanley
county farmer. Cultivate the level
fields where the rainfall has a little
time to sink into the ground in
stead of being hurried down the
hill to run off and swell the waters
of the Big Muddy. The most of
the soil of Stanley county is
marked on the soil map as Silt
Clay Loan. This is a very good
soil. A little hard to work but
said to be fairly we'll supplied
with humus and quite retentive
of moisture but in this particular
matter of readily absorbing the
rain it needs watching. On ac-
count of its clay nature it puddles
or runs together every rain that
comes. In this condition the rain
passes through it with much less
facility then it would enter loose
granular surface. The consequence
is, much of the rain will run off
from the field and be lost. Es-
pecially is this true if the surface
is much inclined. 1t is therefore of
the utmost Importance that you
keep the surface of your field in
an open granular state at all times.
For not otherwise can you hope
to secure all the rain that falls and
this you should do if you expect
t. raise good crops with l2 inches
of rain. Nor should this be con-
fined to the growing season but
shonld continue the whole year
when conditions will admit. If this
is done, practically no water will
be lost from any fairly level field.
This letter is now as long as it
should be for one week but the
subject is far from being exhaust
ed. | will continue the discussion
next week. A. l.. Potter.

IN s|O0,000,0o0 CLAIM
Heirs of Charles Durkee Revive
Case Against the Fed
eral Government.

In an effort to uncover property
owned by the late Charles Durkee
one of the first United States sen.
ators from Wisconsin, amounting
to 500, ,OOO, 900, bill for the ap-
pointrnent of an administrator for
the Durkee estate was filed in the
County Court at Kenosha yester-
day. The petitioners are Mrs. Har-
riet l. Blaisdell of Campaign Ill.
and Caroline G.. johnson of Fay
cite Ohio, claiming to be nieces Of
Charles Durkee.
The existence of the property
they seek to uncover was unknown
TO Franklin H. Head of Chicago,
who acted as administrator of the
estate. He filed his report, closing
up the estate, in 1872
The application for an admin
istrator is made to bring out the
facts in regard to the famous claim
against the government known as
the Durkee claim, in which it was
alleged that Durkee deposited with
the government in 1865, stocks and

The carrying of parcels on rural
routes will be urged upon con-

at the department that this sort of

very popular, and serve as the en-
tering wedge for the larger and
more general proposition to cover
the entire country.
A report has been published
throughout the country to the eff

Work Will be Started Soon

The Fairplay: Word was re-
ceived from the big engineering
firm of Westinghouse. Church,
Kerr & Co., that work will be
started on the preliminary surveys
of the Little Bend project within
a very short time. State Historian
Doane Robinson, of Pierre, who
is very much interested in the
movement, and E. G. Warner,
president of the business mems
organization across the river, and
another enthusiastic booster, were
on the west side Wednesday, and
gave our local hustlers assurances
that arrangements for starting the
work are practically completed.

bonds of Pacific railways valued
at 500, 100000. The amount of the
claim with accrued interest grew
rapidly and is now estimated at
$1OO, ,OOO,O 900. The claim has been
before United States courts, Con-
gress and through all claim depart
ments of the national government,
but this is the first time that any
of the heirs of the former senator
have taken any part in formal
claims for the money. Previously
outsiders have made attempts to
optain the return of the money
from the government.
In order to finance the necessary
litigation in the struggle for the
money, shares in the claims were
sold throughout Wisconsin and
Minnesota and these now are held
by thousands of persons in those
states. Henry l.. Hastings, district
attorney for Kenosha county and
counsel for the petitioners, declared
last night that the two heirs to the
estate had facts in their possession
which on their face made it appear
that their claim was just and suf
icient to entitle them to the ap
pointment of an administrator

county court in Kenosha said he
probably would name an admin
istrator.-Chicago Record Heralt

KILLED At SPOKANE EXHIBITION
Accident Watched by Crowd
Which Sees Him Fight for Life
Hundred Feet in Air

Spokane: Aviator Cromwell
Dixon, who flew across the Rocky
Mountains last Saturday, fell from
height of 100 feet at the inter-
state fair grounds here today and
received injuries which caused his
death.
Caught by an adverse current of
air, DiXon's machine turned on it's
side and plunged into rocky rail-
road cut. While falling Dixon
pluckily attempted to right his
aeroplane, and shouted to the
spectators:
Here | go! Here l go!''
He was picked up unconscious
and rushed to a hospital, where it
was found that his skull was frac-
tured, his right leg broken and
his collar bone shattered, so that a
portion of it protruded through
the flesh. He died at $3.50 o'clock.
Dixon is the aviator who made
flights at Huron during the South
Dakota state fair this year.
Killed in air flights in 1910, IS.
Fatalities so far in 1911, 81.

The Wrong Nelson

A barrel of apples was receivd
at the depot about ten days ago,
consigned to George Nelson. AS
Mr.. Higbee knew of but one Geo.
rye Nelson and he was away, so
naturally delieverd them to Geo.
rge's father. While not knowing
where they came from, Mr.. Nelson
accepted them thankfully, paid the
freight and proceeded to do to
those apples what anyone else
would have done under similar
circumstances. About a week af-
ter getting the apples Mr.. Nelson
was visited by agent Higbee and a
fair-haired young Irishman who
was introduced by Mr.. Higbee as
George Nelson, of Grindstone,
who was looking for a barrel OF
apples, As fol- good add sufficient
reasons, Mr.. Nelson could not de-
liver those apples. he ordered q
barrel to be shipped to George
Nelson, at Cottonwood, and every
body is happy.-Quinn Couran'

A Chump Who Wouldn't
Advertise

Breathes there a with soul so dead,
Who neUer to himself hath said:
MY trade of late is getting bad,
PH try another ten-inch ad?"
IF such there be, go mark hin, veX,
For him no bank account shall sweH
No angel watch the golden stair,
To Welcon1e home a millionaire
The man Who never asks for trade
BY local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than ,OorLdly gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends; let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him liUe in calm repose
Unsought except by men he oDes,
And .Ohen he dies go plant him deep
That naught may break his dreanless sleep;
Wherein no clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loued so weN;
And that the world may knouU its loss,
Place on his grave Wreath of moss;
And on a stone above, "Here lies
A chunnp .vho Wouldn't advertise.'

THE LAND
OF SILENCE
BY Jesse c. Bowman

Perhaps you have been in George
town; it you have, it is a place you
will always remember Nestled in a
bowl-shaped valley of the Rockies. on
the line of the Colorado & Southern,
Just east of the famous Georgetown
loop, the little town lies. sheltered by
those mighty mountain walls which
have silently watched the ages come
and go.
Great is the army of toilers that
has marched in review before those
sentinel hills, and many monument
has been cut from their weather-beat-
en- ridges to mark the resting place OF
heroes who have gone. But some
where, entomber in that mighty wall
of rock, rest the ashes of one whom
Georgetown viii long remember.
1t was in the early days of the lit
tie mining town days when the lure
of wealth drew men away from the
cities into the mountain fastness- and
the village of a few log cabins began
to grow and spread across the valley
The rails of the C. & s. erawled slow
ly up the tortuous gorge of Clear
Creek and into the valley, forming an
artery which connected the embryo
town with the mother world. II was
in these days that Georgetown first
heard the name of Archibald Rayner.
Tall and powerful, with shaggy
beard and brows, he appeared to the
curious loafers at the depot like lion
from his native plain. Men looked at
him and wondered. TWO hours later
they looked at each other and wonder
ed more. A quarrel had been started
in the saloon, and when the smoke
had cleared away, few startled ma
tives who looked on from safe dis
tance saw the newcomer standing
grimly over a huddle of silent forms
that had been men. There was talk
of a lynching, but men looked on the
stranger and thought better of it, so
Ra,ner became boss of the town.
In the mines he took the most dar-
ing risks, but always without a mis-
hap, and the long tunnels ate their
way steadily into the hills, wrestling
the wealth of the earth from the grip
of the mighty rock.
Rayner became a man to be respect
ed. with a respect born of dread. Men
were cautious of him-all but one
man. Little Jack Hudson, from Jop
lin, Missouri, had somehow become
fast friend of the giant. Again men
wondered and shook their heads; but
Hudson lived on.
The two were standing at the
mouth of the tunnel one evening
watching the stars as they came steal
ing into the clear blue sky. Hudson
smoked meditatiyely-his eyes tixee
on the clear heavens above him.
"'Tis good world 10 be in, Archie,
he said, at length; "a good world.
The huge miner grunted, glances
up at the stars and scowled.
"Why?" he asked quietly, knocking
the bowl of his pipe against a grim!
palm.
Hudson stared curiously at hi
friend. "Why?' he asked We'll, VIII.
not?"
The miner Strengthened himself ul
with a jerk, and his glance hashe'
sternly into the others eyes.
"Why?" he repeated scornfully
why? Say, man. are you blind? ?"
Hudson's pipe dropped from his lip
and he stared open-mouthed.
You say" went ON Rayner sternly

Pathetic Death

F. P. Hill, a farmer who lived
up in Grant county came to this
city about two weeks ago with q
large freighting wagon and a four
horse team for the purpose of
hauling supplies to mis- farm. 1t
rained on him and also on his bed
ding on the way in and that night
without stopping to consider he
slept in the damp bedclothing,
The consequence was that the next
day he became i'll with pneumonia
and died after a short illness at
the White House. February 25th.
Mr. Hill was a widower and leaves

A CHANCE TO PREPARE
Seward County High School
to Offer Course for
Rural Teachers

: A Teachers Review is being
organized as a feature of the high
school work this spring. The
plan is to offer a review of six
weeks in all subjects required for
a second grade teachers certifi.
cate. More advanced work will
be offered if there is sufficient de-
mand for it. The course will be
open to all teachers, those expect
ting to become teachers, and all
others of sufficient advancement to
profit by the work offered. No
tuition will be charged. The state
texts will be used and the Institute
course of study will form the basis
of the work. This course is not
intended to take the place of the
regular Normal institute in any
respect but to give added oppOr-
tunity for advancement. If those
expecting to take the examination
after Institute, will take part of
their subjects in this course and
the others in the Normal Institute
a thorough review of all may be
secured.
1t is believed that this will be a
splendid opportunity for beginners
to prepare for their first work in
teaching and for those already
teaching to prepare for more
efficient work. Pupils preparing
for the diploma examination may
also receive the needed review.
The work will begin about April
II. Remember, the school makes
no charges. All that is asked is
that those expecting to attend will
let Us know what subjects they
desire to take up.

Grier Cars Moved

A fire at Mcfarland Friday
morning destroyed the Grier Hotel
at that point, and the cars used by
that company here were moved to
Mcfarland last Sunday. The new
hotel here will probably be ready
for occupany by March 20, and
there will be no railroad eating
house here until the new hotel is
opened. There has been nothing
officially given out, but it is gen.
orally understood that the hotel at
Mcfarland will be rebuilt as soon
as possible.
