The prosperity of a town is not
gauged by the wealth Of its in
habitants, but the uniformity with
which they pull together when any
important undertaking is to te
accomplished. A man with a
thousand dollars az his command
aud love for his town in lis heart
can do more 70, its upbuilding than
the millionaire who locks up his
capital and snaps his fingers at
home progress.

AS MOBRIDGE
LOOKS TO OTHERS

The Northwest News, published
at Philadelphia, contains the fol-
lowing description of Mobridge,
representatives Of that paper hav-
ing recently visited many of the
towns along this line:
Approaching the Missouri river
the mighty arches of the great
bridge swing into the perspective,
towering high above the trees that
line the river banks. This struct-
ure is the heaviest of all the Mis-
souri, river bridges, its steel work
weighing nearly one million pounds
and its four concrete piers resting
on the bed rock ninety to one
hundred feet below the surface of
the water. The piers rise sixty
five feet above low-gater level and
the monster truss-spans are lifted
fifty-five feet above the rails. The
city of Mobridge is situated two
and quarter miles east of The
river and is the terminus of the
new line. 1t is the gateway of the
Standing Rock and the Cheyenne
River reservations, and to the
magnificent country OK the Da-
kotas, opened TO the markets OF
the world by the building Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & &Puget Sound
Railway. It is also the junction
of three branch lines extending
from the west bank of the Mis-

ton. These branches petseirart .
large area of newly opened agricul-
tural land, which is rapidly set

important addition to the product

The country trayersed by these
branches presents lovely picture
of prairie and upland, tree-lined
streams and wide spreading mead
ows, and the soil contains a wealth
of undeveloped riches, awaiting
only intelligent cultivation to pro-
duce phenominal crops. Mobridge
is an incorporated and rapidly
growing city. 1t has public
water system of the most app DYED

fine business facilities and the best

CEMENT BLOCK
FACTORY HERE

R. Z Enqlish Of Marion, Iowa,
has been in the city the past week
looking over the grounds with
view Of putting in cement
factory, and in an interview with
him this morning he assured us
that he had fully decided to do SO
and has already taken the pre-
liminary steps towards that end.
Mr. English is experienced in
the business he is about to launch
here, having for the past three
years been employed by the rail-
road company in looking after tie
concrete work along the extension
and on the old lines. Three years
ago when the roundhouse was put
in, Mr.. English had charge of
the concrete work and also a portion
OF the same work at the Missouri
river bridge. Before being em-
ployed by the company he was
engaged in the manufacture of
cement blocks at Marion, Iowa, so
it can readily be seen that his ex-
perience extends over quite a
nxmber of years.
He has purchased LOT from the
railroad company located at the
west end of the house track, near
the cold storage building, and he
will begin next week the erection
of the necessary sheds and other
buildings so as to install the
machinery as soon as possible.
at the start he expects 70 invest
about $3, 900, and will increase the
capacity of his plant as the trade
demands it.
The sheds will be equipped with
the best of facilities and arranged
with stea drying rooms, which he
says are an absolute necessity IN
the manufacture of hTst-class
article. The steam-drying process
is something new and as yet is
used only by the larger firms in
TIE country, the usual custom
being to use dry heat in winter
and to sun-dry in summer. The
steam drying process, Mr.. English
informs us, is in order 20 get the
proper amount of moisture dried
into the block, which makes it

AMERICAN INVENTIVE GENIUS.

As an inventive genius the American has no rival on earth. If he needs something which is not in existence ha proceeds to create it-and he doesn't [ waste much time over it, either.
 The records of the United States patent office show that it received last year 63.293 applications for mechanical patents, l.155 for design patents and nearly 1000 for registration of trade marks More than half the applications for patents were granted-eXactly 35.- SO7-while 1929 trade marks were reg istered All of these were on behalf of citizens of the United States.
 From the date of the establishment of our patent office to the end of the year 1870 there were granted to Ameri- can inventors 120.573 patents, while the total number granted in all other cOun- tries in the world during that period was 23S.437. From 1871 to 1911 Ameri- cans received S69.561 patents. while those of all other nations got 1S9.654.
 The toal number of patents issued by the United states to this time is 990.l This greatly exceeds the total of any other nation. Germany ranks second in numbers with a total of 44O,- S9S Great Britain is third. with 425.- 374. and France fourth, with 2iS.l06.

C0NTRASTED BATTLE LINES AND |NsURGENT
The Former at Tecarte Backed Up
 Against the United States.

Tecarte. Mex, March 2O.-At four o'clock this afternoon Lieutenant Justine Mendieta in command of 1O5 federal troops were entrenched behind rock breastworks about three quar- ters of a mile north of Tevarte and within 100 feet of the American boundary line.
 The insurrectos, said to number 1S0 men, were entrenched among the rocks across a narrow valley, the range between the contendng forces being about 500 yards in places along their lines The rebels have planted a red flag in the center of their breastwOrks. A desultory fire has been in progress all day. but so far as can be learned there have been no casualties, excepting three horses killed in the federal camp
 Lieutenant MeEdieta's portion of the breastworks extends nearly a quarter of a mile nearly paralleling the national boundary line. The rebel line, about one-half mile in length. extends over each end of the federal position.
 The present position of Mendieta's force would compel him to retreat into American territory if the enemy takes the offensive and he is unable to withstand their advance. If the federals takes the offensive they must charge the center of the rebel line for there is practically no space for a flank movement south of the boun- dary line. It appears. however, that both forces are awaiting reinforce ments and neither will attack tonight.

PHOENIX LIN
 TOUR ROUTE GIidden Contestants May
 Cross Arizona in 1915 A QUESTION OF ROADS
If We Have Them in Time We Get the Tour. Any way, Phoenix is to be Placed on American Au- tomobile Assn Circuit.

As direct result of the visit tO
 this city of A. G. Batchelder. chair
 man of the executive committee .of
 the American Automobile association
 Phoenix will immediately be placed on the associations racing circuit and
 the Glidden tour route will extend
 across Arizona in 1915 provided a
 reasonably good road from the New | Mexico to the California boundaries, 1 through Roosevelt and Phoenix, has been established by that time
 Urgent business compelled MT
 Batchelder to continue his journey Sunday evening few hours after his return from Roosevelt, instead of remaining oyer for the good roads meeting at the board of trade today as he had planned. His regret at
 not being able to stay over was great
 but he gave President Bullard of the
 Maricopa County Automobile club a
 highly important message to deliver
 First, Phoenix will be upon the
 American Automobile association's
 racing circuit within a very short
 time This means that during fair
 week a big race meet. participated
 in by the leading drivers of the coun-
 try. will be held here. Phoenix is
 on the automobile map more firmly
 than she was placed there by the Los Angeles race. Hereafter il will be the scene Of an exciting annual race meet as well as the finishing point of the big road race. Mir Bullard can not estimate how many drivers and cars that do not participate in the contest from Los Angeles will come for the track events. IL is also likely that many cars that would not enter the Los Angeles Phoenix race with no big prizes for track events at this end of the course, will take part in the road contest
 All this will come without road i'm provement. If Phoenix is made an important station on the Glidden tour there must be a good road from New Mexico to California across the l center of the territory. MT. Batch | elder guaranteed that the Glidden | tourists would be routed across Ari- | zona if such a road is provided by | the summer that the Panama expo sition is scheduled to be held at San | Francisco.
 The Glidden tour of 1915 will prob ably be transcontinental. The way the route is laid across the continent depends altogether upon the roads. If the roads in the southwest are what they should be, Roosevelt. Phoenix and Los Angeles will all be on the route. according to MT. Batchelder He urged Mir Bullard to do every thing in his power to arouse interest in the matter and crystalline senti nent in favor of an east to west highway across the territory. Califor- lia will undoubtedly do her part and New Mexico is not likely to be found unwilling.
 It is estimated that there will be ,ver 200 cars in the 1915 Glidden our. This number. however, repre- jents only a small percentage of the machines that will pass over the oute. Thousands are certain to mo- or to San Francisco for the eXpOsi- ion if the roads permit.

A CRUSOE BY CHOICE.

| About 545 miles south of New Zea- | land is Macquarie island and on it there | was and may be now a man over over | 90 years who made a choice of solitude.
 sea elephants, and penguns. and be- | came a voluntary CrusOe. Captain J
 K. Davis on the Nimrod, under instruc- | tions from Lieutenant Shackleton to locate islands in the South Pacific
 found him. but was unable to persuade
 him to depart. Presumably he remains
 now the sole inhabitant of an island
 domain.
 Captain Davis account of the Crusoe
 by choice was given in the Geographic al Journal and is reproduced in the
 current bulletin of the American Geo graphical society. A party landing
 from the Nimrod found the remains of two huts in a wretched condition. evil dently dating back to the days of the sealers, numbers of sea elephants and a penguin rookery. but no other signs of life. The following day. steaming northward along the coast ana fairly close to the shore, the explorers came on two more huts and could see a man standing in the door of one A boat was lowered amid great excitement" Captain Davis wrote. There was a big surf, but the man came to the shore, pointed out the best landing place, and walking into the water helped to beach the boat. He was found to be a sailor by the name of MacKibben. He had spent twenty years in the British navy. he had been in the Arctic ocean on relief vessel, and he had been on oil ships He had come to Macquarie is land on schooner to collect sea ele phant oil and had decided to remain. His companions endeavored to dissuade him. but he was obstinate. Stores were left for him and the schooner returned to New Zealand.
 Captain Davis found him comfort ably housed. His hut had two rooms and each had a stove. He had plenty of ship stores and for fresh meat he used the hearts and tongues of sea elephants. He carried his coal from its depot four miles away. The men of the Nimrod l to persuade him to return 1 with them. but he refused.
 Why should I?" he asked. T am | happy enough here and l have all I l want I'm glad to have seen you. but 1, I don't want tO leave the island"
 As we steamed away" Captain | Davis wrote. we dipped our flag to the | old man. who waved farewell to us | from the beach"
 Presumably he has been visited since then. The old schooner was due for another visit to the island and Mac k ibben may have tired of solitude and sea elephants or he may not.-Chicago
