The outfit consisted of between 400 and 600 head of cattle and the old Cliff ranch on Beaver Head. The price was said to be we'll up in money, but no definite figures were given. Mir. Thurston has not decided as to what he will do, but like all cew owners, it is probable that he will want to hear the bleat of the festive calf again.
 Mohave County Miner: One hundred thousand sheep are on the way to Kingman, where they will be sheared. Part of the focks are coming in from the south, while the greater part are on the way from the Seligman country direct to this place. The shearing pens have been prepared near the old Y and the boarding house for the men is ready to do business. Gaddis < Perry company has the contract for supplies. It is expected that at least half million pounds of wool will be sheared and shipped from Kingman to the eastern securing mills. The sheep men have been looking over the ranges in and around Kingman and are pleased with the heavy growth of grass and weeds that have sprung mp since the rains.

Is Penny Postage Coming?

1t is announced from Wash.
lngton that President Taft will
recommend penny postage, in hit
n4Xt message to congress-, anG
that the postoffice department
will give the project it's backing
1t is declared that penny postage
can be established without Great
ing a deficit in the department,
If the magazines are compelled
to pay their fair share of the
postage, and the charge of carry
ing the mails is reduced and pro
perly distributed. 1t is the con-
tention of the postmaster general
that the government is now pay
ling nine millions a year to the
railroads, over a fair compensa

little. When this is remedied
the foundation will be we'll laid
for penny postage which has beea

The Tramp Problem.

The tramp problem is both
Large and expensive. 1t costs
the state of New York something
like $2,oo0,0o0 every year to look
after it's Weary Willies,'' and
there is an additional annual loss
to the state Of something like
$lO,OOO,O0O through the robberies
fires and depredations for which
the fraternity is responsible.
Many attempts have been made
to solve the problem, but they
have touched only the edge of
it. Laaming from what has been
30 successfully done in several
European countries, notably Swift
zerland, it is now proposed to
start farm colonies and set tramps
to work that they may be pro-
ducers as we'll as consumers. The
plan if it is put in execution, viii
be watched with interest, for any
thing that will convert the shift
less, indolent and aften dangerous
hobo into a self-respecting and
serviceable member of society

TWO NEW LAWS
Which Are of General Interest
to the Public.

Thel new laws enacted by the
lhst Legislature became effective
Saturday, July lst. OF these
new laws two are of quite gener-
al interest. One relates to, the
frequenting of billiard and pool
halls by boys under 1S years of
age. In times past, this matter
has been Left entirely to the cities
and villages to regulate and
handle, which forbid boys from
playing on the tables, but did not
keep them out Of the halls. Here
after, however, it will be dif-
ferent. Violation OF the new law
either by the minor or the man
hger of the halls punishable
by fine of from $40 to $25 for
the first offense, and for succeed
ing qffenses by a. fine of $25 to
800, or Imprisonment up to 80
days, or both fine and imprison-
ment.
The other new law refers to
the throwing of glass and bottles
ON public highways, and makes
all such actions misdeme anors
subject to a fine of from SIS to
$25. This applies not only to
public streets, but also to alleys
and adj public grounds.

Got to Come to 1t.

1t is one Of the astonishing
circumstances connected with
South Dakota that little on no
progress is being made in dairy
ing. We are no further along jn
this industry than we were five
years ago except for the increasea
price OF the product, and it is
doubtful if there are any more
COWS in the dairy farm than
there were then. The Pierre
Dakotan notes that while all sorts
of beef cattle are exhibited at the
state fair it is a rare thing to
find a good dairy COW there.
Everyone realizes that dairying
must be the ultimate agricultural
resource of this region, but no
one will go into it so long as
there are other means of making
money that do not involve such
confining labor as must be devot-
ed to the dairy industry.

A YEAR IN THE PEN.

A man by the name of Bob
Miller was brought to Sisseton,
on Thursday morning of last
week, by Deputy Sheriff Jake
Duggan, charged with attempted
rape on the person of Ellen
Adams, the 5-year-old daughter
of Mrs. George Adams. The
crime was committed during the
course of the Indian celebration
held at Red Thunder church on
the night Of July 5. On Tuesday
of this week, Sheriff Swanson
took Miller to Webster, where a
term of the circuit court is in
session. The prisoner pleaded
guilty to assault with intent to

to a year in the state peniten-
tiary.

He Went to the Hay.

Joseph, the little son of MIR.
and Mrs. w. II. DeArmet, caus-
ed considerable commotion in the
vicinity of the family residence,
Tuesday evening when he failed
to show up for the nightly ablu-
tlon, the evening prayer and the
good night kiss-not to mention
his night shirt. Little Joe had
been hitting the high spots in the
play business, since suppertime.
and along about dusk, when the
Sand Man made his usual visit
atlon, he found Joe up i'm the
loft OF Bert Horton S barn, so
the young gentleman snuggled
down in the hay and proceeded
to indulge himself i'm much de-
smed sleep. And that was where
his parents found him along
about 10 O'Clock p. m., after
two hours of anxious, nerve
racklng search. And if you
think for a minute they weren It
glad to find their Little Boy
Blue-well, you've got another
guess coming.

MENTALLY UNBALANCED
Farmer Goes Crazy on Religion
and Love and Will Be Taken
to Yankton Asylum.

Andrew Strand, a farmer Of
Hart township, was brought to
Sisseton, Saturday, suffering
from a severe case Of mental alb
beration. On Saturday afternoon
his case was looked into by the
board of insanity, and he was
adjudged insane and ordered
committed to the asylum at
Yankton, to which place he will
be taken by the proper officials
in due course of time. In the
meantime, he is confined in the
county Jail. Strands derange-
ment was brought about by too
much pondering on the subject of
religion, coupled with a disap-
pointment in a love affair. His
case is said to be a hopeless one.

Talking About It.

The latest hot weather advice

Weather. That sounds pretty
good and what a change it would
make in the conversation on a
hot day. 1t is a safe wager that
ninety-nine out Of a hundred men
whom you meet ON a real hot day
will make some remark about the
heat before they say anything
else. This keeps you constantly
reminded Of your discontinue,
and we are always more uncom-
Portable when dwelling upon any
thing that annoys us. People
have been able to forget pain
temporarily while listening to a
bright or humorous remark or
taking part in interesting conver-
sation on some other subject.
But just imagine two portly
men meeting on the street when
the thermometer is at 80 and the
sun is doing-well, angels could
do no more. They have deter
mined to steer clear Of the hot
