property. This sum will be about suf-

Der OF special officers have been added

been threatened many times, but so far
there has been no violence, with the
exception or numerous flrsteuffs, but Il
is believed that violence has been pre-

YEAR JUST CLOSED
PROVED PROSPEROUS
FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
Summary Of Affairs Of 1910 In
Coyote State-Death Of
Some Notable Men.

Pierre, S. d., Jan. 4. The closing
year has been notably free, in South
Dakota, of incidents OF exceptional
news interest. II has been year with,
put sensation of any magnitude. The
politics OF 1910 will be longest remem-
bered and the campaign of George w,
Egan for governor in the June primary
will, perhaps. be the incident of the
political history most deeply impressed
upon the recollection OF the people.
The aggregate crop has been good.
heaping some sections with a super
abundance. while other portions Of the
state have had less than an average
and few localities feel the pinch OF
crop failure. Not that crop failure
Is any more the sign OF distress and
restitution which was certain to follow
I'm the pioneer days. Crops are an in
cident now where they were the sole
dependence in the early days.
Big Reserve Piled Up.
The settlers upon the new home
steads, too, have come with a different
notion from the plans of the older pio-
neers. Almost without exception the
early settler came with the breaking
pillow and turned over all of the sod
possible and hurried into wheat grow
ing. The new settler comes to farm
with the sod on" and only breaks up a
very little, placing his dependence upon
fiNt Stoch, WnicH pTosperS upon the
range. On the whole the state has
piled up tremendous reserve. Nearly
S10.000,000 has been added to the bank
deposits during the year. The farm
produce OF the year is worth $1S1,0 00,-
600, and there are only 5S3,SSS people
among whom to divide it.
The assessed value of the property OF
the people continues to show progress
I've growth each year. and for 1910
reached figure much greater than
ever before. being placed at $337,702,-

value. or fortunte of about $2,325 for

A meeting has been called for Wed. uesday night at which it is hoped that plans will be formulated to es- tablish test mill here in Skagway, It is expected that there will be a large turnout and that all the little private grievances will be left at home in the storm cellar so that Skagway may once more be united on something that means for the welfare of the entire community.

sKAewAYs CHANCE

A movement is under way which if successfully cousumated means more for bc welfare of Skagway and the surrounding country Jaap anything of Import to receive Jbc attention ol our people since ue advent of the rsilroad.
 Skagways location as the sa,e city to the upper Yukon. the Atau country, the Whi,edorse territory, the KIuaue section and other miuera. zones on ue Canadian side; her close proximity to lbe Beruers Bay section, and he Porcupiue country back oI uaiues, makes the place an ideal one for the establishment og a samplug mill for the testing of ores.
 The duls adjacent to shagway are also impresaaJed with muera, bear ing rocas, in many instances are known to be velLdeaued veins carry ing good values so far as assay re- ports are concerned. Indeed there are some lelges or sumgegs within ueo miles of the town which carry rock showing free gold which is plainly disceruabIe without the use of the glass. It would seem to the ordinary observer that where ore sam pies og this nature showing gold, can be obtained right og, the ledge. that powder and drills should be in more demand than assay reports, which at best are often misleading,
 It has been suggested that Skagway make ae effort to establish this test mill The first cost will not be so burdeusome but Jbat the town can bear it. And with our magasi- cent water and power supply the cost og maiu,asDeuoe can be kept within lbe bounds of reason
 IJ is the firm belief of numbers of mining men to whom the subject has been preached that Che mill will be a great help not only to this com muuy but that all the surrounding territory will be benefited. It is a certainty that it would awaken inter est not only in the town but would stimulate Che efforts of prospectors in the entire region.
 Build this miu and Skagway's hills will swarm wih prospecJors and the country wiu echo with the canuouad- ing Of he giant blasts as the holes are bored toward the goal Of perm sneut prosperity. And as the months roll around our little mill will have grown into an institution of greater importance and many stamps will be pounding out the wealth that is ours for the taking.

BARNUM MAY COME IN.
Circus License VIII Be the Same as
for the Rest.

The city commissioners have decided
TO allow Barnum & Bailey's circus to
enter Topeka for a license of $500 in
stead OF the old charge of $500. The
old ordinance was amended today
and from the talk among the commits
sioners it will be amended again Mon
day.
Secretary Cook of the state fair
recommended that the change be
made. 1t seems that the Barnum &
Bailey people are assisting in the ad-
Vertising of the state fair.
Commissioner Tandy is opposed to
the license reduction. Furthermore,
he intends to make an attempt Mon
day to change tOday's order.
Commissioner Bone favors the tax
ing of the circus by the car. Tandy
says if that ordinance is passed the
circuses will double up their stuff and
keep number of cars out of the city

they would go down to the wharf to
meet John, and what they would have
for dinner, and all the dear delicious
details of his Homecoming.
During this planning, grandfather
was strangely unenthusiastic. Il
wouldn't plan too much, mother" he
would urge. Suppose the ship is late,
or something"
Grandmother thought all this very
strange, for grandfather WASH usually
a wet blanket; but she laid it to an un
suspected streak of superstition, and
let it go at that.
When the ship was actually sighted
in the harbor, grandfather acted even
more strangely than before. He didn't
want grandmother to lay out the boil
ed shirt" she had ready for John, and
he wouldn't even let her go to the
wharf with him.
So he went alone to meet John. And
by and by he came back in a carriage
with John with his leg in a plaster
cast and his young face all pale and
wan and thin, and then, of course, the
whole story came out.
1t seemed that some months before
grandfather had gotten word from
vessel which came direct from Cal
cutta instead of by roundabout
route, as Joint ship did. that Johns
ship was about to sail with all on
board except the ships carpenter, who
had had some kind of an accident and
had to be left behind. And John was
the ships carpenter
AS a matter of fact. the report had
been correct about the accident, but
not about Johns being LETT behind. He
had risen out of bed in the hospital the
day the ship sailed and insisted on be-
ing taken home.
And all these months grandfather
had been bearing that anxiety alone.
All the family asked MIN why he
didn't tell them, and he just said.
What good would it have done?
would have told you if yot could have
helped but you couldn't 1t would
have made you worry"
Do you know that story is as in
spring to me as a story of real physi-
cal heroism.
felt new respect for and pride in
my grandfather when I heard it. And
more than that. a new shame for my
own weakness in sharing anxieties.
That is why 1 have repeated this bit
of family history to you.
What good would it have done p
said grandfather, simply
What good does it do for any of US
to darken someone eIse's heart with
the anxiety that is overshadowing our
own?

COOKIES FRESH FROM THE
OVEN. CRISP AND DELICIOUS.

How often do you serve cookies ?
Every meal, perhaps, and they are
probably factory cookies ordered
from the grocer.
Think how much nicer it would
be to have cookies, just as nice or
nicer and have them fresh from the
ovens.
We make almost two dozen varie-
ties of cookies, pastry slices, bars,
etc. You'll Immediately appreciate
the difference between these fresh.
wholesome, lately baked cookies, as
compared with those which are bak-
ed many weeks before and kept
many weeks in a grocery before they
reach you.
Among the favorite varieties are
lemon snaps, cocoa-butter, sugar
top. caraway, oatmeal and vanilla
cookies, peanut bars, honey tumble.
fig slices, currant, fruit and labe
cookies. Besides these are iced tea
cakes, hermits, spiced and plain cup
cakes and many more
The majority Of these sell at 10c
per dozen and they are all good size
Buy your cookies fresh from this
big variety; you will like them best,
once you try them.

BY RUTH CAMERON.

An old aunt of ours paid US a visit
last week. and during her stay told me
the following little story about my
grandfather which I venture to think
worth repeating.
Grandfather's oldest son vas in his
early youth a ships carpenter.
His first long voyage was to Calcutta.
He was gone several months, and when
it came time for him to return, grand

sorts of preparations. Days before the
