FISH DYING IN

In the early days Lake Oakwood
was filled with a choice variety of
fish, but during the dry years the
lake nearly dried up and froze over so
that the fish were nearly all de-
strOyed. Then during the wet years
of six or seven years ago the lake
again filled up SO that there was quite
a stream flowing out in to the Sioux
river furnishing a passage for the fish
to go up into the lake, and by secur-
ing a supply from the government
fishery the lake has been stocked
again with a good supply of fish. Fish
cannot live without air and the lake
having frozen over this winter with
no outlet on account of last year be-
ing dry, there is danger of the fish
all dying for want of air. Application
was made to the fish and game war
den for permission to cut air holes
referred to the county commissioners
who We're applied to, but the request
was denied. 1t is said that the fish
are dying by the thousands and it
seems too bad not only on account
of losing the fish, but their dying in
great numbers will be very detrimen-
tai to the health of those living near
the lake e Summer.-Bruce Her

WINS.

The supreme court in an opinion
written by Judge Smith upholds the
lower court in regard to the removal
of the Hamiin county seat from Cas-
tlewood TO Hayti and restraints the
county officers from transferring the
records TO the newly chosen county
seat.
The election which resulted in ia
vor of the town of Hayti, is being
contested and the action was caused
by the statute which requires county
officers to remove TO the new county
seat within thirty days after an cleo
ton and making it an offense for a
county officer to remain away from
the county seat.
The contest proceedings made it
impossible to decide which of the
towns was the county sea and the
circuit court issued a writ of prohi-
bition restraining the removal of the
county offices.
This was objected to by the resi-
dents of Hayti and action was com
menced to set aside the writ of prohi-
bition and compel the transfer of the
records prior TO the determining of
the contest.
The decision is a victory for Hon.
Philo Hall of this city, who has
charge of Castlewood's interests.

state. They played last night at
Lake Preston and tonight they are
billed for Huron and Friday night for
Miller. Saturday night they give a
concert at Pierre and Sunday noon
they play at the Locke hotel while
they are feeding the legislators and
other animals. Monday evening they
return to DeSmet and Tuesday night
they appear at Arlington. Then they
come home to spend the rest of the
week with their studies, giving a con-
cert here on Friday evening, the 18th.
Watertown will be visited the 21st
and Estelline the 22nd. The party
will consist of seventeen people, in
Guiding Impresario Akin. The tour,
which will be al annual event, will
be OF considerable value to the col
lege as al advertisement, as 1t will
demonstrate to the people of the state
that the college turns out musicians as

be considerable building n Bookings
this year and the city should enjoy

tractors tell us, and there is prospects
of one or more business blocks being

STOCK SHOW IS
A BIG SUCCESS
GOOD MEETING AND SALE HELD
AT MITCHELL.
SECRETARY WILSON "CANED'
RESOLUTION is PASSED URGING
COLLEGE APPROPRIATION.

The annual meeting and sale of the
South Dakota Breeders Association
was held at Mitchell last week and
was a very successful affair. The at
tendance was large and the associa-
ton was not handicapped by poor
weather, as was the case last year
when the meeting was held in this
city. AS a result the sale was a good
one
A resolution was adopted, although
not unanimously by any means, max
ing Mitchell the permanent home of
the annual sale and meeting. Michel
was in her own bailwick and had
enough Of her supporters on hand to
push the measure through. Mitchell
is undoubtedly the best place for the
meeting, on account of location and
hotel accommodations, but the pro-
ceedings looked to be a little high
handed, nevertheless.
The sale of the horses, sheep and
hogs attracted a crowd of over 500
men. Three horses of the Percheron
type sold for $1,000, and ten head of
Shropshire sheep sold for 1920. The
forty-four head Of hogs, comprising
Duroc-Jerseys, Poland Chinas and
Chester White brought in round mum
bers $4,000, the Durocs topping the
market at 1925 a head, and averaging
$59.40.
The average of teh sales We're as
follows: Horses. $437; Red polled
cattle, sos; Aberdeen Angus, $50;
Shorthorns, $126; Herefords, STA;
red hogs, $50; black hogs, $53; white
hogs, $44.
This year the swine men of the
state amalgamated with the stock as
sociation and discontinued their an
nual meetings and sales, believing
that they could do better with the
stronger organization than by the
smaller one.

WILL DEVELOP
Ignite BEDS
MILLIONS CAN BE SAVED FOR
THE PEOPLE.
Wesley STARTS MOVEMENT
GOVERNOR BELIEVES COAL BEDS
ARE OF IMMENSE VALUE.

If a movement inaugurated by Gov.
Nessey is carried to a successful con-
clusion the people of South Dakota
will each year save an aggregate sum
of $4,000, 900 in the cost of fuel. says
a Sioux Falls dispatch.
The governor proposes that the
great Ignite Goa mines which are
known to exist over an extensive area
in the northwestern part of the state,
near the Montana and North Dakota
borders, be developed in a practical
manner He has investigated the mat
ter and declares that this coal, after
being briquetted, can be placed on
board cars for SO per tor and de
livered to consumers anywhere in the
state at a cost of not to exceed So
per ton. At present the coal bill of
the people Of South Dakota amounts
in the aggregate to $4,000, coo per year.
An investigation of these Ignite
coal beds was made last season by a
par ~ vi competent men, dClllS ullhC
the direction of Dean +. c. Perisho,
Of the State University at Nermillion,
who also is state geologist of South
Dakota. Prof. b. A. Iverson, also of
the State University, has special
charge of the work on the Ignite coal
beds. A preliminary report of the re-
suit of the investigation now has been
made.
The party entered the state at its
extreme northwestern corner. The
territory west of the Little Missouri
river was worked as far south as
Camp Crook. Then a swing was made
10 the north. OF the seventy-four
townships of Harding county the par
ty worked in all but five.
Prof. Iverson found that good
seams of Ignite coal underlie much Of
the area, and outcrop along the larger
streams and about the buttes, espe-
cially the Slim Buttes and Cave Hills.
Seams of from seven to ten feet thick
are not infrequent, and some even
thicker occur. However, due to the
general absence of a rock roof, tun-
neling cannot be cheaply done. The
coal burns readily after being once
started and gives much heat.
At present there is only one mine
with a tunnel-Hilton's, at the South
Cave Hills. The scores of other lig-
mite mines are only pits. Practically
every resident of an extensive area in
that part of the state burns the lig-
mite coal, since it is more convenient
and cheaper than wood. In most
places it can be had for the digging
and hauling, or at most for 50 a ton,
loaded in the purchasers wagon.
The presence of the Ignite coal
beds proves of great benefit to the
homesteaders who have occupied that
region, and solves one of the most
difficult problems which settlers in a
new region have to confront-the Sc
curing of a cheap and convenient
fuel supply to keep the settlers from
suffering during the excessive cold
weather of winter.
Following the suggestion of Gov.
Vessey it is believed some plan will
be adopted to mine the coal on a
large scale and ship it to all parts
of the state, so the people of the state
generally will be benefited by the
presence of the apparently inexhaust
ible Ignite coal beds within the Dor
ders of the state.

WIDENING OF SPRING ROAD
PROPOSED BY SURVEYOR
District Official Would Improve Picturesque
Driveway Across North
End of City.

built up. 1t will not be such an expen-
sive matter to condemn the necessary
ground to get the width desired. The
District authorities already have the right
to condemn the short stretch of land
which separates the eastern end OF
Spring road from New Hampshire ave-
nue.. and when that is done and the road
widened there will be a new highway
stretching all the way from New Hamp-
shire avenue and Georgia avenue to the
bridge across the Piney branch on the
line of 10th street.
But that will not be the western limit
of the widened highway If Mr.. HaZen $
ideas arc carried out. He proposes to
continue the road beyond the Sixteenth
Street bridge and along the edge of the
parkway. which belongs to the public.
and extends at width OF about 40 feet
from 10th street to Rock Creek Park
This is in the picturesque ravine Of Piney
branch.
In thus providing a new opening into
Rock Creek Park Surveyor Hazen will
increase the interest in the drives about
the city, for this will add q most at
tractiye one to the list, and besides he
will make much more accessible the beau
tiful pleasure ground of Rock Creek Park.
A further feature of interest lies in the
fact that Spring road is proposed as the
southern boundary for a portion OF the
addition to the park between Georgia
avenue and 18th street. where the hospi-
tai under the management CT the District
authorities is located. With the extern
sion of these grounds the Piney branch
locality will remain to please the lovers
of nature.

ance of appeal for the woman worker.
Numerous efforts have been made re-
Gently among the alumni of won1en's col
leges to enlarge in practical way the
openings for women who are looking Tor
employment and particularly for educated
women upon whom the schools have al
ways drawn heavily for their quota OF
instructors. No attemr.t for discouraging
the choice of the teachers profession is
intended where there are natural desire
and aptness for the work. But the move
ment does recognize the fact that too
many women are yearly forced into the
schools primarily because that is the
easiest and most lucrative employment
accessible to woman graduates who have
living to make. This condition is as
harmful for the schools as for the women
who find in them disinterested and mo-
notonous occupation. 1t is this more than
the mere fact of the preponderance OF
woman teachers which has led to the cry
of the feminizing Of the schools. Women
who are interested in the work of teach
ing and who have the natural qualifica-
tons and the necessary education will
find the calling pleasant and desirable
one and will measure UP to the require
ments of the classroom. The weak point
about the whole matter is the tendency
for all women to go into the schools. sims
ply because they do not find openings i'll
other business or professions.
