The Vanishing Range

Whitewood-With the passing Of
the range and the adoption Of the
herd law, many farmers who have
been deriving a part Of their living
from the range cattle business, must
turn their efforts into another source
It has long been recognized that the
herd law for the whole state was but
q question Of time, yet some of the
old-time ranchers were loath to give
up the range as long as the last ves-
tige of it survived, and chung to the
range cattle business as to other fast
vanishing customs of the old-time
West. Now they are forced to change
and those in a position to know, de-
clare that it can but result in general
benefit to the country, for the small
farmer who works his land on the
intensive plan almost invariably gets
large profits and picks up the loose
ends.

New Telephone Taxation

Pierre-The telephone companies
doing business in South Dakota will
find themselves on a different tax
alton basis from this time on, I'M
der provisions Of the new law fixing
the manner of their assessment. Up
to the present taxes have been levied
against the telephone systems OF the
state at fiat rate equal to the aver
age assessment. over the. state, and
have run from rs mills tt" % mills an
nually on the valuation placed upon
the companies by the state board. But
from this time on the assessments
against such property will be local and
the companies will be called upon to
pay the same taxation rate upon their
property as do other property owners
in the different taxing districts in
which they operate. That is, in a town
they will be taxed at just the same
rate as is other property in that town:
and in the country districts, whatever
property they own within separate
taxing district will pay the same rates
as all other property in that district.

Capt. Daniel Willard.

ed more like Lincoln than any man he
had ever seen, and thousands Of per-
sons up and down the Atlantic coast.
in every part of which "Cap'n Dan'l" is
known, have made the same remark.
AS 1t happens, Captain Willard
never saw President Lincoln. SO he
can only imagine by comparison OF pic
lures, how much he resembles him.
The captain has navigated the Allan
tic coast in sailing vessels ever since
boyhood. and once he went up the Po-
tomac within q few miles of Washing
ton, but that's the nearest he ever
came to the capital.
For 63 years Of his II Captain VIII
lard has been at sea in the coastwise
trade. He never fought under the
commander-in-chief whom he so much
resembles. but for two years he was
engaged in mounting guns in different
forts along the coast during. the Civil
war.
1t is q strange coincidence that of
three times he has been shipwrecked,
once was February IL, the date Of
Lincoln's birth, and once April IL, the
date Of his assassination.

built Immediately to replace the
passenger station destroyed by fire
last fall. The new structure will occu-

up by the passenger station and the
freight depot, which was burned at the
same time, and the freight depot to
be erected will be on a site one block
farther west. The grounds not occu-
pied by the new station will be park
ed. The new building is to be a credit
to the city and up to the requirements
of Aberdeen as an important station
on the Milwaukee line, and will be so
built that additions can be built as
the growth of the city and the bust
ness Of the road require them.

Heinz Gets Life Sentence

Fl. William Heinz in the
Stanley county court here, was to-
day given a life sentence on his
plea Of guilty on the charge Of hav-
ing murdered Ralph Miles.
The prisoner was cool when taken
into court and showed no trace of ex-
element over what his fate was to
be. After the sentence was pronounc-
ed he remarked that it was pretty
severe, but it might have been worse.
Heinz will be taken to the peniten-
tiary in a few days to begin his term.
Following family trouble in which
William Heinz charged Ralph Miles
with causing alienation OF his wife's
affections, Miles was found dead
his homestead shanty with three bullet
holes in his body.
A shattered window indicated that
the first shot was fired through the
window. Heinz had made threats
against Miles and was arrested on sus-
picion. After being declared sane by
a jury he entered plea Of guilty
to the charge of murder.

MISS JEWELL RETlREs
ChiIdren's Home Loses a Capable and
Devoted Worker

ChiIdrsn's Home Loses Capable and
Devoted Worker
Sioux Falls-In a recent issue the
Deadwood Pioneer-Times pays the
following tribute to Miss Allie Jew
ell who has done such good work
in the western portion of the state rs
representative of the Children's Home
at Sioux Falls:
Though many of them are yet too
young to realize it, the homeless chill
dren of South Dakota have suffered a
distinct loss which is shared by thou
sands Of the older residents in the
announcement that Miss Allie Jewell,
the western representative of the Chill
drens' Home of Sioux Falls is about
to sever her connection with the
work.
Miss Jewell has yielded to that
national cry of back to the farm and
after twelve years OF activity in a
field that returns little remuneration
beside the satisfaction of assisting in
q great work for humanity, has decid-
ed to try the delights Of ranching and
will become q homesteader near Lew
iston, Mont.
Miss Jewell first associated her
self with the work OF the Chffdrens'
Homo in 1896, when W. b. Sherrard
was the superintendent 1t was a
work to which she was peculiarly
adapted and she soon became inter-
ested in the opportunity to better the
conditions Of the hundreds of little
waits and orphans that are found in
every community. Possessed of good
judgment, charm Of personality and
a ready wit that tided her over all
emergencies, Miss Jewell put her
whole heart into the work which calls
for a tireless energy that would soon
cool the ardor of any but an enthuiast.
It became her duty to go where she
was called. investigate the cases re-
ported, decide upon the emergency
and then to represent the Home in any
legal actions that might be necessary
in the premises, either in taking chill
dren from unworthy parents or i'm
proper atmospheres, or completing
their adoption into homes where the
lisp of baby lips and the clasp OF a
little childs arms, brought the one
note of harmony that was lacking In
the lives of two people.
Twelve years ago Miss Jewell was
given charge of the western portion
of the state in this work. 1t has re-
CURED many weary miles of travel by
day and night in stuffy coaches on all
railroad lines, without the luxuries of
Pullman sleepers, hard rides into DESC
late sections of the country in all
kinds of weather, the constant care OF
children of all conditions and moods
and not infrequently the personal ex-
hortation of charitably inclined citi-
zens for the maintenance of the work.
In all this time Miss Jewell has han
died to exceed one thousand children
whose lives have been made brighter
through her efforts and when on
April / she bids farewell to Super
intendent Stuckeman OF the Home, 1t
will be with consciousness of work

Died Of Shot Wound

Belle Fourche-While carrying a
shotgun on a tramp over the hills,
Francis ]. Quirk, a rancher west OF
here, stumbled and the gun in dis
charging, sent a charge through his
intestines, which a few hours later,
caused his death. Quirk was found
an hour after the accident happened
by a cousin who had heard the shot
and went to investigate and although
everything was done for the injured
man, who was brought here in an
auto, he passed away. Quirk was 80
years old and is survived by a wife
and six children. He was a native of
Charlotte. Ia, and for some years liv-
ed at Mitchell.

A great many people go on suffering

staple and they lift the product out Of
the bolls without injuring the plant.
One of the greatest difficulties that
was met with in perfecting this me-
chanical picker. was to SO regulate the
machinery as to not harm the unripe
cotton bolls.
It was demonstrated that this ma
chine can pick 225 pounds of cotton in
30 minutes in an ordinary field. At
this rate 1t would pick nearly bale of
cotton in an hour. In other words, 1t
does the work of fifteen or twenty
ordinary field hands. The services of
only one man is required to operate
the machine. Part Of the time another
man Is required to unload the bags
of cotton as fast - they are filed.

ROckham-A west-bound freight
train set fire to the prairie few miles
northwest of Rockham, and for time
there was great excitement. The fire
spread rapidly because of the high
wind and soon had extended over
quite scope of country. Several au-
tomobile loads of Rockham men went
to the scene of the fire, and with the
aid of scores of farmers succeeded in
saving farm buildings which were
threatened. After sweeping about half
a mile into Hand county the fire was
extinguished. Much damage was done
to hay and pasture land.

THE DEAR OLD FARM
BY Legislative Enactment Distinctive
Names are Protected

~ Legislative GUaCtTT1cUt OiotupSuv0
Names are Protected
Pierre-Two acts Of the last legis
lative session, If carried out in their
intent will give more individuality to
school and farm life in this ctate,
and the probability is that when the
laws 60 into effect the first of July
there will be general movement to-
ward their observance.
One Of these is senate bill 122 by
Weaver, which authorizes owners Of
ranches and farms in the state to
give them distinctive names, and have
the same registered in the Office Of
the clerk Of courts of the county in
which the farm or ranch is located.
The registration is to show the To-
cality and name selected, and the
name when registered gives the one
registering an exclusive right to that
name in the county in which he lives.
While some land owners have given
names to their farms. anyone else
whose fancy might be attracted by
such name could use the same causing
confusion, but when a loyal and ex-
elusive designation can be made no
doubt most Of the farms Of the state
will in the course Of a year or two
have a name by which 1t will be gen.
orally known in all thecommunity,
and be as definitely located by name
as any town or postofflce in the coun-
ty.
Another act. house bill 90, by Par
sons, allows the patrons of any school
district Of the state to select dis
tinctive name, and register the same
with the county superintendent OF
schools of the county. in a book to
be kept for that purpose, and when
district so registers a name it has
an exclusive right to the same for the
county in which it is located.
This will also give distinctive le-
gal name to the different school dis
tricts, and most of them will be names
which will attract by their pleasing
euphony rather than the weired names
which often attach to districts, and
grow as time goes on, so strong that
it is hard to shake them off,.
