Millions Of 1910 NickeIs

Washington, d. c., May H.
Some lively joker in the middle
west has caused the banks, the
treasury, the secret service and a
lot of other folks a heap of trouble
by spreading a story that the
government coined no nickels in
1910 and that every 5 cent piece
in circulation bearing that date
must therefore be q counterfeit.
The fact are that the mints clinked
Of S0,169,363 nickels, real and
genuine, during 1910, and about
81, 100000 worth of these coins are
in circulation. For the last two
days the mint bureau and the
secret service have been besieged
with calls for help from banks OF
the middle west. Many of the
genuine coins have been turned
into Washington as counterfeits.

When Living Was Cheap

In delving into the ancient re-
cord in it's search for interesting
facts to stimulate the coming half
century jubilee, the Yankton Press
and Dakotan has fallen upon an
advertisement published in 1879
that refers to the good old times
when it didn't seem to take all a
busy man could rustic to buy food
for the family. The Yankton
advertiser announces that he is
prepared to sell
Tenderloins for 3 1-2 cents per
pound.
Pork steak for 4 cents per pound.
Scrap meat for 2 cents per pound.
Sausage in bulk for 6 cents per
pound.
Sausage in casing for Z cents
per pound.
Pigs feet for | cent apiece.
Lard in pals for 8 cents per
pound.
Leaf lard for 7 cents per pound.
Ribs for 2 cents per pound.
Shoulders for cents per pound.
These are quotations for Janu-
ary day in 1879 and the figures
give an impression that it was
easy living in those times. But
memory tells another tale.
Farmers were few and far be-
tween, business centers were mere
hamlets. The territory had just
emerged from it's fear of grass
hopper raids and was beginning
to gain confidence in the soil that
has since made the two Dakotas
wealth producing commonwealths.
Though a man could carry home
a pigs foot for cent, he had to
look around a long time before he
discovered the whereabouts of the
cent. The Huronite.

STANDARD MUST DISSOLVE
Supreme Court Declares Trust A Con-
spiracy and Combination

Washington, May 1.-THE Stan
dard Oil Company of New Jersey,
and its nineteen subsidiary corpor-
ations were declared by the su-
preme court of the United States
to be conspiracy and a combina-
tion in restraint of trade. They
we're also held 30 be monopolizing
interstate commerce in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law, and the
dissolution of the combination was
ordered to take place within six
months Thus ended the terminus
of the struggle of the government
to legally stop a combination
claimed to be a menace to the in
dustrial and economic advance
ment of the entire country. The
opinion of the court, announced
by Chief Justice White, contained
more than twenty thousand words.
The court interpreted the Sher-
man law to limit its application to
acts of undue restraint of trade
and not every restraint of trade.
The most famous men of the coun-
try heard the decision. Senators
and representatives were present,
also Attorney General Wickersham
and Frak B. Kellogg, special coun-
sci for the government. None of
the corporations council was
present.

Saloons In Maine

When fire devastated the city of
Bangor, Me-, a few days ago, the
first official act of the mayor was
to order the saloons to close. In
almost any city this would have
been regarded merely as an ordin-
ary police precaution, and would
have occasioned no comment, but
in this particular instance it has
served to call attention to the fact
that saloons actually exist in one
of the chief cities of a state famous
for the ironclad character of its
prohibitory law.
The Bangor incident furnishes
the reason that has finally forced
the resubmission of the prohibition
question to the voters of Maine.
1t has been demonstrated apparent
ly to the satisfaction of the people
of that state that prohibition can
not be enforced in the larger cities
and towns. 1t has been found
effective in the rural regions, where
public sentiment upholds it, but in
the cities it has produced a condi-
tion of law violation and scandalous
official corruption.
The republican party in Maine
has long been the friend of the
prohibitory law, and Maine is
traditionally an overwhelmingly
republican state. After many

There had been an epidemic OF
colds in the town, and one physi-
clan who had had scarcely any
sleep for two days called upon a
patient who was suffering from
pneumonia, and as he leaned over
to hear the patients respiration he
called upon Pat to count.
The doctor was so fatigued that
he fell asleep, with his ear on the
sick mans chest. 1t seemed but a
a minute when he suddenly awoke
to hear Pat still counting: Tin

Getting On The Map

The map of South Dakota must
be revised yearly to keep at all up
to date nowadays. Railroad exten-
sions, opening up Indian reserva-
tions, and organization of new
counties are rapidly transforming
the west half of the state which
was at standstill from 1890 to
1905, into an important part of
the state.
The latest to get into the lime
light is Mellette county. 1t lies
west of Tripp county in the Rose
bud country made noted by the
opening of Gregory and Tripp
counties. The work of allotting
to the Indians will be finished this
summer and the balance thrown
open to settlement in the fall. 1t
will doubtless be under the lottery
plan which has been followed in
all openings for several years past.
Steps have been taken to organ
ize the county and Governor Vessey
has called an election for that pur-
pose on 25th. A ticket of county
officers has been nominated, of
which half are Indians. Among
these are Chief Stranger Horse for
justice, Eddie Dark Face for coron-
er, George Whirlwind Soldier, and
Andrew Night Pipe for justice.
There are two candidates for the
temporary county seat. Wood in
the east central part of the county,
and a new point which is a town in
name only, laid out by the Western
Townsite Company, which located
the towns on the railroad now ex-
tending through Trip county to
the edge of Mellette.
There are now about three hun
dred qualified voters in the county,
of whom only about forty are
white, and the rest Indians.
The first newspaper, the Mellette
County Journal, was launched at
Wood two weeks ago by E. Crook,
owner of the Advocate at Winner.
The other townsite people were
only a week behind with another
paper at their new town. For the
next year or two, Mellette county
will attract much attention. 1t
will become an integral part of the
state and some other new county
will break into the lime light.

DAkOTA'S WONDERFUL Dam
Reclamation Bureau Has Work Nearly
Finished on Great Wall.

VS. ~AS~S w ssAAs
Belle Fourche, May 1S.-Unless
unfavorable weather interferes the
contractors will complete the Belle
Fourche dam early in June. This
structure is one of the spectacular
engineering works of the Reclama-
tion Service, and it's construction
has attracted widespread interest
on the part of engineers from all
parts of the world.
In order to provide storage
reservoir which will control the
flood and normal flow of a whole
river, the government has built an
enormous embankment to close the
depression between two hills.
This wall of earth is 5000 feet
long, with a maximum height of
lis feet. 1t is 20 feet wide on top,
and 500 feet thick at base. Itcon-
contains 800, 900 cubic yards of
material.
After the dam was in place the
water slope was covered with a
layer of carefully screened gravel,
on which was laid a paving of
concrete blocks, each weighing
from 1900 to 5000 pounds. The
nearest gravel pit was IL miles
away, so the contractors set up a
plant at the pit, and built a rail-
road to the dam on which were con-
yeyed the heavy concrete blocks.
A concrete dam across the river
turns the entire stream into a canal
with capacity of 1900 cubic feet
per second, which conveys the
water to the reservoir. The
reservoir when filled is the
largest lake in South Dakota.
From it the principal canals carry
the water to the lrrigable lands in
the beautiful Belle Fourche Valley,
and 100000 acres ultimately will
be supplied.
Settlement has been rapid here
since construction began. Once
the land of the COW boy the valley
has now become a thrifty agricul-
tural community. The opportuni-
ties it offers for the settler, the
merchant and professional man,
are numerous and varied. A large
acreage will be ready for the home
maker in the near future. Three
new towns have risen as if by
magic within the past few years,
affording openings for town people.
A branch railroad has been extend
ed to the limits of the project, fur
nishing excellent transportation
facilities.
Full particulars will be supplied
upon request to the Statistician,
