LAND OWNERS HOPEFUL.
Prospects for Land in Belle Fourche
irrigation Zone Excellent.

Belle Fourche.-Land owners under
the Belle FourChe irrigation project
are looking forward to a year of large
returns from their farms the coming
season. Already more than $4,000
acre feet of water is stored in the
big Reservoir. This is more than has
ever been stored before and daily the
amount is being increased. Both the
Belle Fourche and the Redwater rivers
are furnishing good flows Of water
and the melting snow in the noun
tains promises a considerable rise in
the next week or two.
There is every prospect that there
will be a superabundanCe of water for
all the lands under ditch the coming
summer. The heavy SHOWS of the past
two weeks have kept the sheep men
guessing, but the warm weather is
bringing the bare ground in sight and
setting them at ease.

Shattered in Wheat Bin.

Salem.-A young man named WILL
lam Frick met with a tragic death
here. Prick, who was a carpenter,
was at work In m of the grain bins
in the big elevator. Other workmen
we're looking after some repairs in
another bin. The bin in which Frick
was at work was filled with wheat.
The workmen in the adjoining bin
were attracted by Tricks calls for
help. One of the mmebers ran to his
assistance and found him being sucked
down by the wheat. He tried to at
tract the attention of the engineer
but distance was too great. Finally
one of the men ran to the engine room
and had the machinery stopped. They
then returned to the bin and all that
could be seen of Frick was his hands.
He was gotten out as soon as possible,
but life was extinct, he having been
smothered to death.

Flour Mill Is to Run.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS citizens are
much pleased with the present pros,
poets for the reopening and operating
Of the Touring mill in this city, which
has been idle for a number of years.
The mill was built by James Baynes
and Andrew Night in 1882 and OBJ.
Grated by Mr.. Night until 1903 when
the property was purchased by Min.
nesota parties, and later by r. H.
Clark. then a resident of this country.
and by whom the mill was completely
rebuilt, refurnished and successfully
operated for a number of years. Three
years ago, owing to legal compiled.
tons the mill was closed and has not

old, all trace of the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in
