CONFEDERATION

Fire in Main Business Section of
City Wipe, Out a Number
of Buildings.

Aberdeen, S. d., Jan. 5.-An
explosion in the l.. Pouliot salocn,
200 South Main street, last night
at 1890 caused a fire that de-
stroyed between 500, 900 and $75,-

the principal business blocks OF
this city, destroying four buildings
and doing considerable damage in
adjoining structures.
The explosion took place about

Cold a Blessing aud Comfort.

Do not not grumble about the
present cold snap. 1t is fine
thing for everybody, and the too
general opinion that the coal man
is the only or the chief beneficiary
is all wrong. Cold is an invigo-
r:;tor, a health maker. 1t causes
the blood to flow more swiftly, and
energies human beings, creating
healthy appetites, a liking for
work, and many other desirable
attributes.
The reason South Dakota is the
best state in the Union, and the
people Of the north generally are
more energetic and more effective
than those father south, is due to
the blessings cold weather brings.
1t kills the hockworm the thing
that makes the peoples of equtorial
countries lazy and mo account"
1t creates prudence and foresight,
for northerners have learned
most of them-to provide for win
ter's coming in advance-they
have become forehanded.
Cold destroys disease germs, and
taken by and large, is a benefact-
or, rather than an enemy to man
kind. If you are fit, you will not
complain because of the cold, but
thank your stars you live in a
climate that is invigOrating rather
than enervating; that gives you
the pleasure Of tussling with the
elements in order to secure liveli-
hood and home for your loved
ones. Aberdeen News.

FREE FREIGHT
ON SEED GRAIN
HOmesteaders West of River and
Residents of Four Other
Counties Benefited.

Sioux Falls, Jan. "a sub
stantial New Year present has
been made to the people of that
part of the state lying west of the
Missouri river, and of four
counties lying east of the river, by
the railway companies whose lines
traverse those regions. The pres
ent is in the form of free freight
rates on seed grain which will be
needed for the coming season.
Announcement of the granting
of the free rate is made by DR.. w.
G.. Smith, member of the state
board of railway commissioners,
who has just returned from Chi
cago. The free rate will go into
effect IN a few days. The counties
east Of the Missouri river are
Faulk, Edmunds, Mcpherson and
Walworth. This concession
means much for western South
Dakota, and for the four counties
east of the river, for it enables the
farmers to get free of freight the
best seed grain in the northwest.
The railroads which have con-
sented to grant free freight rates
on seed grain hauled to those por-
tons of South Dakota mentioned
are the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, the Chicago 4 North
western, the Fort Pierre & Rapid
City, the Chicago. Milwaukee &

Sometimes the wailing indicates
genuine grief, and again the
mourner may have an eye to a re-
ward.
New Years day of 1912 was no
exception to its Predecessors in the
exchanging of presents. Magnif-
Gently worked beaded articles. elk
teeth, dresses, moccasins, painted
robes, cattle, ponies, and even
houses were among the things Civ
ell away.
Wasna, or pemmican, being
dried beet or venison, pounded, i,
and mixed with grease and wild
cherries, is favorite gift. When
made IN a cleaniy manner it is a
palatable article and valuable
diet for man on long trips.
1t is al unwritten law among
the Indians that any person re-
ceiving a gilt one year must recip-
rocate next year. Like their
white neighbors, the Indians value
imported articles very highly. A
kind Of tobacco which is sold by
the Hudson Bay company, twisted
in long rolls about foot long, is
highly priced; a pony is sometimes
given for plug Of this tobacco
\ special kind Of blue chinaware
imported from England, and sold
only by the Hudson Bay company
is another article much valued. as
are also what are known as Hud-
son Bay blankets. No china. to.
bacco, or blankets, manufactured
in the United States, compare, ac-
cording to Indians ideas, with
these articles imported by the
Cree Indians from Canada.
There are no variations in In
dian fashions. The articles used
100 years ago are still sold by the
Indian traders. There also has
been no variations in prices for q
quater of century.

Puget Sound, the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul and the Mime
apOlis & st. Louis. DR.. Smith in
discussing the securing of the rate,
said:
DIR. SMITHS STATEMENT.
For the past few weeks l have
been working at the request of the
commission for free seed rates, and
can say that the greatest obstacle
in getting the same has been the
laws. How to grant to anyone
but paupers without conflicting
with the federal laws, when you
have to ship largely inter state
from Minneapolis, and finally we
hal to adopt, so as to comply
with the laws, the plan of ship
ping direct to county commission
ers west of the Missouri river who
can under the old statute buy seed
grain, distribute to the farmers
and the cost of the seed becomes
first lien on the growing crops.
The railroads named have
agreed to haul to county commits
siOners in the counties tributary to
their lines west of the Missouri
river in car lots, free of freight
charges, seed grai: from Mime
apolis and points ON their lines in
eastern South Dakota, who will
buy and distribute the seed grain
at the price at point Of loading, SO
that the farmer will get the benefit
of the free freight"

and a few other articles have
been used. but none have yet com
planned Of shortage of the abso
lutte necessities of life. After the
first blockade OF the winter, which
came in November and continued
for about ten days, the people in
the country traversed by the
branch lines and the merchants in
the towns stocked up as we'll as
they could with all kinds of sup
plies to carry them Owe another
blockade. This last period, how
ever, has been Of such uninterrupt-
ed length that the stocks will soon
commence TO dwindle down In
some of the towns the stocks of
general merchandise are not very
large at the best.
During the past few days the
weather conditions have been felt
more keenly in Mobridge than
heretofore. The large amount OF
snow which has accumulated since
winter set in has made it difficult
to keep trains in operation on the
main line. AS result, the trains
have been all the way from ten to
thirty hours late since last Satur-
day, aud Nos. , and 6 have been
practically abandoned between this
place and Marmarth. Very little
freight is being moved-only an
occasional train when conditions
will permit. The weather is eX-
tremely hard on locomotive power
and many engines are out of COM
sion.
This has been the longest and
most severe cold spell experienced
in the northwest for over twenty
years, and other parts of the coun-
try have been affected as much as
has South Dakota. In fact the
entire northern and central por-
tions of the United States has
been within the grasp of this cold
wave for three weeks past.
The temperature last night Was
probably the coldest which has
been known here for a great many
years. With the atmosphere as
still as it possibly could be, the
mercury was 36 degrees below at
supper time; at $50, ~ degrees
were registered and at 10: 30 it
had reached 45 below. 1t is re-
ported that at 1:30 the thermome-
ter showed 4S below. At 9 O'Clock
this forenoon if was 36 below.
The lowest temperature shown
by the government thermOmete er
last hight was ~ degrees below.

WALKED FROM
TIMBER LAKE
Rather Than Wait for Train Three
Men Cover the Distance in
Primitive Way.

After having waited week in
hopes of getting a train out of
Timber Lake, Jewell Price, John
knatt and Joseph Price, three
carr enters who have been employ
ed there, gave up hope, and being
anxious to get away, started to
walk the forty four miles which
separated them from Mobridge,
where they might take a train for
the east. They were four days on
the way.
No train has reached Timber
Lake since Wednesday, December
9th, and and the carpenters did
not think it best to wait until

10 O clock.
When the men reached Cheyenne
Junction they got on a farmer S
wagon and were able to side four
miles before the farmer decided to
turn back to town.
The men decided to keep on
their way to Mobringe, and start
ed walking again.
Although the thermometer regis

Of the men suffered from frozen
toes or the like.
The trio arrived safely in Mo-
bridge on Saturday morning at 10
o clock and laid over there Satur-
day and Sunday, waiting for a
train to take them to Aberdeen.
They arrived in this city yesterday
morning on the Olympian, appar-
emily none the worse from their
walk. The men will remain in
this city, doing carpenter work for
one of the local contractors.
1t is reported that the people OF
Timber Lake are suffering from
the want of coal and food, and are
anxious for a train to arrive and
bring relief.
A snowplow last week made an
attempt to reach there, but got
stuck in the snow near Cheyenne
Junction. a passenger train fol-
lowed the snOwplow up, but it also
struck a snOwbank before getting
to Cheyenne junction, and now

Conditions Have Become More Crit
iCal in This Locality Dur
ini Pf st Week.
Branches West of Missouri River
Have Been Closed Nearly
Three Weeks.
Main Line Trains Running From
Ten TO Thirty Hours Be.
hind Time.

The most severely cold weather
of the present winter has been eX-
perienced during tue past week.
For two weeks previous to this
week the temperature had ranged
from the zero marx to - degrees
below, and it was thou 5ht that
perhaps the cold spell would cease
and that warmer weather would
come, hut instead Of the antici-
pated change for the better cOndi-
tions have become even more
serious.
The temperature moderated
slightly Tuesday, and Tuesday
night and Wednesday several
inches of snow fell, which will
only add to weather troubles with
the first wind. The snow stopped
falling Wednesday evening, and
the thermometer Immediately be-
gan to again take a downward
course, reaching the same position
it has held so long about 20 de-
grees below.
While conditions are not at all
serious in this immediate locality,
west of the Missouri river there is
a great deal more snow, and unless
relief comes soon conditions may
assume serious aspect especial
ly in the towns and country along
the south branches. The last tram
to reach Isabel on the Moreau
branch was on Wednesday, De-
cember 9th, while the last train to
reach Faith at the terminus of the
Cheyenne branch was on Friday,
December 22nd. Several train,
have left this place, but have been
stuck in the snow along the
branches and cannot proceed eth
er way. a rotary has been at
Eagle Butte for over two weeks,
but is powerless in opening UP the
road. The wind blows nearly
every day in the reservation sOun-
try on account of the high alti-
tude, and the snow drifts faster
than the road can be cleared. Af-
ter about two weeks work in get
ting portions Of the track cleared
of snow only to have it fill up
again before q train could get over
it, it is repor ed that the company
has decided to bring a big rotary
from the mountain divisions IN
Montana to open the branches.
A temporary star mail route SER
vice has been inaugurated betwe n
here and Isabel, so the towns
along the Moreau branch are not
completely isolated from the world.
but along the Cheyenne branch
the people know little or nothing
of the doings Of the world for the
past two weeks.
The towns on the reservation
have not run out of supplies as
yet, but it is reported that unless
the blockade is broken soon, there
will be a shortage of prOvis ions
and coal. AT some of the places

were constructed, like finder. The
John II. frey building, occupied
by the Woodward pharmacy and
Miss Amy Keever's real estate Of
flee, caught next, and soon the
whole block of buildings between
the Radson hotel and the j. |.
Workman building was burning
fiercely.
The next to catch was the Work
man building, occupied by John
a. Oster, saloon, and the Jellineck
cigar factory. This added addi-
/ tional fuel to the already raging
cauldrOn of flame, and the explo-
sion from the liquors bottled and
| in barrels in the two saloons
scattered the fire to all parts of
the buildings, at the same time
| giving the impression of battery
firing in the immediate vicinity.
The fire department worked val
iantly to save the First National
Bank building, the walls of which
became greatly heated when the
Workman building was burning,
and the Radison hotel. This lat
ter building was greatly protected
by the heavy steel fire doors on
the north side adjoining the burn
ing buildings, which kept out the
flames until toward the lest, when
the door at the head of the stairs
! on the Main street side gave way,
and fire, water and smoke got
chance at the hotel. The fire was
quickly eXtinguished, however, but
not until a great deal of damage
had been done to the old portion
of the hotel and the restaurant,
kitchen and cafe downstairs.
Smoke also penetrated the win
dows and doors of The Sherman
hotel building, doing considerable
damage to the decorations in the
hotel and extensively damaging
the stocks Of Burch Brothers and
the Sherman Dry Goods Company.
Water pouring into the basement

WERE OLD STRUCTURES.
The buildings destroyed were
among the first erected in the city,
were all frame buildings, and be-
ing dry, were highly infammable.
The liquors and drugs in the sa-
loors added greatly to the inten-
sity of the fire, making it impOs-
sible to get it under control while
the frame buildings were still
burning.
The firemen fought desperately
all throughout the bitter cold
night, with the mercury at 20 de-
grees below and a strong north
west wind blowing. The water
pressure was never better, and the
fact that the fire was Kept in the
confines it was is due to the efforts
of the fire department, and also to
the engine, which was added to
the fire fighting facilities of the
department last year. This en-
gine kept three lines of hose at a
very high pressure all during the
fire. and these, together with the
other numerous lines from the diff
fe:ent hydrants near, furnished
ample water to quench any ordi-
nary fire and get it under control.
