SENIORS TOO FAST
FOR THE PRIDES

The High School Seniors romped
away from the Pride of the School
Yesterday and when the final count
was ended the fourth year men held
the big end of a 60-33 score. The
lower class men played gilt edge
ball in the first session and held the
seniors TO 24-22 count. The foul
shooting Of Bhckle in this half was
exceedingly good. The big guard
hurled eight out Of twelve chances.
The second half proved TO be the
downfall of Blickle's charges. Wick
crsham ran in goal after goal and
was closely followed by Daley. The
Seniors piled up two pointers in
abundance and their opponents were
helpless before the we'll directed at
tack. Blickles foul shooting was
away off in the final period and gath
cred but two free losses. He managed
10 keep his team in the running for

OF the York team last season, has

had been holding out for more mon
ey. but agreed to return for the terms
oonered him after Manager Manning
had visited him at his home In New
York city.
A comparison Of records on work
done during the 1911 season shows
that Leonard Frost. the young Tren-
ton player. whom Manager Manning
proposes to use regularly behind the
bat for York this year, bids fair TO
be ono Of the best men on the White
Rose team this year. Judging from
last years averages, and granting
that the players do as well this sea-
son. the regular members Of Man
nings team should make an excellent
showing. Averages OF 10 OF the IL
men who seem to have a chance for
positions on the team. exclusive Of
pitchers. show that York should have
team batting average OF .272. Frost
tops the list, with .346 in IL games,
and Wagner is second. with .3l2 i'm
106 games. Arthur Smith, the new
oeuter fielder. batted for an average

The Scenic Highway Handy.

The cross state auto road from
Sioux Falls to Rapid City, known as
the Scenic Highway, which goes
through Murdo and other towns on
the Milwaukee BY. north of us. is
rapidly developing into something
more than name. Much enthusiasm
is being cheated along the route and
work will progress rapidly when the
details are all worked out. Although
we are not on the road, it is only a
short auto drive to it--about 35 miles
and we can take advantage of it ON
a trip to tho eastern or western part
Of the state.

Homesteaders Lease School Land.

About 1900 acres of school land
in Melle.te county has been leased by
Auditor Cummins, most Of it to home
stcaders for grazing purposes. That
sounds good to US for the reason tina,
with quarter section Of land on
which to raise crops and section on
which to pasture his stock, the home
steader should be able to make a for
tune in a few years. 1t also indicates
that the new settler is going into the
stock raising business along with his
farming, which is wise move. Farm
ing alone, without the raising OF
stock, never was a success in any new
country any more than il is in the
older settled countries, aud we predict
the success of every homesteader who
raises horses, cattle, swine and poultry
along with his farming efforts.

Look Out for Fire Next Week.

1t is probably not out of place to
call to the mind of our readers the
fact that at this time Of year everyone
should be very careful about setting
lire that they cannot control. Every.
thing is very inhamable during such
hot dry weather as this, and little
carelessness right now might cause
the destruction of all farm buildings
or whole towns during the high winds.
1t would be very advisable for the
people here in town to clean up all
inhamable rubbish, as there will he
thousands of people here next week
among whom there will be some, no
doubt, careless enough to throw light
ed cigars. fire crackers, etc, any place
it happens. A little cleaning up viii
probably save some loss.

Councillors Visit Range City.

Councillors Behnke, Mueller and
Gieseke and Supt. Bolstad left for
Virginia Saturday morning to ex-
anime into the low pressure turbine
installed there. On their way back
they stopped off at Minneapolis and
looked at high pressure Lens engine
which had been recommended to them.
They came back Monday night. The
people Of Virginia are we'll pleased
with their low pressure turbine in
vestment and the committee seemed
favorably impressed with what they
saw. The installation of this improve
ment in our plant would mean the
expenditure of at least $4,000. The
installation of high pressure Lens
engine would necessitste IN enlarge
ment of the building, new boiler and
q new chimney all of which would cost
fully s5O,OOO. The committee met last
night for the purpose OF discussing
the matter fully and to determine what
recommendation, If any, they want to
make to & Q city council.
