The gold excitement about Hayes
continues and they are building hopes
on the outcome. 1t appears that the
gold is found in o~ut-croppings on sew
eral of the small streams in that vi
cinity, the largest showing being on
Plum creek rear Bunker, where the
outcrop can be traced several hun
dred feet along the bank of the creek.
1t is several feet in thickness, but the
gold bearing ore is only In a thin
strata under a deposit of iron pyrities,
While the find is yet problematic in
it's value, the possibilities of develop
ment keep the owners of the lands
upon which the deposits are found
somewhat agitated, and filled with
hopes of the possibilities.
The old muddy Missouri is a pecu-
liar river and does things very uneX-
pectedly. After the big bridge was
built at Pierre the channel entirely
charged to the other side of the river
and large rock work had to be put in
to keep the river flowing under the
draw in the bridge that boats might
be able to get through. Now the rush
of early ice in the old muddy the draw
bridge at Chamberlain was kept closed
for fear it could not be again closed if
once opened and the pressure of ice
caused the bridge to give way and it
opened a few feet. In the meantime
the channel changed to the other side
Of the river and the sand Immediately
began filing in around so tightly that
the bridge could not be moved an inch
either way. If the river should de-
termine to stay on the other side as
it is now, the draw bridge would be
left high and dry. The track will
nave to be adjusted to meet the draw
where it now stands.

THE JANUARY WOMAN'S HOME
COMPANION

The January Woman's Home Com
panion contains a really notable re-
port Of the militant campaign for wo-
man suffrage that Is going on in Eng
land. 1t gives the reader a clear and
interesting idea Of the violence Of the
struggle-Quite a different picture
from that afforded in our country
where ten out Of forty-eight states
have granted woman suffrage peace
fully.
Another splendid contribution to the
January Companion is entitled BE
hind The Scenes At The Bargain
Sale" in which the author gives a de-
tailed and highly entertaining ac-
count Of the many interesting pheno-
mena that enter into the fixing of
prices Of goods that women, particu-
larly, buy at sales.
Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, Mary

CHRISTMAS CAROLINGS

Better give a gift you know is good
than n you think is cheap.
Better give a few presents that are
good than. many that are not.
With some people the catalog writer
has taken the place of Santa Claus.
Let there be no doubt about the
quality Of either your gift or your
wishes.
Don't expect a mail-order phono-
graph to play Home, Sweet Home

The best present you could give
your wife would be the first $40 to-
ward a home.
May good fortune postpone the day
when the children must look into a
catalog instead Of a shop window!

The old saying that every bud is
followed by a blossom came true in
this city last Thursday when a little
daughter arrived at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. CBud) Stromme. This is
the first grand child in the Nelson
family and Grandpa Nelson assumes
his new responsibilities with all the
dignity the occasion demands, but
grandpa Stromme has become so &C
customed to being grandpa-this be
ing the eleventh time-that the fact
that Buds little Blossom" Is the
first one to bear the Stromme name,
does not seem to swell him up or
bother him in the least.

The soliciting teams of the Cham OCT of Commerce which are attempting to raise s5O.0Oo to carry on the work of the civic chamber for the current year will make their reports at the luncheon today at one o'clock at the Gold Lion tea room. It was the or iginal plan to have the campaign closed today, but for a number of reasons ir will be extended for a few days. In speaking of the campaign yesterday, President Sibley of the Chamber of Commerce said:
 The campaign for the s50,000 fund is progressing nicely. but number of the large corporations had to refer the matter to home offices in New York. which will necessitate the extension of the campaign few days.
 Some of the subscribers have re- quested information as to how the fund would be expended. It will all be under the direction and control of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce and in order that this might be care- fully and wisely looked after I will at the next meeting of the directors recommend the creation of a special executive committee of nine conserva- tive yet progressive members who will review and pass upon all propositions

NAVAL EXPERT ON
 | TITANIC DISASTER

London May 14.-Sir William White, the naval expert who was at one time chief constructor of the British navy in four column letter to the Times re- constructs the Titanic disaster on the evidence given before the senatorial com mittee. He considers that only one min ute elapsed between the time of warning of the iceberg by the lookout and the collision which destroyed the, water tightness of the shell plating for 25o feet from the stem and threw open the five foremost water-tight compartments. He estimates that the rent in the ships side must have been 25 feet below the water line. He says that when the temporary excitement has disappeared it will be seen that the question of boat equipment must be treated as subordinate to that or e1- ficient water-tight subdivisions
