Mitchell.-The officers of the South
Dakota Scenic highway have returned
from their overland trip from Sioux
Falls to Deadwood to make a personal
inspection of the new highway which
is now under construction. The men
brought in a splendid report of the
work that is being done all along the
route, and between the two points
nineteen outfits were at work on the
roads. In a great many places a fine
roadway has been made. The officials
held meetings at every town en- route,
and the greatest of enthusiasm was
shown by the men of the towns and
country, all realizing the benefits of
good roadway across the state
Money and work has been literally
subscribed for the completion of the
roadway, and by fall it will be finished
Engineer Mather who is in charge of
the construction OF the roadway to the
west, states that automobiles can
make the journey clear through to the
Hills country at the present time and
fine good roads all the way This is
much more than the officers hoped for
this year, but when the people living
'aionS the route realized the great hen

get behind the improvement.

doctor. was brought to light through
the arrest of Timothy Minnot, a West
Indian. Minnot was arrested on the
charge of witchcraft and fraudulent
practices, preferred by Rose Miner,
from whom he is said to have OBJ
tained $50, and the tale told by the
woman was almost beyond belief.
Hearing Of the curative powers of
Mfnnot, she told the police that she
visited the man at his offices, 1921
Arctic avenue, in an effort to bring
about cure of an ailment from
which she had long suffered. She
was told by Minnot that. because of
a spell cast upon her by an enemy,
she was travelling through life in a
horizontal rather than a perpendic-
ular position, and so great was the
persuasive powers OF the healer"
that he convinced the woman Of the

In Preserving Woods.

Harrisburg, Pa.--As a result Of the
distribution Of forest fire circulars by
the Pennsylvania Conservation asso-
citation and other bodies engaged in
the good work, together with a more
favorable season, there have been
fewer forest fires up to date In this

partments OF education and forestry,
began the distribution Of 1000, 900
circulars relating to the prevention
Of forest fires. The distribution was
principally through the public school
system of the state. although the state
forestry department, heads of the
parochial schools, the Boy Scouts and
other public service associations as
sisted materially in the distribution
On account of the rural school closing
early in the spring only 100000 of the
circulars were distributed; but the
remaining 100000 will be distributed

the fall. and children may read how

The forest fire circular has brought
home to the children. their parents
and teachers an important lesson in
such way that general interest has
been aroused all over the state for
the preservation of the forests from
destruction by Hres. it is estimated
that many Thousands of dollars have
been saved to the state this spring
