GOOD ROADS
Advocates in the Black Hills
Work for Improvement

Rapid City, Dec. II. -Secretary Ben
nj. Wood, Of the South Dakota Good
Roads association. has been preparing
statistics which he will present to the
good roads confer ence to be held at
Huron, December 90. He estimates
that there are 81, 900 miles of roads and
trails in the Black Hills country which
are nsed for traffic OF all kinds. Tax.
ing into consideration the spill, loss of
time and wear and tear on harness,
horses and vehicles, it is conserva-
lively estimated that the cost OF haul.
ing N ton of freight or produce one
mile is 90 cents. 1t is said that
there are 80 900 tons of materia
moved in the Black Hills each work
ing day Of the year. In other words,
spill, time and wear and tear cost
approximately $40. 500 daily to the
Hills people. In the mountainous sec
tions of Europe, especially in Switzer-
land, where there are some of the best
roads in the world, the cost of haulaee
is 16 cents per ron. The difference be-
tween the cost of traffic in the hills
and that in an equally mountainous
country in Europe. Is over $l4, 900 per
Gay. during 800 working days in the
year. One-half of this amount would
make boulevards of the main thorough
fares In the hills and keep them in re-
pair, according TO Secretary Woods'
figures.

CHRISTMAS TREES
Where They Come from and
the Value of the Industry

Washington, Dec. 1t.-About So
SOC, 900 is expected to change hands in
the Christmas tree industry during the
two weeks beginning today. Recently
the baby pine tree was placed under a
federal ban because of the devasta-
tion of the Gypsy moth, but Uncle
Sam made the provisions of the quar-
antine 80 generous as not to interfere
with the Christmas tree trade.
The United States onsume about
1900, 600 Christmas trees every year
and the demand Is steadily increasing,
according to the officials of the forest
service, who have been studying the
subject with a view to determining
whether the use of tees for this pur-
pose is likely to affect the interests of
the forests of America seriously.
The total cut of Christmas trees
each year yields the owners Of the lands
from which the trees are taken about
$500, 900, it is estimated. For the
same trees, the who pur-
chase them ia the cities. pay about
81. 500, 900. The great differences in
these two prices represent the joint
profits of the shippers and dealers,
minns transportation charges.
According to the official reports,
New York City and the New England
states make holiday use on Christmas Of
1000, 900 trees. The chief supply
comes from eastern Canada, Maine,
New Hampshire. the Berkshire Hills,
the Adir ondacks, and Catskills, for
Boston, New York. Philadelphia, Bal
timore and Washington, The middle
west gets It's trees mainly from the
swamp lands of Minnesota, Michigan
and Wisconsin. The south contributes
many trees and also the largest supply
OF holly and other choice varieties OF
evergreens.

RAILROAD TRAFFIC
BADLY HAMPERED
Ten Thousand Employees Of Eng

London, Dec. 11.-Over 1000 rail
way men In Sunderland, York and
Leeds walked out in sympathy with
the 1000 strikers on the Northeastern
railway, swelling the total OF those
out to more than 10000.
The labor trouble has practically
tied up freight traffic and seriously
hampered traffic on the roads affect,
ed and business OF all kinds is at a
%standstill.
The collieries and iron ~foundries OF
the territory involved in the strike are
preparing to close down indefinitely
unless the disagreement is settled.
The strike Is ostensibly for personal
liberty. Engineer Knox of the North

he was drunk. His fellows insisted he
had a right to get drunk so long as he
attended to his work. The railway of.
fcials refused to reinstate Knox and

pressed by the Salvation Army, in

striking adventure or a series of
them, while ~endeavoring to travel
from the Twin Cities to join a girl
chum at Butte, Mont, on the sum of
So. The young woman was employed
in a fashionable restaurant at Min
neapolis. but spent her wages prodigal-
ly for good clothes and good time.
Then her dearest girl friend left the
city and secured work at Butte. Her
enthusiastic description of life in the
mining city so enthused her chum that
she determined to Join her. She ar
rived in Aberdeen on Saturday night
on a freight train having paid her
fare to Montevideo, Mimi. and then
crawled into a bsx car, She was put
off the train at Aberdeen, and entered
the Milwaukee station here. Accost-
ed by the station matron, she stated
she was going to Ipswich on passenger
train No. II. That was strictly true,
but while the matron assumed she had
purchased a ticket and would ride in a
passenger coach, she instead climbed
the "blind baggage" Ipswich is but
a flag station for No. II, but as the
train slowed mp TO get the mail, the
station agent saw the huddl d form Of
the young woman, riding the blind
baggage" He signaled the train,
which was stopped and the girl was
taken off. The weather was below
zero, and the girl was severely frozen.
She was cared for at Ipswich until the
next train east, when ..she was placed
aboard and sent back to Aberdeen,
where the Salvation Army took charge
of Der. She was placed in a physician s
care, and as soon as she recovered
from her experience, a place was se-
cured for her. Physicians say that if
the girl had not been rescued at Ips-
witch. she would have frozen to death
within a few hours. She stated that
men had approached her and offered to
pay her way to the Montana metropolis,
but she informed them she twas not
that kind of a girl" and preferred to
make her own way. She says now,
however, that che will save her mon
ely and pay her fare, when she again
starts to join her chum.

HOW THE MOUNTAIN
OF THE BALKANS
CAME TO MAH0MET.


What will there be to remember
OF this In the days to be,
Whose faith was a trodden ember
And even our doubt not freer
Parliaments built of paper, "a
And the soft swords of gold
That twist like a waxen taper
In the weak aggressor's hold, III
"A hush around hunger Staying,
A city OF serfs unfed.
What shall We leave for a aging
To praise us when we are dead?
But men shall remember the mountain
That broke its forest chains,
And men shall remember the mountain
When It marches against the plains
And christen their children from 1t
And season and ship and street.
When the mountain came to Mahomet
And looked small before his feet
His head was high as the crescent
OF the moon that seemed his crown,
And on glory of past and present
The light OF his eyes looked down.
One hand went out to the morning
Over Brahmin and Buddhist slain
And one to the west In scorning
To point at the scars OF Spain.
One foot on the hills for warden
By the little mountain trod,
And one was In q garden
And stood on the grave of God.
But men h remember the mountain
Though It fall down like a tree.
They shall see the sign OF the mountain,
Faith cast into the sea.
Though the crooked swords overcome II
And the crooked moon ride free,
When the mountain comes to Mahomet
1t has more life than he.
But h will there be to remember
Or what will there b. to see,
Though our towns through a long Novem
Der
Abide to the end and be?
Strength of slave and mechanic
Whose iron Is ruled by gold,
Peace Of immortal panic, IL
Love hat is hate grown cold.
Are these a bride or a warning
That We turn not to the sun
Nor look on the lands of morning,
Where deeds at last are done;
Where men shall remember the mountain
When truth forgets the plain
And walk in the way of the mountain
That lid not fall I'm vain?
Death and eclipse and comet,
Thunder and peals that rend
When the mountain came to Mahomet
Because II was the end.
