Deadw0od Club Has Plan to Combine Adver.
tising for Hills,
Believing that the only effective
method of handling outside advertis.
ing in big eastern dailies and maga.
zines, is by the cooperation of all the
communities In the Black Hills, the
Deadwood Business Club is now en-.
deavoring to organize joint advertis.
ing committee from all the clubs which
will etfeotually handle this character
Of advertising in the future. All the
clubs in the Black Hills have been ap.
pealed to, to give their assistance to the
plan by which each community may
save money and get far greater returns
for their investment.
The plan contemplates the advertis.
ing In the east thru the newspapers
and other mediums of not one but all
the scenic localities of the Hills, it's
mining and industrial resources and
facilities for homes in healthful, bright
locations. When people come to the
Hills on visit, they desire to visit all
Sections and therefore it is believed
that by presenting the attractions Of
all sections in one big advertisement, a
much stronger showing is made and
one much more likely to attract the
attention Of those who are looking for
a vacation point or investment. A
clubbing together of each community
in this advertising will give we'll di.
rected, properly presented newspaper
advertising campaign of the kind that
attracts the attention of those whom it
Is desired to reach. Showing in one
advertisement the attractions of the
whole Hills is much stronger argument
than showing but one community and
it ia to this end that the efforts of the
local club are now being directed

RAIN WORTH A MILLION
This Weeks Oownpour Worth Many Dollars
To Western South Dakota.

This Weeks 0ownpour Worth Many Dollars
To Western South Dakota.
We can truthfully say with the Pion-
eer- Times that the rain which fell in
the Black Hills country this week was
worth million to the farmers.
1t came at time when it was most
needed and in some sections its delay
for another week would have been
fatal to this years's crops. In some
parts of the Black Hills district. it
might have been deferred for two or
three weeks, without entailing serious
damage. but even in those parts it was
welcomed as blessing. it has insured
fair start for the crops, leaving only
the necessity of two or three good
rains between the present and July to
make certain an abundant harvest.
The rain vas general in all parts of
the Black Hills and the surrounding
farming country. 1t extended from
Alliance and Chadron on the South to
Belle Fourche and the outlying dis
tricts on the north.
The report from SpearAsh said that
the rsin was falling almost in q torrent
there and that it appeared to be gen.
eral. An equally satisfactory report
from Belle tourohe, where the down.
fall was steady and heavy. SturRis,
where the rain was needed as badly as
any place in the Black Hills had q
heavy fall that soaked the ground we'll.
At Rapid City and surrounding ooun.
try, another district that was badly in
need of rain, was also fortunate and
got it good and heavy.
Along the Burlington line the beavi-
est fall was reported at Pringle and
Hill City, but the points further south
we're also we'll drenched. At Edge.
mont they had some rain and at
Alliance it came down in q steady
pour.

MISSING CASHIER OF
BANK IS FOUND"
Although Authorities Can Produce
r. E. Smith, They Won't, and
Depositors Are Mad.

Newark, N. j., Aug. ls.-A most in
teresting situation developed late today
In the affairs of the Roseville Trust
Company. which was closed by the bank
ing department on Thursday. This new
turn was brought about by the admis-
sion that although Cashier Raymond E.
Smith. who had been reported missing
since Wednesday last, has been located
he will not be produced"
The fact that the men who located
the cashier were detectives and claim
agents for the National Surety Company
excited the depositors' committee, which
already had announced the losses would
be materially reduced through the for
feiture of the $4,000 bond that this COM
pany had given for Smith.
Every development tonight seemed to
indicate that Mr.. Smith holds the key
to an amazing situation. The directors.
being bitterly assailed in the depositors'
meetings. have retorted that Smiths
presence was imperative to assist in un-
raveling the banks accounts and ex-
planning entries which he alone under
stood. 1t was declared Smith could be
produced within an hour.
A woman Is said to have revealed the
Of the missing cashier. Re-
ports stated he had been found" twenty
hours before the depositors knew Of 1t.
The wrath of the depositors against the
directors had not abated tonight, as a
large number Of those will lose money
because OF the shortage at the bank.

bill for women employed in the District

The Peters bill was reported favorabiy
at the last session, but failed of pass

pressure of other business.
The La Toilette bill, similar to the
Peters bill, already has passed the Sep

least to have his bill reported at this
time and placed on the House caler1a"
so that action may be taken early next
winter.
The Labor Committee will decide within
a few days what attitude it will take. In
the last Congress the present Secretary
of Labor, william B. Wilson, was chair
mcn of the committee, having the Peters
bill in charge. Mr.. Wilson's committee
gave extended hearings and reported tn:
bill favorabIy.

ported the bill, and only combination

New York, Aug. 16.-Angered by Will

diversion Of campaign funds to private

to delay the proceedings until we could

private account I then. as do now. re-

DR.. Robert Abrahams, the New York

tonight:
Mr.. Levy's statements with regard to

of a speech by Senator Mclean of Con-

cerning his subcommittee made by DR..

Senate the reason for his favorable re-
port on the Audubon proposal.
