BEAR g deposits were found along the

recognized the world over as an au-
thority on the anthracite formation,
sara.
The formation here is different
from that in which carnotite has ever
been found. Carnotite is found in
gneiss and in granite rocks. The
rocks here are of aqueous origin, and
IL carnotite is found 1t will be in
quantities so enthusiastically small that
it would not be profitable to get 1t

SAD CHRISTMAS FOR
COLORED FAMIL Y

KINSToN, N. c.. Dec. 2s.-It was
children OF Shane Isler. a middle aged
negro of Sand Hui. A deputy sheriff
drove up to the home OF Tsier and the
little Isiers and hailed the father forth
to Jail. Evidently Isler was hard put
to ii to feed his score and one picka
ninnies. for he was charged with selling
whiskey, and the neighborhood Cos
sips allege that he Is connected with
the disappearance of innumerable pigs
and fowls. Unable to give bond. he
will have to stay behind bars for the
holidays and then a time. while the
charities feed twenty-one hungry little
blacks.

subject has been secured. and II Is be-
lteved that the bill which passed the
senate will he somewhat modified
before il reaches the house.
The Adamson resolution will open
the door to a renewal of the hard
fight over the tolls question which
agitated congress year ago. Up TO
this time. President Wilson has made
TO public announcement of his posi-
ton on that question. and IL Is known
that he has purposely held the issue
involved in allegiance until congress
had disposed OF the currency bill. II
will be recalled that when congress
included in the Panama bill pro-
vision exempting American coastwise
vessels from the payment of tolls In
passing through the canal, Great
Britain, Germany and other nations
protested on the ground that the pro-
vision was in violation of the treaty
obligations of the United States
Protests From Foreign Countries.
The obligation, as they construed IT,
was that the United States should
maintain the canal as waterway
for all nations upon equal terms.
After n legislative combat in both the
house and senate. the provision ex-
empttnE American coas,wise vessels
from the payment OF tolls was agreed
to. on the theory that the United
States. after having expended s5V5,-
100000 in the construction or the
canal, had right not only to fortify
the canal. but to make such rules and
regulations for its use as 1t saw ut.
President Taft signed the bill. and
IL was a burning issue at the time
OF the Inauguration of Mr., Wilson.
Since March 4th last the president
has refrained from expressing HIM
self publicly on this proposition. The
vigorous protest of foreign nations,
which suddenly were silenced early
last summer. gave rise to reports
abroad that the president had asked
for time before taking the matter up
with congress. The introduction OF
the Adamsom resolution. therefore. is
construed here to mean that the
president is ready to proceed with II.
The resolution. should 1t pass. will
be In the nature Of an experiment.
and at the end OF two years time
the effect Of the suspension OF the
exemption provision will have been
sufficiently demonstrated to warrant
permanent legislation on the tolls sub
iect.

it will be with regret, he avs, but with
the feeling of duty to make way for
younger men,
:" have enjoyed my ministry" he

Harvest Time for
the Tree Agent

y are harvest days, not Tor
the farmer, but for the tree agent.
The tree agent has no doubt done a lor
of good for South Dakota. His per
suasiye powers have no doubt led
many man to invest in trees who
otherwise would not, and at times the
buyer has been led to make a wise in
vestment while at other times the
investment has not been nearly as re-
muneratlVe as it ought to be to
make it possible to invest any more
IN the tree line. Beware of the tree
pedler. Buy from reliable nurseries.
That Codington county can raise
fruit is a well known fact to any
one who has travelled over the county
and visited any of the numerous farms
where fruit trees have been planted
and cared for. On the Tracy home
stead west of Lake Kampeska there
Is d portion of the farm devott 10
a real orchard. Anyone intending to
invest very much money in trees
should make it a point to visit this
place or some other where fruit trees
are being grown.
But we started to write about trees
and of course we want to say ONE
thing about the kind Of trees that are
adapted to u conditions. And we
naturally turn to the State Horticul-
tural Society for their recommended
list. The society has divided the
state into three districts and being
that we are located in the northern
district, we are naturally interested
in the fruits recommended for our
section OF the state.
In buying fruit trees bear this list
In mind, or keep it and refer to it
when you are making up your order.
The farm orchard should be encour-
aged. 1t will mean much to the boys
and girls and older members of the
family to reap the fruits of the labor
expended in getting it started. It is
quite expensive to experiment with
varieties of trees and for this reason
we are publishing the fruit list for
the year of 1912. of the State Horti-
cultural Society. These fruits have
been tried out and we know that they
are hardy and we'll adapted to our CON
ditions. Their rank is in the order
manned.
Apples-Hibernal, Duchess, Patten
Greening, Wealthy and Anisim.
Crabs and Hybrids-Florence, Whit
ney, Sweet Russell, Briar Sweet and
Early Strawberry.
Plums-Only trees on native plum
roots are recommended. The follow
ing is a list of select and natives:
Wolf, Wyant, DeSoto, Stoddard, Hawk
eye and Forest Garden.
Plum, Sand Cherry Hybrids-Hy-
birds of the Dakota Sand Cherry and
the Japanese Plum, Opata, Sapa, Wa
champa, Etopa. Hybrids of the Da.

Sansota, Cheresota. Hybrid 'of the
