these are sufficiently cut over the
track is taken up and put down else
where. At certain desirable locations
along the route and al the outer
terminus of the road, the lumber
camps are situated where the loggers
are domiciled.
Primitive Occupation.
No part Of the lu~mberman's occupa-
ton is more interesting and primitive
perhaps than that Of getting out the
logs in the woods. A trip to n Of
the camps where this part of the bus
mess may be witnessed is a novel
spectacle, especially SO when one
makes the trip on a logging train. The
telling of the trees, the cutting of the
trunks into logs, the clearing away of
the brush is done with the same tools,
the ak and saw, the same expenditure
of physical strength, expended by the
pioneer home builder in stripping
away the magnificent hardwoods that
fell beneath his sturdy stroke in the
group Of states carved out of the ter
ritory between the Alleghenies and
the Mississippi river.
The roads Upon which the
timber is transported from the forests
to the mills are railways, though diff
fering from others of their kind in
that they were built for no purposes
other than ~freighting logs. One must
perforce ride on the framework of
the cars or on the tender of the en-
CINE, which is scarcely a hardship to
him who feels the lure of the out
doors. Before all else permission for
the ride must be obtained from the
mill owners or manager. Out into the
clearings n is borne over hills and
valleys once instinct with arborescent
life, o denuded and overstrewn
with the littering of the slaughtered
trees that fell to the mailed hand of
the lord of creation. Finally a shrill
blast of the engine the ar

1t Is in settlements of this character
that the iumberjacks," the men en-
ployed In the camps, live and have
their being month in and month out.
Overwhelming always by day and by

Guns Are Forfeited to Farmer.

Howard.-W. F. Kavaney, a farmer
living some miles from town, has pos
session of two valuable shotguns-
and the interesting feature of the mat
ter is that the owners do not dare to
call upon him for the surrender of the
weapons. The owners of the weapons,
who are supposed to be hunters, took
Ravaney's new buggy without his
knowledge and after driving il through
mud on a hunting expedition, left it
outside Kavaney's barn at night.
When he saw the buggy and noticed
how mudbespattered il was, Kayaney
was pretty mad, but when he found
he weapons in the buggy, where the
hunters evidently had overlooked
them in the effort to be as quiet as
possible in returning the buggy, he
came to the conclusion that he was
ahead of the game after all. And in
the meantime two men are out valu-
able weapons and do not dare to claim
them, as to do so would reveal their
identity.

rraln Wreck caused by chlldren.

Volga-The mystery of the wreck
on the Chicago & Northwestern rail
road recently was cleared up through
the efforts of Claim Agent Winter. He
found a clew that led to the home of
a. Santema, a farmer residing a
couple of miles from where the wreck
took place. Learning that the three
Santema children had been playing
along the railroad track before the
train was wrecked Winter questioned
them. and a 6~-year-old boy admitted
that he had placed a large nut on the
track, which caused the derailment
of the train. The other two children
we're a boy and girl, aged 8 and 10
years, respectively. The children
found the nuts and other pieces of
iron along the right of way, and as
the nuts were too large to play with
they placed them on the track without
realizing the danger of their act.

the state association usually is held,
there is a prospect Of the midsummer

Winner has just completed the cree

the reservation country. Considerable
help is being received from outside
for the erection of the building, but
most of the furnishings came from the
local people. The Elk members liv-

Hartford.-The town of Hartford
has again come to the front in Hol-
stein circles with the arrival of a top
notch bunch of registered Holsteins
early this week from the state of Ohio.
The shipment is the result Of a
months stay in Ohio by Give F.
Brown, vice president of the South
Dakota Holstein-Friesian association,
and is the largest and best shipment
of registered Holstein cattle ever
brought into South Dakota. 1t con-
tanned rs head and was divided
among various members of the Min
nehaha Holstein club, c. w. Schlie-
mann. S. B. Leo, II. j. Irvine and
Brown Bros. coming in on the good
ones.
Among the cattle was the COW Rose
Princess Clothilde 96575, who weighs
1900 pounds and has an official seven
day record of BOIL pounds of butter
and 1858 pounds of milk. This is the
highest record COW ever shipped into
South Dakota and follows the arrival
of Traverse Belle Lad, the highest rec
ord bull ever brought into South Da-
kota.
With these backed up by many 9th
er INFESTED females with 30-pound an
cestors and others that have been
winners in the state contest in Iowa,
Hartford can easily claim to be the
Holstein center of the state.

One Of the striking features in pres

gained a wonderful popularity and de-

simple beauty, economy and conven-

This is a thoroughly modern deyel-
