The Booster Club Extend, Thanks
To its Friends For Good

Realizing the great number of
friends it has throughout the
new county, the Boosters Club
of Ekalaka takes this onpor-
tunity to express its appreciation
to those who so earnestly assist
ed the club in obtaining the
county seat at Ekalaka. The
county seat fight was a hard one
and only through the united ef-
forts of its friends, who had tho
welfare Of the new county at
heart. did Ekalaka come out the
winner. With the establishment
of the seat of government al
Ekalaka, the town should grow
and continue to be a credit to
the new county, while Baker.
our opponent in the race will
have no setback, but in the en,i
gain by the locating of the coun-
ty seat as it now is. While thu,
county seat fight will come up
again next fall, this fact doc;
not hinder Ekalaka from forgin.:
ahead, and when the question,
comes up again, we believe yo;.
will ''stand-pat." Now ~tha.

Cream Shipments

Washington and Rec Heights pa
pers take exception to a recent clip
ping reproduced in this paper about
cream shipments from Miller. The
item was taken from a Pierre paper
and was written by the editor of
that paper after a visit to Miller. He
complimented Miller upon doing
such a large, handsome cream bust
ness, and otherwise had a nice word
for the city. His article made one err
ror which was corrected in the Press.
The shipment was two days. not one.
This seemed to rub the fur the wrong
way at Washington and Rec Heights,
and they overwhelm the county seat
with statements of cream shipped
from their towns as follows: One
Saturday Wessington's two buyers
shipped AZ cans worth 1894. 48. esti-
mating 10 more from private sources
or a cash total of $349 80. One Sat-
urday's shipment at Rec Heights was
43 cans. price not given,
Fine! All of which corroborates
the Press statement tina, Hand
County is close to the cop of all
counties in the new movement to
quit wheat raising and adopt mixed
farming, dairying and stockraising
The Press and Miller would be pleas
ed il the cream business of surround
ing towns were doubled in the next
year.

Famous Old Medanion..

Medallions of earlier date than
III A. d. are extremely rare and
consequently very valuable. A well
known example of great beauty is
the gold medallion of Caesar Au-
gustus. Of much earlier date, how
ever, are the famous Syracusan me-
dallions. SO called, although they
were used as coins. These medal
lions, which are generally admitted
to be the finest and most perfectly
executed that have ever been struck,
belong to the best period of Greek
art, 400-336 B. c. On their faces
they bear an ideal head, magnificent
in its swinging sculpturesque lines,
and upon the reverse the representa-
ton of a victorious ~quadriga, por-
trayed with a vigor Of action worthy
of those old Greek masters.

Paid Half His Obligation

The creditors of Charles Thomson
received cash settlement of their two
year notes with interest at 6 per cent
Saturday, on presentation at the
First National Bank. This IS the
second step in corroboration of the
Press prediction that Charles Thorn
son was honest and meant to do the
fair thing by his fellow man. He
has now paid so per cent of his obi
cation. The other half is in notes
running ten years to give him time
to work out-which he will surely do
if he lives and retains his health.
Some reckless philosopher has at
tempted to ridicule one Of the most
precious sentiments of the human
mind with this terse characterize
ton: Hell is paved with good in
tentions." The Press has n o time
for this school of philosophy. 1t

agree with this, but this writer likes
to think his neighbors are honest and
possessed Of good intentions.
We congratulate our old friend.
and wish him ten years of prosperity

Of the business misfortune which
overlook him. And if success does
reward his labors. it will be the hap

ESKIMO ETIQUETTE.
These Curious Arctic People Havs Nc
Use For stingy Strangers.

These Curious Arctic People Have No
Use For stIngy Strangers.
As We scrambled over rough bowl
ders to our arctic home the night
previous we had noticed dark masses
Of natives grouped on the slope OF
the village to the right Of the gov
eminent buildings, but it was not
until the next morning that we
were introduced to the whole popu-
lation, when they engulfed US in a
good natured brown food.
The first step vas to look us and
our belongings over; the next was to
beg for different articles which espe-
cially appealed to their fancy. This
is a trait which the Eskimo shares
in common with all the native
tribes and which somewhat mars his
sociability. The prodigal generos-
ity of whalers and miners has con-
vinced him that all white men are
rich, and he regards them as his
natural benefactors.
The Eskimo code of etiquette
runs something like this: eff a
stranger has nothing give him any
thing you have got; if he has plenty
ask him for everything" The gen.
crosby or stinginess Of q newcomer
on his initial visit forever estab-
fishes his reputation among the Es-
kimos. If he withholds the usual
presents and pays sparingly for his
labor he is blazoned throughout the
country as a "~tightwad," the Eski-
NOS are promptly converted, so far
as he is concerned, into thieves and
villains; but if, on the other hand,
he pays the natives well for unload
ing his cargo and d~ispenses little
presents with discretion, he is
known as a good fellow" and the
whole tribe stands ready to do his
bidding.
Of the general natural honesty of
the Eskimo there is no question.
During a three years. residence
among them / never lost so much as
a pin and frequently had lost arti-
cles returned. They would not even
take a lump of coal off the school
grounds without my permission.
Every year | ordered my supplies in
Nome and had them sent up to the
islands and delivered to the natives,
and. although some families might
be entirely out of food, they never
touched a single box of sugar or
biscuit, but stored it carefully in the
school building, accounting for ev-
cry item. Any dishonesty shown
has been learned from the white
men.
| might add that the Siberian
tribes do not bear this reputation,
and when they made their annual
visit in the spring we had to put ev-
erything under lock and key. How
ever, during my stay on the Diome-
des there was not a single case of
theft among the natives.-Wide
