UNDER IRRIGATION
Fields and Orchards Bloom in
the Black Hills

Newell, Feb. 1.-TWO and one-hslf
years ago, when the Northwestern rail
road built down the Belle Fouche val
ley, the first station, called Fruitdale,
was located on the ,000 acre fam of
II. M. Stearns and took the name of his
farm. This section has been under ir-
rigation for over % years and is today
the center of the most productive agri-
cultural region in the state.
Many years g when all the sur
rounding gulches were pouring their
golden treasures into Deadwood, en-
riching everybody, the Stearns Lumber
company was one of the large business
concern of that town. Later, when
business in Deadwood assumed normal
conditions, Stearns devoted his energies
to Building up a model ranch under ir-
rigatlon. He set out a shelter belt of
trees and started a large orchard which
has since proved to be a great money
maker. He put down several artesian
wells, the largest of which flows over
1000 gallon pei minute. The bore of
the we'll is six ard one-half inches
and depth 600 feet. From tie water
of this well he made a lake and
stocked it with fish. From the same
source he established a power plant
fully equipped to supply electric light
to the numerous farm buildings and
operate machinery for grinding and
dairy purposes.
Then he went into bees and for a
period had an apiary of over 400 hives,
the largest in the state. To limit the
flight and make the business profitable,
he grew sweet clover on so acres of
land. This land given up to bees was
valued at 500 per acre. Bee culture
was found so profitable that it was soon
INDUCED in to a wide extent in town
and country. Then came foul breed,
a disease which destroyed thousands of
swarms and put many would-be
apairians out of business. This epi-
demic of disease was followed by two
cold severe winters, nearly extermin-
ating what remained of the bee business
in the Black Hills.
Mr.. Stearns is again going into the
bee business upon a large scale. He
has formed a partnership with G.. Fox,
an expert in bee culture, who was
formerly in his employ. They have
already arranged to import 5000, 900
bees from the eastern part Of tt state
and will place them in several ideal
locations and produce honey for com
mercial purposes.

BOMB DAMAGES THE PLANT
Two Men Also Wounded in Strike
Fight at Trenton.

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 3.-Trouble
again marked the strike of the l,2OO
porcelain workers in this city.
Two men were stabbed, one perhaps
fatally, another was struck in the head
with a brick and a porcelain factory
affected by the strike partially
wrecked by an explosion said to have
been caused by dynamite.
While the Waterman was absent in
another part of the building a bomb
was thrown into the clayroom of the
Hudson porcelain works and the ter
rife explosion wrecked that part OF
the plant.
Peter Snyder is in Mercer hospital
with a six-inch stab wound in his neck
and physicians believe that his wind
pipe is severed. Stephen Snyder, his
brother, was severely cut in the neck.
Louis Matters received a stab
wound in the chin. Gazette P~ennachio,
who is accused OF doing the cutting,
was badly injured by being struck in
the head with a brick.

CUMMINS FAvORS
BUT ONE Term
Says Washington Alone Was
Deserving of Two.
WORK CFTEN NEGLECTED

Declares a President in Many In
stances Fails in His Duty to the
Country Because of Efforts to Sc
cure denomination and Reelection.
Washington, Feb. 3.-Senator Cum
minis opened the debate on the Works
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton to limit a president to a single
six-year term, by proposing to per
NIT voters to amend the Constitution
directly without previous action of
congress when "a substantial major
ity" demanded such a change. He
declared that, with the exception of
George Washington, those presidents
who have served two terms would
have been better had they served but
one.
Senator Cummins declared a presi-
dents work vas often neglected and
badly performed" because Of atten.
ton to efforts for denomination and
reelection.
Il think the Sherman antitrust law
will be more thoroughly administered
II the president is made free from all
the influences which these great in
terests may exert" he concluded.
Senator Borah said that with the
chance of reelection before a presi-
dent, this subtle and insidious infiu-
ence" of corporation interests was
counterbalanced by the influence of
the public demand that law be en-
forced.
Senator Cummins added that the
president should be taken out Of the
"maelstrom of politics"
II ought not to travel from one
end of the country to the other" he
said. THE duties Of the office are
sufficient to consume all his time and
are important enough to merit all of
his attention"

CRIME WAVE
In Des Moines the Work of
Former South Dakotans

Des Moines, Feb. 3.-Harvey South
ern. who with his brother Edgar, shot
and mortally wounded Charles A.
Thompson, manager of the Glasgow
wooden mills, otter they had been
caught burglarizing the Thompson
home, came to Des Moines from West
over, S. d., two years ago. 1t was
there that he married his wife three
years ago.
Southern had peer pretending to 10
working in the Great Western freight
house, and his young wife declared
that fhe had never suspected him until
she found cartridges ia his pockets a
week ago.
The girl is broken hearted. She has
a two-months-old baby and was sitting
up waiting for her husbands return
this morning when the police arrived
to tell her her husband had been ar
rested. Southern is but 90 years old
and his brother, whom he had with
him, but 10, is from Westover.
The police declare that Southern is
responsible for the unprecedented wave
of robberies and stickups that for the
last week have kept Dss Moines citi-
zens in a state of terror. They burg.
larized other houses last night before
they encountered Thompson In the hall
in his home. Thompson grappled with
one of them and was shot in the mites
tines. He cannot live.
The Southern boys were armed with
two guns each and the police afterward
found that each had so loads of am
munition in bis pockets.

BEE BILL


Pierre, Feb. 3.-An echo of the pri
mary campaign came mp in the house
over a little bill to appropriate less
than $500 for the expenses and salaries
Of the state bee inspectors for the
year past. The bill started a general
discussion. and before it was ad opted
enough time had been taken M, as one
member stated, TO more than pay the
whole amount involved. Morris was
afraid that it would be hard to g
plain after the speakers in the late
campaign had all stated that the tax.
payers were not called upon to paw
bee inspectors. while others attempted
to work it out as a joke until the bee
keepers on the floor got busy and
stopped that feature. But it did not
get past until after ii had been amend
ed to have the money appropriated ont
of the bee inspection fund instead OF
the general fund.
As George w. Egan made tie bee
inspectorships one of the leading fea
lures in his campaign arguments, his
name got into the discussion before IL
had gone very far. and every section
of the house had its representative
into the arguments in some phase.
The adverse committee report on
the bill to require a county commits
sioner to be elected by the vote of
the people of the whole county instead
of by districts started a little mixup
when Scott attempted to secure an
overturning OF the report and get tue
bill out rs a special order, but he
failed, and the bill is dead for this ses-
sion.
Morris presented his resolution for d
constitutional amendment which will
put the officers of this state ON a like
plans with other states in the matter
OF salaries, If accepted. II proposes
to make the salary for the governor
and supreme court judges So, 900 pei
year; Of circuit judges, 81, 900, and
of all other state officers, So, 900, which
will be q material increase in all OF
t.. IN.
The federal judge issue was up again
In q memorial to congress asking fol
legislation providing fixed terms Of
four Or six years for federal circui,
judges, instead of the present life
tenure.

DIVIDED OVER PHILIPPINES
Democrats at Odds on the Question OF
independence.

Washington, Feb. philippine in
dependence, despite the promises OF
the Baltimore Democratic platform, is
still as far OFF as ever if the lack OF
accord displayed in the house during
the Jones-Sherley debate is taken as
an indication OF Democratic senti-
ment.
At the conclusion of the debate II
was generally agreed that a division
among Democrats over the question
Of Philippine independence Is newt
able.
