agrOnOmy department of the state COL
lege has recently inaugurated an ex-

tanning Grimm and enc containing one
Of the new varieties, to each OF the first
200 applicants In South Dakota who
would agree to put 1t in according tc

COUNTY AUDITORS TO MEET
= BOARD OF EQUAL IZATION

Pierre, s. D., March 10.-The law
providing for the meeting of. county
auditors at Pierre with the board OF
equalization and assessment has been
repealed and the report is current about
the state that the county auditors will
not meet In Pierre this spring as usual.
This theory Is an error. for the repeal
ing act does not carry with II an en,er-
gency clause, for the express reason
that the newly created tax commission
desires to meet the county auditors this
spring that they may get a line on
their duties. The act Will go into force
the hrst OF July.

NEW COMMISSIONER
RAPID CITY YOUTH

Rapid City, s. D., March 11-John Fl.
Marble, whom President Wilson has
appointed a member of the Interstate
Commerce commission to succeed
Franklin K. Lane, now secretary of the
interior, is SoIth Dakota man and
was a Black Hills boy.
He came to this city about 30 years
ago with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. An
drew Marble, and his early training
began in the Rapid City public schools.
For a time he assisted his father IN
one of the first telephone exchanges In
this city. and later did newspaper work
in Hermosa. For a time he was as
sistant editor of the Independent. a
democratic newspaper published by the
late Freeman Knowles at Deadwood.
Going to a Francisco he was city
editor of the Star, and during his news
paper career he studied law, was ad-
mitted to the California bar and prac-
ticed his profession with Franklin x.
Lane. When the latter was appointed
to the Interstate Commerce commission
by President Roosevelt he made Mar
BILE his private secretary, and later the
commission made him its secretary.
His promotion is deserved, for Marble
is said by friends, who know him and
have watched his course, to be phe-
nomenally developed mentally. Among
those who spoke in high praise of the
young man and expressed pleasure at
his promotion Is Judge Levi MCGEE, of
the circuit court. Judge MCGEE affirIns
that he. was. Instrumental in making a
"single taXer'' out Of Marble, but that
he did not ADOPT the theory Of the sin
gle tax until he had scientifically sat
isied himself that it is the best meth
cd of taxation. Marble was in the Hills
last winter, spending a day in Rapid
City and visiting his father, who re-
sides in Keystone.

on that floor and the fire seemed 20

leading to that story. Thus they were
caught In o regular firetrap. ARA
James opened the door and tried to es-
cape through the hall. but was driven
back by the fiery flames and his room
mate WAS so frightened that he rushed
to the window and jumped without
thinking and planning how he might
alight; and with his back broken. poor
Horton Pitcher. after a few hours of
frightful suffering, was forever re-
leased from pain. Mr.. James made his
way along the window sill, reached the
cistern pipe in the ell OF the building
and started to descend, but fell 20 the
frozen ground below, seemingly a mass
of burned and bleeding flesh. Though
seriously injured, his recovery was
quite complete and he has done his
part in the work OF the world, being at
the present time one Of the minister's
of the Dakota conference. Giles w.
Barken. a popular and big hearted
young Englishman, who was studying
for the ministry, also jumped to his
death. Will Smith and o, II. Taylor
were among the injured. the former

ing from the result OF that awful ex-
perience; the latter died several years

gone to live. ~

Friday morning. Eight wolf hounds,

wolf, and after a Commute chase tore

The box had not been disturbed for sew

taken It into a private room, were sur

Fashioned open face watch from its

before the box was returned to its
