lives between this town and Belvi-
dere, lost between two and three
hundred head OF sheep. He had put
then in the shed to protect them
from the storm, and the drifts of snow
on the top of the building became so
heavy that that the roof caved in
and smothered nearly the entire herd.
Several others have reported losses
of from one to eli and seven head.
That more stock aud some lives
were not lost in the storm is undoubt-
edly dIe to the fact that throughout
the entire day before it started plenty
warning of what was coming was Civ
en- and everyone had time to make
ready for the storm.
The storm, in the form of a blizzard
did not extend farther east than Nit
chell, and while it stormed there it
was not severe enough to tie up the
train service.
West of the river on the Milwaukee
road six engines, with snow plows,
were stuck in the snow while trying
to clear the track and two of them
we're off the track. The Milwaukee
rotary snow plow was sent around
over the Northwestern on account Of
not being able to cross the bridge at
Chamberlain, and was to work from
Rapid City this way, bat before leav-
ing the Northwestern lines the plow
broke down and had to be sent back
for aepairs. Wednesday morning a
rotary was crossed over the river at
Chamberlain aud il working this way
but meeting with considerable delay
in getting the dead .enginess off the
main track, and given them clear
way.
The storm was fierce one for this
time of the year, and after the fine
open winter that we have had, but
taken altogether everyone is pretty
lucky as the results in the loss of
lives and stock and property in the
storm might have, been much worse.

MARCH BLIZZARD
A FIERCE ONE

Last Thursday evening about fom
O'Clock one of those billiards that the
grandchildren are told about started
in and continued all night and al the
following day, and tied up the train
service and on Thursday Zone week
after the starting Of the STORMY when
this is written, we have had no trains
and it is not likely that train will
arrive here until Sunday and possibly
not at that early date.
The day the storm started was
cloudy and dense fog and wet SHOW
made the weather most disagreeable,
and along in the afternoon a north
east wind came up and with the driY-
ing snow made worse storm than
this country has experienced for the
past seven years at least. During the
night and all day Friday the Yolocity
of the wind increased and it would
have made it impossible for anyone
to face the storm for even the short
cSD diobdbCCs
Friday evening the storm cleared
away and about town huge drifts of
snow were piled up, in some cases
caels drifting nearly as high as the
buildings, while in the country all the
deep draws. creek beds and raYines
were filed with snow, and travelling
was exceedingly difficult.
Considerable stock, though not in
large bunches, perished in the storm,
and near Rapid City man and his
wife and their four children were
frozen to death on the prairie in their
emigrant wagon. In this immediate
vicinity the heaviest losers Of stock
were Delmar Shook who had about
thirty head of cattle drift into a deep
ravine on the river and the entire
bunch perished; Amos Shook, who

FADING ~SECTIONALISM

When Blue met Gray at Gettys-
burg. there was more than pefunc-
tory handshakes. II was not mere
ly that rancor had been Dlutted
out by the gray mists of 80 years
oblivion. 1t was shown that
whatever misunderstanding have
occurred between North and South
have been created more by polite
ians and grafters than by the old
soldiers.
Kindly Father Time heals all
sears. The men who once stood
against each other in deadly hate
now seem TO have a positive affec-
ton. Their common share in an
awful experience creates IA kinship.
The man whom you fought so years
ago seems closer than the indiffer-
ent youth of today, to whom wal is
merely disagreeble because it has
to be studied about in school.
Railroads and travel are greater
forces for peace than arbitratiCns
and organizations. In the old days
a business MA who penetrated
from one section ia another was
looked at with some awe as a globe
t%rOttcr, In those times one assum-
ed that the opinions pronounced by
the wise men of your own village
comprised the sum of this worlds
wisdom. That other ways of look
ing at life might find justification
in the basic fact of human nature
was dreamed by but few.
1t is out of those conditions that
sectional nosiilities and civil wars
proceed. Happily they are past.
The more you see of people from
some other section, the more you
are Influenced by their point of
veiw. The journey between South
and North today is but a holiday
excursion or a business incident.
The Southerner returns from the
North more than ever with the
feeling that the stars in their
courses fought against the beloved
Lost Cause. The nUrtherner comes
back from the South with the feel
ing that those fellows have got to
work out race problems in their
own way.

INDUSTRIAL

Workmen's compensation laws
will do much to prevent litigation
and distribute the burden of indus
trial injuries. But they do nothing
toward restoring the COO, GOO of
killed and MANNED men that factor
les, mines. and railroads turn out
in this country in a year.
Realizing the burden of this tax
the National Association Of Manu-
f%acturers is to send out a six car
load train this summer through the
great industrial centers with eX-
hibits and motion pictures to NJ
phasize the dangers of industrial
occupations, and the mean Of es-
Gaping them.
Experts say that half the ACCT
dents are due TO lack of safety de-
vices, the other to the typical care
lessness of the American workmen.
One authority says the American
mechanic takes six times as many
chances as the Englishman.
Worknen who sometimes try to
rig up extemporized devices to pro-
tect whirling knives and gears say
they are derided by their fellow
employees. When a bunch of men
get together they seem to display
neither fear or caution.
Any one who is familiar with
railroad work knows how the en-
ployees will jump rides on cars and
engines to save themselves five
minutes walk.
One investigator found that in
a recent year, $40 men were kill
ed by industrial accidents in Allie
gheny county, Pennsylvania. Two
thousand more came 10 hospitals
for injuries. OF the latter number
one-fourth were permanently Grip
pied.
Every one of these cases was a
tax on the community. besides
plunging some family into poverty
A crippled father means that the
children must 60 tn work before
they are fit for the shop and before
they have acquired any business
intelligence or ideas of citizenship.
The manufacturers accident
train is a fine project, and every
employer handling dangerous
equipment should give his men re-
gular talks about avoiding these
perils.

allaround trade. or a large busi-
ness in some specislities. They
ear afford to sell cheap.
The provision trade is usually
divided up among a lot of stores.
Many of them don't advertise, or if
they do, it may be merely a bust
less card without a direct telling
appeal to the logic of the pur-
chaser. The result is that the de-
livery of meat to the consumer is
all split up among a number of
small concerns. There is a waste
full duplication of expense.
II some one or two of them
would build up large trade through
advertising, they could persuade
people to come to their stores and
carry parcels home, they could cut
off some Of their delivery work
reduce, overhead charges, and sell
cheaper.

DRY FARMING At DEETH

Shepherd of Richmond. Utah
arrived in Dectn to-day with two
car loads Of horses, plows, discs,
harrows, drills, seed wheat and ne
cessary supplies for farming opera
tons. The Independent man was
in DeGth and met Mr. Shepherd
who is an experienced, intelligent.
dry farm exponent. He has been
dry farming in Idaho for the past
eighteen years with pronounced
success. He is General Manager
for the Elko Land Company who
owns eleven sections Of land twelve
miles from Deeth. There is no
water on this land and it is expect
ed that Mr. Shepherd will demon.
tsrate the certainty Of dry farm
in gin Elko County. Six hundred
acres of land will be cleared and
plowed at nee ready for fail seed
ing. Winter Wheat will be sown
and the size Of the field to be
planted 70 wheat shows the faith
the owners have in dry farming in
Nevada. The project will be
watched with intense interest.
The Independent has faith in the
scheme and will render any aid in
its power to the furtherance Of a
proposition 80 full of possibilities
for Nevada. The owners of this
tract of land are said to be Salt
Lake capitalists.
