White Butte Loses Case.

Pierre.-The supreme court ih an
opinion by Smith decreed that the
own OF White Butte on the Puget
Sound" line of road will have to get
along without a station on that rail-
way. The town is unfortunately sit
rated as it is on loop of the road
which crosses into South Dakota a
'ew rods after running short dis
.ance in North Dakota and again
leaves the south state a short dis
lance west OF White Butte. The
'ounders Of that town claim that they
located ii on an agreement of the of
ficers OF the road that they would be
given a station but when they asked
for the same privilege it was denied
Oh the ground that the distance Of the
town from stations in North Dakota
does not give them the right they
asked. The state railway commission
after hearing ordered the station to
be established and the company ap-
pealed to the courts securing YER
diet in the lower court which has been
affirmed

Non-military appropriations and pen
sion appropriations have Increased
more rapidly than the military bills.
Consequently in the table above the
percentage accredited to the United
States is much too high, as the figures
will show.
How these war expenditures, or
rather expenditures TO prevent war, as
they are termed by those responsible
for them, have mounted to such tre-
mendous figures, is shown by the
table. giving the cost of the worlds
armies and navies for every ten years
In the last generation. The totals for
each nation mount into the billions
since 1881
Though the United States holds
fourth place, according to these fig
ures, in amount of expenditures for
war preparations, 1t is really far be-
hind if Judged by results. The United
States government pays higher for
preparation for war than any other
nation in the world. 1t pays it's sol
ders and sailors higher wages; their
food is better, and costs much more
than that Of foreign soldiers and blue
Jackets; their clothing is more ex-
pensive; the American government
must pay much higher prices for bat
tleships, guns and all munitions and
materials of war. Consequently, with
one OF the biggest military bills to
foot, the United States really has less
to show than that of any country per
dollar expended
The graphic charts above show the
military preparedness Of nine coun-
tries: Mexico, United States, Great
Britain, Japan, Italy, Austria, France,
Germany and Russia AS is readily
seen, despite the millions ii spends on
the army. the United States is dwarf
among military nations.

Un Development a Growing Idea.

Pierre-Oii development appears to
be growing idea in this state at the
present time, the activity in that di'
rection being widespread The Potter
county boosters say they have all but
a few hundred acres of the leases re-
quired by the Indianapolis firm, which
has agreed TO prospect in that vicinity
as soon as the required acreage Is
secured, and also an assurance of the
company that it will begin work
promptly after the leases are signed.
The project at Pierre, backed by
Pittsburgh people, is in practically
the same position. Nearly all the
leases have been secured, and as soon
as they are all cleared up assurance
OF work is given. AT Murdo, Lyman
county. the people are becoming ex-
cited over OIL The oil supply on the
water from an artesian well has been
increasing as the we'll goes deeper,

coming somewhat excited over the

by residents Of South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and Wyoming to test out the

Surgeons are now employing mas

to practice massage In such cases

Championniere, and his disciples have

London a few weeks ago, in which he
described the massage as consisting
of slow. light, rhythmical stroking in
the neighborhood of the injury. the

the United States, Japan and British

hand, taking the ten leading nations
