The compositor in the Clarion

salary of the cabinet officers was

last summer.

We know definitely of a goodly
number of rural teachers who are
planning to attend. We are glad
of this. Sioux Falls offers great
many things of interest to teach
ers besides the interesting things
they may get from the Associa-
tion. The Illuitrated Lecture on
the Panama Canal will be worth
all it costs the teacher to make the
trip. Bishop Quayle will be an
inspiration to every one that
hears him. We hope to be able
to make visit to the State Peni-

FOR BETTERMENT

NEW MACHINERY TO BE ADDED TO

The Journal management has CON-
pleted plans for a considerable increase
in the amount and variety Of the read

with the addition Of new machinery to
be installed at an early date, in both
the job and newspaper departments.
The office already has what is con-
sidered the finest assortment Of type
faces obtainable, besides the most Of
every other thing required in an up-to-
dare printing office for the expeditions
handling Of work. IN some respects,
however, the equipment is not what it
is desired to make it to keep up with
the march Of progress. The printers
employed are competent and reliable.

DRY FARMERS
ARE: GETTING [: It

NUMBERS OF THEM COME TO sHo-
sHoNE TO PROVE UP THEIR
PROFITABLE HOLDINGS.

J. S Norris Farley NJ. Morris and
George Morris, three brothers. who have
homesteads Of three hundred and twenty
acres each. under the Enlarged Home
stead Law, were here on Wednesday to
make final proof upon their lands Each
has his entire three hundred and
twenty acres in cultivation and had
raised good crops of wheat during the
past two or three years. Their lands are
all sowed to fall wheat at this time and
the men believe that the present fall q
snow will be very beneficial to their
crops the coming season. and unless
something unforeseen happens, expect
to harvest 2 large yield
Other dry land farmers over near
American Falls, making proof at the
same time were. George Dome, Charley
Dome and Miss Laura Dome, who
each have one hundred and sixty acres
all in cultivation, and are very enthus-
iastic over the outlook in that vicinity
for land values. All of these persons
settled upon their lands several years
prior to the survey Of the land and
have been making their living raising
wheat. They state that their lands are
worth from thirty to thirty-five dollars
per acre and many farms have been sold
for larger amounts.

Mr.. Munsey's suggestion is hailed as
the inspiration for union Of the men

the Democratic party. There is a dis
position on the part Of no one to deny
that the Democrats win retain control,

of the Progressives and Republicans.

WATER TANKS MUST BE RAISED
TO ACCOMMODATE BIG ENGINES

A good many Shoshone people have
asked why it is that ice has accumu-
lated this winter in such enormous guam
titles around the railroad water tank.
Yard foreman Patrick Donovan has had
a force Of men engaged every day clear
ing the right Of way of the obstruction
that the ice causes to the tracks.
There are tons of it piled up not
only at the tank but all the way across
the switches.
The foreman says the trouble has
arisn from the fact that most of loco
motives watering here are Of the new
type and stand about two feet higher
than the old locomotivesc. so that when
the water in turned into their tenders
there is an unavoidable spill at the
hinge of the pipe from the tank and
this spill runs away to form the ice. for
which there is no remedy except 10 raise
the water tank. This is to be done.
according to the statement Of Donovan,
as soon as the weather will permit
likely in the early spring.
