A young hunter of the Straight
Creek community came across two
rattlers lately engaged in a fierce
fight. They would stand near each
other, strike viciously few rounds,
then "clinch," wrapping them
selves in a coil so hard and tight
that, when broken, coused their
tails to crack like whips. He stood
by, unnoticed, and watched the
contest for time, then shot one
of them and used a cudgel on the
other.

Unusual Visitors

One of the conditions that teno
to ameleorate our isolation and
remoteness from railroad is the
comnaralive immunity, from the
tramp nuisance--a pest second
onlv to the mosquito and like vex-
atoms, a menace to peace and
security of mind.
It is seldom that we see real
snecimens of the road a genuine
article. such as came our way first
Of the week. There were four of
them-one miserable woman, claim
ing to be the mother of two OF the
men and wife number two OF the
third man. They came up the
Bullpasture, reaching the suburbs
of the town Saturday evening and
going into "camp" just around the
turn east of Monterey. They
claimed to hale from Mercer coun-
ty, West Va, and were looking for
work, with no objective point in
view.
Sore of foot, ragged and dirty,
their bodies creeping with vermin.
they moved westward Monday
morning, each carrying a burden
that would stagger pack-horse
and vomit a buzzard. No one
could tell how much of truth was
contained in the story they told,
but the life history of such quar-
tette - the relative proportion OF
pathos, misfortune and down right
WorthIessness-Would make an in
teresting chapter. In the heart of
the wretched old woman there re-
NAMED a strong affection, at least
for two young puppies which she
carried in the fold of a faded apron
that hung from her waist, while on
her shoulder she bore a huge pile
of dirty junk. Another dog top
ped out the shoulder burden Of one
of the ''boys," while "hubby' led
the NANCY little mother of the two
puppies.
How the human family can lose
caste! No one denies the claim
that "life is short" but if that be
called "life," it is a sort from
which about all the saccharine
flavor has been extracted.

MIxUP IN Al

When the date came for argument
on the writ of maudamIs to compel
the county commissioners OF Stanley
county 10 place the name of Midland
upon the ballot for a contest with Fort
Pierre as the location of the county
seat of Stanley county, there was no
case left. as the commissioners, by
resolution, had ordered such action TO
be taken by the county auditor, says
a Pierre dispatch This means that the
people OF that county as a whole Will
vote on the question OF county seat
removal from Fort Pierre to Midland =
and 10 vote for the cutting of of the
western part of that county. and its
organization into the two counties Of
Jackson and Hakkan, both petitions
for such yotes being granted. If the
Hakkan county plan should carry Mid
land would be within the boundaries of
that county, and not within Stanley
county, even though a vote would be
in favor of removed. A third petition
asking for the creation of Sterling
county of all the west end of Stanley
county was turned down. All these
complications on the ballot mean that
the voters of Stanley county will have
to do some figuring to know that they
are not getting tangled when it comes
to settling their local troubles next
fall.
The county division petition for cut
ting off all that portion of Pennington
county east of the Cheyenne river and
giving it the name of Howard, after
C. X. Howard, has been granted by
the commissioners of Pennington oun
ty, but the residents of the south end
of the proposed new county, along the
Milwaukee line" are not enthusiastic

City easier than they could get to a

doubt be at Wall or some other town
on the Northwestern line in the central
part of the county.

ESTRAY LAW A DEAD LETTER

A number of the papers of the state
are discussing the act for publication
of notices of estray, which must be in
a Belle Fourche paper, regardless of
the location of the owner OF the estray
or of the man who takes it up, says a
Pierre dispatch. Some of them ap-
pear to think this is a new act, and
others that it was enacted for the
range country, on account of the pres
ent location of the official" estray
publication.
The law Is an old one passed in
1897, and introduced by Representa-
tive Goddard, an east river member.
Since ii was enacted the legal papers,
which are selected by the secretary OF
state, have been at various times at
Volga, at Parkston, and at Redield
under different secretaries.
The law has been generally ignored,
and occasionally complied with, but
the owner or holder of an estray in
Union county would hardly publish a
notice in Butte county as required at
present, nor would a Butte county
owner publish in Brookings or Hutch
inson county as was required in the
past, and the law has been practically
a dead letter ever since it was enacted.

THE SIlO

There is no reason why one county
In Kansas should have more silos than
the entire state of South Dakota ex-
cept that the farmers Of Kansas real.
lied quicker than the farmers of South
Dakota how much money there Is in
a silo. Our farmers are now getting
wise very fast, and it is an easy guess
that more silos will be built in this
state in the next twelve months than
have been built in the previous twelve
years.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.

think of it. To construct a house
of this kind as quickly as a frame
house, but which is little if any more
expensive, according to the statement
of the inventor, and which by nature
of the reinforced concrete construction
will endure untold years longer, is n
of the marvels of the age. 1t repre-
sents a climax in building achieve
ment.
A few months ago Mr.. Frost or
ganized a corporation to make use of
his invention in concrete construction.
Although his new home at Mitchell is
the first residence of its kind ever
constructed, the practicability of his
invention has been proved in a num-
Der of store and office buildings con
structed in South Dakota

probably better than the grass privi-
leges of stock growers in some other
localities, as the Medicine Greek re-
gion has a cattle raising fame that
reaches beyond the settlement of the
country.
But in all portions of South Dakota
results approximating his success can
be attained with the native winter
feed, reinforced by alfalfa, cor and
the silo.
So what is the use of expanding time
money and energy in the production OF
the always disappointing wheat crop,
when something sure can be grown in
the form of beef and pork?
South Dakota is the richest domain
in the west when the process for which
it was fashioned are invoked Huron

claims the distinction of possessing
the only house in the United States
constructed by means of a set of con-
crete forms.
Mr.. Frost has invented a system of
frames that can be handled easily and
al the same time have the advantage
of leaving a continuous dead air
space in the middle of the wall. This
advantage in itself is a great feature
in that it eliminates the nuisance and
danger of moisture, sweat and frost
getting into the walls of the house,
which caused the failure of the Edison
invention.
The Mitchell inventor has obtained
a patent on a set of forms which
builds a hollow wall, reinforced hor,
izontally, perpendicularly and also ties
the walls together. At the same time
the forms can be adjusted to build any
size house, make any thickness of wall
and also leave the door and window
openings any size.
1t is upon these lines that Mr..
Frost's residence in Mitchell has been
recently constructed. 1t is now ready
for occupancy, this wonderful house.
For it is wonderful when one stops to

FARMING VACANT LOTS

The vacant lots that have been
planted to potatoes this year in this
city show evidences of returning good
crops for the efforts expended on them.
The owners or those who have plant
ed the lots will make good money
from their efforts, and at the same
time greatly improve the condition of
the community where the potato
patches are planted. Those who have
planted tomatoes are likewise having
fine prospects, and If the crop turns
out anywhere near what is expected 1t
ought to give a great impetus to the
development Of the vacant lots in
Pierre next year.-Pierre Capital-Jour-

MONEY IN CATTLE GROWING

In the Blunt Advocate there is the
story of a northern Hughes county
man who has just shipped fifty steers
forty of them 3-year-olds and ten of
them 2-year-olds-to the Chicago mar
ket where he sold them for 500 per
steer, $4,000 for the bunch. Last year
the same man, Charles Johnson, sold
twenty-five head of cattel for $4,000.
According to the figures of the Ad-
vocate It cost Mr.. Johnson less than
500 to raise the seventy-two steers
that brought him $1,000. They were
raised and made ready for the mar
