the old-fashioned work basket does not.
The old-fashioned work basket is not
so very old-fashioned at the moment
however. Big work baskets are made
and sold and they are fitted out with
every convenience which modern skill
can devise. They are usually stained or

green. They often have leather fittings
Of the same color, and, like the leather
boxes. they are made in every size, from

they can be folded fat and put away in

TUBERCULOSIS SAN IToRIUM.

From the report Of the woman's board
of investigation of the state charitable
and penal institutions made to Cover.
nor Byrne by the secretary ofthe board,
Nina A. Gilbert:
The new buildings at this institution
were completed and if equipped with a
heating system would increase the capa-
city of the institution from IA patient
capacity to 80 patient capacity. The new
pavilion is not provided with heating
plant, and in order to make it habitable
oil heaters will have to be installed in
the dressing rooms of the patients.
The matter of installation of water
works system was an urgent matter un-
der onsideration-the estimation having
been made that the expenditure of$l50O
would settle the water question perman-
emily. The spring water used at the
institution is pure and of ofinexhaustible
source.
We are impressed, anew, on the oc.
casion of each visit to the sanitorium,
that it is doing great work and that
the state should not be niggardly in the
matter of enlarging an institution of the
kind when it is estimated that there is,
at the least count, thousand tubercular
subjects in the state.

JUDGE M'GEE HOLDING.
Mothers Pension Law to be Constitutions
Later Will Decide Method
of Its Payment

Judge MCGEE has overruled demur-
rer in suit brought by Mrs. II. 1. Put
nam of Custer to be made beneficiary
under the mothers pension act. Judge
Lewis representing the commissioners of
Custer county demurred to the complaint
brought by Frank d. Bangs as attorney
for Mrs. Putnam on the grounds that the
law is unconstitutional. Judge MCGEE
holds that it is.
Judge Lewis then showed that there
is not sufficient funds in the Custer
county treasury to pay the pension, that
a levy as provided by statute has been
made from which fund the pension can
be paid this year, that under the cir
cumstances the board of county COM
missioners cannot pay the pension until
funds accruing from this levy are in
hand.
Attorney Bangs demurs to this show
ing affirms that the pension is payable
at once out of any general fund the trea-
surer of Custer county may have on
hand. This question Judge McGee has
taken under consideration.-Rapid City
journal, 22nd.

STANTON SELLS RANCH.

George H. Randall sells the Stanton
ranch for $66,960. The Frank Stanton
ranch which is located on Spring creek
and about thirty miles southeast of Ra-
pid City comprising large tract of land
in one body was sold this week to Grant
Dewitt of Artesian, S. D., by George Ii.
Randall of this city. This sale is looked
upon as being the largest which has
taken place in years for land in one
body west of the Missouri river.
The new owners will take over the
property at once and begin operations
by way of improving with up to-date
methods and modern ideas, which will
tend to make the lands in this state
valuable and much sought after.-Gate
City Guide.
About $500 acres of the land is located
in Custer county near Folsom.

The notion that silo juices and acids eat
into concrete and disintergrate it is an
idle alarm, dreamed by the man that
wants to sell some other kind, and ia
disproved by thousands Unsuccessful and
happy users of the concrete type.
Some will tell you that the first cost is
higher than some other kind of silos
Just for the sake of argument we will
say that it is. All right so far so good.
Now anything costs as much as you pay
for it, plus the repair bills, plus 100 pei
cent when you have to replace it. The
concrete silo never needs repair and
never has to be replaced. The first cost
is the total cost. The way to decrease
cost is to eliminate unkeep and repair
The strength is enormous, ever increas
ing, and the silo built of 1t is truly chear
but not cheaply cheap.
am of the opinion by spring you will
be able to erect concrete silo just al
cheap as wood or any other material
and if am right in my opinion then II
is up to you to decide which is mos
durable, which ! don't think you viii
