he cast his lot with the young com
munity. Since then he had labored
with indefatigable zeal ON the mission
fields of Northern Alabama, and for
some time was pastor of Huntsville.
When declining health forced him to
give up the charge Of his beloved
flock he became chaplain at st. Mar
garet's Hospital, Montgomery, Ala.
Shortly after this he volunteered for
the arduous post of chaplain to the
leper colony at Eiberville, La. Here
his health broke down completely. He
returned to his abbey home at St.
Bernard, where, surrounded by his
beloved confreres, he calmly breathed
his last.

that the Franciscan missions not yet
closed are to remain open and those
that have been closed should be re-.
opened. It is to be hoped that the
holy places, of which the Franciscans
are the guardians, will benefit by the
measure. Many of the fathers on the
stats Of the missions, who were OF
French birth, and who have joined the
colors of their native land, are being
replaced by friars Of neutral national
ity. Many Italians took their places.
Now, that Italy has entered the war,
these men will also have to leave, it
is feared.

The Waste of Natural Wealth i'm
MeIlette.

In an interview with w. B. Pinker-
ton, Superintendent of the Rosebud
Indian Missions for the Congregation
al Church on Monday of this week,
he remarked that there would be en-
ough hay allowed to 60 to waste in
Mellette county this season, which if
out and sold at an average of S. per
ton, would provide more than enough
capital to build that railroad from
Winner to Wood and on to White
River. This, at first, seemed a start
ling statement to make, but if you
will stop and consider a moment it is
really very conservative statement.
1t is conseryatively estimated that
there will be at least 250,0O0 tons of
as fine hay as you ever saw grow out
doors, go to waste in this county this
season. We have one of the heaviest
hay crops known, there is not enough
stock in the county to even Craze off a
small fraction of this luxurant growth
Our people cut but very small per
cent of this hay, merely enough to
see them comfortably through the
coming winter, and the larger per
cent of this hay will be left standing
to die down and rot or to make fuel
for prairie fires later on in the season,
which this year probably will be a
very dangerous menace to this section
of the country. Had we the necess-
ary railroad facilities to take this nat
ural wealth to market we believe the
greater part of this immense hay crop
would be saved and prepared for
market, giving employment to humid
reds and greatly increasing our busi-
ness activity and prosperity, as it is,
it is total loss, and dangerous
menace TO this country. 1t really
seems IL shame and pity that this
immense amount of our natural wealth
must be left to go to waste, when, if
properly husbanded, the revenue de.
rived from this one seasons crop alone
would provide us with the much want
ed and much needed railroad facilit-
les. This county carnot prosper, and
develop to any great extent. until we
do get adequate transportation facil
tiles, and it appears to us that if we
would all unite and make determin-
ed effort, we could some how, some
way get that railroad. Where there
is sufficient determination, and real
will, there is always way.

BY reading the Commissioner pro-
ceedings in another column this week
you will find that Mellette county has
! decided not to attempt to make any
exhibit at the State Fair at Huron
this year, as was planned. 7 state
Fair is 10 be held early in September
and this is entirely too early, as all
sorts of crops are very late and back
ward, and no corn or other spring
crops will be fully matured by that
time. This is to be regretted, as a
little later, Mellette county could have
prepared an exhibit that would have
caused the State Fair visitors to have
set up and taken notice. If it could
be arranged Sc, that the counties of
the Rosebud duntry would prepare a
car load of exE bits of their choisest
product and I ,ether with a good
lot of iiteratur tart it out on tour
OF some OF the eastern and southern
states, say in November, we believe
that much good could be accomplish
|, ed, and good tide of emigration
turned this way. This would of
course cost quite bunch of money,
but it would be money well expended
The real estate dealers Of the Rosebud
country ought to be willing to come
across in good shape to inance such
an enterprise.

one-year, six per cent notes expired
today AT the close of protracted
session the directors announced that
SIS per cent of the notes had been de-
posted, pursuant to the agreement
to extend payment another year.
According to the statement issued
by the board, a large part of the out
standing notes will be deposited to-
morrow, especially as it is now rea-
lized that no provision can be made
to keep up the interest on these notes
on demand. 1t adds,
There is no evidence of the dispo-
sition on the part of any noteholdef
to adopt the alternative of suing on
his notes.
The board believes that every
noteholder will agree to extend when
he appreciates that the company can

less 1t is extended"
The Gould estate, which holds
about 100000 of the notes, has ac-
