atives from the smaller towns, to meet
here some time next month, In all
probability the 4th, for the purpose of
planning an organization and formu-
lstinR plans fol oncerted action in
boosting the Black Hills and it's con-
tiguous territory. At this time it is
proposed to for 4 an organization COM
posing all Of tht towns in this section
which care to jpin, this organization
being on the line of a federation Of the
Commercial Clubs of the BlacS Hills,
designed to aid in the general improve
ment and advertising of western South
Dakota, without reference to any par
tfcular locality.
Invitations have already been sent to
the commercial clubs at Hot Springs,
Edgemont, Lead, Deadwood, Belle
Fourche, Sturgis, Whitewood, Spear
dsh and Owsnks, while it is expected
that representatives will also be pres
ent from Wall, Quinn, Underwood and
Wasta, although these towns have no
regular organizations. 1t is planned
to offer sooial entertainment to the
representatives from these towns also.
this being probably in the way of q
smoker.
Invitations have alse been sent to all
newspaper men In the Black Hills to
meet at the same time. Realizing the
Importance of the local newspapers
when it comes to backing any plan in
volving the progress of this section, it
is believed that they should be entitled
to consideration at this meeting, and
for that purpose they have been in-
vited to meet in session here. It is
possible that at the same time an ef-
fort may also be made to organize an
editorial association comprising in its
membership the newspaper men living
in this district.-Gate City Guide.

Wilmington, Dec. 3.-Nothing has
been developed to throw any light on
the cause of Tuesdays explosion in the
Dupont black powder plant. near here.
Officials of the Du Pont company, after
an investigation by large force of de-
tecttves, denied the disaster was the
work of any outside agency. "There is
no ground to suspect that the explos-
ion was the result Of anything other
than an accident" say the statement.
THE whole thing is shrowded In mys-
terry, and unfortunately those with the
exact knowledge of the cause are dead
The many sensational rumors that are
current, are all groundless"
A revised list places the dead al
thirty, while one is still missing, and it
is feared he has been killed.
It was grewsome scene at the
undertakers, when the relatives we're
trying to identify the Fragments ol
the human bodies of eleven, who were
identified by shreds of clothing. The
bits Of clothing will be buried as tue
the bodies we're intact.
A rumor Is In circulation that thu
workmen have recently discovered
PARTICLES of steel filings, bits of nails II

feoture. The processes used to mould
the loose powder mag have caused
spark. This report is denied BY tn,

PLAYED TO Tie

With Sensational Game

Hot Springs High Closes Football Season
With Sensational Game
The Hot Springs high school football
team closed their playing season last
Thursday Thanksgiving day. With one
of the best and most sensational games
of the season when they played the
Rapid City School of Mines Prep team
to a tie at Athletic Park. The local
boys have been playing high GLASS ball
all season snd have been nosed out of
several contests by the small margin Of
one point thru little hard luck
Nevertheless when they were scheduled
to play in any of the Hills towns their
opponents have put their best lineup
in the field and the fans have turned
ont in force knowing that they would
get run for their money.
The Rapid City Prep team has won
from nearly every high school team in
che Hills this season with ease and
were very confident of carrying away q
victory here with large score. In
fact after sizing up the two teams II
took very optomistic person to think
otherwise on occount Of the extre
weight Of the Miners.
The game however waA surprise tc
everyone. The Miners were disa-
greeably surprised to find Hot Springs
playing two thirds nf the time in theil
territory and several times almos,
scoring while they we're unable to gel
within striking distance of the Hol
Springs goal.
After four strenuous quarters Meth
or side had scored and the game endee
with scoreless tie.
The boys here deserve great deal o.
credit for their work this year on thl
different gridirons % we'll az ct home
They are good clean lot of boys ant
among the best sportsmen In the Hills

CENTER Of INTEREST NOW ON
AUSTROITALlAN FRONTIER
SERBS FLEE. TO ALBANIA
GREATER PART OF SHATTERED ARMY
NOW RECUPERATING IN
FOREIGN TERRITORY

London, Eng. Dec. 3.-With the re-
treat of the greater part of the Serbian
army across the Albanian frontier, q
slowness Of the operations against
Montenegro and southern Serbia ow-
ing to the winter, and an absence Of
major operations on the western and
eastern fronts, the interest in the mil
itary side Of the war has been trans
ferred to the Austro- Italian frontier,
where King Victor Emmanuel's troops
are waging an energetic offensive
against the Austrisns. Fighting on
this front has in most part been sus.
tained, and is the 6ercest in the whole
war. For weeks the Italians have been
attacking the Austrians in mountains
near the Isonzo river. Slowly, but sure,
ly. they are drawing the nets around
Tolmino, Gorizia, and Doberdo. The
Austrians report that most of the at
tacks have been repulsed, but it is be-
lieved they are ready to retire from
Gorizia. Italy is keeping large force
Of Austrians from participating in the
Balkans. It is said 25O,OOO Serbians
have taken refuge in Albania. It is
thought they will return rejuvenated
soon, as they have saved their mount
ain battries and equipment.
The German papers say Field Mar
shsl Won Msckensen will direct q COM
.bined attack Of the Austro. Germans
Bulgsrisns and Turks against the
Anglo. French in the south. Many
troops are being sent to the Danube
to meet the Russian menace.
Budapest reports say Rumsnia re-
fuses Russia the permission to crost
the river.
There seem to be a hitch between
the Allies and Greece in their nego.
tations. Nothing has been heard ol
the latter's attitude.
Artillery, grenade throwers, miners
snipers and airmen, continue their
activity on the western front. The
British monitors are bombarding thu
Germans on the Belgian coast.
The Russians have driven Won Hin

OF "off again on sgsin-gons-sgain-
Finnegsn" experience. He was dis
missed from the postal service for hav-
ing said that president Wilson's second
marriage was indelicately sudden. He
tried to secure hearing from the
postmaster general but was turned
down. He published the correspond
ence in the newspapers. He was Or
dered reinstated within twenty-four
hours.
This doubtless closes the incident so
far as concerns Burkitt and his job.
But the episode has brought abont .
renewal Of the comment over the pres
ident's oourtship and marriage which
has caused no little irritation at the
White House where great pains have
always been taken to minimize gossip
on this particular topic. The pres.
ident's attentions to Mrs. Gait have
been no secret here in Washington for
many months. No one here was es.
pecially surprised when the engage
ment was announced; and the only
comment which the capital vouchsafed
was in line with that for which Burkitt
lost his job.
A few western newspapers had dealt
with the subject in like vein; the wo-
men Of Idsho-where women vote, had
been polled with q similar expression
of opinion; and the girls Of western
state university had held meeting
and resoluted to the same effect. But
the subject was no longer exciting in
terest, even privately. and was In fair
way to disappear altogether when sud
denly up bobs Burkitt's boss, Assist
ant Postmaster General Roper, with an
official letter which has set all tongues
to wagging again and with accelerated
force.
The news broke here on Sunday and
the correspondents became immedi-
stely very active. At the White House
1t was said that nothing was known
about the matter. Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson refused to say anything
But Mr.. Roper talked with some free
dom and seemed to think he had in
come fashion befriended the president
by firing .Burkitt. Tumulty however
had no such illusions and az soon q.
he had given the situation the onct
over, he promptly proceeded to an
nounce Burkitt's reinstatement .'by In.
structions of the president"
SO far as Burkttt is concerned that
ended It,. But It did not end the COS
sip. That is still going on with the
conoensus in Burkitt's favor by
large majority.
