OFFICIAL
INsPECTION
Of Beaver Guleh Section of Red
and Yellow Trail

Hon. Homer A. Derr, State En-
gineer, accompanied by Vern Dor
othy, assistant chaff., came up
from Pierre Monday evening, re-
naming over night. They are
making a tour of the artesian
basin of the state, under a provi-
sion of the last legislature, to
make investigations with view to
the conservation of the artesian
waters of the state. He will make
a report of the results of his work
to Gov. Byrne, who will present
the matter to the legislature in his
next biennial message. A n
effort was made at the last legisla-
ture to frame a law haying for its
object the conservation of our ar
tesian waters, but our solons
thought they did not have sufic-
lent light yet on the subject, SO
they appropriated $1,000 for the
expenses of the present investiga-
tion.
Mr.. Derr stated that he had
been requested by our county
commissioners to make another
trip up Beaver Gulch and give
them a report on the work still
necessary to be done there. Con-
sequently they went up the gulch
Tuesday morning, to go from
there to Ed Sutton's past George
Comeau's. Thence they were to
go east and north via Gettysburg
to Roscoe and vicinity.
Another good word and deed for
the "Red and Yellow Trail.'
In this connection the editor of
The Press has report to make.
Last Friday. while on a trip to
Gettysburg, he really had the
pleasure of seeing our worthy
county commissioners, Messrs.
Williams, VonWald and Rausch,
at work on our highway to the
countyseat. They are grading
and improving stretch six miles
long westward from the burg,
token that the s'Red and Yellow
Trail" is not going to lose any of
its good reputation in comparison
with the other three cross-state
highways.

SELLING PRESSURE
LOWERS EXCHANGE
Heavy Offerings Send Price of

Their Decline Feared.
SITUATION rs SERIOUS

Under pressure Of heavy offerings
sterling exchange declined yesterday to
the new low record prices OF 4.s3&
for demand and 4.6i 5-l6 for cables.
This compares with a previous low rec
ord price ~ I6i for demand. On
Wednesday sterling sight bills closed
at i6iA. with cables al 1854. Thus
the drop In demand sterling is a cent
IN the pound, while the decline In cables
is I 3-l6 cents In the pound.
At the close Of the market last night
the tendency was generally toward lower
prices. Foreign exchange experts said
that one of the largest national banks in
the city was offering f25O,0O0 sterling
cables. Exchange brokers believe that
the rate Of exchange on England will
go considerably lower before the credit

TIE WALL STREET ADVANCE.

| Not for some years has there been
seen such a sharp advance in securi-
ties as those recently recorded. Peo-
pie who contemplate investment
should reflect carefully on the way in
which Wall street arrives at it's opin-
ion.
In every day trade, the sentiment
Of buyers and sellers is about equal
ly balanced. From this equal bal
ance of conflicting interest, an
equilibrium is reached w.,ch usual
ly approximates very closely to ac-
Itual values.
Nine-tenths of all who dabble in
stocks are buyers. They acquire
stocks when they think they are low.
hoping for high prices. The financial
reports in the newspapers all reflect
the great preponderance OF buying
sentiment, those who expect to make
money by advances. The great ma
joTity OF financial reports at any
given time are cheerful, tending to
encourage buying.
The balance against this grest PRE-
ponderance of optimism is kept up
largely by the professional bear,
operators who make a business of
contracting to deliver stocks at pri-
ces under the market. They thrive
by the over confidence and over op
timism of other people. They are a
small minority. But the hopeful,
trusting, confiding public so fire.
quently pushes prices ahead too fast,
that the bear gets great many
chances to work his profitable game.
1t is probable that for a very large
part of the time for the past twenty
years, prices of securities have been
100 high. They are kept there by
the great preponderance of the peo-
PIE who want to make money by
buving stocks.
Wherefore the investing public |
should be cautious about rushing in
too fast to buy securities. 1t is prob
ably true that within two or three
years, with the war over and business
fully restored, securities
will be higher. But there will be
many ups and downs. People who |
buy should take only the most solid |
securities, and should be prepared to
lock them in their tin boxes and for
get about them.

POOR SPELLERS,
Dean of Harvard Notes That Napv
Great Men Have Been Poor
Spellers.

A report just issued by Dean
Briggs of Harvard university calls
attention to the incorrect spelling
which is so common at the present
time. Dean Briggs notes that many
great men have been very poor spell
lers, and he finds that nowhere is
American education more defective
than in its failure to teach the cor
rect use of the English language.
There are of course a great many
successful men who are very poor
spoilers. II man has executive
ability. the gift of managing others,
the fact that he spells speech with
an "a does not hurt much in his
business. Everyone knows what he
means. His underlings dare not dis
obey his orders, though they may
smoker at his written memoranda
when safely out of hearing.
In social life even the successful
man will suffer from poor spelling.
1t Will suggest that he belongs to the
new rich culture, and is only mon
grel in everything but the single pow
er Of making money.
To the young man struggling for
a position in life, lack of ability to
spell is somewhat more serious. A
letter applying for a position that
should contain several unspelled
words would be reckoned that of an
ignoramus. 1t would convey sug-
gestion of Incidence and inefficiency.
The older people look back with
regret to the Little Red Schoolhouse,
where rows of buzzing youngsters
used to pore over the Blue Backed
Speller by the hour together. Perhaps
there were as many poor spoilers
then as now. In those days a great
many men had little or no education.
Bed spelling may have attracted less
attention than now.
The old fashioned school had one
astute method Of developing the spell
ling habit, and that was the OLD time
spelling match. Competition does
wake up the boys and girls wonder
fully. They might dream for DAYS ov-
er the regular spelling lesson without
acquiring anything. But there was no
study when they were
cramming for the Friday afternoon
spelling match.

IOWA GAME LAWS.
Proposed Changes for CioSea SEN

Des Moines, Ia, April 49,
Changes proposed in the game laws
of the state will interest a good many
persons.
Come OF them, embodied in com
mittee bills just introduced, are:
Completely closed season for GER
tain game birds until Oct. |, 1917
instead of October OF this year, and
10 include Hungarian partridges and
other imported game birds.
Trapping season to commence
Dec /, not Nov. /.
Lengthen the game fish that must
be thrown back from 6 to s inches,
except as to trout 10 inches and
pickerel II inches.
The game warden TO approve plans
for all fishways.
To stop the resident alien from
getting a gun license for 81 and
make him pay $40 the same as a
nonresident.
To cut out the words with a gum;
from the hunting clause so that one
must have a gun license for hunting
without a gun.
Reduce the number of prairie chic
kens that may be taken on any one
day to eight and Is quails and not
more than 25 of all kinds in one
day; also making it prima facie

"E" Is "a Good Letter

Someone has advanced the opin-
ion that the letter "e'' is the most
unfortunate letter in the English al
phabet, because it is always out OF
cash. forever in debt, never out OF
danger and in hell all the time. For
some reason, he overlooked the for
tunates of the letter, as we call his
attention to the fact "e' is never i'm
war and always in peace. 1t is the
beginning of existence, the COM
mencement of ease and end OF trou-
Bile. Without ii there would be no
meat, no life and no heaven. 1t Is

that every town ought to have an au-

that they are being watched and that
no mercy will be shown them If thew

speeding in a city or town is
wrong-doing. And the man who per-
sists cannot complain if he is given
stiff fine, to be increased with each
appearance in police court. On
roads there are no speed
laws, every man running at his own
peril, but the driver who is a gentle
man is soon recognized for he shows

HIGH SCHOOL COACHES.
Controversy Whether PAID Coaches
Should be Provided for Base.
ball Teams.

There is controversy in many
high schools as to whether paid
coaches should be provided for the
baseball and football teams. When
raid coaches were first introduced in
college life, there was protest from
those who took the purely scholastic
view of university education. These
are days of progress, and many high
schools need paid coach if the ball
team is to win any games.
In many cases the paid coaches
are not a high type of men. They
teach the boys slippery tricks, not
consistent with the ideals of clean
sport, and their language and con-
duct may be far from elevating. If
paid coaches are hired, they should
be high type of fellows whose asso-
citation will be helpful to the boys.
No doubt such men could be found
to do this work
In a good many schools a combin-
alton is arranged by which a teacher
is hired with the understanding
that he is competent to coach athletic
teams and is to take part OF his time
for this purpose. To many of the
tax payers it seems as if things were
going pretty fast, when they have to

Picture Brides.

A photographers magazine says:
One hundred and twenty picture
brides recently arrived in San Fran
cisco from Japan. Picture brides
are women their prospective hus-
bands have never seen, but photo
graphs have been exchanged, con-
tracts signed, and they are legally
married, according to japanese Gus
tom, and only need short ceremo-
ny to make them man and wife to
conform with the California law.
