St. Joe To P lay
Here Sunday

A baseball game has been ar
ranged with the ST. Joe team for
next Sunday to be played here.
Two games have been played by
these two clubs and each has won
one, st. Maries defeating st. Joe
early i'm the season but having the
tables turned on them here three
weeks ago when they were over
whelmingly defeated in turn.
This was a big surprise to the
home fans as ST. Maries had won
all but one of the games played
up to that time and besides win
ming from all of the nearby clubs
had defeated two fast Spokane
teams and the fans had begun to
think the boys almost inVinciblc.
Il was not so much Of a surprise
when the home team lost to SDD-
kane the next Sunday as the club
was in badly crippled condition.
The boys, however, are going
INTO the game next Sunday with a
determination to win. The Grip
pies have recovered and will be
back in the game and Clyde Parks,
st. Maries old time favorite, will
be in the box for the locals. He
has been pitching fine ball all of
this season and will greatly
strengthen the team. st. Joe,

FREIGHT RATE HEARING

A hearing in what is known as the
Sheridan coal rate case, involving
carload freight rates on coal from the
mines of Wyoming to points in South
Dakota, commenced in Sioux Falls
last week. The result of the hearing
is of the utmost Importance to the
residents of South Dakota, particu-
larly residents of the western half of
the state, who, if the freight rates are
reduced as the result of the hearing,
will be given the benefit of cheaper
coal from Wyoming. The result of
the hearing will also have important
bearing on the future development of
the coal mining industry of Wyom.
ing. Government geological reports
credit the state of Wyoming with pos
sessing the most extensive soft coal
deposits of any state in the union,
except one. According to these re-
ports there are $4,000 square miles of
coal fields in Wyoming, just beyond
the western boundary of South Da-
kota, containing 10000, 900, 900 tons
Of coal. and Notwithstanding the close
proximity of South Dakota, that
state is deriving no benefit whatever
from its great coal fields because of
the present discriminatory freight
rates

DECORATING CORN PALACE

Mitchell, Sept. 2O.-The crop OF
corn raised in order to decorate the
Corn Palace has proved abundant
enough to answer all purposes of
those in charge of the work. The
corn needed for decorative purposes
has ripened we'll and there is plenty
OF it on hand. Nothing has inter
ferred with the large supply of corn
needed.
The doubling of the small grain
crop III South Dakota this year, as
Indicated by the state crop reports,
several weeks ago made certain that
the sheaves of flax and oats on caps
of the big towers of the Corn Palace
would be superb. 1t is said that the
small grains used in the decorations
are in the finest condition they have
ever been found. Nothing better
illustrates crop conditions in South
Dakota than the quality of the grains
used III the decorating of the most
distinctive agricultural display Of
the northwest.

GERMANY YIELDS

There appears to have come full
restoration of good will between the
United States and Germany, the ugly
differences having been brushed away.
Germany agrees that passenger ships
are to be warned before being attacked
and their passengers given time to es-
cape from the death that has been
thrust upon others under the reckless
ness of the past. This is guaranteed
provided the ships do not attempt to es-
cape and do not offer hostility to the at
tacking submarine.
This is compliance with the demands
of the United States. 1t has been con-
veyed TO Washington by the German
government. The jingoes will now have
time for an uninterrupted breathing
spell,

BANKERS PROTESTED LOUDLY

The breaking of long sustained
banking associations, and lines of
established credit for banks and
bankers, appears to have been the
summary of the complaints voiced
by the bankers from all sections of
the state in their meeting here Fri
day to protest against the proposed
order of the state banks to deposit so
per cent of their surplus with state
banks in reserve towns in the state
of South Dakota.
Tie situation had been gone over
by the bankers in the city and their
views, as endorsed by later comers
was covered in paper which was
read by A. b. Darling of Mitchell.
He took the position that the present
banking system in use in the state is
one built on experience and years of
test, and found to meet the needs of
banking business in the northwest.
Thatthe proposed order is pernici-
Gus, and against the best interests of
the bankers and business men of the
state. Mr.. Darling was followed by
j. H. Lloyd of Lake Preston, A. r.
Brown of Canton, who was especial
ly critical over the attempts of the
order to break up long established
banking associations and relations,
on which this line of credit and at
tempt to compel state bankers to
build up new associations and credits
is in his estimation a detriment.
James HALEY of Rapid City, w. H.
Buchholz of Newell and G. S. Pratt
of Geddes discussed the situation
from the viewpoint of the banker and
did not find it good in any of its feat
lures. In fact the sentiment of the
the fifty or more bankers who were
ready at the call of the meeting in
the afternoon, was decidedly hostile
to the order being put into effect, all
predicting that it would cause trouble
to the local banker and the public.
Governor Byrne and Bank Examin-
er Wingtield listened to the argu-
ments put up against the order, but
made no statements at the time of the
meeting which would indicate that
they would or would not change or
modify the order in the least, and
most of the bankers went away feel
ing that the chances of any change or
modification were very slight.

BANKING ON DEPRESSION

There is no doubt whatever that
the conditions which depressed busi-
ness for a time are steadily losing
their influence. Manufactures, con-
merce, financial activities are all
looking up. AS republican politi-
clan nervonsly put it the other day,
"it is now a race between prosperity
and 1916"-m meaning that he was
afraid prosperity would be here in
overwhelming force before the next
presidential election.

that prosperity will come under the
wire winner.-Boston Post.

FOREST LANDS HELD
FOR ACTUAL SETTLERS

Popular Mechanics: To prevent tim
Der spe culators from interfering with
the settlement of the land by real farm
ers, the government is now withholding
from agricultural entry all heavily tim
bered land in the national forests, until
after the timber has been cut off. In
each case the land will be opened to en-
try as soon as this is done, and settlers
be able to acquire 1T from the govern
ment under the homestead laws instead
OF having to pay from $40 to $50 an acre
to spectators. The care that is being
taken classifying and disposing of the
forest lands is well illustrated in the
kootenai Valley or Montana. Here a
large river winds for 15O miles through
the national forest. The valley is heav-
lily tmbered, but except for detached
sections along the river it is too billy or
too thinly covered with soil to be valua.

OF opening the whole valley to settle.
ment, the forest service has painstak-
lngly surveyed every little river bottom,
island, and bench that contains enough
arabic land to support home, and only
these Will be subject to entry. In this
way more than 500 small homes have
been carved out of the Kootenai nation

timber land has been preserved for the
national government.

SOME CROP STORIES

This is tie time of year when some
very striking stories about the west
ern crops may be looked for. One OF
those current at present is the search
for a boy who was lost in South
Dakota wheat field where the grain
was SO thick and high that he was un.s
able to find his way out. Another is
of cornstalks. sixteen feet in heighth,
with the ears out of reach of the
taliest man, necess itating the aid of
woodchoppers to harvest the crop.
No doubt. there is some exaggeration
IN these stories, but the western
crops this year present many great
features. II is poor wheat field III
