o be dependent IN clay, for 1t has
been discovered that bricks may be
made without clay. A great number OF
waste products are available, and a
factory is being built in Illinois which
will make use of the tailings of coal
mines. The new process consists in
chemically combining any coarse ma
terial containing silica with a binder of
finely divided particles OF silica, alu-
NINA, potassium. or sodium. in suitable
proportions to insure a binder with a
low fusing point, as compared with the
coarse body material. The bricks are
nodded under high pressure, preferably
in a dry state and are fired in a man
ner similar to that used in making or
binary brick, but the time required q
not nearly as long. Bricks made by
this process have been tested and nave
shown very satisfactory absorption
qualities, and have withstood a tenn
perature OF $500 degrees Fahrenheit
without cracking or showing damage.
They have undergone crushing tests OF
10000 pounds a square inch without
failure.

Albert Bourne, a former resident o.

written a letter to old friends in Egan
In which he tells something of the

things he says:

only is months since I was with you

months here facing death, and yet
thank God. l am still living and in good
health. No one knows how good 1t is
to live only when they are passing
through these terrible scenes out here
II can't understand how some people

say that thank God is the most COM

BOARDS HOLD
CONTROL over ROAD
TAX LEV|ES, RULING
Township Supervisors May Not
Spend Funds Raised BY
Commissioners.

Pierre, S. D., July 31.-Upon inquiry
from Bon Homme county. the attorney
general rules that county commls-
.sioners, and not township supervisors
have entire control Of the tax levied
by the county commissioners for roads,
in addition to the road tax levied by,
the several townships, for both OF
which the law definitely provides.
The county commissioners, In
handling such a fund, he holds, are
given power under the provision re-
quiring its use for the benefit" Of the
township where 1t is received, to use
it upon roads leading to or from such
township, as well as those actually In
the township, if 1T Is used in such a
way as to benefit public travel by ne
residents Of that township which PAID
the tax. In some localities, the town
ship supervisors, who do have control
Of the regular ROAD a levied by the
various townships, have tried to take
charge of this additional road tax,
which the county commissioners levy,
at a rate not to exceed 5 mills, unless
a special vote by majority Of the cleo
tors directs them to levy it higher,
up to 10 mills.

DESPITE SERIOUS PROBLEMS,
CROPS ARE VERY PROMISING

Miller. S. D., Aug. 4.-The wheat har-
vest began here today, although it will
not be in full blast until August 5. 1t
is nearly three weeks later than last
year. The excessive rainfall has de-
layed the barley n oats harvest, some
of which has lodged, and the ground
is too wet for the machines to oper-
ate. If the rains continue through the
wheat harvest there will be serious
loss. Harvest hands are here in suf-
ficient numbers, but are having to wait
for dry weather before the farmers will
hire them. This is causing complaint.
IL they go on. as many of them threaten
to do. then there will be a serious labor
problem to solve when the harvest
starts. The estimated Yields of grain
by expert grain men is: Wheat up to 80
bushels to the acre; oats as high as
10 bushels, and barley so: other small
grain equally good. Corn is coming on
rapidly and hay is immense. No one
now doubts the serious problem of
gathering and marketing the crop, even
with favorable weather.
Fat cattle are being shipped from
the country west of the river and also
from this section. Stock cattle are also
being shipped back from the east to
replace them.

In the days when the buffalo was
found In vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at a gallop, could send an arrow
through a buffalo's body. Remarkable
as this archery was. it did not equal
that reached by the archers of ancient
times. 1t is of record that the Mac
Raes OF Gairlock, Scotland. were such
skilled archers that they could hit a
man at h distance of 500 yards. In
1874 the Turkish ambassador at Lon
don shot an arrow in a field near that
capital Ais yards against the wind.
The secretary of the ambassador. on
hearing the expressions of surprise
from the English gentlemen present,

1t was soon learned that she was at

to enter the river. A large number of
BOATS are due in this port on Monday
mornings and the Manitou, to avoid
possibility of accident in the crowded

effect on the court.
The supreme court, after hearing the

HEAVY LOSS TO WHEAT
CROP IN NORTHERN COUNTIES

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. "A rain last
ing for five hours with a total preci-
tation of more than an inch, did Sc
rious damage to the grain crop over
an area extending from the Minnesota
South Dakota state line to beyond
Milbank on the Missouri river. and
north n south for a distance of 100
miles. The rain was accompanied at
times by wind, and the heavily headed
grain suffered severely, much of it be-
ing beaten down, and it will require
much work to harvest the crop on that
account, while some of it will not be
in shape to harvest at all, it is feared.
The grain was ripening so harvest was
expected to start generally over South
Dakota within the week. Prospects
have not been better for an extraordi-
narily large crop In years. and the
storm will cause a very heavy loss to
farmers.
