VISIT OLD BATTLE FIELD.

Thos. Welsh and MI. Thelington.
two old soldiers who were in the fam
Gus Indian battle at the Killdeel
mountains on July %, 1864, spent a
few days here attending the ceTebra-
ton and made a trip to the mountains
to look over the scene of the battle.
This was their first visit to this Sec
ton for more than fifty years, al
though they made an effort to get
here on the anniversary celebration
of the battle last year but were de-
tanned in Dickinson on account of
rain. These gentlemen have a vivid
recollection Of the march from the
Missouri river to the Bad Lands, and
relate many instances of skirmishes
with the Indians. They were very
much interested in the country dur
ing their visit here, and said they
never expected to see a progressive
town so near the scene Of the fam
GUS battle of fifty years ago.-Kill-
deer Tribune.

MAKING THE FARM PAY
BETTER PROFITS PER ACRE

People who have travelled in Eu-
rope tell us that the way in which
farm land is utilized there as COM
pared to America, is simply marvel
Gus. Intensified farming some peo-
pie call it. There the price of land
is so high that to make any money
at all per acre, there must be no
idle land.
Thirty to forty bushels of wheat
per acre is no uncommon yield on
some lands in Europe that have been
farmed for generations.
One thing that amazes American
tourists is the vast amount of un-
used land in northwestern farms.
Many a farm is only a half under
| cultivation, and in far too many in
stances that half is not producing
anything like what it should and
could produce per acre.
There may be several reasons for
this but we often wonder when we
see the buildings on some farms
whether the regular daily chores
don't take so much time that there
isn't enough time left to give land
the attention it should have.
In these days of high priced land
with prices continually climbing
with grain prices at an unusually
high level and with a big demand for
hogs, cattle, cream, chickens and eggs
at very profitable prices, it would
seem as though every American far
mer would realize the absolute neces-
sity for farm buildings that would
make possible the greatest production
of grain and live stock at the lowest
cost per bushel and per head. This
would mean barn, hog house, chicken
house and complete equipment that
would save time, labor and feed
and at the same time enable the
stock to do it's best because of clean,
well ventilated and sanitary sur
roundings.
It is gratifying to note the num-
Der of farmers in this immediate
vicinity who do realize this and are
taking advantage of the unusual con-
ditions in the building material mar
ket this year, to make their equip
ment up-to-date.
With conditions excellent for small
grain and prospects for corr improv-
ing, this wave of farm improvement
ought to spread rapidly so that the
greatest number possible may take
advantage of cheap material and
labor this year to make their farm
buildings modern and easier to work
with.

RANCH AND FARM

P. S. Suits has sold his Percheron
stallion to Frank Sadowsky.
Powdered h~ellibore, in the proper

According to the Bowman Pioneer,
it's wool growers were still holding
out last week for higher prices. The
Maynard and johnson clips went at
25A cents but other growers wanted
26 to 81 cents.
Last week 5000 pounds of wool
sold in Belle Fourche at 28A cents.
Prices ranged from % cents to 28A
| cents, with Is cents in a majority of
cases. Several sales were made at
26 to 81 ga cents.
The sheriff of Butte county, S. D.,
was in Bowman and New England
last week hunting two horse thieves
who got away with eight horses from
the Belle Fourche country. T. F.
Roberts reported that the horses and
men passed his ranch July 2, headed
north.
July Is saw the federal quarantine
in Montana, put in effect a year ago
on account of the foot and mouth
disease, lifted. Wisconsin cattle,
shipped to Montana, must be accom-
panied by federal certificates, the
state certificates having been found
to accompany cattle affected with
tuberculosis.
The first carload of pure-bred
stock to be secured through the eff
forts Of County Agent r. D. Latin
was received recently by Levi Dodge
of Lightning Creek township. The
shipment consisted Of twenty-four
head of registered Herefords bought
from the Baldwin estate at Glendale.
In the shipment were ten cows, four
heifers, nine calves and one bull
Mr.. Dodge will use these animals as
the basis for a herd of registered
Herefords and expects to make a
business Of raising them and selling
them for breeding purposes. He
starts out with one of the best
punches Of cattle ever brought into
the country.-Adams County Record

Originating in the Arthur &
Lewis fish house on the Atlantic
Coast Line wharf, fire Tuesday
morning destroyed five buildings,
portion of the wharf and five
railroad cars and did other dam
age the aggregate loss sustained
being estimated at $50,00000 to
$75,O0O.OO.
How the fire started is un-
known. 1t was discovered at a.
bout 4 O'Clock in the morning
when it was already well under
way. The alarm brought out all
the people of the town, and men
put forth heroic efforts to stop the
progress of the flames. Good
work was done in saving the two
houses that are left standing on
the main portion of the wharf, as
well as several boats that were
moored to the wharf, and, if it
had not been for several sections
of defective hose that had to be
contended with, even better work
might have been done.

County Commissioners in Special
Session

The DeSoto County Board Of
Commissioners are assembled in
special session today. They are
perusing the new law regarding
the regulation of finance disburse-
ments of county commissioners.
The new law is quite stringent
and curbs the commissioners
powers considerably.
The commissioners of DeSoto
county stated to us this morning
that they like the new law and are
glad that it is now in effect.
DeSoto's county officers-all of
them-are strictly right, however,
and stringent laws are not really
needed to get them to go right
they do it tNof their own accord.
Authorities of the state govern
ment have stated that the records
Of DeSoto county are the very
best kept records in the state, and
that every officer in DeSoto coun-
ty conducts his respective office
in the best manner possible
which goes to show that we are
not only fortunate in this day and
time of Investigations and prose
cution of officials, but that we are
possessed of the very best variety
of official timber.-Tuesday Ar
cadia News.

PUNTA GORDA FISHING INTERESTS
SUSTAIN HEAVY LOSS FROM FIRE
Very Small Amount of Insurance Industry Temporarily Crippled
and the Community Whole Affected Will be Sever
al Months Before Firms Can Resume Business

The loss is a severe one ON both
those directly affected and the
town as whole, for it cripples for
several months the chief industry
of this section. The monetary
loss is more than it would other
wise have been because of the
fact that it is the closed season
and all of the fish dealers had call
ed in and stored up their nets,
gears, etc, representing thous-
ands of dollars in investment.
1t is in the nets, gears, boats
and camp supplies and materials,
mouse equipments and buildings
that the loss is sustained. Other
than one or two small skiffs, no
boats were lost, though number
were damaged and a number OF
boat engines that We're stored III
the houses were lost.
Deans boat house, wharf OF
Punta Gorda Ice Co., j. G, Lewis
fish house and one house of the
Punta Gorda Fish Company were
saved.

MORRIS WHIDDEN KILLED
BY BERRY BENTON
Tragedy Occurred Near Citrus
Center Sunday Afternoon

A tragedy occurred near Citrus
Center, forty-six miles southeast
of Arcadia Sunday afternoon
when Morris Whidden of LaBelle
was shot and instantly killed by
Berry Benton, who afterwards
walked to Arcadia and gave HIM
self up to the sheriff.
The affair is said to have been
the result of AN old feud, though
Benton, who stated that he killed
.Whidden in self-defense, claims
that it was the elimination Of a
quarrel over a dog.

water mains during the fire, but
much of the effect of it was lost
in the bursting of sections Of weak
hose and the leaking of other por-
tions that were inadvertently got
ten hold of in the hurry to get a
line of hose to the fire.
While several OF the fish COM
panies will at once take steps
looking to rebuilding and resum-
ing business, one or two of the
firms are likely not to again en-
gage in the business. With those
rebuilding, it may take several
months for them to again get
ready for business, as it will be
some two months before the
wharf is rebuilt and put in it's
former usable condition.
1t is a hard blow to local indus
try at this time, but it is confident
ly expected that in the course of
a few months all will be rebuilt
in a better and more substantial
way, and business be going on as
though nothing had happened.

and its means for living in com
fort.
One way to accomplish these
things for the towns good is
through the medium Of an aggres-
sive, forceful land progressive
commercial organization. Every
body ought to be interested in
such a body. The work of build
ing up this town ought not to be
delegated to merely one man or
to any one set of men. 1t ought
to be everybody's business.

Towns Are Like Men

There ism t much difference be-
tween a town and the people who
live in it. The man who has no
desire to better himself never gets
much better. He accumulates
neither wisdom nor wealth.
But the man who studies how to
add to his knowledge and to his
worlds goods ultimately becomes
independent in purse and mind. So
does the town become independ-
ent that seeks to add to its wealth

the newcomers out to see his grove
on Pineapple river, when the lady
objected saying they had better

Interests
AN INSTANCE is RELATED
A Chicago Concern Gave This
Place Thou ght When Seeking a
Location for Large Ship Build
ing Plant and Allied Works.

/
AS showing that Punta Gorda
comes to the attention of people
in other parts now and then, and
in favorable way, a letter re-
ceived by Hewitt Brothers from
the Benjamin j. Glaser Realty
and Engineering Company of Chi
cago, who at the time of writing
the letter were seeking location
for an immense ship building
plant, is Of interest. The sub
stance of the letter is as follows:
"We have under contemplation
the construction and erection of a
shipbuilding plant at some advan-
! Itageous point located on either
Atlantic, Gulf or Pacific coast.
The cost of the plant to be in the
Ineighborhood OF $5,000,0o000.
"The plant consists Of a gray
ing dock, 1000 feet long and 100
feet wide in the gates. Two ma
rine railways will be constructed
in connection with the plant, one
to handle vessels up to 1000 tons
and the other from 1000 to 1000
tons.
"ln connection with the ship
building plant there will be erect
led different buildings which will
be filled with the best machinery
appliances for facilitating opera
tions in construction and general
work in the fabrication of steel
and in preparations of the extrem-
lity diversified casting, forging
and wood-workings entering into
the building and repairing Of ves-
sells.
As an inducement to our prin-
cipals to locate and build such a
plant in your vicinity, as we have
briefly outlined, we ask from you
a deep water site of not less than
so acres, the so acres preferably
to be square in form as we will
require frontage of not less
than 1900 feet. We will also re-
|quire exemption of taxation for
a period of ten years from compile
ton of plant and cash bonus OF
$500,000.00 to be paid when the
signing of satisfactory contracts
is made between all the interested
parties.
eff you are in position to
furnish us blue prints showing the
location of the proposition that
you offer, we will be pleased to
have same.
| eff it is within the power of
your body to meet our require
ments, we will be pleased to enter
into negotiations with you and a
Representative from our office will
arrange to come down and look
your location over, il same be
considered feasible
"We note that you have only
90 feet of water at the end of your
city dock which means that dredg-
ing of considerable magnitude
would have to be accomplished to
accommodate our proposition. F"
