OLD MISSOURI BOAT
TO Be DUG OUT
Buried i'm Sand For More Than
Fifty Years

George Cole of Alcester can't give
up the idea that there is a large
quantity of good whiskey inside Of
that steamboat that was sunk on the
sandbar in the Missouri river south
of Elk Point, 81 years ago. George
located the boat some years ago
buried about 20 feet below the sur
face in a bed of sand and silt. He
had workmen dig down to the upper
deck but he did not have the equip
ment to go below.
Everything was as sound as the
dav the boat was sunk. Last week
he made arrangements with the
Hawarden Sand and Gravel Co.. for
the use of the machinery they have
been using to pump gravel out of
bottum of the Big Sioux river, and
he shipped it to Elk Point yesterday
and will install it along side the old
boat. With this machinery he hopes
to pump out the sand and silt in a
short time and find out what is in
side. 1t is known that there is a
large quantity of lumber on the
boat. 1t is in a good state of pre-
servation and will pay for the ex-
cavating expenses IL those 81 year
old whiskey casts have withstood the
ravages Of Missouri river water. Mr.
Cole is of the opinion that a moon
sinners still will not be in it in COM
parison. A lot of Sioux City thirst
les have offered him $40 a gallon for
the first barrel taken out. -Hawar-
den Independent.

DRACS SON
HOME ON BLANKET
Found on Prairie With Broken
Leg. Mother Gets Him Home

Pierre, Feb. Is. -Dragging her
son over the snow covered prairies
a saddle blanket taken from her
riding horse was the heroic method
adopted by Mrs Anderson of Butte
county, when she found the young
man lying on the prairie with a
splintered leg caused by his horse
falling with him when it struck an
lev spot in rounding up a bunch of
cattle. The mother found her son
shortly after his injury, and know
ing that it was imperative TO get
him to shelter as soon as possible
took the blanket from under her
saddle. and placing him upon this,
tied a rope to the blanket and the
other end to her saddle horn, and
soon drew the injured boy to the
ranch housr. where a physician was
summoned to care for his injuries.

maintain a national highway to belt

boundary lines.
A national highway, to be used in
times Of peace by automobiles. auto
trucks and other vehicles for COM

lily useful. when war threatens or
we are attacked. Over it men in
greatest numbers munitions and
supplies a be transported quickly
to any point north, south. east or
west.
A national highway. 10000 miles
long, that will give work at good
wages for many years to at least
100, 900 American citizens in good
times and to several times that
number in "hard times" The en-
ployment of new men periodically.
will add greatly to our trained re-
serves.

MONEY A DRUG"
SAY BANKERS
Farmers Paying OFF Mortgages
And Buying Stock

The money loaning business is a
very good barometer of conditions
in any locality. Reports of local
bankers and loan agents in most
localities in South Dakota are to the
effect that the loaning business has
fallen off more than fifty per cent
within the past wear. They also
note the fact that many farmers are
paying off mortgages and adding to
the surplus money held in banks,
which is now greater than ever be-
fore in the the states history. A
banker at Aberdeen sizes it up thus
in the News:
"A leading Aberdeen banker said
today: There is less call for and
less real need of money bv the farm
ers today than there ever has been
in the history Of the banking bust
ness in this section of the state.
The unusually fortunate coincidence
of last years tremendous wheat
crop with the high prices caused by
the war. brought sudden wealth
and prosperity to the farmer. But
the prosperity hasn't gone to his
head and he realizes that year in
and wear out it is not
sound business sense and good farm
ing to be dependent on either a good
wheat yield or a good market. Con-
sequently he is paving off the mort
gage on his place and buying more
and better cattle and getting into
position where he will not be de-
pendent on the vagaries of season or
market"

Popular Court
Of an Old Timer

Judge Levi Hubert, of Wessing-
ION, was a Miller visitor Friday
Mr. Hubert was one Of Hand codn-
tvs very early settlers, in the town
ship bearing his name-ll1 &c. He
was there during the great snow
winter of 1891. In January 1882,
the files of this paper contains this
item: IL. w. Hubert came up
from his ranch in the Washington
Hills last week, bringing a nice beef
with him Mr. H. furnishes the
Millerites with meat"
That was "a years ago, but time
sits lightly on Lewis head, and few
of his present day friends would
suspect that he is near 100 years
old! Some years ago he sold the
ranch and moved into Washington,
where the citizens think 81 much of
him that they made him municipal
Judge. HIS court is popular. He
settles beligerants, lectures the way
ward, joins the ~love-sicks, and adj
monishes the already married all
with a grace and dignity that puts
it over with satisfaction to all
concerned.

The Party Organs
Are Passing Away

All the newspaper publishers of
Bookings county have reached an
agreement to publish no announce
ments for Office except on an ad-
vertising basis-A most wise and
proper conclusion. The most foolish
thing that a newspaper publisher
can do is to get the idea into his
head that his paper is a party pos
session to be used as the campaign
manager sees fit. This used to be
the dostrine and during those DAYS
the business Of publishing a news
paper was improbable and the bust
ness was more or less of a passing
joke, in the minds of many. But
those days have gone. the news
paper business is standardized. and
those who want publicity-the only
thing the publisher has to sell
have to pay for it, politicians as
we'll as merchants. We congratu-
late the Brookings county publish
ers on understanding their own
business Sioux Falls Argus Lead
er.
The old party organ has gone to
join the ancient paper that was trad
ed for produce or cordwood. Its
decadence is largely due to modern
laws. like the anti-pass, non-par-
tisan printing, the primary. the
marking of advertising, etc. 1t
was treason for the ancient organ to
publish any kind Of news that did
not boost for its own party or give
the other fellows Hail Columbia in
all departments, news. editorial, or
advertising columns. For this sup
port it expected the party patronage.
Today. the modern newspaper is a
business institution. with space to
sell for proper publicity at a fair
price based upon the number Of its
readers. Political patronage is no
longer its life. 1t is but an incident
of business.
The modern newspaper man is a
merchant. He sells publicity to
those who want it. He may be a
party man, personally, hold his own
political beliefs, and express them
as do other men of business. These
are the maleniable rights possessed
of all men.
The republican store keeper, the
democratic professional man, the
prohibition farmer or banker, or
the socialist mechanic or laborer.
sells his wares to any man who can
pay for them. He neither asks his
customers politics. nor is he asked
about his own politics. He simply
t~ransacts business upon a business
basis, regardless of politics or re
ligion. Since the modern news
paper must be a business institution
or die, 1t is naturally adjusting its
self to methods established by ex
perience in other lines of business.

Alfalfa Nurse Crop
Not Necessary

In western South Dakota it is
probably not advisable to GOV a
nurse crop with alfalfa. However,
the weeds should be clipped about
every three weeks and allowed to
lie on the ground in order to protect
the young alfalfa. Be sure that the
ground is we'll prepared, and if no
corn or potato land is available, be
sure to roll the field after spring
blowing until it is thoroughly COM
pact. Then loosen the surface with
a harrow. Probably more alfalfa
failures are due to a lack of a com.
pact field than to any cause.-Man-
ley Champlin, Assistant Agronomist.
