Let Us Make 1916
The Best Year Yet

Kadoka is our home, we expect
to spend good many years here
and like the other citizen who feels
as we do, we have ambitions to
see our little city prosper in every
way. We want our business men,
everyone, to be successful in their
undertakings-to us, we believe we
are right, this success can be
brought about by solidity of
action and the taking advantage of
the opportunities offered the town
of Kadoka. We are situated
among thrifty class of farmers
and raRchmen--not one of which
can help but become rich man il
he has only fair luck--count back
for moment Mr.. Business Man,
and call to mind the different boys
who were hard up few years ago,
and see where those same fellows
are today and remember, that we
have harvested only one crop Of
importance during the past four
years, but the old milk COW has
been working all the time--and
besides this our town has the dis
tinction of being the gateway to
the eastern half of the Pine Ridge
Indian reservation, a country with
out exception that offers the great
est of inducement to the ranchman
of any country in the middle west.
Here you will find running streams
the year around, abundant grasses
for feed and timber for shelter.
All this in the near future is bound
to revert to the good of Kadoka.
Think of the many irrigated farms
which can be operated along White
River in Kadoka's trade. territory,
visit to the fiickcs .Sors Sears
ranches down on the river will
will easily dispel any doubt any
person might have OF what can be
accomplished upon one Of these
irrigated farms. These few things
which the Press man has mention
ed in this little sermon upon our
possibilities as town, are not all
we could name, but to us, we be-
lieve should cause every citizen of
Kadoka to put on his boosting
clothes and get his shoulder to the
wheel Of progress and assist in
every way possible in making
Kadoka better town on Dec. 3Ist,
1916, than it was on the sIst, day
of December the year just past.
The Commercial Club intends hold
ing banquet and entertainment
on Friday evening, Feb. 4th. to
which every citizen of Kadoka and
in our surrounding community, arc
invited to attend, and we do hope
the attendance will be large for in
unity there is strength, and strength
put forth in the right direction will
make Kadoka the best town in the
south half of the west river coun.
try. The opportunities are here
what will you do'

Find Colony Of Deadly
Spiders In Washington

Thousands of miles from its
usual haunts, an isolated colony
of the deadly BLACK Widow"
spider has been discovered by
Professor Trevor Kincaid, of the
University of Washington, along
portion of the west shores of
WILDLY island.
This spider is nearly an inch
long and is Jet black except for a
bright red spot on the abdomen.
1t Is very poisonous, its bite often
causing death. This particular
species is found In Southern

Socialist Party OF
State Is Disrupted

Total disruption of the social
ist party of the state is threaten
ed, according to information
reaching party leaders in Taco
ma. The breaking down of the
organization is the gradual work
of three years, starting with the
party split during the Tacoma
convention in 1913 and culminat-
ing recently at the Seattle city
convention.
A movement is on foot. 1t is
said. to recall members of the
state executive committee with
the hopes of staving off the
smash.
Adam Barth and James Sutton,
both of Tacoma, are members of
the state committee. Recall petit
tions are being circulated against
both men.

Executes
Four Villa

Ell PASO, Jan. 1.-THE dis
torted corpse of Gen. Rodriguez
was exhibited in the yard, of the
Juarez custom house today to-
gether with placard announcing
that the enemies of the defacto
government will meet a like fate.
Four former Villista generals
and eight of their followers have
been executed. Three trains of
refugees, heavily guarded, are
heading for the border today.
British subjects, together with
Americans, are quitting Northern
Mexico.
The British ambassador at
Washington has issued warn

The bitterness over the massa-
ere of Americans is undated.
The sympathy of American SOL
diers was shown Saturday in
rioting at Fort Hancock. The
trouble subsidized after several
Mexicans had been cleaned out.

With II coasting accidents oc-
curing in Tacoma and vicinity
since the snow came, Tacoma po-
lice are attempting today to
arrive at some solution of the
coasting problem.
That the youngsters are taking
undue risks and endangering their
lives each time that they coast
down one of the steep Tacoma
hills is admitted, but the police
see no way of preventing the ac-
cidents except by prohibiting
coasting. Commissioner Mills
refuses to do this.
City's Dilemma.
81 will not restrict the pleas
ures of the children" said Mills.
THE only regulation We have
made Is refusing to permit coast
ers to cross street car tracks. We
cannot shut off any particular
hills for the children, or the peo-
pie would set up mighty howl.
l cannot put officers on the hills
to watch the coasters because then
the city would be technically liza

One of the most serious recent
accidents occurred Saturday

Out of a socialist membership
of $4,000 English-speaking peo-
pie in 1913 the Seattle party has
dropped to a membership of only
1903 voters, II is reported here.
The Tacoma party has lost
ground in practically the same
manner. II is said. There are but
few affiliates now. No active
work is being done by the two
local units. At one time the
party cast nearly 5000 votes in a
city election.

fused to aid the party by quiet

VICTOR'S
OWNERS
P ROBBED

Prosecuting Attorney Remain
announced today that the county
would await the outcome of to-
days federal investigation of the
Victor Ill. disaster last Saturday
before any action would be taken.
II any of the missing bodies are
found, an inquest will be held in
addition to the investigation by
the federal officers, the prose-
cutor said.
1T would be foolish for the
county to summon witnesses and
begin an investigation without
any evidence whatever" he said.
I'VE could swear out charges OF
manslaughter against the owners
of the boat, but that would be of
no value If the U. S. authorities
in Seattle turn around and give
the owners clear bill.
May Go Free
The chances are that the own
ers will be indicated. ~
The Victor III. is in dry dock at
present at Gig Harbor. Resi-
dents of Salmon Beach investi-
gated the hull Saturday night
about $3.50 o'clock at extreme low
tide and said that there were no
bodies in the boat. II there were
any others drowned at the time
the boat capsized, 1t is thought
they were washed out the broken
windows while the boat was being
towed around Point Defiance.
Officers of the Victor believe
there were no lives lost other
than the two Bower children.
1t is thought that few of the
survivors will be able to attend
the investigation in Seattle as
many are still suffering from in
juries and exposure.
Survivors Suffer
Mrs. Bower, mother of the
missing children, Is suffering
from prostration. Peter Sandberg
is still sore and stiff, while S. w.
McGinnis is threatened with
pneumonia from the wetting he
got.
1t was learned today that there
is gap in the federal law re-
garding passenger and freight
vessels under S. feet. The law
does not provide for an inspec-
tion OF the boats nor do the Of
ficers have to be licensed men.
All tugs require inspection, but
small power boats escape. 1t is
doubtful ii the officers of the
Victor can be held responsible
even II they are found criminally
negligent, it is said.

dropping the first charge.
T. M. Vance, attorney for Gil
lies, made his first fight for the
defense at the outset when he at

tutional on the ground women
and not men are entitled to claim
exemption from jury service. His
objection was overruled by Judge
Mitchell before whom Gillies is
