Chimney P~eriscope,

The men in the tireroom Of a fac.
tory cannot always tell, without going
outside to look, whether the chimney
is smoking, and this is important,
both as a matter of economy in burn,
ing the coal, and also to enable them
to conform with smoke regulations.
A writer in Power suggests placing a
mirror outside the building and set
ting it at such an angle that the men,
looking out of the window, can see
the reflection of the top of the stack
in the mirror. In some cases where
one mirror cannot be properly To-
Gated, two might be used for the pur-
pose.

MRS. j.. w. SANFORD WEEDS
EMPLOYEE OF HER THEATER

Chamberlain. S. D., March 29.-The
marriage here of Mrs. j. w. Sanford,
widow OF the late James w. Sanford,
for many years a capitalist and river
boat owner in the Missouri river coun-
try, was an event that attracted con-
siderable attention. Mrs. Sanford be-
came the bride of Roscoe Conklin, an
employee of the theater owned by her.
The theater became the property Of
the new Mrs. Conklin through the pro-
batting of the estate of her husband by
Judge Frank B. Smith, of Mitchell, who
ruled that inasmuch as she made her
home in rooms over the theater, it
could be designated as her homestead
and consequently her dover under the
estate.
The late Mr.. Sanford left considerable
property in and around Chamberlain,
most of it now being under the con-
troll Of a son by a former marriage.

EASTERN CAPITALISTS
PLAN TO EXPLORE FOR
OIL NEAR WATERFOWL
Leases to Be Taken on 10000
Acres of Tr,and-Field Man i
Now Negotiating.

WATERFOWL, S. D.. March pa
company in which 80 Pennsylvania cap
talistS are interested has taken steps
% carry out a project this spring and
summer which they feel certain Will
result in locating rich oil fields north
of WATERFOWL. Their undertaking is
the result of efforts made eight years
ago to locate oil which is in evidence
on the surface, but then abandoned
because of lack of equipment to drill
wells as deep as necessary to reach the
supply. Nearly 5000 acres of land has
been leased and over 5000 acres more
will be secured before work is started.
The company has sent a representa-
tive to WATERFOWL to secure leases and
supervise operations this spring, in the
person of +. C. Weaver, of MeadVllle,
Fa. Outlining the plans of the con-
Germ, he stated that at least -four wells
will be bored this season, and that ma
chinery will be brought here capable OF
going to any depth desired. he sad
drilling will be started about the flrst
of June.
The presence of oil in the area north
of Waterfowl was first discovered
about 10 years ago. During q wet sea-
son the oil could readily be detected
on the surface, and these discoveries
led to the first attempt 10 develop OIL
fields. Samples taken at that time are
still kept by several WatertoWn men.

PENNINGTON COUNTY HOPES
FOR BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT

Broo1ings. S. D.. March 27-The sixth
dents of the eastern section of Pen
nington county are very hopeful that
a big irrigation project, which will
prove a great benefit to that section
Of the county, can be pushed to a sue
cessful conclusion this spring and
summer. 1t is hoped that the irriga-
ton system will be adequate for fur
nishing water for not less tina 10000
acres of land in the Rapid Creek val
ley and the adjacent divide lands.
Some weeks ago permission was Sc
cured from the state engineering de-
partment to store surplus and unap-
p~ropriated flood waters in a reservoir
at Pactola. From there the water is
to be conducted down the channel Of
Rapid creek out of the Black Hills, car
ried out to the divide in canals and
stored in secondary reservoirs and
from these reservoirs carried to the
lands to be irrigated. 1t is estimated
that the flood waters which at present
u out of the country, if controlled
and stored, would be sufficient to ir-
rigate the A 5000 acres during the
months when the. rainfall is at the
lowest stage Of the year.

On SALON|k| line
Germans and Bu|garians Ap-

tons In Doubt.

Athens. March 26, <via Paris, March
IS .)--Dispatches from Saloniki say thai
lbe frontier actions which had hither-
to been considered, as merely trying
out operations on the part of the Bull
garians and Germans are now assum-
ing the character Of a general attack
against the advanced line of the allies.
Considerable vigor is being displayed
and heavy artillery is being employed
on both ides. It is said in both
military and diplomatic circles of the
Teutonic allies there is a belief that
the long prophesied effort to drive the
allies into the sea has begun, but it is
pointed out that these circles, in Athens
at least, are not in a position to be ac-
~curately informed. In entente circles
here, while the Importance of the in
creasing activity of the Buigarians and
Germans is not minimiZed there is a
general conviction that they do not
seriously intend to attempt to captur
Saloniki.

VERDICT HELD EXCESSIVE
ON MALICIOUS PROSECUTION

Mitchell. S. D.. March 25.-That $3,-
800 was an excessive amour of dam
age to allow for malicious prosecution,
when a man is arrested on the charge.
in this one case, at least, was the opin-
ion of the South Dakota supreme court,
which reversed the Dawson county cir
cult court verdict in the case of G. Van
Linden against Anton Oster and order
ed a retrial.
The case originated when Mr.. Oster
had Mr.. Van Linden arrested on The
charge of the abduction of his daughter.
The case was tried before a justice Of
the peace and van Linden was cleared,
the evidence showing that Oster's
daughter had spent the night after a
dance with a neighboring girl, instead
Of with the defendant, as charged. Van
Linden then started suit for malicious
prosecution n won an award for $3,-
800. The court inference is that there
is reason to question the claim that the
father was actuated by malice.
