DAN PATCH ROAD IN TROUBLE

The Dan Patch railroad with ter
minal at Minneapolis is in trouble, and
the receiver has asked Judge Booth to
end the terminal contract with the
Luce Line because he declares this
contract is confscatory. The Dan
Patch line run into the city over the
Luce Line terminal for which it con-
tracted to pay 10000 per year. The
road has not been paying and recently
went into the hands of a receiver.
The Dan Patch line was o~ver-capital-
lied. 1t carries a burden of $21O, 900
per mile on it's track of So miles.
Three miles of this runs in over the
Luce Line terminal but is not owned
by the company. This reverts to the
Luce Line il the Dan Patch line fails
to pay rental.
The story of the trouble has local in
terest in this: that considerable stock
in the Luce Line is owned here, and
the fight to annull the contract be-
tween the two roads will mean much
to these stockholders.
The Luce Line has go miles now in
operation and 20 miles more are being
built this year. To cut of $40, 900 from
its earnings would hurt the road some.

BOYS AT FRONT SATISFIED

Brownsville (Texas) Daily Sentinel:
The editor has fully made up his mind
that if he ever falls heir to a railroad
ticket long enough he is going to
South Dakota. If the soldier boys now
On the border below us are a sample
of the people of that state, and without
doubt they are, blamed if we wouldn't
like to visit the state and get %acquaint-
&c with them in their homes. 1t is
natural to expect soldiers to have a
kick. Officers who have spent thirty.
years in the harness says a kick is as
much the part of a soldier as it is a
part of the makeup of a Missouri
mule, yet after talking with a hundred
or more of the rank and file Of South
Dakota militiamen, we have failed to
meet one of them with a crouch.
Everything suits them, the food suits
them, their location suits them, the
climate suits them alright, and there
are sufficient bugs, insects, small ami
mails and reptiles in close proximity to
their camp to afford amusement. A
grizzled old sergeant, who has spent
many years in the army, both as a
regular and as a militiaman, stepped
in the door last night and remarked:
"Say, do me a favor. I want you to
say that all this bull which has been
printed in northern papers about poor
mess, is all to the bad. We got a cook
that can take a dishpan and a box of
matches and make Delmonica look
like a selling platter. And we've got
a quarter master that can get his
share of what the government is issu-
ing to the soldiers. And if anybody
goes hungry it's because he is too busy
hustling new bugs for his show to hear
the mess call. Say for me there amt
going to be no knocks about this
try going up from the South Dakota
bunch"

ter treatment at the hands Of the next
Legislature, when we will recommend
a reasonable amount for our salaries
and expenses.

DRUGGIST
UP AGAINST LAW
CHARGED WITH SENDING OBJ
SCENE MATTER THROUGH
MAlL-ARRESTED TUESDAY
WAIVED PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION
Was Bound over to Await Action Of
Federal Court-Admitted
His Guilt

Henry w. Schulz, a druggist at
Bruce, was arrested Tuesday after
moo and charged with sending OBJ
scene matter through the u. S. mail.
1t seems that several letters were
sen through the mail during the
months of February and March, and
the postal authorities, in connection
with Sheriff MINER, have been work
ing on the case since. Tuesday
Deputy Sheriff Mel Donaldson was
sent over to Bruce with a John Doe
subpoena for Mr.. Schulz and he came
over to Bookings to appear in the
case. He was then charged with the
crime, and at the hearing before
Justice Norman Hanson he waived ex-
animation and was bound over under
81, 900 bonds to appear at the October
term of federal court at Sioux Falls.
Wallace e. Purdy, states attorney for
this county, appeared for the federal
authorities.
Schulz admits having a hand in writ
ing the letters and finally signed a
statement to that effect in the pres
ence of Mr.. Purdy and Sheriff MINER.
The postal authorities give Sheriff
Miner much credit for getting to the
bottom of the crime and in securing
a signed admission from Schulz.

OBITUARY

Byron Wesley Breed, born at But
%ternut, Otsego county, N. Y, May $,
1914, was the oldest son of Samuel
Scott Breed, and at the age of ten
years moved with his parents, grand
parents and uncles to the then western
frontier of 10 Davies county, Illinois,
in 1854, and two years afterward be-
came a resident of Grant county, Wis,
his father having purchased n home
there in a comparative wilderness.
When the rebellion broke out Byron
enlisted as a volunteer in the 35th Wis
consin infantry and served until the
close Of the war, when he received an
honorable discharge from the service
of his country.
February II, 1873, he was welded
to Eupha c. Clifton and after residing
at Patch Grove and Bloomington, Wis,
for a few years moved with his family
to South Dakota in 1879, taking up a
soldiers homestead in %Brookings coun-
ty, where he resided until 1896, when
the family moved to Flandreau, S. d.,
and from there to eastern Colorado,
afterwards returning to South Dakota
and has since resided at Estelline.
To the union were born four sons
and five daughters: j. Scott Breed,
Colman; Mrs. Bertha Ross, Estelline;
Rollie Breed, Bonneville, Ark; Mrs.
Emma Keck, Rocky Ford, Colo; Mrs.
Ina Malamphy. Colorado Springs, Col;
Lewis Breed, P%ipestone, Mimi; Mrs.
Edna Fitzpatrick, Pipestone, Mimi;
Mrs. Maggie Leitz, Estelline, S. D.;
Corporal Harvey Breed, deceased.
The only break in the family. pre-
ccding the death of the father and hus-
band, was caused by the death of Har-
voy, who gave his life in the First
Regiment South Dakota infantry at
Manila, p. l., during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and whose remains are at
rest in the Flandreau cemetery.
Byron Breed was a man of honor
and integrity, respected by all VINO
knew him-loved by his family and
esteemed by a vast number of life
long friends. His word was as good as
his bond; he was generous to a fault
and ever ready to defend the weak
and worthy at all times.
About eight weeks ago he entered
the hospital at Dell Rapids to undergo
what seemed to be a comparatively
simple operation, but the intense heat
and unavoidable conditions brought on
other complications which Slapped his
splendid physical system and death
came last Monday evening at-7:4O to
relieve him from all suffering
At the time of his death all but two
members of his family, including his
beloved wife who had been at his bed
side constantly, were present, as was
his only brother, Geo. N. Breed, of
Brookings.

SEEKS TO CUT OUT
WASTE ON FARMS
PRODUCERS AT THE BIG DECEM-
Der CONFERENCE WILL HEAR
PLANS TO STOP LEAKS
RURAL CREDITS LAW TO Be DISCUSSED
How to Adjust State Laws to Conform
With Federal Law Will be
Part of Program

How to check the billion dollar
waste in the marketing of farm pro-
duets will be the dominant theme of
the fourth national conference on mar
keting and farm credits, called to meet
in Chicago December 4 and 5.
Farmers of all states are expected
to unite in a discussion of ways and
means to remedy a condition termed
"wasteful and inquititous in the ex-
treme" by the committee in it's meet
ing notice.
Surveys will be made prior to the
winter gathering that will show the
movement of crops such as livestock,
grain, cotton and hay. The whole milk
problem and it's relation to city dis
%tribution will be worked Out.
Practical plans will be drawn for
eliminating waste, improving farm pro-
ducts and increasing the consumption
of certain farm crops.
Half of the conference work will be
devoted to rural credits and the fed.
eral farm loan act will come in for it's
share of criticism.
"The delegates will analyze the
scope and limitations of the act" said
Secretary Charles w. Holman, of
Madison, Wis, at Chicago when dis
cussing the meeting. And when they
are through, the American farmer will
know what to expect under its terms.
Contrary to the general belief, this act
does not solve the rural credit prob
lem. 1t is a beginning, but a crude
one. 1t may prove to be almost inoper-
alive in a number of states where fed
eral jurisdiction will clash with exist
ing homestead laws.
Nor does the act touch even remote
ly the question Of personal credit and
it is a long way from striking at the
great problem of turning tenants and
landless men into home owning farm
ers."
How to adjust state laws to harmon
ize with the act will be shown by
speakers at the conference. Aid for
the landless mar and the immigrant
will be discussed. They expect dele
gates from every state in the union,
and from Canada. A feature of the
winter session will be hearings to
bring out needed information. The
results Of careful investigation and
long experience will be presented on
practical phases of the questions.
Farmer organizations will be invited
to send men to tell their troubles.
The conference is ar open forum
now in it's fourth year. 1t is non-par-
tisan. It's deliberations are followed
up from year to year by committees
and special bodies working for the
delegates.
