Communicated.

Despite popular opinion and despite
the fact that many In favor Of Commls-
sion Form of Government threw them
selves whole-heartedly into the issue,
the voters of the city saw fit to refuse
this meritorious measure 1t is prob
ably due to the fact that many did not
understand fully the import of this
step. However that may be, there is
still another method by which the cit
liens of Hays may gain desirable
form of government. It is true that
the commission form was weak in plac-
es, that it left too many loop-holes
through which the officials in charge
might shift responsibility. It is true
that politics might govern, to large
extent, the ruling of the municipality.
It is true that we should have the same
men, however faithful, with power to
rule, the same way we now have
But this can be obviated in simple,
expedient way. We can have a city
manager form of municipal govern
ment. Briefly, the plan IS this: One
man, preferably man outside the city,
and non-partizan, assumes charge Of
all the affairs of the city-the president,
if you please. He shall be paid a sal
airy, not exceeding the salaries we
would have paid our city commissioners
in the commission form. Under him is
a body of citizens, elected on the nom
partizan ticket, who shall be the heads
OF the different departments, under the
guidance of the city-manager. Three
or five men of recognized business abil-
ity will compose this body. In this
way. all responsibility will be fixed.
This plan has been tried in various
places, achieving it's greatest success
in Dayton, Ohio, and is generally known
as the Dayton plan. It has been tried
successfully in Abilene, Caldwell, Cir

FOREST NOTES.

One ton of conlferous wood wacte
will produce from l 5 to 25 gallons of
l90-proof alcohol.
The woodlots Of the United States
contain about 10 per cent of the to-
tai standing timber in the country.
Grazing experts of the forest SER
vice estimate that the cost of produc-
ing lambs in the northwestern states
is s1.S2 per head.
The bark of black oak, or yellow
oak as it is often called on account
OF the color of the inner bark, is now
used for dye-making.
The stand of timber on the two
great national forests in Alaska is
estimated by the forest service as
over 20 billion board feet, while the
annual growth will, 1t is said, pro-
duce of pulpwood alone enough for
the manufacture of three Thousand
tons of wood pulp day.
Oak is the most suitable wood
for carving, on account of its durabi-
lity and toughness, without being
too hard. Chestnut, American wal
nut, mahogany and teak are also
desirable, while for fine work Italian
walnut, lime, sycamore, apple, pear
or plum are generally chosen.

from George Bland, that this tin ore

son OF DAVID II. CLARK
SUING FOR INHERITANCE

\ suit involving an estate valued
at $1,000,0O0 has been started in
the Pennington county circuit court.
The plaintiff is David II. Clark, son
of the late David II. Clark of Rapid
City and the defendants are Char
lotte Gardner, mother of the plain
tiff, William Gardner, husband OF
Charlotte Gardner and stepfather of
the plaintiff Attorney for the plain
tiff, who claims a half interest in
the estate, are Buell. & Denu of Ra-
pid City and Kellar & Stanley of
Lead.
Four months ago David II. Clark,
young man of thirty years. whose
life had been a round of uncertain
occupation was employed in a men
ial capacity in a Minneapolis garage.
He had little knowledge Of his ia
ther, who had died when the boy
was five years old and from his mo-
ther, who had married within a year
after the boy had lost his father, he
learned nothing that would lead him
to believe he was entitled to a sta
tion in life different from the one
he occupied.
He remained in igorance of the
fact that he was the legal heir of one
of South Dakota's richest men, until
last June when by chance, Edward
Lennon of Lennon, s. D., a close
friend of the deceased Clark, during
the latter's life time, happened upon
the young man in the Minneapolis
garage and told him the story OF
his fathers death and the machina-
tions OF his mother and stepfather
which had deprived him of his inher-
itance. Subsequently young Clark
visited Lemomn at his home and
there learned more of his deceased
fathers affairs and on Mr.. Lemmon's
advice went to Rapid City, where he
consulted Judge McGee and Attorney
Charles Buell., his interview result
ing in the retention of Buell. e
Denu and Kellar & Stanley as attor-
neys to institute suit for the recov-
cry of his share of his fathers estate
valued at the time of his death at
100000 and now said to be worth
$1,000,000.
