Kite fishing is one OF the latest sports
taken up by fishermen on the Pacific
coast. According to Popular Science, Q
fine corbina "hole" has been discovered
ut Seal Beach, off the pier, just far
enough to be out Of reach OF the best
casters. Instead of employing boats
the fishermen find it greater sport to
use kites, which carry the lines out to
the desired SPOT.

SOUTH DAKOTA BOY WITH
MARINES AT SANTIAGO

!, Madison, S. D.. Nov. 24.-Although
the United States marines are credited
with being in the van Of any of the
military activities Of the American
army or navy, that they have other i'm
portant duties is shown by a letter Just

S6th company of h marines. At pres
ent he n numerous other marines are
stationed on historic ground at Sam
tiago, Cuba, where they nave the i'm
portant duty of guarding a sugar crop

Is in part as follows:
Our camp is located ON San Juan
hill In the outskirts Of Santiago and is
an ideal camping ground. All the old
trenches and artillery emplacements
still remain, owing to the fact that they
We're all cut out Of solid rock and the
elements have had no affect on them.
We are a long ways from France, but
we are guarding the sugar crop. which
is estimated at 100000 tons. The loss
or this crop would mean thai a num-
Der Of our Madison friends would be
forced to drink sugarless coffee"
The marines with whom young Oliver
is doing duty have travelled about 5000
miles since last May, and expect to be
on the move again as soon as the
sugar crop in that part Of Cuba has
been taken care of.

BURNING MAIL SACKS
BELIEVED |. W. W. WORK
Fire at Humboldt, s. D., De.
stroys Sacks, Letters and
Parcel Post Packages.

Humbolt, S. ID, Nov. 26.-That the
phosphorus gang OF the /. w. w, in ad-
dition to destroying elevators and
barns and other property, now has
taken on" the task Of destroying mai!
is strongly suspected as the result OF
an occurrence in Humboldt, where one
mail pouch filled with mail was COM
pletely destroyed and two others were
badly burned as the result of a myster-
ious fire.
The mail sacks were thrown on the
platform of the Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapoliS & Omaha railway depot from
a passing passenger train, and were
left lying there for a time until an as
sistant could take them to the Humboldt
postofffce. A oma who passed tho
pile of mail sacks discovered that they
were on fire. One Of the pouches which
was badly burned contained parcel post
matter. A large number of letters were
consumed in the pouch which was COM
pletely destroyed.
1t is now believed that a small guam
tity Of phosphorus had been placed in
one Of the sacks. either for transmits
sion to some one in Humbolt to destroy
the mail or for the deliberate purpose
of setting the railway depot on fire.
Had his occurred the fire would easily
have been communicated to adjoining
buildings. Efforts now are being made
to fully solve the mystery Of the fire.

North Platte Wheat is
All Riqht; South a Problem

General Manager Holdrege Of the
Burlington is back from an extended
trip over Nebraska, and while he was
away he visited large area of the
winter wheat producing section of the
state. Speaking Of conditions and
prospects for wheat crop he said:
AT this time it is difficult to say
just what the condition Of the winter
wheat is. North of the Platte the plant
is in very good condition and the
fields are looking fine. To the south
it is a problem. There is no question
but that there has been damage by
winter killing, but how much it is
impossible to aIy. Many fields are
being plowed up and spring wheat
planted. Other fields will be plowed
up and planted to corn, and still other
fields will be left for time to ascer-
tain what will be the ultimate result.
THE situation Is peculiar. for in
some fields where the blades of the
plant are a bright green, the roots are
dead, and in other fields, where the
plant appears to be brown and killed
out, close examination discloses that
there is life in the roots and that new
stools are shooting up.
while the crop may not be up to
normal, it will lack good deal of
