wage section of the British navy. Be
fore the war no one thought of at
tempting to save such wrecks as are
now brought up from the depths, but
ships now are priceless. The financial
value of the salvage work is enor-
nous. The cargoes salved are them
selves forth many millions of dollars.
Recently big American tanker col
.hded on a dark night in the English
channel with a sturdy British stand
ard ship carrying oil. There was an
explosion of benzine and both vessels
were quickly swept by flames. Of the
crew of the British ship only eight
men, who jumped overheard, were
saved.
Salvage work on both ships began
with the arrival of tugs which, after
overcoming many difficulties, managed
to tow them close in shore. There it
was necessary to sink them by gun
fire. They are now being brought to
the surface--a long, arduous task.
The tanker, fine vessel some 500
feet long and new-built, had on board
10000 tons of oil, and, though she
blazed for four days, half of the cargo
was salved. When thoroughly repair
led, the tanker will be returned to the
United States, not much worse for
wear, the damage being estimated at
$3.50, 000--a small amount in marine
figuring in these days when persons
think in millions.

Mr.. Simonson took ii up with fed

farmers or elevator men were per-

fixes the price of wheat at 50 and to
the local market price on this basis
the farmer may add Is per cent at
his home market. If the wheat is

take a reasonable net profit, not to

Pierre, March ITO utilize jitney
trucks for bringing coal down the

trucks will help get barges up stream
but the current will bring them down
his plan being to construct several
coal barges at up-river points where
the coal can be cheaply secured, and
float the supply down the Missouri.
The power TO drive the barges back
up the river will be supplied from
the trucks which he has been using
for freighting purposes, and has used
for hauling ice at this city all
through the ice season of the winter.
There is a plentiful supply of Ignite
coal farther up the river, and il it
could be laid down at river points
with a freight rate which would make
the price reasonable a large amount
of it would be used. But up to the
present the freight rate mas Deen so
high that there could be no practical
market for the Ignite coal.

DESPERATE STACKER
WASHINGTON SPRINGS YOUTH
ADOPTS DRASTIC METHOD
TO AVOID SERVICE.

Sioux Falls, March 2.-Secreted in
a letter addressed to a Milwaukee
concern that buys false teeth, was
found the gold crowns of the molars
of Harry Ketzman, conscientious OBJ
j~ectors," of Washington Springs, now
serving months in the county
Jail here for failing to register last
June. Rather than face the physical
examination to which he was ordered,
Zetzman deliberately pried the gold
out of his mouth, leaving his teeth in
such shape that he believed he would
be rejected.
Zetzman was arrested at Messing
ton Springs last fall and on Deem
Der Z was sentenced to serve his time
in the county Jail here. He belongs
to appear before the local examiners
February 20 for physical examina-
ton. The local board, however. was
not appraised of his address.
Zetzman seemed much perturbed
by receipt of the notice, but said
nothing. Jailer Mcqueen keeps a
close watch on the mail that leaves
prisoners and when he found a sus-
picious envelope from Zetzman to
the Milwaukee house, he opened it.
Out fell the gold crowns and a letter
asking that they send what the gold
was worth to him. The letter and its
contents were promptly turned over
to United States Marshal IT. w. Taub-
man and Zetzman may find himself
in further straits when his present
sentence is over.

UNCLEAN COAL
FUEL ADMINISTRATION TAKES
ACTION UPON COMPLAINT
OF DOMESTIC USERS.

Aberdeen, March 2.-The federal
fuel administration is taking steps to
improve the quality of coal shipped
from the anthracite fields in the east.
w. G. Bickelhaupt, fuel admins
traitor for South Dakota, received the
following statement from Washing
ton today:
Amid whatever clamor there has
been on the part of the domestic con-
sumner of coal regarding inequality Ok
prices, difficulties in delivery and so
on, there has been no more stridens
note than that which complained of
the great quantity Of unclean coal
that found it's way into the house
holders bins. To be required to pay
high prices for material which con-
tanned an undue proportion of stone,
slate and dirt was an injustice that
vas severely felt and loudly resented.
State fuel administrators in the
anthracite region, working under the
direction and suggestions of the Unit
ed States fuel administration have
already begun constructive work
