In any battery the positive active

Philco Retainer are so narrow that tho
material cannot readily pass through
them and the result is greatly pro-

quently in consequence of weakened
roadbeds, made so by floods and erO-
sion. A freight wreck was reported
only few days ago and just yester-
day at near o'clock the north bound
passenger train left the track two
miles and a half out of Ramona.
Engineers have been exercising
caution when travelling over treach
erous places, but yesterday even the
greatest of caution did not prevent a
wreck which, luckily, hurt no one
but tore considerable trackage out of
place.
The north train left Madison be-
hind time and was proceeding at a
far lesser speed than usual when the
engine and tender also the mail car,
baggage car and smoker left the rails
to the CONSERVATION of all on board.
Immediately after the accident the
wrecker and a crew of men went to
work on the job of repairing the
track and placing the derailed cars
back on the roadway. They labored
all night and by morning had the job
about completed. A train was made
up in the yards and ii carried wait
ing passengers and mail down to
Sioux Falls.

"RUSTLERS" IN
STOCK RAID
DRIVE FORTY-ONE HEAD STOLEN
CATTLE FROM WYOMING TO
WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Deadwood, July 20.-Cattle rust
ling" which had been dormant dur
ing the past two or three years in
the region where the states of Wyom-
ing and South Dakota join, appears
to have been resumed on as large a
scale as during the days when the
great ranges of that region flour
ished.
The operations also appear to ex-
tend into the southeastern section OF
Montana, adjoining South Dakota.
Jack Hunter, a well known stock
man of eastern Wyoming, and depn-
ty sheriffs from Gillsette, Wyo., and
Alzada, Mont, are in western South
Dakota, searching for a bunch of Al
head of cattle, which mysteriously
disappeared from the Hunter ranch.
The animals are branded FL.
The posse has succeeded in tracing
them to western South Dakota, sew
eral parties along the route having
seen the herd as it was being driven
eastward to South Dakota by the
rustlers.
The trail was lost in Butte county
but members of the posse have hopes
of picking it up again.

FAMOUS MARKER
TO Be SHOWN
STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO
HAVE VERENDIRE PLATE OF
TT. PIERRE AT PAGEANT.

Sioux Falls, July 20.-From time
to time developments in connection
with the pageant which will be staged
in Sioux Falls in September, makes it
evident that the event will be a no.
table one in the history of South Da-
kota. Doane Robinson, state histori-
an, has agreed to bring to Sioux
Falls for this occasion a collection of
articles marking different periods in
the history of the state, which will
be a grand affair of itself. Recently
w. Fl. Lyon of this city wrote to Mr.
Robinson and asked if it would not
be possible to bring TO Sioux Falls
on this occasion the Verendyre plate,
discovered near Fort Pierre several
years ago Mr.. Robinson has agreed
TO bring this historical plate to Sioux
Falls and in this connection has
written Mr.. Lyon as follows:
The Verendrye Plate, which will
be on exhibition in Sioux Falls during
the pageant in September, is the most
historical relic in the northwest, and
is the basis of the claim of France
to the entire region and consequently
of our title which we obtained from
France.
This plate was planted at Fort
Pierre on March 80, 1743, by the
Verendrye brothers, who were ac-
cOmpanied upon this exploration by
two other Frenchmen, A. Miotte and
Louis La Londette.
I'm January, 1908, Bishop Thomas
O'Gorman of Sioux Falls in his ad-
dress before the state historical so
ciety, declared his belief that this
plate would be found within SO miles
of Pierre. This was quite in oppo
sition to the belief of other notable
historians. especially Parkman, who
thought it was as low as the mouth
| of the Niobrara.
"On February II, 1913, a party oil
school children playing upon the
! nearest eminence to the mouth of the
Bad river, found the plate protrudinl
| from the earth, A dispute aroise as
| to the actual finder and after gooC
deal of negotiation the relice finally
came into the possession of the STATE
at a cost of $500, chiefly contributed
| by the members of the historical so
! ciety, but a portion of the prices wa
| paid from the fees earned by the so
ciety."

BEAUTIES Of
BLACK HILLS
BOOKLET SETTING FORTH AD-
NANTAGES TO TOURISTS
Is ISSUED.

Pierre, July 20.-The Black Hills
section of the state is mailing out an
invitation to the people of the coun-
try, and the same also is being sup
piled from the state immigration
commissioners office in Pierre to ali
who care to ask for the same.
The invitation is in the form of a
32-page color booklet containing 100
of the Hills choicest views and de
scribing many of the regions attrac-
tions.
The book is the result ofico-oper-
ative effort between the commercial
clubs of the Hills and the immigra-
ton department, and the invitation
written by the commissioner of i'm
migration is made personal to the
reader, and is:
Highest between the Rockies and
the Himalayas, Black Hills peaks lift
rock crests in intimate greeting to
the sun and stars.
The Sioux, who held them sacred
said Paha (hills) Sapa (black) and
they remain Black Hills-though un-
dervalued by the name. Purple
Mountains is more true, for pines and
blue spruce and gray granite give the
deep purple of ripe plum.
"A yellow magnet drew the ad-
venturous to the Black Hills pros
poets only short time ago. Rich
lodes of gold invited the quest of a
worlds avarice. The Indians bade a
forced and sad farewell to the shad-
owy trails, the tumbling streams.

ler's fly: the runways to cold springs.
where deer yet slake thirst; the SEN
Nnel crags guarding canyon depths
uhlit by sunshine.
To-day the Hills are still more
beautiful, more inviting than resorts
famed in many lands. The white
man recognized the work of the
Great Spirit, who held the Indian
love and has given the touch which
opens it to the traveller.
Long after the railroad brought
comfort, after the gold began to pour
its yellow stream through modern
machinery, came the improved high.

They are the Fairgrounds of tn,
north central states, and the gate il
always open. From north, south
east and west, the railways and high
ways lead to the Black Hills ant
their hospitable people, who rejoic,
to share the rich bounties which ma
ture has given them"
The tourist travel to that favored
section increases every year, and tn
seeker for outing places will fin,
that the Hills have something to of

ask for this book describing wha
they have to offer"

CARS FOR GRAIN
AND LIVESTOCK
BANKERS COMMITTEE HAS FIG
URES ON WHIT III BELIEVES
THEY ARE OBTAINABLE.

Sioux Falls, July 20.-Investiga-
tion by the special railroad commit
tee appointed by the South Dakota
Bankers state convention, consisting
of VIM. Ontjes of Sioux Falls, chair
man; j. C. Bassett of Aberdeen,
George Cobel of Brookings, c. E. Oh
stad of Madison, and Lieut.. Gov. w.
III. McMaster of Yankton, shows they
are now prepared to make what they
believe will be successful fight to
obtain the necessary cars to move
South Dakota's grains to the markets
and relieve the financial stringency.
The committee through blanks
sent to the banks throughout South
Dakota by means of which a definite
check on conditions was obtained,
has learned that there are now ap-
proXimately 500 cars ordered, 1,750,-
600 bushels of grain in the elevators,
1900 cars of grain conservatively
estimated to be the amount to be de-
livered to elevators in the next 80
days, i 900 stock cars ordered and
5000 stock cars needed to move the
livestock to market in the next 80
days.
These reports cover the entire state
and Mr.. Ontjes stated today that the
committee will meet here Thursday
next with various other committees,
some of them appointed at the re-
cent conference at Watertown called
by the state market ommission and
some of the prominent railroad men.
Every effort is to be made to obtain
at once the cars based on the figures
received, to move grains and live
stock to market and make room for
the 1920 crops.
Mr.. Ontjes is hopeful that the rail
roads of the state may be represent
ed by joint committee which would
simplify the work at hand. The
1920 crops in South Dakota will be
fully 25 per cent greater and better
than those of 1919, according to pres
ent statewide information, he said
notwithstanding the water soaked re-
gions.
