A REPUBLICAN RECORD.

The lowest general mortality rate on record is re-
ported for the Philippine Islands for the year 1920.
That is n reflection of great credit on the health serv-
ice established by Americans. Wonder what the
death rate would be if the Quezonists and independ-
encias secured control of the government Added to
relaxation of the vigilance of the health department
there would be a few revolutions, possibly a number
of assassinations, and a fight with the Moros who have
always been bad medicine for a Tagalog to tackle. The
majority of the Filipinos know this and are content
with American supervision of the affairs of the
islands.

CUMMING The GAME.

The Democrats of the senate showed a marked lack
of good faith when they refused to take up and dis
pose of the celebrated Newbcrry election case. The
tions are anxious that the senate should vote, and de-
eide once and for all whether Mr.. Newberry is en-
titled to his seat, but the Democrats insist on jockey-
ing about, seeking an opportunity by p~arliamentar,
tactics of winning an advantage that they cannot gain
by their votes. The prosecution of Senator New
berry from the very beginning has been a proceeding
of which the Democrats can be anything but proud.

CHIEF SAYS RAIN
CANNOT Be MADE

Upon application OF the Examiner.
Congressman Carl w. Riddick referred
to G. F. Marvin. chief Of the weather
bureau service at Washington, the
project to produce rainfall through
artificial methods.
In his reply to Mr.. Isiddics, Mr..
Marvin states that similar views have
been entertained in all countries by
many individuals but he does not be-
Neve there is a 1neteorologis anywhere
who seriously believes in the poss bill
ity Of the artificial production Of rain
fall, especially in droughty times and
localities.
"The literature en- this subject is
full Of convincing demonstrations of
the imposstbility of the proposition" :"
writes Mr.. Marvin. Furthermore in
1891 congress actually appropriated
thousands CT dollars to carry on ex-
periments in the artificial production
Of rainfall in Texas. The result there
and then was a complete failure. In
conclusion Mr.. Marvin says he cannot
recommend government funds be de-
voted to this "illusory" proposal.
In a previous opinion, Mr.. Marvin
discredits individual exploitation for
can't make rain.
The Examiner is not yet satisfied
and has letter now on it's way to
congressman Riddick reading as fol
lows:
'Mr. Marvin recites that in 1891
congress appropriated thousands of
dollars for experimental work in Texas
for the artificial production Of rain

Nine Months Term
Is Assured Locally

Miss Bernice Peasley, who started
the term in the Broadus school as
teacher, Of the intermediate grades. en-
Saturday morning rendered her resig-
nation and left TO Dillon where she
will pursue her studies in the State
Normal college.
The decision Of Miss Peasley was
perhaps precipitated by a conference
of the district. the school teachers and
representatives of beth local banks.
The financial condition of the district
was explained to all and it was made
known that with four teachers on the
payroll the finances would only permit
a term of seven months or nine months
with three teachers. All the teachers
agreed to accept three -ffths of their
salary each month until the end of
the term when they would receive tho
balance in lump sum.
On Saturday morning Miss Peasley
is said to have told the trustees she
would not stand in the way of q nine
term of school here and that
she declined to take the Sand Creek
school. thereby throwing the present
incumbent out Of employment. The
primary and intermediate grades have
now been merged into one room as
last year and the upper grades remain
as planned this year. nder the pres
ent arrangement the teaching staff re-
mains the same as last year, two
teachers for the grades in Brcadus,
one teacher at the Sand Creek school
and two teachers in the high school.

DR0kbUS COAL IS
HAULED TO AlzADA

The superiority Of Broadun coal was
recognized the past week by team
sters hauling it to the Alxada coun-
try, seventy-five miles away. The coal
Is mined by Joe Marengo at the Sand
Creek bank, 30 feet in thickness. The
three Johnston brothers. James, John
II. and George, and John Walker, re.
siding few miles from Azada, drove
one twc-horse team. two four-horse
teams and one six-horse team here for
coal, arriving here Saturday, the third
day on the road, and after loading up
at the mine. figured they would make
their return home by Tuesday noon.
Their only cash Investment was 81 a
ton at the mine, whereas they had paid
SIG fer the same grade of coal at
Belle Fourche and $40 for inferior
quality. The Belle oFurche coal laid
down at Alzada, 40 miles inland, cost
an additional SO cents a hundred, so
that the coal price at 1Alzada is around
$40 ton. The Alzsda men were con-
WINGED they made good wages for pur-
chasing their coal here and hauling it
the many miles to their homes.
a truck driver plying between AL
zada and Belle Fourche, Rozelle by
name, was the one to make the initial
trip here for coal and he acquainted
others of the fine grade to be pro-
cured. hauled all lead of coal back
with him.
Howard Vannett. residing on Pilgrim
creek. subsequently secured contract
for supplying five tons OF Broadus
ccal to school near .Alzada at SEQ q
ton.
A few days ago. Mr.. Genre and his
son were here from Box Elder to load
up with coal. They were driving two
four-horse teams. When on the return
trip sabout four miles cut of Broadus
they were compelled to unload some
of their coal cargo and with it they
left a note with the information that
anyone could have the sccal, providing
they would tell that fellow at the mine
that they had more than their moneys
worth.
Not only the Sand Creek coal mine,
but the Coyote as well as established
and new mines in the community
opened up this year fer the first time
are all doing a rushing business now
adays, supplying both the local and
outside demand for the winters sup

County Seat Now
Electric Lighted

Eroadus made substantial forward
step Tuesday of this week when Its
electric light plant. owned and oper-
ated by Milton Turley. was placed in
operation. Several business houses
and residences are taking the electric
light service at the start and others
will follow suit as soon as the wiring
is completed and in other instances
where rheostats are installed to con-
meet up with the individual lighting
plants heretofore operated.
Broadus is perhaps the smallest
town in the state to boast an electric
lighting plant for general service but
it is convincing argument in the be-
lief Of everyone that the town and
country will continue to grow and
that this Improvement is only an item
in the development work ahead

4 Little Missouri
Rancher Disappears

Henry SchUmacner, rancher lOcat-
ed in the Little Missouri country
abount 4 quarter of Il mile fran the
A. l.. Gray ranch. disappeared on Fri
day. Sept .at", ., ana all efforts 10
find him have been unsuccessful, says
the Colony Weekly News.
About two weeks ago representa-
tive of the Butte County Bank of
Belle Fourche went out to the Schu-
macher ranch to c>eck up on cattle
on which the bank held a mortgage
On the date above mentioned, Schu-
macher set out on horseback for the
purpose, apparently, OF gathering up
the cattle so that an accurate tally
could be made. He was seen the same
morning by Roberts sheepherder and
about noon he called at Dennis Stacks
and inquired the way to the Owl
Creek breaks That is the last that
was seen or heard of him. On Men
day of last week his horse was found
by a neighbor 1t was saddle, but
the bride was missing.
Search parties have secured the
country in every direction, but have
been unable to find any trace of the
missing man.
Schumacher is married and has two
young children. 4 brother. who Sc
home is in Pierre, s. D.. arrived a few
days ago and is assisting in the search
Several theories are advanced as to
the cause of Schumacher's disappear
ance. Some are of the opinion that
he left the country, others think that
he may have been thrown frcm his
horse and kill ed, while still others say
he may have committed suicide on ac.
count of financial troubles.
