Minnehaha Teachers Receive No
Better Pay Than Our Own

1t seems that teachers of Mime
haha county do not receive much
if any better pay than those of
our own county. Last week the
school boards of that county held
a meeting at the court house in
Sioux Fails for the purpose of ag-
reeing upon regular schedule of
salaries to be uniform throughout
the country schools.
1t was voted to recommend that
first grade teachers be paid sal
ary of S1O0 per month. The teach
ers with more than six years ex-
perience the salary for the coming
year was left optional with the
school. For second grade teachers
SS5 per month is recommended and
$40 for instructors holding third
grade certificates.

FISHING POOR SO
FAR THIS SEASON

Never has the early fishing been
so poor in Rapid Creek as this sea-

weather, others to the fact that
many fish were killed by the high
water that prevailed trough much

one excellent catch last week:
What is claimed by old Black
Hills fishermen to be the best
catch of trout ever shown in this

School of Mines. The catch num-
bered. eleven Lock Laren trout,

EXPECT OIL DEVELOPMENTS
SOON

Several oil men Of prominence
have visited Haakon county dur
ing the past week, and ALTHOUGH
we are not allowed yet to give de-
tails of arrangements made, We
hope very soon to be able to make
announcement of Importance e.
this county and locality.
In other neighboring sections
developments are also promised.
The company which is operating
in Stanley county has the drilling
machinery on the ground, and re-
ceived it's first carload of casing
the past week. This is principally
IL inch size and this, it is expect
ed will be used for the first 1000
feet or more.
They hope to continue shipments
at the rate of a carload a month
until the desired amount lis re-
ceived.
While it is estimated that the
oil flow should be found between
5000 feet and $500 feet, the com
pany, which is strictly a local one
is prepared to go down $500 feet
If necessary for a thorough test.
Their drilling rig is on the
ground, and with the first ship
ment of casing they expect to get
the drill to working within the
next two weeks, and will have ac-
tual drilling operations under way
before June 1st, and expect to get
a thorough test before winter.

NEWS FROM OVER THE LOCAL
OIL FIELDS

Both Interior and Stamford arc
the centers of oil excitements in
Jackson county. Surface indicat-
ions point strongly to the pre-
sence of oil in both locations, and
local men in both towns are plan
ming drilling operations this sum-
mer.
A rig is being set up this week
between Belle Fourche and Spear
fish and will spud in there immed-
lately.
Scenic is the town on the Mil
waukee that promises more than
any other locality along that line
to have a well soon. Several out
siders, representing important in
terests have been in that region
with their geologists lately, and
the reports are said to be very
favorable,
All Western South Dakota is in
fever of expectation over pro-
missed oil development this season.
This is very naturally warmer a.

unity to the Wyoming and Mon

formed of local men, and it is also
reported that an Indiana company
has been active in securing leases
for the purpose of drilling for oil.

You can tell more about the

thru the back alleys than many
persons imagine. Some of the
back yards are neat as pins. while
others would put an old brush
fence hog lot to shame. We are
glad to say that the latter are few
and far between. Back yards re-
ffect the character of their owners.
Sometimes the front yard will be
bubbling over with flower beds and
posies and the back yard will be
chiefly barrels, brick bats and
scrap iron. You can guess what
kind of people live here. Some
times both front and back yards
correspond and are wrecks alike.
You can easily place the owner.
Sometimes both front and back
yards show the utmost care and
attention and it is hard to tell
which is the cleaner. You have
no trouble in classifying the peo-
pie who live here. 1t either the

YOUR NAME MAY
BE WRITTEN THERE

Within the next few weeks
there will be posted in the lobby
of the Philip postoffice, according
to reports, a Stacker list show
ing the names of Haakon county
draft eYaders during the Gresi
War.
The war department is prepar-
ing and will soon post the socalled
Stacker" list This has been pre-
pared at the instigation of the
various patriotic societies of the
country and is supposed to be
correct compilation of all those
who successfully evaded the draft
during the late war. Over the list
will be the designation: "Deserters
from the military service of the
United States This is done foe
the purpose of furnishing those
who shirkeds thier duty in their
country in time of need by evad-
ing the draft. 1t is expected that
the daily Newspapers will print the
list for their states or communi-
ties, in order to throw the full
light of pitiless publicity upon tie
slackers and forever give notice to
similar persons in the future of
the punishment that's to be metal
out to them.
The Minneapolis Tribune ar
nounces in advance that it will not
print the government list of de-
serters and gives the following co.
gent reasons for the course is ex-
poets to pursue:
The Tribune will not publish
this list. It's reasons for refrain
ing from doing so are not alorc.
that it does not regard the mot
ter as privileged, but chiefly ard
sufficiently because it has reason
to believe and in fact knows, that
the list is not accurate. If it We're
true that this list contained none
but the names of those who had
evaded their obligation to rendeel
military service and none others,
we would be ready to print it as
a legitimate piece of news. as al
part of our obligation to the put-
llc~and as means of aiding IN
bringing "slackers" to justice.
1t is trle, however, and it is great
ly TO be regretted, that this list
is full of inaccuracies.
THE department itself admits
that it has been unable to verify
the charge Of desertion in every
instance, but it seeks to Justify
its publication of an inaccurate
list on the ground that it will in
duce those wrongly accused to
clear up their clouded military re-
cords and imposes upon individ-
uals this obligation.
The view of the Tribune is ap.
to prove correct. If the govern
ment is not more accurate in its
Stacker list than it is in many of |
its war activities, the names Of |
soldiers who served honorabIy dur
ing the war are apt to be written
there. But it will be interesting
to see what comes Of the plan
just the same.

1t seems peculiar that the two fnest-acted plays seen in Brid pounded of the scantiest material Not even the genius of David Belasco and the best efforts of a splendid company could transform Gall the Doctor into anything but a medi- core and. at times, surprisingly shal- low comedy. Certainly Jean Archl- bald'S lines and situations were noth- ing to rave about
 The audience at the Park theatre last night sat almost silently throughout the presentation, being held in their seats by the remarkably superb quality of the acting. which was all the more remarkable because the players had nothing to act with.
 Call the Doctor started out well with the amusing idea of a, neglected Beatrice Fairfax to Straighten out her domestic difficulties and bring her husband to his knees. Rut this plot was not developed, the author pre- ferring to resort to the familiar ma terial which was started with 'The Mollusc'' and Her Husbands Wife" |" both of which, however. had the ad- vantage of really sparkling lines. And ArchibaId's lines seldom sparkled, even though that fine actress. Janet
 Beecher, did her best as the fXit'' doctor.
 A play with Janet Beecher in the cast is well worth seeing, if for no other reason than the fact that she's in it. Miss Beecher has developed quite a bit since we saw her last in l 'HThe Concert" and her performance 1 last night stamped her as one of the l finest co1nediennes in the country. Given half chance, and Miss | Beecher would have turned in bit 1 of acting whose impression would have remained with Bridgeport for l ever.
 Tn fact the waste of talent was | almost sinful. Charlotte Walker sketched off the nincompoop wife, who was sternly reminded that a wife
 can't hold a husbands love if she doesn't continue to look pretty and ] entertain him. Miss Walkers DOT | trayal of the "dumb-beIl'' spouse was
 an excellent one, particularly in the
 first act It was no fault of hers
 that she was called on to make a fool of herself just before the final curtain

Jane Houston, as the 'vamp" who lures the husband away. deserves far more than honor able mention for her scenes in the second act. She quite controlled the situation for the short while she was on the stage, and her interpretation was one of the features of an evening remarkable for good interpretations. Fania Marinoff lent color and humor to the proceedings, and Red Martin and Barbara Milton were satisfactory in minor roles
