TEACHERS MEET FRIDAY

On Friday, May 9Th, the Annual
Meeting of the officers and teach
ers for Haakon county was held

ever gathered at previous meet
ing.
The morning program began
promptly at 1920 and seventy-fiva
officers and sixty-four teachers
were present besides many pupils
patrons and friends.
Community singing led by Miss
Bake put all in good humor and
ready for business. The first part

FREIGHT REDUCTIONS
FARM BUREAU THINKS

Present conditions in the trans
portation industry in the United
States lead to belief carriers net
returns will continue to improve
and possibilities Of reductions in
freight rates are good. believe Of
ticlaIs Of the South Dakota Farm
Bureau federation The state
ment is based on a study Of trans
portation conditions just concluded
by experts Of the American Farm
Bureau federation.
The number Of carloads Of reve-
nue. freight loaded during Febru-
airy and March has shown a prom
ising ratio Of increase, the study
shows. For the week ended March
Is there were S23,369 ears loaded,
gain of 1871, 1913 cars over the
number loaded in the correspond
ing period last year or about 10
per cent. The figure is only 81 ,69i
ears under the amount loaded in
1920.
Specifically, the week ended on
March Is shows an increase over
last year in loading Of grain and
grain products of about 1000 cars.
$1,000 cars in loading of coal, 200
cars in loading Of coke. 5000 ears
forest products, $4,000 cars Nor
chandise and less than carlot, and
10000 miscellaneous. Live stock
loading is practically the same OF
the total increase Of 1913 cars,
more than $4,000 is composed of
high grade traffic.
Servicable surplus cars for the
week ending March % totaled
2l9.4S3, of which s7,453 were box
ears and S5,764 coal cars. On Dec
cmber 81 there was a surplus Of
371.22l servicable ears. This has
been reduced by l51.73S A year
ago the ear surplus was about
100000 cars.
These figures indicate how far
carriers have gone on the road
back to normal conditions, farm
bureau officials say While there
is no car shortage yet and while
total loading does not yet equal
1920 figures. there has been a
steady and consistent gain over
the figures Of 1921 with every in
dication the gain will be contin-
ued.
SO long as present traffic indica-
tions are actually realized, pros
poets for carriers net returns will
continue to improve and possible
ties for continued and continuing
reduction in freight rates will be
good.

PHILIP TAKES FIRST
GAME OF THE SEASON
King and Vanderbilt Stage Pitchers
Battle For Six Innings
Score To |

Only a small crowd turned out
last Sunday to witness the first
ball game of the season. This was
no doubt due to the disagreeable
weather, hard wind blowing
from the south, which also made
it hard for the players.
As this was the first game for
the locals, and the Belivdere team
had won two victories so far, one
Of them being against the fast
Weta bunch last Sunday, there
were many who expressed doubt
as to the ability of the home boys
to hold their own. Early in the
game, however, it was evident that
it would at least be a very close
contest.
Vanderbilt and Thomas did the
battery work for Belvidere, and
aside from one bad inning when
the locals connected up for five
hits and as many scores. Cy did ex-
cellent work, allowing only eight
hits in the nine innings, and strik-
ing out seven. King was on the
mound for Philip and Dorothy at
the receiving end King struck out
ten Of the Belvidere batters and
allowed seven hits. This was his
first work for the locals and it
was most satisfactory in every
particular. especially the manner
in which he pitched himself out
Of the tight places.
The first six innings was a
pitchers battle with honors about
even. In the last half Of the third
Clouse went to first after being
hit by a pitched ball, succeeded in
reaching third and scored on an
error by Thomas, after he was
caught mapping at third. K. Roose
secured the first hit Of the game
in the third and Grimsey single 1
in the fourth, but neither was able
to advance. King made the first
hit for Philip in the fourth, adj
vancing Dorothy who was on thru
an error. but Vanderbilt frightened
up and the side was retired.
The score stood one to nothing
until the first of the seventh, when
with two men down, three hits
and one error Melted the visitors
one score, r. Roose making the
last out at the plate in an attempt
to reach home.
In her half Philip made five
hits and five runs, Harry Burns.
Dorothy, Hennings and Charles
Hoover securing the hits, the lat
ter connecting for three Dagger.
Harry Burns and Dorothy each
singled in the eighth but no scores
were made In the first of the
ninth after two men were down,
Harry Roose made three base hit
but the next batter was out on
three strikes.

Lamb gave a most interesting talk
on the Story Hour in school after
which the officers adjourned TO
another room for a general bust
ness session provided over by State
Superintendent Shaw.
At this meeting the teachers
salary was discussed from all an
giles and it was most noticeable that
with few exceptions all officers
felt the teachers were not over
paid and agreed that the children
could not be sacrificed for cheap
err teachers. After discussing a
wage schedule it was decided by
vote that all districts should pay
their teachers as they thought
best.
F The teachers salary settled, Mr..
Shaw answered all questions under
dispute in school districts Many
and interesting questions were ask
ed and answered, and at the close
of this session all adjourned and
from appearances every one was
satisfied with the results of the
meeting.
The Spelling Contest Section was
busy place, the room being pack
ed with patrons. teachers and
friends. Mrs. O'Neal conducted the
18th and Sth grade contest in which
thirteen contestants were entered.
Twenty contestants were entered
in 5th and 9Th grade contest which
was conducted by Mrs. Culp. A
complete list of the pupils entered
and the winners will be found on
another page.
Taken altogether this was the
most successful meeting of the
kind held in Haakon county.

IMPERIAL ENCOUNTERS
EXCESSIVE WATER FLOW
COMES THROUGH DRILL HOLE
WITH TERRIFIC FORCE
BROWN MANGANESE.

The Imperial Mining company has
had a remarkable experience with wa
ter during the past few weeks and the
sequel will not be known until the
water subsidies to an extent that will
permit further investigation. a cross
cut was being driven southwesterly
from the drift and after $50 feet had
been accomplished the drill penetrated
n fissure from which spurted water
through the drill hole under such pres
sure that it knocked the miner down
and shot back IS feet in the crosscut.
But even more remarkable was the
brown color of the water w..ich was
soon explained by a deposit OF brown
manganese on the floor of the cross
cut Within two hours the mangan-
csc was deposited more than a foot
deep and it is piled up so now that it
is practically impossible to reach the
face Of the tunnel This happened
some two weeks ago and the water is
still running although the pressure
has decreased probably IS per cent.
May Be the Vein.
1t is believed by the management
that the drift that has been run about
GOO feet from the top of the 100 foot
raise, although showing more or less
galena and crystallzed lead continu-
ously, is in fact underneath the vein
on it's dip to the southwest and this
.crosscut was being run i'm that direc-
ton with the expectation of finding
the true vein. According to the en-
gineer's calculation the vein should be
reached at a point about where this
remarkable flow of water was encoun-
tered and it is regarded probable that
the fissure containing the water is the
vein. The depth from the surface is
Approximately 1000 feet About 700
feet above is tunnel in which a very
good showing of ore has been exposed.
the best showing being in Wine sunk

MILL FOR CEDAR CEDAR
HAS MUCHORE IN SIGHT
ELECTRIC POWER INSTALLED
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT
WORK is TAKEN UP.

The Cedar Greek Mining & Devel-
opment company is making steady
progress toward placing the mine on
productive basis the coming year
and from present indications this will
be accomplished before the end of the
summer. Late in the fall arrange
ments were made with the Washington
Water Power company for electric
power, the company having heretofore
used its own water power to drive the
compressor. which had proved INSULT
cient during the dry season as we'll as
being subject to freezing in extremely
cold weather. The electric line was
extended to the mine several weeks
ago, but connection was delayed on
account of failure of the motor to ar
rive This was received last week and
Immediately placed in position. Yes
terday the power company made the
connection and the compressor is now
being driven by electric energy; also
all buildings and the long crosscut are
lighted by electricity. Work will now
be taken up underground and by next
spring the company plans to proceed
with the construction of mill
Much Ore Available.
Ore of milling grade has been expos
ed in three tunnels and in extent that
insures tonnage to justify a mill. How
ever, the company expects to make a
substantial addition to the available
ore during the next few months which
will enable the management to plan
the mill to meet the requirements. A
large ore shoot, lead silver with more
or less zinc. has been developed on
No. tunnel level and a raise in ore
connects this level with No. 2. some
$50 feet above. With ample power as
sured, work underground will now be
taken up. The east drift on No 3,
where there is a full face of ore, will
be extended 100 feet or more follow
ing which it is proposed to sink on the
ore at a point about 200 feet back
from the present face The shaft will
he sunk probably 200 feet, with every
indication that the ore will be found
of equal or better grade. With these
plans carried out. Cedar Greek will be
in position to supply tonnage for the
mill and give the North Side its first
steady lead silver and zinc producing
mine.
