Earl Davis Recovering
Nicely From Injuries
Received In Accident

Earl B. Davis came up Sunday
morning from his highway camp
in Washington County and has
been spending a few days with
his family here. Mr.. Davis re-
ports his work on the bridges on
the state highway through the
southern portion of the state as
progressing nicely, and ere long
be will be able to start on his
grading contract. Mr.. Davis is
getting along nicely from the in
iuries he received in an accident
some three weeks ago. While un-
loading car of metal culverts,
Mr.. Davis was working on the
car, starting the culverts off and
in some manner one of the big
metal culverts slipped, the pole
he was using in prying them loose
struck him under the chin and
iabbed deep hole into the flesh.
The force of the blow was so sew
ere that it knocked him clear off
the car and he alighted on his
head, resulting in a long cut of
scalp. Where he struck the hard
packed cinders was but few in
ches from the heavy steel rails
and had he hit the rail his skull
would have been crushed. The
station agent at Smithwlck wit
ressed the accident and his cal
for help soon brought assistance
and the injured man was taken t.
the hospital at Hot Springs, re
manning in an unconscious condit
ION until after his arrival at that
place. His wounds and injuries
were dressed at the hospital ,anC
though bothered quite good dea
as yet, Mr.. Davis is getting along
.aiccly and is mighty thankful
that the accident did not have ;
more serious result.

Ladies GreeterS
Organized By
Mrs. Fisher

While in Kadoka last Saturday
Mrs. W. ID. Fisher of Sheridan,
Wyoming, competed the Organiz-
alton of ladies society which is
known rs the Ladies Grceters,
and named Mrs. Earl Il. Davis as
secretary of the organization at
Kadoka. 1t will be the aim of this

ment accorded the visitor,
Mrs. Fisher is organizing these
societies amongst the ladies in all
towns along the Custer Battlefield
Highway and informs the Press
that she is meeting with great en-
couragement all along the line,

In explaining the workings of
these organizations Mrs. Fisher
stated that their efforts would be
devoted to assistig and helping
the business and commercial org
anizations of the towns iE matters
pertaining to the Highway, and
that it was expected chat great
good would be accomplished by
the ladies.
The Custer Battlefield Highway
is now recognized as the best
marked highway to the National
Parks, and the travel over this
scenic route is growing more and
more each year. This years Blue
Book---or autoists guide has
omitted all other highway. in
South Dakota except the Custer
Battlefield and Black and Yellow.
With the growing in popularity cf
this great route. the management
of the Highway association is
making every effort to secure the
greatest of accomodations for the
tourists that travel over it, and
the organizing Of Ladies Greeters
is another step in giving the best
of service and attention to those
travelig this route.
Mrs. Davis, who has &c N named
as Secretary Of the local organic

Celebration At
BelViQere Has
Big Crowd

The big bridge celebration, held
at the bridge across White river,
four miles south Of Belyidere, on
Wednesday was attended by one
of the largest crowds that has
ever gathered together at any
celebration in this entire west
river country, and it has been
conservatiyely estimated that over
two thousand people were present
at the celebration.
The celebration was tagged un-
der the direction of the business
men of Belvidere and they spared
no pains whatever in making it a
day of pleasure and enjoy ment foi
everyone, and that they succeeded
was amply demonstrated by the
good time that everyone was hav-
ing. The day was an ideal one,
and at an early hour of the morn
ing the crowd began to gather
and hosts Of people enjoyed a
picnic dinner in the shade of the
big trees on the river. kadOka
was out enmasse, and everyone
from this community sperI the day
with our neighbors on the east.
All during the forenoon the autos
from this locality made a solid
line along the highway 20 Belvid-
ere, and there is not a one who at
tended from this community, bnt
who felt that they were well re-
paid for making the trip.
Featuring the days progra'n
was the address by Got.rnor W.
H. McMaster, and the talk made
by him was certainly appreciated
by all. The Governor is an clouu-
ent speaker and held his audience
throughout his entire talk. Hon
C. N. Leedom of this place, mem
ber OF the State Highway Commi'
ssion, also made an address that
was appreciated by the audience
The balance of the day was glver
over to the sports program, ant
about all the various sports kno
wn were indulged in. A fast bal
game was played between MIDLAND
and Belvidere, the former team
winning the exciting contest by
score of A to 3. Tbs was FOLLOWED
by a game between Midland an'
White River, but in the third IN
ming the latter team quit tn
game, but Midland up to tina
stage had by far the better of tn
argument. In the evening the bl!
bowery dance was patromzed by
huge throng until the early hour
of the morning. The Belvdier
band was on hand throughout tn
entire day and their playing Wa
appreciated by the big crowd.
The big bridge which was ded'
acted by the celebration on las
Wednesday is an imposing struct
rrc and was constructei 4 entirel

Drilling Resumed On
SConiC Oil Well

Considerable interest is manifest
amongst our readers in reference
to the oil situation at Scenic, and
we have on numerous occasions re-
ceived inquiries as to the condi-
tions of the drilling at that place.
The we'll at Scene is in our inn
mediate vicinity, and the follow
ing article taken from the last
issue of the South Dakota Oil
News, gives a complete outline of
the progress of the drilling and
was written by the editor of that
paper following a visit to the site
of the drilling:
After a temporary delay at the
Scenic we'll caused from delay in
getting the necessary repairs, the
drill was started again Monday,
June 26th, and has been steadily
pounding its way down to the
hoped for pay sands at the rate
of about thirty feet per day. Ac-
cording to those in charge of the
drilling, indications are very fav-
orable for a producing well. There
is strong showing of oil in each
bucket that comes up, and gas
is becoming stronger as the drill
descends. According to Geologist
Skoyne who has been on the
ground for the past week, watch
ing developments very closely, the
| drill should encounter the muddy
sands at any time. The promoters
are hopeful that this sand may
bring in a producing well although
they are prepared to go to the
lower sands if necessary. The en-
tire, town and country around
Scenic are very optomistic over
the prospects and it is the general
opinion there that it is only 8
qestion of time when South Dako

our great oil producing states, ant

no conQuests. Content with what we have, we
seek nothing which is another's. We only wish to

nation can do alone.

II do not mean surrendered rights or mar

national necessities. Our Republic would no more
ask for these than II would give No pride need
be humbled, no nationality submerged, but
would have a mergence OF minds committing all
OF us to less preparation for war and more enjoy.
ment Of fortunate peace.
II can speak officially only for our United
States. Our hundred millions frankly want less
OF armament and none OF war; Wholly free from
guile. sure In our own minds that we harbor no
unworthy designs, we accredlt the world with the
same good Intent. So welcome you, not alone
