Country Roads
Being Cleared

Pierre, Feb. 9.--County roads are
just becoming passable for motor
cars in this section of the country
though a driver never starts out with
out being armed with a shovel with
which to dig his car out of snow
drift should he become stuck. SO far
there have been no trips of any dis
tance into the country in which the
shovel has not had to be used.
A long, deep cut where the Black
and Yellow trail crosses Snake butte,
four miles north of here, is drifted
completely full of snow and traffic
has to take to the neighboring fields
and drive over the butte off the
highway. The county expects to put
teams and wagons on this job and
haul out the snow but it is estimated
that the Job cannot be completed
before next Saturday.

BURKE TOHELP
SIOUX INDIANS
WILL ASSIST IN SECURING COUN-
Sell FOR THEM TO PUSH
THEIR CLAIMS

Pierre, Feb. 9.-Indian Commits
sioner Chas. HI. Burke, has taken UP
the cause of the Sioux Indians in
their proposed suit to recover from
the federal government for what
they claim to be due on account OF
the settlement of the Black Hills.
Up to date the Indians have not
been able, for some reason, to get
counsel to represent them before the
court of claims at Washington.
They have attempted to make con.
tracts, but have apparently not got
very far in that line.
Commissioner Burke now notifies
them that he will secure counsel fol
them, and suggests that they secure
the services of local attorneys who
know local conditions to assist in the
features of the claim which require
local knowledge.
BY this move there is a certainty
that there will be proper representa-
tion of the claims of the Indians, anG
that their case will get to a poin
where they will at least find ou
whether they can collect.

SHERATON.

Chicao, Feb. 9.-Hearings on ap-
plication for increases or decreases
in wages for all classes of railway
employees except those in train and
engine and yard service will be

The hearings will be held sinyul-
taneously, the board announced, for

tions are about to file applications,
the board said, in a resolution pass
ed today fixing the date for the hear
ing.
The resolution calls attention to
the fact that train and engine and
yard service employees are negotiat-
ing direct with the carriers and con-
sideration of applications for these
classes of employees was postponed
for this reason. 1t was also pointed
out that rules and working condi-
tions for these classes of employees
must be finally decided, before wage
questions were considered, according
TO the boards promise at the time
of the threatened railroad strike last
October
The board will be able to cover
all questions of rules and working
conditions for the classes of employ
es affected by the hearings before
the date fixed for opening of the
cases, it was stated.

eral decisions during the past three
months affecting the various classes
of workers, and except for the train
and engine and yard service men

.RA|SERS SUGAR
BEETsREJO|CE
BIG SUGAR REFINING COMPANY
EXPECTED TO ENTER BELLE
FOURCHE DISTRICT

Belle Fourche, Feb. 9.-Through
atcion taken last year by a large
sugar beet refining company which
annually had purchased thousands of
tons of beets from growers under
the Belle Fourche irragation project
1t was feared that the company
would abandon the Belle Fourche
field.
However, as the result of recent
correspondence between the CONNER
cial club of Belle Fourche and Off
cials of the company 1t now is. prac-
tically assured that the company will
again enter the Belle Fourche dis
trict this year and furnish a market
for beets grown in the district dur
ing the season of 1922.
Preliminary to the ranchers living
on the irrigated lands raising large
acreages of the sugar beets this sea-
son ii will be necessary to secure
lower freight rates on the beets ship
ped from the district, so the sugar
refining company, whose large plant
AZ oIeuotCu HI 1NSpIdShd, can snip the
beets to the plant and leave the
company profit after refining them
and manufacturing them into SUI
gar.
AS the result of conferences with
representatives of the Chicago &
Northwestern railway company,
whose lines penetrate the Belle
Fourche district, it was learned that
the railroad company Is ready to
grant the necessary reduced rate.
For number of years up to and
including last year the raising of SUI
gar beets had been one of the big
industries of the ranchers on the ir-
rigated lands of the Belle Fourche
government irrigation project. With
the present adjustment of freight
rates and other matters 1t is expect
ed the ranchers will again this year
be offered sugar beet raising con-
tracts by the Nebraska company, SO
the acreage devoted to this crop can
be as large as during former years.
No price has yet been fixed for the
1922 crop of sugar beets. but is ex-
pected to be announced in the near
future.

Smith, whose Indian name means
Wrinkled Meat" had been very ac-
tive in late years. year ago he be-
came totally blind, but his mind re-
mained clear and he often recalled
the days when he was scout for the
Chippewas in the wars with the
Sioux. He also remembered events
of the war of 1912. One of his
boasts was that he had never fought
against the white man.
Up to four years ago he had new

was to the twin cities.
A year and half ago, he return

TRACING The
TAYLOR MURDER
WEIRD PHI LOSOPHIES COME IN.
TO INVESTIGATION OF LIFE
IN MOVIE LAND

Los Angeles, Feb. 9.-The hand
of Oriental mysticism, weird philoso-
phies of far east and strange teach
ings in the realms of psysic and the
supernatural, came into the investi-
cation of the William Desmond Tay-
lor murder today. District Attorney
Wootwine let it be known that this
new investigation will cover an al
legged love cult which seemed to steep
itself in the mysticism of the Orient.
Its teaching led it's members to the
verge of fanaticism, investigators
said. They investigated the theory
that possibly a woman shot Taylor
in the back while she was embracing
him. Another theory that was being
probed today was that powerful
parsonage in the movies killed Tay-
lor or hired an assissin because of
Taylor's attraction for a beautiful
movie star. Letters which Miss Ma
bel Normand wrote to Taylor were
found by detectives today in the toe
of Taylor's riding boots. They were
not made public

DRY WAVE COST
HOTEL BUSINESS
REVENUE CUT ONE-THIRD AS A
AMENDMENT.

New York, Feb. 9.-That the cost
of general business operations has
been markedly increased by prohibi-
tion, was asserted here by Edward
F. Tierney, of Binghamton and New
York city, president of the Ameri-
can Hotel association of the Unitde
States and Canada. He declared the
hotel business and its kindred in
terests, the most affected, had suf-
fered a decrease of one-third in rev.
enues and profits as the result of
the operation of the 18th amend
ment.
Undoubtedly prohibition and
all it's concomitant evils have great
ly increased business costs general
ly' said Tierney. When the advo-
Gates of prohibition were moving
heaven and earth to put over the
18th amendment they were told IN
no uncertain language that if hotels
were denied the right to supply win
es and liquors to guests at their
meals and in their rooms (Which are
recognized by law as their tempor-
ary or permanent homes), the rev.
enues, the profits of hotels would
be reduced about one-third. This
prophecy has been fulfilled, indis-
putably. Hotel men warned the
travelling public that rates would
necessarily be raised to meet the de-
ficit.
''In addition to the loss of in
comes on wines and liquors, we are
confronted with the alarming fact
that our restaurant business, form
erly conducted at little or no loss
has fallen off to an extent which nc
one anticipated and has created an
additional deficit, with no hope OF
improvement.
Prohibition has imposed on thu
whole people a deplorable state OF
social and business affairs that car
never be altered until prohibition Il
abated."

POPE EXPLAINS
TO O'CONVELl
PONTIFF DISTRESSED THAT
AMERICA WAS NOT REPRE-
SENTED AT CONCLAVE.

Rome, Feb. 9.-Pope Plus XI to-
day let it be known that he was pro-
foundly distressed and disappointed
that America was not represented at
the conclave which elected him Mon
day. Putting his arms around Car
dinal O'Connell of Boston, the new
pontiff said:
1T was great personal sorrow
that you were not present"
The pope was at pains to explain
to the American cardinal that the
question of prolonging the conclave
had been discussed seriously by the
cardinals, but that the constitutions
were so rigid that they were unable
to see their way out.
Every member of the conclave, >
he said, wanted the final ballot de-
layed so that you could participate
But that would have contravened
the terms of the constitutions
therefore it was voted to go ahead
Cardinal O'Connell told the cor.
respondent of The Associated Press
that the pontiff spoke IN most af
fectionate terms of America and
manifested the deepest interest in
the Washington conference.
1.-THE action of your government
in averting war in the Pacific" sait

sis worthy the praise of the whoi'
