AFTER CUT IN
LUMBER RATES
II T. ID / CTION s
SOUGHT BY STATE RAILROAD
COMMISSION.

Pierre, March 9.-The South Da-
kota railroad commission has taken
steps in an attempt to obtain re-
duction on freight rates on lumber
shingles and related articles from
the north Pacific coast districts to
all points in this state. A complaint
has been filed with the interstate
commerce commission asking for
substantial reductions.
Following a general increase in
June 1918, when the roads were un-
der federal control and another in
crease of 1913 per cent allowed by
the interstate commerce commission
in August, 1920, the western lines
made some reductions in 1921 to
the territory east of st. Paul, Sioux
City, Omaha and Kansas City up TO
an including Chicago and st. Louis
but without making any reductions
west of these points in Nebraska,
North and South Dakota and states
west. Early in 1922 reductions were
made to districts east of Chicago.
The commission in the pending
complaint will seek to secure reduc-
tions for all of South Dakota equal
to those granted Omaha, Chicago
and other eastern cities and furhter
reductions which the commission be-
lieyes should be made in order to
give South Dakota cities the adVant-
age of the shorter hauls from the
Pacific coast.
Freight rates constitute am I'M
portant element in the cost or lum-
ber and with present depression In
the agricultural districts little I'M
provement has been done or Will be
done, in the opinion of the commits
sion At the present time proximate-
ly so per cent of all the lumber ship
ped to the state comes from the
northwestern territory.

NEW BRIDGE To
FACE BIG TEST
HUGE ICE CHUNKS WILL CLASH
AGAINST STRUCTURE ON
CHEYENNE RIVER.

Pierre, March 9.-The almost GER
tain high water incident to the
spring breakup of the Cheyenne riv-
er, is being looked forward to with
more than usual interest this year
not only by the people living along
that turbulent stream, but by engi-
neers and members of the state high
way commission who designed and
approved the new steel bridge now
nearing completion near the town of
Carlin.
People familiar with the Cheyenne
have always maintained, that in its
angry moods the river could and
would tear away any crossing men
mightbuild over it. 1t is the one
bad, untamed river in the state, they
assert, and they back up their be-
liefs with many tales of wreck and
ruin 1t has accomplished.
State bridge engineers here, while
they admit the Cheyenne is bad, say
1t is not as bad as its reputation.
Where the bridge is located the
stream is nearly a half mile wide,
necessitating a span of 1859 feet
resting on six concrete piers and the
two abutments. Beneath this all
steel structure, the longest in the
state, will pass sometime during the
next month, millions of tons of ice
in cakes varying in size up to the
area of an ordinary city lot. These
will be dashed along by current
which would do credit to mill race.
Fully appreciating the strain TO
which the concrete piers will be put
and reckoning on the possibility of
ice gorges forming against the struc-
ture, j. E. Kirkham, chief of the
bridge department, deviated from the
usual form of pier in the preparation
of his plans and adopted what he
claims is pier which will greatly
lessen the danger of gorging beside
adding to the strength of the piers.
Instead of the usual wedge-shaped
pier with the point of the wedge fac
ing upstream. those at the Cheyenne
bridge will present a rounded front
to the ice flow. The chief advant-
age of these, Mr.. Kirkham explains,
lies in the fact that a cake of ice,
instead of being cut into and held by
the pointed nose of the pier and
thereby forming the beginning of a
gorge, will be pushed off by the cur
rent or by the force of another cake
striking against the first.
While the designing engineers
here feel sure that the new bridge
will be able to state the strain of its
initial test, they admit it is not in
the condition 1t will be next year be-
cause of the fact that the concrete
is still green" Six months more,
they say, and this concrete will
have thoroughly hardened and will
be impregnable to the assaults If the
river.
Flooring is now being laid on the
bridge and it is expected 1t will be
opened for use about April 1.

BOYS CLUB WORK
At MTG HE'LL
PUPILS ARE PERSUADED TO
CONTINUE UNTIL COURSES
ARE COMPLETED.

Mitchell, March 8. Boys club
work as it is being carried on in
Mitchell was the subject of an ad-
dress delivered by Supt. ]. c. Land
sey of the Mitchell public schools at
a meeting of the bureau of super a.
tendents at Chicago last week So
far ahead of other cities of its size
In the country is Mitchell that Mr.
Lindsey's statements were received
with surprise by the thousands of
delegates at the convention.
One of the most interesting facts
that Mr.. Lindsey brought out is the
remarkable small loss to the schools
of children between the eighth grade
and what is called here the junior
high school. The high school is di-
vided here into the junior and senior
departments. The first two years in
high school are simply continuance
of the grade work and there are no
eighth grade graduation exercises as
there are in other cities. Thus the
interest of the pupil, engaged in the
seventh and eighth grades, it stim-
ulated to continue the work in the
ninth and tenth grades, and then,
rather than stop with only two years
to go, he continues his school work
until he finishes the full four-year
course AS complimentary to the
school work, boys club has been
formed and interesting classes in
work. stenography, wireless and
many other things which tend to
hold the interest of the growing
youth have been inaugurated.

Revive Project
For Big Plant

White River, March 9.-With the
coming of spring the project of har-
Messing the Big White river, which
flows past this city, so the power
can be utilized for electric purposes
for the residents of White River. is
being revived.
The town board has taken steps
to have a preliminary survey made
and plans and specifications prepar-
ed for the proposed hydro-electric
plant, which will be one of the most
unique in southern South Dakota.
1t will be the first plan of the kind
to be installed in the Rosebud coun-
try.
After the preliminary survey is
completed and the cost of the pro-
posed hydro-electric plant is ascer-
tanned, special election will be
called to vote the necessary bonds.

HUNGRY WOLVES
INTO FARMYARD
GECOME FEROCIOUS-
FIVE OF THEM ATTACK
DOG.

washington Springs, March g.
The long continued cold and storm
period has driven wolves from the
wild country to the west virtually TO
the farm yards of farmers living
near here.
Orville Creighton, farmer, had
an unusual experience with five
wolves last week and his dog is still
suffering from the expert n e.
Creig hton had been hauling hay
near Creighton lake and he missed
his dog. After a search he found
the poor creature under a haystack
with two hungry wolves looking
wolves standing guard at either side
of the stack completely cooping up
the dog. When the dog made dash
for freedom he would be rushed up
on and bowled over whereup he
would at once seek shelter from his
enemies again. Creighton attempted
to frighten the wolves off by shield
ing the dog with a pitchfork, but
the wolves kept just beyond range
and managed to take many a nip
from the dog as they dashed past
While this scene was ensuing three
more wolves joined their companions
in the game. With much difficulty
Creighton succeeded in walking to
his hayrack protecting the dog,
which was practically exhausted.
When the team was reached the
wolves dispersed and the man and
dog made hasty trip to their ranch
house.

To Revive
SteambOating

Chamberlain, March "a. l.. Je-
kyll, of Fort Tompson, is arranging
for the purchase of the river boat
South Dakota, owned by people liv-
ing down the Missouri river from
this port.
Mr.. Jekyll intends to put boat in
operation, making regular trips
from Chamberlain to up river points
as far as the big bend, with stops at
Fort Thompson and lower Brule
Indian agencies.
The influx of settlers in the reg
ion of the Big Bend makes possible a
good business for boat running on
regular schedule, hauling produce to
market on down river trips and sup
plies for the settlers when proceed
ing up stream.

Children Narrowly
Escape De a t h

Lennon. March 9.-Two Lennon
children had a very narrow escape
from death as the result of eating
and drinking things of poisonous
substance.
The small daughter of Mr.. ana
Mrs. C. w. Hose secured a box or
aspirin and had eaten several OF the
tablets before it was noticed what
he was doing. Prompt action on the
part of her mother saved the little
ones life.
The little son of Mr.. and Mrs. os-
car N. Sampson narrowly escaped
death when he drank a cup of kero-
sene. A doctor was hastily summon
ed and succeeded in saving his life.

cd of farming Is the most profitable
year by year.
1t is understood that less tractors
and more horses will be used in till
ing the land this season. The ad-
vancing price of grain may change
this plant to some extent, but grain
prices may not be high with another

Mixed farming with dairying,

India, has resigned as result Of
recommendations of the Indian gov
ernment relative to Turkey, it was
announced. Austen Chamberlain,
government leader in the house of
commons, intimated that the resig-
nation was due to the publication of
the Indian governments manifesto
which conflicted with the cabinet
policy. Proposals Of the Indian gov
ernment were for allied evacuation
of Constantinople, suzerainty of the
sultan over the holy places of Islam
and the restoration of Thrace, Ar
dianople and Smyrna to the Otto
man empire. They came as shock
to the government.
