whether or not he would be willing to

Some Real Spuds

George White Wing, one of our
Indian farmers, this week sent to our
Office four potatoes that he raised on
his farm southwest of Wod about five
miles, that tip the scales at five and
cne-half pounds. Mr., White Wing
Sast spring planted eight bushels of
seed and he is now digging his crop,
which he estimates will yield him $50
bushels of as fine potatoes as you
could expect to grow anywhere.
They are large, fine smooth ones, and
free from scab and disease. Potatoes
are velV successfully grown in Mel
lette county, and were we nearer a
railroad so they could be marketed
more easily, there would no doubt be
more attention given to the growing
of potatoes in a commercial way.
There are others in the county who
have conclusively demonstrated that
notatoes can be grown profitably in
this county. We are glad to note that
some of our Indians are giving more
attention to agriculture. We know Of
several who have demonstrated that
they can raise as good corn, and as
GOOD potatoes and cabbages as their
white neighbors.

WOOD MAY SOON HAVE A BANK

Mark Payne and Fritz Sinkler,
cashier and vice president of the old
First State Bank of Wood, got busy
last Friday and Saturday and are pro-
noting a new banking institution for
Wood. They canvassed the territory
tributary to Wood last week and we
understand interested a number Of
people in taking some stock in the new
financial institution, which we are
told, is to be called the "Citizens
State Bank of Wood AS both
these gentlemen are out of town, we
are unable to get full details Of the
proposed new bank here. However,
from what we can gather, the required
amount of stock has been subscribed
and if the state banking department
will grant them a charter there is no
reason why Wood should not have a
bank in the very near future TO fiji
the place of the defunct First State
The capital stock Of the new bank
is to be $4,000. Wood sorely needs,
and there is room and ample business
here to support a good strong bank.
We hope to be able to give more de-
tails Of the bank developments in q
future issue.

HAPPY HOLLOW

Arrangements have been made to
complete the work of painting the
church this week. Already responses
are coming from the "old timers. y
A dollar each have been received from
n. A. Gclig and Mrs. Hanna, of White
River-which shows that it pays to
advertise 1t is q little early to hear
from those who are far away, but we
predict that many will respond in due
time. The preservation Of this little
church is most worthy act. These
are hard times for most of us, but
"wherc there's will, there's way"
and the people of Happy Hollow have
always been able to find the way.
The young people Of this communi'
ty are looking forward with keen an
ticipation to Hallowe 'en party in the
basement of the church. Needless to
say, it will be a merry occasion.
This is the best equipped country
church in Mellette county-perhaps in
the state. 1t has full basement, fur
mace, kitchen and dining room equip
ment. The children of the community
are fortunate, indeed, to have parents
with the foresight to provide such a
place for social gatherings as this
little church affords. We trust the
future will bring them many happy
occasions, and when they grow into
manhood and womanhood they will
look back with sweet memories of the
days Of their childhood spent meath
the friendly roof of the little church
in Happy Hollow.

High Taxes and Radicalism

Why is it that high taxes seem to
be an inevitable result of radical rule ?
When North Dakota took it's plunge
into state socialism the taxes immedi-
ately went up and soon the state was
groalling under tax rate it had never
known before.
Last year a governor Of Oklahoma
was elected who promised great things
for the poor people.
Now the news comes that Oklahoma
will have the highest tax rate in its
history, 31a mills, and this will not be
enough to keep the state on cash
basis.
The radicals have had plenty of op-
portunity to demonstrate what they
could do in the line Of government.
The experience thus far is that
when the radicals get into power, the
people get it in the neck.

WHITE RIVER S DAM BUSINESS
Especial to the Pioneer)

The work has begun. "A trip TO the
Little White river west of town makes
Us all realize that our dream has really
come true. A noted lecturer once said
that every worth while accomplish
ment is first worked out in a day
dream. Years ago, when Mellette
county was in its infancy, we used to
dream of the wonderful future of this
little town in the heart of the beauti-
ful Rosebud country. We dreamed
dreams Of the day when we would
have a railroad. We dreamed OF the
halnessing of the little river which
flows SO merrily over the rocks, hur-
rying on to join the Father of Waters.
Today we viewed the first construc-
tion work for the dam.
Hundreds of sacks of sand have
been placed III the river III the form
of hollow square on the east side !;
the west side of the inclosure thus
formed reaches to the middle of the
stream. The water will be pumped
out of this inclosure and the concrete
work begun. When the east side of
the dam is finished the construction
Of the west side will be effected in
similar manner. Immense piles of
lumber are placed in the area west
of the dam site. This represents
thousands Of dollars, but when the
work is completed it will be a fitting
monument to the progressive spirit of
the people of the well known little
city out in the heart of the Rosebud
country.
With such power plant the town
of White River is bound to grow.
Keep your eye on White River.

Mellette County Takes Blue
Ribbon at the State Fair
Especial to the Pioneer)

Mrs. Hanna, of White River, ad-
vises us that she is in receipt Of a
letter from Mrs. A. J.. Grebel, Super
intendent of the Primary Division
of the State Sunday School assOcia-
tion. In this letter Mrs. Grebel makes
the following statement: "You will
be pleased to learn That the display
of the primary department OF the
White River Congregational Sunday
School took first premium at the state
fair this year.
In consideration of the fact that
there are many counties III the state
of South Dakota, and that in each
county there are many Sunday Schools
the Congregational Sunday School has
Just cause to feel elated over this
news. Mellette county is yet in its
infancy, but she is taking big steps
when she is able to steal the blue
ribbon from the older and better
equipped counties Of the state. This
is another boost for White River, the
little town that does big things.

Railroad Valuations

The government has spent hund-
red million dollars and has forced the
railroads to spend a hundred and
fifty million more in tabulating rail
road valuations. The result has
proved what every railroad student,
financier and economist knew-that
there is more surplus than water in
our railroad shares. Measured by
any honest standard our twenty bill

has been pounded by politics, labor
unions and legislation down to sixty
cents on the dollar, could not be re-
