'SEE SOUTH DAKOTA FIRST"

Why go far afeld in search of
summer vacation trips when South
Dakota offers so much? Why jou-
rney to the far north and to other
uttermost parts of he earth to
rest mind and body in cool breezes
and by gazing upon scenery when
within the borders of the state are
scenic wonders unsurpassed any
where, beautiful bodies of water
in which fish await the anglers
efforts?
Possibly it is no exception to the
general rule, but it is unquestion-
awly true that the people Of South
Dakota themselves have not seen
the innumerable beauty spots Of
the state. When one speaks Of
) enery and of natures beauty, we
all instinctively think of the Black
Hills. That region, according to
those who have travelled hither
and yon over the world, is unsur-
passed from a standpoint of beau
ty and grandeur. When Bryant
said in his immortal "Thanatopsis," ="
Take the wings of the morning
and the Barcan desert pierce, or
lose thyself in the continuous
woods where rolls the Oregon" the
stateliness of his lines and the Wis
ia Of broad sweeps in Gods great
out of doors could have as well
been applied to the Black Hills Of
South Dakota as to the farther
northwest country. Beauty and
majesty Incompatible await you
there as nowhere else.
In recent years, united efforts
upon the part of the people of that
section have provided bodily com
forts for those who desire to be
housed and fed after the manner
they are at home. Hotels are the
re at convenient places. The state
has constructed highways leading
to almost all of the wonders Of
that wonderful region. To those
who delight in roughing it, the
appeal is even stronger, for camp
ing places abound everywhere. The
altitude may he to your liking. IF
it is the setting sun over the mOu-
ntains which you desire to observe.
broad slopes are seemingly made
to order. If morning lights and
shades appeal more strongly to
you, you can likewise be accom-
modated. If trout fishing carries
the strongest appeal, your favorite
sport awaits you. Never, anywhere
has nature been more lavish with
her gifts of beauty and grandeur
and majesty than in that region.
To those who are unable to jou-
rney asy far as the Hills, abound
almost everywhere in the state to
attract those who like the water
and fishing. 1t is a short journey
from almost any point in the state
to some beautiful body of water.
And yet there are people not far
away who think Of South Dakota
as broad expanse Of prairie dot
ted here and there by the abode of
man, a trying stretch of level cou-
ntry, unembelished by the beaut-
les of nature.
"See South Dakota First" should
be printed upon every envelope
used in the state and should ap-
pear in every piece of advertising
issued-Sioux Falls Press.

HIGH WATER WASHES UP SAFE
 FROM SANDS OF RIVER

Early in the week several well known Nomeites were walking alon gthe north bank of Snake river. opposite the spillway. and their attention was drawn to a pe- culiar looking object on the spit side of the river. They crossed in a boat and discovered partly uncov- cred safe.
 Visions of Captain Kidd's treas ure flashed thru the minds of the discoverers. The safe was quite large and the combination had been thrown and it was necessary to en- list the services of one of Nome's expert safe crackers. Getting busy on the job the safe was dug out and hauled upon the bank where the mcdaniel immediately got busy making forceable entry. Before be ginning his operations it was de- cided between the finders and the "safe cracker" that the wealth con tained in the safe would be divided equally between the members of the party.
 The door was forced and the con- tents found frozen into an icy mass When thawed out the mass disclosed legal papers, blanks and a number of law books. A suspicious looking drawer was located and visions of White Lights, Jazz and Ziegfield follies now seemed a reality. This too was finally opened and a real poke was found, containiNS nine single coppers. which In an equal distribution meant three cents for each of the finders and the mechanic
 The safe and contents belonged to Gus Boltz and it is presumed the storm of 1913 is responsible for it's present location.

PANAMA RIVER BREAKS
 AT NENANA

A wireless from Fairbanks states that the Panama river at Nenana has broken up. No date or further mention of ice conditions is made.
 The people Of Nenana have form ed an Ice Pool. amounting to $1O,- 900, to be awarded the persons making the closest guess as to when the break up would occur. From the list submitted it is evident that considerable division of the amount was made as there were six winners. Following persons partic- ipated in the pool distribution:
 Alex Carlsen. R. E. Bigney. Farrel & Co.,, Carl Seichero. Mrs. McPhail. Panama Social Club.
 From a report received early in the week it is learned that the Yu- kon broke at NulatO.

 the feasibility of the safeguard was demonstrated. With the mouth

 sistent use of dynamite kept break ing up the ice mass until the pres
 sure was reduced to a safety point. Fortunately cold snap set in Sum

 Turnout Saturday and Sunday the river front was lined with inter ested spectators. It is needless to
 state that each group of spectators had a different solution of the pro- blem confronting the Road Com
 mission. Each one thot that its certain plan was the right one to
 save the works. Many, it is to be
 lamented, hoped that the pressure would become so great that the re-
 vetments or the jetties would go out, and in that manner discredit the men in charge Of the work. The danger is now past and the government project has stood test { that has proved the worth of the l structures; has proved that the
 work done by the constructing en- | gineers is honest. in fact has stood
 test that has but one equal or greater, namely, a movement Of the
 ice from the southeast or east. The | inclined plane structure of the jet l ties was so built that ice movements i would rise over or ride the heavy
 timbers instead of striking them at
 right angles, and shearing them as { is the case with 90 degree jetties or ] docks.
 Apparently it is the concensus of ! opinion that it would be far better i to let the river break up in it's own fashion and not try to hasten the breakup by dynamiting inside the
 Jetties. If dynamiting is necessary it seems much more logical to do
 such work outside the jetties. on

 and no further danger may be antic- ipated.

SNAKE RIVER BREAKS

The warm days and nights of last week caused a heavy rush of water from the hills in the hinterland with the result that Snake River and it's tributaries were booming. Along the lower reaches of Snake River the ice lifted and moved toward the mouth. carrying huge masses of ice that soon formed tremendous jam at the mouth between the jetties.
 The Alaska Road Commission under whose supervision water front operations proceed until ar rival of the first boats. employed a crew of men to dynamite the jam and protect the Harbor structure.
 As the ice in Boring Sea has not yet moved a solid wall remains just beyond the harbor mouth, making it impossible for river ice to move be- yond that certain point. All that the workmen could accomplish was to break the river ice into smaller pieces and permit the rush of water to enter the sea underneath.
 Saturday at P. M. was the cri- tica1 danger period. The river wa ter rose to within a few inches of the revetment top and conjectures were rife as to whether the works would stand the pressure. On the Spit side the government engineers

SCHOOL NOTES. (COntributed.)
f 1. + # + j. :. * E :. s. :. :. :,

The school term for this year will be completed June Sth. The usual final examination will take place the last week. There are two graduating classes. the eighth grade and senior class. The eighth grade will take the customary territorial examinations next week. Next year it is hoped there will be larger at tendance than there has been for some time. in the High School. due to the fact that students are ex- pected to arrive from the outside.
 Exercises are being planned which will terminate the school year. By the time vacation is over, no doubt all will be ready to resume success full school activities again.
 MT. Frank Dufresne. federal game warden, paid the Nome public school visit. He dwelt on the subject of killing ptarmigan out of season. Due to the fact that there are rum ors of some of the boys going out after ducks and killing ptarmigan he politely told them not to do it again. since they must bear the full consequences of the law the same as a bootlegger or theft. He said that this warning does not only apply to the school boys, but to each and every person who attempts violation of this law. In regard to shooting ptarmigan during the mating sea son he says: They've done it be- fore, but they're not going to do it this year and get away with it He stated the fine is $25.00 or from twenty to thirty days in jail The boys wish to thank him for the warning and wish the Association the best of luck.

Captures Three Pound Fish

A road crew in charge of Roland
Perkins was proceeding up Elm
street. Monday noon, on its way to
the country. The high water had all
but overlooked the road near the
Davis Miller landing and had backed
up through Coburn Brook making a
good sized lagoon between Elm
street and Pleasant street. Some
thing was thrashing around in the
edge of this overflow and upon inves-
tgation it was found to be big
sucker. The men had little difficulty
capturing him.
1t seems that these fish are thrown
from their usual routes of travel by
high water. Near the eddy where the
river has overfiowed 1t Is said that
they are SO plentiful that people
could capture them by the basketful.

not needed. 1t was simply a case
of wading into the shallow places and
gathering them up by the handful or
armful.

Where to Go Fishing

where to go fishing AS Maine is

seems to be a natural thing for every
body to blow their own horns, so
perhaps / am selfish in speaking of
the Dead River region, but think
we have large assortment of
places, so will speak of few. The
Dead River region begins at the Can
ada line and goes on down to the
Kennebec River, so | will speak OF
places that are open to the public on
this river The upper region of this
river Is what is known as the Megan-
tic Preserve, which is not open to
the public. AS we leave Chain of
Lakes, the first place down is Jim
Pond, Grover Green, proprietor. Here
we find good fishing in early spring
and some good fishing later, but not
a place where we can have fish every
day unless we are willing to work
for them by working I mean this,
Mr.. Green has a lot of outlying ponds
and streams and some of these are
bound to be good fishing all the time.

mend this place both as fishing
place and vacation resort. Next
