GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADEON
HYDR0.ELECTRIC PROJECT

Willie up at White River last Tues
day to view the havoc wrought by the
BIG fire there last Monday morning
we took the opportunity to 90 and
view the progress being made at the
new municipal hydro-electric plant or
the Little White river. The concrete
work has practically all been com.
pletcd--in fact it will be finished
,Omc time this week. Then there will
be the power house to build. The
brick are all on the ground and il
will not take 50 very long with fav.
ornble weather from now on to com
Dlctc this building. The turbine, gen.
orator and other necessary machinery
for cquipping the plant are all at
MurdO now, and as soon as the ice
gocs out in the spring it will not be
so long until the people Of White
River will be enjoying electricity gen
Grated by the waters Of the Little
White river.

expect to build some sort of fire
proof building, either brick or cement
and will have nicer and better quar-
ters than they had before. They
moved their safes and fixtures into
the Mullen building on the north of
Main street, Tuesday, and were TAX
ing care of their customers rs usual
that day.
F. w. Schwartz, who lost his resi-
dence, saved his household goods, and
it is hardly probable that he will re
build, as he has a new home near the
site of the new hydro o-electric plant
and hes already moved into this.
This fire was a severe blow to our
county seat, but the people are made
t the right kind of stuff and we pre-
diet that new and better White
River will grow on the embers OF the
business section that went mp in
smoke. The light plant was threat
encd but BY heroic work the plant
was saved, as were several other build
ings in the rear of the burned section,
Monday there was no place where
one could buy any dry goods Of any
description in White River. There
were two small grocery stores that
could supply the people with eatables.
There was practically no wind the
night Of the fire, which was IA condi.
ton much in their favor and gave
them a chance to c0nfine the fire TO
the buildings that were doomed from
the very start. Had there been a
strong wind from most any direction
the destruction Of property would
have been much greater than it was,
Within an hour and thirty minutes
after the fire was discovered the very
heart of the business section Of White
River was naught but n smoldering
heap Of ashes.
Just how the fire started is a com
>'e mystery, all that is known IS
that it started in the rear Of the
Hooking store, supposedly IN the ware
room, and the flames were lcapin@
through the roof when it was first
discovered.
The re2plc Of Wood sympathise with
our White River friends in their
heavy loss. and only hope that they
will be able to rebuild stronger and
better than before. At best it will
take time for the county seat to fully
recover from the effects Of the fire
The following are the losses as near
rs we could list them Tuesday. The
insurance admsterS were expected to
arrive Tuesday or Wednesday to ad
lust the losses of those who carried
insurance on their property destroyed

GUARANTEE FUND ISSUES
CERTIFICATES TO DEPOSITORS
DEFUNCT FIRST STATE BANK

The depositors of the defunct First
State Bank of Wood last Monday re
ceived from the State Banking De
partment checks for the amounts they
had OH deposit when the institution
closed its doors last August. These
checks will be paid March /, 1924, OF
as soon thereafter as money is avail
able in the depositors guarantee fund
They draw five per cent interest from,
August -, 1923. AS soon as these
checks are paid it will put several
thousand dollars into circulation iii
this community that have been tied
up since the bank failure, and i
ought to go a long way in relievlne
the financial stringenc" locally.
Everybody who had money in thl>
bank was feeling good last Monday
when they were handed the letter
containing their checks. That IS one
thing about carrying your banking
account in a state bank, in case OF
failure .ou can feel nerfectly sure
that wa will eventually get every
cent Of your money, although You
NAV suffer little temporary incon'
venience.

The most disastrous fire in the his.
tory of Mellette county occurred at
White River early last Monday morn
ing. 1t was about two o'clock In the
morning when +. w. Schwartz dis.
covered that the rear end of j. T
Hocking's general merchandise store
was on fire. He Immediately gave the
alarm and it was not long until there
was a generous response OF the people
of White River who were ready to do
all in their power to fight the fire
demon. The buildings destroyed were
all built up solidly on the west side
Of main street and as the town had
no waterworks, there was not much
hope from the very start of saving
any of the buildings. The fire had
gained such headway when first dis.
covered that absolutely nothing was
saved from the Hooking building. The
pool hall owned by Grover Burnett
was next in line and only a mechan-
zeal violin player was saved from this
building.
Mr.. Holland succeeded in saving
something like So 600 worth of his
tock and fixtures, and all of his ac
counts and his safe. The White River
State Bank saved all of their fixtures
and their safes, and suffered little
loss outside of their building. c. b,
Holland stated that he would be open
for business again as soon as the III.
urance adiusters could make the al.
iustments and he could get his stock
Strengthened around and new goods
could be brought in He has arranged
to open up his store temporarily IN
the American Legion hall across the
street from his old stand. Mr.. Hol.
land expects to rebuild bigger and
better on the old site some time dur.
NO the present year, but will not do
much toward building new store
building until the weather has settled.
j. r. Hooking suffered complete
= IS of his entire stock and saved alb
sontelv nothing. Mr.. Hooking was
hard hit and he has not fully decided
as yet Just what he will do. whether
he will again 90 into the mercantile
business or not, he could not say.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, ID. c., January Is
With the approach OF Lincoln Day
there has been Il great demand III
Washington for copies OF the Lincoln
Day memorial proclamation issued
N 1919 by Calvin Coolidge when he
was governor of Massachusetts. Many
Of his admirers claim that this pro
clamation is a literary gem, not only
because of its simplicity of language
but also of the high and noble
thoughts contained therein. Many
nave stated that the humble origin
of Lincoln and Coolidge, both being
poor boys on the farm, had much to do
in moulding their characters and gave
them better view OF life as it al
fects all of the people, not merely a
few.
The proclamation reads as follows i:
Five score and ten years ago that
Divine Providence which infinite re-
petition has made only the more a
miracle sent into the world a new
ife destined to save a nation. No
star, no sign, foretold his coming
About his cradle all was poor and
mean save only the source of all great
men, the love of Il wonderful woman
When she faded away in his tender
years, from her deathbcd III humble
poverty she lowered her son with
greatness. There can be no proper
observance of a birthday which for
gets the mother Into his origin a
INTO his life men have long looked
and wondered In wisdom great, but
in humility greater, In Justice strong
but III compassion stronger, he be
came a leader of men by being a fol
lower of the truth He overcame evil
with good, His presence filled the ia
ton. He broke the might OF oppres
sion. He restored a race to its birth
right. His mortal frame has van
ished, but his spirit increases with the
increasing years, the richest legacy OF
the greatest century.
"Men show by what they Worship
what they are 1t ts no accident that
before the great example ot-'sIs, 'rican
manhood our ~~~"le stand with re.
spect and reverence. And III accord
ance with this sentiment our laws
have provided for a formal recogni
ton OF the birthday Of Abraham Lin
coin, for in him is revealed our ideal
the hope of our country fulfilled.
"Now, therefore, by the authority
of Massachusetts, the 10Th day oil
February is set apart as Lincoln Day
and its observance recommended as
befits the beneficiaries of his life and
the admirers of his character, III
places Of education and worship
wherever our people meet with one
another"
This proclamation, a timely and ex
ceedingly interesting document, has
been likened to the writings Of Abra.
ham Lincoln. There is a similarity in
the phrases used by both, and though
the presidents recent speeches and
messages the fact is apparent that he
has always been n close student of
Lincoln s policies and great believ-
er in the Civil War Presidents 5 exec
utive principles.
