McMASTER AND JOHNSON
HAVE SAFE LEAD
The Press in a chorus with all!
the weeklies that come to our desk,! |
gave last weeks primary election <
to governor McMaster for U. S. <
Senator and to Calvin Coolidge for i
the presidency.
, 11Owing to bad road conditions |
throughout the state returns were (
slow in coming in and up to the |
time when we were forced to go j
to press the candidates were lead- i
ing as reported having just been <
confirmed by a special wire to this
paper. |
put no sooner had the Press got j
into the hands of its readers, when <
tUi tables turned on Coolidge and ;
Johnson took tiny lead. Several j i
times the lead was again snatched \
from him by narrow margins but ‘ <
finally Johnson swung in to stay |
and his official vote now stands at <
40,282 against Coolidge 28,515. I
McMaster holds a lead of more \
than 11,000 over senator Sterling, i

WILL ACCEPT BIDS
FOR MISSOURI BRIDGE;
The state highway commission is
advertising for bids for a four span j
bridge across the Missouri river at
Chamberlain. Bids are to be open-!
ed April fifteenth and the work:
to be completed by May of 1925.
Jackson county’s highway super-
intendent J. E. Buckmaster re-:
turned from Pierre early this week
with the photograph of a drawing
of the proposed bridge. It is now;
on display mt his offices and is
arousing much interest in the long;
dreamed and talked ot project.
This graceful steel structure meas- 1
ures 1480 feet between abutments
and has a distance of 330 feet be-
tween each of the four spans and;
a headroom of forty feet to the,
lowest watermark. It will be lo-
cated 1050 feet down stream from
the Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
bridge.
Our readers may rest assured
that a lot of the hinderance to
travel including even the obstruct-
ion to the passage of the maijs
which we are experiencing this
week, will be done away with and
travelers will have no occasion to
inquire anxiously whether they
can get across the river at Cham-
berlain or not. The new bridge
when completed will settle thjs
problem once and for all. It is
another step in the advancement
and progress of the west-river
country and as such will be hailed
frith delight.
MARCH GOES OUT ROARING
The present month has not been
a very pleasant one. In fact it j:
.has not come up to the gentle’<j standard set by the earlier winter j
'months at all and the first of; 1
April finds covers of solid ice over;!
open waters and the landscape * 1
covered with a blanket of white. |i
What must perhaps be recorded
as the worst .snowstorm of the
winter arrived last Friday on the
crest of a rainstorm. The tempera-
ture dropped below freezing and
in a short time streets and walks I
I were fit to skate on. Friday night
it began to snow and the weather- ji
: man kept up this program until \
! Sunday morning. Wh&n Kadoka ;
woke ui> on the Sabbath the dea-| criptions, in Whittiers “Snow-
bound” were applicable to Kadoka.
Drifts from three to five feet high
! were obstructing street and walk
I and many of our good people took i| their early morning exercise with p
the snow shovel. The sun .appear-j
ed smiling; but could do only lit-!
! tie that day in spite of the advane-jjed season. Monday was another fj bright day, but the breezes coming ,j from the north, the snow stayed(on. Although diminishing little!(by little there is still ots of evi-;
1 deuce of the past storm as we go
ito press. During the night it;(freezes hard. ;<
The storm as it appeared here Ij was the tail end of a most damag-j
; ing blizzard which struck north-,jern Minnesota and North Dakota.!
In the eastern part of the state it ¦i did much damage. Near Salem on(
one two mile stretch no less thani,
75 sleet laden telephone poles
i yielded under the strain, Pjorre!
i had twice the snow that we had j; here and the roof of a garage at
'Fort Pierre gave way under the'
load. j
. The -now and frost will retardl
farming somewhat and our friends!
iin the country arc getting impa-
tient to get into the field to plant j
their spring crops. With hotterjweather promised it is hoped that;
field work may ho taken up in!

THE NORTH CAROLINA
“STOP LAW”
Through J. C. Pease, local sta-
tion agent for the Milwaukee rail-
road company, we are placed in
posession of the following facts
which were brought to his attent-
ion by C. A. Christoffor, superinten-
dent of this division of the Mil-
waukee:
‘‘ln the state of North Carolina
at highway crossings of the South-
ern Railway, the number of per-!
sons killed by trains in the last
six months of 1923 was four, and of
in jured 11: as compared with fi kill-,
ed and 24 injured in the first half
of the yc ?V‘, and larger numbers in
half years lie fore that. Those
figures are reported by the railway
company in connection with a note
on the law of North Carolina re-
quiring drivers of automobiles to;
stop before crossing railroad tracks
and the law is given credit for the
diminution in the number of dis-
asters at crossings. The number
!of motor vehicles registered in
I North Carolina last year was 217,
212 as compared with 182.(M)0 in!
! 1922.”
ESTIMATED WEALTH OF THE
STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA

The Department of Commerce an-| nounces* for the‘State of South
Dakota, its preliminary estimate
’ of the value December 31, 1922, of
' the principal forms of wealth, the
total amounting to $2, 925,968,000
as compared with $1,314,881,000 in
1912, au increase of 122.5 per cent.
Per capita values increased from
$2,105 to $1,182, or 112.9 per cent.
I All classes of property increased

property ami improvements in-
-11 creat'd from $571,782,000 to $1,890-| 843,000, or 2:10.7 per cent; exempt
. real property (exclusive of Fossil
Cycad National Monument and
[ Wind Cave National Park) from
$67,880,000 to slßl, 775.000 or 169.9
per cent; live stock from $145,-
1 815,(KM) to $ 152,592,000 or 4.6 per

i Privately owned transportation andi transmission enterprises, other

I vehicles other than motor, furni-
f turo, and clothing from $272,174,-
y 0(H) to $291,167,000 or 7.0 per cent,
t No comparison is possible for the
value of motor vehicles, which was
c>i estimated in 1922 at $46,076,000
*• I because no separate estimate was
t) made in 1912.
ki In making these estimates the
e; Department followed in general
o j the methods employed in making
e; the estimates for 1912, though it
s; i* believed that in some respects
'-jthe work in 1922 hgs been more

ROY MILLIKEN
UTICAS LIVE WIRE
Not far from Yankton, S. D. lies
the village of Utica. When the
Press scribe lived in Yankton it
had no newspaper, it had no under-
taking parjors. it had no movies,
it had no monument works, in;
short it lacked many things. It 1
wns very much dependent on the
mother eity of Vnnkton.
Hut better days for Utica were,
in sight when one of Yankton high
schools twin athletes dropped in-
to the burg and swept up. No
fooner had ho decided to call it
home when things began to be
doing. Roy Milliken, well known
hen* as the twin brother of Ray
put in a printing press. Folks
shook their heads, but Roy kept!
smiling. From a few subscribers!
his list grew ns time went on for
Roy delivered the goods as In* had
done in high school. Next he set,
up a hardware store and this, too!
proved a success. He was then en-
couraged to provide the Uticans!
yfith amusement. A movie started !
and it is going and growing still.
His ambitions the.n reached into;
the village council chambers to the;
post office, yea even into the state
legislature. Utica had no under-!
taker. Ro« r Idled that want. He;
next saw that the folks like con-
crete memorials for their (lend, so!
he sold them tombstones. Fords!
were the only cars sold in town.
Roy saw the need for a better car
for his fellow townsmen and sold
them C'hevrolets. Utica owes Roy
much for he has filled their every j
want lie could possibly fill except
running their bank anil their
butcheyshop. Here is wishing you j
continued success Roy. j

NO EAST MAIL
FOR FOUR DAYS,
Last Saturday morning the Mil-
waukee railroad, bridge at Chamb-
i rlain went out again when the
cable controlling the pontoon
bridge snapned under the strain of
the onrushing ice from further up
stream in North Dakota and Mon-
tana. As a consequence no trains!
could cross. The ferry also was]
unable to make the transfer. Mon-i
day no mail came from the east.)
Passengers wanting to cross from!
this side got as far as Oacoma and j
were either given a free return |
ride or compelled to hire cars to \
make the crossing at Pierre. Tues-'
day the same condition continued.,
•>n Wednesday some eastern mail
trickled in by way of Philip and
on the circuitous route via Pierre,
and Rapid City. Early Wednesday
afternoon the first mail came j
across front Chamberlain when the
bridge was repaired. Since then
trains front ’he east have |*ecn
from two to four hours late. P»ut,
our good and patient folk do not
mind a little thing’ like that. Jt is
all in gettinc used to it.

FATHER FORFEITS HIS
LOAFING FRANCHISE
“Back so soon. Bill? Thought you
went over to get shaved?”
“Yeh-ah, I went over, but the
shop was jammed full of bobcats.
Not a chance to get into the chair."
It wasn’t so long ago that Sister
Susan first ventured timidly within
the portals of the harbor shop.
Now that the amputation of flow-
iu tlosses has become “the thinjr,’'
despite fast disappearing masculine
ridicule and ever weakening dis-
approval of old fashioned matrons.
Sister Susan and a multitude of her
fellow' bobkittens throng the ton-
sorial workshops and clutter up the
chairs formerly occupied by father
and Brother Hill while waiting
their turn.
And now mother is joining the
sorority of bobcats. First exclaim-
ing in horror when thc idea is sug-
gested, then wondering is she would
look so awful after all, and
finally accumulating the necessary
courage to attempt the dire deco,
mother bids gnodby to her flowing'
locks and sends them fo the junkheap.
Short hair is undeniably the
mode. We have the marcelled
maiden worrying over her wave.We have the straight haired brun-
ette with her locks smoothed to the
sleazy slickness of a peeled onion.And we have the increasing society
of the Sliingledecker sisters, sport-
ing a Senegambian swirl. More-
over, as time goes on, the bobgrows bobbier, and the hair ends
creep closer to the scalp.
I’oor father! ’ His cozy seat atißernards the harlier’s is preemptedby a skirted customer. 4L feminineform sinks into its inviting depths
and scornfully sniffs at the bath-
ing beauties in the pink weeklies
which father once viewed with de-light. Sprightly talk of clothes;ind cars and curling irons comesf rom the seat where father was
wont to sit and save the country,lime passes and customs are alter-
ed.
Shall wc in a few more years
view father sporting the hirsutedecorations of the House of David,
coming home in the evening and
wrestling with a frying pan jn an
attempt to fend off faiipjpe, while
mother waits downtown for her
.-eiiii-monthly shearing? WiR therebe a sob son written, patterned
after the pathetic ballads of the

sorial palace a thong of gaily gar-
bed women await the sound of thebarber's voice intoning a dulcet
“Next." All is charm and chatter.Slowly the door opens and littleLeonard timidly peeks in, then
silently tintoes across the floor to
where his maternal parent is park-
’d and pi |ies this pijyful appeal:
“Mother, dear mother, eome home
with me now;
The curfew is wailing its blast,
And father is neck-deep in trouble
at home—-

The poor man is weakening fast.
The floor is unswept, the dishes un-

TOURISTS TO HAVE EASY
ACCESS TO WILD GAME
Reports emanating from the state
park in the Black Hills are to the
effect that this winter the park
commission is making every effort
to place wild game conveniently
neaj the highways near the state
park lodge. Buffalo, elk, antelope,
doer, mountain sheep and goats are
put in enclosures right next to the
highway leading through tht%park,
thus offering every passing ear a
chance to see them.
The work of the commission will
he greatly appreciated by the tour-
ists for hitherto many have just
driven their cars through the park
and although looking for the rare
native inhabitants of the Hills,
never saw them because of the love
of the wild game to retreat from
public view. For the benefit of the
visiting state editors last August,
park authorities kindly rounded up
their wild charges. Thus the state
pencil pushers had a good view of
the entire herds. This summer
every one will have a chance to
see at least a few specimen of the
rare animals from his ear as he
nasses on the beautiful highway.
This act of thoughtfulness on the
nart of the highway commission
will surely be appreciated by the
summer gvpsv tribe. It you have
not seen them, good reader, make
it a point and take the family
there sometime this summer. You
will he pleased with the park and
its wild life.
WHY NOT A LIBRARY HERE?
One of the things that coopera-
tion, the spirit of the times, might
b.ing to Kadoka. is a public library.
The long winter months are draw-
ing to a close with the arrival of
smiling old sol on Apri first and
from now on there will be much
diversion by moans of the auto-
mobile aided by good roads and
nice weather.
However a scant six or seven
months separate us from the season
wnen evenings will again be long,
when the snow flies and our good
people are more or less compelled,
as in other communities, to stay
inside. It is then that good read-
ing. books and magazines, will be
most welcome. Right now' is the
time to think of this and the
Press would like to bring this mat-
ter lo the attention of the memb-
ers of our live clubs and lodges.
There is a very active group of
ladies in the Kadoka Womans
club. The men of the Commercial
Club call themselves boosters. We
have half a dozen lodges with very
active, progressive and public
spirited members. To all these
good and well meaning intelligent
folk the Press would respectfully
appeal to give this idea their
thoughtful consideration. I* is
not out of our reach ami will prove
a blessing far beyond the cost of
monev and effort put in. A library
would provide good reading for
both young and old and do away
with a lot of dull evenings that
can be spent profitably, education-
ally in good reading. ITo old
folks \v*Jl welcome it and it will
give the young something to do
aside from idle and harmful run-
ning the streets with the harmful
or •ompanvment it brings with it
Co-oneration will “nut it over’
and “the suns rays do not burn un-
it brought, to a focus.” Lot out
•tubs and lodges consider this mat-
tor at thyir meetings still to conn
! this soring and when the time ol
! eho* to“ da' s comes again some-
tangible in this line can Ik
I the result.
