VOLUME II KADOKA, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1910 NUMBER 39
SNOWFALL BULLETIN.
The snowfall in South Dakota dur-
in December, 1909, was considerably
above normal, and averaged 15.0 in-
ches. The largest amounts were re-
corded in tho more elevated portions
Of the Black Nills district; elsewhere
over the state the snowfall ranged
from 5 inches to as much as 24 inches
and amounts ranging from 3 to 18 in-
ches, but mostly from 3 or 4 to 10 in-
ches remaining on the ground at the
close of the month. The month open-
ed with practically no snow on the
ground except in some of the north-
eastern counties, and but little in the
Black Hills district.
The total snowfall in the Black
Hills district of the state during Dec-
eember ranged from 59.3 inches at
Hardy Range station, in the extreme
southeastern portion of Lawrence
county, to 7 inches at HillCity, Pen-
nington county, and at the end of the
month the snow remaining on the
ground in this district ranged from 38
inches at Tinton, in the western por-
tion of Lawrence county, very near
the Wyoming line, to only a trace in
parts of Butte,Custer and Pennington
counties, a Chinook wind near the end
of the month having in places caused
a considerable reduction in the depth.
In most places in this district, par-
ticularly in the more elevated local-
ities, and the gulches, the snow is
well packed, and the gulches arc well
filled.
The accompanying tables apply
wholly to the Black Hills district, the
<iata beiug expressed in inches.

FREE DELIVERY FOR TOWNS.
Folks who live in towns of a thous-
and population will have all the post-
al facilities enjoyed by people in the
great cities, if a bill introduced in the
house by Representative Griest of
Pennsylvania, goes through. The bill
proposes the establishment of an urb-
an mail delivery service in such towns
where there are second or third class
postoflices and it contemplates a fea-
ture of all the mail service vhich may
be viewed as an extension of the ru-
ral delivery while in fact it also em-
bodies the principles of the city de-
livery service. “There is a gap be-
tween the city and rural mail deliv-
ery,” said Mr. Griest, “which is liter-
ally a discrimination against many
millions of people residing in approx-
imately 5,000 of the smaller cities or
towns throughout the country. These
citizens are supporting a class of post-
offices which do not add to the postal
deficit. The cost willhardly approx-
imate $l,OOO per office per annum as
bractically none of the smaller presi-
• deutiai offices would require more!
than two carriers, while in the ma- 1
jority of cases an adequate service!
could ho accorded with . single car-,
rier. The creation of an urban deliv- j
cry service will be sure to result ben-
eficially to the uillionsof citizens liv-,
jng in the sma’ler cities and towns
who just appeal to congress asking
the removal of the discrimination in
the collection and delivery of mail j
matter.”—Journal, Rapid City.
FALSE IMPRISONMENT CHARGED.
Some timp ago Frank Anderson,
state’s attorney of Day county, took
the position that in criminal cases
where a conviction was had in the
circuit court it was the duty of the ;
court in addition to imposing line to
also tax costs of prosecution to defen-
dant, and that in default of payment
of costs the defendant could be im-
prisoned until they were paid. He
subsequently submitted this question j
to Attorney General Clark, who ren- j
dered an opiuinn sustaining his posi-
tion. In the meantime one of the
persons who had been convicted and
sentenced to pay a tine and costs of
prosecution, and who had refused to
pay the costs and had been confined
to jail for such failure commenced ac-
tion against Sheriff Lindquest and
State’s Attorney Anderson for false
arrest, alleging damages in the sum
of $5,000. To the complaint in this
action the sheriff and state’s attorney
interposed a demurrer on the grounds
that the complaint failed to state
facts suflle'ent to constitute a cause
of action. In other words that when
the sheriff confined the plantiff for his
failure to pay the costs he simply did
his duty as an officer of the country
,and that the law of the state justified
him in doing what he did. The de-
murrer was argued to Judge McNulty
at Sisseton this week and was sus
tained.—Journal, Rapid City.

SAVIOUR OF HOMESTEADERS.
Charles F. Weiss, wr ho was in the
city Thursday from Fairpoint said
the snow was ten inches deep up
there in places, and ten feet in others.
Fairpoint is eighty miles northeast of
Rapid City, and in a section of count-
ry not very well wooded. Indeed, if
the settlers depended upon the wood
to be found there for their fuel they
would not fare very well, but there is
plenty of lignite coal in that vicinity.
In one there arc nineteen miners at
work, seven in one and four in an-
other. At Tama there is one mine
in which niue men are working. One
mile east of Fairpoint a man by the
name of George Higgins has a coal
mine from which many tons of coal
are secured daily. The coal brings
SI.OO, and is the saving of people of
the country thereabouts. Mr. Weiss
also said that the report that a man
had frozen to death up there was
hardly true. Near 11. O. Flats on
Eight-mile creek a man was found
dead, with his head smashed, and
frozen, but indications were that be
had fallen off of his load, and in doing
so had hurt himself, his body after-
words freezirg.—Journal, Rapid City.
Fame and Wack Through Cook.
If Cook didn’t discover the north
pole, he did make a great discovery
according to Stbet. Louis Tinies which
recently printed the following
Though Cook may have never discov-
ered the pole,
He discovered a man with a name
that willroll
From the tongue with an unctions eu-
phonic smack—
He discovered Attorney ¦ ¦liin;,: :i ¦
Wack.
Though the heights of McKinley 1..
nev : hieved,
And hie polar discoveries no more are
believed,
What, even though branded a faker
and quack—
He discovered Attorney H. Wellington
Wack.
Oh, Wellington Wack I H. Wellington i
Wack!
We don’t care a rap if Cook never '
comes back;
Though he left us all mourning and
holding the sack,
He discovered Attorney H.Wellington
Wack.
West Milwaukee Shops Had Busy Year.
Owing to the building of freight
cars for the Pacific Coast Extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road the car shops of that company
at Milwaukee have been exceedingly
busy the past year. Box cars and
other pieces of equipment in the
freight line to the number of 5,685
were manufactured. If these were
coupled together and placed on a
single track they would form a train
a little more than forty-eight miles in
length.
Ninety locomotives were turned out
of the shops during the year. If these
were apportioned to the care there
would be ninety freight trains of six-
ty-three ears each, the length of each
train being more that half a mile.
Freight cars to the number of 69,298
were repaired doting the year. These
: if coupled together’ would cover more
than 404 miles of traek.
Ad the ninety freight trains of now
equipment and there would be a con-
tinuous line reaching a length of 45tl
miles.
An average of 5,616 persons were
employed, the payroll for the year
amounted to 93,361.256, giving each
empk/ee an average wage of $598,50
for the twelve months
