Sixty-on- e MILK Finer Flavor and Quality f sembled frontiersmen that the first district court in the Black Hills was convened. Next year, though, Judge Bennetts courtroom will be under 20 feet of water and so will the rest of Sheridan. Once it was the county seat of Pennington county; once it was the location of the United States land office; once it was the headquarters for South Dakota miners; and once it was the town where men came simply to spend money. It was a true boom town. But now the Rapid City-Hi-ll City Izaak Walton league and the Harney national forest have made all necessary arrangements, and Sheridan is going to be flooded. A dam site to flood the entire valley has been located in the national forest. The forest service will build the dam. Arrangements are being made to buy the land which will be flooded, and more than 150 acres have already been purchased. Options have been obtained on the majority of the unpurchased land. The lake created by the dam will fill the entire valley covering nearly 400 acres to an average depth of 60 feet. It will be filled by Spring creek, Horse creek and other small streams, draining a territory of 150 square miles. The Izaak Walton league plans to develop a resort around the lake. Present plans call for construction of a lodge, leasing summer home sites, and installing facilities for all kinds of water sports. 1 Tin-Ca- n floor of a log cabin here, peered around the room, and told the as- Was., 986 il AUTO LOANS and INSURANCE MOTOR FINANCE CO.

A resolution urging the removal of the monument erected by Lord Curzon in memory of the victims of the Black Hole of Calcutta has been presented by Professor Humayun Kabir, Indian secretary of the Oxford University union, on ground the tragedy never occurred. "There was never any mention of the tragedy in official accounts," he declared, nor did Clive refer to it in his treaty with Serajoddoawala, who was supposed to have been responsible for the atrocities. "It is physically impossible to pack 146 human beings in a room 18 feet square, and there is evidence to show that on the date of the alleged tragedy, June 20, 1756, there were hardly 25 Europeans alive in Calcutta."

During six months of every year in the hurricane season, Niua with its population of 1,200 natives and three whites is cut off from the outside world, as no ship can approach its rocky slopes. Eleven years ago, Ramsay, an excellent swimmer, arranged that a monthly tourist steamer plying between New Zealand and Fiji stop long enough at the island to drop mail overboard sealed in a tin can and receive another can from the shore. So every month Ramsay, with two native out to the ship companions,-swathrough hurricane seas, carrying the outgoing mail tied to sticks of bamboo, deposited it in a bucket dangling from the ships side and returned with the precious tin can of mail for the islanders.

Before deciding upon the name contained in the letters missive, notes a writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the king receives the recommendation of the prime minister, who has generally received the advice of the archbishop or of other bishops, before deciding upon the name to be recommended. Thus, the procedure in appointing an archbishop, or a bishop, in the Church of England in England, is as follows: 1. A license to elect and letters missive from the king to the chapter. 2. Election by the chapter. 3. Confirmation of election held first in Bow church, and later at the church house, London. The confirmation devolves upon the archbishop, or his vicar general, or upon the metropolitan bishop and two other bishops, or upon four selected LONDON. vmsLmmsmsm 1 D. years ago Judge Granville G.

Fills Bishopric Vacancy According to the history of the Church of England, (25 Henry VUI, c. 20), when the vacancy of a bishopric occurs, the crown is empowered, by .statute of 1534, to send the dean and chapter (of the diocesan cathedral) a license to elect, with a letter missive, containing the name of the person whom they shall elect. If the chapter fails to elect within. 12 days, the crown appoints a bishop by letters patent, and the chapter failing to elect, or the archbishop, or other appointed bishops, failing to consecrate, are subject to Pioneer South Dakota Settle- Red Cap LOST CONTINENT IS FOUND IN MEXICO Church of England How I unique and colossal geologic formation which stands stumplike in the Black Hills. The striated stone, measuring 1,000 feet in diameter at its base, occupies one and a half acres of territory, and stands 865 feet above ground. Geologists hold that about 50,000,000 years ago, when the Black Hills were forming, molten rock started to force its way through weak points in the limestone and sandstone in the area. These formed surface flows, sills and lava "blisters. Some of the molten masses came through passages that were nearly rounded or oval. The cooling of the molten lava in the passages produced necks or plugs, sometimes called pipes. Weathering frequently exposes these rocks, which remain standing as promontories. Devils Tower was proclaimed a national monument ' by Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. . " . in U. S. In 1673 There is strong reason to believe that the first discovery of coal on this continent was made in Illinois, by the early French explorers, some time between 1673 and 1680. "It is Coal-Foun- remarkable," states James MacFar-lan- e, in "Coal Regions of America," "that the first discovery of coal in America of which there is any account in a printed book was made so far in the interior as Illinois by Father Hennepin more than 250 Hennepins map, acyears ago. companying the edition of his journal published in 1693, locates a coal mine in the bluffs of the Illinois river near Ottawa, where an inferior quality of bituminous coal comes to the surface. Referring to this record left by Hennepin, R. C. Taylor, another authority in economic geology, states: "This is the earliest notice on record of the existence of coal in America." NEW YORK. Discovery of "a lost continent" in northern Mexico is reported to the Geological SociThe area, ll ety of America. explained, was buried 100,000,000 years ago beneath the sediments of an ancient sea. Indications have also been found of a lost ocean which separated North and South America during the same age. Evidence of the missing land and sea has been uncovered by Dr. Lewis B. Kellum, associate professor of geology at the University of Michigan and Dr. Ralph Imlay of the museum of paleontology at the Their University of Michigan. studies will be completed this summer in the state of Sonora in northwestern Mexico by Doctor Imlay, who has just been awarded a grant by the society. As remapped by geologists, the continent has the shape of a bear's paw which points east and projects 250 miles from the southern border of Texas into an ocean which lay in what is now the central part of Mexico. Get First Clues. Layers of different types of rock, set like leaves of a closed book, each' with fossilized marine life, found during previous expeditions, gave geologists the first clues leading to the discovery. A shoreline exposed by erosion in the southern section of the state of Coahuila added valuable information. To geologists, the rock layers are part of a code, each layer representing an age through which the earth passed. The rocks within the area, now crumpled and folded, were traced back to the Permian age. Locating the shoreline of the lost continent in northwestern Mexico by studying the rock layers on the sides of the gulleyi, canyons, and gulches cut by erosion is the principal object of Doctor Imlays expedition. He will concentrate his research over an area of 8,000 square miles in Sonora between Caborca and Altar on the west and the eastern boundary of Sonora on the east where it is believed the shoreline of the lost continent will be found. In mapping the outlines of the continent, geologists have placed the shoreline boundary as approximately extending east along northern Sonora and slightly north to a point 75 miles southeast of El Paso, Texas, within the United States. From this point it is definitely known that the line turns sharply southward across the Rio Grande and through the eastern part of the state of Chihuahua before extending southeast through the state of Durango where bandits held up and robbed the first expedition to the area in 1933. At that time a geologist was slightly wounded and costly scientific equipment stolen. Trace Shoreline. The continental shoreline executes in the state of Coaan about-fac- e huila at the point of the bears toe and continues northward into northwestern Coahuila. In turning again to the southeast, the shoreline forms a leaning inverted "V," the right arm of the "V" stopping near the border of the state of Nuevo Leon. "Although these studies hare no direct economic application, says Doctor Imlay, they are of interest to both petroleum and mining geologists, because of their regional scope and bearing on the nature and reflection in overlying strata of a continental margin, and their possible contribution to knowledge of the factors which control ore deposition. In geologic exploration for petroleum, the present trend is toward-searcfor buried shorelines. In southern Coahuila erosion has exposed an old shoreline. Thfo can be examined on the surface over a broad area and its relation to the structure of the enclosing rocks can be seen. Its projection to the northeast beneath overlying strata may well lead to disclosure of a reservoir in areas where source beds of petroleum interfinger with, or overlie, the shore face. In ore prospecting, knowledge of horizons in which ore deposition commonly occurs may be of prime importance. If mineralization has been found to be limited to one or two horizons in the stratagraphic column, accurate mapping of the area will narrow the belt to be intensely prospected." ek - ed Of lO'i'j DISCOUNT on all MONTAGUE FLY RODS, Priced from ... tfO Tapered Fly Lin6s Sportsmen Special Flies $2.19 to $5.25 3 for 25c 10 IU QC ft? yd.

Some are cultivated in gardens, but the grow wild in fields, majority marshes, woods, or along the roadside. Some are dangerous because they may be eaten by humans, particularly children, either because they resemble plants known to be harmless or because the fruit or flowers are attractive. Among the plants poisonous when eaten by man are: A cultivated ornamental of the garden. Pokeweed A tall perennial herb common in clearings, open woods, and along the borders of woods. The most poisonous part of this plant is the large, fleshy root. Children are sometimes poisoned from eating the berries. Monkshood Plants cultivated In the garden for ornament.
