Roberts Just east of the fairgrounds on the Rapid Valley road and now is the owner of the property.

An potion was taken on this ground by the company late in November and on Friday of last week the company took steps to procure full ownership or the land. The property from its location is an ideal one for tbe location of a packing plant. It is close in to thp Will Welcome Him Home Major Bertelero of Lead, when he left that city to fight for Uncle Sam was a memoer of the Alert company of the paid fire department of that city. The big transport on which he is nearlng the shores of America will dock today or tomorrow, and Major with the Deadwod boys who are in his company will hasten to the Hills. The members of the Alert company are preparing for his coming, and have arranged to give him a great reception and feed on his arrival.

The boy propose to give him that which will make him feel his ser and the qualifications required, and also investigating and helping develop new fields. One of the things the bureau Is now working for is equal ier equal work; It is trying to get women's salaries pushed up to where they compare favorably with men's salaries. Miss Bennett believes that the great point in a woman in the right work is not in this mifbh talked of "efficiency," but is securing for her the kind of work she Is contented to do and for which she is qualified, and that, while each person should be competent and her work up to a certain standard, "efficiency" has been talked of so ru(uch that it has beconie a cheap catchword, and there is great danger of developing Ideas of efficiency to such a point that I'lividuallty Is sacrificed. At this, bureau people are advised where to get special training for their work, how to- utilize what they have and how to supplement. This apipltes to college and other trained women.

Miss Bennett is the alert, "progressive type of woman, and seems to possess a keen understanding of human nature, which is a valuable asset in her line of work. drove them were called and it was quite exciting to hear them comflng from a distance as one couldn't tell the crack of the long, black snake whip from a pistol shot. She says tnat if one nas been brought up In a pioneer country accustomed to seeing things grow daily a humdrum life is tiresome, and that if one cannot pioneer in new lands one has to in some thing, so the collegiate bureau appealed to her strongly, as it was practically a new venture. When it was opened there were just three others in the country, the oldest of t.hesel having been operating only about three years, Vhlle acting as superintendent or schools Miss Bennett had seen a great deal of the teacher who was not qualified for her position, but who was in it because she did not know what else to do, and, while she was Interested in the point of view of tne woman who really did not want to loach, she also felt that the country should not be flooded with a lot of incompetent teachers.

The of this property by the company comes as especially good news to Rapid City people who are very much interested in the development of the city. Rapid City boosters who have had the best interests of the city in mind ha for a long time contended that the city is the ideal location for a plant that is a big institution. The cattle industry in Western South Da kota and in Wyoming furnishes all kinds of raw material and the location of a plant in Rapid City means that II can be converted in to meat at the most accessible point to the crowing fields.

The sccope of Miss Bennett's business activities has been far reaching.

She seems to enjoy doing the unusual. At one time she was a mine examiner; then she was county superintendent of schools In the west for about four years. This was an elective office and could only be held for two consecutive terras. During this time she ran a theatre, where she had a summer stock company, which she enjoyed immensely. Reared in a western mining camp, early days were full of adventure.

Stages were then used all the freight was hauled 200 or 300 miles by oxen and mule teams. One of her childish amusements was to look down into a gulch and count the number of oxen it took to draw five or six wagons.

Phone No. A-245 The Deadwood Garage Since basketball has been started in the high school, the seniors, who have been doing a great deal of prac ticing, have come to tflink that there is not a combination in the entire school that can beat them, so they have issued a challenge to all of the rest of the school to pick a five and play thenil The challenge has been acepted and the game will be staged on the Auditorium court on Saturday evening, at which time one of the fastest games that has been staged in the city among the high school students may be expected, for the fellows are sure that all of tue basketball talent of the school does not abide with the senior team, and will be out for the scalps of the boasters on that evening.

An admission charge of 15 cents will be made In order -to meet expenses, and the Auditorium should be crowded on Saturday evening, for the boys are deserving of all the encouragement that can be given them, and those who patronize the first game of the season are going to receive a good return for their money. On Saturday evening, February 1, the high school five has arranged for a game with the five from Rapid City high, and it will be staged on the Auditoriumi court. This will be the first game played this year with on outside team, and the boys should receive a patronage that will fill the big building with spectators. Since they have started to practice our boys have developed wonderfully and now have a splendid five of players, so Rapid City, which has been In the game several weeks prior to the time our fellows started, is going to have one of the hardest kinds of a fight, and is not going to win. Our fellows will play in Gate City a return game on the following Saturday.

Have Itetuined from Service Bert Peterson, son of Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Peterson, was an arrival on the Northwestern yesterday, com ing direct from! New York City, and hurried home last night in order to give his parents a surprise, who still believe that he is in France with the American expeditionary forces.

He had left Deadwood early in the year 1918 with a contingent of selected men for one of the training camps, and after service there for a time was assigned to the coast artillery and soon sent to France with the Seventy-third regiment of that branch of the service. His outfit served in France during the greater part of the war and maintained the excellent reputation which it took from this country with it for efficiency. Young Peterson was detained only a few days in New York, where he received his discharge, and hurried home to the Hills. He had quite an experience In the army, and Is glad that he had served, but is pleased to be again home, and was antlcpiatlng last evening when he boarded the Northwestern for Piedmont, from which place he will go to his home this morning at Nemo, the joyous surprise he had in store for his parents. Holgar Chlrstlanson, who has seen service in France and on the fighting fronts ever since the United States entered the war, writes from New York under date of January 19, tnai he and a part of his contingent has landed safe In the big city, and that when he has attended to some important business matters there, which may detain him for a couple of weeks, he will hurry home, as he is anxious to again be in the Black Hills and Deadwood.

Robert Arnd of Denver, Colorado, wearing two wound stripes and an overseas chevron, arrived In Dead- wood on the Northwestern from the own of Chaniebrlain, where he had oeen visiting with relatives, stopping there on his way to his Colorado home. He left on the Burlington in the afternoon for Denver. He had received a wound in the foot from a fragment of a high explosive shell of which a part also went thru the thigh, during an advance in the battle of the Meuse. He had spent several weeks in the hospital, but soon recovered from the effects of his wounds under the wonderful treatment and the patient care which he recievd there, but his wounds leave him with a slight limp, which will be a reminder to him thru life of the iart which he took to dethrone auto cracy and to make the world a safe place to live in. He had been over the top fourteen times, and the last time over was the one in which he got his, and it was only three days before the armistice was signed.

Dur ing his short stay in the city he was entertained by a number of people and made to feel that the service he had given his country was appreciat ed. Virgil Geddes, former forman ot the Pioneer-Times composing rooms, who had been in training in the ra dio department of the army at Camp 'Meade, Maryland, was another arri val on the Northwestern. He left Deadwood early in last July for one of the colleges of the state, where he received his preliminary training in the service, and was afterward sent to Camp Meade to complete his course of instructions. Like all of the Deadwood boys, he made good. He is glad to be back in the Hills, but Is not at all sorry that be had served.

County Ireasurer Wolfe yesterday was busy paying warrants on the genefal fund of the county, and these obligations to the ar.foun of $6,000 were met and cancelled. There are still a large number of warrants out that will be paid under the call, but It is believed that all will have been That's what you get when you buy our strktly high grade SPECIA-, BLEND.

Miss BesNlc Carter Writing to-a Deadwood friend, Mrs. Nona Carter Hockings of St. Peter, Minn. tells of the death of her Bister, Miss Bessie Carter, at that place, a few days ago from heart disease. Miss Bessie Carter was well known to every resident of olden days In Deadwood, having resided here with her father and other members of her family for many years, leaving Deadwood to take up her residence In the east about twelve years ago.

father, tie late captain Carter was for years connected with the Northwestern Railroad com pany, and was well known and very popular with everyone. Miss Bessie was a woman whom all of her friends and acquaintances admired and held In the highest of esteem, and thete will be many in Deal od who will learn of her death with regret, and who will extend to her surviving relatives their sympathy Interested a Large Crowd Yesterday Jack Herman and Phil Sennette, the two young men who established themselves in the cigar manufacturing business in Deadwood, began operations, and before the evening came had made up several hundreds of excellent smokes, which will find a ready sale in the city. Their work bench has been placed in a conspicuous place in one of the windows of the Blumenthal pool hall in the Carney building on Main and yesterday from the time they started work until they quit for the day they had an interested audience, and at times the sidewalk in front of the place was blocked by the people who were watching them work. Both are expert cigar makers, and the way they had of turning out the smokes was not any trouble at all. The boys are putting an excellent article of goods on the market, or will do as soon as their revenue stamps arrive, which will probably be to Jay and there is little doubt but that the cigars they make will not only be popular but will find a ready market in other towns of the Hills than Deadwood.

Was in the IiusineMt Strong Sheriff Luty was an arrival on the Burlington from Custer, nhere he rad been with Mr. Berwitz for the purpose of identifying and f-uring the auto which had been stolen rarly last summoned from Pitts Company of Deadwood by Pope, the fellow arrested for the theft of the Jacobvon auto aSturday night. They found the auto in the possession of Thomas Phelps, an uncle of Pope, who claim ed that he had paid Pope $325 for it. He made no objection to the officer taking it. Mr.

Herwitz drove the auto back to Deadwood yesterday, coming by way of Rapid City, while Sheriff Lutey returned on the cars. While in Custer Sheriff Luty had a long talk with the sheriff of that county, and the fact developed that an auto had been stolen last summer from Newcastle, the property of a Catholic priest there. It was also learned that this car or one answering its description had been sold by Pope to a farmer living about twenty miles from Custer, and the sheriff made a trip to the ranch of the man who it was claimed was in possession of the Newcastle car, and found it there. He said hat he had bought it of Pope. The young follow has evidently gotten himself in a pretty fix, and stands a very good chance of spending many years in the penittentiary.

He was in the business of stealing autos good and strong, and more missing cars can be traced to his activities H. P. Bowen, one of the well known mining men of the west, who had been spending a couple of weeks in th Tinton distrirt, making examinations of ground and gathering sam pies, left on the Burlington yester day for Denver.

At closing time yesterday the county treasurer had issued 112 1919 licenses to owners of automobiles. The rush has started early in the year, so it Is believed that before the times comes when roads are good and it will again be a joy to motor thru the Hills, that a large number than had been issued last year will have been recorded. The last number issued from the office of the treasurer was 8,555.
