A Miller special says: In speaking

he proposed making a hard effort in
the next congress for an appropriation
of $25,000 or *:io.(.)0U to establish an ex
perimental irrigation station at some
point in the eastern basin in this' state.
He sta'ted that the law already enacted
—though not generally known here—
giving states iu the semi-humid regions
1,000,000 acres of land each thaA would
reclaim ten acres on each quarter sec
tion, the 1,000.Olio acres then to be sold
and the proceeds to go into a general
irrigation fund, lias been taken advant
age of by four states, and he thinks
South Dakota will pass a law at the
next sesion looking to the final acquire
ment of this 1,000,ODD acres of an irri
gation fund. The major said that. at
Britton and other parts of the state
where he had been the farmers were
making contracts for well's and that the
prospects for a larc number of new wells
this fall was encouraging indeed. Ho
stated that in his visits over the state,
in personal observations and talks with
the farmers themselves, he is satisfied
that the people upon the whole are
more prosperous and better o'T than ever
before, and that while there is now and
then a family leaving, there area num
ber moving iu. He_ is a belfbver in
sheep, and conveycd the idea that he
intended to make an investment in that
line before long. Wool, he said, would
never be as low again,"and there would
be a duty plated on wool by the next
congress which woifld bring the price
up again wonderfully.
ON NATURE STUDIES. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES-
Miss Uoinuree of Huron Delivered a tor
ture Hefore the Teacher's Institute.
An attentive audience oT teachers
gathered at the court house Wednes
day e\ening to hear the lecture on
"Nature Studies" by Miss Deniaree of
Huron. After a well rendered selec
tion by the mixed quartet County Sup
erintendent West introduced the
speaker, who entertained her hearers
for an hour by discussing various
methods of interesting pupils in the
intermruiate and grammar grades in
the study of animal and vegetable life
and of rocks and the value of these
studies.
Miss Demaree is a very pleasing
speaker and her treatment of the sub
ject was good, her language
being clear
and well chosen. She showed how an
interest might be awakened among the
pupils concerning the habits and pecu
liarities of animals. First, those seen
at home and tiien of those of which we
may read or tell them about and how
easily they may be taught lo classify
them. She showed how the study of
shell-fish and other water animals may
be made interesting and profitable and
how it would aid the pupil to have the
knowledge received in these grades
when he took up zoology proper in the
higher course. She adviBcd none but
common and simple names to be used
that they might not be burdened with
words and terms that most older peo
ple would not care to remember and
and that thev be taught the spelling of
whatever were used. Lastly she talked
of the way in which she had taken up
the study of rocks and demonstrated by
illustration what might be accomplish
ed along this line and how, even very
young children, might be taught to
distinguish between the different for
mations and even become quite in
telligent along that line. The enter
tainment closed after another selection
by the quartet.
All who were present will be present
again this evening and it will be worth
the while of anyone interested in school
work to go to the court house at eight
o'clock tonight.

Under the care of part of a threshing

forced''. One of the guardians of the
little animal remarked "the worst cf
it is the newspaper will say the
buck-cat has been eradicated." Peo
ple who say "the prohibition law can
not be enforced" should apply to Mr.
Bliss and if necessary borrow his ax.
