ing was addressed by Gen. W 81. n
Beadls of Yankton. Although the faot
of his coming was not known lonp
enough to give sufficient notice, a good
audience listened to the excellent ad.
dress of the speaker. The general took
up the part of the subject not yet hand.
led by other speakers, and showed con.
~clusiyely tbs immense advantage to
every citizen in dollar and cents OF the
admission Of south Dakota under the
Sioux Falls constitution. He showed

Vermillion Plain Talk: Yankton now
boasts an artesian well of fifteen hun
dred gallons discharging capacity per
minute and two hundred pounds n.y.
draniie pressure per square inch of
surface, which makes it one of the
largest end most powerful in the country.
1t Is confidently believed that this
Dakota wonder could generate sufficient
power to run the mammoth Queen Bee
lHouHing mill Of Sioux Balls throughout
!gthe entirs year. The well is 600 feet deep,
has . Six inch bore and could be made
to force the water more than a hundred
feet into the air it ia believed. Richey
y Kari, of Yankton were the contrae.
tors and they are to be congratulated on
the successful consummatfon of their
project. The contract price was $2.675.
which it is said hardly brings the con.
tractors out even. Ii Vermillion has any
of the public enterprise left in its veins
that sgitated and brought into existence
the city hall luxury we do moi understand
how it manages to smother itself into
quiescenee when a real necessity may be
had for about one forth the COST of the
hall.

were nosing around on the west side of
town thls week. We pumped them, and
Agent Power and Section Boss Riley
and other railroad employees, but coulG
get nething out of them, They gave
out the impression that they are simply
surveying to get the amount of overflow
which the mill dam will make, but vi
don't believe any such thing. 1t is re
ported that engineers are run
ming a line from Scotland cas-
to Oentreville, and are within a few mile
OF town OF the present writing: 1t seem
almost certain that the company vii
some day build q road directly west fror
Centreville up the river through Hutch

up in the papers and from conversation
with parties who ought to have goo

strained to believe that the time is nc
