Congressman Lucas Wants the Gov

WASHINGTON. Sept. )2.-Representa-
tive Lucas Of South Dakota has a
scheme in process of incubation which,
If successfully carried out, will be of
great benefit to the residents of the
Black Hills districts. Heretofore but
little efforts have been made to encour-
age agricultural pursuits in that section,
owing to continual dry weather during
the season when crops mature. The
agricultural department, however. have
made experiments, and it has been sat-
isfactorily demonstrated that the soil.
when properly irrigated, will produce
the very best kind of cereals. Mr..
Lucas will, therefore, ask for an appro-
priation at an early day to provide for
irrigation, and thousands of acres of
unused lands may be made very val
liable.
