Sou.h Oh the Huron line, that is in the
southern haif OF the state. and practi.
caiIy all agree on this subject. A sum-
mary OF these reports is given nere.
Win, Union county, the one I'm tho
southeast cor1Ser, states that LARGO
numbers immigrants are nassins
through that county. Though few are
stopping, the land there being the high
ese III the state. The population is
s,eaoiiy increasing and some new set
uers are reported. Minnehaha county
reports the same, adding that prairie
s~choohers are seen OH the streets of
sioux falls nearly every day. Land
values have stiffened largely this
spring. Lincoln and Clay counties re-
port practically the same. Douglas re-
ports an increase in population and
values steady. Hutchinson .reports an
increase of loo people during the
year, and that land is selling freely ar
hlgner prices, in the eastern part tn
residents, in the western to immigrants
turner says that land values have in
TINS spring from 20 to % per
cent, and that the immigration has
peen considerable. Lyman and Presho.
west OF the Missouri, have regained the
population lost during the dry wears.
and land prices are about the same. In
Brule bands of immigrants are coming
In every week and land is selling at
better prices TO new settlers and to
Fasteners. Those who left a wear and
TWO years ago have nearly all returned.
In McCook the conditions have under
gone no p~erceptible change, but there
Is an Increase in inquiries for land.
The same is true of Jerauld, the latter
having reSained much of it's loss. In
Sanborn values have stiffened up, and
though there has been little immigra-
ton this spring, correspondence shows
that it will be heavy in the fall. In
Miner the population is gradually in
creaSing, the number of children in the
Howard schools being - per cent
greater than last year. Land is not
selling i'll Hughes county, but a few
settlers are coming. Stanley reports
prairie schoOners passing through daily
and many claims being taken up.
Brookings finds many new families and
land higher. Moody has regained all
the foolish people who left for the
South, and has added a large number
of Fasteners, with more coming con-
tinually. Lake is happy over a similar
condition. Hyde finds land values in
creased 20 per cent. Hands population
is gradually increasing, and those who
left have returned. And Beadle is con
tinually receiving inquiries, while
about n hundred settlers have come
into the county this spring. All report
the prospects for a big immigration as
particularly bright.

II will be impossible to conclude be-
fore the first days of next week. The
imperative work before the senate in
order to reach adjournment is to dis
pose of the conference reports on the
ordinary appropriation bills. to vote
upon the bond prohibitory bill and to
consider the proposition to pass the
river and harbor bill over the presi-
dents veto, in case the bill receives
the necessary two-third's vote in the
house to bring Ii to the senate. Some
senators. probably a majority, also feel
that they are under obligations TO
press the filled cheese bill to a nal is
sue. bnt there is q sufficiently strong
minority opposed to this measure to
prevent remaining in session
for the sole purpose of passing it after
the appropriation bills are out of the
way. 1t would, therefore, appear that
the hope of the friends of this bill
must rest upon getting it through be-
fore all the appropriation conference
reports are disposed of.
The closing days of the session in
the house will be mainly devoted to
the consideration of conference reports
but the feature of the week will be
the passage of the river and harbor
bill yer the presidents veto. All the
friends of the bin who are absent have
received peremptory Geographic sum-
mons to be present on Tuesday when
the bill is reported back from the com
mittee. The several votes taken on
it already demonstrate that it has con
siderably more than a two-thirds ma
jority, and its friends express no
doubt of the result. 1t is not probable
that much time will be allowed for de-
bate. The conference reports will be
given the right of way whenever pre-
scented.
