CHAMBERLAIN. S. D., June 18.-(Spe-
cial. force of men is completing the last
of a total Of seven huge water reservoirs
on the stock trail between here and the
head of Bad river. Heretofore stockmen
when driving cattle here for shipment from
this market have been greatly incon-
venienced by the scarcity of water along the
lengthy drive between the ranges and this
city. The reservoirs will receive their sup
| plies of water from showers during the
summer and will furnish stockmen with an
ample supply of water for their stock when
driving them here for shipment. For some
time the Elkhorn Railroad company has
maintained a system of reservoirs in the
cattle country lying north and northwest of
the Black Hills and stockmen have greatly
appreciated the convenience. Stockmen in
the region west of here will be greatly ac-
commodated by the reservoirs.
