A large number of returning South
Dakota soldier boys will have to pass
through Sioux City on their journey
home. The Sioux City people propose
to take advantage of this and give the
soldier boys fitting reception. The
Sioux City Journal has the following on
the subject: When South Dakota s
soldier heroes pass through Sioux City
on their way from San Francisco to
their homes to take up once more the
pursuits Of peace, rousing reception
will be in store for them. Sioux City
people feel sense Of part ownership in
the South Oak ota boys, and a moye-
ment is on foot among the business and
professional men to give the warriors
a welcome home that shall manifest the
proper appreciation of their suferings
and sacrifices.

Statements Which call for Correction.


We see it stated in an article in the
Black Hills Mining Review. written by
Prof. Arthur Lake, that quartz, por
phyry, rhyolyte, and phonolite, are the
prevailing eruptive rocks In the Black
Hills"
Now, this statement made in the face
Of the fact, that the highest peak, the
most stupendous upheaval, the largest
and most continuous dykes of the ig-
neous formation in the Black Hills are
of granite makes very singular reading.
Especially as it comes from one who
poses as authority as a geologist. and
whose extensive travel long experience,
and acknowledged scientific attain
ments would seem to indicate that he
ought to know better.

way and we thank him for it, he locat-

Of the fact, that on Demereau noun

Central Hills do the fissure veins fill

Especial Correspondence

Bingham, July with a splendid
site for a reservoir right above the
town and an opportunity to get the
best kind of supply of pure water at
small cost, Bingham is still without
a waterworks system. The town is
practically without fire protection and
the whole place is dependent upon a
few individual springs. small pipe lines
and wells for its supply of drinking
water.
Four years ago the entire upper half
of the place was swept by fire. Since
that disaster the whole section has
been rebuilt, and where, before the fire.
small shackS were in evidence, today
are many buildings of greater value
and size, but it seems the commendable
energy which prompted our citizens 10
rebuild the burned district is not mani
tested in a desire to give the place fire
protection for the future; at any rate,
not to the extent of inaugurating the
enterprise.
Some business men are anxious that
a company should be formed and the
work undertaken at once. They argue
that for a few thousand dollars the
scheme could be carried out and the
people given pure water at very rea-
sOnable cost, and they are fearful that
if il is not done. an outside company
will jump in. turn the trick and estab-
lish rates that will be far in advance
OF what they would be if the system
was put in by the people of the town.
AS Bingham is now steadily growing
in population, with Il prospect ahead
of more than doubling within the next
two or three years. the need for an
adequate supply of water for domestic
and fire purposes becomes more APP
parent daily. and The Herald's CORE
spondent has been asked TO aSitate the
matter for the purpose of arousing the
people to a sense of their danger, as
well as opening their eyes to the gold
en- opportunity now presented to start
an enterprise that could not fail to be
a winner from the start.
Enough stock ought TO be subscribed
in one day to see a waterworks system
established. and by fall it should be N
running order.
Men here who have investigated -he
matter declare that $1,000. or $4,000 at
the outside. would develop the water
supply. build a reservoir and lay a
pipe line through the town. AS the
company's revenue. at a small estimate,
would be $500 a month to commence
with and as one man could attend to
the bus ress without trouble, there is
little or l.. question but that handsome
dividends could be inausurated by the
time winter comes again.
Now is the time to move. Who will
take the initiative?
