Justice for Railway Postal Clerks.

Justice for Railway Postal Clerks.
A bill for the reclassification of the
railway mail service has been intro
duced in congress which is designed
to remedy the injustice done under
the present act passed in 1876.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Tawney, of Minnesota, and
embodies the ideas and desires Of the
railway postal clerks. 1t is now be-
fore the committee on postoffices and
post roads. 1t divides the railway
postal clerks into ten classes with SAL
aries advancing with each class from
$500 year in the first class to 81 800
in the tenth. II deals in detail with
the duties OF each class and the order
of promotion. Strict civil service
principles control the service through
out under this bill. and the postal
railway clerks earnestly desire its
adoption. They are a class apart,
doing the public great service un-
seen and comparatively unknown by
it. Domestic life is made almost i'm
possible by their duties, and the dan
ger to life and limb, the incident to
all railway service, is ever before
them. Their duties are important,
responsible, arduous and sxacting.
The pay Of $500 for beginners is little
enough and should be increased grad
ually as the bill provides. as years and
experience give increased efficiency.
The Tawney bill appears to be a we'll
considered measure throughout and
should fad favor with congressman.

century. Schools are thus rendered
independent of sndowments and sub
scriptions. The educational institu-
tions of the state rank well with those
Of older states in efficiency and meth
DDS of instruction.
The institution which, by reason of
its efficiency and thorough equip
ment, as well as its attendance, ranks
first in the state, is the Agricultural
college at Brookings. Affiliated with
it is the United States experiment
station, with branch stations at Mel
lette and Highmore And not only
does it rank first in the state, but in
facilities for scientific research and
experimentation it isamong the best
in the whole northwest. In fact, no
school west of Chicago has such COM
plete laboratories for the study of
chemistry, botany, physics, zoology,
pharmacy, soil physics, mechanic arts,
etc, as has this institution. Every
department is equipred with the most
modern appliances, and in every one
is specialist who devotes his entire
time to his particular department.
The college is endowed with 10000
acres of land. None of this has been
sold as yet. Appropriations are made
by the federal government from the
Morrill, and Hatch funds, and the
state legislature also makes appropri-
ations at its biennial meeting.
The general policy Of the college is
to keep in close touch with the COM
mon school system of the state.
With this end in view, classes are ar
ranged to which a young person is as
signed after completing the work of
the common school. Thus the youth
of the state are given an opportunity
to become literally and practically
educated, especially in the various
sciences. But while the work is
largely scientific, it is of such a diver

Farmers don't want to forget that
spring is soon here, when we all
should be prepared to put in our seed
in the best possible manner, and after
this open, dry winter no one would
ever think of doing his seeding with
out an up-to-date shoe drill. Every
farmer can have the very best, latest
improved, up-to-date, light running
and most durable drill now on the
market, and that at very reasonable
price, by giving an order at once to
Geo. G. Rude, the Brookings imple-
ment and machinery man, for
Fountain City Drill. II anyone
should doubt this they should go at
once to Mr.. Rudes machine stand on
Main and Williams streets, Brookings,
look over the sample and if found
satisfactory, leave an order for a ma
chine, take it home, try it and be con-
vinced. There will also be samples at
White and possibly in other surround
ing towns. 36tf

proper care and attention of the large
flock housed in it, and is model in
every respect. Sheep raisers Of the
northwest will do we'll to inspect 1T
before building for themselves. The
dairy and horticultural barns have
undergone extensive repairs which
added much to their convenience.
Many minor additions and repairs
were made in the fall. A new boiler
was added to the steam plant, the
water tank raised and painted. and a
new water main laid. A much larger
gas plant for Illuminating purposes
has been procured, while the exterior
of all the buildings has been treated
to a coat Of paint.
Quite a number Of improvements
are planned for next summer, among
them being the enlargement of the
building occupied by the horticultural
department. The roof will be raised
and the building otherwise remodeled.
But the ever-increasing attendance
Recessitates more accommodations in
the near future, and as the people of
the state become better acquainted
with the needs of its leading institu-
tion Of learning, they will the more
readily lend their aid in securing ap-
propriations to enable their youth to
obtain thorough observation-disclosures

will be fitted up with appliances for

floor contains class rooms, offices and

work offered in this department is in
charge Of Professor A. II. Wheaton,
who was instructor in dairy science
for FIVE years. For the last three or
four years, however, he has given his
time to promoting the dairy interests
Of the state at large and is known all
over the northwest as a capable and
energetic dairyman.
The facilities for the care of stock

Features.

No state in the union possesses bet

means of supporting them than does
South Dakota. The national govern
ment has set aside 2,15O, 4S0 acres of
land for this purpose and the income
derived from the sale and rentals

forbidden by law to sell any of this
land for less than $40 per acre, and

very reasonable terms, and no earnest
youth need 60 through life without An
education because Of its cost.
The attendance during the past two
years has increased rapidly and the
institution is now enjoying the largest
attendance in its history. The 400
mark has already been passed, and
many more will enter before the close
of the present term. Every depart
ment is taxed to its utmost and
classes have TO be subdivided.
