Great Value of Irrigation to South
Dakota Arid Lands.

Dakota Arid Lands.
HOT SPRINGS, s. D., Feb 7.-(Spe-
ciaL)-Citizens of Fall River county hope
that the legislature will consider favor
bly, the bill introduced by Senator John
L. Burke and Represen tative E. S. KEEL
on the public school lands in Fall River
county. There are $4,000 acres of school
lands in this county which are avail
able for grazing and agricultural pur-
poses, of this number not more than
$4,000 are bringing in any income, that
average price of cents per acre, the
income therefrom being $3.50 per an
mum. This $4,000 acres comprises the
pick of the school lands of this county
and all that can be rentele under pres
ent conditions, the remainder of the
school lands being dry and for that rea-
son, useless. If water for stock only
could be gotten on the other lands, it
could all be leased for the same price.
If the $1,000 acres of useless school
lands now In the county could be leased
for the same price as the small number
of acres are the income to the school
fund would be increased by So, $50; if
poses could be found, the increase of
the school revenue would be about Sc
an acre, and if only one-third of the
school lands can be put In such shape
that they can be irrigated, the school
fund will be Increased by from $500, 900 to
the possibilities are worth the expendi-
ture of such a small sum.
The price of irrigated land is rising.
Plummer Davis who owns three-acre
plot of irrigated land on the edge of
Hot Springs was last week offered ST.
900 for it, but he refused to sell, plac-
ing the price at 100, or $500 per acre.
