GAINED SLIPS PER HEAD.
Herd Of Cattle Gained 351 Pounds
Each During the Summer.

Herd OF oHtIIe 'N1neu hcI ouhS
Each During the Summer.
Last spring George E. McEathron,
who owns a large herd Of Hereford cat
tie on his ranch north of Huron,
weighed seventy-five head and turned
them out to fatten on the native grass
es. A few days since he rounded up
these same cattle and weighed them
into the corral. To his establishment,
they had gained on an average of 351
pounds each, or a total of 26, 1926 for the
s~eventy-fve head. At present prices,
the gain in cash would amount to $12.2S
per head which, Mr.. McEathron claims,
is a pretty fair increase, and as good
as stock in an oil well. Cattle owhed
by him and allowed free range have
lone equally well the past season. and
this is true in almost every instance in
South Dakota, where native grasses
are not only abundsnt but exceptional
ly nutritious and fat-producing.
Cattle shipments from Huron are be-
coming very heavy, from Saturday un-
til Monday morning something like $50
car loads Of cattle passing Huron for
Eastern markets. They came from the
north and west, and were destined for
Sioux City, Omaha and Chicago.

A NEW TOWN.

in Thirty la "

in Th1rty DHSS!
LYMAN county is trying to revive the
o,den boom days of South Dakota
when towns were built in a day. "A
marty Of enterprising ranchmen anu
armer in the southern part OF the
county got together about a month &
and res olved to build a town, as tney
were too far from one at the time. Ac-
cCrdingly, they secured a corner OF lana
from one of their number n went 10
work to build. The result Is that III
thirty DAYS they had established a re-
srectable town, named it Condor, and
are hot after the postal department TO
get a rcstoffice. They already have a
bank, a newspaper, a lawyer, a DOCTOR,
a general store and a blacksmith shop.
The town is quilt on the survey of the
Nebraska n Dakota railroad, ana II Is
expected to be the best town on the
line between Fairfax and Oacoma.
The question Of moisture has been
permanently settled by the residents or
LYMAN county. There has been ten
thousand dams built and filed on the
range to The west of Oacoma. The ag-
ereeate superficial area of these reser-
yoirs is more than half that or Lake
Michigan. The result this fall has been
that We have had rainy weather, or al
most identical with that of the great
lake region. There is enough water IN
these dams to furnish the stock on the
range with water for three years, II
there is not another rain during that
time. South Dakota is fast getting in
the front rank as a farming as well as
a stock country.

Enough Cash to Pay Her Debts.
The state treasurer has issued his an-
nual report for the fiscal ear ending
July l. 1901. The principal matter Of
interest in it to the people Of h state
generally, is the summary of the finan-
cial condition of the state. The total
indebtedness is shown to be 1868, 600.
This is composed of 1870, 800 of coupon
bonds; $242, 500 of registered bonds; ana
$25O,O0 of eve1ue warrants. The total
cash on hand in the treasury for all
purposes at that date was $764, $685.
leaving a net debt Of less than 500, 900.
The highest interest being paid by the
state Is 4 Ia per cent on some Of the
bonds, which come down as a leftover
ceht from the old territory, the most Of
the bonded debt bearing 8 1-2 or 4 per
cent. The only bonds which become
cue at an early date are $35, 800 OF Mad
ison normal school bonds, which will be
u on the 1st OF May next and there
is in the sinking fund at the present
time over $61, 600 to meet this payment.
No other bonds become due before 1903.
but as sufficient funds accumulate in
the treasury, the policy of the present
treasurer has been to secure the release
outstanding securities, and the same
policy will, no doubt, be secured in the
as in the past.
