bride wore her travelling costume OF royal
| blue cloth, the coat worn over an embrod-
cred blouse of blue and white, and a blue
hat to correspond. At the corsage was
fastened an enormous cluster of purple vio-

An interesting feature of the evening
was the announcement of Miss Josephine

guests. Miss Christian who is the next
older sister to the bride and her fiance
shared in the congratulations of the even
ing.
Among the out-of-town guests were Mr..

ON ARID LANDS OF
SOUTH DAKOTA
Wesley Stuart Says They Are
Dry, But Irrigation Is
What Is Needed.
SAHARA is EVEN FERTILE
Black Hills Man Deprecates Statement,
That the Western Fart of the State
Does Need Irrigation and
Wants Nationa! Aid.

Deadwood, S. D., June 25.-F. NJ. Barnes
of Highmore. s. D., who recently declared
In a public statement that South Dakota
was not an arid or semi-arid state, has
caused Wesley A. Stuart of Sturgis, at.
torney and specialist on irriga tion to is
sue published reply. Though laudable
to be patriotic Mr. Stuart says, '"tis far
better to recognize true conditions" The
word arid he defines as dry, wanting
In moisture, and he asks: rs there nc
land in South Dakota dry or wanting in
moisture?'
Continuing Mr.. Stuart says there are
more than 100000 acres of rich land be-
tween the Black Hills and Pierre wanting
In moisture, upon which furrow has
never been turned, ana where the dry,
virgin surface will remain unbroken te
the end Of time unless artificially watered.
This area is practically riverless and the
rainfall inadequate for tillage He says
similar areas have been reclaimed In
southern Texas six years ago vast bodies
of land were acquired al so cents an acre.
Artesian wells were sunk, and much OF
that land is today netting it's owners more
than $50 an acre annually. Last year
more than 100000 acres Of what was dry
Texas land, by means of irrigation with
artesian wells and pumping plants yielded
2,oOO,0OO bags of rice, increasing the rev.
enue of that state $S,0O0,0O0.
Sahara Even Is Productive.
Even the Sahara desert south of Algiers,
Mr.. Stuart asserts, has for more than 100
years been fruitful by the means Of ar
tesian wells alone. He further cites
numerous other instances of similar ma
ture In the arid countries.
Mr.. Barnes is criticised for combating
the efforts Of Colonel King to secure rec
ognition of South Dakota under the ma
tional irrigation law. He says Colonel
King may be an enthusiast, but declares
nothing great was ever achieved without
enthusiasm Going to Florida, he says,
tobacco is raised there by irrigation, not
withstanding that the rainfall is sixty
inches, in order that the crop may re-
ceive moisture at the proper time. Ac-
cording to common information, he says,
potatoes alone yield $50 to 300 bushels to
the acre when irrigated and other crops
Increase correspondingly. The federal
government owns more than GOO, 600, 900
acres of public land, nearly all west of
the Tooth meridian, of which one-sixth
may he reclaimed by irrigation. Allow
Ing twenty acres to the family, this means
homes for 100000 families, increasing the
agricultural population 25,OOOO0O

HAS PLENTY or MOISTURE.
7eadle County Crop Prospects Are Still
noseate.

Huron, S. D., June 25-Beadle coun-
ty, and in fact this portion of the
James River Valley, has received cop
lous rains during the past week. A
wind and hail storm passed over the
central part of the county on Thurs
day, doing small injury to grain and
corn, but garden stuff vines, etc, We're
badly cut. In localities where the
heaviest hail fell, crops are fast re-
covering, and no serious damage will
result. The ground is thoroughly sat
urated and growth has bet.l rapid dur
ing the week. A few was-n days was
specially helpful to corn; that crop is
doing fairly well, and generally fields
are free from weeds; cutworms have
ceased work in most places. Indica-
ttions point to barley and oats and rye
harvest a little later than last sea-
son. these grains are coming on rapid
ly since the rains, and the outlook is
very promising. Potatoes are being
disturbed by bugs but farmers are Gull
tivating the crop for the last time and
report good prospects. Some fields of
speltz are not as promising as hoped
for, but the crop generally looks good.
A considerable acreage of new land will
be broken within the next two weeks,
as the ground is in fine condition for
that work.

Huron, S. D., June 25.-The annual
meeting Of the South Dakota Sheer
Breeders and Wool Growers associa.
ton closed here Tuesday night. The
attendance, although not as large as a,
some former gatherings, was represen.
tative Of the sheep industry Of the
state, and the papers read and topics
discussed will prove helpful to those
present and will tend to stimulate thu
efforts Of the organization in bringing
about the best results from South Da
kota focks. President Squirting OF
Brookings presided. Among interest.
ing topics discussed was that of dis.
eases and parasites my Professor e. L.
Moore of Brookings. w. w. Bell talked
of rape hay, and Frank Sherwin and
Professor Skinner spoke Of feeding and
marketing sheep. Sheep husbandry
was discussed by J. w. Wilson, direct.
or Of the experimental station al
Bookings, following with the subject
Of fodder was given much attention
Other subjects were discussed with
spirit and interest, and much valuable
information and profitable suggestions
were brought out.
Colonel John H. King of Huron gave
the address Of welcome, to which Hon
M. f. Greeley of Aberdeen responded;

The new officers of the association
are: Frank Sherwin of Brookings,

ARE SELLING TOO HIGH.
Expect Feeders to Sell Lower for the
Late Summer and Fall Trade.

Expect Feeders to Sell Lower for the
Late Summer and Fall Trade.
Live Stock Worlds In drawing conclu-
lions on the cattle situahon, as suggest
I'd by the volume OF feeder trade at pres
ent, 1t should not be forgotten that this is
\ between-season period. The late spring
and early summer months always furnish
4 lighter demand for stock cattle than
ate summer and fall months. However,
the draft on the market for stockers and
feeders has, for some time, been smaller
than usual at this season Of the year. One
Of two causes has brought about this con-
3ition; perhaps both have been more or
less Influenced. viz: Prices for stock cat
lie have been entirely out Of proportion
10 the fat cattle market. and there Is the
ssuggesttble possibility that supplies Of
young cattle available for feeding pur-
poses are running low. But this is too
big country to place much confidence
n the latter proposition. Young cattle
may be scarce In some localities, but over
n the next neighborhood you are apt to
and that there are quite number of
rearlinga browsing around In the brush.
rhe most reasonable conclusion Is that
price and recent experience with feeding
operations have been responsible for q
disposition to let cattle alone,
Or late thoro has been tendency IN
The market to q wider range Ia prices be-

BELLE FOURCHE MAN
SUDDENLY INSANE.
Attorney S. II. Neal in Jail
Awaiting Action Of the
Board of Insanity.
NEARLY STARVED HIMSELF
Man Started on Wild Cross Country
Walk and Wandered Around Until
Worn Out-Domestic Trouble
Said to Be the Cause.

Belle Fourche. S. D., June 2a-At-
torney S. H Neal, who has been in
Belle Fourche several years, is in Jail,
awaiting the action Of the Butte coun-
ty insanity board His trouble is
thoughttto be due to domestic troubles
of long standing.
A week ago yesterday he started for
the Bear Lodge mountains in Wyoming,
fifty-five miles, the first twenty miles
of which is covered by railroad, as far
as Aladdin. He tried to get a ride by
stage to Sundance, but declaring the
fare was too high left his valise with
the driver and started afoot. He left
the road a mile from Aladdin and was
seen striking across the country. Two
days later he was found wandering in
the vicinity of Belle Fourche.
He appeared at several houses and
said the soldiers were after him. He
was invited to meals at several places,
but would take alarm while the meals
were being prepared, and when final
ly taken into custody was nearly fam
ished. He had waded and hidden in
the river to avoid capture. 1t was
unusually warm when he started from
Aladdin on foot, and he may have been
overcome by the heat.
