Irrigation.


A J. Plowman. formerly judge of
the Eighth judicial circuit of South
Dakota, offers a suggestion that may
be of value to the United States geo.
logical survey in carrying out the
provisions of the national irrigation
law. Judge Plowman's plan is to run
levels from the various streams where
they emerge from the Black Hills and
other mountain ranges and %excavate
canals for carrying the flood waters
of the streams out over the table
lands and fiat regions, instead of al
lowing them to escape.
This would be the means of soaking
the land and replenishing many of
the water sources, and in many in
stances could be utilized to supply
storage reservoirs, whereas at present
the waters of the freshet seasons rush
away at great velocity, swelling the
channels for a time and cutting away
great gorges, and in u few hours are
out of the state without working any
benefit, some of the streams drying
up entirely. There are numerous
water courses in Western South Da-
kota that do not contain any water
except in the spring of the year or
after heavy transforms, owing to the
waste system that now prevails.

The New Cruiser.

The fact that a new United States
cruiser will be launched before very
long which will bear the name South
Dakota" causing a discussion as to
what young lady Gov. Herreid will
choose to christen the boat.
Some newspaper has offered the
suggestion that the governor should
seek the descendant of the first white
child born within the borders of the
state and confer upon, her the honor
of christening the new cruiser.
This suggestion has. set up the
claim of q Black Hills girl to the hon
or in the person of Miss Mary Ec-
cles of Deadwood, who is the daught-
er of Mrs. j. C. Eccles, who was the
daughter of Judge and Mrs. II. C..
Ash of Sturgis-their daughter Lizzie,
now Mrs. Eccles, laying claim to be-
ing the first white child born in the
Territory of Dakota.
Hard Luck.
Hard luck has followed Joseph
Clouse, a we'll to do farmer near Mil
Ter for the last five years. First he
lay deathly sick for many weeks. Just
as he recovered his wife sickened and
died. Then a daughters death fol-
lowed, to be succeeded in a few weeks
by the death of another girl. A third
daughter fingered many months be-
tween life and death, but recovered.
Then came a hail storm and beat out
his crops and the lightning killed
some of his stock. Now his 5-year-
old girl in handling a gun that her
father had left rear by, accidentally
DISCHARGED the weanOn and was in
stantly killed.
Taken Up.
State Treasurer Collins has taken
up the last of the emergency war
rants issued3a year ago, the amount
being $150,0OO, all of which was held
by Deadwood and Lead City banks.
This clears up all such warrants of
previous issue, but a new issue will
be made in a few days to care for the
emergency appropriation of the late
Legislative session.
