Rains Help Winter wheat.

New York, May So.-Reports to R. G.
Dun & CO. from the winter wheat belt
state that the winter wheat crop has
been greatly benefited by, the: recent
rains in nearly ali sections of the west.
The stand is generally quite good,
though the grain is backward and the
production in some states will I'M
do%ubtedIy be curtailed in consequence
OF the recent severe drought and hot
winds. Still, conditions are now quite
satisfactory.

Light Turned On.

A great deal of misunderstood
school law was %untangled in the dis
cussions at the recent state conven-
ton of county superintendent and
school professors in this city. Among
the matters of law commonly mis-
understood that We're corrected was
that in relation to boards of directors
purchasing school supplies and school
furniture. 1t has been the general
understanding that school officers
We're authorized to purchase up to the
limit of $40, but the discussions dis
closed the fact that. they are not
authorized to lay out a single dollar
for such purposes without a vote of
the district.
One of the most seriously misunder-
stood school laws on the statutes is
hal regulating the change of bound-
airy lines of school districts. The law
on this subject has always been in
definite, one of Its provisions being
that a vote on such change may be
ordered upon the presentation of a
petition signed by ten legal voters in
the districts. The practice has been
to order these elections at the re-
quest of only ten legal voters in all
the districts, while the convention
discovered that ten signers from every
interested district are required.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS
Annual Roundup.

% E
Fort Pierre was in annual excite
ment over the gathering of booted
and spurred range riders who were in
for the annual spring roundup for
branding the spring crop of calves,
and locating the herds of different
owners on some particular range.
What gives it more than usual inn
portance is that this is probably the
last range roundup of eastern Stanley
county, the new settler and fences
being the doom of the range riders
work in that section.
Last year ended the work for east
TT Lyman county, the wagons not
working the eastern part of that coun-
ty :his spring, and Stanley will be
in the same shape by next year. The
creamery and cheese factory, with
reports of crop acreage and condition
of wheat and corn now fills the papers
of the older settled portion of the
range, instead of the old matters of
range feed, condition of stock, and
roundup progress.
It is the passing of the old days
and the coming of the new to West
ern South Dakota, and while milking
cows and following the pillow is not so
picturesque nor SO exciting as the old
free life of the range, the time has
come for the change, and the milch
cow and pillow horse are to take the
place of the steer and broncho.
