South Dakota Irrigation.

The subject of irrigation enterprises in
South Dakota is attracting considerable
attention just now in and out ofcongress,
says q Washington dispatch Of the 18th
inst. Today Representative Burke and
Martin, accompanied Col. John H. King,
Of South Dakota, to the geological sur
vey bureau, and general discussion was
had with the director on the subject Of
putting down artesian wells between the
Jim river and Missouri for the purpose
of supplying additional water to the lake
beds in that part of the state. 1t is
claimed that that portion of the state
grows regularly good cfops, but that the
hot winds of the middle summer often
burn and destroy the crops. 1t is be-
lieved that the creation of large areas Of
water surface will increase the humidity
of that section, temper the hot winds,
and make the raising of cereal crops
much more certain.
Mr.. Martin presented the subject Of
artesian wells and reservoir construction
west of the Missouri river in aid of na-
tional irrigation. Two wells have been
ordered in that part of the state, one at
Buffalo Gap, in Custer county, and one
in Smithville, on the Cheyenne river.
There are also numerous reservoir pro-
jects west Of the Missouri river, where
large tracts of land, both public and pri-
vate, can be reclaimed. These are being
urged by the South Dakota representa-
tives upon the attention of the geologi-
cal survey. Dr. Newell, the chief of the
survey, has stated that the surveying
force will be placed in South Dakota
early in the summer to Investigate the
various enterprises proposed. There is
already $3O7, 900 to the credit Of the
South Dakota irrigation fund under the
provisions of the national irrigation act,
and it is thought that some important
public works of this character may soon
be inaugurated in the state.

A criticism of the code commission has
recently appeared in some of the papers
Of the state because of the allegation that
they had changed the law pertaining to
the drawing of the salaries of supreme
and circuit judges 80 that instead of
drawing such salaries monthly they can
only draw them quarterly, says recent
Pierre special. AS matter of fact the
old territorial law provided for the pay
ment of such salaries quarterly but the
practice was established by usage OF
drawing them monthly without warrant
of law and the commission left the law
as they found it. 1t will thus be seen
that the commission is not responsible Q
for the criticism which is without foun-
dation in fact.
