and is Ready for Gbvernor's
Signature.

Pierre. Feb. 2l.-LawSOn did not
call for reconsideration of the vote on
the valued policy bill yesterday in
accordance with the notice given on
Thursday and the bill has gone to
the governor for his signature. The
anti-compact bill, which passed the
house yesterday by a vote of IS to G
was severely criticized by the instr
ance men, who allege that it is a
piece of class legislation operating in
favor of the mutual companies.
They declare it will be imperative if
enacted, and that they will not op-
pose it strenuously.
The senate yesterday passed a Joint
resolution calling for a constitutions
al amendment withdrawing so per
cent of the public lands from sale,
placing the balance on a fifty year
lease and providing for the loaning
of school funds on state, county,
municipal and township school war;
rants and other evidences Of the
states indebtedness.
This is claimed to be the most i'm
portant measure that is to be con-
sidered this session, for it effects the
safe investment of the fund now
amounting to nearly 49, 900, 900. 1t
was amended before passage by cut
ting out the provision for loaning
on securities of other sta ties.
The house joint resolution for mem
oralizing congress to remove the duty
on lumber passed almost unanimous
Ily in the senate and places South
Dakota on record in favor of the
western idea.
.Abel's bill prohibiting pools, trusts
and combinations passed. The fol
lowing senate bills also were passed /:
One adopting the anemone as the
state flower, repeating obsolete sec
lions Of the code requiring bonds of
the repositories Of county funds re-
lating to the method Of adopting
children appropriating SO, 200 for four
cottages for the Soldiers Home.
The bill providing for the collec-
tion Of taxes in cities Of the first
class failed to pass by the requisite
%two-thirds vote and reconsideration
was ordered for Monday afternoon.
The bill providing for the incorpor-
alton Of telephone companies has
called a number Of the representa-
tives Of the companies here to look

OF the judges, which gave first place
to Alfred Wenz and second place to
Gustavus Loevlnger. 1t was the
signal for the sophomores to turn
loose their yells for their class. So
far as points were concerned Loeyin-
ger and Wenz were tied for first
place, each receiving 10. The per-
centage marks Of the six jugdes we're
then taken as the basis for deter
mining the result and Wenz stood 500
to $50 for Loevinger.
The judges on delivery were G. N.

Thibadeau and F. A. Morris, of Red
field.
MI. Wenz will without doubt faith
fully represent Dakota University at
the contest, and in the time inter!
venipg between now and the contest
he will put forth every effort to per-
feet himself for the ordeal. and we
are confident he will bring a victory
home to this institution. 8

EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION
President Graham, Of the University
Has Arranged for a Big
Gathering Here in May.

For the past month or more Presi-
dent Graham. Of Dakota University,
has been working on the plan Of
holding an immense educational
gathering in Mitchell and at this time
he says he is able to announce that
the arrangements are practically COM
pleted. The dates set for the gather
ing are May II, 10, IA. The conven-
tion is held for the purpose OF bring
ing the Methodist ministers and the
laymen Of the church into closer re-
lations with the University.
DR.. Graham stated that he had
been able to secure the promise Of two
Of the leading men Of the Methodist
church Of the country that they will
be present. during the three days and
conduct the convention. One is Bish-
OPP q. G. McCabe, of Chicago, who is
known the country over as the "sing-
ing chaplain" and the other is Rev.
w. F. Mcdowell, of New York, sec
rotary Of the board Of education of
the Methodist church. Both gentle
men are closely related to the edu-
cational features Of the church's work
and their presence in Mitchell will
be a great help in bringing out the
ministers and laymen to the conven-
ton. DR.. Graham stated that it
would be a delegate convention Of the
Dakota conference of the Methodist
church, and each charge will be rep
resented by the minister and one
layman. He thinks that the conven-
ton will be composed of about 300
men and women. not counting the
number Of visitors who will likely
attend.
1t will be a notable gathering with
out doubt and will be one Of the first
Of the kind ever held in the state
1t will be necessary to enlist the SYM
pathy and aid of the people Of the
city to take care of the guests while
they are here and for a gathering Of
this magnitude and Importance the
home of every citizen should be
thrown open for the entertainment
the guests.

GRAVITY PRESSURE HIGHER
New Improvement at Water Works
Gives Higher Pressure Dur
ing Pumping Hours.

City Engineer Nelson has been
working on an improvement at the
water works which will increase the
gravity pressure and be Of consider
able benefit to the consumers OF
water. Several months ago the city
council authorized the Improvement
to be made, after Mr.. Nelson had
shown and demonstrated by a blue
print of the system just what he
could do at an expense not very
large. Heretofore the gravity pres
sure has been on a level with the
reservoir, but with the addition Of
the extension of the half circle pine
it is raised twenty-five feet higher
than the reservoir and increases the
pressure about II pounds. It is o
structed Of a semi-circle pipe that
stands in the pump house and the
water is pumped from the wells
through this pipe into the reservoir.
Heretofore the water was pumped
direct from the wells into the reser-
yoir, and will be- SO done in the
future except when it is taken
around the circle avenue. The n
gineer can pump through this circu-
lar pipe and thus create a heavy pres
sure to all parts of the city and will
conduct water to the second floor Of
practically any building in the city.
He will pump from two to three
hours of the day through the circu-
lar pipe and the rest Of the time
through the straight pipe to the res
ervoir. Not the entire amount OF
water that passes through the circu-.
lar pipe will 90 into the city mains.
but jast enough for the use OF the
people, and the balance Will 20 into
the reservoir. 1t will be a decided
improvement and there need be hut
little, if any, shortage of water down
town.
MI. Nelson attached a new whistle
at the waterworks today and gave it
a blast at noon. 1t was made after a
pattern drawn by himself and works
very well indeed. It is a gong
whistle and lies fiat on the roof in
stead OF standing straight. It weighs
about 120 pounds, has a sound like a
steamboat and cost the city a little
less than $40. 1t is so constructed
that with a low pressure of steam the
whistle a be heard distinctly in all
parts of the city. !, {.

considerable expense in buying the

little mountain village situated on a
charming plateau some six miles or more
from Intervale and surrounded by per
feet setting OF mountain upon mountain.
Each part Of the mountain district of
New Hampshire has it's own peculiar
charm and Jackson differs from some
other places I'm that IL lies. as IL were. quite
within the embrace Of the mountains
and the wild. the romantic and the beau
tiful are united on every side.
Besides the grandeur and beauty Of the
mountains Jackson abounds with mad
cap streams and cascades. now flowing
peacefully along through the valley. then
over rocks and finally making a drop Of
so feet into deep still pond.
Jackson Falls. brawlIng mountain
stream, rushes down through the very
centre OF the village. over rocks and
stones making a most beautiful picture.
while the sound OF the rushing waters
can he heard some distance away and,
like the surf of the ocean. lulls one TO
rest with it's musical cadences.
Just at the west OF Jackson rise the
Iron Mountain range. Giants Stairs and
Mount Resolution. To the extreme north
and northwest. Mount Washington and

tain side. about 500 feet above the valley
Of Jackson. the most magnificent view
II spread before the vision. Far below
lies the village. with the hotels looking
like tiny dwellings on the landscape.
while on every side rise higher and higher
the various mountain ranges with the
wooded hills and valleys between. always
presenting n different aspect 20 the he
