ties for Extending Govt. Aid.
Ram oid S. Walter. in charge OF the
United States geological survey, has
been i'm the Hills for several days
looking over the opportunities offered
for government irrigation enterprises.
ln letter to the STAR editor MIR.
Walter states that he will probably
visit this locality about the middle Of
June to sec what there is about here
that is feasible under the National
irrigation law. He had expected to be
here this week. but was called else
where Regarding the work contcm-
plated by Mr. Waltcrth Pioneer-Times
says:
sNr. Walter expects to establish six
stations in the western part of the
state for the purpose OF determining
the tmo,nt of water available for irri-
CATION purposes. One of these will be
on the Belle Nonrche river. on Red
water creek, one on Speartish creek.
one on Cheyenne river near Hdgemont,
and two others, the locations of which
has not been decided upon.
'After ascertaining the amount of
water available for irrigation, which
would include the rainfall, Mr.. Walter
will turn his attention to the location
of natural reservoir sites, some twelve
or fifteen of which have been petitioned
for by residents of the region. He will
determine whether or not they are
practicable for converting the flood
water for irrigation purposes, with
particular attention to the eXpanse of
tillable land tributary, onto which
water may be carried by bitches from
the proposed reservoirs.
congressman Martin of Deadwood
has received all the petitions that have
been prepared by residents of western
South Dakota asking for the establish
ment of reservoir sites, and these have
been forwarded by him to the secretary
of the interior, by whom they have
been referred to the United States
geological survey for action. The geo.
logical survey has sent Mr.. Walter
into the country to make the prelimi-
nary investigation, and if he finds the
scheme practicable he will be given as
many surveying parties as he desires
to make the surveys for the proposed
reservoirs.
"There is to the credit Of the state,
from the sales of public lands under
the national irrigation bill, over s3O7,
600. one. half of which The secretary OF
the interior is authorized by the pro.
visions of the law to spend in lrri-
CATION schemes in the state. 1t is
hoped that the surveys may be run fo1
reservoirs petitioned for this summer
and that the work for construction
may begin early next year.

SACRED TO THEIR MEMORY.

SACRED TO THEIR MEMORY.
Decoration Day Fittimgly Observed in Hot
Springs-!;usiness Suspended.
Decoration day was most charming
day-one of those clear, balmy spring
days that enthuses one with all nature
and makes him feel that this is a nice
world in which we live. 1t was an
ideal day for decoration day, and was
most loyalty observed in Hot Springs.
Business houses were closed during
the greater part of the day-more
completely we believe than ever before
upon similar occasions. At the ap-
pointed time the parade of veterans
and citizens formed at city hall and
proceeded to the Soldiers Home Gem
etery and Evergreen cemetery, where
the graves of the veteran dead we're
decorated. A small flag marked the
grave of each veteran, and flowers were
strewn upon the mounds that mark
the last resting place of soldier boys.
The ceremonies attendant upon these
exercises were sadly impressive and
participated in by large number of
citizens.
At the city hall in the afternoon
there was an immense crowd, and
many were turned away, being unable
to gain entrance. The hall had been
handsomely and appropriately deco
rated for the event. The band dis
coursed sweet music for the occasion,
which was followed by the memorial
service of the G. A. r., under the di-
rection of Commander Fassett. Capt.
Grippen read the general order and
DIR. Bickmore read Lincoln's Gettys-
burg address. There was excellent
singing by the choir, and an impress
i've recitation by Mrs. DIR. Bickmore.
P:of. Carter's appropriate solo was
greatly enjoyed.
Rev. j. A. Sutton delivered an ad-
dress to packed house, many failing
to find standing room. Rev. Sutton is
fluent speaker, ready story teller
and has story with which to illustrate
every point. He was especially elo.
quent upon this occasion when patriot
ism is at its height, and said MANY
things that delighted his audience.
He took occasion to criticise the Board
OF Managers of the state Soldiers
Home for adopting the resolution
which requires members of the Home
who have no dependent relatives to
turn in to the Home fund all of the
pension they receive above $40, con-
tending that the veterans had earned
that pension and that it was theirs to
do what they please with it, and that
the state was doing no more than is
its duty toward the veterans, regard
less Of the amount of their pensions.
This opinion of course greatly pleased
the veterans affected. Rev. Sutton's
address was profusely appreciative of
the part played by the boys in blue
during the Cos and of the citizenship
OF our country. We regret that space
prevents an extended synopsis, or the
publishing of the speech entire.
Following the address a class of Miss
Helen Osmotherly's in the public
school gave a flag drill that was beauti.
ful and captivating. The girls had
been excellently drilled and went
through the various manouvers to the
great delight of the old veterans and
everybody present.
The singing of "America' by the
vast audience closed the exercises of a
day that had been most sacredly and
beautifully observed in Hot Springs.

OF SENTIMENT -
THE NORTH

Judging from the comments OF
the Northern press upon the re-
cent burning Of the negro White
at Wilmington, Del, it would
seen that there IS a change Of
sentiment regarding lyaching,
1t haslong been a recognized fact
in the South that the negro must
be restrained by strenuous meas
ures. With an immense negro
population, and widely scattered
white communities, where women
and children are left unprotected,
it is felt that stern preventiyes
are justifiable. The North, ike
the South, must learn that social
equality, even though advocated
by Roosevelt, cannot be for a
moment tolerated by self-respect-
ing whites. The negro is 2 USE
ful factor in the world Of indus
try, butmust be keptin his place,
no matter how much advice to
the contrary is administered By
our Northern friends.

THE SUMMER NORMAL.

The attendance at the Fanny

Summer School for Teachers,
being held on the University cam
Ipus, continues to surPass the
most sanguine expectations. The
crowd has outgrown the campus,
and the h%ospitable homes OF
Oxford have been called into
requisitIon. We believe that am
pie provision for all visitors has
been made, although much extra
effort upon the part OF the ad-
ministration has been necessary.
Overlooking audiences are at
tending the lectures given in the
chapel each day at ii 4. NJ, 8
p. M, and s p. m. There are no
mere distinguished speakers in
this country than the men who

les. In this connection we ven
ture to express the fear that the
residents of Oxford and Vicinity
do not fully realize the excellent
attractions now being offered at
the University. No Summer
School or Chautauqua, however
distant or however well adyer-
Used, offers any better sdvanta-
ges for profitable attendance.
