DR.. E. III. Jones, the fellow who was
trying to consume all the liquor in
G%annvalley, only a few weeks ago, and
from there went to Iona, has left,
and the Iona Pioneer says that the
general opinion is that he will not
return. Before leaving he said that
if he could raise The money to start a
drug store, he would come back and
probably not if he couldn't.

foundation for his new machine shed
or Main and Second street Monday.
The new building will extend nearly
the full length and width Of the lot
and will be n story high, the de-
mansions being l4xl2 with a - foot
post. Nj. Matson is laying a solid
rock foundation under it and the
building will be very substantial in

The GRAPHIC is not alone in it's
opinion about the p~racticahility of
artesian wells for lake ut government
expense with the idea of changing the
climatic conditions of parts of South
Dakota. Mondays Sioux City Journal
contained a long communication from
E. NJ. Barnes of Highmore-a man who
evidently has made no little study of
the question-and in which he takes
the same exceptions to Col. John H.
Kings scheme that the GRAPHIC did
in the issue Of last week.
A Codington county farmer thinks
that he has discovered a large deposit
of coal on his farm. Recently the
water in his we'll began to have a
peculiar taint and after sinking
several others without lettering it,
he dug the old one deeper, with the
result that he struck a substance
that resembles Hooking coal, that

the deposit is in sufficient quantity to
warrant the expediture OF time and
money to get it out is of course un-
known.
The Oacoma Gazette Leader says
that the roundup wagon of that place
has decided not to 90 into a roundup
this spring. The stockmen there
being pretty we'll satisfied because they
have their stuff pretty close to home,
and the barb wire fences and the ad-
vent OF so many new settlers makes a
roundup unnecessary as well as incon-
yenient. They have rented their tent
and wagon to a real estate dealer, who
will use the outfit for the accomoda-
ton OF the new settlers he is bringing
into the county.
