Will Spend Summer in Pierre.
The intervals between sessions of
Congress are never vacations for Mr..
Burke merely a change of the work
connected with his position, and he ex-
poets to be in Pieere, and busy, during
the adjournment, excepting OF course
the time spent at the national conven-
ton, the st. Louis exposition, and busi-
ness trips that may be necessary
Pleased Over immigration
In speaking Of the general condition
and prospects of the country, MIR.
Burke expressed himself as very much
pleased with the kind and number of
settlers that are constantly arriving
here. He noted the number of actual
settlers that We're coming prepared to
stay and make homes, which insures
| the perraanency Of the I'm nrexements
that are being made on the many quar-.
ters of land that have been and are be-
| ing fled upon He predicts that the
opening of the Rosebud will have con.
siderable effect OH this section of the
country. The Elkhorn road is expect
ling to bring $4,000 people into the
Rosebud country and as there are only
about $500 quarters of land to be filed
on, there must necessarily be big
overflow, and it is but natural that this
this oveefow will drift over into the.
adjoining lands of Lyman county which
are equally good and can be committed
for so cents an acre instead Of $4 90.
Pierre's Public Bnilding.
Mr.. Burke announced that he was ad-
yised before leaving Washington that
bids would be adYertized for by June |,
that the notice would call for alterna-
tive bids for the construction of the
building from native granite, kasota
bedford, or other rock, and that work
would probably begin by August i,
giving time at least for the laying of
the foundation this fall. There has
been some delay in the matter owing
to the delay in perfecting the title to
the site, but withall, the public building
will be reality sooner than was tho,t5
a year ago.
Visits Panama in November.
| An mportantmission the Congress-
man has to peform before returning to
the national capital is to join with the
other members of the congressional
lcommittee appointed 4 and visit the
Panama canal preparatory to submit
ting a report to Congress by which that
body will be largely guided in their fu-
tnre canal legislation. Inasmuch as
the United States in acquiring her til.
tie has just handed over the largest
check ever drawn ia the history of the
world $40 0,OOO, 900 the committee no
doubt feels the Importance that will be
attached to its findings. The trip will
be made in November after election
anti will take about a months time.
