FIGHT TO NAME NEW DAKOTA
TOWN.
Settlers On Portion of Rosebud Lands

Settlers On Portion of Rosebud Lands
In South Dakota In Squabbie.
A lively fight over one of the prin-
cipal towns on the Rosebud Indian
lands in South Dakota is going on in
the postotice department.
Samuel Herrick, Washington land
lawyer, went out to the opening OF the
lands and registered for Spanish
American soldier employed here in the
treasury department.
He was very lucky in drawing first
card from Commissioners Richards
box
This gave Herrick a great prestige
and his friends decided to name the
town after him. Others protested
against naming it after newcomer
and wanted to honor Frank Willet, an
old pioneer.
Then the Herrick people conceived
| the idea of switching from Sam Her
Trick to Gov. Herrick of Ohio and made
their play accordingly.
Although the land Office recognized
them. the postoffice department will
mot and thus far the Willett people are
lahead.

building of its kind in the state or the
surrounding states. The terms an

time past answering letters of inquiry
and filing applications for rooms. The
main college hall has also received
extensive improvements and changes.

doubled, a fine new reading room has
been fitted up, several new classrooms

EXPERIMENTS IN DRAINAGE.
Novel Methods Of Getting Rid Of Sur
plus Water Being Tried.


plus Water Being Tried.
L. Is. solomon is trying novel ex
pertinent for the drainage of several
acres of low land on his farm in Fair
view township, near Vermillion. and
if successful, will give to that section
of the state something new in the
way of getting rid Of surplus water
on farms. He has had tubular well
put down ON the lowest spot on his
land. and by piping it Just to the top
of the fround believes he can cause
the water to sink to the sand bed q
hundred feet below and be carried on
In the underground flow.
The idea, so far as the writer can
learn, is original with Mr.. Solomon,
and is attracting widespread atten-
ton. IL he can make it win, everlast-
ing praise viii be his due, as there
are thousands of acres on the blum
that are useless each year simply be-
cause no plan has been devised to re-
lieve the low land of pools OF water
that come with the early spring rains
and remain all summer. OF course,
| in cases of overflows from the Mis-
souri,. on the bottoms, drain pipes OF
this sort would be of little value. but
they will work just as well there
when spring rains are the only thing
to contend with.
Mr.. Solomon will in a few days be
| able to determine whether or not Ae
has discovered relief from sluggish
pools of an all seasons standing BY
going to the expense Of putting down
a tubular well.
Down on the Missouri river bottoms
the farmers have dug large drain
age ditch, but this only benefits g
flew, and the work Of the civil engi
Ineers now in progress to obvlate
water difficulties is being watched
with interest.
