STRIKE HOLDS UP CATTLE.
Black Hills Ranchmen Feel Effects of
Delay in Shipments.

Cattlemen in the Black Hills are
looking for news toward the deter
mination Of the packer strike in the
East. The shipping season for all
Black Hills ranges is now on, but all
the principal cattle owners have been
informed by Eastern buyers to hold
shipments until further notice. Har-
ris Franklin and Henry Frawley OF
Deadwood have several carloads OF
fat cattle ready to ship, and it means
a loss of a good many thousands of
dollars to them and to the hundreds
Of other shippers to hold up their
shipments. The range has been un-
usually nice this year for early ship
ments. The demand locally for fat
beeves has been unusually heavy,
most all of the meat eaten in the Hills
having come from the local meat men.

Water Troubles at Sioux Falls to Be
Overcome.
It is believed in some quarters that
the Sioux Falls city council will soon
take definite action in the proposition
OF leasing OF selling the municipal wa
terworks system to a company form
ed Of Sioux Falls business men.
Ever since Judge Garland decided
that the authorities of Sioux Falls
could not complete and operate the
municipal waterworks system, which
is now almost completed, on the
ground that the bonds issued for the
purpose carry the Indebtedness Of the
city beyond the constitutional limit,
there has been talk of a company com
posed of Sioux Falls business men be-
ing organized to complete the system,
place it in operation and conduct it as
a private corporation, as was done in
Sioux City under similar conditions.
This plan, in the opinion of attorneys,
Is not prohibited by the permanent
injunction granted by Judge Garland.

TO IRRlGATE 10000 ACRES.
Rapid City Business Men Would Use
Box Elder Waters.

The chamber of commerce of Rapid
City has under way a movement to
get 10000 or 5000 acres Of land un-
der irrigation along Box Elder creek.
The plan is to build a large reservoir
on Box Elder and catch water from
that creek, and also dig a ditch from
Rapid creek, which parallels Box Ed
der, thus having a continual supply.
The matter has been taken up with
the government and it is likely that
an appropriation will be made for this
extension OF the Black Hills i~rrigating
system. 1t is believed that the ex-
pense will not exceed SO per acre
Several meetings have been held by
business men of Radid City at which
farmers and ranchers from Box Elder
creek have been present.
