river and heading below the town OF
Belle Fourche. The lands to be irri-
gated lie on both sides of the river
and extend east to Willow creek.
The acreage irrisable on the north
side is approximately $4,000, of which
100000 is public land aud $4,000 in pri-
vate ownership; that on the south
side is about 10000 acres, of which all
except 1000 acres is private land.
The length of the main supply canal
will be G.45 miles. 1t will have bot
tom width of 40 feet and capacity of
1855 section feet. A lateral from this
canal will reclaim about 1000 acres
of land along the river above the res
ervoir. From the reservoir two dis
tributing canals, each about forty
miles long, will be constructed. The
larger canal will run in a northerly
and easterly direction, irrigatins
about 10000 acres of land on the north
side of the river between the reser-
yoir and Willow creek divide. y canal
which will leave the reservoir on the
west side of Owl creek will irrigate
some 1900 acres on lower Owl creek,
emptying the stored water into the
river below the point where another
diversion is made to irrigate some 49,
600 acres of first-class land on the
south side of the river in the vicinity
of Vale and Empire. BY making Il sec
ond diversion here the return water
from the lands irrigated above may
be used.
The soil is free from alkali ,and lit
tie drainage will be necessary. The
crops that can best be raised are
small grains, such as oats, wheat, rye
and barley, and fruits, such as apples,
pears, plums, cherries and small
fruits. Sugar beets would no doubt
prove a profitable crop if factory
for making sugar were located in the
neighborhood. Potatoes can be raised
on the south side, where the soil con-
tains more sand. The main crop, how
ever, will be hay, both native and al
falfa, for which there is great demand
as winter feed for cattle and sheep
that have the large range to feed on
during the summer months. Alfalfa
produces with water three crops, and
will average, it is said, at least five
tons to the acre, worth from 81 to S.
a ton in the stack. The demand for
farm and garden products is great in
this part of the state on account OF
its proximity to the mining region of
the Black Hills. The farm unit rec
commended under this project is so
acres, which will be reduced to 40
acres within three miles of towns or
proposed towns.
This project has been approved by
the secretary of the interior, who has
set aside $2,100,000 for its construc-
ton. Water users will be required to
pay $50 an acre in ten annual install
ments, which sum includes mainte-
nance and operation for ten years.

Makes Women Sluggish and Apt to

There used to be no greater auto
mobile enthusiast than Baroness Won
Hengelmuller, wife of the Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, but nobody
ever sees her in "chug-chug cart
these days. 1t is limited the baroness
believes there is nothing so injurious
to the complexion, and even to the
figure, as overindulgence in auto
driving. She found that speeding in
the open air gave a person an inordi-
nate appetite, and then made one feel
drowsy. In fact, it meant no exercise
and far too much eating and sleeping.
AS result the waist got out of the
accepted lines and the eyes grew lus
terless. On the whole, the baroness
has decided that if one wishes to re-
main beautiful, walking or riding is a
better form of locomotion. Her ideas
are beginning to be accepted by wom

Facts About MARRIAGE Rite.

The historical facts concerning
marriage as an institution are prob
ably only vaguely known to the ma
jority of people, most of whom would
doubtless be surprised to learn that
the institution. as we know it to-day,
is less than 500 years old. Histories
of the marriage ceremony show that
1t was not solemnized in church as a
religious rite until the time of Pope
Innocent I'LL, A. ID. 1892, and was not
considered a sacrament until 1442.-

TURNING THE RANCHES INTO FARMS
An Object Lesson in the Valve Of the Reclamation Law Shown
in Belle Fourchc Project

No better object lesson of the value
OF the reclamation law as promoter
of substantial and permanent progress
and development is required than that
afforded by the transformation which
within a year has taken place in the
valley of the Belle Fourche river in
South Dakota Until year ago last
spring the wisest inhabitant of that
section would never have presumed to
predict in the smallest degree the
startling changes which have occurred
since the institution of the great work
of reclamation by the government
Up to that time agriculture had al
ways been subordinated to cattle
raising. Belle Fourche was rather
proud of the fact that as yet the pic
turesque cowboy still frequented the
vast range which surrounded the town
and that during the annual roundup
there was no night in Belle Fourche.
The farmer who plowed was the eX-
ception. The average farm was a
square mile fenced and township of
government land adjacent. Fruit and
vegetables, butter and eggs We're new
er raised in sufficient quantities to sup
ply the local demand. Belle Fourche's
chief claim to distinction was that she
shipped more range cattle every year
than any other point in the United
States.
Passing of the Big Ranch.
The llnell of the big ranch, with it's
broad acres untitled, has been sounded
in the valley. A new era is dawning;
an era of small farm units intensively
cultivated, of compact rural settle
ments with improved schools and
churches and with the luxuries and
refinements Of the town replacing the
Isolation of the rural farmhouse. The
farm units are 40, 80 and 100 acres,
the lesser areas being located near the
towns
Belle Fourche has doubled in popu-
lation in the last two years. At no
time has there been a sufficient num-
Der of houses to accommodate the
newcomers. An electric line is built
to connect the valley with Deadwood,
opening up the rich market of the
Black Hills mineral zone. The Chica-
go, Milwaukee & ST. Paul railroad is
being extended from Chamberlain
westward to tap this rich agricultural
The Belle Fourche project contem-
plates the irrigation of about $4,000
acres of land lying northeast of the

Custer county micha is free from iron
and does excellent work for electrical
purposes. There are a number of ex-
cellent micha mines in Custer county.
The past year has seen very thor

tin veins in both the southern and in
the northern hills.

the lime rock found in almost every
mining camp.
Near Custer several weeks ago
body of nickel ore was opened up and
test was made in Omaha, showing
the values to be high enough to pay
for working. Nickel ore has also been
found near Englewood. Another rare
mineral found in considerable guam
titles near Englewood and also near
Sturgis is cobale. An assayer discov-
cred while making test on some ore
for gold that the ore carried a consid-
cradle amount of cobalt, 1t being much
richer in that material than in gold.

months. The anthony ore runs as
high as so per cent, and the vein is
thirty feet in width. 1t is also accom-.

The Southern Black Hills contains
more of the rare minerals and non
metallic substances than the Northern
Black Hills. The formation is differ
ent and the time is soon coming when
some of the most valuable rare mate
rails will be found in paying quantities
south of the Lawrence county line.

MANY OTHER THINGS BESIDES COLD

A great deal of attention has been
shown the past year to the develop
ment and mining of materials not be-
longing to the precious metal class.
Near Hill City there is a spodumene
mine which has produced several
thousand dollars worth of rock that
has been sent to Germany for treat
ment. 1t produces lithia to the amount
of 8 to per cent and is considered a
valuable product. 1t is found in large
white crystals in the old Eta tin mine
and there seems to be an unlimited
amount of it.
Sixteen miles southwest of Custer is
a tripoli mine which has been worked
almost constantly during the year by
F. G. N. Graydon, formerly of Chicago.
This is a gritless material used for
fine polishing and it has found ready
market in the East 1t accompanies
Fuller's earth, which is also a vallla-
BILE by-product. Not far from this
tripoli mine is Autograph stone
quarry owned by Chicago company
which is now about to test some of the
rock for commercial purposes. There
are several lodges of this stone which
are free from grit and will stand the
finest kind Of etching work
More or less wolframite has been
mined in the Black Hills during the
past half dozen years. A new company
has just been organized near Hill City
which has commenced the erection of
hoisting works and camp buildings to
handle a large vein of this ore on a
big scale. Wolframite ore is worth
5000 to $500 per ton. Tungsten acid
Is extracted from this ore and is used
for the hardening of steel.
Considerable micha has also been
shipped from the Southern Hills to
Eastern points. A carload was ship
ped to the Standard Oil company from
a mine near Custer last week and it is
expected that regular shipments WITH
