WORK ON CANAL
is PROGRESSING
Great Irrigation Project If,
Western South Dakota
Well Under Way.
AN ARMY OF
Hundreds of Men and Teams Are Mo-
Employed in the Work, Which
Is Being Rushed to Compile
ton by the Contractors.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Oct. Good
progress is being made in the prelimin-,
! airy work in connection with the nam
moth irrigation system near this place,
on which the United States govern
ment will eXpend the sum o. several
millions of dollars.
The construction of both the diver
sion dam and the inlet canal has pro-
crossed very satisfactorily during the
last few weeks and a good showing is
now being made. The excessive rain
fail during the early part of the sea-
son delayed the work greatly, but since
the dry weather came the contractors
have been able to push the work quite
rapidly.
Hundreds of men and teams are now
employed in the work, which the CON
tractors hope to have completed with
diversion dam is further advanced than
that on the i&let canal. An electric
lighting system was recently installed
and now both day and night shifts
are being worked. 1t is estimated that
over one-third of the work on the dam
is completed. and that one-fourth OF
the work on the inlet canal has been
completed.
Al the present time only a small por-
ton of the inlet canal has been COM
pleted. y stretch of probably three
fourths of a mile from the dam to Grow
creek requires only the finishing
touches. While about the same dis
lance near what is known as Giles
ranch also is nearing completion. A
distance of about one nj one-fourth
miles on the proposed canal as yet has
had no work whatever done upon it.
Work on a big cut of forty-five feet
near Giles ranch is progressing fairly
we'll. This is at the point where the
water will drop from the canal into
what will be known as the Owl Greek
reservoir. A big steam shovel is at
work on this part of the canal. 1t will
take some time yet to take out the
earth to the required depth.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in working the steam shovel. due to
the fact that those operating the shovel
nave been unable to utilize more than
one car during the greater part of the
time. a second steam shovel will soon
arrive. and this will be put at work
on q small cut near what is known as
the Gilbert ranch. An electric light,
plant is being installed at the point,
where the first steam shovel is at work,
and this will enable the me operating1
the shovel to keep the machine goingt
both day and night.
The telephone line from Belle
Fourche 10 the site selected for the
reservoir dam has been accepted by;
the government, but it is thought the:
line will have to be provided with a
heavier Wire. The telephone line is for
the convenience of the government Of
ficials who are supervising the con-
struction of the immense irrigation sys-
tenn, and who for q part Of the time
VIII make their headquarters in Belle

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. THE mys-
terry surrounding the disappearance of
Mrs. Frank Love, wife Of a farmer, liv-
ing nea the little town of Condo, has
been solved. At the time of her dis
appearance it was rumored that Mrs.

Charles Bradley, who had been en-
ployed on Il farm situated near that of

that Mrs. Love did not elope. The

the home of relatives, where she has
temporarily at least taken up her resi-

AFTER LONG LITIGATION.
Title Is Finally Quieted 10 a South,
Dakota Homestead.

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. AFTER a pc
Rod of litigation extending over TWEEN
ty-tWo years the title to q quarter sec
ton of Brown county and has been
finally settled and cleared of all claims
against it.
In March, 1883, Miss Harriet e. En-
cry, a school teacher of Minneapolis,
came to Brown county and settled on
the east half of the northwest quarter
and the west half of the northwest
quarter of section 1866. While living
on her claim she contracted an illness
which proved fatal and in June, 1884,
her heirs committed the land by paying
the minimum price of $125 and made
proof to establish their rights under
the cash entry. Their proof was reject
ed by the commissioner Of the general
land office, and the cash certificate held
for cancellation. An appeal was taken
to the secretary Of the interior, whose
decision in 1896 modified the ruling md
required the officers of the Aberdeen
land office to notify all parties in inter
est and directed that the cash entry
should stand subject to the decision of
the secretary. The local lane Office
neglected to serve the required notice
until in the sulnmer of 1899, thirteen
years after the notice vas first issued
by the interior department. The heirs
in the meantime had lost interest in the
matter, and finally gave a quit claim
deed to f. e. Emery, a brother of the
deceased c~laimholder, II Il resident
of Springfield, Mass. He furnished sup
Elemental proof which finally resulted
in him receiving title to the land in
March, 1902. In the meantime tax deeds
and other membranes had piled up
against the property, and it was not
until a few weeks ago that the litiga-
ton was finally ended and Mr.. Emery
is now the undisputed owner Of the
land in question, which has become
quite valuable.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 5.-The of
ficials Of the Minneapolis and ST. Louis
Railroad company have advised the
state board Of railroad commissioners,
whose headquarters are in this city,
that immediate steps Will be taken to
improve the station facilities Of the

ton taken at u recent meeting of the

feet that an improvement in the depot
facilities would be of great benefit to
the travelling public. The citizens of
Troy some weeks ago filed with the
board q petition asking for an i'm
provement in the station facilities.
Commissioner Smith made a personal
investigation, and a copy of his report
was sent to the railroad officials, with
the result that in addition to improving
the accommodations for passengers, the
railroad company will not put in II
telephone for the convenience of ship
pers a;ld make other important inn
provements.
