of the state and vault room for the
most valuable records and papers
belonging to the state. The other
project was to erect library build
ing costing anywhere from $4,000
to $4,000. The discussion however
developed the fact that the senti-
ment was almost overwhelmingly in
favor of doing something at this
time, and that whatever was done
should be in the form OF perma-
nent and integral part of a capitol
building which when completed in
the future should be symmetrical
part of the whole capitol building
It appe AIRED from the discussion that
the house did not think well at this
time to do more than complete a
section of the capitol building and
adopt plans SO that it would be a
symmetrical part of the whole build
ing when completed in the future.
There is very healthy sentiment in
favor of expanding about $50, 900 on
that part Of the capitol building 10
be erected al this time. The money
80 appropriated is to be repaid to
the state by the sale Of lands grant
ed to the state Tor capitol building,
purposes, OF which there are $1,000
acres. Aside from proper quarters.
for the supreme court and the libra
-ries Of the state, the present capitol,
building will serve the purposes of
The state for . number Of years. Il
takes q longer time to- erect and
equip capitol building than most
people think. Even II the state
should proceed 70 erect q complete
capitol building At this time il is
probable that il would not be ready
for occupancy before 1911 or 1912.
Those who spoke on the subject
expressed their belief that $1,000,
600 capital building was not any loo
good for South Dakota, that would
mean that the building proper
would cost in the neighborhood OF
100000 and that the heating,
lighting and other equipments
would cost in the neighborhood Of
$500, 900. At this time however,
only about $4,000 will be expend-
ed and will remain for the future
Legislature to provide for the press
ing needs OF the state from time to
time.

While great progress is being made
in the development Of all sciences,
storms and wiaas seem to elude the
most acute observation and study of
mankind. There is much that has been
learned. many valuable predictions
that can be made but when and where
the tornado win strike in its fury is
still as elusive Of mans best effort to
discover, as is the seemingly haphaz-

The United States weather bureau
has been enabled to discover some Of
the conditions that prepare the way
for tornadoes. but they happily so sell
dom follow up those conditions by com
ing with their death dealing power,
that clearly the present knowledge Of
mankind does not include some essen
tlal elements. We are still only like
children beholding the terrible results
of the wonderful forces Of nature, yet
ignorant Of the real 81 ses and void
Of the ability to predict the time and
place.
While the scientists continue their
struggle with the problem, and by no
means hopeless OF its true solution,
the only practical thing for ordinary
folks to dc is to prepare a cyclone
cave and make for it in all haste
when they see OF hear the terrible
whirling cloud and rumbling sound. In
the day time there is no trouble to
recognize the tornado by the funnel
shaped cloud and it's awful roar, but
in the night time the roar is about az.
that is left by which one may hope to
be warned

that there is a minute or so IN which
one can ny 70 SAFETY, II it Is near AT

KANSAS CRY ron srArEHoop.

NANoAS u Y FOh > y EfTOQBs
There Is real encouragement for
statehood in the words Of Senator
william Warner and Congressman
Ellis and the unanimous sentiment
among the members OF the Kansas City
Commercial club, which receatly par
took Of the hospitality OF the capital
city. These gentlemen are not only
sincere but powerful and it is a great
step in advance to have their real
active sympathy and support.
Oklahoma people have not forgotten
the part played by Kansas City in Sc
curing the first act OF congress open
ing Oklahoma 10 settlement. The bust
ness men, the press and the congress
sional delegation waged bitter war on
the obstructionlsts and after one OF
the hardest fights ever made IN con-
gress finally succeeded in getting the
Oklahoma act attached as a rider to
the Indian appropriation bill.
This bit of history leads oklahomans
TO have faith In what the Kansas City
visitors, led by Senator Warner. had
TO say They will be not passive but
active friends and the high official po-
sition Of Senator Warner and Congress-
man Ellis give immense weight to
their words The business men have
great weight What Oklahoma has
needed was a weight of sympathy and
public opinion behind her efforts that
would permit Of no dallying or Juggling

words from other congressman and
feel such an impalsiye spirit on the
part Of their constituents as was mani

them have other considerations which
