MANS 1nhumanitv to Man.

The average man comes very
near an idiot in taking care OF
himself. You have seen him
wearing fur cap on his head,
while his shoes let in snow and
water. He wears an overcoat on
his back and nothing but a thin
shirt over his chest. He is
mighty scared about freezing his
fingers while his throat is ex-
posed to bllzzards and he is often
ailing or thinks he is. It's herb
tea root tonics, Peters pills.
Paul's pine tar cordial, or plas-
ters and cures, until the balance
wheel in the machine comes to a
stop. Nature wants to keep
gong but she can't. He drinks
whiskey and that clogs the valves;
he drinks beer that clogs the
wheels; he pours down lemonade,
ginger ale, butter milk, ice water.
Tee sadee and what not and then
wonders why the fires under the
boiler do not burn. IF you should
take an OK and put him through
a like performance, he'd be dead
in a year. The simplest and.
plainest laws of health are OUT
ragged every hour of the day by
the average man. Did Adam
smoke? Did Eve wear corsets?
Did Solomon chew tobacco? Did
Ruth chew gum? Did the child
rem of Israel make for the beer
garden after crossing the Red
sea? Did Rebecca eat gum drops
and ice cream and call for soda
water? Adam was the first man
and was made perfect from head
to heel. How long would he re-
main SO after eating a mince pie
before gong to bed? Suppose
he had slept in bedroom b I
with the windows down, the
door shut and two dogs under
the bed? Suppose Eve had laced
herself up in a corset, put on
tight shoes sat up all hours of
the night eating her fill of trash
and sizzled her hair? When
you come to look at it the way
man misbehaves himself you can
only wonder how he ever lived
to get there.-Ex.

Joining the city limits of Aberdeen
has caused report to be circulated
that the company is planning to re-
move it's shops from Minneapolis to
Aberdeen. One of the reasons for the
change is said to be the great expense
of running the shops in Minneapolis,
owing to the high taxes in the big
city, and other causes.
Then, too, Aberdeen would be more
convenient for the company when the
work of extending the line to the coast
is actively commenced. Aberdeen, it
is stated, is the first choice of the
company as to location, if the right
terms can be made with the city coun-
Gil; if not, Montevideo, Mimi, is given
as second choice. 1t is stated in Aber-
deem that about 5000 men are employ
ed in the shops, and the advent of that
number of workingmen and their fam
lilies would prove a welcome addition
to Aberdeen'S population.

STOPS WORK ON IRRIGATION.
Cold Delays Belle Fourche Dam anc
Canal Work.

1t is now certain that the contrac-
tors who are engaged in the work of
constructing the diversion dam and
inlet canal on the great irrigation
project near Belle Fourche, for which
the secretary of the interior has set
aside $2,100,000, will not be able to
complete the work within the time
fixed by the contracts.
The contractors have been delayed
by excessive rains during the summer
and fall and by the cold weather which
has been experienced at intervals
thus far this winter. This has result
ed in the stopping of work on a large
part of the canal, and it will not be re-
sumed in full force again until the
frost is out of the ground next spring.
The work, however, now is quite
we'll advanced, and as the contractors
have been granted an extension OF
time in which to complete the job, two
months of good weather in the spring
will enable them practically to com.
plete the inlet canal.

DAKOTA LAND AFFAIRS,
Some Interesting Items From secrs.
tary Hitchcock'c Annual Report.

The annual report of the secretary
OF the interior gives considerable at.
tention to South Dakota. Referring
to lands, it appears the area unappro-
priated and unreserved comprises
about 100000 acres; reserved, 70,
100000; appropriated, 100000.
During the year about 100000 acres
were surveyed. Proceedings are I'M
der way to compel removal of unlaw
full enclosures of about 5000 acres,
for which thirteen men are under in
dictment for perjury in connection
with homestead entries.
Record of land offices is as follows
Aberdeen, receipts, in round numbers,
$4,000; expenses, $4,000. Chamber-
lain 100000; expenses, $4,000. HUI
ron $4,000; expenses, $4,000. Mitch
ell, $4,000; expenses. $4,000. Pierre,
$4,000; expenses, $500. Rapid City
$48,500; expenses, $4,000. Water
town, $11,600; expenses, $500.
The secretary urges needs of funds
to investigate liquor cases at Indian
reservations. Forty cases west of the
Mississippi river outside of Indian
Territory were reported during the
year and the department of justice
rendered such service as possible, but
the department is handicapped for
lack of funds. AS a result of the de-
cision of the supreme court in the
case of Albert Heff, at Horton, Kan,
the saloonkeeprs at Homer, Neb., i'm
fediately resumed the practice Of sell
ling liquor to Indians.
Superintendent Rankin, of Wind
Cave National park, reports 2,43S Wis
itors during the year. Great interest
was manifested by visitors, and a
large increase in tourists is expected.
A suggestion is made that water be
piped from Beaver Creek, three miles

Total new wealth 1905. 1926, CSC ,261
Total new wealth 1904. 116,7O2, 900

Increase .............. $9,994,261
The real increase is much greater
than the figures indicate, owing to tho
necessity to scale previous estimates
in the light of the revelations of the
recent census.
The above estimates of new produc-
ton is always subject to scaling to the
extent of the grain and forage fed to
live stock. So much as is SO fed is of
course counted twice.
Apportioning the production of new
wealth to the number of inhabitants
revealed by the recent census, that is,
455.1S5, and we have $27S for each in
dividual, leaving the state for the sew
enth year in an enviable position
which no other commonwealth can
reach, and though we are this year
upon a high level, the condition is the
common one of recent years and can
not be fairly said to be much above
the average.
Education-All of the educational
interests of the state are in prosperous
condition.
Public Health-There have been no
cpiiSullSo tIC yCdl. NO uldTll-
ing feature has been manifested, ex-
cept the prevalence of tuberculosis
among the Indian population
The most notable death of the year
is that of Hon. Otto c. Berg, former
secretary of state, which occurred on
July 1.
Conclusion-The close Of the fiscal
year finds the people generally opti-
mistic. South Dakotans have in recent
years developed a pride in the state
which is highly gratifying. The South
Dakota" idea has taken strong hold
upon the people and state loyalty is
all-abounding. This spirit is prophetic
OF future for the state which shall
more than justify the high hopes of
the founders of the commonwealth.
