GREAT HELP TO MlLLERs.
Garretson Man Has Invented a Milling
Machine 54

Garretson, S. D., Aug. 15.-Milling cir
cles and the flour using public have
been much interested the past few
months in a milling machine recently
patented by Levi Lash, manager of the
Globe Milling company of this place.
For several weeks the company has
had it's mill running on what is known.
as the continuous air system, which Mr.
Lash's machine makes possible. BY the
use Of this air system all the cotton
fiber of the flour is removed. This cot
ton fiber is part of the flour that is
entirely indigestible, and millers have
never before been but partially sue
cessful in removing it.
The air system also keeps the rolls
perfectly cool and enables a miller to
turn out coarser product and yet have
the color without killing the life Of the
flour to bleach it, and the sweet. nuttS3
flavor of the wheat is retained. 1t also
has distinct economic gain.
While the general public will know
and care little about the work of the
machine, millers are interested and the
public is keenly alive to the added
purity of the -four and the retaining of
the natural flavor Of the wheat. Car
retson is naturally much pleased to see
one of her citizens. solve vital problem
that has confronted miliers up to this
time,

INDIANS DYING FAST.
Their Degenerate Physical Condition Is
Very Noticeable

Deadwood. S. D.. Aug. IA party of
about sixty Indians is encamped at
Chautauqua park, just above this city,
and are enjoying a holiday. They have
some important communication which
as yet they have not disclosed, which
they propose to lay before Congressman
Martin. Every year the Indians come
to Deadwood their degenerate physical
condition has become more noticeable.
They are all victims of scrofula or
tuberculosis and their weakened con-
dition is rapidly becoming more notice
able. A few years ago the Indians who
came here to attend court and for their
annual powwows We're a heardy looking
lot of people, but now even the chill
dren are infected with these terrible
diseases, and it is a question as to
whether it is wise for people even to
purchase the articles which they have
made by hand. They are giving war
dances on every possible occasion and
proving source of interest to tourists.

FARMERS ELATEo.
Crop Prospects in Lincoln County Are
Promising.

promising.
Canton, S. d., Aug. flowing to the
heavy rains of the past few days the
farmers of this locality are greatly
elated over the prospects of the corn
crop which has been, UP to this time,
very much in doubt. For several weeks
there was an entire absence OF rain. and
corn was beginning to suffer from the
drought, but the splendid rains have
settled the questions beyond all doubt.
This part of South Dakota will now
have one of the best corn crops that
has ever been raised. Small grain is all
harvested and is highly satisfactory,
the crop being a heavy yield and of
finest quality. This is especially true
of oats, which has never been better in
this locality. The potato crop will not
be SO heavy as last season, but there
will be more than an average crop.

the church.

RAISE ASSESSMENTS.
Valuations of Corporation Property
Higher in South Dakota.

s1lSU0T III 0OUIn 0AkOIas
Pierre. 8. D.. Aug. 1.-THE state
first session for this year and taken
an adjournment until August %, when
any complaints in regard to it's action
will be heard and considered. The to-
tai valuation of the state will be higher
than for the past year. but the in-
board did not this year attempt to use
its arbitrary power in the way of in
creasing valuations on a general level.
The increase will include assessments
on new property and increases in cor
porate assessments, on which class of
property the board outlined new meth
DDS in several cases, notably express
companies and telephones. The ex-
press companies, in the past assessed
evidently on an arbitrary basis, have
now been placed on a mileage basis.
Telephone and telegraph valuations
ground that as this class of property
pays only state tax of 25 mills on
the dollar of assessed value, it should
stand strong assessment to come
anywhere near an equality with other
classes of property which have to stand
local taxation.
The total increase in corporate as
sessment, including all classes of prop
erty which come under that head, is
practically s76a692. The railroads
stand S424,617 of this, $4,000 of this
coming in the assessment for the first
haha county. Telephones are called
upon for S273.015 of this increase; tele-
graphs, 100000; express companies.
$15.000 and the Pullman company, $5.-
900. The telephone returns for the year
have placed 143 telephone companies
on the tax list as against 106 last year.
The increase on railroads was made on
branch lines.

Sioux Falls. 8. D.. Aug. Mrs.
William Rhinelander Stewart, formerly
of New York city, who recently became
g member Of the local divorce colony,
has just entertained distinguished
guest, in the person Of Anthony ].
Drexel, the multi millionaire Of Phila.,
delphia, who is married to sister Of
Mrs. Stewart.
Mr.. Drexel was accompanied by his
son, and they arrived In Sioux Falls in
the formers private car, Twilight"
After remaining over Sunday as the
guest OF Mrs. Stewart and her daugh-'
ter. Miss Anita, they today departed for
the east.
The purpose of Mr.. DrexeTs visit to-
Sioux Falls at this time Is not known
but 1t doubtless was in the nature OF
social call on his sister-in-law and
her daughter and to see how they were
situated in their new home.
This was Mr.. Drexers first visit to
Sioux Falls and South Dakota, noty
withstanding that many thousands Of
dollars of the Drexel estate is invested
in Indian mission schools in the SOUTH
western portion Of the state.
During the two years prior to taking
up her residence in Sioux Falls Mrs.
Stewart spent great deal of her time
with the Drexel family, and last sum =,
ner was guest on the Drexel yacht,
the Marguerite, which carried the
members Of the party on an extended.

HARVESTING is OVER.

Alexandria, S. D., Aug. 16.-Harvest-
ing of small grain is finished and stack
ing is we'll under way. Shock threshing
in some instances has begun, the yield
shown being fully as large as was ex-
pected. Spring wheat shows excellent
quality and will yield an average Of
about fifteen bushels per acre, in a sin
gle instance tWenty-three bushels,
weighing siXty-two pounds to the
bushel, having been thresfed. But lit
tie winter wheat was raised in the
county and none has been threslfed.
! Satisfactory results are, however, eX-
pected from this variety of wheat and
a much larger acreage than has ever
been raised in the county will be sown
this fall. Rye will be an unusually light
crop an average yield of no more than
ten bushels being looked for. Much an
S<9yance has been experienced this sea-
-ls.on from the unusually prolific volun-
teer crop of this grain, many pieces Of
grain of other varieties raised on land
where rye was grown last year being
rendered worthless except for feed pur-
poses because of it's presence. Barley
will make the heaviest crop ever raised
in this locality of that grain, but qua,-
ity will be poor, much being unmarked
able on account of the presence of
smut. Oats will yield from fifty to sew
enty-f1ve bushels per acre and are of
fair quality. New oats are selling for
nineteen cents at present in the local.
market. Corn has made a fairly phe-
noHenal growth during the past two
weeks and is thought to have quite
made good the unfas -rable condition
of the crop at the beginning Of July,
occasioned by the extremely cool weath-
er of the fore part Of the season. A
full average crop is looked FOR. Some
plowing has been done and the land is
found to be in splendid condition for
the work.
Owing to an unusual scarcity Of help
to do the work of stacking grain much
more shock threshing will be done this
year than usual
Weather conditions for the harvest
no rain interference occurring and only
few days being uncoufortably warm

They report the discovery of new
wheat enemy, heretofore unknown to

The disease consists Of yellow spot

composition of the berry from protein
to starch. lowering the food value of
the grain. The experts estimate that
the value Of the grain is reduced at
least 2 cents per bushel by the exist
ence of yellow berry" in wheat field
The professors found but very few
wheat fields in South Dakota affected
with the new disease, but report the
trouble quite prevalent in Kansas and
Nebraska.
Isaac Lincoln last spring planted
some seed wheat procured at DEVILS
Lake, N. d. Some of the seed was re-
tanned, and the experts found at least
30 per cent. of 1t affected with yellow
berry," An examination of Mr.. Lin
coln's field grown from the seed showed
not over 1 per cent. of the wheat af-
:ected, Indicating that the disease is
not transmitted from the seed.
