Sioux Falls, S. D., May 19.-As the re-
suit of a case which is likely TO arise in
TINS county, the question as to whether
or not II is compulsory for boards of
county commissioners, under the new
state law, TO maintain cattle commits
%sloners and establish stock dipning
tanks will be determined by the courts.
j.. j.. Urquhart. of Valley Springs, as
the result of a meeting of the stock
men OF the county some weeks ago, was
elected cattle commissioner for Min
nehaha county in accordance with the
terms of the new law.
The county commissioners have thus
far failed to provide for the establish
ment OF dipping tanks at points in the
county, maintaining that the law was
intended to apply only to the counties
tuate in the great cattle range. In
spector UrQuhart was recently called

northern portion of the county. After
performing the work he presented Al
Dill for his services to the county COM
mlssioners, but they refused to allow
thea amount of his claim.
Inc matter was reported to the state
cattle commissioners, who have now
decided that Inspector Urqullart acted
NltnlF his authority and that the coun-
" commissioners are bound to paw the

OIL i'm Alberta.

A letter has been received from
John A. Kennedy of Browning, an
nouncing that another flowing we'll
has been brought in in the oil City
district, in southwestern Alberta, a
few miles across the international
boundary.
From other reliable sources 1t is
learned that this new well produces
500 barrels a day. 1t is a 12-inch
well sunk by the Rocky Mountain De-
Velopment company, which had pre-
viously brought in several producing
wells. and is situated about a mile
and three-quarters from some of the
lands of the Southeast British Co
lumbia Land and oil company of this
city.
The value of this new well to the
company in dollars and cents is diff
cult to estimate. though its approx
mate value can be judged by estimat-
ing what the product of such a we'll
will be I'm a year. Crude oil at the
well is worth s2.25 a barren. and a
well hose output is 500 barrels a day
will produce i'm 365 days 292, 900 bar

New CathedrnI for RoIse.

The building as shown by drawings
Is symmetrical and pleasing: the de-
sign being in Romanesque style of
architecture in which so many grand
cathedrals have been built. Broad
arcaded entrances 40 feet in width
with broad steps leading thereto, and
are flanked on either side by beauti-
fully designed Romanesque towers,
rising to the extreme height of 100
feet.
The material for the construction
has not been fully settled upon, but
il will probably be cut stone for foun-
dation and granite brick. with cut
stone trimmings for superstructurel
The cost of the building depends on
the sale to some extent of some
church property that will run up in
total, to a good round figure. The
enclosing of the building without in
terror finishing, decorating. heating
plumbing or furnishing it is expected
will cost in the neighborhood of $780,
600. 1t is quite certain that the build
ing will cost between $4,000 and
100000 completed and furnished
throughout. 1t will be the finest
church edifice in the state, and one of
the finest in the Pacific Northwest.
Work began this morning in pre-
liminary way to test the depth to
reach solid ground, and as soon as
specifications are completed the work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The stage has dressing room at
each side. Adjoining the stage are
six Sunday school rooms made with
rolling partitions. that can be made
into one large lecture room for lee
lures, concerts. etc. and in connec-
tion with the chapel would seat
large audience of over 1000 persons.

are now engaged in the installation of
the engines. The house has been re-
modelled and enlarged, and when
completed the new boat will be the
largest and fastest craft on the Snake

machinery is the best that can be
