A well informed authority states that there are
thirty-eight machines at work now sinking artesian wells
in South Dakota. Some of these outfits are working west
u u III Missouri river, but the most ef them are east of it.
The average time to sink a well is three weeks. The
majority of the wells are for farmers and ranchmen and
an inch or two inch pipe is used, the average flow being
about SO gallons a minute. 1t is now almost impossible
to keep track Of the number Of wells gong down in the
counties between Huron and Pierre. The demand for
more wells is increasing SO that many more outfits will
have to be added to those now at work to supply them.
The water is used fer stock and household purposes, gar
dens and orchards, but not fog general crops. Will the
great underground reservoir continue to spit forth when
jabbed By sharp drill is a question asked by many ow-
ING to the almost numberless new wells going down and

Commission Reports In Favor Of Pal
mer's Removal From Office.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Public Printer
Palmer will retire from the govern
ment service as a result of the Lam
ston typesetting machine scandal, If
the recommendations OF the Keep in
Vestigation commission are approved
by President Roosevelt.
Only IL of these machines will be
purchased by the government; the
contract for 70 machines will be can
celled. The investigation developed
that there is no use for so many ma
chimes of this type, and that accord
ingly the purchase Of the number for
which contracts we're made would be
waste Of public money.
The reasons for the recommends
tion that Mr.. Palmer be removed is
that he accepted hospitalities at the
hands Of officials of the Lanston COM
pany while it was endeavoring to sell
its machines to the government; that
he is ignorant of the demands of the
Office under his control, and that he
has advocated extravagant disburse-
ment of funds.

YELLOW FEVER
SLOWLY SPREADS

date, 346; deaths. 6; total deaths to
date So; new foci, A; total foci to

secondary infection from any OF the
existing foci. the general sitaation is
regarded as hopeful The large num-
Der of new cases, the largest yet re-
ported in a single day, shows that the
tertiary infection among the panic
stricken people in the original district
is appearing, which was to be expect
ed. One of the new cases is on Jack

from the sister state, and Governor

captain Of the naval brigade, which
has a fully equipped gunbOat, with the
view OF having It dispatched to the
borders to protect Louisiana citizens
from further indignities. Mississippi
has FIVE armed boats patrolling the
coast to prevent fishermen from
breaking through the quarantine lines.
These vessels are also assisted by the
United States revenue cutter WinOna.
The Mississippi boats will not allow
Louisiana fishermen to even enter Mis-
sissippi Sound, east of st. Joe light
but from reports received here it ap-
pears that one Of these patrol boats
came into Lake Borgne, which is dis
tinctly Louisiana territdry. The naval
brigade vessel Stranger draws too much
water for service in that vicinity, but a
light draft boat will be impressed into
service armed with a hOwitzer or two
and manned by officers from the bri-
gade, and will be sent out to prevent
further aggressiOns.
It was learned authoritatively that
