RUN "GRAIN SPECIALS"

Watertown, S. D., Sept. l9.-The vol
ume OF wheat movement in the north
west half of the state this early in the
season is without a precedent. and 1T is
safe to say that the South Dakota crop
of 1906 will establish a record for wheat
raising countries.
The sidings at every station west of
Watertown are filled with loaded cars,
Doland alone reporting fifty cars waiting
transportation. The railway companies
are doing their best to prevent block
AIDE and are working extra crews night
and day. running grain specials to
the eastern market centerS. Last
nights evening passenger passed four
of these special trains in the short run
from Redfield to Watertown. Reports
tion on the H. & ID. division of the Mil
waukee road, while the elevators in the
new towns on the Minneapolis and St.
Louis extension to the Missouri are be-
ing filled to bursting and will hopelessly
congest traffic on that line for some
time after the line is opened.
No great rise in the price of wheat
from Il corner in the market is at
tracing this grain directly from the
machines in such unusual quantities,
but Il sudden realization on the part of
the farmers of the enormous bumper"
crop that they have raised and not pro-
Eided for in the way of new or enlarged
israineces has compelled them to rush
the overflow TO market. Many have
erected temporary storehouses in the
enough teams to haul it to town at this
time, while many others have been
compelled to pile their grain on the
ground.

such a skillful way that often the

INCREASE ARTEslAN FLOW.
lliahnacre Man Discovers That 1t Can
&c Done by Air Pressure.

r:irhmore, S. d., Sept. 17-The re-
suit of experiments made with the ar
tesian we'll, which furnishes the peo-
,,,e of this place with water for fire
protection and domestic purposes,
SHOWS that the natural flow OF arteslan
wells can be increased by the use of
air compressor&.
The contractor who was awarded
the contract to install waterworks
system here has guaranteed to furnish
100000 gallons of water every twenty
four hours, and made the experiments
for the purpose of ascertaining how
much water could be secured from the
present artesian we'll. During a tWo
hours run of the air compressor flow
of between fifty and fifty-tve gallons
per minute was secured. The result
of the experiments demonstrates that
the we'll will furnish the required
amount OF water for the new water
works system.
1t is a somewhat remarkable cir
cumstance that the tests have caused
the artesian we'll to increase it's nat
ural flow about 81 per cent.
