Hatc;,'s Service Enviable.


Maj. Ira A. Hatch, United States
Indian agent at Cheyenne agency, has
rendered his resignation as agent to
the department at Washington and ex.
poets to be relieved of his duties in a
few days.
Maj. Hatch was appointed agent in
November, 1899. During his incum-
bency many changes, all for the bet
terment of the Indians, have been
made. Among them may be men
toned the opening of the cattle trail
on the northern edge of the reserva.
ton, a project that nets the Indians
$4,000 year, and diverts the cattle
shipments through this city; the
leasing of lands for pasturage pur.
poses worth 100000 year to the In
dians, while before that change went
into effect spectators had the use
of the lands for nothing; allotment
of lands to the Indians in severalty:
construction of new roads, bridges
and reservoirs all over the reserva-
ton. and the enlargement of the
agency buildings.
Many OF the Indians have fenced
their allotments. this being entirely
an innovation. The general tone OF
the Indians has been elevated and the
reservation placed in shape to be
opened to white settlement at the
pleasure of the government.
Maj. Hatch has made a splendid
showing in trying position. and re.
tires from the agency with an envi
able record.

Northwestern Announces Extension
of Gregory Line.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way has filed with the secretary Of
state a resolution of extension of it's
Gregory county line thirty-one miles
in a northwesterly direction, from the
present terminus at Bonesteel. A line
that length practically would carry the
new trackage to the Tripp county
line, on the route which has been Sc
lected by way of Herrick, Gregory and
Burke.
The company is pushing its work
on the Rapid City extension, and in a
few days will be actively engaged on
the construction of their permanent
bridge at Pierre.
The steel for the caissons and the
air compressors for that work are on
the grounds and are being placed on
the location OF the first pier, which
will be short distance back from the
bank of the river. The work on the
piers in the stream cannot be pushed
until the river reaches low water
state late in the fall, and the work
will be carried on through the winter.

Washington, June 15.-The Senate
yesterday decided to vote next Thurs
day on the Panama sea level canal
bill, accepted the conference reports
on the diplomatic and naval appro-
priauion bills, the former complete and
the latter partial; passed a bill limit

vate character.
A dramatic scene occurred in the
house during the adoption of che con-
ference report on statehood, in which
the speaker was the chief participant
and In which he took exception to
what he interpreted as insinuations by
Delegate Smith of Arizona, that undue
influence had been used to affect his
position on the statehood question.
The conference report on the omnibus
lighthouse bill was adopted.

on this land can be raised profitably
by farmers at any point included in
the irrigation project. The expense
of maintaining this farm does not
come out of the reclamation fund, but
out of an appropriation made through
the efforts of the department of agri-
culture.
The idea is to make thorough tests
of this land, of the amount of water
necessary for its best use and of the
kind of crops that can be grown to the
greatest advantage. AS the govern
ment will spare no expense in making
these tests, they will be of incalcula-
Bile benefit to the farmers whose

tical conditions as those which prevail

FLOODS RouT SETTLERS.
Recent Rains Cause Much Damage to
Stock and Roadways,

Terrific rains in the vicinity Of
Sisseton have done much damage to
stock and roadways and have caused
settlers on low ground to abandon
their homes and seek safety on higher
ground. In southern Roberts county
the storm was particularly severe in
the vicinity of Corona. 1t partook of
the nature of cloudburst, the whole
country in the neighborhood of that
village being flooded. Railroad tracks
were covered and pigs and cattle were
forced to swim for their lives Sew
eral families We're forced to leave
their homes. There has been consid-
cradle damage to crops, but the per-
centage Of loss cannot be estimated
until the water subsidies.

Washington, June 17.-By vote Of
ITO to 36 the house yesterday, at the
end of two-hour debate on the ap-
preparations for the Panama canal,
decided that the canal should be of
lock type. After listening to the
speech of Mr.. Burton of Ohio in favor
of the lock canal, and consuming an
hour in the discussion of the amend
ment defining the type as presented
by Mr.. Littauer of New York, the
house, in committee of the whole, ex-
pressed it's opinion In favor of lock
canal
By a decisive vote the house refused
to sanction the purchase of materials
in the markets of the world for the
Panama canal, the general position of
the Republicans being that as the
canal was to be built by American
taxes the American workingman and
the American manufacturer should
have the advantage.
In the Senate.
The time of the senate yesterday
was in the main divided between the
Panama canal bill and the Lake
Erie Ohio ship canal bill.
Senator Bacon took positive ground
against such course and spoke at
length in presenting his views. The
Lake Erie bill was under considera-

~
Threatens Big Tract.
Fears are entertained that the pres
ent June rise" of the Missouri river
will sweep away many acres of valua-
BILE farm land situated at the point
where the James river empties into
the Missouri, in the southeastern por-
ton of South Dakota. The Big Mud
dy" during the past forty-eight hours
has cut into the James river at point
near the mouth of the latter, where
the two rivers have been in close prox-
Unity for some time, and the land in
the vicinity already is submerged.
This has been feared for years, and
now that the water has got over the
land 1t is expected that several hun
dred and perhaps several thousand
acres OF the most valuable farm land
will be cut away and eaten up by the
Missouri river

Livingston, Mont, June 19.-It is
announced here that the Northern Pa

Shields river valley during the coming
summer. The step has been under
consideration for some time, but the
fact that a competitor, by securing the
"Jawbone" line would be able to tap
the country north of the Shields river,
is said to have induced the Northern
Pacific to hasten work on it's proposed
branch line.
