Dean Jones of Minneapolis of.
fered the Presidency

Frederick S. Jones, dean of
the engineering department. at
the state university and one OF
the most prominent educators
in the west, has been offered
the presidency Of the university
of South Dakota and may leave
Minnesota to assume the presi-
dency at the Vermillion institu-
ton. The offer came some
time ago and has been backed
up by the personal requests of
the Dakota regents, who visited
Minneapolis last week in the eff
fort to secure Dean Jones for
their university.
University conditions in
South Dakota have been unset
tied for the last year, and Presi-
dent Garret H. Droppers resign
ed at the close Of the college
year. In the search for his sue
cessor the regents turned their
eyes to the Minnesota faculty,
and the fattering offer to Dean
Jones resulted.
At the university today Pres
ident Northrop expressed his
|ppinion that Dean Jones would
not accept the offer. "The Of
fer made Dean Jones by the
South Dakota regents is very
aattering," said President
Northrop, "but l do not think
that Dean Jones will leave the
university. He is in charge Of
a large department., and will re-
main, l Think
Dean Jones is at Lake Mime
tonka, and could not be inter-
viewed.
He came to the university in
1885, and has been connected
with the institution continuous
ly since that time. He has not
only been prominent in
connection with the educational
progress of the university, but
he has taken an interest in
western intercollegiate athlet-
les and acted as president of the
big nine conference last year.

NEW (|T1 RESERVOIR
Rapid City is to Have a
Larger Water Supply

Rapid City water works sys-
tenn is to be made more ade-
quate to meet the growing de-
mand for water. A scheme is
on foot to augment the present
supply Of water by building a
new reservoir at what is known
as the lower springs. Here a
large reservoir will be built con-
nected with the upper springs,
where the present dam is, by a
flume. A system Of screens
will be installed to insure clear
water. This proposition will
give the people of the city u
supply from both springs. The
cost of the proposed system will
be only $4,000. This sum con-
sidering the benefit derived is
very small.

These western people propose
to take care of the crowds dur
ing the reservation opening in
the best possible shape, and
with that end in view have in
augurated a system of hotels
and boarding houses under
municipal control. It is stated
that there will be no exhorbi-
tant prices charged and no un-
fair advantage taken of the rush
of business. and municipal own
ership will receive q trial under
surroundings that are certainly
unique.
GREAT INTEREST is MANIFESTED.
The public is showing a great
deal Of interest in this opening
Of reservation lands to settle
ment and the Passenger De-
partment of the Chicago &
Northwestern Ry. is sending
out to inquirers thousands of
copies of pamphlets which tell
us in detail how to secure a
quarter section of this land and.
what may be expected in the
way of the character of the soil
and plans for irrigation.
Omaha, Neb., June 23-An-
nouncement is made by the Chi
cago &North- Western Railway,

pleted July LIST. Great prepar-
ations are being made at the
new town for the reception of
the people when the homestead
rush sets in. Boarding houses
and hotels will be under muni-
cipal ownership and control,

Last Friday all election was
held to vote bonds for a sewer
age system in Rapid City.
While the vote poled was light,
there was a sufficient numberto
carry the election in favor Of a
sewer. Much credit is due to
the promoters Of this project for
our cities good. And if the
vote on the proposition was
small it was not because the
voters deprecated the need ola
sewer system. 1t was owing to
the fact that so obvious was the
need Of such a system that
many Of the voters deemed their
individual vote unnecessary.

HOMES FOR THoUs.
ANDS.

Great Preparations are
Being Made for the
Shoshonc Reservation
Opening Next Month.
Mr.. Clarence L. johnson the
State Engineer Of Wyoming
says that the irrigation plans
now being completed for the
Shoshone Reservation lands
that are to be thrown upon to
homesteaders provide for the ir-
ngation Of 300, 900 acres Of the
finest agricultural land in the
west. The SOIL, said Mr.. JOHN
son, is better and moro uniform
in quality than in other irrigat-
ed lands and the water supply
Of the Big Wind River cannot
be surpassed anywhere.
The soil is a sandy loan,
gently sloping to the south
and east and the only part that
cannot be irrigated are a few
ridges that serve as wind breaks
and shelter to the agricultural
country. In fact, stocklnen
have admitted that this section
OF Wyoming does not make a
good winter range, for the rea-
con that the wind is heavy.
The coded portion Of the res
ervation lands lie from folty-six
hundred to fifty-six hundred
feet above the sea level, and the
farming which has been done
along the river shows results
that indicate that all kinds Of
crops can be grown.
WYOMING LOOKS GOOD.
Present conditions indicate
that Wyoming will be at her
best to welcome the influx Of
homeseekers this summer. The
grass had a splendid start, there
is an abundance Of moisture
which will assure a splendid
range, and customers will find
as sleek herds in Wyoming as
can be seen in any part Of the
country.
THE RESERVATION OPENING.
The Presidents proclamation
has been given to the public and
July l6 to 31st. inclusive, are
the dates for registration. Be-
ginning August 4th the names
Of those who have registered
will be drawn to ascertain the
fortunate holders of numbers
entitled to make entry of a
quarter section each. The final
entry will take place at the rate
Of 100 entrymen per day, be-
ginning August 18th.
Shoshoni and Lander, on the
new railray extension connect
ing with the Chicago & North
Western Ry. at Casper, are the
points indicated by the govern
ment for registration, and the
final entry will be made at Lam
der.
Thousands Of prospective
homesteadels will visit Wyom-
ing this summer to participate
in this big opening Of home
steads. The railroads have
made special rates Of less than
one fare for the round trip for
this occasion, and the train SER
vice will be especially arranged
for the convenience OF visitors.
THE NEW TOWN OF sHosHONI.
Two-and-half miles from the
reservation border q new city
has sprung up since the town
was plotted some months since.
Its population is Of that active
western sort that shows it's ag-
gressiye, pushing policy by get
ting ready for the future. 1t
has banks, hotels, stores and all
those things that older cities
possess for the convenience OF
its citizens and the stranger
within its gates.
The building Of the Wyoming
& North Western. Ry. to this
point will make it one Of the
great stock shipping centers OF
Wyoming.
The terminus of the new line
is to be at Lander, an older
city, in the beautiful Lander
Valley, where a great deal Of
irrigation has been done.
