Robinson's Irrigation Ditch.

Fred Robinson was in town Thursday

nations made in the nozzle of his new

him developed the following facts con
cerning the enterprising project Kelly
g. Robinson and his sons are putting
into force. At an outlay of not to en-
ceed Sl5OO, they have put in 12-horse
power International gasoline engine
and large Gould pump, capable of
pumping leGO gallons of water per min
ute. Also they have laid large system
of pipes and carry the water two miles.
Now as result they have $50 acres
under constant irrigation.
This scheme of irrigation has been
tried extensively on the little Missouri
river and has always worked very sue
cessfully. 1t is far superior to the old
headgate method with its losses from
floods etcetera, first, because the first
outlay is no greater, and second, be-
cause the supply of water can be made
constant by sinking we'll down to bed
rock in the river bottom.
This initiative taken by the Robin
sons mark them as modern and up-to.

Hepburn Bnl :n Effect To-day.

All but two clauses Of the famous

vas such a bitter fight in congress,
will go into effect TO day The clause
eilecting transportation is not effect
tive until January | next. In conse-
quence OF the restrictions placed upon
the railroads by the bill, everything
has been keyed up to the new stand
ard. The Black Hills Car Service as
sociation is prepared to enforce the
letter of the Jaw upon merchlnts and
mining companies alike, and hence
forth every company retaining car
after the prescribed limit must pay
demurage rates. On account of the
varying trade services in the Black
Hills, Manager Ryan was able to Sc
cure the concession of "a hours time
for orders as to the destination of a
car of coal that is received in a town.
This privilege will be appreciated
even down to Edgemont. Besides the
"a hours for orders, anyone receiving
a Car is allowed 4S hours to unload
without paying demurage. The "a
hour privilege only applies to coal.
Manager Ryan stated that although
there are certain seasons when a car
shortage cannot be prevented, this
inconvenience will be minimized by
the new rules of the association which
go into effect today.-Pioneer-T Times.
