NEW WELL A WORLD-BEATER.
Second Artesian Basin Penetrated a,
Faulkton at Depth Of 1855 Feet.

Second Artesian Basin Penetrated at
Faulkton at Depth Of 1855 Feet.
The greatest gusher in the way OF
an artesian well in this state, depth to
be considered, was struck at Faulkton
by Norbeck & Nicholson, who were
putting down a we'll for the city. The
artesian basin was struck at a depth
of 1900 feet, but on account Of the
high altitude at that place only a
small flow was secured. The well at
this depth was four and one-half
inches in diameter at the bottom. AS
the flow and force was not satisfactory
two-inch test drill was started down
from the bottom of the four -and-a half
inch hole.
At the depth of 1855 feet another
artesian was tapped that proved a
gusher. With only two-inch hole at
the bottom, there is flowing $50 gal
Ions of water a minute, with a pres
sure estimated at 125 pounds. The
well drillers will now enlarge the small
hole to four inches, when the flow Will
be increased accordingly. This makes
the fourth artesian well in Faulkton.

ply repetition Of that In other sec
tions. For wheat raising, corn and
other grains, no state in the Union
can surpass South Dakota. The case
of Mr.. Foth is only one of many In
the state.
The big crops and the great amount
OF new railway construction that Is
going on in the state are daily bring
ing in a throng of homeseekers. Most
OF these are pushing to the western
part of the state, as that is where the
railway construction is opening up an
entirely new country and where land
is the cheapest. But there are many
among the homeseekers who do not
care to open up new country. and
are satisfied to pay q reasonable price
for land, the capacity Of which has
been proved and which is nearer the
centers of population.
Three Fine Farming Counties.
The counties Of Beadle, Hyde and
Hand. In the central part of the state,
are attracting a large part of this
class of homeseekers. These coun-
ties are in the great artesian belt,
have plenty of land that has never
known the plow, and contain mum.
Der of thriving communities. Take
the county of Beadle as an illustra-
ton. It's county seat, Huron, is one
of the bright, hustling and pushing
communities of the state. It furnish
es market not only for its own coun-
ty, but for several others. Two rail-
ways enter 1t, SO that 1t is large
receiving and shipping point. Its
streets are we'll kept and well lighted.
and it has good hotels. They are now
building a hotel there that will cost
100000 when completed.
The land in these counties can bo
had at what seems ridiculously low
prices when one compares it's yield
with that of lands in Illinois, Iowa or
other Western states. They raised
thirty bushels of wheat to the acre in
Beadle county this year and eighty
bushels of oats, while the corn crop
promises to be something immense.
1t is fine dairying country, produces
a large number of hogs, and. like all
parts Of South Dakota, 1t never has hog
cholera. What has been said OF Bea-
die county also applies to Hyde and
Hand, except that they have no such
towns as Huron in point Of size. Both
have a number of good sized towns,
however, and il they are not as large
as Huron they are strictly up to date
and good business centers. It will on
" be matter of a few years when
these counties will have all their
lands occupied and under cultivation.
1t is the man who gets them at the
present price that is going to make
the money, as they are certain to
treble and quadruple in the next few
years.-Herbert Vanderhoof In MIN

rhRoNos FILL CORN PALACE.

Large Attendance at MltcheIi's Annual
ExhlbItion-Deeorato Of the Build
Ing eurpasses All His Previous Ef-
! forts.
A vast throng of people assembled
IN the corn palace at Mitchell for the
opening exercises, which consisted Of
IN invocation by President Nicholson
81 the Dakota Wesleyan university and
the address Of welcome by Mayor O.
L. Branson. The Scotch Kilties band
played, and great enthusiasm was ex-
hibited by tho large audience.
The weather for the opening day
was ideal
The immense auditorium stands re-
splendent In its dress of corn. its tow
ers topped OF with wheat and oat
heads, the whole being q magnificent
tribute to the agricultural produc-
tions Of this great State of South Da-
kota. The decorations of the interior
of the building, the south and west
sides being covered, are superior to
anything yet accomplished by the
decorator-and he has decorated ev-
cry building since the inception of the
palace in 1892. Into figures intricate
In design has beeo worked yellow,
led, white. squaw and strawberry
corn, the shading of which Is a work
of art as the figure Is finished on.
Much of the decorations run to
strong contrast in colors, the red be-
ing mixed with the white and yellow
corn so as to make the combinations
striking. Diamond-shaped figures,
with Navajo effects, and squares and
blocks filled In with four-leaved clo-
yer, abound In great variety. 1t has
taken over two thousand bushels OF
corn, raised in Davidson county, to
decorate the building on the outside,
while a large quantity was used for
decorating inside the building.
One Of the big features Of the pal
ace consists of the county agricultural
exhibits, fourteen counties, represent
ing the central, southern and north
ern parts of the state, are shown.
The numerous varieties of corn are
handsomely displayed, and great va
riety of wheat, oats, etc., are shown,
while the native grasses are given
much prominence In the exhibits. The
grasses of the state are noted par
ticularly for their fattening qualities,
and the further fact that they will
cure on the ground in the late fall OF
the year.
The vegetable displays are remarka-
BILE in the mammoth size Of the pota-
toy and pumpkins. Much comment
is heard from the fastener regarding
the fruit display in the various exhib-
its, and practically everything that is
produced in the East is shown from
the Western farms. It is the mag
nificent displays Of these counties year
after year that has brought to the
Eastern people the full knowledge OF
the fact that South Dakota has risen
to a point Of prominence in the reck-
oning of the Western agricultural
states. The growing season has been
exceptionally favorable, with plenty
of moisture; in fact, in the southern
and eastern parts Of the state too
much has come in the last thirty days.
The yields of grain among the coun-
ties has been uniformly good, and the
granaries of the state are full to run
ming over.
The attendance during the week was
remarkably large, making this the
hopnor war for the corn palace.
