WANTS NEW SCHOOL,.
But Will Have to Go to Legislature for
Special D~ispensation for Bondinq.

Armour, S. D., June D.-The matter OF
building a new school house in the city
of Armour this year has been shelved for
another year owing to the high price Of
material and the scarcity of the where
withal to build. The school district desires
to build a school with a seating capacity
of GOO pupils with all the latest improve
ments, lavatories, gymnasiums, baths,
etc. The bids ranged in price for con-
struction of school from 500, 900 to $50, 900.
The city this spring voted to issue bonds
for the purpose of building the school in
the sum of $1,000 which is the limit that
can be bonded.
The matter has been postponed for one
year and it is thought that the school
district will apply to the state legislature
next fall for powers enabling them to bond
for about $25, 200. With this object in view
school will commence this year. in August
that the school year may finish early and
give the builders a chance to commence
the erection Of the school at as early o
date as possible.

RAIN WAS ~oPPoRTUNE.
Dry Weather Has Prevailed Through
out the Week in South Dakota.

OdL hHC WIEN w SObL1 LdKOEd.
Huron, s. D.. June H.-The official crop
and weather bulletin for the past week
is as follows:
Aside from some light and scattered
showers on Friday. dry weather prevailed
during the week until Sunday, when, as
indicated by the latest reports received,
rain ranging from moderate to heavy in
amount occurred over all or tho eastern
portion of the state. The rain was accom-
panied by lightning and thunder. At
Huron, l.51 inches of rain fell during Sun
day and Sunday night. There was rather
more than the average amount of sun
shine during the week, excluding Sunday,
S~outherly winds prevailed much or the
time, and aided in reducing the excess of
moisture in wet low lands in the northern
portion of the state.
Moderately warm weather prevailed.
though some OF the nights were rather
the warmest days, during which period the
maximum temperature ranged from n
degrees at Castlewood, to 81 degrees at
Pierre. Minimum temperatures near, but
above 40 degrees. occurred Wednesday
night over the eastern portion OF the
state.
On the whole, favorable growing wealth
er prevailed. and the conditions were also
favorable for outdoor work. The rain Of
Sunday was opportGne for the southern
portion or the state, where the need of
rain was being felt.
A lumber of the remarks wherein the
need of rain Is noted, were mailed before
Sunday morning. and IL Is possible that
the showers which occurred On Sunday
Included most OF these localities.

CUTS INTO
The jim AT YANkTON
Waters of Big Muddy Rushing
Like Mill Race Through
New Channel.
CITY AND GAMBLE SAFE
No Danger of Old Town and Un'tec
States Senator Being Thrown Over
Onto the Nebraska Side OF
T~reacherous Stream.

Yankton, S. D., June 19.-The Mis-
souri, river has cut a new channel and
this morning the waters Of the Big
Muddy are rushing like a mill race
into the Jim river about siN miles be-
low Yankton, and each hour a deeper
channel Is being cut and there is now
no doubt but that in the future the
waters of the Missouri will be divided;
IL, indeed, the whole volume of water
will not take to the new channel anG
the old bed Of the river be entirely for
saken.
The Jim flows into the Missouri
about six miles south and east OF
Yankton, but just above the mouth IL
makes a great bend, the bend coming
within a mile Of the Missouri, and 1t is
into this bed that the Missouri has
cut. For q number of years the river
has been cutting its way through the
low land until when the June rise
came this year but a few roc remained
to connect the mainland in this county
with the 1900 acres of valuable land
on the peninsula between the Missouri
and the big bend Of the Jim. Farm
erS have watched the encroachments
of the larger stream for years but the
land had a strong gumbo subsOil anC
1t was not thought that the river would.
cut through.
The changing of the course Of the
Missouri makes a tract of some 1,4OO.
or 1900 acres of the most valuable lano
in The state into an island, anc
whether the river will be able to cut
out this island entirely is as yet a mere
matter of speculation. 1t is not
thought probable, however, and it is
believed that property and the large
herds OF stock in Lower Egypt" as
the fertile tract which is now an is
and has been named, will be safe from
destruction. The new island is owned
by Honest Abe" Van Osdel, a former
member of the legislature, and Ton
Ryan, but is leased to renters, there
being three homes on the island.
The ravages of the Big Muddy is an,
interesting sight. The people of the
whole town and surrounding country
for days have been watching the great
river resistlessly cutting its way
through the rampant of SAND and trees,
and when it finally accomplished its
purpose the great rush of water could
be heard for miles. The stream is now
but thirty or thirty-three feet wide,
but the channel is rapidly widening
and it is hard to predict the results
which may be far more widespread
than are at present dreamed of.
There are no grounds for the fear
expressed by some that the Missouri
may some day cut through to the Jim
above the city Of Yankton and thus
throw this old town over onto the Ne
braska side. The hills north and west
of Yankton preclude any possibility of
the river cutting through there. Yank-
ton and Senator Gamble will, there
fore, remain in South Dakota.

TWO PosToFFlcEs RAISED.
Rapid City and VermiIlion viii Be in
Second Class After July /.

Rapid City, S.. D., June 19.-Another
proof of the rapid growth of this town
is shown in the fact that the
ment has just been received from the
postoffice headquarters that the office
In this city has been raised to the sec
ond class. Although there has been
no doubt in the minds of the people
who have seen this growth that his
would come to pass, yet the actual fact
is very gratifying. The population
throughout the entire state is increas-
ing rapidly, and twenty-four towns
have been raised in the postofice de-
partment. Three of these towns, Rap
id City, Spearfish and Belle Fourche,
are in the Black Hills.
Vermilion, S. D., June 16.-Vermil-.
lion is now in the second class as a
postoffice city, or will be after July /,
when Uncle San viii take full charge
of the office, paying Postmaster Bro
sius for the fixtures, which have be-
longed to him since receiving the ap-
pointment eight years ago, taxi charge
OF office rentals, fuel bills, etc, pay
the postmaster an annual salary Of So
600, his assistant $1,000 per year, be-
sides an allowance of $1,000 for clerk
hire. AT the rate the business has
been increasing the past few years 1t
is only a question Of a short time when
Eermill!on citizens will be enjoying
free delivery service. The total amount
OF business the past year was some
thing over $4,000.
