Dean Nealand, theatrical
manager who was born in the famous new
York town. As you know, Troy is the
center of the shirt. collar and cum in
dustry in the United States. Most of the
girls are employed in the factories. They
earn four and five dollars day. which
is big money for a woman to make and
the factory girls of Troy dress in the
height Of fashion. In fact. it is said that
the onlyway by which a wealthy girl can
distinguish herself from the dashing fac
tory girls is to wear plain clothes. The
girls dress strictly for comfort when at
work, but as soon as the days labor is
finished they repair'to bathrooms in the
factory buildings which are furnished with
all modern conyeniences and have women
attendants. Their ablutions over. they is
sue forth In stunning array. When they
come to work in the morning they also
wear their elegant toiettes and exchange
them in the dressing rooms for their
factory clothes. Troy is often visited by
theatrical managers in search of chorus
girls and many dazzling stage beauties
are taken from the factories there.
Strange to say, the 'cholly boy is almost
unknown in Troy. There are four girls
to one boy and the girls are independent.

Northwestern Announces Extension
of Gregory Line.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
way has filed with the secretary of
state resolution of extension of it's
Gregory county line thirty-one miles
in 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 it's 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 a low water
state late in the fall, and the work
will be carried on through the winter.

MUST FILE ARTICLES.
Supreme Court Makes Ruling Affect
ina Foreiun Corporations.

The supreme court, in the case of
American Copying company VS.. Eu-
reka Bazaar company, in an opinion by
Presiding Justice Fuller, holds that no
action can be maintained to enforce
any contract entered into, or recovery
be had in South Dakota by a foreign
corporation unless such corporation
has previously complied with the stat
ute requiring it to file a copy of it's
articles of incorporation with the Sec
retary of state, and appoint resident
agent upon whom service of process
may be made.
This case is one of widespread i'm
portance, touching on all business
transactions of corporations without
the state with business firms or indi-
viduals within the state. Many cor
porations have complied with this pro-
vision Of the statute, but hundreds
who do small amount of business in
the state are affected by it, as we'll as
are some Of the more heavily interest
ed who either do not know Of it's pro-
visions, or knowing, have failed to COM
ply with them.

lNTERURBAN FOR FARMERS.
Railway Will Haul Grain and Estab-
Iish Supply Depot.

If a franchise can be secured, an in.
terurban railroad will be built by a
syndicate already organized for that
purpose. The matter was submitted
to the city council of Aberdeen last
fall and is now in the hands of spe-
cial committee. AS no report has been
made, the promoters will send COM
munication to the council urging
speedy action.
Those interested in the proposed en-
terprise are all local men. some of
whom are farmers. All the details OF
the new road have been completed
with the exception of the motive pow
er to be used. The plans include the
construction Of track some ten
miles from the city, the direction to be
determined by the farmers from whom
right of way privileges will be re-
Quired. At the temporary terminus, a
signal station will be established, and
from that point, the tracks will extend
into the country as the demand re-
Quires.
The syndicate promises to haul
grain to Aberdeen for cents a bushel
and save the farmers 2 cents, besides
the cost of elevator storage. A CEN
trail bureau will be established
through which farmers can order sup
plies and have them delivered without
having to come to town to purchase
them.
AS submitted to the city council, the
franchise provides that the city can
acquire possession at any time by
purchase.

"DOPED" WHISKY is FATAL.
HaIfbreed's Death Is Laid to His
Daughters Suitors.

John Campbell, half-breed, indus
trious and wellto-do. living on his
farm mile and half from Peever, is
dead as a result, it is claimed, of
drinking poisoned whisky admins
tered by two white men.
Campbell has two daughters, and 1t
is said that the white men called at
his home for the purpose of making
love to the girls. Their mother was
absent, but Campbell was at home,
and the men, considering him in the
way, are alleged to have tried to get
him drunk. The whiskey he took did
not work fast enough to suit the white
men and, it Is charged, they "doped"
it. Campbell soon lost consciousness
and never woke again.
The coroner had his stomach re-
moved and sent to the Minnesota uni
versity for investigation. In the mean
time the suspected white men are be-
ing kept under surveillance, but no ar
rests have been made.

The figures for the year 1905 have

The largest sales so far made are
71,466537 board feet from South Da-
kota, 6S,255,916 from Wyoming and
5,327,443 from Utah. South Dakota
also leads in the sales of wood for fuel,
with total of 29,S44 IL cords; Ari-
zona followed with 16,649, and Colora-
do made third, with 1925 IL. In re-
gard to the sale of posts and poles,
Montana ranked first, with $500, fol
lowed by Wyoming and Colorado The
largest timber sales were made in Wy
oming, where the amount involved
was $143,894.81; South Dakota came
second in the timber sales, with a
value OF $78,953.24; Colorado third,
with $23,937.07. Total sales for 1905

TO MAKE IRRIGATION TESTS.
Government Experts Are to Expert.
ment Near Belle Fourche,

Work has begun on the government
experimental farm, located two miles
northwest of the government townsite,
near Belle Fourche. Raymond F.
Walter, the engineer in charge of the
large irrigation project, has received
instructions from the department OF
agriculture to commence plowing and
to get the ground In readiness for put
ting in a crop. Charles S. Scofield, an
irrigation expert, will have charge OF
all experiments under irrigation, meth
DDS of using water and duty Of water
E. G. Chilcot will have charge Of the
dry landed experiments.
The soil of this farm is chiefly gum
bo, and anything raised successfully
on this land can be raised profitably
by farmers at any point included in
the irrigation project. The expense
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 it's 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
ground will be subjected to the iden-
tical conditions as those which prevail
to the government farm.

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
$25, 900 year, and diverts the cattle
shipments through this city; the
leasing of lands for pasturage pur.
poses worth $4,000 year to the In
dians, while before that change went
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.

showing in trying position. and re-

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

their homes. There has been consid-
cradle damage to crops, but the per-
centage OF loss cannot be estimated
until the water subsidies.
