ENORMOUS HARVEST
CONGESTS TRAFFIC
Railways Can Not Haul Away
Cars Loaded With Wheat
That Fill Sidings.
RUN "GRAIN SPECIALS"
Crews Working Night and Day Try
ing to Prevent B!ockade-Big
Crops Caught Farmers
UnPrepared.

Watertowl, S. D., Sept. l9.--The vol
ume Of wheat movement in the north
west half of the state this early in the
season is without q precedent. me 1t Is
safe to say that the South Dakota crop
of 1906 will establish a record for wheat
raisin. countries.
The sidings at every station west or
WATERFOWL are filed with loaded cars,
Doland alone reporting fifty cars waiting
transportation. The railway companies
are doing their best to prevent a block
ade and are working extra crews night
and day, running grain specials TO
the eastern market centers. Last
nights evening passenger passed four
of these special rains in the short run
from Redfeld to WATERFOWL. Reports
from Milbank tell of the same conges-
tion on the H.. e. d. division of the Mil
waukee road, while the elevators in the
new towns on the Minneapolis and st.
Louis extension TO the Missouri are be-
ing filled to bursting and Will hopelesSly
congest traffic on that line for some
time after the line is opened.
No great rise in the price of wheat
from q corner in the market is at
tracing his grain directly from the
machines in such unusual quantities,
but a sudden realization on the part of
the farmers of the enormous bumper
crop that they have raised and not pro-
vided for in the way of new or enlarged
graineries has compelled them to rush
the overflow to market. Many have
erected temporary ~storehouses in the
fields, finding it impossible TO secur
enough teams to haul it to town at this
time, while many others have been
compelled to pile their grain on the
ground.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER
Assyrian Held at Sioux Falls For Way
laying His Chief.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 21.-As the
result of a vicious assault made by
Francis Salem upon Abe Sawyer, a
Sioux Falls business man, the former
is in the county jail with the serious
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit murder standing against him.
Sawyer is the official head of the AS
syrian colony in this city, while his
assailant is a member of the colony,
and prior to coming TO Sioux Falls he
resided at Mankato, Mimi, where it is
said he assaulted q brother with a
knife.
Salem waylaid Sawyer while the lat
Ter was on his way home late at night,
springing from the shadow of a build
ing and attacking him with a scant-
ling from which several nails pro-
truded. Fortunately for Sawyer he
caught sight of the descending scant-
ling in time TO spring aside, otherwise
his head would have been crushed by
the force of the heavy blow. The blow
intended for Sawyer's head struck him
on the left arm, rendering 1t useless.
Salem raised the scantling for another
blow, but Sawyer, Notwithstanding that
his left arm was powerless, grappled
with him. Salem was able TO break
away and make his escape for the time
being, but il was not long until the
county authorities had him in custody.

WATER RATES REDUCED.
Sioux Falls People Will Get Water
One-Third Cheaper,

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept. 19.-As the
result of a hearing before Judge Car
land, of the United States court in this
city, an order has been issued grant
ing authority to J.. H.. Purdy, of Pitts
burg, Pa, receiver of the South Dakota
Water company, which owns a water
works system in Sioux Falls. to reduce
the rates charged by The company
33 1-3 per cent below the rates which
the company has heretofore charged.
The reduction of the rates charged
by the company is an outgrowth of
several years litigation between the
company and the city, the company
striving to prevent the completion of a
municipal waterWorkS system. The
municipal system now is abou ready
to be placed in operation.
1t will be remembered that the re-
ceiver of the Waterworks company
about September l issued an order re-
ducing the rates in the percentage
stated, but Judge Garland, who at the
time was presiding at a term of United
States court at Deadwood, set aside the
order on the ground that the receiver
was without power to reduce the rates
without application to his court, by
order of which the receiver holds his
DOSitiOn.

CHOOSING BUILDING SITE
Inspector Looking Up Location for
Uncle Sans Building.

WATERFOWL, S. D., Sept. 20.-Thomas
Appleton, superintendent of construc-
tion CT United States government
buildings, spent Saturday and Sunday
in the city inspecting the sites offered
Uncle Sam for p~ostoffice purposes. Ten
sites were offered the government,
three of them being for only 81 apiece,
though at private sale they would each
bring from $4,000 TO $4,000. Although
Mr.. Appleton gave no hint of his de-
cision, the general opinion is that his
choice would fall upon either the cor
ner of Oak street n Codington ave-
nue., across from Company II monu-
ment in the court house square, or on
the corner of Kemp avenue and Elm
street, a half block east Of the pres
ent quarters of the postofice. Both
of these are dollar locations.

BEES HOLD
EHectually Prevent Opening Of Term in
Black Hills Country District.

Belle Fourche, S. d., Sept. 19.-The
busy and intellectual bee has effectual-
ly prevented the opening of school at
Snoma, and the small boys of the land
are rejoicing at the enforced vacation.
Snoma is a little country district and
when one of the school board went over
to the school house to see if everything
was in readiness for the opening of
school he was surprised to find a swarm
of bees had located in the doorway and
refused to live elsewhere. II. NJ.
Stearns, a farmer near there, took them
to his place and hived them there, but
they refused to remain and hurried
back to the doorway of the temple of
learning. 1t now remains to be seen
who will be victorious in the contest,
the bees or the school board. In the
there is no school.
