That the San Francisco fire ana
earthquake losses have had a very
decided influence upon the money
market is shown by the bond pur-
chases that were made at the meet
ing of the Woodmen head managers
recently held in Denver. At that ses-
sion $4,000 of the equalization fund
was used in purchasing Missouri
county bonds which netted AIS.
According to A. d. Stillman, head
manager, these bonds would have
gone for 4.3O few months ago. and
the advance is attributed entirely to
the stringency caused by the Frisco
disaster.
within the past few months" said
Mr.. Stllman, "the netting in the bond
market has advanced an average Of
about 20 points the same being due to
the enormous amount Of money n
ed by the insurance companies 10
meeting their losses"
PendletOn Bonds Good
| But while the bond market is nov
stronger than a few months ago, Mr..
Stillman says no difficulty should be
met with by this city in disposing Of
the street paving and levee repairing
bond issues which must be made
shortly.
1t has been estimated in the pasi
that the street paving bonds would
draw per cent as they will be re-
deemeble after one year and run for

ion 6 per cent bonds will readily sell

CARNEGIE HELPS A COLLEGE.

Word has been received from Presi.
dent H. K. Warren Of Yankton COL
lege, who is in Chicago, that DR.. d.
X. Pearson has accepted all of the
financial papers submitted to him by
the college president, and that he has
agreed to give dollar for dollar for the
100000 which DR.. Warren has raised.
This means that Yankton college will
receive 100000 In all.
For two years DR.. Warren and other
friends of the college have been try
ing to raise $4,000 against a like sum
promised by DR.. Pearson, but the eff
fort proved impossible. DR.. Warren,
somewhat discouraged, went to Chi.
cago to lay the matter before DIR.
Pearson, feeling from past interviews
that failure would be the result OF his
mission.
Apparently, however, the philanthro.
pist realized that the friends of the
institution had done their best, and so
agreed to set aside sum equal that
Cor which pledges had been secured.
The money will be placed at the dis
posal OF the college authorities on
June 80.

The apportionment was made on the

shows an increase Of 1900 in the
school population. The census of this
year will be used as an apportion-

counties of the state.
The old settlers selected as officers
for the ensuing year: President, P.

w. H. Frost Of Fort Pierre; secre-
tary-treasurer, G. W. Richardson of

WINTER WHEAT.
Farmers Experimenting In Gregory
County.

Farmers Experimenting In Gregory
County.
G.. f. Silerl, farmer living south
of Gregory, is making experiments this
season in the raising Of winter wheat,
which as yet has not generally dis
placed spring wheat in this and o-her
parts of Gregory county. Siler has
forty acres sown in winter wheat. He
reports that it is as pretty field of
grain as can be seen anywhere in the
United States. The grain has adj
vanced quite. rapidly, and now is head
ing out, being much farther advanced
than the spring variety. Siler's expe-
riment is in the nature of test, and
If the wheat Is ready for harvest be-
fore the customary dry season comes
it may become the future wheat crop
of Gregory county. The claim has for
several years been made that winter
wheat is the proper crop for South
Dakota especially the southern part,
and that If farmers generally substi-
tute 1t for spring wheat their crop
will mature earlier and before it can
be injured by dry weather. Siler's
experiment will demonstrate whether
or rot these claims are based upon a
good foundation.

DRAINAGE LAW TEST is LIKELY
South Dakota Petitioners Carry Cases
to Courts

to Courts.
It now seems almost certain that
the drainage bitches petitioned for in
Clay county will not be granted. Al
ter granting the one known as the
Irene ditch, the county board finds
that the assessment levied was not
high enough, and, according to the
law, second assessment cannot be
made. 1t will require about $500 to
finish the work, which has not prog.
ressed far as yet. The Clay county
ditch, after being considered several
months, has been knocked out by the
joint boards Of Clay and Yankton
counties. The joint board will meet
to consider the Gayville ditch in July,
and the understanding is that this will
meet the same fate as the Clay Creek
ditch.
The petitioners for the bitches can
carry their case into circuit court, and
then on up to the supreme court, but
1t is hard to see how they can gain
favorable decision, in view of the
present law.
The whole question hinges on
whether or not the construction OF
drainage bitches will be conducive to
the public health. convenience and
welfare. There Is no law which will
allow the county boards to order
drainage bitches to preserve sanitary
conditions. The fact that the land is
covered with water and is useless for
farming purposes does not suffice. The
Clay Creek ditch petitioners argued
that the very fact that water stood
on the lands was sufficient evidence
that stagnation and unheaithful condi-
lions We're sure to prevail. Counsel
for the defense argued that because
the land was wet it did not necessarily
follow that the public health was en-
dangered, and, unless this could be
shown conclusively, the commission
ers had no legal right to order the
bitches constructed.
The expense of constructing the
bitches petitioned for would be heavy.
Aside from digging the ditch, land
owners would have to be paid for
their land. In the Clay Creek ditch
alone c'cims aggregating $4,000 were
fled
Lawyers do not agree as to the con-
stitutionality of the South Dakota
drainage law. But the majority seem
to believe that the law is sound
enough. If a question should be raised
and the supreme court should decide
that the law is unconstitutional, then
the point might be raised as to who
should stand the expenses already in
CURED in having surveys and other
work done. If the law is all right,
then the petitioners will have to dig
up"

LONGEST RIVER TO BE SHORTER

Thin Bar Of Dirt Separates Missouri
From Its Tributary.
The James river, the longest I'M
navigable river In the world" as the
biographies have It. is now or very
soon will be some five 1liles shorter
than 1t was, owing to the meeting OF
the James and Missouri rivers that
distance above the mouth Of the first
named river. 1t is really remarkable
how the narrow isthmus holds out
against the onslaught Of the two riv-
ers. 1t Is now possible, and yester-
day q reporter for this paper did it.,
for person to take a position on all
that is left Of the neck, and dip one
hand into the Missouri, while the
other laves in the warmer and clearer
water Of the James. This condition
of affairs is not likely to last much
longer, as in two places already the
Missouri is pouring through with an
immense rush into the lower water
level Of the Jim" Careful inspection
of the locality leads one to think that
instead of great flood of the lower
James, the change will simply mean
new mouth for the river. the least
five miles standing good chance for
being nothing more than slough If
this surmise is correct the Missouri
will occupy its old channel, and there
will be no damage done to speak Of
