UNCLE SAM MAY LOSE BUILDING.
Fine Federal Property Is Bought at
Tax sale.

The controversy over the recent sale
In Sioux Falls for taxes continues to
attract attention. The question now
is, will Thomas Seaman, a wealthy
Sioux Falls capitalist, succeed in Sc
curing control of the building as the
result of having bid In the property at
q tax sale.
Friends Of Mr.. Seaman jOkingly
state that he has not fully determined
whether, when he ecure possession
of the building, he will transform It
into an Office building or consent TO
rem 1t to Uncle Sam rather than turn
the old gentleman out into the street.
The building involved in the unique
controversy was erected at a cost Of
$175,000. Some time ago the city
Gil ordered East Twelfth street graded.
The government building is situated
on the corner of Twelfth street and
Phillips avenue, with a frontage of
about $50 feet on Twelfth street.
When the special assessment for the
improvement was made a part of the
taxation records the matter was laid
before the department of justice at
Washington by the custodian Of the
building. The department promptly
turned down" the assessment, main
tanning that government property was
not subject to taxation of any charac-
ter.

GRIDIRON THE STATE.
State at Present Is a Center Of Rail
road Construction.

Although North Dakota for many
years has witnessed great activity in
railroad building, it seems at present
to hold second place to South Dakota
in that respect. South Dakota for sew
eral years apparently did no appeal
to the railroads as a country TO build
into, but several Of them are endeay'
oring to gridiron the state with as
many rails as possible.
At least three roads are tapping
South Dakota thoroughly, and all of
them have direct connections with ST.
Paul. Two of the lines are cutting
across South Dakota on the way to the
Pacific coast, and it Is possible that
the third has some such intention.
From present activities it looks as IL
as many transcontinental routes may
run through South Dakota as are now
through North Dakota.
The railroads now building In South
Dakota are tapping extremely rich ag.
ricultural lands. Part of 1t is located
in the so-called bad lands, much OF
which has turned out 10 be excellent
for farming.
What Is being done in railroad build.
Ing In South Dakota is shown in the
new time folder just issued by the Min
neapolis g. St. Louis. II gives in red
ink the line which 1t Is building west
of Watertown, involving the construc-
ton of $50 miles Of new road. The
extension straight westward Is about
100 miles to Scranton. but a branch Is
to be built from Condo to Leola, a dis
lance Of about 20 miles. The new lines
tap an exceptionally good country. as
Is evidenced by the fact that eleven
new elevators are being built at one
town where the railroads have not
yet been laid to. The branch line from
Condo runs through Aberdeen.

Aberdeen will have a $4,000 club or,

The preliminary steps have been taken
by Gen. S. H. Jumper and Charles
Howard. The principal object of the
proposed club is to make A~berdeen's
growth, rapid as 1t Is and has been,
even greater, both industrially and In
population, and to use every legiti-
mate means to bring the population
up to $1,000 before 1910. In order to
do this, a systematic campaign Of ad.
vertising will be entered upon and a
committee will inform itself regard
ing the many advantages Of Aberdeen
and get busy in the dissemination of
this information. 1t Is planned also to
adopt a plan OF advertising in order
that capital seeking Investment may
be interested and induced to locate
here. A mass meeting will be held
next week, when the new club will be
organized and officers elected.

Brookings, s. D., July 7.-Of most
general interest perhaps Of all the work
In the state agricultural college in this
city is that in horticulture and forestry.
Indoors may be seen what is usually
found in a city greenhouse. But be-
sides the ferns and carnations may be
found what is wholly distinctive-plant
breeding. The process is always going
on, but the p~ainstaking labor seems re-
paid If now and then is found some
delicious fruit of frost and draught-
resisting qualities; for such plants are
a boon to South Dakota.
Already much has been done. Here
cherries and plums from the arid and
semi-arid regions of the United States,
other fruits from far Siberia. 1t is the
object to fix upon the hardness of
such stock the luscious qualities of the
cherry or berry of more favored regions.
About fifty acres are used by the
department. Perhaps half of this is
occupied by thick set groves, forests at
the threshold of their majority. In an
other section is an orchard of apples
and plums, bearing abundant fruit.
Then there are the Strawberries and
other small fruits and many rows of
experiments which change from year
to year as success or failure comes.

The Buildings.
Following either the main drive or
the main walk one comes first to the
Central building, the first to be erected
on the grounds. 1t was built in accord
ance with the act Of 1888 establishing
the college and was occupied in the
fall Of 1884. OF three stories and base
ment, it contains the library, presi-

rooms.

For a quarter of a century Dead
