is expected that the teams will go to work Monday or Tuesday next.
 This is the piece of levee work to complete which the Reclamation Ser vice was exerting every effort when the June floods came and drove the outfits out. At the time the work was thus brought to a standstill it was estimated that two weeks more would have found the lepee so far ad- vanced that the river would have been confined within it.

bankrupt. The order 10 show cause
Is returnahle before Judge Garland ON

next preceding the date OF the appii-
cetion the company committed an acs
Of bankruptcy, In that a receiver.
Charles A. Wiley, of Sioux Falls. was

1t is further alleged In the petition
that the receiver now remains IN

BUILDING UP UNIVERSITY.
Record Breaking Attendance Expected
Next Fall.

NGxI n HI.
President r. b. Gault is doing all
In HIS power to build up the state uni
versfty at vermillion. and It will be
no fault OF his II the beginning Of the
next school years does not witness the
largest attendance in the history Of
South Dakota's leading educational
institution
In the past two colleges have been
lacking to make the state university
what II should be. but as a result Of
an action OF the board of regents ihe
needs will be supplied by next fall. To
the college OF arts and sciences. coll
legs OF law and college OF music. will
now be added college of medicine
and college OF engineering.
Heretofore II has been possible for
students who planned on a medical
course to take their first two years
work at the university. This work Is
in the nature OF scientific preparation.
But II transpires that regular medical
schools will not accept the work OF
the university for the first two years
simply because of the fact that no
chartered college of medicine exists at
the institution To overcome this OBJ
stacie and TO give each student who
desires to remain here an opportunity
70 do work which W count college
Of medicine has keen authorized by
the board OF regents Eventually this
means that a full course IA medicine
will be given.

Canton Blaze Causes Twenty Thou
sand Dollar Loss.
The firecest and most destructive
fire In the history of Canton occurred
Friday morning during terrific
northwest gale. which carried burning
chunks OF wood from the Mutual
Lumber company's yard several blocks
towards the Sioux river. and even
across into Iowa.
AT 1880 the fire alarm was given.
and in a few minutes the entire upper
story of the big double shed of the
Mutual Lumber company was blazing
nifty feet high under pressure of 4
fifty-mile gale.
The firemen worked like heroes AMI
saved the Bowman Kranz lumber
yard across the street over which the
blaze rolled at times.
Burning embers set fire several
times and finally consumed the Mil
waukee pump house. on the river
bank. Ave blocks away At o'clock
the IRE was under control. but in one
hour and a half $4,000 worth OF
lumber and shingles had been con-
sumed.
Inc plaHofm oIsthe mHMhuhee u'-
pot and other railroad property was
on fire at times. but hundreds OF
watchers were able to keep the fire
from spreading while three engines
hauled freight cars out of danger.
The IRE was without doubt Of in
cendiary origin. The loss Is about
$40. 600: insurance, $4,000. @. L

musical and literary numbers of much
merit was presented, after which the
guests were shown through Voorhees,

is just being completed. The build
ing is a magnificent structure and is a
gift of Ralph Voorhees,. of Clinton, n.
J. 1t was erected at cost of $l15,-
600 and is one OF the handsomest,
most convenient and well equipped
buildings in the northwest. Tuesday
evening was the first opportunity the
public has had for examining the
building and hundreds took advantage
OF 1t. An event that somewhat married
the pleasure of the occasion was the
announcement OF the death Of Ralph
Voorhees,, the donor of the building,
which occurred at his home in New
Jersey day or two since. Aside from
this structure Mr.. Voorhees, gave TO
the college association what is known
as the Elizabeth Voorhees, dormitory
for girls, which was erected at cost
of more than $4,000. These build
ings are now In use. the attendance
OF students being something more
than zoo.
