A STATE FARM
AT EUREKA
State Officials Create Another
Experimental Farm

Eureka Blade; A matter of con-
siderable Importance to Eureka and
the surrounding country was con-
summated in this city yesterday
when the state board of regents, in
session here, formally selected sec
tion 36, township l27, range 73. for
state experiment farm. Section
SO is school section adjoining the
city of Eureka on the east and is an
ideal tract of land for the purpose
for which it has been selected. The
matter of selecting the land for this
experimental farm was of such inn
portance that the regents made a
special trip here to personally in
spect it and to meet committee of
Eureka citizens selected at business
mems meeting who We're authorized
to offer inducements for the selec.
tion of this particular land. 1t is
quite probable that this section
would have been selected without
our people obligating themselves In
any way butt was thought of suffi.
ciont Importance to the town and
surrounding country 20 make the
offer they did, which was to buy and
donate to the state the four miles OF
fence incloslng the section and tC
break as may be required eighty
! acres of land free of charge. We
believe the business men acted wise
ly and well in making the offer they
did. While the farmers in this ant
neighboring counties will be the one
most benefited by an experimental
farm the town will profit thereb,
inasmuch as what tends to promot,
the general, productiveness of The
country helps to build the towns.

Oklahoma a State

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 16. The ad-
mission of Oklahoma to statehood
today was marked by a jubilation
throughout the two territories and
by Inauguration exercises, parade
and barbecue in this city. Gov.
HaskelPs inaugural address was ex-
tremely radical. He denounced
combinations that have fattened by
the unrestricted robbery of our peo-
ple." declared in favor of prison
sentences for offending corporation
officials, and announced that the liq-
uor prohibition law would be rigidly
enforced.

ONE BIG CROP IN
SUNSHINE STATE
An Asset Annually Worth Mill
ions of Dollars
The weather!


Such common subject that it is
seldom mentioned unless something
ver, unusual and entirely out of the
ordinary occurs in which event it
Is sheralded abroad. And yet it is one
of the most important features in
the development and prosperity of
an agricultural state.
South Dakota's proverbially fine
weather is one of the greatest ele-
ments in her marvellous pro-
gress. 1t is an asset that would be
considered very valuable in many
localities not so favored. And it is a
regular visitant some time during
each year.
This year it came in the fall,
when the agricultural interests need
ed it.
A late spring delayed the work of
gathering great crop, and the
scarcity of help increased the
obstacles. But the weather man
gave his approval by six or eight
weeks of the finest fall weather that
ever laid out of doors, and as a re-
suit an immense amount of work has
been performed. The big crops of
grains, hay, and all products of the
farm are now practically cared
for, and the farmers are getting
things in shape for the winter
months.
Do we realize the value, in dollars
and cents, to say nothing of innum-
cradle pleasures, of this states ex-
ceptionally fine weather? Perhaps
not, because it is a common thing.
But the man who undertakes to
manage big farm here would read
lily recognize it, if he were forced to
do his work under weather condi-
tions usually prevailing in many ag-
ricultural states, where the farm
work has to be crowded in between
showers and storms, and where mud
make hauling and driving fearful
task.
True. we have some cold and dis
agreeable weather in winterusual-
ly in January and FEBRUARY but how
many states can show the number of
good days for out door work that
South Dakota enjoys from March lst
to Dec. 1st each year?
Climatic condition, alone, perhaps
more than all other causes, makes it
possible for the South Dakota farm
er to successfully negotiate each
year from three to five times the
amount of farm work accomplished
on the farms of the great agricul-
tural states of the Middle West.

UNDER WHEELS
OFLOADED WAGON
Jacob Duckeck Fatally Injured
While Hauling Lumber

Last Wednesday Jacob Duckeck of
Alden twp. went to Orient for load
of lumber, returning towards even
ing. His load was placed upon the
wagon as usual, with box on top of
the lumber. When a few miles
from home the box began slipping
on the load. He stopped the team,
and stood up to adjust the box,
with his back towards the horses.
For some cause the team started,
and in the lurch he lost his balance
falling between team and wagon.
The load ran over his hips and
bowels. He got up and walked
some distance to a neighbor's and
medical aid was summoned by phone
to Miller and Orient.
The doctors examined him and
thought he was getting along alright
but the next day symptoms develop
ed showing serious internal injury,
and he soon passed away.
Jacob Duckeck was born in Polk
county. Iowa. May 2, 1868 and was
80 years six months old. He came
with his family to Hand county in
1885, and settled in the German
Lutheran colony in Spring twp, af-
terwards removing to Alden twp,
which became the family home.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Lutheran church in Spring
township. and the remains were
buried there. He leaves to mourn
his loss father and mother, brother
Stephen, and sister Maggie, all re-
siding on the farm.

Scalded by Steam

Pierre Capital. This morning
about 3 o'clock F. w. Bakeman of
Huron, a brakeman on a freight train
coming in here, was severely scalded
about the throat and chest. In some
way he got directly in front of the
engine, where it throws off steam
and water, and he received the full
benefit of the discharge. He was
taken to st. Mary's hospital at once,
and medical aid summoned. He was
able to be taken to his home at Hu-
ron this afternoon and left on the
afternoon passenger. Latest reports
say that he will recover.

The past two weeks of clear crisp

ed by the youngsters of the city in
skating on the artesian creek west

well as healthful, and it is source
of regret that there is no pond near
er the city. A movement has been
started to dam up the east end of the
old artesian lake and flood it from
neighboring hydrants.

WHY KEPT THERE?
Suggested That Broker

Why is Thomas r Martin kept in
the Mt. Hope sanitarium. near Balti-
more, Md. out Of the jurisdiction Of
the District Of Columbia?
This is q question that IS becoming
more and more .nsistent among those
affected by the spectacular insolvency
OF the real estate firm OF Martin
Bros. at 1926 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest.
And amid the general chorus Of the
questioning was heard now and then
yesterday the suggestion that action
might be taken whicis would result in
the removal Of Thomas R. Martin
from Mary land to this city.
Why This SecIusion2
Those who stand to lose money BY
the Martin failure say they cannot see
why Martin should be kept in the
sanitarium by his family. It is said
bv an employee Of the FIRMS Office yes

Martin appeared in the Office, the third
week in March, he was undoubtedly

/ is secreting him. and the suddenness
with which he has become mentally
