A resolution for the investigation Of
Senator Gamble was adopted by both
houses Saturday and a committee was
appointed from each house with in
structions to investigate and report on
Monday.
The live stock interests of the state
are getting to the front with the bills
which they desire TO have enacted,
n of them being Ellerman's bill In
creasing the annual wolf bounty APP
preparation from $4,000 a year to $15,-
600.
Another bill has been introduced by
Hare of Pennington, who wants all
bills of sale of live stock to be ac-
k~nowledged before a proper certifying
officer, the intention OF the bill being
to prevent the giving of bills of sale
for stolen live stock.
The fee bill for the office of secre-
tary of state, which was introduced by
Foncannon, is in line with the recon-
mendations of Secretary Wipf in his
, annual report. The fees for filing ar
ticles of Incorporation, for domestic
corporations or for examination and
filing articles of foreign corporations
range from $40 for corporations with
a capital of S 5000 and under to S25
| for corporations with a capital of from
$50, 900 to 500, 600, with an additional
| 50 for each $4,000 over the last
named amount. All fees generally for
the department are increased. At the
rate in which corporations are beng
filed under the laws of this state the
, increased fees will bring a decided in
creas in the revenues.

WHITE BREAD
Makes Trouble for People with Weak
Intestinal Digestion.

A lady in a Wis. town employed a
physician who instructed her not to
eat white bread for two years. She
tells the details of her sickness and
she certainly was a sick woman.
"In the year 1887 / gave out from
overwork, and until 1901 l remained
an invalid in bed a great part of the
time. Had different doctors but moth
ing seemed to help. I suffered from
c~erebro-spinal congestion, female trou-
BILE and serious stomach and bowel
trouble. My husband called a new
doctor and after having gone without
any food for 10 days the doctor or
dered Grape-Nuts for me. l could eat
the new food from the very first
mouthful. The doctor kept M on
Grape-Nuts and the only medicine
was a little glycerine to heal the
alimentary canal.
when | was up again doctor told
me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day and
no white bread for two years. I got
we'll in good time and have gained in
strength SO | can do my own work
again.
My brain has been helped so much,
and | know that the Grape-Nuts food
did this, too. I found I had been
made Ill because l was not fed right,
that is l did not properly digest white
bread and some other food l tried to
live on.
81 have never been without Grape
Nuts food since and eat it every day.

Over $50 merchants attended the
tenth annual convention of the South
Dakota Retail Merchants association,
which met at Mitchell last week. The
Importance of the meeting was aug
mented by the action of a Chicago
catalogue house which has sought to
enioin the association and its officers
from participating in any effort calcu-
lated to destroy or embarrass the bust
ness of the catalogue house. The
business men are greatly aroused over
the situation, and claim they will
stand Loyalty behind the o GERS to see
them through with the case against
them.
In the discussions that took place in
the meetings it was the aim to temper
the remarks so that they would not
embarrass the officers.
The address of welcome was deliv-
cred by Mayor o. l.. Branson and the
response was given by p. f. Wickham
of Alexandria. President Grimm ap-
| pointed the members of the five com
| mittees. The convention was the most
important of any ever held by the as
| sociation. The second days session
was devoted mostly to an executive
meeting. In the evening the dele
gates we're entertained at a smoker in
the club rooms of the Commercial
league and a number of impromptu
| speeches were made.

Assistant Postmaster General De

FOR FARMS FOR EXPERIMENT
State Board OF Regents Of Education Urge Need Of T akina Up
Dry Land Problems.

At the recent meeting of the board
of regents of education, held in Pierre.
the board adopted the following reso-
luton IN regard to arid land expert
ments:
The newer regions of the North
west presents numerous problems in
dry land agriculture. This causes an
imperative demand for more work
along experimental lines. Carefully
conducted experiments save much I'M
necessary loss of time and money to
those who go into these regions to
make new homes, and to develop the
agricultural resources.
TO assist in the solution of prob
lens in dry land agriculture, a series
or chain of far western experiment
stations has been established in every
state from Texas north to Canada,
with the exception of South Dakota.
In South Dakota, the experiment
station at Highmore has done and is
doing a great and highly important
work in testing forage plants and
cereals for the upland prairie region
oSNNS1I VIC JulllCS anu MISSOURI NV
erS.
within the last two years the open
ing up to settlement of the immense
tracts of land lying west from the Mis-
souri, river and the extension of the
farming belt into this undeveloped sec
ton makes it highly advisable to fol-
low the example of our sister states,
and establish at least two new trial
stations, one for the northern and one
for the central portion of this section.
The railways now building west from
Evarts and Pierre will make access
easy to these proposed stations.
Section for Each Station.
THE stations should consist of one
section of land each, and the sites
mould be selected by a committee
from the agricultural experiment sta
ton at Bookings, appointed by the
regents OF education, the choice to be
approved by them and confirmed by
the proper authorities. These sub
stations should be under the manage
ment and control of the experiment
station at B%rookings, but it is neces-
sary that the state provide funds for
their maintenance. An initial appro-
priation of at least $4,000 is required
for each station, with $4,000 for each
year thereafter.
The United States department OF
agriculture already has c~o-operated in
the tests without irrigation at High
more, and by conducting tests under
irrigation at Belle Fourche. A small
appropriation for further extension OF
tests without irrigation as outlined will
aid greatly in solving the new prob
lens now pressing for solution.
Increased interest at this particu-
lar time attaches to this movement
from the fact that Prof. N. b. Henson
of the South Dakota agricultural col
lege recently has returned from a six
months trip Of agricultural explora-
ton for the United States department
of agriculture through Northern ELL
rome and the entire length of Siberia,

WOULD MODIFY ANTI-PAss LAW
Real Estate Dealers Oppose Sweeping
Legislation.

The State Retail Dealers associa-
ton. in session at Pierre, evidently Is
not a strenuous advocate of the anti
pass law so far as it may affect their
business. They are willing the state
officers and politicians should pay fare,
but when it to homeseekers,
they believe that the pass is the thing
to assist in building up the state. They
adopted the following resolutions:
"Whereas, The State of South Da-
l5ota has lust entered upon a season of
great prosperity. new settlers are COM
ing in, new enterprises being lnstllu-
ted and new projects for the better
ment of all industries within her bor-
ders being exploited; and,
s'Whereas, II this development the
railroads of the state are a most I'M
portant element and transportation Is
and can be a most potent aid, not only
to the real estate men, but also to the
advance agent of new Industries ana
to settlers who decire to see our lands
and the opportunities offered by the
state, therefore, be it
"Resolved, BY the South Dakota
Real Estate association that the legls-
lature of this state be and is hereby
memorialized and requested by this
body, in framing and enactlng any law
prohibiting the issuance of free rams
portation by the railroads within the
state. to confine the prohibition to
state officers, political committees and
their families. Be it further
.'Resolved, That our senators and
representatives in congress be and
hereby are memoralized and requested
to do all in their power to amend lne
federal law in this regard so that 1T
will stand in accord with this princi-
pie. And be it further
"Resolved, That each member OF
this association do all in it's power
with the senators and house members
from his individual county to cause
them to support this request, and h a
a copy hereof be handed to the govern
or of this state, and to the presiding
officer of each branch Of the leglsla-
ture and to each of the United States
house Of representatives from this
state"
This action, with that of the editor
ial association of the state, shows n a
the railway transportation problem is
causing different ideas to float about
than those which have been so preva-
lent the last year in regard to the mat

For Trial In Similar Regions
in the Northwest. The United States
department of agriculture has directed
a large part of these lev introductions
TO lie tested under the direction of the
South Dakota experiment station, and
the state should make it possible to
eNtend the work into those regions for
which they are primarily intended.
The recent discoveries in plant breed
ing also make it good public policy to
extend the agricultural experiment
work into the newer regions of this
state. The rapid increase in popula-
ton makes it imperative for the State
of South Dakota to do it's share in
promoting dry lane agriculture, which
is destined Ito be of the greatest eco
nomic value in developing the re-
sources of this great commonwealth.
"Therefore. be it resolved, That the
attention of the legislature now in ses-
sion be called to the urgent necessity
now existing for the establishment of
such experiment substations, and that
it be asked to set apart at least two
sections of land, one of which shall be
located west of the Missouri river near
the railway extension now being built
west of Mobridge, and the other near
the line of the North Western railway
now being extended west from Pierre;
and
BE it further resolved, That a copy
of this resolution be furnished to the
proper committees of the senate and
the house of representatives, and they
be requested to prepare and introduce
a bill for the purpose of carrying out
the recommendations herein made"
