grees below zero and the ground bare
of snow. The seed was scarce as the
season was late, but he secured enough
for a good test. IN response to a
question as to the ucces OF the alfalfa
in this country, Professor Hansen
said:
"No one can say that it will succeed,
but have every reason to believe that
it is Just the thing for the cold, arid
regions OF our northwestern wheat
growing country, and that it will prove
a Profitable crop to alternate with other
crops. 1t will endure any degree OF
cold or drought and the soil of its
native country is very similar to our
wheat-growing states. We hope that
this seed will prove all we expect Of it,
but there is no use Of expecting too
much. / confidently hope we have
secured the right thing and that it
will solve the alfalfa, clover and some
other pressing problems in northwest
ern prairie agriculture"
Professor Hansen says that Siberia
is very similar in part to our north
western states, and that it is being
rapidly settled and developed. At the
time he made the trip owe the Siber-
ian railway the road was loaded to
excess with returning soldiers from
Manchuria, and settlers going into
the new country. The new settlers are
a very good handwriting class OF
people, the most Of whom come from
Russia, where conditions at the present
time are very unsettled.
Regarding the dangers OF the trip,
Professor Hansen said: sit was a
rough, adventursome trip, with polit-
ical and social conditions very unset
tied. Personally, | have always found
the Russians a hospitable, courteous
people, who have a great friend
ship for America and Americans.
The trip was not an easy task, but
l found the plants whose existence
suspected nine years ago, and it is a
great satisfaction to feel that in all
probability it will advance northwest
ern prairie agriculture, and especially
in the newer regions OF the western
Dakotas.
"The fact the department of agricuI-
ture has directed the lions share OF
these seeds to be tested under the di-
rection of the South Dakota expert
ment station makes a strong argu-
ment for the movement that is now
strongest in our agriculture-the re-
claiming of every foot of tillable land
west of the Missouri river, clear to the
west line OF the state. This will
necessitate the establishment OF several
substations for the development OF dry
land agriculture west OF the Missouri
river. With the great mass OF splendid
new material now secured, it behoOves
South Dakota to take up to the fullest
extent the work of carrying the farm
ing belt far westward"

GOES
TO WASHINGTON
Aubrey Lawrence Has Important
Case in u. S. Court

Assistant Attorney General Aubrey
Lawrence left Saturday night for
Washington, d. c., where yesterday
he appeared before the United States
Supreme Court on behalf OF the state
of South Dakota in the case Of the
State vs.. Jay Delameter. The case
against Delameter is for violation OF
the state liquor law, which provides
that a travelling solicitor selling
liquor in less quantities than five
gallons must take out a license. The
case against Delameter, who is an
agent for a St. Paul liquor house,
was first brought in Potter county.
The state won out there, but the liquor
house carried it to the state supreme
court as a test case, and was again
defeated. Then they appealed to the
supreme court at Washington, and
the case came up for hearing yester-
day. The other liquor houses doing
business in this state came to the aid
OF the st. Paul house, and the de-
PENDANTS were represented at Wash
ingtOn yesterday by a firm OF Gin
cinnati attorneys, said to be one of
the best in this country. II Aubrey
wins out against this combination,
and his friends here believe that
he will, it will add greatly to his
already good reputation as an attorney.

TO STRA|GHTEN
BIG SIOUX RIVER
Property Holders Meet and Organ
lie Development Assn

A meeting Of the farmers and owners
Of property along the Sioux river west
of this city, was held at the court
house Saturday afternoon. The meet
ing was called to devise ways and
mean for the Strengthening of the
Sioux River in this county, and the
meeting organized itself into an
association to be known as the Sioux
Valley improvement Company. The
following committee of five was
selected to go over the ground and see
what can be done in the way Of help
and money from the property owners
along the river: w. IL. II. Phillips,
Thorkel Knutson, II. X. Halvorson,
r. IL. Williams, Cornelius Trygstad.
This committee will make its report
at a meeting to be called later in the
year.
The Sioux river, especially in its
course through this county, runs
through a very crooked and shallow
channel and this it is believed is
largely responsible for the flooding of
the adjacent lands the past few years.
The river with its present winding,
shallow channel is utterly unable to
handle the water which flows into it
in the spring and it spreads owe the
surrounding lands. On account of
the low, flat nature of the land it
remains all summer and for the past
four years the farmers have been
unable to work on an average more
than half Of their land. About fifty
sections are effected and it is estimated
that the loss to the farmers OF Brook
ings county alone the past four years
has been $3.50, 600.
Prof. H. NJ. Deer, the new head OF
the civil engineering department at
the college, wa present, and when the
situation was explained to him he
gave it as his opinion that the plan
was a very feasible n and could be
carried out at a moderate cost. The
soil along the river is loose and rather
sandy, without any rock, and there
will be no difficult engineering feats.
IL is estimated that the course of the
river could be shortened nearly
twenty-five miles in this county alone,
by cutting q new channel where the
river varies from its curse to the
