PLANS FOR STORAGE
RESERVOIRS ON THE /,
BIG SIOUX RIVER

Pierre, S. D., July 16.-In the dry
Jears of the 'nineties'' Lake Poinsett.
h Hamlin county, went nearly dry, m
the people of that part OF the state
desired to dam the Sioux river to turn
the hood waters of that stream into
their lake to prevent its becoming %
swamp. h residents of the valley be-
low Poinsett put up a obJec-
ton to any such move and threatened
to take the ease into the courts If the
Poinsett people persisted in their de-
sire to steal the water which was want
ed lower dow along the stream.
Now the conditions are different, n
for several years efforts have been
made to get a congressional appropria-
ton to establish storage basins or h
upper waters of the Siou to hold the
epring floods to be utilized along the
lower river later in the season, but all
these efforts have met with failure.
Now people in Sioux Falls in their move
toward establishing a large power prop
ositjon, have filed with the state engi-
neer water rights at different points
along the Sioux river. two of them be-
ing at Lake Poinsett and at Lake Kam-
peska, with the intent to use them as
storage basins for the flood waters of
power late in the season, and to pro-
tect the farming lands along the val
ley from the spring over1ows. With
two large reservoirs on the headwa-
ters Of the stream, it is believed that
the control of the waters will give an
ample supply at all times of the year.

HURON LEARNS OF
ITS GREATNESS FROM
DIRECTORY MAN

Huron. S. D., July 17.-That Huron
is a city of lodges is shown by the
forthcoming edition of the Polk city
directory, the statement being made
that this city has more secret societies
than any other city in the state and,
too, has more lodges than has either
Sioux City or Omaha. A number of
railroad orders help swell the grand
total of secret organizations in Huron,
though the Masonic, Odd Fellows and
Elk organizations are the strongest.
According to Folks method of COM
putation, Huron has a population of
$500, placing it In the same class with
Aberdeen, Watertown and Mitchell, far
ahead of Pierre, Redfeld and Brook
ings, and next to Sioux Falls, the lead
ing city of the state; 2,4S0 names will
appear in the directory and the popu-
lation estimate is made by multiplying
this by two and one-half.
