The work of grading the remaining

swing, and is being pushed as rapidly
as hundreds of men and teams can
push It. It is stated that the contrac-
tors having one section OF the work
will have the grading between Nownn
and Philip completed soon, which
will give the tracklaying crew clear
sailing to a point just east OF the
Philip townsite. Three crews are at
work on the mile and one-half of UNI
finished grading between the Philip
tpostoffice and the townsite.
1t is confidently expected that all
grading east from Philip will be COM
pleted by May and that by that time
rails will be laid to Philip. making
everything complete for the running
of trains by the time stated.
Another appropriation made by the
legislature has given the authorities AZ
the state university great satisfaction.
This was the appropriation for ak
tending the improvements already be-
gun on East hall. the young ladies'
dormitory It will be remembered
that q sufiicient amount of money was
received from the insurance on the
old West hall to make somewhat az
tensive repairs on the other dormt-
tory. The addition made by the legis-
llature will enable the new building to
be carried up three full stories and to
provide in the new portion hospital
accommodations in cases of severe ILL
ness This has been an improvement
long needed and will prove q welcome
addition to the accommodation for
young ladies. When completed. -
lie will be early In September, the 40
commodation of East hall will be fully
doubled.
The school land lease books from
the different counties are all In. and
show that the leasing for this year
will bring a greater revenue than for
any fermsr year. Day county shows
the highest lease price for any single
tract at 50 an acre for one section Of
grazing land: and Brown county
shows the highest averages over tho
lease minimum set by the state board.
most Of the leases from that county
going at higher figures than the limit
ixed, and practically everything In
the county being taken. The lease re-
increased demand, and while q lot OF
1t was taken. there appears to have
been an agreement that there is YET
was no bidding higher than the mini
mum.
A dispatch from Pierre announce.
that the members of the new capitol

Saturday on a trip which will first
take them to the Black Hills. They
will inspect the sand stone of Ho,
Springs and other parts Of the Hills
Later they will go to Sioux Falls and
inspect the jasper OF that section A
suggestion is found In the Pierre dis
patch for the use Of Sioux Falls Jas
per for the basement story and tn,
: Hot Springs sand stone for the re-
mainder Of the building. This sugges
; ton Is all right. but 1t is the genera
impression that little IL any South Da
kota material will go into the new
building.
The people of Lyman county ar,
showing q desire to take advantage o.
: the new law in regard to range stock
and are circulating petitions in tina
county to present to the county com

The farmers are getting to be NOR,

OF the stockmen do all in their powe
to keep their stock from annoying

One of the examples of anti-rac
