100000. One Of them is to run from
Kristiania to Trondhjem through Gud-
brandsdalen. This is to have branch
line running from Domaas through
Romsdalamt to Aandalsnas. A third
line is to run from KristiaDa to
Kragero, and this will be part of the
"Vestland' railway, which is to follow
the coast. Finally, new line is to be
built in Nordland. If this general
plan is adopted by the storthing the
exact location Of some of the lines

the localities directly concerned.

The coming wool shipments from the
northwest, tits conservatively estimat-
ed, will exceed all previous records by
many million pounds. This is owing
to the fact that the tlocks are IN SPLEEN
did condition and are shearing nine to
ten pounds to the animal. a portion
of the increase has been caused by the
operation of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul extension, which reached
Miles City a few weeks ago. The sheep
industry has also been helped by the
new weol warehouse which the COM
pany has caused to be at Miles City.

Murder Still Mystery.

A further investigation last week OF
the body found on Bad river near Fort
Pierre indicates foul murder and the
states attorney or sheriff Of Stanley
county at Fort Pierre would like in
formation of any missing man who is
known to have been in this part Of the
county within the past few months.
While all the flesh had fallen from the
skull, making Identification practically
impossible, the bullet hole back of the
right ear, and a 38- calibre ball in the
skull shows what was the cause of
the death. From critical examination
Of the skull and teeth the age of the
man is placed between thirty-fve aud
forty years, most Of the teeth gone, one
filled with cement filling, about six
feet tall, weight about two hundred
light hair. He wore good suit of black
worsted; white shirt with black stripes,
detached cuffs, number nine shoes and
WOODEN socks. Not scrap of paper
was found on the body, the pockets
most of them, having been turned in
side out. A cheap open faced watch,
and small pocket mirror with stock
picture on back was all found on the
body. Today blue cloth cap which
was bought Of Appel Clothing COM
pany, Aberdeen was found lying near
the place wi,oie the body was found,
and is supposed to have belonged to
him. It is hard to say how long the
body lay in the thicket, and impossible
to tell within several weeks when the
crime was committed.

State Treasurer's Report.

The monthly report of the state
treasurer for the close of business on
May 81, shows the effect OF payment OF
general fund warrants, and warrants OIL
the capitol building fund, the total in
all funds for that date being $715,5S7
Out of this Ss2S6,O25 is in the income
fund of the state land department, and
will be distributed among the schools
of the state on the 18th of this month
The capitol building fund has been re-
duced to s94,525, but as large amount
of the capitol lands will be upon the
market this month, it will likely go
above one hundred thousand again.
The Irvine plant fund continues to in
crease, being up to Sl67,552, but as this
can only be used for operating ex-
penses, and the plant is not ready to
operate, it cannot be used. Only $11,.

Hundred Dollars Per Capita.

In the past few years the bank de.
posits in South Dakota have crawled
up to approximately one hundred dol
lars for each resident of the state, and
while there has been decided increase
in population for the past year, the de-
posts have beer practically keeping
pace with this increase. and remain
somewhere near the one hundred dollar
mark. che showings of the banks both
state and national at the time of the
last call for condition in March, give
individual deposits to the amount of
$536SG,SS5. There are far greater
number Of state banks than nationals in
the state, and while the nationals carry
greater deposits for each bank than
the average state bank, the states hold
by far the largest amount of deposits.
That class Of banks show up with S34,
l25,956 at the time of the March call, an
increase Of nearly three million dollars
from the date of the December call
The nationals with $l9,560,929 showed
a decrease Of a million and third dol
lars for the same time, leaving net
gain for the state of about a million
and half. While the state has for a
number Of years held the record OF the
states of the Union for the greatest per
capita production of new wealth, it is
also holding its own in its bank de-
posts, they they keeping step with the
creation of new wealth, and making a
good showing both for the banks and

convention of suffragists held in New
Orleans in 1908, Mrs. Merriek shared
with Miss Anthony all the honors.
Mrs. Merrick was a figure of interest

was during this meeting that Miss
Anthony was stricken with the Illness
