Business Men VIII Appeal to LesIs'
lature to Establish Bureau Of I'm.

migration.
The forthcoming session of the
South Dakota legislature will be call
ed upon to wrestle with the propo-
sition of establishing a bureau of i'm
migration that shall be equipped to
advertise the states resources and to
show the advantages it offers to the
h~ome-builder.
The last legislature took one small
step in the direction, having provid-
ed for the appointment of a commits
sioner of immigration, but constitut-
Ing him also ex-officio secretary of the
State Fair association. The legislature
failed to appropriate more than a
mere bagatelle for carrying on the
work OF the commissioner.
Not since the territorial days, when
p. F. Mcclure, now a banker at Pierre,
was appointed commissioner of immi-
grafton through the grace of a Demo
cratic governor, who, in turn, was Sc
tected by the president of the United
DldCcS, lids JHeIG DctH any systematic
effort, so far as the state government
Is concerned, to set forth the re-
sources of South Dakota. Several at
tempts have been made to revive the
office and place it upon its former
plane, but, as a rule, these efforts have
met with strong opposition from the
rural members, who usually predomi-
aate in number.
Because of the activity Of real es-
tate men and the commercial clubs of
the larger cities, plans have been
maturing for besieging the legislature,
which c%onvenes next month. Already
many members-elect have been pledg-
ed to support the measure providing
Cor the bureau of immigration.
Upon the supposition that the legis-
tature will act %favorably, several can.
didates for the office Of commissioner
have been uncovered.

Federal Men Plan to Save Wet Val.
lev Lands.

County Commissioner w. E. Eye Of
Centerville, has received a copy Of
plans drawn up by government sur
veyors who were sent here on request
TO suggest a method of retaining the
Vermillion river valley. The plans
proposed a total expenditure Of $117,-
900, or an average Of 1851 for each
Of the 1928 acres. But it is promis-
ed that the improvement will add $50
an acre to the value of all the lands
affected, amounting to an increase Of
$500, 900 or more.
The plans divide the territory into
ifteen 'levee districts" between each
Of which a levee is proposed, running
from the river to the bluff, thus cut
ting off the river from each district.
To relieve each district of local water,
sluice or flood gates are planned, with
local bitches wherever needed. The
channel requires Strengthening at four
places along the river.
S. H. McCrory, chief of the field
party, estimates that 80 per cent of
the valley land is too wet to cultivate
and half Of this amount is swamp. The
discharge of the river at the mouth is
shown to be so large as to require a
channel three times the size of that
10Y found In the river. Steps already
have been taken to make the improve
ment in district No. 8.

ELY WITCH MAY GO

Manager Bamberger Had Talk
With Smelling Magnate
Last Monday.
EXAMINATIONS OF PROPERTY
Two Have Been Made Recently
Late Developments OF Highly
Gratifying Character.

When Daniel Guggenheim was in tho
city last Monday, he had a conference
with Ernest Bambergcr. manager OF
f the Ely Witch mine at Ely, New, and
while neither has gone on record as
saying that the subject discussed had
1 to do with the reported sale OF the
Witch ground to the Guggenheims. it
As believed. nevertheless, that such was
the case.
The White Pine News of Ely is au-
thority for the statement that the Ely
Z Witch properties have been subjected
recently to no less than two cxamna-
tons by engineers supposed to repre-
sent the GugSea1heim, or Nevada Con-
solid;lted- Cumberland Ely interests.
81 THE first report, declares the Ely
2 afsart, was unfnvorab BILE to the proper
&ty. Following its going cast. however,
4high-grade ore was struck In the bot
tom or the WiTch SHAFT. Shortly there
inter another examination was made
of the mine. by experts other than
those who conducted the first eSamin-
alton mentioned. The report resulting
from the second examination Is under
stood to have been favorable, although!
there is no authentic Information in
this report The demand coming from
indicate sthutt findings We're satisfactory.
The second report would have had just
about time to reach the east and be
read there Undoubtedly important
things for Ely Witch depended upon
the tone Of this report and the manner
OF reception given it. at the mine there
has not been time as yet to allo@ of
following up toSfuIDrtant extent deyel-
3opnent of the orc found in the shaft,
but it is said that the outlook there is
very favorable.
lf5 course 1t is possible that the pre-
sumption that approach of an assess
.ment would operate to bear the stock
rather than advance it, may be wrong.
One local company controlled by Boss
ton interests made such a move early
in the year with result Of jumping its
stock rp, but there We're unusual con
.ditions attendant of which there Is no
evidence us yet in the case of Ely
