AT a meeting of the Clay and Yankton
county commissioners last week. the
company asked for an extension OF time
In which to finish digging the canal.
The commissioners refused to grant
this request and demanded that the
company fulfill their part of the con
tract to the letter, which means that
for every day that goes over April /,
h dredging company should pay the
counties S25 a day until the work is
completed. From this date II is esti-
mated that II Will require at least go
more DAYS to finish the big job,

UNIVERSITY DROPS
PREPARATORY YEAR

vermillion, s. D., April 1s.-An
n~ouncement has been made that the
first preparatory department at the
University of South Dakota here will
be dropped next year and the second
year preparatory work the year fol-
lowing.
This is a step that has long been
looked forward to. Since the popula-
ton of the state has increased every
town of any consequence has an ac-
credited high school, where this pre-
paratory work may be done, and the
leading state institution no longer
needs the prep school. This means that
the services Of the instructors who
have heretofore been obliged to spend
a great amount OF time with prepara-
tory students can now be had for work
of d muc higher standard and the
University of South Dakota become q
full college the same as the larger state
universities. President Gault expresses
himself very well pleased with this i'm
provement in the university course.

MAKES $500, 900
IN A FEW YEARS

Chicago, April 21.-A formal real estate
transfer just made In the routine of the
county recorders office revealed the story
of a Chicago minister of the gospel who
has gained a fortune OF $500, o00 during his
spare time from preaching. -Four years
ago he left Chicago with slender means
to nurse a daughter back to health. To-
day he is the owner of landed estates
and an exclusive metropolitan apartment
building.
The hero of this fairy tale of finance
and religion is the Rev. Richard a. Nor
ley, a Methodist Episcopal pastor who
was stationed for several years in Chi
cago and Oak Park churches. The story
transpired in the purchase by the minister
of the kenwood, the apartment hotel at
Kenwood avenue and Forty-seventh street
for 100000.
The Rev. Mr.. Morley, who is As years
old, was pastor of the Moreland church.
and later of the Sheffield avenue church
on the north side. Still later he was pas.
tor of the Euclid Avenue church in Oak
Park.
In 1904 the health of his laughter began
to fail and soon afterward he exchanged
pastorates with the Rev. a.. C. Geyer, on
Las Vegas N. NJ, whittier he went in
an effort To save his child from tubercu-
losis.
Shortly afterward Mr.. Morley purchased
a ranch a short distance from Las Vegas
at q tax sale. That was the beginning of
his prosperity. He bought more land and
sold 1t at o. large profit and within two
years was the owner of a tract known as
the Phoenix ranch. comprising 2,570 acres.
which he purchased for $1,000 This prop
erty is worth more than three times what
Mr.. Morley paid for it.
Then the minister branched out still
further. purchasing q 1000 acre farm In
Kansas near Kansas City. which is valued
at $4,000; two farms in Illinois, and one
In Wisconsin. And all the time he never
missed q Sunday In his pulpit nor a

the referee board of the department OF
agriculture, ordered to investigate the
wholesomeness or the deleteriousness
of foods and articles used IN foods, is
a legally constructed body and that
Secretary Wilson q ample authority
to appoint the board, is the decision OF
Attorney General Wickersham.
The decision means that the work of

Secretary Wilson referred the ques-
ton of the legal status of the board
to the attorney general, 1t having been
claimed tina the action OF the former
in appointing such a board was without
authority of law. because the duty of
examining foods was vested by con
gress in the bureau OF chemistry Of the
department of agriculture.
