WOOL SEASON GOOD.
Yield is Large and Prices High and
Growers Satisfied.

Portland-The Oregon wool season
of 1909, which has now been brought
to close, has been one of the most
successful in the history of the state.
The yield was large and the price high,
and the growers are entirely satisfied
with the result. 1t has also been q
profitable year, 80 far as it has gone,
for the dealers.
The wool clip of Oregon this year
netted the farmers of the state about
$4,000, 900. They have also received
very good prices for their mutton,
sheep and lambs, and are altogether in
as prosperous condition as the farm
ers in other parts of the state who
heav devoted their energies to raising
grain.
1t has been an ideal year for the Ore
gon sheep men with the weather right
at every season to produce the best re-
suits. AS consequence, the output
was larger than it has been in recent
years and the quality was better. At
the same time there was. a sharper de-
mand from buyers and prices were
higher.
The quality of the wool was excel
lent. 1t was of better staple than last
year, though of heavier shrinkage, ow-
ing to the dry spring. The average
weight of the fleeces was placed at ~
pounds, the heaviest average ever
known in the state. The wool sheared
fully one pound to the fleece more than
it did last year.
The highest price paid during the
season in Eastern Oregon was 20 cents,
which was realized on part of one
clip at Shaniko. The larger part of
the best grades sold between 20 and %
cents. Some securing wools went at
13 cents, and other coarse grades NOV
ed at prices up to II cents. For the
clip, as a whole, the average price was
abpout 1871 cents.

Marshfield-Captain Peters, who has

Oregon at work in Coos bay, has re-
turned from Portland and announces
that the dredge is to be removed in a
week and taken to the Columbia river
for repairs. The work started here is
as yet uncompleted, but the efforts of
the people to keep the dredge here
were fruitless. 1t is quite likely now
that the port commissioners will build
a dredge of their own.

A FEW FIGURES.
In Regard to the Number of New
Settlers This Year.

A partial estimate of the number of
people who during the past summer,
have entered the country contiguous
to the Black Hills, may be gained from
the Northwestern statistics on this
subject issued on August 1st of this
year. Up to that time there had been
brought in from the east over the
Black Hills division by way of Chadron
66O full car loads of household fur
niture and other supplies necessary fer
the establishment of the numerous
farming enterprises throughout this
district. Every car load means that
at least one family has entered the
district and these families may be con-
servatively estimated to consist of four
members. making q total of 2640
persons who are scattered through
western South Dakota. These figures
are for full car loads only, and there
have been innumerable partly filled
cars Of household goods, that probably
represent the property of an equal
number Of immigrants.
Over the Pierre line of the North

timating the total in the same way,
this means that 2l6s persons have
entered that country and to them
must be added those who brought less
than full car loads Of furniture and
other supplies with them, putting the
number of new settlers in that district
for the present year at close to 5000.
Since the first Of August, it is es-
timated by railroad officials that at
least 100 full GERS of household effects
have come in over both the Pierre line
and the road by way OF Chadron, so
that the grand total of new settlers
may he placed between 10000 and
10000

fallow, with thorough cultivation until
freezing up time. With the rainfall
we have here, 1t Is advisable to crop
every year. Wheat takes the least
moisture to mature of all other small
grain. The largest yield Of wheat comes
from following corn, and the necessity
of crop rotation was thoroughly demon
strated. Great stress was laid upon
the use OF the harrow after the small
grain was up, all Of the experiments
ors shouting harrow, harrow, harrow.
The production of alfalfa held very
conspicuous place on the program and
is considered by all writer's, to be the
best paying crop we can raise. We
have been conceded by all alfalfa ex-
perts of other states, to have here in
western South Dakota the ideal land
for the production of alfalfa without
irrigation. 1t is owing to the fact OF
our basic soils and climatic conditions.
Our rainfall in western South Dakota,
for the last twenty years has an average
of Sl.6l inches. That is sufficient
moisture to produce any kind OF crop.
Our failures we owe to our mode Of
seed bed preparation and it's cultiva-
tion.
l shall report to you later moro
fully on this subject of seeds, grains,
bed preparation, etc. wish to thank
you for your appointment as your
club delegate and for the good that [
derived from the meeting, am

HARDER TO PROVE UP
Uncle Sam is Drawing the Lines Tight.
er on Final Proofs.


Homesteaders are urged to live ON
their claims ii they want to hold and
make proof ON them. Some recent de-
cisions of the Alliance, Nebraska, and
other land offices seem to make it still
more difficnlt for the careless home.
steader to hold claim and make hon
est proof
A lady's homestead entry was can
celed recently in Nebraska, at the
time of proof on the ground that "be.
ing absent from the lend to make a
living, did not constitute residence.
Now then, there are hundreds of home
steaders who are absent from their
claims the greater part of the time, on
the grounds that they are "making a
living"
This is dangerous risk to run, and
will cause all kinds of trouble when
final proof is attempted. The only
way for great many to make proof
will be to declare that they have not
yet been absent from the land and get
two witnesses to swear to the same.
Another stickler comes in here, the
land offices will not issue receivers re-
ceipts Immediately on making proof,
as formerly, so We are told, but proof
will be hung up until an inspector
goes and makes and investigation of
conditions. This will be hard on the
fellows who have not built shacks that
horse could live in or who are not lat
home" once month. It used to be
that q homesteader could put dry
goods box out on his claim, go out
there two or three times in the four
teen months and then prove up, but
this is not what Uncle Sam wants at
all. He wants actual settlers, and as
result Of recent investigations and
the laxity Of many in their residence
and cultivation on the government
land, the lines are being drawn tighter
than ever.
This is right. No man or woman
should take up HON stead unless
they mean to live thereon and do just
what the government intends shll be
done.

COLLEGE AT CHAMBERLAIN.
New Catholic College to Be known as
the Columbus College.

The Rev. G. E. O'Flaherty is in tho
city this week in the interest of
Columbus College, the new Catholic
college which was opened at Chamber
lain last week. The group of build
ings now known as Columbus College
were purchased from the United
States government few months ago
by Bishop O'Gorman and the knights
of Columbus. A faculty of learned
and experienced professors WAS secur-.
ed from Chicago; and the place opened
as q Catholic college October 25th.
The college is ideally located on the
east bank of the Missouri river about
one half mile north of the city Of
Chamberlain. 1t consists of several
modern brick buildings designed by
the federal architect at Washington,
d. c., and furnished with the most ap-
proved modern appliances in plumb
ing, heating, ventilation and fire pro-
lection.
Regular courses are given in the
commercial, high school and collegiate
departments. Columbus College is
being conducted by the clerics of st.
Viator, body of Catholic educators
who at one time sent delegation to
inspect the vacant Methodist College
building here with view to purchas-
ing ii and starting one of their colleges
at Hot Springs
While these men are Catholics, they
believe that the instruction to be given
in their colleges should be absolutely
non -sectarian. They eliminate from
lectures and text books everything that
might be interpreted to reflect in any
way upon the religious beliefs OF the
student body.
Columbus College admits only young
men and boys. They are all required
! to reside at the college, They may not
leave the grounds without special
permission from member of the
faculty The discipline is not strict,
but the college authorities aim to give
the boys the same care and protection
afforded in every we'll regulated home.
This college may be easily reached
from Rapid City by the east bound
passenger on the Milwaukee railroad.
1t is the only institution of the kind
in the state Of South Dakota.
