AN AERoNAuTIC opTIMIsT.

Get ready to fly. Patrick Y. Alexan-
der, an English aeronautica expert
who makes frequent visits to this
country, has been in New York City
telling of the wonders which We shall
see before the close of 1909. He de-
clares that man will be flying in the
air without motor attachment. He
has found that man can lift himself
off the ground for an instant even now.
In experiments made by Lilienthal
with gliders, he was able, with l20
square feet of lifting surface, to raise
himself against 20-mile wind with a
so to 60-pound pull. There is no
good reason, he declares, why we
should have to employ powerful
motors to move us at high speed, and
he suggests that out of the air itself
means will be found before long to
utilize the latent electrical energy to
produce artificial currents OF sufficient
strength to support man in flying
machine, the same energy to be used
to drive the apparatus.
There are now 100 aeroplanes in
England, and 81 ,O0O,0O0is invested in
the aeroplane industry. Within a
year, as predicted by Alexander, there
will be so practical machines on the
market capable of carrying men over
Europe, with stops not m IRE frequent
than each 80 to 40 miles, and they
will travel as fast as any man may
want to CO. He expects to see an

NEW INVENTIONS PREDICTED,

First-Withiu the next twenty or
thirty years -and it will start within
the next two or three concrete ar
chitecture will take enormous strides
forward; there will rise up a large
number of gifted architects, and
through their efforts cities and towns
will spring up in this country beside
which Turner'S picture of ancient
Rome aud Carthage will pale into
nothingness.
Second : Moving picture machines
will be so perfected that the charac-
ters will not only move but will speak
and all the effects and accessories and
effects of the stage will be faithfully
produced on the picture stage.
Third In perhaps fifteen or twen-
ty years depending on he financial
condition of the country the locomo.
tive will pass almost altogether out
of use, and all our main trunk lines
will be operated by electricity.
Fourth "A new fertilizer will spring
into existence, containing large per-
centage of nitrogen. This will be
drawn from the air by electricity and
will be used to increase the arability
of the land.
Fifth All our waterpower will be
utilized by electricity to an extent
almost unthought of, and will be us
ed with great advantage, both in
dustrially and for railroads.
Sixth-A successful aerial naviga-
ton will be established perhaps for
mails and will achieve a sound,
practical working basis.
Seventh We shall be able to pro-
tect ourselves against environment by
the use of serums and things of that
sort SO that the general state of health
will improve and the average span OF

NEW SEED CORN TESTER

AL xandria, Jan. &C. +. Twdmley,
secretary of the South Dakota Corn
Growers association, passed through
Sioux Falls Friday night on his way
to the Iowa corn show that is to be
held at Ames, Iowa, January to 18.
Mr.. Twamley was appointed official
tester. He will Test the corn by new
method, and the result can be obtain
ed in from forty eight to sixty hours.
This is the machine be received the
gold medal on at Omaha for the best
seed testing device in open to the
world class. This is something new.
Mr.. Twamley is the first to demon
strate that corn can be germinated
and scored ut corn show in time to
give the exactper cent of termination,
and Iowa is the first state to adopt
this method in the history of corn

South Dakota can well be proud of

SOME of the North Dakota papers
are again raising hue and cry over
the matter of Minnesota grain in
spection. This has caused the Min
neapolis Journal to suggest that the
state of Minnesota should amend its
present law so as to allow represent
atives on tue board from both North
and South Dakota. The suggestion
is a good one, and it might, if put in
force, have the effect OF satisfying
those raising the cry. But there is
little, if any, merit in this demand for
different grain inspection. We be-
lieve Minnesota's inspection to be as
good as it can be made. Many think
that more liberal inspection would
result in higher prices. But such
result would not be attained.
Grain is bought too close to actual
value, and more liberal inspection
would only result in a lowering of
price to meet the difference in grade.
Wheat weighing 56 pounds cannot be
Increased in -four producing qualities
by arbitrarily declaring it to grade
No l. The mills pay price based
upon the milling quality. The same
principle applies to option contracts;
make lower grade of wheat fill a
contract by Legislation and the price
of the contract will be lowered to
meet the quality of the article allowed
on delivery. Barley is bought entire.

"rhe question of the proper regula-
tion of trusts is one of the most vaxa-
tious problems now confronting the
stare and national government. AT
this time, | urge upon you the enact
ment of law prohibiting, under
severe penalties, the sale OF com
modify by a corporation in one part
of the state cheaper than in another
part, transportation being taken into
consideration. Further, Industrial
corporations should be prohibited
from owning stock in other corpora
tious, and we should authorize the
fling of quo warranto proceedings to
dissolve any corporation, the majority
of whose stock is thus acquired by
a holding company"
The above taken from Gov. Vessey' S
message covers only a part of the
question, and the small part at that.
There is already such law as be
suggests, or something he attorney
general thinks is along that line as
that official has already instituted
suit against cline" lumber company
which attempted to freeze out an in
dependent concern by selling cheaper
in the same territory than it sold at
other points where there was no com
petition. But the law along that line
needed to greater extent is one that
will prevent line elevator companies
from raising the price of grain at a
point where Independent concerns
are located, and reducing the price at
points where no competition exists,
making the grain raisers of one
locality pay the cost of freezing out
independent concerns at some other
point. Such law as we suggest
would save greater amount in
dollars and benefit a greater number
of our people.

A GOOD YEAR

Welcome to the New Year, and may
it be as good for South Dakota as the
old year has been The state never
had better year than 1908, and our
people will be we'll satisfied If 1909
equals it's record. The health of the
people has been good, the crops have
been ample, prices have ruled high,
people have been well employed, and
general business has shown great ex-
pansion. During the year the popu
lation of the state has been increased
very noticeably, the increase being
variously estimated at from 10000 to
$4,000. More new land has been
brought under cultivation than in any
other three years in the states his
tory; the bank deposits have increased
and are now at the highest point ever
known, and the debt owed BY the
people of the state is at its lowest
point. improvement has been the
word every where, and the state comes
up to the New Year with ample rea'
son to feel that prosperity will run
bankfull for another year.-Argus

the grade given by the inspector is
never considered. There are just two
grades of flax raised in the northwest,

sold on its merits at very close to the

IT is again pointed out by rail
road authorities that widows and
orphans are large holders of railroad
stocks. This is probably true, but,
as an argument for higher rates to
pay dividends on more watered stock
to be sold to more widows and orphans,
the public would like to point out
that to be robbed for the purpose of
putting money in the pockets of
widows and orphans is none the less

THE CROP OF 1890.

The work of seeding the first crop
of pine cones ever put into the ground
ir, Wyoming is now being carried on
b. the government, under the direc-
tion of the forest service, at Pinedale.
About 100 bushels of cones are being
seeded, and so difficult has been the
work that each pound of seed secured
10 date has cost the government $8.
These seeds will be planted in
government reserves, and if they
germinate will result in full grown
pine trees between 1880 and 1890.
Here IS 1909 and the government
is lookir ,rward nearly hundred
years fol crop.
La this country 80 year leases of
ground are not infrequent, and in
England some 999 year leases have
recently terminated
Here we all are in 1909 putting in
crops of ideas and acts that will yield
a harvest some time in the distant flu
