COURT IN SESSION.

Judge Marquis opened the June
term of court at the court house
Tuesday morning. There is quite a
number of cases on the calandar, in
Guiding several criminal cases and
the term will probably continue until
the latter part Of next week. The
first case taken up ON Tuesday was
that of Levi Bemis vs. Patrick Killa-
lea, q land case from Elkton, in which
the jury found q verdict for the de-
fendant. The Johannes Engelbrecht
VS.. j. G. Bclte case, from the south
part of the county, lin which the
plaintiff sued to recover for some
plowing done, was also decided in
favor of the defendant. These two
cases occupied the time of the court
Tuesday and Wednesday and this
morning the drainage case from Sinai
was taken up. In this case l.. f..
johnson brings suit against about a
dozen farmers near Lake Sinai for
draining the water from their land
into the lake, claiming that 1t over
flows and damages his property. 1t
will probably take all day to complete
the case. The court granted final
naturalization papers to- Chas. Hard
ing and Thos. Brown Of Brookings.

TO "FOOL SOLDIER" BAND.

A dispatch from Aberdeen says that
under the auspices of the state Of
South Dakota end the Walworth coun-
ty Old Settlers association, there was
dedicated near Mobridge Wednesday
q monument to commemorate the hero
ic behavior of the Fool Soldier" band
of Indians, who, in 1862, rescued the
women and children taken from Lake
Shetak, Mimi, to the point where the
monument was dedicated, by a band
of hostile Indians. Repeatedly, in the
years that have gone by, efforts have
been made to induce congress to
recognize the deed of the Fool Sol
der band, as they were termed in
derision by their fellow tribesmen, but
without effect. Finally, T. G. Orr,
Of Brookings, succeeded in getting the
state legislature to pass an appropria-
ton to erect a monument to the band
on the site where the recovery was
made.
The monument dedicated Wednes-
day is plain shaft OF rough granite,
upon which Is inscribed:
Shetak Captives
Rescued Here
November, 1862,
by
Fool Soldier Band.
The monument is erected in the
center Of five-acre tract, which was
purchased and will be kept in order
by the Walworth County Old Settlers
association.

Iowa. This splendid building, erected
in the county seat of Henry County,
Iowa, at a cost of more than 100000,
was the gift of Mr.. Geo. Seeley. The
story connected Herewith is an in
teresting one. Mr.. Seeley had at his
disposal about $4,000 left by young
er brother, who, at the time of his
DEATH requested that the money be
invested in some public enterprise for
the good Of the county which they
lived. Mr.. Seeley considered various
projects such as library, hospital and
college endowment, but finally after
three years Of investigation decided
to put the entire sum into Y. M.
C. A. building, believing it would best
serve the entire county The above
building is the result. In two years
since it was opened it has served not
only as center for the boys and
youths and men of Mount Pleasant,
but for men of the country around as
we'll All the usual lines of Y. NJ G.
A. work are conducted and in addition
farmer Institutes, manual training for
the boys, domestic science for women
and other things of general public in
terest center in the association build
ing. What this building is doing for
Mount Pleasant we may reasonably ex.
pect the new association building in
surrounding country. 1t will naturally
become center for wholesome activi-
ties along many lines. The work with
the younger boys and those of high
school age alone would more than
justify the outlay contemplated.

industrial parade. participated in by
all of the business institutions of Alb
erdeen, and it is estimated that a
crowd of 25,000 were present to wit
ness it. The Brookings band led one
section of the parade. In the after
noon the Homecoming program was
held at the opera house, the speakers
being Col. Orr, Governor Vessey, Geo.
A. Mathews of BroOkings, and others.
The second day was a repetition of
the first so far as entertainment and
amusement there being ball games,
band concerts, airship ascension and
carnival shows, and there was much
larger crowd than on the first day.
The last day was South Dakota
Day." and it was a great finale to
the Homecoming. The big industrial
parade of the first day was repeated,
and another interesting program car
ried out at the opera house. What
was really the most enjoyable part
of the Homecoming was the meeting
of thousands of former Dakotans, who
reviewed the days when they and
the state were young.
Below we print in full Col. Orr's ad-
dress on the first day. in which he
gave his Dream of the Homecoming:

HAWAIIAN TOBACCO
BY JARED G. SMITH

of a series Of investigations carried on by
the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station
under the direct auspicies and at the sug-
gestion of Hon. James Wilson Secretary
of Agriculture. The results of these expert.
ments have been published in the Hawaii
station bulletins and reports. 1t is enough
to say that tobacco of both the Cuban and
Sumatra types, Of good texture, elasticity,
color, aroma, body and burn. and especially
burn, can be grown anywhere in Hawaii
where soil and climate conditions are cor.
rect, and II is estimated that there are at
least 10000 acres of good tobacco land in
this Territory.
The Kona Tobacco Co. Ltd, was incor-
porated in May 1908, on a modern basis of
capitalization, and has commenced work at
Keokea in South Kona on the Island of Ha
wall. The first crop harvested in December
81, 1908, amounts to so bales of 100 pounds
each. II is estimated that the 1909 crop
will approximate 1000 bales.
Two othe" companies are in process of
formation; so that the outlook for tobacco
in Hawaii is good
The types of tobacco which grow best in
Hawaii are the Cuban and Sumatra. tropical
tobaccos. The Sumatra type of wrapper leaf
grows especially well in the forest loans
at the higher elevations especially in Kona
and Hamakua.
In Hawaii the wages paid field labor are
from 81 cents to $l.00 gold per day. In Gu.
ba wages are paid In silver dollars worth
fifty cents. In Sumatra the wage unit is the
Mexican dollar. worth about fifty cents.

occasional dry days for picking. The lint

as y and inches in length and cotton
experts on the mainland have pronounced
II superior to that produced in the Sea
Island belt of Florida and Georgia. The
Caravonica cotton which is hybrid be-

produces larger amount of lint of shorter
staple and somewhat greater strength. We
are now planting Egyptian cotton which
produces a brown lint. These three types
of cotton find ready sale on the mainland

cents pound and the prospects for cotton

Even thu rapid extension of algaroba is
not sufficient for this purpose although the
recent perfection of the mill by Mr.. Re-
near for grinding the algaroba bean will
add greatly to the feeding value Of this
product. Corn, alfalfa, soy beans, rice

A THE present time there is an un-
~ usual amount OF interest in the
development of the numerous lines
of agriculture. in which Hawaii promises
to occupy an important position in the
future. Among the many lines which now
give promise It may be well to call atten-
tion to few which are of peculiar inter-
est.
The experiments begun two years ago
by the Hawaii Experiment Station with
cotton have yielded results far more fiat
tering than could have been anticipated in
advance II appears that cotton will grow
well in great variety of situations, both
on the windward and leeward sides of the
Islands and at low and re atively high
levels The amount of rainfall actually
required by cotton is very small indeed. In
some places cotton trees are now growing
without care and without rainfall, except
for an occasional Kona storm. As a rule
from twenty to fifty inches of rain will
produce larger plants and a larger yield.
On the windward side of the islands rain
fall of ninety inches is also very favorable
