]. J. Hooper of Ashland, has
announced his candidacy for
state superintendent of public
instruction, and so far is the onlv
candidate from the northern por-
ton of the state The position
of state superintendent of public
instruction is a very important
one and the legislature gave re-
cognition TO this fact when it
raised the salary of that office
from $500 to $4,000 per year,
at the same time making the
term of office four years instead
of two. and providing that the
election should occur in the
spring instead of at the regular
fall election. The evident inten-
ton of these changes was to at
tract the very best talent from
among the members of the edu-
cational profession, at the same
time taking the selection of this
official out of politics as much as
possible and placing it on a par
with judicial elections, which
are likewise held in the spring

marshal shows total loss in
the state the past year, outside
of forest fires, as $3,6O5, 40,
and causes of the fires are given,
making it interesting reading.
Carelessness caused more fires
than any unpreventable cause,
and poor workmanship in in
stalling electric wires and in put
ting up stove pipes adds largely
to the list.

HOME FOR CONSERVATIVES TO BE
SITUATED ON BEAUTIFUL
SYLVAN LAKE

1t is announced by the state board of
charities and corrections after a trip
over Custer county that they cannot
find location for the new state san
ltarium for tuberculosis patients, that
was placed there by the last session of
the Legislature, for the unusual rea.
son that there is not any available
and. They found that practically all
of the county is in the forest reserve
lands reserved by the government and
that they cannot find in the occasional
tracts homesteaded any that could even
be considered for the home. Accord.
lngly they are proceeding 20 select a
site in the government land, and will
ask congress to appropriate $40 acres
for the purpose of the home. It is
planned to locate the home near Sylvan
Lake, the most beautiful spot in the
Black Hills, a district prolific of fine
scenery. The altitude will be $500
feet, just the same as the new camp
for consumptives established in Colo.
rado by the Woodmen lodge. 1t will
be necessary for the home to have a
considerable amount of tillable land, on
which to produce feed for stock. Pat
tents in such sanitariums must be Civ.
en- gread deal of milk and eggs, and
because it will be located in the heart
of district Of government land, feed
for milch cows will command a pro
hibitive price. The legislature allowed
$4,000 for the first expenditures in
tho construction of the building fol
the camp. The board, however, ex.
poets to appoint the superintendent in
the near future, that he may begin .
campaign of education, such as is car
ried on by the superintendent of the
Iowa home, before it was opened al
Iowa City.

MAY SHOWN TO BE WET MONTH
Precipitation in South Dakota Was an
Inch hove Recnrded Nnrrnol


The United States weather bureaus
summary of weather in South Dakota
for May is reported from the weathe
bureau at Huron as follows:
The weather was on the whole cool
er and wetter, and there was less sun.
shine, than is usual for May. The tenn
cally all districts, and the precipita.
tlon, part of that in the northern and
Black Hills counties being in the form
of snow, was generally greater than
usual. No injurious frosts were report.
ed subsequent to the 10th. Brisk to
high winds were frequent. A maxi.
mum velocity of sixty-two miles an
hour was recorded at Pierre, Hughes
county, on the 5th. There was less
than the normal amount of sunshine.
The mean temperature for the state
as whole was about l degree below
normal. The maximum temperatures
occurred on the 4th or 5th at the ma
]ority of stations, and ranged from SO
degrees at Elk Point, Union county to
IS degrees at Lead, Lawrence county
Compared with the records of nineteen
preceding years, there have been five
with lower mean temperature; eight
with a higher maximum, and none
with lower minimum temperature in
May.
The precipitation averaged over an
inch above normal, and was in excess
of the normal over nearly all counties.
The greatest excess was in parts of
the Black Hills district, where in
places the total monthly amounts ex-
ceeded twelve inches. Compared with
the records Of nineteen preceding years
there have been only three in which
the average precipitation in May was
greater.'
