were considerably reduced immedi-
ately after she first of this month by
a call for all the outstanding general
fund warrants amounting to SITE, 900.
The money for the call was secured
from the general fund collections,
and the transfer of $135, 900 from the
Irvine plant fund as a loan. After

tors an opportunity to look over it
before taking further action. The
adjournment was taken with the un-
derstanding, that when the body re-
convenes all sections of the bill that
senators do not desire to reserve for
further amendment shall be agreed to
en- GLloc. The senate will consider
the tobacco tax, the only amendment
not adopted in the committee of the
whole. When that is disposed OF
senators will offer and votes will be
taken on numerous amendments they
have reserved to be acted upon when
the bill in the parliamentary sense
shall be in the senate.

ROAD BED NOT LOCATED.

The question Of just what country
will be covered by the new extensions
of the Milwaukee line west of the
Missouri in the northern part of the
state is shown in the official state
ment by the road that the new line is
to be: Beginning at a point Of con-
nection with the main line of said
company as now constructed, imme-
diately west of the Missouri river
bridge, in the county of Dewey, state
of South Dakota, and extending in a
|southwesterly direction to a. crossing
Of the Moreau river; proceeding
thence southerly and southwesterly
up the valley of Virgin creek to the
plateau in township ~ north, range
Fl east; thence in a westerly direction
along or near the north line Of Arm
strong county and said line produced
through the counties of Dewey, Arm
strong, Schnasse, Meade and Butte,
to the west line of Butte county, all
in South Dakota. The estimated
length of which line is approximate
ly 215 miles. Thus read the articles
presented for filing with the secretary
of state. They are working on this
line now, but are also working on an
other line north of that branching
off from the same line, running west
of a point due from Evarts. With
this building the Milwaukee will have
four lines across the state west of the
Missouri river. No one has dreamed
of any such development in the north
west portion Of the state. The st.
Louis is bound to build too. That
will make four lines of railroad en-
tering the territory to be opened for
settlement in the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne reservations. No doubt
the Northwestern will get in some
where too. That means that the
greatest developed country opened to
homestead in the history of America
will be the reservation district north
of here. The interior department ex-
pect a half million people to register.
No doubt they will. 1t will give
homes where land will be worth $50
an acre to start with. This means
some big cities will develop near it.
Pierre and Aberdeen are those towns
no doubt. When the wave of devel-.
opment comes for the country the
cities will extend just as fast. II all
means great things for South Dakota

SETTLING UP SOUTH DAKOTA.

Omaha Bee: The prospecting open
ing to settlement of two more sec
tionsiof the MISREPRESENTATION in South
Dakota is of great Importance to that
state. Adding to the productive area.
with it's consequent increase in pop
ulation, is alone material, but solidi-
Tying the interests of the state is also
OF great value. Formerly the section
east of the Missouri river and the
Black Hills district were separated
by the vast reservation with no means
OF direct communication and the two
had little in common. Previous set
Elements, with those in prospect, have
brought railroads into the reserva-
ton, connecting the two sections and
harmoniZing differences.
With the additional population at
tracted to these lands and their pro-
ductive capacity added to it's wealth
there appears no reason why South
Dakota should not advance more
rapidly than ever before. If these
lands are opened this fall, as antici-
pated, they will be settled before the
census is taken and the state receive
the benefit of full publicity of it's
growth. Indirectly the great addition
to the grain growing and consuming
section at Omaha's doors will be eft

PUSHING ON TO PIERRE
The Milwaukee Railroad i. Pointing at
Pierre With Six Lines.

The Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul
Railroad Company, which is the big
gest railroad system in South Dakota.
having more mileage than the North
western or any other road in the state.
has for many years had several lines
operating in the eastern part of the
Missouri valley and with the west
ward tide of immigration develop
ments have already taken place which
give assurance that the policy of the
Milwaukee is also to operate several
lines and dominate traffic through
out the western side of the valley.
The latest official announcement Of
the Milwaukee road is that one Of it's
extensions west from the Missouri
will start from the crossing at Mo-
bridge eighty miles north Of Pierre
and run nearly direct south down tile
valley to the junction Of the Moreau
river and Virgin creek and south
along the valley of the creek to the
southern boundary line Of Dewey
county, in township IL, range ~, at
which point it makes a nearly right
angle turn to the west and then fol-
lows an approximately straight line
through Dewey, Meade and the Butte
counties to the western boundary
line of the state. This big right angle
sweeping southwark and westward is
significant and amounts to a guaranty
that the Milwaukee is out after the
traffic of the valley proper and of the
millions of acres of reservation lands
just about to be opened, also to get
into the Belle Fourche irrigation pro-
iect in Butte county. The Milwaukee,
the biggest road in the state, will not
much longer keep out of the state
capital. The position of Pierre is
strategic from a transportation stand
point and it is evident that station
of the road at this point will be of
advantage not greater to this city
than to the road itself. The Milwau-
kee road is besieging Pierre on all
sides and has the city surrounded at
six points Of the compass nearby.
Fjrst-on the north in Dewey Coun-
ty the extension in town u, range az
