THIRTY YEARS IN DAKOTA

Beresford Republic: The editor of
the Republic landed on Dakota soil
thirty years ago this fall, and retro
spectlve view is at least interesting.
AT that time North and South Dako-
ia were not divided, but formed Da-
kota territory. The severe winter of
lSSO-sl followed and the term "Dako-
ia blizzard" got so firm hold on the
people of the eastern states that it
took years of time and abundance of
persistent loyalty to the state on the
part of the people who remained to
change the impression. The territory
was eventually divided and the two
states, North and South Dakota were
admitted to the union-the latter as
a prohibition state. Sod shantes have
given place TO modern homes and the
prairles have yiel led to the plow east
of the river, while west of it the open
range is in it's last struggle before
surrendering to the permanent farm
er. State institutions have grown,
prosperity and contentment abound
and hundreds of eastern people are
looking to South Dakota with an eye
to making 1t their home.

AQUAPLANE BUCKS

S. M. Howard, the inventor Of the
"Aquaplane" appears to be having
the troubles of the man who tries out
new craft, either for air or water.
There has been continual trouble
with getting the machinery so that it
will work. And when a trial trip was
made, the machinery, after working
for few minutes went wrong, and
the whole thing is again tied up for
repairs. On account of the lateness
of the season, it is doubtful whether
the residents along the river will be
able to get glimpse of this craft be-
fore next year, but the experience of
this fall should be such as to get
everything in shape for operations
next year.

NEW APPoRTIoNMENT LIKELY

The state constitution provides
that the first legislative session after
state or national census, and at no
other time, the Legislature shall ap-
portion it's membership on q basis Of
population by the first Of next year
to allow the legislative members to
get busy. Of course the legislature
has not at all times needed the man
date of the constitution in regard to
re-apportionment, but they have al
ways at least madesa a try. But next
year there will be new element in the
increased population in the western
half of the state. Under present con-
ditions it requires greater popula-
tion west of the river for one senator.
than it does for two senators in some
Of the eastern counties. Stanley and
Lyman as one district west Of the
river show up with about six thous-
and votes and get one senator. Min
nehaha and Brown counties both
with the same or lighter votes get
two each. As it happens the consti-s
tutional limit of forty-f FIVE senator's
is all taken up, and the only way the

While the signs of the times portend
losses to the republicans and while
the democrats are sure that they will
control the next house Of representa-
tives it will take the democrats a
long time even with the tide running

They are already assured of a gain
in Maine, having won the legislature,
which elects a successor to Senator

tor in William E. Purcell of North

FoX,s STRONG SPEECH

AON ANNlyN SFEES.k1
John A. Fox, special director Of
the national rivers and harbors con-
gress, with headquarters at Washing
ton, is making a tour of the north
west in the interest of river improve
ments, and made talk here on
Thursday night. His subject is the
Missouri river, which is being dis
cussed as one of the proper subjects
of government attention.
The manner of government improves
ment of the river was one of the
topics of discussion by Mr.. Fox, who
showed, as it is we'll known to those
who live near the stream, that it Is
largely wasted so far as aid to navi-
cation is concerned, the only place
where the money has ever benefited
anyone, being where the banks OF
the streams have been protected from
erosion.
The government has since 1883, ex-
pended on improvement Of the Mis-
souri, river from the mouth Of Fort
Benton, s11, ,605, 700, and it would be
hard to show what mas been accom-
plished of the largest part Of this
money. The demand Of the river
congress is that the work shall be
done systematically and in such man
ner that it will be in the line of bsne-
fit for navigation. The plan, as
outlined by Mr.. Fox, ia for an
appropriation Of sos, 900, 900 on the
Missouri. OF this twenty million to
be placed on the stream from its
mouth to Kansas City; twenty-five
million between Kansas City and
Sioux City, and fifty million above
Sioux City. This would be at the.
rate of approximately fifty thousand
dollars a mile from the mouth Of the
stream to the western border Of North
Dakota.
The argument of Mr.. Fox for the
expenditure Of $4,000 q mile above
Sioux City is summarized in the fol-
lowing: In North Dakota the river
counties contain 1870, 900 acres in
the ten counties which border on the
Missouri; and in South Dakota. the
10 counties which border on the river
contain 15,500,OOO acres, or a total Of
%, $4,000 acres in the two Dakotas.
These counties last year, with only
ten per cent of their area under culti-
vation, produced So. 600, COO bushels Of
grain. Estimating that ore-t third of
this was sent to market, or 25, 600, 600
bushels, on which only cents per
bushel freight was saved, it would
mean saving of $l,6sO annually.
This would allow one million dollars
to pay 2 per cent interest annually on
the investment, and SOS, 0o,Oo0 as a \
sinking fund to help wipe out the in
vestment. This, with the grain alone
to carry on but ten per cent OF the
area affected, while there would be
the live stock and general miscelIan-
eous freight to be considered.
Mr.. Fox is visiting the different
cities in tho valley of the Missouri to
organize them in the united effort to-
ward pushing along the work of the
rivers and harbors congress which
has for it's aim, the putting of the
rivers Of this country onsshe same
plan as freight carriers as are tha
streams of Europe.
