STATE UNIVERSITY
GIVEN $4,000 FOR
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
Good News Comes to Students
as They Are Gathered for
Chapel Exercises.

Vermiilion, g.. D., Jan. 25.-Chapel
exercises took on the nature Of q ju-
bilee this morning at 10 o'clock when
At was announced through a telegram
from President Ericsson, Of the state
board Of regents, that yesterday, In
company with T. w. Dwight, Of the
board. and Governor Vessey, an agree
ment had been reached in New York
city with Andrew Carnegie's agents, by
which the State university is to receive
a donation Of $4,000 for a library
building.
1t was over three years ago that the
steel magnate vas persuaded that there
was warrant for donating $50, 900 for
such a purpose, but before 1t could be
made effective It was necessary that
the legislature should authorize ex-
penditure for the support of h library,
when 1t was established. At the ses-
sion Of 1909 this authorization was
made, and then q new condition faced
the board of regents and faculty. The
recent growth of the university points
to a time when a $30,000 structure will
be insufficient to provide for the needs
OF the institution, and steps were taken
to have the donation increased and that
has brought about delay. It was not
until h meeting esterday In New
York hat the desir d changes were
satisfactorily adjusted and the approval
of h Carnegie board secured to the
Increase In the amount OF the donation.
This amount will enable the regents to
provide a building conforming In size
and setting with the other buildings on
the campus and sufficient for any rea-
sonable need for many years. Plans
for the structure will be prepared at
once and az soon as they are approved
by the Carnegie board. building oper-
ations Will begin and ii Is expected that
the structure will be ready for occu-
pancy by the beginning Of the fall
semester Of the present year.
Under the conditions imposed there
will have to be $500 a year set aside
for the maintenance Of the library.
This the regents are in position to
assure.

SALOON INTERESTS
. TO BECOME ACTIVE
EARLY IN SPRING
Will Take Issue With Local
Leaders When Spring Elec-
ton Is Over.

Pierre, s.. D.. Jan. 24.--The Liquor
Dealers association on the one side,
and the prohibition forces on the other,
are lining up for a warm campaign on
he question of county local option
again this year. While the local option.
lists were defeated by a few thousand
votes last year.. they have not given up,
but will push the fighting all along the,
line this year. They believe that by
proper campaigning they can more
than overcome the lead which the anti
optionists people showed up two years
ago.
While the liquor dealers are actively
ut work along certain lines, 1t Isl
claimed that they will not get actively
into the field until after the city and
town elections are held In April. At
these elections, the license question;
must be voted on in all towns where
saloons are strongly enough desired, to,
bring the question to an issue, and they,
do not desire to push anything which,
might cause confusion of the question
Their work up to that time appears to-
be along the line Of seeing that the re-
tail dealers themselves remain good,
and show a proper observance OF ex-
listing liquor laws Of the state. They
are forming organizations In many Of
the cities of the state, and are employ
ing counsel to act with these organiza-
lions where the retailers do not appear
to observe the law as 1t stands, and
will push such cases themselves and
not wait for the prohibition element to
act.
1t il claimed that they have carried
this work to such an extent hat at
least one or two firms In the state have
retailers licenses from the local au-
thorities, which are not worth as much
to them as the proverbial mining
stock" for the reason that the whole-
salers who are all enlisted in the work
are never In shape to I'LL orders from
these firms, and while they have a IL
cense they nave no stock, nor can they
get one from any northwestern whole
sale house.

SUFFERING AMONG SETTLERS
IN NEW TERRITORY

Brushie, 8. D., Jan. 26.-The home
steaders who have maintained their
residence on their lands In this part of
northwestern South Dakota this winter
come through the winter all right.
Those who have had the most dis
tressing time are the homesteaders who,
did not make suitable provision in the
way of houses for the severe weather
which usually is experienced In this
region during the winter. Those who
reside in board shacks" with nothing
but kerosene stoves to furnish heat
have suffered the most. Goa has been
scarce and has been difficult to obtain.
even by those who had the price and
the teams with which to haul 1t the,
long distances from the nearest rail-
road. Some Of the homesteaders were
wise enough to construct sod houses,
and these have been quite comfortable
during the winter.

MITCHELL COMMERCIAL CLUB
AFTER COMMISSION PLAN

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. 25.-The Mitchell
Commercial club has called a meeting
of the business men Of Mitchell for next
Monday evening at which time will be
discussed the commission plan of mu-
nicipal government, with yeference to
the ~advisability Of adopting IL in Mitch
ell. Mayor A.. E. Iitcncock recently
issued a lengthy statement favoring the
adoption of such a plan Of government
for the city, quoting its success in Gal
weston and elsewhere. n 1t is not at
all unlikely that it will come up for a
decision by the people at the coming
spring election. Mitchell at the present
time under the old council system has
a close approach to the commission
plan and the voters will probably de-
eide whether or not they will a it
adopted in it's entirety. Sioux Falls
is the only city in the state at the
present time under the commission plan
of government.

and starvation. Hester Is about so years
Of age and has relatives in the western

Ammon, in his studies of the people

dimenish in the course of one and two

families that move from the country

out In the course of two generations.
It 10 asserted that one-half Of the in

PRAIRIE CHICKENS ARE
MENACE TO FARM Frs

WATERFOWL, s. D., Jan. 25.-
State Game Warden w. F. Ban
croft, of this city, has a puzzling
proposition to settle in his de-
partment brought by Mr.. H. r.
Hanson, of Union county. Mr..
Hanson has 20 acres Of corn un-
husked. and which he is unable
to get to on account of the deep
snow. The prairie chickens have
discovered his dilemma and sent
the word to all their friends and
relatives till there are now by
actual count, writes Mr.. Hanson,
not less than 1000 prairie chick
ems camping in his field and fat
tening on his corn. He has tried
sticking dogs on them and firing
in the air over the field, but he
declares the chickens merely
wink the other eye and keep on
eating. 1t is the closed season
for chickens and so he dares not
shoot them. And yet they are
eating enough high priced seed
corn every day to plant a town
ship. The state game warden has
wired the Union county wardens
to make an immediate investiga-
ton and report to him.
