Sire Horse Registration

Pierre-The last legislative session
at the demand of horse raisers over
the state passed a stallion registra-
tion law, making certain officials OF
the state members of the new board.
James w. Wilson, of the state agrl-
cultural college at Brookings, as Sec
rotary of the board, has just made
a report to the governor. In brief the
report shows that since July l, 1909,
the board has issued As temporary, and
2,3O5 permanent licenses for stations
and Jacks in the state. The board VIII
only grant licenses on reports OF au-
thenticated veterinarians, and reports
a shortage of such officials for the
work, especially in the outlying sea-
tions of the state. Stations are list
ed into three classes by the board:
purebred; grade and no grade.
On reports made to them the board
has rejected licenses for IS stations
in the past year or account OF her
iditary weakness. The horsemen OF
the state are generally reported to be
very we'll satisfied with the work or
the board. but some of them whose
stock has not been listed as they de-
sire, are reported to be charging the
board with. a species OF graft In us
work. The receipts OF the board Tor
the year were 5 ,694.35, and the ex-
penses SO, 257. At, leaving a balance OF
over 81, 900 in the funds OF the board.

tives fattened their herds, but which
they did not cultivate.
There were three species OF this
alfalfa, but Of only one could Profess
sor Hansen get seed before he had
turned homewarA again, and that was
Medicago falcata. Seed of this he OBJ
tanned by securing the plains, picking
open the pods by hand, or, in the
Lake Baikal region, by hiring Buriat
Mongolians to pick with their fingers
seed from a load of wild hay brought
into market. His little harvest he
boarded more carefully than he would
have guarded so much fine gold until
he had it safely across the Pacific to
the United States.
"And the long quest was fully re-
warded. The alfalfa pole, on which
the explorers mind and heart had
been set for twelve years, was found.
One of the two specias was discover
ed on the storm swept steppes be-
tween the Irish and the Obi rivers,
and the other some eighteen hundred
miles further east in the Monaghan
part of Manchuria."

Deadwood-United States court Is
in session here for the Septem-
Der term, with Judge Garland, OF
Sioux Falls, on the bench. The term
is likely to be a short one, and a num-
Der of cases will go over. The several
suits against the Burlington railroad
have been postponed on account or
the unexpected death Sunday Of N. K.
Griggs, chief counsel for the road. AT
the opening of court, when the petit
Jury was summoned, j. j. Morrow, OF
Lead, one of the jurymen, failed to re-
spond to tine and was
brought before Judge Garland and fin
ed $25 and costs for contempt. The

Report Car Shortage

Pierre-The complaints Of car
shortages are beginning to come to
the state railway commission a little
earlier than usual this year. So far
two towns have made complaint, both
on the milwaukee," road, n COM
ing from Chancellor in Turner coun-
ty; and one from Naples, in Clark
county, in which grain shippers claim
that they cannot secure cars as they
have ordered them, and by this are be-
ing delayed in grain shipments. Last
year there was a great deal OF COM
plant, but it was later in the year.
Whether the early complaints presage
a greater shortage later in the season
is not certain, but there will without
doubt be some trouble on that score.
Under the reciprocal demurrage act
of this state the shipper has the same
right to claim demurrags as has the
railway, but as the demurrage
amounts to the individual are always
small, and collection will be resisted
by the roads, the expenses OF a suit
will be greater than the amount de-
manded, even If secured, and there Is
little attempt to put that part OF the
law into action.

LIST OF LOSSES.
The principal losses are as follows,

mel & Byrne, livery, 800; Patrick's
billiard hall $4,000; Mrs. T. A. Way,

When the fire was discovered and
the alarm given, such Roadway had
been made by the flames that there
! was not adequate resistance to be
made to the progress Of destruction
and the people of the town were forced
to witness the ~unavailing effort of the
local fire department supplemented by
every man who could bear a hand. All
were driven back by the flames, which
swept from the northwest. carrying
| cinders for a half mile and threaten
ing not only dwellings but their occu.
pants. Finally the effort was largely
withdrawn from the doomed business
section and scattered about the resi-
dence portion, which was saved n
mart. The business buildings being
nearly all frame structures, there was
no natural check to the progress o.
the fire. Never in the history OF the
SAN
state has a business community beer
so completely destroyed as in this ca
lamity.
Not only is this loss disastrous Il
the business interests represented, blu
it also seriously affect the Quitting
trade for settlers crossing the rive
at this point and founding their homes
on the Cheyenne reservation.

month and of the December call. The
Irvine plant fund shows a working
capital of $55, 1872; and the capitol
building fund has accumulated I'LL
O59. The game fund is up to s9,435,
and as soon as the county treasurers
remit their licenses cole t ons or this
year it will show a heavy increase,
and the game warden will have a good
sum on which to work for securing
game birds for the state ii the COM
ing legislative session gives him the
authority the last session thought IT
was granting to him.

Rapid City-What this section has
long sought, a railroad line running
north into Meade county and through
a particularly rich and rapidly set
Ting country, appears now to be in
the not too dim future. An engineer
ing party is now running a sur fey be-
tween here and Faith to which point
the Milwaukee line is building aad
will soon reach, and the only logical
conclusion of this survey work Is that
the Milwaukee has finally decided to
build south from Faith into RAPID
City, putting the north part of the
state in close touch with the Hills.

o. somewhere on my farm. I know 81
nothing which the United States gov
eminent could do, which would be Of
such vast benefit to the western
plains, nor as much of a lift in the
way of accomplishing successful con-
s%ervAtion, as to plant trees. The idea
Of planting trees for fence posts,
should be discouraged and done away
with and the sole idea should be to
plant trees, for the purpose Of attract
ing and holding moisture.
81 lived in Minnesota forty years
ago, and at that time all that section
of that state west of New Ulm was
barren Of trees. Forty years ago, chill
dren remained at home from school
in winter in Minnesota because of the
billiards. Today the children attend
school in winter, without any discom-
fort or trouble, because trees have
been planted along the farms and the
roads are sheltered from the biting
wind and snow does not blow into
them and make them impossible.
eff l ask a Minnesota pioneer the
reason why his grandchildren can GO
to school and why there is a better
average attendance upon the rural
schools of Minnesota now than ever,
he tells me that it is because the
trees shelter the roads and children
can get to school,"
Mr.. Kruger is president of the
South Dakota State Agricultural So
ciety and he says that he wants a very
large meeting of that society TO be
held in Pierre this winter, that being
the place selected for the meeting. he
SAYS that his wal cry is Trees shall
save the state" and that he will be
there with his war paint on to talR
trees and do all he can to roade
the interest in them.

Deadwood In order to minimize
the danger from forest fires the
Burlington railroad has adopted the
plan !. of sending hand cars with
section men to follow all its trains
running through the Black Hills ma
tional forest, and to %extinguish any
names that may be set by sparks from
the engines. While many of the for
est fires are accidentally set in this
way, the railroads claim that they are
blamed for many they never set, but
rather than go through lawsuits, they
are taking preventive measures. On
the main line between here and Edge
mont, gasoline cars for transport 8

Teachers Examinations

The papers of the July teach
ers' examinations have been mark
ed by the state marking board.
They show 1876 applicants, OF whom
938 were granted certificates; COS fail
ed to get through. This is a better
percentage of certificates than had
been secured for examinations earlier
in the year. One feature Of the situa-
ton is that where summer schools were
held the percentage of successful ap-
plicants runs high. Such schools were
held in Yankton, Mitchell and Huron.
There is not likely to be a short
age of teachers for city schools in the
state, and from the number of sue
cessful applicants at the July exam
nations the probabilities are that the
country schools will be fairly well
supplied.
