CREAMERIES PROFITABLE.

The creameries which have been
operated in the country between the
Missouri river and the Black Hills
thr past year all reported a good and
profitable business for last year, and
all are opening up the present season

and this industry promises to be a

EVER CHANGING STREAM.

By cutting new channel through
the francisco farm, Il mile south Of
Renlker's neck, the Missouri river
has given q mammoth new lake to
South Dakota and has removed the
threatened danger to the clubhouses
at Riverside park in Sioux City,
With a roar that could be heard for
miles the teacherous stream on sun
day cut away the last 100 yards of
the neck and the murky waters dash
through the new opening and bore
away in new direction.
The creation of the new channel
leaves lake almost circular in
shape. 1t is about l2 miles long and
about half mile wide. In the cen
ter OF the lake is large island COM
posed almost entirely OF accretion
land. Near the point where the riv-
er cut through is considerable high
land, which belonged to the Francis
co farm. The point where the new
channel has been made is something
like II miles from Sioux Point.

MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS.

Washington, D. G., April 7.-The
senate committee on public lands re-
ported favorably today on Senator
CANDLES two bills opening to settle
ment all the remaining surplus lands
IN the Standing Rock and CHEYENNE
River reservations, comprising about
l, ,lO0,O 900 acres in the former and t.
100000 acres in the latter. Mr.. Gam
bic has great confidence these bills
VIII be passed this session, but if
they become law the new lands can
not be opened to settlement before
the spring OF 1911, owing to the time
required for allotment and appraise-
ment work.
The bills provide the price of lands
to be fixed by commission appoint
by the president. These two bills,
together with those for the opening
of additional lands in Pine Ridge and
Rosebud reservations, which have
passed the senate already and are al
ready and are favorably reported in
the house, provide for the opening of
total of fully 1000, 900 acres in
South Dakota next year, which will
be the largest amount of land ever
thrown open to entry there in single
year.

HOUSE SESSION WARM.

Washington, D. c. April 11-Alnost
the entire insurgent strength of the

today in what was generally acknowl-
edged to be an additional rebuke to
Speaker Cannon. A conference report
on the Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriate bill contained an agreement
to appropriate the expenses Of caring.

for Speaker Cannon and Vice president
Sheman. The house reiterated its disap-
proval of these expenditures, and by
vote of Ill to 1872 refused to agree on
the report, sending it back to the re-
port. sending it back to the conferees
for further discussion.
After this action had been taken Mr..
Cannon, leaving the chair, went to
the republican side Of the house and
there delivered speech that contained
much of sarcasm and invective. He,
again defied the insurgents and intim-
ated that they lacked courage to join
with the solid minority in deposing him
Encouraging his republican colleagues
and admonishing the democrats, he
declared he believed a republican ma
jority would be returned in the coming
elections.

WHEELER'S NEW STORE,
Formally Opened Yesterday Amid
TwinklinS of Thousands of Bells

Yesterday was day long to be re-
membered by the people of Columbia
as the opening day of Wheeler's new
store at 91S Broadway. All day long
and in the evening the din of the
thousands of little Swiss COW bells
could be heard on every street. These
were the souvenirs of the opening.
While Mr.. Wheeler has been in the
new room for some time the ap-
pointments were not complete until
this week and the public was invited
to visit the establishment. More than
1000 people availed themselves of the
opportunity and many were the express
sions of delight and surprise at what
| they saw.
The entire store is beautifully ar
ranged throughout, needing no special
decoration to make it attractive. The
rest room on the mezzanine floor was
decorated with ferns and plants which
concealed the orchestra which furnish
ed music throughout the day. The two
large windows in front were arranged
with a beautiful display of jewelry on
the one side and cut glass and china
on the other. In the jewelry window
was display of diamonds valued at
over s25 900.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the opening was the opportunity Of
fered the public to see the inside of a
jewelry factory. All visitors were
taken to the second floor where the
shop is located and explained the pro-
cess of making new jewelry and finish
ing goods. Few people realized that
there could be such a complete shop
10 town like Columbia. All kinds of
work is done here including the mount
ing of stones. making rings of all de-
scriptions, making belt pins of all de-
signs, gold and silver plating, and
refinishing of all kinds. Everything in
the repairing line which can be done
is done here in Columbia. ~
Mr.Wheeler expressed his entire sat
isfaction with the day and feels graf
flied at the expressions of approval
which he heard the congratulations he
received. He believes that nothing is
too good for the people of Columbia,
and in the new jewelry store he has
certainly given them something that
would be a credit to any city, no mat
ter how large.
