gions of the old free range are ex-
hibiting much wisdom in the enter
prise with which they are establishing
cooperative creameries in that region.
Already there are seven creameries
between Pierre and Rapid City and
Murdo is to have another immediate

bridges far cheaper in the end than
the present bridges which are heing
placed over the state. The plan Is
a concrete floor to be kept covered
with several inches of earth or gravel,
and to make the roadway on the
bridge itself. practically the same as
