A Weekly JOY.

Chicago Evening Journal: The
average daily newspaper, with
its chronicles of crime, its SOL
emn editorial comment, and its
market quotations, is very dull
affair. Very few daily papers
help to make life cheerier or cas-
Ter t. bear. But the weekly pa
per is a weekly JOY. 1t is not
spread all over with tales of
crime or defaced with silly pic
lures. There is something in 1t
for avervhodV.

Unusual Conditions of Weather
Advances the Season Nearly

Canton, S. D.. April Unusual
conditions OF weather in this section
of the state forced farmers into their
spring work at least three weeks
ea-lier than usual.
Farmers in Lincoln county and in
Lyon county, Iowa, separated from hts
county by the Big Sioux river, have
nearly all finished sowing their wheat
and oats, and the acreage for 10Th will
not be enlarged. The high prices will
make no material difference in acre.
age to be cultivated in this section.
Little barley is raised here inc no fax.
There will De an increased acreage
of corn, as Lincoln county is one OF
the best corn counties in the southern,
part of the state. and the home Of
prize-winning corn for years. The,
ground was never in better condition
for seeding and the general outlook
for a prosperous crop season, was
never better.
The snow disappeared in this section
on March 2, and on the 9Th farmers all
over the county were picking their
leftover corn crop.
Residents Of South Dakota for 40
years have no recollection of such con-
tinuOus summer weather in March. The
ground is thoroughly saturated with.
water and the surface Is dry n warm.

CAPT. ISAAC BAKER
CONDEMNS Federal
CONTROL OF RIVER
Declares Government Is Worst
Enemy of Navigation of the
Large Streams.

P. Baker. Of Bismarck. opened the
river meeting here yesterday with a
strong talk in which he expressed
pleasure in the act that the senat
committee had divided the appropria-
He took the position that by their
making q Missouri river rate the rail-
roads themselves acknowledged the
river as a rate regulator. wen II the
navigation was not extensive. n that
with a comparatively small amount
rate reduction which must be mad to
meet the river rates wouid run into an
immense saving to all the residents Of
the northwest.
Scores Federal Regulation.
Captain Baker characterizes the e
eral government as the worst enemy
which the Missouri rive has at pres
ent. by it's method of mismanagement
of the stream. 1t requires a federal
license for every man who attempts to
operate a boat OH the river, but allows
a railroad to operate its trains without
any such attempt at interference with
its engineers. He asked for revetment
on the banks of the stream to prevent
the filling Of the channel with silt and
the pulling of a few snags which OBJ
struct the channel.
Vast Power at Hand.
State Historian Doane Robinson tool
up the power possibility Of the river at
Big and Little bends, near here. In
which he showed that the Big bend
would Develop 100000 horsepower at
high water and 144 900 horsepower at
the mean stage, and the Little bend
100000 horsepower at high water INC
no. 900 horsepower at low water. These
projects could be developed without
damage to navigation and would create
a great manufacturing center.
