Regarded as Significant.

Another very significant movement
during the past eight months has been
the tendency of the various municipali-
ties to form playground associations to
look into the needs Of the children and
to make plans to provide for them. This
Is beginning the movement in the right
way and bids fair to lead to more COM
prehensive and purpOseful results than
have been achieved in the past. Some
Of the cities that have appointed such
commissions are Minneapolis. Oakland.
Philadelphia and New York

movements for the benefit of humankind
is that which originated in 1907 to pro-
vide Fairgrounds for the children of the
tenement house districts and other crowd
ed sections of our cities. AS has been
we'll said. the early years of the TWEEN
tieth century have been period of I'M
precedented social agitation, and of the
awakening of the public conscience to
relieve conditions which have retarded
the development of our civilization and
have limited human happiness. But none
Of the endeavors for Improvement has
gained such remarkable impetus as that
intended to provide harmless and health
full amusements for children and to teach
the state and municipal authorities that
1t Is better to furnish Fairgrounds than
police courts, reform schools and jails.
The movement is based upon the well
known and often proven maxim that
Satan finds some mischief still for idle
hands to do
But Congress has not yet caught the
spirit of the agitation. 1t does not seem
to realize how important it is to the
future peace and welfare of the District
of Columbia that the children of the
streets should be employed in wholesome
recreation rather than be allowed to fol-
low harmful tendencies Human beings
will have amusement and diversion.

Preparing for Campaign.

At present the members Of the District
Chapter Of the Travellers Aid are pre-
pairing an active campaign, which they
hope will land in their treasury enough
money to keep two deaconesses at the
Union Station for the next year. After this
work 10 done they will put their organize
ton on a basis where. from dues and
definite contributions, they will be able TO
maintain the regular service from year
to year.
II is doubtful IL Washington affords a
better chance for effective work than is
furnished at the Union station. An hour
or two spent with Miss Minor or Miss
Shriner in the busy hours OF the after
noon will convince the most skeptical OF
the value of the work they are doing.
The greatest field of their endeayor lies
in the number of friendiess young women
who come to Washington looking for
work. without enough money in their
pockets to pay a days expenses. and
without the slightest idea of where to
go to get employment.
Armed with train schedules. the dea-
conesses are on the lookout whenever a
train comes in. Day after day they are
brought face to face with distressing
cases. cases that require tact. patience
and a knowledge Of the city's resources.

Hills Survey Report

Deadwood-The northern part or
the Black Hills region, including
about $500 square miles in South Da-
kota and Wyoming, is the subject OF
of a report by N. II. Darton, just is
sued by the United States geological
survey as professional paper SIS.
The report sketches the topography
of the region, describes its geology in
detail, and gives an account of its
water resources, both surface and I'M
foreground. Brief record is made of
some of the mineral resources, which
include gypsum, petroleum in small
amounts, b~entonite. fire clay and
other deposits.
The principal mineral of
the northern Black Hills is gold which
is produced to a value of more than
five million dollars a year. but as the
metallic deposits of the region are
fully discussed in other reports of the
Geological survey, they are not con-
sidered in the present report.
The report includes a section on the
climate of the region and is illustrat-
ed by maps, diagrams, and half tone
plates. The geological map and the
map showing the distribution of the
underground waters should be espec-
tally valuable.
Professional Paper SIS can be OBJ
tanned free by applying to the director
Of the survey at Washington.

Mitchell Had a Good Year

Mitchell-In the matter OF new
buildings and improvements Mitchell
has made progress during the last
twelve months. The construction OF
business buildings has not been so
much a feature the past year, but the
development of the residence section
has been marked. Three OF the big
building enterprises OF n year was
the erection Of the Milwaukee pas
senger station at a cost of 5000.
the United States p~ostoffice building
costing $4,000 and the public school
building, costing with Its furniture
and other equipment $4,000. The
Lyle Manufacturing Co, completed
its big manufacturing plant as another
adjunct Of the growth Of the city.
The CT ytof Mitchell started late in
the fall sewer construction, for drain
age pose for which bonds to the
the work is well in hand. This big
piece Of work, covering more than a
mile, will be finished in the spring.
Another contract was awarded in Mo-
vember for the construction OF three
lateral sewers for sanitary purposes.
and the work will be taken up In the
spring. The residence section has
been developed to a greater extent
than for several years, n some mag
niicent residences have been con-
structed. Fully $50 new houses have
been erected during the year, ranging
in price from $4,000 to $4,000.

THE STATE MONEY
SOME OF THE BANKS CARRYING
STATE MONEY ARE SLOW
ABOUT INTEREST
BOARD after OFFENDERS
REPOSITORIES MUST REMIT TO
TREASURER MONTHLY
HEREAFTER

Pierre-The past year some OF the
banks of the safe which are carrying
state deposits under the provision of
the state depository law. have been
dilatory in regard to RENTING inter
est to the state treasurer requiring
a great deal of correspondence on the
part of that department. The state
finance board at the last meeting de-
cided to put a stop to this negligence.
and adopted a resolution requiring all
such depository banks to remit
the monthly interest to the state
tseasurer on the first day of the mont
for the interest due the previous
month, and to at the same time send
to the governor a statement of their
daily balances of state funds for the
funds for the same period of time.
And it was further resolved that fail
ure on the part of any such banks
to comply with the duty of the treas
urer to call in all state funds deposit
ed In UGH offending banks.
The requests for funds is greater
than can be supplied to the dopsitary
banks, and if any are dropped from
the list under the provision of the
ruling, plenty of others are waiting
for the opportunity to get into the
list.
The board also adopted a motion
to accept personal bonds on the par
of depositary banks in case the
bonds are draw and justified under
the provisions of the depositry law.
UP to the present surety bonds alone
were accepted.

AMUSEMENT
Law Requiring License and Inspection
Became Operative Jan. I.

Pierre-while the state building in
spection law went into effect the first
of last July, along with the other laws
of the 1909 session, the owners of
buildings used for public amusements
under the provisions of the law it
self, were given six months in which
to get their buildings within the pro-
visions of h law. The six months
expired yesterday, n the law Is now
in full force and effect. The law.
chapter 274 o fthe laws of 1903, re-
quires that every theatre, opera house
or other public building used or to be
used for theatrical purposes or for
public resort or entertainment for the
accommodation Of 100 or more persons
shall on or before July 1, of each
year, pay an annual license fee to
the state Of $500. The law makes the
hotel inspector ex-oficio building in
spector. 1t fixes the requirements as
to the manner of construction of
such places of amusement, and pro-
vides a fine of $500 for failure to COM
ply with the provisions of the law.
While IL does not require a license
from the schools or churches, 1t in
dudes such buildings within it's scope
of provisions in regard to safety.
UP to the present time, fourteen out
of the hundreds of opera houses over
the state have paid the required IL
cense fee and secured their authority
from the state treasurer as such pub
lie houses Of entertainment, but 1t Is
not likely that a single one of them
has taken advantage of the six mont
time to get into shape to comply with
the law so far as safety is concerned.
Now that the time is up, the inspector
is in position to enforce his orders In
regard to the matter of safeguarding
patrons, and If he follows instructions
there will be something doing along
the line of opera house, within the
next few months.

CORN STILL IN FIELDS
Roughly Estin ated That 25, ZOO, 900
Bushels are U~nharvested

Sioux Falls-It is comparatively es.
timated by those who have made an
investigation hat there yet remains
in the corn fields of South Dakota at
least 20 1000, 900 bushels of corn.
and some place the amount as high as
80 900, 900 bushels.
Although South Dakota "a a fine
fall, the farmers had so much to do
that they were unable to gather their
corn before winter set in. Not for
many years has winter held on so
steadily as thus far this winter. AS
a usual thing the first approach Of
winter is followed by many weeks of
weather which averages well up with
ordinary fall weather, enabling farm
ers to sometimes carry on their corn
picking as late as into the latter part
of November, But this winter it was
different, and while the winter set in
unusually early it has held on almost
seadily, and the snowfall has been
much greater than usual for the fore
part of the winter.
Tn result is that corn fields have
remained partially buried under the
deep snow and the farmers have been
unable to enter the fields with wag-
ons and gather such part of the
crop as was not gathered before win
ter set in. Thaws have been few and
far between, and storm period follow
ing another in rapid succession.
With corn at fifty cents per bush
ell, and many millions of dollars worth
remaining in the snow covered fields
throughout the state, the only hope Of
the farmers being able to gather it
is for a prolonged thow to come and
melt the greater part of the snow
which now remains on the ground.
