The Political Machine
Put in Operation
Place for a Man Whose Influence is
Wanted in Behalf of a Senatorial
Candidate.

Pierre, Aug. 2S.--The state board OF
charities and corrections has tender
ed to Hans Ustrud, one time state
superintendent of instruction, the DO.
sltion OF head of the state blind school
at Gary, but up to the present he has
not accepted the; appointment, and
there are a few matters to be looked
after before he will take that place,
if the reports which fit this way are
correct, and they appear to be SO.
Back of this is a story of the way
the political game is played behind

Most OF these quarters will be found
to contain just about the amount of
rough land that the average farmer
will want for small pasture, while
the remainder is top-notch plow land.
The 81 lands contains little more
rough land on each quarter than the
higher priced quarters. When we
found doubtful quarter we simply
sized it up carefully, and if it was
more than half plow land it was class
fled as AZ, while if it was more
than half rough wet classified it as
G, or grazing land. Thus it will be
seen that great deal of good agri-
cultural land will be found in the
grazing land classification at Is

farms will be secured from this clas-

The only difficulty we encountered
in making the appraisement," said
Mr.. Kull, was drawing the line be,
tween agricultural and grazing land.
In Mellette county the soil is all COOL.
The difference in the land rests sole,
" oil the fact that some of it is per-
fectly level some is gently undular-
ing, some is decidedly rough, and
some OF it fairly stands on edge. To
tell exactly where the grazing land
begins and where the farming land
quits was practically impossible.

Interesting Letter in
Regard to Sewer

WATERFOWL, S. D., Aug. %, 1911.
To the Mayor and City Council, City.
Gentlemen: ...&s
Referring to the matter of the SO.
called drainage canal (storm water
sewer) l desire to state that my adj
vice or counsel has not been asked
in this matter. but my attention has
been called to the plans and speci-
ffcations of this storm water sewer.
find that the said storm water
sewer is planned to be built fest
below the present sanitary sewer aud
5 feet away from it, and that the
plans are to run the sanitary sewer
into the storm water sewer at the
Intersection of Kemp Ave. and Maple
st., and that the plans specify that
the storm water sewer shall be IL
IL feet in diameter for it's whole
length. 49,
Now, the sanitary sewer is planned
and designed to be a separate sys-
TEN OF sewerage, not in any way con-
nected with the storm sewer, for the
following reasons: That the storm
water sewer is liable, during storm,
to be flooded and If connected with
the sanitary sewer, or house connec-
tons, 1t would back up the water in
to the cellars; but that the sanitary
sewer is planned in size and grade
to carry away the sewerage for a
city of 10000 people, and it has been
my experience that it is entirely ad.
equate for this purpose, and that it
has never for a minute during all the
time since it was built been in any
case out OF repair or cIogged, and.
excepting when the storm water has
run into, it, it has been at no time
more than one-eighth full.
Further, the storm water sewer as
Planned is too large for the outlet
The outlet has to accommodate the
sanitary sewer and storm water Sc
wer in the Third Ward, and had to
be built on a very low grade to
drain the low territory Of the Third
Ward, therefore the outlet will not
carry near as much water as the
storm water sewer contemplated to
be built will, on account of the diff.
ference in grade, consequently the
Third Ward cellars or easements
would be flooded every time there
was big storm
Now, l want to say further that if
built as planned on grade g feet be.
low the sanitary sewer, it would
break all the house connections, or
laterals on that side, running into
the sanitary sewer.
If the sewerage in the sanitary sc.
Wer should be turned into the storm
sewer at the intersection of Kemp
ave. and Maple st. it would neces.
state the discontinuance of the san
itary sewer from that point to the
outlet, unless a flush tank of very
large dimension should be placed at
the intersection of Kemp Ave. and
Maple st, In the sanitary sewer.

Prayer Meeting In the Commons.
For many years prayer meeting

mons once week during every parlia-

originated the idea, but the records of
the proceedings, which are faithfully

year 1888 the we'll known Quaker Mr..
L. POWELL Buxton and the evangel-
icals Sir George Grey and Mr.. Zach
airy Macauley-- were in constant at
tendance. The prayer meeting is held
in a room granted for the purpose by
the congratulations, and is restricted
to twenty minutes. The proceedings
are very simple. At each weekly meet
ing president for the following week
is chosen. On the day of assembling
Tuesday, at 5 o'clock-the president
for the day opens the meeting, reads
a portion Of the Scriptures and either
offers an extelnpore. prayer or calls on
one Of the members to pray. Two or
three others offer short prayers. and

Perpetuating the Survey.
Where a detailed survey has been
made, and the notes plated, it is we'll
to establish few permanent marks,
from which the survey may be con-
tinued. or which may enable another
engineer, at some future time, to take
up the work without having to dupli-
cate that which has already been done.
Landowners should select points for
these marks where there is little dan
ger of their being molested. and then
see to it that they are preserved. Farm.
ers, as rule. do not realize the i'm.
portance of preserving survey monu-
ments. This has been the cause of a
waste of much money in the dupli-
cation of work.-Minnesota Extension

action on his part. 49,.

The farmers who make up the pro-
gressive community surrounding the
little crossroads village of Scandal
in Washington county, Mimi, afford
such an example of successful coop
GRAFTON, in a number of lines of rural
enterprise, as may we'll be held up
for emulation by farmers all over the
state.
First-They have a cooperative
creamery, the business of which has
steadily grown, from it's first estab-
lishment, in 1891, until it now reaches
$4,000 annually, with a prospect of a
further increase with each successive
year.
Second-They have cooperative
store, in a building which cost them
$4,000, and which carries an $4,000
stock of goods.
Third-They have built co-opera.
tive telephone line at a cost of $4,000.
Fourth-They have pooled" their
religious preferences, along with their
money, and erected a fine church edi-
flee costing 100000; where other
places, without the spirit of Christian
cooperation, have five or six inferior
buildings and supporter rather,
starve-as many pastors.
Fifth-The young people, cooper
ating, have built hall for social gath.
erings, at a cost of $4,000; the edifice
being also used for school purposes.
Sixth-They have united in a Farm
ers' Club, through which they CO.
operate in raising one breed of stock,
one kind of potatoes, and in market
ing the same in carload lots. By
this plan their potatoes bring them
10 cents bushel more than in the
home market. When forced by the
scarcity of feed to buy hay, the mem
bers of the club employed a purchas-
ing agent; and, by pooling their or.
ders, they got hay 81 ton cheaper
The results of this happy spirit of
cooperation are seen in prosperous
farmsteads on every hand; a cheer.
full, aspiring population, and an ad.
vance in land values to SIS and $50
per acre and upwards: while in other
places with even better soil and a
larger population. land can be had for
about half those figures.
The over-intense individualism
which has been so marked a feature
of American life, has proved, in the out.
come, detrimental to the best interest
of the farm, and destructive to the
ideals of democracy. Cooperation,
which blends individual energies in
an effort for the general good, restores
those ideals; and at the same time it
demonstrates that the best advance
ment of the individual comes from the
endeavor to uplift others along with
ones self-C. r. Barns, Minnesota
