PLAN FOR STORING
FLOOD WATERS WILL
IMPROVE BAD LANDS
Citizens of Scenic viii Meet On
December 16 to Launch Q
Gigantic Scheme.

Pierre. S. D., Nov. 25.--The citizens
of Scenic and of surrounding country,
will hold meeting at that place on
December 16 to perfect an organization
to eventually put about $4,000 acres
of table lands under irrigation by
means of stored flood waters These
table lands in the Bad Lands are re-
garded as rich soil as Is to be found
anywhere. Even in dry years. when
there Is no grass in the valleys, O.
luxuriant forage crop Is found ON the
high land. The rain fall is from IL
to 20 inches annually, more frequently
being nearer the upper figure. This
is approximately that of Pierre. With
this amount of moisture, sufficient
water can be retained in dams on Or
dinarily dry water courses To irrigate
vast area. In all probability Rex
Green, assistant state engineer will be
in attendance to instruct the gather
ing In scientific methods for the con-
servation OF water. Another project
which will be developed next summer
and for which right TO appropriate
water has just been given is that OF
Jefferson d. Carr on the Cheyenne
near Lindsay, which will embody 500
acres, to be planted to alfalfa for hog
and cattle feeding.

NATIONAL
CONVENTION MEETS
IN DAKOTA IN 1912
Sioux Falls Will Entertain Next
Meeting of National Edi-
torial Association.

Hot Springs, s. D., Nov. 2S-South
Dakota has captured the meeting for
1912 Of the National Editorial associa-
ton, which is a very important con-
vention and one that has never before
been held in a city as small as Sioux
Falls. where the editors will convene
next year.
This is not only of benefit to Sioux
Falls. but to the Black Hills and the
entire state. for ii is planned to carry
these big newspaper and magazine
publish rs and their wives all over the
state in a special train and they will
return to their desks Informed and en-
Unused to talk about South Dakota, the
Sunshine state.
The meeting came through the efforts
Of r. e. Dowdell. Of Artesian, who is
president Of the National Editorial as
sociation, and George Schlosser, of
Sioux Falls. who is member Of the
executive committee. Mr.. Schlosser,
explained to Otis Hymer. last summer,
his plan to bring the national editors
to this state. and asked him to help in
the Black Hills ARRANGEMENTS. After
congregating at Sioux Falls he plans
to take them to Watortown. Aberdeen
end other cities In that part Of the
state, where they will be the guests OF
local citizens for short time. After
q nights ride the train will land at
Chamberlain. where IT is Mr.. Schlos-
ser's idea to have a breakfast served
the guests on the islar IN the Missouri
river. which will be novel pleasure.
Thence The party will travel to Rapid
City and Hot Springs. After the siren
uous journey over the state the party
will be tired and Hot Springs will be
resting place and 1t is the purpose OF
Mr. Schlosser and Mr.. Hymer 70 have
the entire number stop here for per-
haps day and half. This will allow
them to visit Wind Cave and those who
wish can make a run to Sylvan Lake.
After being refreshed by the stay here
the trip will be continued to the Nor
thern Hills. where the editors will be
the guests of Deadwood and Lead and
will visit Spearfish canyon. After a
sufficient stop there the trip eastward
and home will be taken up.
Many notifications in the program
may be made. but one of the drawing
cards in coming to South Dakota was
the Black Hills trip and this will un-
doubtedly be carried out and 1t will re-
suit greatly to the advantage Of this
section. Hot Springs has already been
promised the meeting Of the State
Press association.

Mount Athos, the neighborhood of

rife storm. was the spot contemplated
by sculptor for the most imposing
monument that man ever had. The
sculptor, Dinocrates by name, offered
to cut the huge mountain mass into
the form OF a statue of Alexander.
which should hold a city in the left
hand and in the right basin to re-
ceive all the waters that flowed from
the mountain. Alexander was much
taken by the plan, but rejected 1t for
the practical reason that there was not
food enough in the district to feed the
Inhabitants Of the proposed town. So
the canal cut by Xerxes to enable the
ships to escape sailing around the
mountain remained the greatest enter
prise ever achieved there.

The discovery that there is a kind Of
struggle for existence and survival Of
the Attest among rivers is one of the
most interesting results Of the modern
study Of photography. A notable ex-
ample OF this contest is exhibited by
EnSiand's two biggest rivers, the
Thames and the Severn. Between their
valleys lie the Cotswold hills, and ex-
ploration shows that the Severn, by
eating backward among these hills,
where softer strata undelie them, has
diverted to itself some of the headwa-
ters which formerly flowed into the
Thames.
