Mexican Cattle on Range.

Wakpala, June with the
cessation Of hostilities in Mexico

The range country is dry. Lo-
cal showers have made green
grass and the pasturage is good
but there has not been a good
soaking rain, sufficient to fill
reservoirs and water holes, since
the summer of 1909. Unless rain
comes soon, the hay crop will
be failure.

SuI|y's $4,000 Court House.

Pierre, June There was re-
joicing at Onida from a double
one over the laying Of the corner
stone Of the new court house,
the other over the magnificent
rain. The day was bright and
clear, and while there was good
attendance it was limited by the
night rain making the roads bad
for automobile ira ,cl.
The ceremony took place at 4
0 clock, the huge stone being
placed in position, and meaning
to the people Of that town and
an end of all question as to the
permanency of the town as the
capital Of Sully county. In the
stone were placed copies of the
local papers as well as old files

missioners who arranged for the
building and the architect and

in the western portion of our
state the farmers produce alfal-
fa which yields from five to ten
bushels of seed per acre. This
seed, a more important fact still,
terminates possibly thirty per
cent higher than does what is
said to be the best alfalfa seed
possible in other states. These
are some of the opportunities the
state has locked in her treasure
box for the pioneers who have
the key.
" Although all our wealth is
founded on agriculture, with the
farmer for our state s back bone,
we have various other attractive
possibilities. For instance, it
may surprise most of you to
learn that in South Dakota there
are to be found the most promis-
ing mine possibilities. Eastern
money is beginning to pour into
these developments. Then, too,
there are our medicinal water
springs. We have spring health
resorts in South Dakota there
not surpassed by the famous
springs of Arkansas and year
by year our resotrs will gain in
reputation until, | have no doubt,
the day will arrive when a Chi
cagoan, making mention of the
fact that ne is to take a run out
to the springs to brace up a bit.
will be referring to the South
Dakota springs rather than to
those of Arkansas or Indiana
while the person to whom the re-
marks are addressed will so un-
derstand with neither of them
mentioning it.
"The Importance Of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress meet
ing in Chicago this year to my
own state and to all others of
the Union cannot properly be cs-
timated. The meeting will be of
tremendous value. Chicago is
the natural home of this Organi-
zation, especially this year. With
the congress here and with your
land and produce exposition to
be held at the same time, | can
easily see how our states lying
near you can be immensely bet
tered.
"Your congress has the great
object of making more homes or
the land and of making more
equal distribution of the millions
of people in this country now anC
Of the millions of agricultural
soldiers who are pouring in from
foreign nations year after year
This is the biggest and broadest
of any work, making more
wealth for the states and moro
homes, more happy people, health
wealth and prosperity for tht
nation as a whole. This viii
make Uncle Sam smile.'

+. Fishback, chairman of th'
board, requested all the guest

and state land commissioner.
While there are, number of as
plrants over the state who would
not object to acting commissioner,
those apparently in the lead are l.
A. Webb, of Deadwood; Everett
White, of Faith; and George Van
Camp, of Highmore. The selec-
tion will probably be made before
the first of July, when the law
creating the department goes into
effect. just what salary will be
paid the commissioner is left to
the discretion of the board, but
as the department is only granted
$500 for the first year of it's ex-
istence, and $40, 900 for the second
year, the salary will have to be
based somewhat on the amount at
the disposal of the board.
About 100 of the undertakers
OF the state We're present Tues
day morning at the opening of
the annual meeting of their as
sociation. The morning session
was taken up with the organiza-

ternoon session the first address

was delivered. The Belle

promises to be higher within the
next few days.

FALLING OFF IN
CHURCH Members
Actual Loss of Members In
Some Sections.

Toronto, Ont, Oct. THE princi-
pal subject of discussion of yester
days sessions of the Ecumenical
Methodist conference, which delegat-
es from all quarters of the world are
attending, was the decrease in mem
bership of the church, which, it was
revealed in the reports submitted, has
taken place the world over during the
last decade
The western section. comprising
the United States, Canada and Japan
reported during that period a loss in
net membership increase. while the
eastern setcion. covering Great Brit
ain. ireland. France, South Africa
Australia and the mission field. show
ed an actual loss in membership.
In the western section the increase
in members in the decade ending 1891
was 1851, 209, while in the last decade
it was only 437 1862. This, according
to H. X. Carroll of New York. repre-
senting that section, was due to "a de-
crease in earnestness."
In Great Britain, according to the
Rev. Simpson Johnson of London, sec
rotary of the Westminster Methodist
conference, the various Methodist
hodies gained about 10000 members
during the last ten years. but in the
last half of the decade there was a
notable decrease, attributable, he
thought, to conditions outside tho
church and weakening of forces tt
