Not Afraid of Drought

Pierre-Reports from all the coun-
try west OF the Missouri river show
that the homesteaders were not dis
couraged by the dry weather of
last year, but are busily at work In
their fields getting in the seed from
which they expect to reap a harvest
next fall. They are all developing
along lines of dry farming" which
means deep blowing and continuous
cultivation OF the soil following rains.
BY this method they conserve the
moisture which gets into the soil and
can feel an assurance Of a crop with
a far less amount Of rainfall than
where ordinary rainfall is supposed to
be sufficient without cultivating to
hold it. The dry farming and con-
servation congresses which were held
in this city last summer and last win
ter did more to spread the gospel Of
water conservation in the soil than
thousands Of pamphlets would do, as
1t was demonstrated through talks by
practical farmers, who had tried 1t
out and who only told of their actual
experience along such lines.

COMPANY HEADED BY COLONEL
GRiGS8Y AND r. r. PETIT
GREW ORGANIZE
GREATEST in NORTHWEST
Location of MorreiI Packing Company
and Stockyards Puts Sioux
Falls In Line as North
west Market

Sioux Falls-Col. Melvin Grigsby
and Hon. r. +. Pettigrew, have laid
before the business men OF this city
plans for the establishment of stock
yards here as a business proposition
of exceptional merit and urgency now
that the Morrell company packing
plant has put Sioux Falls in a situa-
ton to become one Of the largest
stock markets in the Northwest.
Col. Grigsby went into the details
at length. He had an architect draw
a diagram showing the location Of the
proposed stock yards. Mr.. Grigsby
some time ago purchased a tract OF
fifteen acres Immediately south of the
Morrell company packing plant. The
diagram showed about o%ne-fourth Of
this plated, showing the hog and cat
tie pens, the location of scales and
stock exchange Building. The capac-
ity of the yards as shown will ac-
commodate 5000 head of cattle and
about 1000 head of hogs. His esti-
mate as to the cost was placed at
about sec, 900. Senator Pettigrew
thinks it will cost more than that. He
stated that himself and Mr.. Pettigrew
would put up one-half of the cost of
the yards to do business and desires
that the balance of the stock be sub
scribed by the citizens of Sioux Falls
and this community. Mr.. Grigsby has
recently visited the stock yards at
Sioux City and st. Paul and gave the
names of a number of commission
firms in both cities who will open UP
offices here as o o as the yards are
ready for business.
The great value of these yards
said Mr.. Grigsby is the supplying Of
a market place where stockmen can
ship their stockers and feeders and
find q market and also a place where
farmers can always buy that class of
stock to ship to their farms to fatten
for the market" He told of the
great business being done at Sioux
City in that line. He referred also
to the fact that it would mean a
sales point where fine cattle, horses,
hogs and sheep would be sold at uc-
ton.
Senator P~ettigerw said that he had
made some money the last two years
and he was ready to invest it, as he
always had, in any good enterprise,
And it is no secret here that l have
paid for some poor judgment, but l
am here to make other investments
and | consider this stock yards prop
osition so good a thing that | am
ready to put in as much money or
O than will my friend Col. Grigs-
by. | stand ready to back the propo-
sition. l have always believed that
Sioux Falls had a great future, and
with the establishment OF the great
Morrell packing plant, the Queen Bee
mill soon to become a great FIGURING
mill industry, Sioux Falls never look
ed better to me, and / am going to
continue to show my faith in this
city by putting my money into SIOUX
Falls enterprises"
The Incorporation papers have been
sent to Pierre and stock subscriptions
will be secured as rapidly as posi-
bic.

Monument to Fosters Memory

Sioux Falls-A movement has been
i%naugurated to erect a handsome and
costly monument to the memory OF
Capt. Jack" Foster, a former Texas
cowboy, who was a pioneer Of Dakota
Territory, who gained fame as a
froniersman and frontier peace officer.
The originator of the movement is
Major Charles p. Jordan of Rosebud
Indian agency, a cousin of General
George A. Custer, and himself a from
tiersman OF considerable renown. Cap
tain Foster died about two years ago
from heart failure caused by overex-
ertion in fighting a prairie fire which
threatened to sweep a large territory
on the Rosebud reservation. At the
time and for a number Of years prior
thereto Capt. Foster was the govern
ment stock detective on the Rosebud
reservation.

Insane Over Range Law

Murdo-Driven insane by the con-
troversy as to whether there should
be a free range or closed range, a
young man named Frank Durek,
who for some time has resided
in this vicinity, was taken into GUS
today and ordeed sent to the insane
hospital at Yankton. He had been
acting queerly for some time but did
aot become violent until recently.
when he attempted to enforce the an
ti-open range by shooting such stock
as he found running at large. This
stray stock was not injuring him. but
in his insane condition he decided to
take he law into his own hands.
When located and arrested he was
engaged In skinning a colt belonging
70 a homesteader in the vicinity, he
having shot and killed the colt only
a few minutes before.

Truly Noble Red Man Dead

Wakpala-Mad Bear, who except
for John Grass, is the last of the
old generation OF Sioux Indian chiefs,
IS dead. He was the leader Of the
band which rescued the white family
from the Santees in 1868, near here.
He gave his favorite saddle horse as a
ransom for the white from
the hostiles. and with his little band
of friendlies escorted them to Fort
Pierre and turned them over to the
military. Mad Bear was greatly disap-
pointed that all efforts to induce con-
gress to grant him and his band q
medal for their act was u~navailing.

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disflgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night. his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result we
read OF the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine ana clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We al
only recommend the Cuticura RENE
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.

THE GAME LAW
Game Warden Bancroft Explains the
Several Perplexities

Pierre-In order to forestall any
misconception of the game law as it
now stands, in force and effect, State
Game Warden Bancroft has published
the following:
For the benefit of the sportsmen
of the state, who may be laboring I'M
der the impression that some material
changes were made by the last legiss
lature affecting the present game and
fish laws of the state the writer win
attempt to enlighten them as to the
real state of affairs.
"A new bill was presented to the
legislature having for its main feature
the elimination of the county game
warden system and substituting the
state deputy system. This bill passed
the lower house, but failed to pass the
senate, and thereby did not become a
law.
THE only game bills that passed
were the two bills affecting big game.
One OF them was putting a closed
season on antelope indefinitely, and
the other the big game law which
takes the place OF the old one.
his new DlS SdIle Ia" pIoulDllS
the killing Of more than one deer-and
that Of the male deer only. Under
this law a deer is the only big game
animal that may be legally killed in
this state.
Practically the old game and fish
laws, with the exception Of the above,
are now in full force and effect and
will remain so until changed by a fu-
ture legislature.
Prairie chickens may be legally
killed next fall from sept. 10 to oct.
10-the limit being ten birds per day
and not over twenty-five in possession
Of a person at any one time.
"AlI bills relating to fish and fur
bearing animals failed to pass, as did
also the game and fish commission
bill.
New county game wardens will be
appointed on July 1st throughout the
state, to serve for one year.
The state game warden has already
SEM communications to the various
boards of county commissioners in re-
gard to the recommendations for ap-
pointment of county game wardens,
insisting that we'll qualified men be
recommended"
