THE MEMPHIS BRIDGE

The general commercial awakening of the south has effects far reaching, and probably no anticipated improve. ment is of more real interest to Ho. Springs than the proposal to build a new railroad bridge at Memphis.
 The commercial organizations are about to promote double trach bridge across the Mississippi at that city.
 For twenty years the bridge a, Memphis, which is the only one south of St. Louis 10 span t.e Mississippi has exaetee it's ton from all points west Of the river.
 Every passenger who crosses Una. bridge pays aa extra toll for hi' fare in excess of a reasonable fee.
 Every piece of freight taken int consideration between fhis section ol the country and the factories Of tn, cast, must have that Memphis bridge fee taken care of.
 
 Every baie Of cotton and every hushel of corn must consider the bridge.
 The bridge company has in the 20 years of it's operation made its pro moters extremely wealthy at the expense of the development of that section of the country just west ot the river.
 Besides, the bridge is single track affair, and is inadequate. There Is now proposed a double trayk bridge Another bridge at iihis gateway will mean competitive rates, and will mean the release of our part of the coun- try from stranglehold of monopoly
 X new bridge at the Memphis gate Wav will also mean easier reducen rates for Hot Springs travel. The sssoissfs the business int5sests of Memphis put over that project the better off will that commercial cen ter he. and the better off will all oi that section west of the river be.

BB00CCLE Up UP LAWS
LAWMAKERS ARE BLAMED FOR
BUNGL!NG SEVERAL I'M
PORTANT BILLS
TOO MUCH RUSAAT FINISH
Large Part of Lawmaking Done the
Last Two Days of the Session
and Oversight and Err
ror Crept In

Pierre-As interested parties begin
to dig into the laws enacted at the
last session, they are finding more of
the results of pushing overworked
clerk forces at the closing hours OF
the session to get out laws which
could just as we'll have been enacted
earlier in the session. But it is a
natural result OF attempting to finish
up the work of half the session in two
days time
One OF the laws attempted was to
increase the salary OF Superintendent
Mead of the insane asylum from $500
to $4,000. The house passed the bill
at $4,000 and the senate increased it
to the higher figure. This resulted in
a conference committee which accept
ed the figure fixed by the senate, and
the report Of the conferees was accept
ed by both house. But the law filed in
the Office of the secretary of state
only places the salary at $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prison
ers to the penitentiary, the amount
asked being just what was shown to
be due by vouchers filed with the state
auditor, and at the same time $4,000
was asked to meet such bills for the
future.
While that was the bill of which
the duplicate" was sent to the print
er, the one actually introduced as the
Original" only asked for $4,000 addi-
tional and is $1,000 short on the de-
ficiencies, and some sheriff in the state
who gets in late will have to wait two
years more for his deficiency and
there will be another deficiency to
care for in the same item when the
next session meets
In providing Tor the salaries and
expenses OF the judges of the newly
created eleventh and twelfth circuits
up to the first of July, an itemized
statement of the needs was made, but
the total appropriated does not equal
the itemized statement, and these
Judges will be short of the amount
which it was expected they would
have when the bill wos introduced.
In another case there was a differ
ence on the "emergency' clause on a
bill between the two houses. The
conference committee reported that it
should be placed on the bill and both
houses accepted the report and both
law fled in the Office of the secre-
tary Goes not show any such append
age
These are few of the troubles out
side of sending 8 bill to the governor
which never passed the senate, but
they are likely only starters as to
what will develop later.

WooleY and WooseY

Pierre-When the Potter county
authorities succeeded in sending Mrs.
Hendrick and her son to Yank-

had gotten rid OF a couple Of "unde-
sirable citizens" but after short stay
at the asylum they were returned to
Potter county as sane.
After keeping them in the town
Jail for few days where they would
have a warm place to stay, and were
fed, they finally agreed to hit the
pike" if enough inducement were held
out, and they were presented with
s25 in cash, their cows were round
ed up for them and hitched to their
crazy old wagons, and they started
for the east ALLEGING that they were
heading for Redfield. They promised
not to return to Potter county again,
but the rest Of the state can expect
to see them at any time wandering
about with their COW team, looking
for a location"

INF ROVE ALFALFA
The Legislative Appropriation Of Ono
Thousand Dollars Year is to
be Used for improving
Plant by Hansen
SOME Will GO TO MEXICO
Adjutant General Englesby Announces
List Of Twenty Members of
Guard For Service on
Mexican Line

Pierre--In the last days Of the leg
islative session Prof. Hansen OF
Bookings came out and endeavored
to secure liberal appropriations for
experimentation in hardy alfalfas, but
at that time matters had become so
involved that it was not possible to
get attention for such measures.
However, $1,000 year was put in the
appropriation bill for the purpose,
which will enable some progress to be
made. 1t is said that the Siberian
variety secured nsar the north frigid
zone is producing splendidly in the
trials being made with it, but is bit
ter to the taste and is not relished by
stock. Prof. Hansen is now endeavor-
ing to breed out this bitterness.
At the same time the experiment
station is giving much attention to
an effort to render the common sweet
clover palatable as forage plant, and
the outlook for success is hopeful.
Perhaps no other plant, the buffalo
grass excepted, is so hardy as the
sweet clover so far as withstanding
drouth and cold is concerned 1t
grows luxuriantly in the subhumid
sections in the dryest years, and If 1t
can be subdued and tanned into sue
cessful forage plant one of the prob
lens of Western Dakota will be set

has attended the holding of the fairs
at Huron for the past four years, and

done, and the shape in which the state
property is in at the present time.
They are carrying fire insurance to the
amount of $4,000 on the buildings,
and profting by the trouble of year
ago, are carrying cyclone insurance
to the amount of s36,500. They show
receipts for the 1910 fair to have been
$39,6S2.95, and expenses to balance less
S2O0.12 carried in the fund. The value
of the grounds and buildings is shown
to be s143,114.
The fair has shown a net profit of
$17,346 for the years of 1907-S-9-1O,
which sum has been used in the set
Element of old debts against the fair,
and in the placing of required i'm
provements upon the grounds The
press of the state is praised for the
help which has always been extended
toward the building up of good state
fair for South Dakota, and the pro-
visions made by the last legislative
session have put the association In
shape to further increase their build
ings and grounds and put the asso-
citation on a better basis for handling

are Mellette, where the charge for
telephones per month is now 81, and
the company wants to make the rate
50 and 81; Waubay, Summit, Tyndall
and number of other towns are SIM
ilarly interested. In most instances
an automatic switchboard has been
installed and additional connections
made, which the corporation claim
justifies the increased rates.

COURT DATES CHANGED
New Law Brings Several Changes in
Counties of Ninth District


1roquois-It is not generally known
that the recent legislature passed
a bill, to which an emergency
clause was attached materially chang
ing the dates fof terms of court
in the several counties forming the
ninth judicial district. The law
wss signed by Governor Vessey, and
therefore now is in effect. One of
the most important changes made by
the new law is the giving of three
terms Of court each year to the large
and populous counties of Sphinx and
Beadle, which heretofore have had
but two terms of court per year, the
same as the other counties Of the cir
cult, with the result that the holding
and Sphinx, which adjoin, has caused
a conflict in time and the fall terms
invariably have reached into the
holiday season. The new law is de-
signed to relieve this congested con-
dition in the two counties. The new
law fixed terms of court in the cir
cult as follows: Beadle county, on
the first Tuesday in January, first
Tuesday in May, and first Tuesday
in October; Sphinx, first Tuesday in
February: first Tuesday in juno, first
Tuesday in June, first Tuesday In
November; Kfngsbury county, third
Tuesday in April and first Tuesday in
December; Miner county, third Tues
day In March and the last Tuesday
in September.
