Pierre.-About ten years ago a mum
Der of small sized artesian wells were
sunk in western Sully county, and
some of these have ceased to flow on
account of the rusting out of the pipes,
and their filling with mud. A well drill
ing crew is now at work in that coun-
ty recasing these old wells, and the
flow is as strong as ever as soon as
they are recaSed.

Concrete ~DriveWays.

Pierre.-The contractors for the
grading on the capitol grounds have
put a large force of men at work, be-
ginning on the main driveway to the
front Of the building. The ca2itol COM
mission has decided that concrete is
the best material for the driveways on
the grounds as we'll as for the walks,
and this material will be used for
both classes of work in the improve
ments, and will no doubt be used to a
large extent in the dam for the lake
on the grounds when that part of the
improvement is commenced.

into effect until after a vote is taken
in the general election of next year, a
move has been started at Dupree, Ile-

these animals under the protection of

New Artesian Wells.

Pierre.-Assistant State Engineer s.
R. Green has gone to Nitteberg in
northwestern Stanley county, to make
surveys for locations of several arte-
sian wells which are to be sunk at
township expense. This township is
on the divide between the tributaries
of Bad river and Cheyenne river, and
if the artesian flow can be secured in
that section it will be a great benefit
to the western part Of the state, where
the question of the flow coming to the
surface has never been tried out.

Inspection Law Complained Against.

Pierre.-There is complaint in re-
gard to the workings Of the last cattle
inspection law of the state. Under Its
provisions no cattle can be loaded on
ears until they have been Inspected
and been given a clear health certifi-
cate. The principal complaint appears
to be that inspectors cannot be Sc
cured without much delay, especially
where there are but a few head to be
inspected for shipment. OF course
where the shipments are large, the in
spectors are notified in advance, and
get around, but where a settler wants
to ship a few head he is often delayed
several days in the making of his ship
ment.
