adwood-Putting Deadwood and
the Black Hills on a transcontinental
automobile highway is strongly advo-
Gated by Capt. Seth Bullock, United
States marshal for South Dakota.
Capt. Bullock has figured out a pro-
posed route for the highway that
would prove attractive for autoists
and has presented the matter to the
Deadwood Business club for their sup
port. The route crosses the east line
of the state in Brookings county, goes
through Brookings. thence to Huron,
then to DeSmet and west to Pierre,
then over the old Deadwood trail north
of the Bad Lands to Rapid City and
north to Deadwood. thence to Lead,
through the Spearfish canyon and
northwest through the Black Hills,
past Devils Tower, Wyo., through
Sheridan, Clusters Battlefield. Mont,

continental auto road is now being
urged by other states and Capt. Bull
lock believes that South Dakota
should be in line to receive its bene-
fits.

PRICE Is rnE SAME.
No Slump in Price Of Land Acros
the River.

Plerre.-That the conditions west of
the Missouri river the past summer
have not materially affected the selling
price of real estate is evidenced by a
recent sale of a quarter section near
Ottumwa. in central Stanley county
for $4,000. The expected slump in
prices which was looked for in the
western half of the state has not
come, and the chances are that those
who have been expecting to make in
vestments in cheap lands in that part
OF the state will have to pay about the
prevailing prices of the past two years
or not get what they want in the way
of lands
Another broom factory for the west
river country has started at Murdo.
This makes three such factories in the
western part of the state; one at Belle
Fourche; one at Cottonwood; and one
at Murdo, all being operated with
product raised in their immediate vi
cinity While the past year has not
been the best for the raising of broom
corn, the product has been sufficient
to keep the home factories operating,
and the success in that line will no
doubt stimulate the raising of broom
corn all over the western half of the
state.
kadoka township voted $4,000 for
road work, and this has been appor-
toned in the various road districts OF
the township, to be worked out under
a general township plan. Beside Civ
ing the town good roads, the work con-
templates the construction of 81 dams
for the conserving of surface waters Of
the township.

Deposits Show Decrease.

Plerre.-The report of j. l.. Wing
field public examiner, for call of con-
dition of the state banks in South Da-
kota, on the date of September /,
shows that there has been a decrease
OF over $1.000,000 in the personal de-
posits in that class of banks since the
call of June Z last The savings depos-
its show an increas of $T9, ,4S3.74
while the checking and time certifl-
Gates of deposit show reduction of
more than 100000. The individual
accounts of different classes carried
in the 500 state banks on the first of
September amounted to $45, ,7S1 ,624, of
which more than $l9,0O0,OOO was car
red in the checking or daily business
accounts of the people; over $23, ,000,-
600 was carried in the time certificate
accounts, and the balance in savings
and demand certificate accounts. At
the June call the national banks of the
state were carrying $2S,000,0O0 in
their checking and time accounts, and
with practically the same reduction in
their deposits as is shown in the state
bank accounts, the total individual de-
posits of the people in the banks of
this state will run over $72,000,000.
which showing is not one which would
indicate that South Dakota has suf-
fered material damage from one year
of dry weather. In fact the withdraw
ais would not more than pay the auto
debt of the state for the time covered.

Then with bowlfuls of popcorn and

jolly aunt, who announced that the
last half hour was to be devoted to
something very weird and "IIallow-

she tossed a tablespoonful of salt and
poured alcohol upon it from a silver

match it blaZed up in a blue uncanny

Freshmen Win Bag Rush.

Brookings-In one of the most inter-
esting class fights in the history Of
South Dakota colleges, the Freshman
class at the State College won the bag
rush against the Sophomores. The
fight lasted twenty-five minutes, and
only the superior numbers of the fresh
man class enabled them to carry the
three bags across the opponents goal.
Several hundred town people. besides
the students witnessed the sport. also
the cnorus from the Golden Girl, which
was playing in Brookings. The bag
rush was a great success from all
standpoints. and aside from few bat
tered ribs and riddled clothing but few
injuries were sustained by the parti-

this course are connected with the col

Township Bonds.

Pierre. Many townsmen in the
western part of the state are taking up
the matter of bonding their townships,
and incidentally with road construc-
ton. the building of dams for the inn
pounding of flood waters. to retain
as much OF the surface water as they
can hold. Ash Creek township, in
northwestern Stanley. will vote on an
issue of $4,000 for that purpose. and
Hayes township in the same county
on an issue of $1,000. In the vicinity
of Murdo, in Lyman county, five differ
ent township have taken up the work
with sums ranging from $4,000 to S5,-
600. The state immigration depart
ment has taken up the work of secur-
ing purchasers for such securities. and
finds that when they can secure the
securities of several townships in
block they can get better offers than
for smaller issues of single townships.
This work will mean, when completed,
that the public highways in the west
ern counties of the state will be
among the best of dirt roads. and the
townships benefited not only by their
roads, but by the water tney can hold
in the dams as we'll.

Funds Needed for immigration Jaunt.

Pierre.-When the legislature appro-
priated but $500 for the operation of
the immigration department for it's
first year, the commercial clubs over
the state agreed to assist in swelling
this sum for the proper showing on the
part of the state In this line num-
Der of the clubs have been sending in
cash to assist in making showing at
the Chicago and ST. Paul land shows,
and this has been credited to the fund
for the department.
The department has also received an
invitation for this state to join in the
Governors Special which is to be
train of nine cars which leaves ST
Paul about the 25th of November for
months tour of eastern states, to be
accompanied by the governors of diff
ferent northwestern states. and also
to carry exhibits of the states interest
ed. The state is asked to donate
s1,500 for it's share of the expense of
this trip, but there is not any fund to
draw on for the purpose. and unless
funds are furnished by commercial
clubs for that purpose, it is not likely
that this state can take part in this
movement
