Investigations made over Europe
seem to justify the belief that the
damage by lightning. in the cities par
ticularly, has decreased to a very
marked degree In recent years, and 1t
is explained by the presence of electric
wires. which act as a protection in
diverting the electric bolts. AS the
wires are put underground 1t is ex-
pected that there will be noticed a
great increase in the amount OF dam
age by lighting M a return will be
generally made to the use of lightning

Sonora, the mines being worked by an

ALL DEPENDENTS PLACED
ON SALOON BLACkLISTS

Miller, S. D., July 29.-With the tenn
perature over 100 and perspiri1g freely,
different ones have walked up to the
saloon bars in this town and ordered
a cool drink OF beer, only to be told
that they had been blacklisted and
could have none. 1t seems that during
the cold winter Of last season a num-
Der Of men had been helped with their
oal bills by the county. Investiga-
ton showed that these people had
spent muck Of their earnings in the
saloons. This caused some Of the tax
payers to have them blacklisted for
future patronage at the bars. The
plan Is causing an immense thirst
among a lot Of fellows who have never
gone with parched threats before. One
or two of them have left town on ac-
count of the interference with their
rights in the hot weather. The scheme
is working SO well from a certain point
of view that it is likely to spread to
other towns.

PANAMA ORGANIZATION
AS RECLAMATION ALLY
Prevention Of Floods South By
Spreading Flood Waters
For Irrigation.

Presho, s. D., July 9.-The fact hat
Theodore Roosevelt has recommended
the conservation Of the flood waters
Of the Mississippi for the purposes OF
reclamation in the northwest n pre-
venting the annual loss Of life and
property in the south, Is a factor In
convincing many previously skeptical
persons that the scheme Is not only
perfectly feasible, but that it is newt
able.
Mt. Roosevelt suggests that the or
ganized machinery Of the Panama
canal force be used In this marvellous
work, instead Of letting it go to waste
after the completion Of the 1sthm1an
project. The benefits of the canal
shrink into insignihcance before those
which would follow the perfection Of
q system which would replace semi
arid plains with blooming gardens n
at the same time relieve the south OF
the annual terror and destruction by
food.
The organization perfected at Fort
Pierre a short time age and known as
the Great Plains Irrigation associa-
ton, has advanced with rapid strides
in promoting the inerest and publicity
necessary for SO important a step.
The officers of h association are
almost submerged under the avalanche
or ana endorsements
which are pouring In from all over he
country. Prominent public men, gov
eminent officials, capitalists, newspa-
per mon, scientists and men from every
walk of life are recommending, endorI-
ing, offering suggestions and request
ing information.
This section Of the state is solid for
the Advancement Of h project and 1t
appears to be merely a matter of time
until the entire northwest will demand
an immediate survey.
Whether or not the original project
will be carried out in its entirety is q
questions which cannot be answered
for a certainty until the survey is
made, but there appears to be no ques-
ton but what the great plains of North
and South Dakota will be irrigated
from the Missouri river and the orig
inal project of tapping the river at
the mouth Of the Yellowstone and run
ming it southeast to White river in
South Dakota, is believed by engineer
ing experts to be the most practicable
Of the many suggested.
That this movement will become one
Of the most important Of political is
sues in the northwest Is realized by
politicians all over the country and
unsuccessful attempts have been made
to pick flaws in the procedure Of his
development organization. The fact re-
mains despite any contention to the
contrary, that this movement will do
more good to more people than any
other factor in the development of the
northwest.
