The State Finances.

Pierre.-The report of condition of
the state treasury at the close of bust
ness July 81, showed cash in all funds
s59S, 1873. of which $~37O,972 was in the
general fund. The sales of Irvine
these days has swelled the revolving
fund for the Irvine plant up to s 2,771.
The game fund is up to a little over
$4,000, and the matter of disposal of
this will be considered by hunters of
the state, at a meeting called by Game
Warden Bancroft at Huron during
Warden Bancroft at Huron during state
fair week. The debt of the state on
warrants, was $4,000 and to balance
this there was in the general fund
$37O,972, leaving the net debt of the
state at 100000 in round figures.
There were outstanding capitol war
rants to the amount of $~345,348.78,
which are drawing six per cent. These
warrants, while issued by the state,
are a charge against the state lands
yet held for capitol purposes, and
will be taken up as fast as receipts
from the lands come in. If the state
were bonded for the amount of these
warrants the interest could no doubt
be reduced considerably, but for some
reason the powers that be do not take
such a step.

FOR GOOD ROADS
PIERRE CONGRESS ON AUGUST q
TO PROVE OF IMPORTANCE
TO STATE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Presho.-Now that South Dakota
has two highways established across
the state east and west and the me
ridian road east of the river running
north and south is a certainty, another
matter of equal or more Importance
will be discussed at the good roads
congress at Pierre August q.
1t is the matter of a north and
south road running west of the river
and continuing on up into North Da-
kota to the mouth Of the Yellow
stone, following as near as possible
the proposed course of the Great
Plains irrigation canal.
Besides giving publicity to the gov
eminent irrigation project it will open
up that portion of the great plains of
the Dakotas. which is known as the
last great west and which for tourists
is unmapped and almost inaccessible
from the south.
Here We have the western scenery,
the real home of the real cattle and
sheepmen, the soddy, the first settler,
the Indian trader, the military posts
aud the Indian camps in striking con-
road towns which dot the prairie. 1t
IL what the tourist from the east and
south is coming into the state to see,
ind there is a sufficiency of it to sat
lsfy the cravings of the most Ian
guild tenderfoot and to replace his en-
nui with a longing for some of the
decided farm land or a slice of Uncle
Sans free homestead land.
The fact that this road will open a
route to the free government lands
should be a factor in inducing an APP
preparation by congress, and it will be
a factor in the development of the
western part of the state which our
own state officials cannot overlook.
Lyman county expects to send a del
egation to urge this matter at the con-
vention and the matter will be taken
up at once with the Commercial bod
les of Ziebach, Corson and Stanley
counties who are interested in this
move.
The success of this scheme will start
an influx into this territory even be-
fore the work on the canal is COM
menced.
The fact that there is no north and
south railroad through this territory
is all the more reason why this auto
road should be built. For once in the
state of South Dakota it would be well
for the automobile to precede the To-
connective in opening up this last great
west to the world. There are plenty
of automobile concerns who are will
ing and anxious for this publicity and
it is only a matter of the state road
organization grasping this opportunity
and using it to advantage.
The officers of the Great Plains Irri-
cation association have signified their
intentions of cooperating with the
good roads congress in agitating this
matter and will lend their assistance
in establishing the Great Plains canal
road as an important factor in the de-
v~o1npmoOt Of tno 1act GREAT wacf

TALKS ON INVESTMENTS
Corporation Bonds.

Investors in the eastern and New
England states always have been
great buyers of corporation bonds.
Semi-annual coupons of this class of
securities have added much to the
wealth of those sections.
Many individuals and many estates
in the "effete east" owe their vast
accumulations of this worlds goods
to this source of investment and by
reinvesting interest until colossal
fortunes have been built up.
When the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society bGilding of New York
city was destroyed by fire early in
the present year, there were over
one billion dollars in money and Sc
eurities-mostly the latter-locked
up in the freproof vaults of that
building.
Corporation bonds usually bear a
good rate of interest and the cumu-
lative force of reinvested income
therefrom grows astonishingly fast.

order to stop further fighting. White
flags appeared all along the rife pits,
but none on the fort itself. To Grants
message he replied that he was COM
PEELED by circumstances to accept the
''ungenerous and unchivalrous terms"
proposed. On receiving this second let
ter Grant mounted his horse and rode
along the lines toward the little vii
lage Of Dover, where the Confederate
headquarters were located. Firing had
ceased on both sides, and on reaching
the Confederate outposts in front of
Dover Grant was not challenged. He
continued on to the little two story,
implanted tavern which has become
historic as the scene of the famous
that General Lew Wallace was already
in consultation with his old enemy,
Buckner.
Wallace commanded the Federal
troops nearest to Dover and had had
his soldiers astir before the break of
day, intending TO charge the Confed-
crate breastworks as soon as it became
light enough to maneuyer. The regi-
ments were forming for the purpose
when bugle blast across the lines an
nounced the approach of flag Of truce.
The truce officer stated that Buckner
had decided to surrender the fort and
garrison, numbering 1900 TO $4,000
men, and asked that there be no more
firing. Wallace gave orders TO his bri-
gade commanders TO advance and take
