Capitol Park AbIaze with Lights.

Pierre.-The new lighting system
on the capitol grounds has been inau-
gurated. In celebration of the event
the townspeople turned out in great

quite a program Of music during the

system consists Of cluster lights OF
four pendent and larger globe on

FOR GOOD ROADS
PIERRE CONGRESS ON AUGUST ?,
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
cong, ess at Pierre August 81.
Ii Is the matter Of q 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 1t 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,
nc iiiaaah tiduNt u lhitit0is pooto
and the Indian camps in striking on
trast to the occasional modern rail-
road towns which dot the prairie. II
Is what the tourist from the east and
south is coming into the state to see,
and there is a su~fficiency Of II to sat
isfy 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 ap-
preparation by congress, and IL will be
a factor in the development of the
western part of the state which our
W 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 10.
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
1t 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 IN important factor in the de.
velopment Of the last great west.

The State Finances.

Pierre.-The report Of condition OF
the state treasury at the close of BUSH
ness July 81, showed cash in all funds
S59S, 1913. OF which S370,972 was in the
general fund. The sales Of Irvine
these days has swelled the revolving
fund for the Irvine plant up TO $50, III.
The game fund Is up to a little over
s31 900. 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 $500, 900. and to balance
this there was in the general fund
s37O,972, leaving the net debt of the
state at $780, 900 in round figures.
There were outstanding capitol war
rants to the amount Of s3~45,34S.7S
which are drawing six per cent. These
warrants. while issued by the state.
are q charge against the state lands
yet held for capitol purposes, and
will be taken up as fast as receipts
from the lands come In. II 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.
