Insure Bumper Farm Crops.

Madison.-The improvement in the
crop situation throughout South Dako-
ia because of the recent heavy rains
has resulted in a revival of iHess
of all kinds in all parts of thBlocke.
The rains extended to praop.cally
all parts of the state and have made
a wonderful difference in the crop sit
uation. Now people are talking with
confidence Of South Dakota this year
producing a wheat crop which will
bring the farmers of the state a reve-
nue. of $780, 900, 900. ,
With one or two timely rains there
now appears little doubt that the state
will this year raise small grain, corn
and other crops worth between $175,-
100000 and 5000, 900, 600 this including
a $4,000, 900 gold production in the
Black Hills.
Some early sown grain is being har-
vested in a few limited localities, this
being confined to fall barley and rye.
Barley thus far harvested in Aurora
county will yield about 10 bushels to
the acre. A rye field which has been
harvested nea Murdo, Lyman county,
is estimated to yield from 25 to 40
bushels to the acre.

ed the party in the 1908 campaign.
The end of the convention was, how
ever. a~stonishingly harmonious consid'
ering the acrimonious debates that
have marked its early meetings. This
was largely due to the fact that the
presidency Of the party is regarded In
the hearts Of the delegates as an hon
orary position only and also that a
forfeit of $500 would accrue II the con-
vention wen over another day.
The first man to take the rostrum
and place a candidate before the dele
gates was F. ]. sibley Of Arizona.
chairman Of the resolutions commit

Of Eugene w. Chain.
Chain won the nomination on the
first ballot with 594 votes out of q
possible s67.
F. w. Pearson, a close friend of Vir-
gil g. Hinshaw, the newly elected ma
tional chairman, took the floor and
moved to make the nomination unani-
nous. This was done.
Watkins. the vice-presidential nomi.
nee, was nominated by reclamation
after leading his competitors in two
ballots.
The flame Of d%issension again rose
high in the convention, however, when
the matter of electing national COM

ton vote in each state was brought
before the delegates.
The present national convention is
1nsurgent and the reelection Of the

would mean a standpat victory. 1t

Aberdeen.-The South Dakota Vet

Aberdeen, AZ veterinarians being pres

the next South Dakota legislature to
have the state law governing the
practice of veterinarian, so amended
that only graduates of approved col
leges car be licensed in the state. The
state board of examiners in veterinary
medicine and surgery held a meet.
ing during the convention, and grant
ed the applications Of IA veterina-

Socialist List Barred.

Pierre.-The socialists have attempt
ed to file a list of electors to be placed
upon the ballot at the November cleo
ton, but the state secretary will de-
cline to dle them, as the certificate
shows that they were selected at a
convention held at Sioux Falls on the
9Th day Of June, when the primary
law provides tina all political parties
in the state shall meet in state n
vention on the first Tuesday in July
following the primary, and that in 1912
and quadrenially thereafter they shall
at such convention select their list OF
electors and file the same with the
secretary of state. No attempt was
made to hold a convention on the legal
date fixed, but instead the certificate
shows that the convention was held
several weeks earlier. AS the matter
stands, it appears that the socialists
will have trouble getting their list Of
electors upon the ballot.

Weight Putters.

Stockholm, July 1.-THE 1,500-meter
fiat race Wednesday at the Olympic
games furnished M of the greatest
thrills of the meeting. A harder strug-
gle has seldom been seen on the Gin
der path. Melvin w. Shepard, I. A. A.
c., drew the inside place for the start,
with H. H. Arnaud, France; John Paul
Jones, Cornell; Oscar F. Hedlund,
Boston A. A., and A. N. S. Jackson,
England. in the order named.
The race in the last 100 yards was
a magnificent one. Until the leaders
were within ten yards of the tape the
event might have belonged either to
Jackson or Abel Kiviat, Irish-Amert-
can A. c.
A new Olympic record was created

There were four Americans in the

FEES.
This Is Most Important Subject 10
Cattle Raisers.

Pierre.-The state live stock SAM
tary board, at it's meeting here practi-
cally remodeled the rule under which
it's works, and the amended regula-
lions will be out in a short time. One
proposition which will be of more in
terest to the general public than most
of the regulations of hat depart
ment of the state is fixing fees for in
spections. The list has been placed
at 81 for clinical inspection of an
animal; 50 for Malline test, with a
minimum of S. per day and expenses
for the inspector, and a maximum of
$40 and expenses. In other words,
for a test on one animal the charge
would be not less than So and ex-
penses, while for any number which
could be tested in one day the charge
would not exceed $40 and expenses.
While the members of the board
declare scabies to be practically ex-
terminated west of the river, there are
yet infected herds east of the river,
but the disease is well under control
in the state, and by a little care can
be eliminated this year. To this end
one Of TIE new rules provides for no.
tice to owners of stock running at
large to s alher and confine them if
affected with infectious disease, and
in case of failure of the owner to
comply the board by a representative
will take such action and charge same
to the owner.

PLEADS FOR DELAY
GREAT BRITAIN'S REQUEST TO
HALT CANAL BILL is RE-
FUSED BY UNITED STATES.
CLAIMS VIOLATION OF TREATY
Provisions Favorln9 American Coast.
wise Vessels and Barring Railroad
Owned Ships Result In Complaint
to State Department.

Washington, July 12.-Great Brit
ain has requested that the enactment
of the Panama canal administration
ell lines. the British charge, can pre-
sent a note in behalf Of his govern
ment. This move confronts congress
and the state department with an ex
traordinary situation, but is likely te
have little effect in delaying the pas
sage Of the canal bill, according tc
leading senators.
The request for delay has been com
m~unicated to the senate ~interoceanic
canals committee. 1t came from the
summer embassy at Kineo, Me-, and
was sent by Mr.. Innes, acting for Am
bassador Bryce, who il in New Zea-
land.
While the reasons for the request
arc not stated in the charges note,
there is no doubt that the British gov.
eminent is concerned in the clause to
grant free passage through the canal
to American vessels in coastwise
sage of railroad-owned ships. The
Canadian railways are deeply concern
ed in both, and 1t Is thought that
some of the representations will be
made in their behalf.
The canal bill is now In the senate
committee. with the prospect Of being
reported soon. and will then go to con-
ference with the house. Congressman
at both ends Of the capitol feel that
II any Panama legislation is to be had
1t must be at this session Of congress.
The exigencies which have arisen by
the necessary reductions Of the work
Ing force as the canal approaches COM
pletion, make legislation necessary II
a permanent organization is to be set
up in tho canal m to the best ad-
vantage. It was said her that mem
beers Of both houses were not agree
able to much delay nov
One of the provisions in the bill as
It now stands would make 1t impos-
sible for Canadian railroad ships to
pass through the canal IL they IN
gagged in coastwise trade. Then the
question OF free tolls to certain
classes of American ships involves the
old question Of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty.
1t is believed that the British gov
eminent will hold that ships of all
nations must be on an equal basis.
1t seems certain that any represen-
tations the British 60 .ernment may
make will be supported by Germany
and France and perhaps other Euro
pean powers. The matter of moment
is how far those powers may go to
sustain a protest against the proposed
control Of the Panama canal by the
United States.

TO Divert WATERS
PROPOSITION MADE TO UTILIZE
YELLOWSTONE AND MISSOURI
RIVERS FOR IRRIGATION.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and from
Many Different Parts OF
the Sunshine State.

Pierre.-H. c. Barlow OF Fresno IS
urging his plan for the construction
of a storage dam at the mouth OF the
Yellowstone river, and a drainage pan
to extend from that point in a south
easterly direction to empty into Whlte
river not far from the mouth OF thai
stream. His plan looks SO strongly In
his ideas of conservation that he mas
asked the people of western South Da-
kota to meet him at the court house
in Fort Pierre for the purpose OF form
ing a preliminary organization for Sc
curing this improvement. His call
goes into the details of his plan, which
has for its purpose the spreading of
surplus water of the Missouri river
over the plains of western South Da-
kota, and at the same time holding
back that much of the water which
works havoc and so many millions OF
dollars of loss every year on the low-
er Mississippi section of the country.
Mr.. Barlow does not look upon his
plan as an easy proposition to carry
out so far as the financial features are
concerned, but insists that 1t is en-
tirely feasible so far as the physical
features are concerned, as such a
ditch would have a fall Of about two
feet to the mile, and would supply wa
ter to an immense scope of country
in which irrigation can be USED to ad.
vontage for most of the years. His
call for next Tuesday is backed by the
commercial clubs of Presho and Fort
Pierre, who are willing to assist in
the movement all along the line, botE
preliminary and permanent.
