BIG DISTRIBUTION AT

Chamberlain. S. D., Aug. Gone of

number of years ago all the Indians on
the reservation over the age of 81
years, both male and female, were is
sued cows, calves, mares. colts, wag-
ons, farm Implements and many other
articles, in addition to a cash payment
of $50 each. The present payment Is of
a similar character, and is being paid
TO those Indians, both male and female,
who have become of the legal age Of
q since the previous issue. There will
be a total of 125 to participate in the

AUTO HIGHWAY WHICH
Will LEAD TOURISTS
TO LAND OF PROMISE
Scenic Tour Through Area Pro,

Flood Waters.

Presho, S. D., Aug. Snow thai
South Dakota has two highways es.
tablished across the state east anc
west and the meridian road east of thu
river running north and south is s
certainty, another matter of equal OF
more Importance will be discussed a.
the good roads congress at Pierre, Aug
ust 81.
1t is the matter Of a north n south
road running west Of the river, anc
continuing on up into North Dakota tt
the mouth of the Yellowstone, follow
ing as near as possible the proposed
course of the great plains irrigation
canal.
Besides giving publicity to the gov
mt irrigation project, 1t VIII oper
up that portion of the great PLAINS OF
the Dakota 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
sheepman, the soddy, the first settler
tn Indian trader, the military posts anc
the Indian camps in striking contrast
to the occasional modern railroad
towns which dot the prairie. 1t Is
what the tourist from the east and
south is coming into the state to see
and there is a sufficiency of it to salts
fly the cravings of the most languid
tenderfoot and to replace his nnu
with a longing for some of the decided
farm land or a slice of Uncle Sans
free homestead land.
The fact hat 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 u
own state officials cannot overlook.
Lyman county expects to send a del
egation to urge his matter at the con-
vention and the matter will be taken
up at once with the commercial bodies
of Zlebach, CorSon and Stanley coun-
ties 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 TACT 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 woul be we'll
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 willing
and anxious for this publicity and it is
only a matter of the state roa organ
ization g%rasping this opportunity and
using it to advantage.
The officers of the Great Plains Ir-
rigation 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-
velopment Of the last great west.

DO fishes remember? A scientist who
has been investigating the question
found that by placing q red cylinder
containing food and also an empty
green cylinder in the aquarium with
a single fish the latter soon learned to
enter the red cylinder each time it
was immersed and avoided the other
one. Moreover. the fish went into the
red vessel and waited until some
crumbs were dropped into it, which
he then ate. At other times the fish
entered the ba1ted red vessel even
though he did not appear to desire
food. seeing hat he did not eat at
such times. The factor of hunger was
therefore eliminated here and the ex-
istence of a habit or a reflex action
was proved.
