EXPLORING DEAD SEA
Scientists Sounding Waters Of
Oldest Known Lake.
Motives OF Expedition Said to Be
Purely Seientifie-No Elements Of
CommerciaIism Entering Into
Ultimate Object.

Jerusalem.-An expedition, the pur-
pose of which is thoroughly to explore
the Dead sea and its environs under
the leadership of DR.. Bruhl of the Uni,
versity of Berlin, has just arrived
from Europe and continued to the
scene of its future operations.
The motives of the expedition, so 1t
is emphatically averred by DR.. Bruhl,
are purely scientific, with absolutely
no elements Of commercialism enter
Ing into its ultimate object.
The work of exploration will con-
sist in the major part OF sounding the
depth Of verious sections Of the lake
as well as Analysing the complex
composition of it's waters, studying its
shores, investigating TIE nature Of the
different minerals that are said to
abound in that region, exploring, as
far as Is possible, the channels Of the
many rivers and hot water streams,
apart from the Jordan, which flow
into the sea, from both the eastern
and western mountain ranges that
hem its shores, examining and classify.
ing the varieties of fish that exist in
large numbers only in the extreme
southeastern section of the lake,
which consists mainly of shadows and
marshes.
1t must be remembered In this con-
nection that it has always been firm
ly maintained by those who visited
the Dead sea and wrote treatises
about it long ago that no fish of any
kind a make their habitat in any
part of 1t, and this long established
belief was disproved only recently by
a pleasure party of Americans, long
resident in the country, who visited
the southern end of the lake and dis
covered fish.
So it remains for the members of
the German expedition TO arrive at
the causes, which undoubtedly must

Pursued by Wolves.

Belle Fourche.-While driving in q
light buggy from Meadow, to Ada in
Perkins county, Mrs. Louis Thomp'
son and Miss T~ewksberry, two young
women, had an experience with
wolves that they are likely to remem'
Der. The women were driving over
for the mail and had got some distance
when they became awaret that they
were being followed by two large, hun
CRY and gaunt looking grey wolves
They proceeded faster and so did the
wolves, which finally came almost to
the buggy. The women had no weap'
ons, but had a young wolf hound
with them which they turned on the
wolves which resulted in a fight be-
tween the wolves themselves and the
women managed to escape and
reached Ada in safety.

N by imposition OF SiUo lax on

Gam yalley.-The new proposed
line of railroad that is to connect
Mitchell, S. d., with Blunt, S. D., is pro-
crossing rapidly and the promoters
have every assurance that the work
will be far enough along by early
spring to start the construction. This
road is being promoted by the land
owners, each Of whom contracts to
pay in 500 per quarter section IL the
road is to run within eight miles or
the land.
AZ the present time over 80 per cent
Of the resident owners have signed
the contracts and with the proper CO.
operation of the non-residents the road
will be an assured fact. The promoters
have Just commenced to send u the
contracts to the non-residents n TO
date have met with fine success, hav
ing received every contract all signed
up. With a fair degree OF success for
the next 60 days, there will be enough
subscribed to make the road an as
sured fact.
l.. o. Goodman of this place has just
returned from a trip through Iowa
and points east and reports the on
residents as being very much in favor
of the road as it will open a large
territory that has been held back
from diverse farming due to the long
distance from railroad towns. This
line will pass through Buffalo, Je-
rauld, Hyde and parts of Dawson and
Hughes counties and will be about
125 miles long.

Great interest has been aroused In
Australia by the discovery Of some old

the barque Endeavor in which Captain
Cook discovered Australia, which are
in the possession Of the Austria

apparently been in Sydney for a long

See Riches In swamps.

The Russian department OF agricul-
tuer has founded at the Riga Poly
technic a school for specialists in
swamp cultivation. The North Pc
chora expedition worked many years
with great success in the desert
ed region of the northern swamps. and
proved that the swamps Of the Arch
angel province are full of wealth, and
that millions of peasants. devoured
by poverty and hunger in their native
places, can find food and shelter in
the swampy regions after their culti-
walton. With small expense the
swamps can be turned into land COW
cred with rich grass.

A Good Move

Pierre.-A general movement is un.
der way among the bankers of this
state to present to the neyt Legislative
session a law similar to the Kansas
blue sky" enactment, which Is said
to be doing good work in that state.
The proposed law will require corpora
tons which propose doing business ir
this state to show to the state bank
examiner that they have a foundation
Of fact, and that there is a chance OF
the investor getting a return on his
investment. Agents Of any stock cor
yoration will be required to secure
certificates from the state banking de-
partment before they a solicit bus
mess, and unless they can convince
this authority that their scheme has
enough merit in it to promise actuA
cash returns for the investment
they will be refused the desired per-
mission to do soliciting, with a peni'
tertiary penalty attached for viola
ton.

PRODUCTSW|LLvA VARY
STATE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF
DIVERSIFIED FARMING DUR
ING PRESENT YEAR.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, TIE Various
State Institutions and Oh,
ferent Parts OF the
stats.

Pierre.-Diversity OF agricultural
endeavor appears to be the Keynote
for the people of South Dakota for
the year 1912. This is to be shown
in many different ways. Not only in
the indications toward the increase in
variety of production Of the state, but
also in the means of transformation
of the products into merchantable
crops within the border of the state.
In this line might be mentioned the
heavy increase in the acreage which
will be devoted to irrigation within
the state this year. Thousands OF
acres along the streams of the west
pared for this manner of cultivation,
many of those who are preparing for
the carrying of water to their lands,
making such preparations as they may
as a matter of insurance"
If the rains fall at the proper time
the irrigation will not be needed. If
there comes a time when there is a
shortage of moisture just when the
moisture is most needed for the per-
feet crop, they will be in a position
to supply the need. This very fact is
calling out another method of develop
ment in that Of picking and canning
plants. The irrigation work has at
tracted managers of such industries,
and one large picking firm has agreed
to put in a plant at Fort Pierre in
cas- the people of that town will guar
antee such an acreage Of the products
they need so as to assure them Of
the required raw material. The irriga-
ton is a step toward such insurance.
Another is in the line of canning
plants, a proposition having been
made to open such an industry in this
city with the came assurance as have
been asked of Fort Pierre for their
plant. and as there already is a large
acreage along the river on this side
prepared for irrigation, and other
acreage which can cheaply and easily
be placed in that list, the indications
are that the assurance will be given.
In the southwestern part of the
state. the raising of sugar beets Is to
be given a practical trial this year.

seed and instructions a. to the best
manner of raising and hauling the
product, with a tentative promise that

ton which is established at lot
Springs is another proposition which
will mean a great deal to the state.
While the promoters of that plan are
enthusiastic, and their plan is largely
experimental as yet, they insist that
they have a proposition which will
mean thousands, and a heavy increase
in alfalfa acreage all w the state.
These along with the growth of the
dairy interests, mean that from this
time on the state expects to manufac.
ture many of it's products instead of
shipping them in the raw state" and
secure the benefits Of such manufac-
ture.
