Technical Charges Against

GLIDING Their Wives.

Colome, s. D.. July 800. L. Bower.
Six, cashier of the Bi-Metallic bank; A
D. Shepard. cashier of the South Da-
kota Loan and Trust company; his
D. B. Bowersox, parents of o. l.. Bow
ersox, were placed under arrest Friday
by Deputy United States Marshall
Carlton. Of Sioux Falls. The arrests
are based on indictments returned al
the last term of h United States court
transactions in connection with home
stead entries in Trip county. All OF
the parties furnished bonds at once and
will appear for hearing at the Sep
TENDER term Of the federal court in
Deadwood.
Persons in touch with the case de-
clare that the accused persons are abb
solutely clear of any Intentional law
violation and that the foundation OF
the case is entirely technical. In the
process of financing n assisting o
couple of relatives to obtain home
steads in Trip county, they are said
to have taken steps that may make
them amendable to the complicated
statutes relating to homestead affairs
Bankers in all towns in the homestead
districts, in the process of helping
homesteaders and trying to secure
themselves, ave infringed to some ex-
tent on the %bunglesome homestead laws,
although operating in a strictly hon
orable manner.
Much Indignation is felt here tina
Mrs. Shepard and Mrs. Bowersox
should have been dragged into the sit
uation, as it is contended that neither
m had I'M direct deals of any
Kind. 1t is taken as a sample of the
operations of the government Special
agents" who nave been infesting this
Inc other homestead districts.
The three men arrested rank very
high in this section as men of bust
ness and personal integrity. In the
matter of land holdings, Mr.. Shepard
owns so acres in Trip county, which
he homesteaded; O.. l.. Bowersox has
a homestead farm in Gregory county,
south of Dallas; and d. B.. Bowersox,
father of o. L.. owns a couple of quar-
ters in Trip.

PANAMA ORGANIZATION
AS RECLAMATION ALLY
Prevention OF Floods South By
Spreading Flood Waters
For Irrigation.

Presho, S. D., July 9.-The fact that
Theodore Roosevelt has recommended
the conservation Of the food waters
of the Mississippi for the purposes OF
reclamation in the northwest and pre-
venting the annual loss Of life and
property in the south, Is a factor IN
convincing many previously skeptical
persons that the scheme Is not only
perfectly feasible, but that 1t is newt
able.
Mr.. Roosevelt suggests that the or
ganized machinery Of the Panama
canal force be USED in this marvellous
work, instead of letting it go to waste
after the completion Of he 1sthInian
project. The benefits Of the canal
shrink Into insignificance before those
which would follow the perfection Of
a system which woul replace semi
arid plains with blooming gardens and
at the same time relieve the south of
the annual terror and destruction by
food.
The organization perfected at Fort
Pierre a short time ago and known as
the Great Plains Irrigation associa-
ton, has advanced with rapid strides
In promoting the inerest and publicity
necessary for so important a step.
The officers of the association are
almost submerged under the avalanche
Of concentrations n endorsements
which are pouring in from all over the
country. Prominent public men, gov
eminent officials, capitalists, newspa-
per men. scientists and men from every
walk of life are recommending, endorS-
ing, offering suggestions n request
ing information.
This section of the state is solid for
the advancement of the project and 1t
appears to be merely a matter Of time
until the entire northwest will demand
an immediate survey.
Whether OF not the original project
will be carried out in it's entirety Is q
questions which cannot be answered
for a certainty until the survey Is
made, but there appears to be no ques-
ton but what the great plains Of North
and South Dakota will be irrigated
from the Missouri river and the orig
nal project Of tapping the river at
the mouth of the Yellowstone and rum
ming it southeast to White river in
South Dakota, is believed by engineer
Ing experts to be the most practicable
of the many suggested.
That this movement will become one
Of the most important of political is
sues in the northwest is realized by
politicians all over the country and
unsuccessful attempts have been made
to pick flaws in the procedure of this
development organization. The fact re-
mains despite any contention to the
contrary, hat this movement will do
more good to more people than any
other factor in the development of the
northwest.
