the history of the Association.
The deficit from the last Fair, caus-
ed by the rain on two of the Fair
days was promptly made up by those
present and the payments of premiums
awarded at the Fair will he taken up
at once by the treasurer and the pre-
miums will be paid in full

ing these roads of which there are six
principale lines, aggregating owe 1000
miles in length.
The report contains recommends
tions for more explicit regulations for
dams and reservoirs, light amend
ment to the drainage laws and adj
equate legislative provision for the
work of the engineering department.,
The suggestion is made that the dut-
les OF the department. be defined by a
code. embodying in. one act allneces-
sary requirements and limitations.
1t is strongly recommended that a
sufficient allowance be made by the
Legislature for resuming Hydrograph-
ic surye.. work. which was dropped
for lack of appropriation bv the Leg
islatura of 1911. Several large irriga-
ton projects in the western part of
the state are hanging fire because of
lack of knowledge concerning hyd-
rographic conditions on streams from
which it is proposed to obtain the
water supply.
A recommendation is made for CO.
operation between the states and the
U. S. Geological survey in complet-
ing the topographic mapping Of this
state. This work is done by the Fed
eral government which defrays half
the expense, the state paying 1.-THE
other half. -.

SHRANK PLEADS
GUILTY TO CRIME.

Milwaukee, Nov. 12--Johp Shrank
pleaded guilty today to the charge of
attempting to murder Colonel Roose-
velt and in his plea lie sought to dis
tinguish be tween an assault upon
Roosevelt as menace" and an at
tack upon Roosevelt as citizen.
Judge Backus announced upon read
ing the petition of District Attorney
w, @. label that he would name later
today commission to examine into
his mental condition. Less than $50
listened to the proceedings and watch
ed the small compact form of Shrank
as he stepped to the bar and entered
his plea. OF this number many were
detectives and half score of police
men who watched persons who enter
ed the room not known to them.
The case was the first action of the
court.
"Is there any matter to come be-
fore the court" inquired the Judge.
There is the case of the state of
Wisconsin against John Shrank, - re-
piled the district attorney, who read
the complaint in which he was acCus-
ed Of making an assault on one
Theodore Roosevelt with deadly
weapon and with intent then and
there to kill and slav the said Theo-
dore Roosevelt"
How do you plead to this charge, I"
the prosecutor asked the prisoner
standing at his elbow, holding black
oyercoat over his arm.
"Why, guilty, Mr.. Zabel," replied
the prisoner, as though NOT sure he
was following the proper procedure.
"Yo.t have heard the complaint" "
interposed the judge in a loud voice.

REPORT OF. THE Y
STATE ENGINEER


The Fourth Biennial report of the
state engineer has been submitted. TO
the Governor.
This report COMPRISES synopsis OF
the work done by the engineering de-
partment of the state daring 1911 and
1912, 1t also contains recommel da
tions and suggestions for future work
of the department.
The principal subjects discussed in
the report are irrigation, drainage
and good roads. 1t is shown that
much progress has bee2 made In irri-
CATION work in the state during the
last two years, while drainage opera
tons haye been practically at a stand-
still
The statistics relating to irrigation
in the state show that there is one
United States Reclamation project at
Belle Fourche; this comprises a total
irrigation area of $4,000 acres. The
acreage entered is 10000 and area
open to entry is 10000 acres. This
project is about 81 per cent complet-
ed and much of the land is under cul-
tivation A good supply of water is in
the big reservoir and water users are
receiving sufficient for their needs.
OF privately irrigated lands there is
a total area of 101, ,6S5 acres. The
number of farms irrigated will aggre-
gate 500. There have been 3l4 small
reservoirs reported and it is probable
that the total number will exceed
500.
The number of small pumping sta
tions for irrigation now in operation
and for which applications have been
made is 70. There are also six pump
ing plants taking water from the Mis-
souri, river. making a total of s.
plants in the state of which there i
record. The irrigable area .watered
by these pumping plants aggregate
Il, ,O56 acres. 1t is probable; that this
area will be largely increased for ap'
plications are being received dailv al
' the En9ineer's office.
With regard to public roads, there
are about 81, 900 miles of section line
roads in thS-states Since the recent
good roads movement began, public
sentiment has crystallized in favor o
trunk highways across the state This
