tailoring antiquary was John Speed. one

PROSPECTS ARE GOOD

Occasionally one will meet a man
who processes to see in the present
situation prospects for repetition of
last years condition. To us it looks
very much as If conditions had start
cd out for good old fashioned crop
season Of plenty. A year ago farmers
were in the field as early as March 6,
working with harrow or disc, and the
wind was blowing the dirt in clouds.
1t was either q heavy wind from the
south, or from the north almost daily
ldnring that month: In fact the wind
blew from January to July with let
up no more than day. There has
been very little wind since the first
OF the present year, and the seven
inches of rain that fell in September
and October is stored in the ground
at the present time. II looks to us as
II conditions right now were better
than for several years. Another fav-
orable circumstance is the fact that
the states to the south of as, Iowa,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri have
have had heavy rains. 1t is when
those states are dry that we have the
burning sun, which burns crops
from the top, and there seems little
prospect Of such an affliction this
year. 1t looks good to us.

MONEY FOR IMPROVING ROADS

Of $1,000.


Of $1,000.
The business men of Sisseton have
raised over $4,000 for good roads pur-
poses. Aside from this amount the
city organization will appropriate sew
eral thousand dollars. All of the town
ships in the immediate vicinity, and
especially those through which the so
called Meridian road is routed, have
appropriated sums varying from $500
UP to $1,000.
Roberts county has engaged extern

have voted to pay road taxes in cash.
Along the route of the Meridian
road, as planned by the state commits
sion and approved by the engineer in
charge, the Sisseton Commercial club
has been instrumental in securing
large private donations from farmers
whose properties will be benefited.
Altogether. it is estimated that on

IRRIGATION LAW HELD VOID
Judge Rice SO Declares In Sustaining
Demurrer in Case Instituted
at DeadWood.

An important ruling in state water
litigation has just been made by Judge
w. G. Rice in the circuit court at
DeadWood, when he sustained demur
rers to the complaint in the suit of
John B. Case, rancher near Spear
fish, against 172 water users of the
Spearfish and Grow Greek and Red
water rivers, in which he holds that
the irrigation law is unconstitutional
This law created the office of state
engineer and also sought to provide
that the state owns all water rights
within it's borders and that they may
be appropriated under certain regula-
lions and by permission of the state
engineer
The action of Case was brought I'M
der this act to enjoin the alleged I'M
lawful use of waters by the defend
ants, one of whom is the Homestake
Mining company, and to secure, under
court order, photographic surveys of
the streams by the state engineer
The defendants contend that the
act was unjust, in that it made all
water users unwilling parties to the
suit, in many cases the water rights
having been vested over thirty years,
and caused them to bear all costs
taxed in the suit and expenses of sur
vey. They attacked the constitutions
ality of the act on the ground that it's
title did not fairly express the subject
OF the act and that the act embraced
more than one subject.
In holding the law unconstitutional
Judge Rice referred to the fact that
the act provides for the maintenance
of the state engineer, whereas his sal
airy should be covered in the general
appropriation. This decision does not
| of necessity abolish the office of state
engineer and it is also quite likely an
appeal will be taken to the state SUI
preme court.
The decision also affects similar
| suit brought in Pennington county
against an almost similar number of
defendant water users of Rapid and
neighboring rivers.
