Snlace La Books.

A woman who used to drag through
the dav in a vainglOriOus effort to kill
time" was persuaded to take recourse
to a circulating library near at hand.
Until this solution of the time prob
lem was virtually thrust upon her she
was ignorant Of books, especially cur
rent editions, as she was Of the fourth
dimension, though she had been
something of a reader in ~girlhood days.
After forcing herself to wade through
three volumes, the old love Of books,
lying dormant, suddenly awakened to
renewed activity, and the life Of the
woman, from being n Of many hum
drum days, given to watching the clock
house, has come to be one of an end
less succession of exciting and inter.
and aimless wandering through the
esting events, while her hours are peo.
pied with an e~veryvarying procession
of unusual personalities which march
through the pages of good fiction.
For her books have given a new zest
to living, and she is anxious to pass
along the suggestion to her sister
"stay at homes" who have more time
than they can possibly spend.

that when n proper time came South
Dakota would be one of the leading
members of the Northwest Develop
ment league. When we organized in
Helena, South Dakota was represented
by but one man, and we knew that
was enough. The meeting of state
builders shows the interest which can
be aroused in South Dakota when a
proposition has merit. The convention
is gratifying, wonderful, in fact. 1t is
larger even than the first meeting OF
the Development league held in Hell
ena, when seven states and Alaska
were represented.
Out Of this builders convention we
believe a permanent state organiza-
ton will grow, not eliminating or re.
placing any organizations now in ex
istence, but simply bringing the other
organizations together in a South Da-
kota state development association for
the purpose of d~evoting a certain
amount Of their time and energy to
state building. These organizations
"CU4N hSiN0C sOul Sldlt dSSOClAllOl
of commercial clubs, your real estate
dealers association, the bankers as.
ISOLATION, the grange, manufacturers
and other organizations which feel
they should have a part in the devel-
opment of South Dakota and make an
effort with the other organizations
to secure state legislation which will
encourage people to live on and work
the land.
Then this organization for the de-
velopment of South Dakota will keep
up the states membership In the
Northwest Development league and
join in all it's enterprises, which would
include participation in the annual
products exposition, in the travelling
exhibits going out this year, in the
permanent exhibit to be maintained in
st. Paul and later in Chicago, in all
publications issued by the league and
in it's campaigns to secure national
legislation which will establish a def.
mite domestic immigration policy"

cost Of $4,000 and $4,000, which
cost was paid one-half by Lyman
county and the other half jointly by
Mellette county, the c., NJ. & ST. P.
railway and the Murdo Commercial
club. The White river, although not
a large stream, has always been
t~reacherous in times of high water, as
the water often rises several feet in
a few minutes, making it dangerous to
cross. This bridge will make the

Caves In Western Australia.

Wonderful caves have been discov-
cred in Western Australia by the Hon.
J. d. Connolly, the colonial secretary.
While visiting in the southwest he ex.
plored the Moondine cave, four miles
from Karridaie, and found it to be OF
surprising beauty. Il have" he says,
seen all the other caves in Western
Australia, and also the well-known
Jenolan caves of New South Wales,
but | say without hesitation that the
Moondine, which is to be known in
the future as the Coronation cave, far
excels the whole Of them. After four
hours exploration, two large beautiful
chambers, which it is proposed to- call
King George and Queen Mary, respec-
lively, were discovered. Each Of them
is far superior in beauty to any cavern
in Australia. ! am certain from the
conformation Of the country that a
cave will be found to contain still more
beautiful chambers"

For a Uniform Classification,

Sioux Falls.-F. c. Robinson, rem e.
senting the state railway commission,
is considering the matter of the griev.
anceS Of the Slack Postal Card com
pany versus the express companies.
The Slack company, during the holt
day season, shipped a large number OF
packages. with these words on the
tags: IF refused, return" The ex-
press companies refused to handle
the shipments, hence the complaint
made to the state railway commission
and the present proceedings.
In the course of an interview with
the Argus-Leader, Mr.. Robinson said
that the commission is working hard
to secure a uniform classification
throughout the country; that is, to
have the same class of goods placed
in shipping schedules on the same
basis for every state in the Union.
Goods are now classified by the rail
roads. The roads meet annually and
readjust the classification as they see
mt. These classifications are numbered
as they are adopted.
For instance, said Mr.. Robinson, the
rates have been raised by classified.
ton 81. So. the state railway commits
sion applied to the interstate com.
merce commission to have the rates
suspended till the state body could In.
quire into the propriety of the raise.
They are doing this now; and the
rates have been suspended till June

Lost Time.

The late Sylvanus Miller, civil engi.
neer, who was engaged in a railroad
enterprise in Central America, was
seeking to give the matter point. He
asked a native: How long does II
take to carry your goods to market by
m~uleback?" Three days" was the re.
ply. That's the point said Miller,
with our road in operation you could
take your goods to market and be back
home in one day." Very good, sen.
Or" answered the native. But what
would we do with the other two days.

School lands Leased
Under a New System.


Pierre.-The annual leasing Of sur
plus state school endowment agricul.
tural and grazing lands, under the new
1911 law, occurred on March 81, on the
basis Of a value appraised on each 40
acres put up for leasing. Under the
average for a county, which had to be
low, such as 10 cents per acre for a
five-year term, because otherwise the
poorer lands could not be leased. I'm.
der the new plan, with each 40 sepa.
rate!y appraised, the limits run from
10 cents to 81 per acre, for which
reason Commissioner Brinker expects
a largely increased revenue from this
source. Meadow and pasture leases
must be for three years, and agricul
tural lands for ~fve-year periods, re.
spectiyely, and longer or shorter terms
will not be approved. County audi
tors, who have this work in charge,
are instructed to offer separate sec.
tons for grazing, and a maximum of
800 acres for agricultural purposes
for the first bids, if these are not tax.
en- as a whole, then any legal subdivi-
sion thereof may be offered, the land
to go to the highest bidder; care be-
ing taken to prevent renting Of zigzag
shaped tracts, and subdivisions with
water privileges which will prevent
the leasing Of the rest. 1t is a penal
offense for one renting land for pas
ture to break it up for cultivation.

Beaver Not Extinct.

Pierre.-That beaver are not entire

the testimony of residents in the vicin

several colonies OF them showing ur

reau, south Of that place. and along
High Bank creek north, which flow:
into Grand river. An occasional otter
is also reported in that vicinity. with
raccoon seen quite often. But as that
section is now being taken by whites
it is not likely that any of these ami
mails will long be found in that vicin
fly.

load will seek the center of the road
way at once instead of the usual GUS
tom Of trying to avoid newly O
structed roads. One steam roller own
ed by each county would be sufficient
for all road work in that county.
Top-layer Of Gravel.
Another very important factor in
connection with good road construc-
ton is a layer of gravel for the sur
face. 1t does not matter whether the
road surface is constructed Of black
loan or clay, it becomes intensely
stickey in wet weather. Hence a COW
wherever possible. This need not be
more than eight feet wide and about
four inches thick in the center and
somewhat thinner at the outer edge.
Hence a load of gravel should cover
approximately twelve feet of length Of
roadway.
After this gravel is put on it should
be run over with the steam roller at
once. This will produce an ideal road
surface on most of the prairie roads.
Sand May Be Substituted.
In those places where gravel can
not be obtained except at q high price,
sand can be used with black loan and
clay. But the sand in order to pro-
duce good results must be thoroughly
mixed with the dirt. This a best
be done by first using a disk harrow
then a common harrow. Enough sand
must be USED TO produce a brittle sur
face that will not stick to wheels in
wet weather. After the sand is mixed,
then use the road roller and pack
the roadway. A thin layer of sand on
the top will then produce a good road
Maintenance.
After a dirt road is constructed,
the simplest and the best way TO main
tain it in good condition is by means
of the King road drag. The best
drag for the purpose is a substantial
adjustable steel drag. Every road
district should have some responsible
party use the drag after every rain
an all main travelled roads.
There will be a great deal Of road
construction work done in South Da-
kota during the next few years. And
the above points as briefly stated are
vital both to good construction n
maintenance. If followed out, they
will produce good results with the
minimum outlay of money.
