so. OAK. FAIR WILL BE GREAT

Huron Special The State Fair
Board is exerting itself to the utmost
to make the Fair of 1912 the greatest
in the west, and Judging from the
manner in which the work is shaping
up, these expectations will be more
than realized. With the attractions
already secured and exhibition space
already demanded, the Board can
now guarantee that the coming South
Dakota Fair will be the star attrac-
tion of the West.
The aviation meet will far surpass
that of last year. Three different
types of aeroplanes biplanes,
Curtiss and Wright, and a French
Newport monoplane. will be in the
air simultaneously twice daily. This
will mean six Nights each day under
an iron-clad contract. The daring
work last year by the unfortunate
Cromwell Dixon called forth unanim-
Gus praise, but the flights of this year
will be still greater and still more
amazing.
Entries for agricultural exhibits
are coming to the Secretary's Office
daily and everything points to an ex-
citing contest for high honors among
exhibiting ecu, ties About twenty
counties have already applied for sx-
hibition space. Entries for live stock,
machinery, and all other departments
outnumber those of any year at this
date. With the great tractor and
plowing contests, the Four Thousand
Dollar Alfalfa exhibit of the North
western Railway Company, music by
special bands, automobile exposition,
speed program, aviation meet, and
scores of other features too numer-
Gus to mention, the 1912 State Fair
will be a record breaker in every re-
spect. From the standpoint of edu-
cation as we'll as entertainment, no
South Dakotan can afford to miss
this, the greatest of the western ex-
positions. at Huron, Sept. 8, 10, IL,

RAILWAY ASSESSMENT

The state assessment board has com
pleted the assessment of railroads and
the changes are very slight from the
valuations of last year, merely read
justments where towns have been in
corporated since the date of the last as
sessment, and slight reductions in small
lines in the Black Hills, with raise of
$50 mile on the Northwestern line
from Brookings to Watertown to cover
property not heretofore assessed. This
property is a tract of eight acres in
Brookings county and has been owned
by the company as a gravel pit since
1904, butnever returned'.for assessment.
The board has instructed the county
auditor of Brookings county to spread
on his records valuation of $74S
against the company for each of the
years from 1904 to 1911 inclusive, and
made the increase on that branch to
cover that valuation for this year.
They also instructed the auditor of
Pennington county to spread valua-
tion of ST. 900 mile on the line of the
Northwestern road from Rapid City to
Wasta for the year 1907. it appearing
that SO much of the line of that road
across the state was in operation for
that year, just as was the line from
this city to Midland. The line to Mid
land was assessed for that year, but the
line to Wasta was not included

CROP EXPERTS PREDICT
RECORD BREAKING YIELD

Minneapolis Tribune: Crop records
are likely to be broken in the North
west this season if present prospects
are maintained. The experts who
have been looking over the grain
fields say this section OF the country
never had such big promise.
b. w. Snow, the Orange JUL Farm
er, says:
Minnesota and the two Dakotas
can easily exceed 60,OOO,O 900 bushels
OF spring wheat. Aside from small
district in western South Dakota and
a still more limited area in west CEN
trail North Dakota the three states
have perfect prospect.
"The soil has all the moisture need
cd to mature the crop and the cool
weather is good Just for heavy filling.
1t is fully up to normal except in the
extreme north, where it is now head
ing and is only a few days late.
Oats and barley are equally good.
1t looks like the greatest crop year in
the history Of the Northwest.
Oscur Lyle another crop expert.
was on change today, just back from
trip over the northwest. He said
that the thee states would have 200, )
ooo,0oO bushels of wheat sure, and at
the present time the crop would
measure up to 240, 100000 bushels
easily.

SOUTH DAKOTA's RANK

South Dakota ranks well toward
the top in point of school attendance
among the states of the nation. ac-
cording to census report just now.
In this state are 183 ,979 persons be-
tween and 20 years of age and 1922
$40 of them are in school, or 66.7 per
cent. AS 10 per cent is the highest
and as North Dakota musters GA per
cent it is seen that the states educa-
tional condition is in good shape.
1t shows even better for the age 6
to H. In this classification are 12,-
910 persons and SO 2 per cent of them
are attending some school. North
Dakota shows so per cent enrolment.
In the first division the state is better
than the average for the percentage is
but 62.3 taking the country over. In
the second division the same good
record prevails for the national per
cent of children from 6 to IA years in
school is 81 A per cent while in South
Dakota it is 1872 per cent.
In the northern ard western divisions
over nine tenths of the children in these
ages are enrolled in schools, in the
three southern divisions, the proper
tion approximates eight tenths. A
comparison of the two years shows an
advance in all sections, but it is most
marked in the southern states, reflect
ing the great progress of popular edu-
cation in those states in recent years.

SPEAKS WELL OF so. OAK.

The following item from The Mil
ford (Ill.) Herald, was written by
Eugene L'Hote, one of the editors
who visited this state with the Ma
tional Press association. It will be
of interest to all our South Dakota
readers and we anticipate, to our
readers in other states as we'll in that
it shows how other people see US.
Hence we are pleased to publish the
same herewith
The editor returned from his South
Dakota trip Thursday evening some
what fatigued over SO strenuous q
trip, but very much taken up with
the country. South Dakota is surely
and truly wonderful state and those
who imagine it a barron waste Of
land have several guesses still
coming. 1t is wonderful for its graz
ing land, its fertile fields of grain,
its bounteous fruit crops, it's mining
interests, its beautiful cities and its
we'll kept homes, but better than all
this, the people behind it all. They
are embued with that spirit of pro-
gressiveness that is bound to bring
their state to the front rank of states
within the next five years. When we
went to Dakota we had printed q
little card with our map of Illinois
on the back thereof, showing Milford
to be the only place on the map, but
before we had been in the state twen-
ty four hours those South Dakotans
had us back in corner and in doubt.
Every night before we retired we
quietly stole to the smoking compart-
ment of our car and tried all the tests
known to the medical fraternity as to
our sanity. We were fearful that we
might be losing our mind. They fill
ed us up SO much with the wonders
of the country, and had the goods to
back it up, that it will be many years
before we get it entirely out of our
system. In fact we are almost home
sick to 60 back there right now.
There is plenty of room up there!
for many thousands Of people aat.
the next FIVE years will show wonder
full development. Nothing can keep
it down.
From the time we struck Sioux
Falls until we said goodbye at Yank-
ton we were favorably impressed
with all we saw and much we heard,
and while we will have more to say,
of the trip within the next few weeks,
we are fearful that the great trouble
will be in making our readers believe
it all. But this much We can say. to
the man who wants to get . home, to-
the man who is seeking Investment,
to the young man who says there ID;
