Geddes.-The grain elevator belong

Of grain, was burned to the ground
here.
The fire broke out about 1890 p. m.
and an alarm was responded to by the
local fire department. The hydrants
were frozen and it was some time be-
fore water could be secured. For a
time it looked as though the whole
string of five elevators on the north

The loss on the elevator and con-
tents will be about $4,000, practically
all of which is covered by insurance.
The general opinion is that the fire
was set by an incendiary.

Many False PedIgrees.
Brookings.-Over hundred false
pedigrees have been found attached to
horses standing in the South Dakota
stud by the office of the stallion regis
tration board located at the state col
lege.
At the present time there are In
South Dakota 2,941 stations and jacks
that have passed the veterinary exam
nation and licensed to be used for
breeding purposes.
Probably no other factor has been
SO influential in improving the horse
breeding industry Of South Dakota as
the registration board established two
years ago, with Prof. ]. w. Wilson Of
the state college as secretary.
According to the present law no
horse Or jack is allowed to stand in
the state without having been exam
ined by a licensed veterinarian and
then registered by the board. II
horse has any contagious disease or
transmissible unsoundness he is re-
fused a license for public breeding
purposes. Among many horses which
have been rejected, 46 per cent had
side-bones; % per cent had some va
riety Of spavins, and II per cent had
blindness or transmissible eye disease.
About one-half the horses allowed to
stand in South Dakota are full
blooded.
It is to South Dakota's credit that
she stands among the first dozen or
SO states which have passed rigid
laws regarding the breeding of horses.
One of the greatest benefits which the
state derives from the stallion regis
tration board is the fact that this state
can no longer be used as dumping
ground for breeding stock which is in
eligible to the stud of neighboring
states. The present tendency is for
mongrels to leave the state.
Reception for Prof. Sarvis.
Brookings-Prof. Johnson Sarvis Of
the botanical department of the state
college, was rendered reception last
week by the Commercial club of

Of the fact that Mr.. Sarvis so ably
served the city and the county by his
expert decorating and arranging of
the county exhibit at the state fair
and at the Mitchell corn palace, and
his work as special demonstration on
the Governors Special, the CONNER
cial club of Brookings deemed it best
to recognize his services in public
manner. Mr.. John D. Deets, commits
sioner of immigration at Pierre, was
present at this meeting and gave a
splendid address on the booster spirit
shown by the Commercial club Of
Bookings. He complimented Mr.. Sar-
Wis work very highly. President H.
L. Slagle of the state college, A. A.
Harris, president of the Commercial
club, and others paid tribute to the ef-
f1cient service Mr.. Sarvis had rem
dered the state and the Commercial
club. In response, Mr.. Sarvis spoke
of the Importance of being represent
ed at fairs and expositions, and out
lined the trip and the work Of the
Governors Special throughout the
east.
