AN EDITOR GOES TO CHURCH

The editor went to church yester-
day. This vas unusual but not unique.

two hundred women and children pres.

master, three ushers and the writer.
There is a tradition in newspaper
offices that the editorials are written
for men. Assuming that they are read
after being written, it ought to be in.

have a brief description of a feature
of our city life Of which they prob
ably know little, furnished for theiI
attention for a few moments before
supper this evening.
The building visited yesterday was
beautifully lighted through stained
glass windows, clean, comfortably
seated and restful-a description that
could not always truthfully be given
of our theatres which attract more
people ~oftener. The music was good,
the choir bigger than any chorus that
ever appeared here in musical comedy
and the singing so much better than
ordinary show singing as to be entire
ly above that class, and yet the bald.
headed rows were practically empty.
Three of the biggest and strongest
men present gathered up the funds to
carry on the enterprise, but so many
seemed to have free passes that the
smallest child present could easily
have taken up the product of their
combined effort. 1t is a mistake in
any undertaking to issue too many
comps" and the fact that Salvation
has been SO widely hearalded as free
gives many an excuse for assuming
that coal, music and living expenses
cost nothing for the church 'profesh.'
The handicap Of precedent also makes
1t difficult for those taking up the
tickets to separate those who cannot
afford to pay full fare from the dead
heads, so as to give the latter the
direct personal treatment they de-
serve.

ENGINEERS ANNUAL REPORT

The Fourth biennial report Of the
state engineer has been submitted to
the governor, says a Pierre dispatch
This Isport comprises a synopsis OF
the work done by the engineering de.
partment of the state during 1911 and
1912. 1t also contains recommends.
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 been made in irrigation
work in the state during the last two
years, while drainage operations have
been practically at a standstill.
The statistics relating to irrigation
in the state show that there Is one
United States reclamation project at
~irrigable area of 10000 acres. The
total acreage entered Is 10000 and
area open TO entry comprises 10000
acres. This project is about "a per
cent completed and much OF the land
Is under cultivation. 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 l01, 6S5 acres. The
number OF farms irrigated will aggre-
gate 500. There have been 314 small
reservoirs reported and il is probable
that the total number will exceed 500
The number of small pumping
plants for irrigation now in operation
and for which applications have been
made is seventy-nine. There are also
six pumping plants taking water from
the Missouri river, making a total OF
eighty-fve plants in the state of which
there is record. The irrigable area
watered by these pumping plants ag,
gregates 1886 acres. 1t is probable
that this area will be largely increas
ed for applications are being received
daily at the engineers office.
With regard to public roads, there
are about $4,000 miles of section line

most well-to-do people in town, and an
annual shortage of several hundred
dollars. This illustrates the above
paragraph.
The minister had prepared a schol-
arly, clear, understandable discourse
on a question of general interest in
every civilized community in the
world. He had spent much time on it
and it showed ability, ripe experience
and loving care. 1t vas delivered
with earnestness and most convinc-
ingly and, we believe, every thinking
person present felt repaid for the
time and trouble taken in attending3
to say nothing of the fact that this is
a Christian nation and the church
services on Sunday are supposed to
strengthen our faith and give moral
support for the coming week OF life
in business, among our elo n
in the home.
A brief summing up OF the situa'
ton as it appeared to us Is that the
plant for the work is ample, the sur
rounding are attractive and comfort
able. the time taken in attendance is
not great ard the returns instructive,
pleasing Ind highly profitable. Yet IL
does O draw, particularly from the
men, the so-called wiser and stronger
half of the human race.
The church should have better sup
port. In most cases, certainly in the
one under discussion, 1t is not the
fault OF the organization that the mel,
are not present. There is every rea'
son; Of ethics, religion. the better
ment OF their community, ever mater
tally why the leading citizens and the
heads of families should do their duty
in church attendance as dn other
things.
There is a problem to be solved In
this connection, personal for most OF
US. It IL worth some thought and pos.
sibly closer attention later.-Yankton

pie who ask for information about the

laws as follows:
Under the game and fish laws OF
this state it is unlawful for anyone to
ship game birds within or without
the state, and it is also unlawful for
any common carrier or the agent Their

Also there is a federal law which is
much more sever in it's pealties for
violation, which prohibits the ship
ment of game outside the state illegal.

such packages of game must be plain

law, and it's strict enforcement will be
observed. AS a law abiding citizen

tons in favor of more explicit regu'
lations for dams and reservoirs, slight
amendments to the drainage laws and
adequate legislative provision for the
work of the engineering department
The suggestion Is made that the dutieI
of the department be defined by a
code, embodying in n act all neces-
sary requirements and limitations.
1t is strongly recommended that a
sufficient allowance be made by the
legislature for resuming photographic
survey work, which was dropped for

projects in the western part or the
state are hanging fire because of lack
of knowledge concerning photographic
conditions or streams from which II is
proposed to obtain the water supply,
A recommendation is made for co.
operation between the state and the
United States geological survey in
completing the topographic mapping
of the state. This work is done by the
federal government which defrays
half of the expense, the state paying
the other half.

Much was accomplished with the
railroads. The first matter in this
respect was the procuring OF the
Frisco division point at West Tulsa

and the club officials even had to
take up the matter of moving the
section line road, wh|h was done.
The Frisco, as fast as is possible Is
making Tulsa the terminal for all
their trains in this division. The
road has expended in this respect
about $4,000 and did not ask Tulsa
for one dollar.

be gotten out.
