and many of the other institutions
were elected by the board last Satur-
day. The presidents had been notified
to make their recommendations in
writing at that time. This was done
and the recommendations of the heads
of the institutions were approved. No
president nor any employee of any in

was nothing about the board rooms to

Buffalo, South Dakota, August 80.

The citizens of Buffalo, the county
seal of Harding County, the new
county in the Norwest corner OF the
state, are making elaborate prepare
tions for the county's first exhibit at
the State Fair at Huron. Harding
County, in common with other parts
of the state, has suffered from the hot
weather for the past, two years, but
this has been a banner year for crops
in this section, almost equal to the
phenomenal year OF 1909. Three
fourths Of the residents of this county
have settled here in the past three
years since the county was organized,
but Harding County was one OF the
largest counties OF the state, being
about SO miles square, and there Is
still open to homestead settlement
about 500, 900 acres or 300 quarter
sections of good land. 1t is expected
that the exhibit that will be shown
at the State Fair will open the eyes
of the farmers and investors ia the
Eastern part of the state and do much
to dispel the old notion that Harding
County is tit for nothing but a cattle
range. One Of the features of the ex-
hibit will be samples OF Ignite coal
of which the county has practically
the only large deposits in the state.
Most of this coal has been reserved by
the United States government and Is
free to residents OF the county.
Speciments of wood from The Forest
Reserves, which is free to settlers
will also be shown. Water Is another
thing in which Harding County Is
especially fortunate. Good wells OF
of the very best water may be obtain
ed at a depth of 20 to 100 feet.
Harding County is practically the
only county in the state that still has
a large body of homestead land open
to settlement, and 1T is expected that
this fall will witness an influx of
settlers that will take up most Of the
remaining free government home
stead.
