A GIGANTIC SCHEME
PETITION FOR FEDERAL AID TO
ASSIST IN BUILDING sso,ooo,.
600 PIPE LINE.
HAPPENINGS OvERTHESTATE
What Is Going on Here and There
That Is OF Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da.
kota and Vicinity.

Mitchell.-An immense project to
irrigate strip of land 500 miles long
and rs miles wide in the western half
of North and South Dakota is being
promoted by the Great PLANES Irriga-
ton association, with headquarters at
Fort Pierre. The secretary of the
company, G. G. Inman, is in the city
circulating a petition among the BUSH
ness men for the raising of funds to
finance preliminary survey, which
will be sent with the petition to the
federal authorities for financial aid.
The idea is to take water from the
Yellowstone river, where it flows into
the Missouri in North Dakota, store it
in natural reservoirs there and then
carry it in an immense pipe line down
through the states of North and South
Dakota. The altitude at the mouth
of the Yellowstone is 1865 feet, and
at the White river, where the pipe
line is to empty, 1850 feet, which fall
it is estimated will furnish plenty of
pressure to syphon the water for wide
distribution. The project will bring
in 100000 acres of land and will cost
about $SO,OOO,OOO. 1t is claimed that
homes for 100000 will be furnished
by the project and that land now
worth less tLan $40 will be raised in
value to over 500. Mr.. Inman has
been very successful with his petition,
which is headed by Gov. Byrne and
nearly all of the state officers.

Seek Municipal Court.

Mitchell.-A petition has been filed
with City Auditor N. H. Jensen ask
ing a special election at which the
question of establishing municipal
court will be submitted. If the people
vote to establish the court they will
elect the judge for it at the next
spring election. The petition was pre-
sented by Attorney Roscoe Satterlee
and was signed by POP names. If the
court is established it will abolish the
office Of police justice now held by F..
c. Drake, who has one year more to
serve. The municipal court will pay,
in town of this size, $1,000 per year
and will make necessary a regularly
equipped court room in the city hall
and the employment of clerk and
bailiff, as it is court of record. 1t is
believed that the majority of the
Mitchell bar is opposed to the new
deal.

Rode Blind Baggage in Storm.

Mitchell-A happy hearted hobo,
about Is years old, arrived at the city
hall Saturday morning and asked for
shelter. He claimed to have ridden
from Elk Point to Mitchell on the blind
baggage, distance of lis miles, with
no overcoat, no covering for his hands
and only a light summer coat with
just one button on it. Conductor
Christy stated that he believed the
man told the truth about the dis.
lance, as he saw him crawl off the
blind baggage. The conductor declares
that the night was one of the bitter.
est in his experience and expressed
great wonder that any one could ride
the blind baggage and live. After be.
ing given a hot breakfast the hobo
went on his way as clipper as could
be.

PLEDGE WAR ON AIGRET1E
New York Women Also Place Ban on
Much-Prized Bird Of Para
disc Ornament.

New York-Pledges never again to
wear the much-prized plumage of
either the bird of paradise or the
aigrette are being signed by many
women prominent in society here.
Mrs. H. Fairfield Osborn, who is
the president of the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, started the
pledge-taking at club meeting, when
it was resolved that everything pos
sible should be done to protect from
extinction the two birds whose plum
age has been much sought by women
of fashion.
The women pledge-takers are mere
ly members of the women's auxiliary
of the New York Geological society.
BY formal resolution they indorsed
the principle of federal protection of
birds, embodied in the Mclean bill
now before congress.

Hotel for Working Girls.

Sioux Falls.-The Woman's Alliance
of Sioux Falls, in an effort to solve
the working girl problem, is arrang-
ing for the purchase of site preliin-
mary to erecting a hotel for girls. A
number of the wealthy residents have
become interested in the project
through the efforts of the alliance, and
will contribute literally toward the
building fund. 1t is the purpose of the
alliance to secure a site close to the
shops, stores and factories where the
girls are employed, easy of access
and where they can go for their noon
day lunch. 1t is, the intention Of the
alliance to furnish the girls with good
rooms and board at a nominal sum,
likewise lunches and meals at mid
day.

Mitchell.-An effort is being made
by the Commercial club of this city to

claimed will be almost indispensable
on the farm, as it can almost entirely

contest, similar to the one in exist

the second largest amount and 1925
for the third, the contest to be open
to any man, woman or child in the
state. The only condition attached to
the contest is that each contestant
must send a bushel of the corn raised
to be exhibited at the state fair at HUI

Automatic Feed for Irrigation System.
Custer City.-An ingenious and eff
fective method of irrigation, and one
noted for its originality, is that pur-
sued by Fred Altman, living west of
this city. Mr.. Altman has erected a
dam about 100 feet long and approx
mately 20 feet high, and this dam
usually entraps a vast amount of wa
ter. At the lower part of the dam
Mr.. Altman has placed a 3-inch pipe
extending through the dam into the
bed of the stored water. To prevent
the water from running out through
this pipe, he attaches an elbow pipe,
which extends above the top of the
water short distance. When he wish.
es water for irrigation purposes he
turns this upright pipe slightly down
ward, and the water runs out until
the surface is level with the upper end
of the pipe. BY inclining the upright
pipe still further any desired amount
will thus run out and regulate it's own
flow. Mr.. Altman irrigates 120 acres
and always has good crops. ~

CONGRESS Opens New Industry.

Rapid City-By the removal Of the
ban on shipping railroad ties out of
the Black Hills, by the last congress,
an industry is revived in the Hills
which will keep several lumber camps
and saw mills busy for several years.
The Mclaughlin Lumber company at
Nahant, has contracted with the Bur-
lington system for 100000 ties, and
the Northwestern has placed orders
for 100000 with the Hill City Lum-
Der company. The Milwaukee is also
buying ties in the Hills and this,
coupled with the fact that the Milwau.
kee is reinforcing it's tracks west OF

rails, leads to the conclusion that
the connection to the northwest Will
be made within a reasonable time.

chal Mel roses and deep purple bou-

For complete rest and refreshment

I should not recommend much time

CITY though it is in the older and ma
tive parts, it is not Enthusiastically
Egyptian, and does not, unless, per-
chance for the. incorrigible town lover,
possess anything approaching to the
nameless charm of the Nile and up
per Egypt.
Throughout the entire journey, last
ing about fortnight, from Cairo to
Assuan, this abundant life of the Nile
is ceaselessly in evidence. In sum-
mer, the dead season, it might be less
apparent, but in winter or spring the
signs of people, habitations, domestic
animals, cultivation, wherever the eye
rests, are striking beyond all else in
the Egyptian landscape. In the win
ter there are crops to be sown, water
ed, and tended, and by early spring
the first of these crops are ready for
harvest.
do not think I speak for myself
alone when I say that I have spent
day after day in the bows of Nile
steamer doing nothing whatever but
watching the scenes passed through,
without for moment finding the days
too long.
Apart from the lif. actually on the
river. with the passage of boats, bear
ing the peculiar long Nile sails, man
ned by bawling Arabs and laden with
strange cargoes of water jugs, sugar
cane, and maize, there is the life on
the shore itself-the life of a people
unfamiliar and yet familiar because
they seem to have come out of the
pages of the family Bibles at whose il
Illustrations we used to look in our
childhood. a people doing things as
they did them thousands of years ago,
living a life which we see TO be real
because it goes on before our eyek,>
and which yet seems a life of long
ago.
