IRRIGATION PLANS,
Engineer Oorr Returns from First
Trip of INSPECTION,

sI'P W tuoPCClIOV.
Pierre.-State Engineer Dorr has re.
turned from his first trip over the
line of the proposed irrigation plan t
take water from the headwaters OF the
South Fork of Cheyenne river and
carry it out into Stanley and Pen
nlngtOn counties. After a week spent
IN the field on merely preliminary
work, he has found that there will be
a number of important engineering
problems in the work to carry the
main ditch through the extremely
rough portions of the Bad Lands.
which it must traverse to get the wa
ter out onto the prairie. 1t will be
hard to avoid a lot of tunneling. which
will make the project an expensive
one. The rough estimate on the pro
ject is between IS, 900, 900 and Sc. 1000.
600 to get the water to approximately
100000 acres of land, or something
near $50 an acre. with close survey
standing to change these figures ma
~terially on final showing. The field
force of the department will put in a
good part Of the summer on surveys
of this plan, and settle very near just
what the real eos will be before they
quit this fall.

School Funds to Be Distributed.

overwhelmingly $1,000, 900
will be distributed to the schools of
this state for the present calendar
year, as the returns from leases Of the
common school lands held by the
state, and the interest income froEa
funds invested. This amount will be
divided into W apportionments, one
to be made on the 18th of June, the
other on the 18th of December. The
June apportionment will be near
100000. the fund at this time being
$685., 600. with additions to be made
within the next three weeks increas-
ing that figure. The balance of the
81. 900, 900 will be secured through re-
ceipts for the last half of the year
and will go into the December appor-
tionment, which is always lighter than
that in June, as the earlier apportion-
ment includes the receipts from the
spring leases of lands. This fund m
a with each passing year, the
June apportionment for this year be-
ing about see, 600 greater than tha.
for last year.
