DRAKE WILL TAKE
RECORDS TO LONDON
Member Of Scott Party to Hasten
to England.

London, Feb. 1S.-Public interest in
the Scott expedition was heightened
by the announcement that Secretary
Drake, In charge of all official records
of the Antarctic party, would leave
the other survivors and hurry to Eng
land by the fastest boats.
Information from Christ Church was
that Drake would sail Thursday via
the SueZ canal. The information In
brakes possession will be placed in
the hands of the Royal Geographical
society and then perhaps more will
be known about the expedition. 1t is
believed that Drake will bring with
him the diaries of Scott and the other
dead men and turn them over to their
families.
The latest installment of Commander
Evans story was given over mainly
to reiterated denials of the reports
that there were isternal dissensions
in the Scott party, or that there was
anything unexplained in the disap
pearance of SCOTS fuel oil.

The find conforms to a story in South

plate being DEPOSITED at some point
along the Missouri river and which
gives the opinion that the point was
within 90 miles of the city of Pierre.
The Reilly hoy. who is a son of a

had no idea what the trophy was until
be came in contact with Representative
White, who has q little knowledge of
Freneb. and quickly connected the
plate up with the story told in South

Doane Robinson, state historian,
went to Fort Pierre yesterday and

marked with some sort of II monument,

THE LEGISLATURE
Fighting the Railway Bills-The
New Agricultural Bill
Develops a Contest

Pierre. Feb. 49, Representatives OF
the different railways in the state are
arriving in this city every day to sp.
pear In opposition to the many bills
attempting to regulate railways in
every possible manner, some of them
being the most radical possible railw
regulation which the roads are fighting
AS positively vicious.
The representatives from the western
half of the state are pleased over the
house appropriations committee bill to-
day for an appropriation of S15, 900 for
the propagation snd extension of hardy
alfalfa in the state, the work to be
under the general supervision of Prof
N. Z. Hansen of the state agricultural
college.
The new agricultural bill has start-
ed something in the state fair and i'm
migration departments. The attempt
to consolidate these two departments
sre not satisfactory to either the state
fair people or tc those who want a
straight out immigration department.
Each feels that it is in a position
where the time and attention of a
department is required to keep and
build larger the scope of either depart
ment, and the fight on that issue will
either mean a cutting out of a portion
OF the bill as originally drawn, mean.
