GOVERNMENTS ORDER
WOULD CAUSE SUFFERING

Newell. S. d., July 30.-Some time
ago. the government issued an order to
Engineer Magruder, of the Belle
Fourche reclamation project, to shut
of the water of all settlers delinquent
in their payments after July p. This
order. If enforced, would have pauper-
ICED and driven from the project one
half the settlers under the ditch. To
prevent the ruination OF these~farmers,
who are doing the best they know how
to make a success of irrigation, The
Water Users association has obtained
q temporary injunction against the
government preventing them stopping
the delivery of water until a hearing Is
held before Judge MCGEE. at Belle
Fourche. August 4.
II would not be more disastrous to
crops fer the government to sen an
invading army with instructions to
burn and ruin all growing crops found
under irrigation. commencing July %
than this order II carried out. July is
the vital month for irrigation, as crops
without irrigation always burn up dur
ing this month. After August 4, il the
Injunction is dissolved and water dis
continued. the great bulk of the crop
will be safely made. In view of this
impending doom all farmers have
been using water to the very limit In
irrigation since the 21st.

LAND COMMISSIONER
SEEKING EXTENSION
OF HIS PRIVILEGES
Wants Interest Money on State
School Money Paid Direct
to His Office.

Pierre. :. d.. July W.-An iliustra-
ton of the very peculiar views enter
tanned by many state officers. in which
they often seem impelled to promote
their departments. irrespective OF
general state welfare, comes to the
front in a ruling requested Of Attorney
General Johnson. The state and COM
missioner. Fred Hepperle. raises the
claim that the interest ON state school
money should go direct into the land
department, instead of being converted
into the general fund of the state treas
ury. as has been the custom in the
past.
The land department is n eof the
most expensive branches of the state
government. in the way of regular
legislative appropriations. and 1t is
quite certain that any attempt to ex-
empt, IN operations of the depart
ment from the supervision furnished
in the appropriation records will be
the ground plan for a controversy that
will extend to the general system OF
Withholding real state benefit from the
various fee bureaus.
1t is not known what the attorney
generals opinion will be on this point.
but a number Of the state house at
taches express the opinion that a tech
meal construction of the constitution
will permit the arrangement asked by
the land commissioner
IL IS generally conceded. as "A maItef

collected in all departments should &c

A COMMON MISTAKE.

MANY persons wifi say that q steam
W. ship Is steaming at twenty-five
knots per hour" A nautical man would
simply say twenty-five knots" Which
is correct? The latter. of course.
The landsman usually believes that
the word knot" is just q nautical term
for q sea mile. which is. roughly, $3.50
feet or about one and ne-eighth land
or statute miles. knot, Is not a
distance at all. 1t Is a speed. The
word speed" really Is intended to
combine distance and time. A train
may travel at so many miles per hour
for there is no single word In our
language to express speed units. and
we must use two words-miles and
hour.
Not SO the sailor He has language
peculiar to himself. He has invented a
single word for q unit Of speed. Thus
the speed of a ship while passing over
a nautical mile Is called one knot"
Nine out of ten persons will ask how
the term knot originated. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. In the old days
when a seaman wished to determine
the speed of his ship he did so by
means OF a log line. This consists of
a piece Of wood called the 'log Ship
to which was attached q long line
knotted at regular intervals. The
distance between the knots bore the
same proportion to the sea mile that
