Rumor is afioat that Albany will
attempt to break into the Empire cir
cult next year. Whether this is true
or not is hard to tell. If Albany should
come into the league it would necessi-
tate the dropping of one of the present
six teams or the addition of another
city so that the league would hava
eight teams in it. There is no likeli-
hood of any city dropping out of the
circuit. In case Albany should give
up her franchise in the Sally and join
the Empire it is more than likely that
Dothan, Alabama, or possibly Augusta
would be the eight team in the race.

MONEY OF RICH COUNTY
DOESN'T ATTRACT BANKS

Trip, S. D., Jan. 11.-While 1t is
known that the people of southeastern
South Dakota are prosperous and not
heavy borrowers, it is not often that
$4,000 goes begging for want Of ap-
plication for its use, as is the case of
the funds Of Hutchinson county. In
this county notice was given by the
county auditor that applications to act
as repositories of county FUNDS would
be received up to a certain date Of the
January meeting Of the board of coun-
ty commissioners. At the specified
time there were but two or three bids
amounting to $4,000, and at times run
ming to over 500, 900. Thercommission-
ers %thereupon adjourned for dinner
without having opened the bids, believ-
ing that other bankers of the county
who were present would take advant-
age of the interval and ask to be desig-
rated as repositories of the balance of
the funds, but when they met again to
open the bids, they found to their
amazement that the banks bidding had
withdrawn their applications. The
commissioners Immediately ordered the
auditor to r~eadve-tise, believing that
there were banks in the state tina could
use and would be glad to make appli-
cation for the funds.
Hutchinson county Is settled largely
by prosperous German and German
Russian farmers. while along the James
river are some half dozen Mennonite
colonies, rich and prosperous and liv-.
taxes frequently mount to from $500
to $1,000 a colony. Individual taxpayers
who pay from $3.50 to $500 are not UNI

COMMISSION TO HOLD
HEARING AT RAPID CITY

Rapid City, S. D., Jan. 14.-F. c.
Robinson. of Groton, a member of the
board of railroad commissioners, at a
meeting of business men here, dis
cussed freight rates west of the Mis-
sour river. He says that members
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion are contemplating a trip to South
Dakota n will nave a meeting here
at which rates on the Pierre division
of the Northwestern will be investi-
gated. AS a member of the board of
commissioners he has learned that it
costs as much to ship fruit from
Spearfish to Pierre as it does to ship
1t from Washington or Maine.
By way of explanation. the commits
sioner states that since 1907 the terri
tory west of the river has had no re-
duction in freight rates and that re-
auctions of from 20 to 40 per cent
already made by the commission are
pending decisions on injunctions
brought by the railroads.
At the hearing by the Interstate
Commerce commission the rates on
lumber. plaster and cement will be
thoroughly Investigated. At present
the production of these commodities
is handicapped by freight rates which
are prohibitive.

BISHOP ANNOUNCES
PLAN TO COLONIzE
IRRlGABLE SECTION
Would People With Germans
From Europe and Middle West
Land In Hills.

Rapid City, S. D., Jan. 13.-The Ri
Rev. Joseph L. Busch, bishop OF Lead,
spent a recent evening in the city IN
conference with business men, to whom
he unfolded a plan to COLOMBO a large
tract of land near Rapid City with
German farmers. brought to the hills
country from the central west n Eu-
| rope. Bishop Busch's scheme follows
lines of work in successful operation
in man of the southern states, partic-
ularly Alabama, in the interest of
which the assistance of the bishop has
been solicited. He, however, with an
| eye single to promoting the interests of
his own diocese, prefers to bring a
colony here and thus build up the
Black Hills community and strengthen
his own denomination.
While in the city, Bishop Busch had
a long interview with President Put
nam, of the Business Mems club, who
was able, having just returned from a
weeks trip in the Cheyenne, Missouri
and White River counties, to give him
valuable data about feasible irrigation
projects for land under a ditch or by
artesian well methods. He also con-
ferred with President James Haley, of
the First National bank; President
Randall, of the Merchants Loan and
Trust company; George F. Schneider,
cashier Of the Pennington County bank,
and Harry Wentzy, president of the
StSulily odNlliSo Ddilh, lOSSliSi Will
John C. Harris, Isaac w. Chase and
Tom Sweeney. While plans for the
colonization scheme are still in en-
bryo, it is desired that the banks and
business men of the city purchase a
part of the land, in area from 1000
to 5000, in accordance with either an
irrigation proposition or dry farming
methods.
All who discussed the plan as sug-
gested by the bishop were pleased with
its practicability and appear willing to
provide the initial amount of land and
take payment for it on easy terms ex-
tending over a period of years.
1t is learned that in and around Du-
buque, Ia, there are a great many
thrifty German farmers, who are seek
Ing a location further west where land
is cheap. Bishop Busch contemplates
a trip to Europe during the coming
summer, when he will study conditions
with a view to an enlargement of the
colony. The bishops visit and his in

would be of immense advantage to
