The steamboats which wintered down the river seem to have had strenuous time of it during the recent break-up. The high water caught some of them quite unpre pared, and some thrilling tales of miracu- Ious escapes and wonderful seamanship are due to be recounted within the next few days Ray Hendersons experience with the Pup was notable. When the breakup occurred his vessel was lifted bodily over 9 high cut bank and deposited on the tundra several hundred fee, from the channel of the river, where the rcceding waters left him high and dry. By great good luck the water again rose and he was enabled to steam out to safe position in the river and escaped unscathed.

PHEASANTS
State Game Warden Says Propagation
Is Rapid Over South Dakota.

Mitchell, Sept. 12.-Chinese pleas
ants are rapidly being spread over
the state of South Dakota and will
soon be available for game, according
to State Game Warden III. S. He'd
rick of Chamberlain, who was in
Mitchell yesterday to his way to the
state fair at Huron. Before long, the
~pheasants, which are similar to those
in England, will supplant the prairie
chicken as a game fowl.
Last fall said Mr.. Hedrick,
a. 500 Chinese %pheasants were plant
ed in many places owe the state. Ac-
cording to reports / have received,
the birds have thrived and raised
large covies averaging fifteen young
p~heasants. This fall / am going to
put out about 1,400 more birds,
which will be enough to cover the
state in a few years.
1.-The advantage of the pheasant
over the prairie chicken is that 1T
does not require wild country, but
|thrives in thickly settled communi-
ties, living in the brush and groves.
1t never becomes domesticated and
is always wild enough for sport hunt

In Oregon, the state is alive with

case here"
Mr.. Hedrick will exhibit the pleas
ants to be planted this fall at the
state fair at Huron, in addition to a
number of other game fowl which he
secured from a friend in Chicago.
The exhibit will be one of the most
Interesting of its kind ever displayed
in the state.

FINISHING TOUCHES
THIRTIETH ANNUAL SOUTH DA-
KOTA STATE FAIR WILL OPEN
MONDAY MORNING.

Huron, Sept. 12.-More than 100
workers are laboring at top speed
putting the finishing touches upon
the buildings, grounds and exhibits
of the thirtieth South Dakota state
fair, which will be opened to visitors
at 8 o'clock, Monday morning, Sept.
IA. The work is better in hand than
ever before, and from the standpoint
of exhibits and entertainment the
1914 exposition will far surpass that
of any former year.
The competitive displays of live
stock, agriculture, county exhibits
and educational work will tax the ca
pacity of the departments concerned.
The gay midway is a riot of color;
the buildings are in gala attire of
fresh paint, flags and bunting. Hun
dreds of concessions, including the
World at Home" are rapidly being
erected. On Sunday, the influx of
horsemen, automobile speed kings,
fireworks artists and concessioners
will flock on every train into Huron.
Huron is exerting every effort to take
care of the congestion during fair
week. The commercial club has now
enough listed rooms, which together
/ with its tented White City" are
guaranteed to lodge comfortably a
crowd of $50, 600 people. The streets
| are being oiled to prevent dust, rest
rooms, seats, drinking fountains and
other comforts are provided in album
dance.
1t is estimated that $4,000 people
will auto the state fair from all parts
of the state. Ample garage and
storage room is provided to care for
all machines with ample military pro-
lection. All roads leading to Huron
are in first class condition for motor
ing.
Secretary McIlvaine states that
Monday will be, by all odds, the big
day of the fair, especially for auto
mobile race fans, because of the
strong speed program on that day.
With Disbrow and half a dozen other
of Americas leading gasoline kings
| entered the auto race meet on the
opening day is bound to attract hun
dreds of visitors who otherwise would
wait until a later day for attending
the fair. On this day all children
under Is years of age will be admit
ted free of charge.

THE EUROPEAN war
L SUMMARIZED REPORT PRE-.
PARED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Sept. 12.-Special:
While the latest official statements
give few details of the great battle
which is being waged in France, and
as 100000 men are engaged, it
seems apparent that the German
forces are still falling back. from the
announcement that the allies have
gained about thirty-seven miles of
territory in their advance, an Increase
of twelve in the operations during the
past twenty-four hours.
Both British and French troops
have crossed the River Marine, the
British capturing men and guns. The
action of greatest severity is being
fought between Mailly and Vitry lie
Francois.
In the engagement between Brit
ish and Germans in Nyassaland,
British Central Africa, the Germans,
according to the British official press
bureau, were driven back to the river
Songwe, which is part OF the frontier
between the British and German pro-
t~ectorates.
Prince Joachim Albrecht of Prus-
STA, son of the late Prince Frederick
Albert, regent of Brunswick, and a
second cousin of the German emperor
has been wounded in battle.
Both the German and allied armies
in France are receiving reinforce
ments and the battle in France is
likely to last some days yet.
The reports regarding the progress
of the Russian and Austrian armies
are meager. but a Petrograd dis
patch says 1T Is believed that the Ger
man crown prince has been appointed
chief commander of the forces which
are to oppose the Russian advance.
The British prime minister has
called for more. men to serve the
country and when the governments
plans are completed the British army
will number $4,000 men. Addi-
tional British casualties have been
made public. covering the period up
to September Z and bringing the total
for the campaign close to $4,000

Because of this demand I appointed
a commission to consider the advisa-
bility of providing for such represent
alton by erecting a building and con-
Quoting an exhibit of the states re-
sources.
After holding several meetings and
.canvassing the situation thoroughly,
the commission has reached the con
clusion that such representation is de-
sirable and feasible, and that with
the cooperation of our citizens APP
proximately $50 1000 can be raised to
finance such representation.
AS a IA of providing part of
this fund the commission has provid-
ed certain beautiful and attractive
souvenirs, to be placed on sale at the
different banks and other places
throughout the state, and sold at 81
each, this giving every citizen an OPP
portunity to cooperate, by a small
contribution, at least, in placing on
the exposition ground a building and
exhibit which will attract the same
favorable attention that the other
states of the union are to receive and
bring pride and qualification to our
people.
To further the sale of these SOU
venirs and thus aid the general plan,
the commission requests me TO desig-
nate a souvenir day.
Accordingly, to promote the pur-
pose herein indicated, | hereby desig-
nate Saturday, September 10, as sou
venir day throughout the state of
South Dakota, and ask the good peo-
pie of the state on that day to buy
and wear at least one such souvenir
and contribute by so much to the final
success of the enterprise.
