COLLEGE MEN
HOLD SESSION
TEMPERANCE DISCUSSED BY
SPEAKERS LAST NIGHT

One of the most interesting meet
ings of the Intercollegiate Prohibition
association convention, being held in
the city, was the meeting last night in
the city hall. Harland Allen, presid-
ent of the association, presided.
The first speaker was w. G. Calder
wood, the leader of the prohibition
party in Minnesota. He spoke on the
economic influence of the saloon on
business. He said that the saloon
offered unfair competition to the 9TH
err businesses because it took money
from the legitimate trades.
Dan G. Polling, one of the national
officers of the prohibition association
gave a very spirited and interesting
speech. Mr.. Polling attended the con
vention at Columbus and was one of
the committee of a thousand that
went to Washington to present the
matter of the national amendment.
Mr.. Polling is also the national pre-
sident Of the Shristian Endeavor So
ciety and was the guest OF honor at
a banquet held earlier in the evening
at the Presbyterian church by the
societies of the city and the local
prohibition association.

REQUISITION FOR NEW VESTI-
BULE AND WALK.

AS the result of his efforts in the
last few weeks. Postmaster T. j. Ball
has received from the department at
Washington an order for improve
ments at the Mitchell p~ostoffice which
will add greatly to the convenience OF

The most important improvement
will be the alteration of the present
turnstile door to a double door and
vestfbule at the front entrance to the
building, which will prevent any con-
gestion and be more convenient to all
patrons. A sidewalk also will be laid
on the west side of the postoffice yard
adjoining the alley.

cation to the department for an addi-
tional clerk in the offrice and a
mounted mail carrier.

COMMISSIONERS
MAKE TRANSFER
SETTLED UNIQUE PROBLEM in
ROME TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DIS
TRlCT YESTERDAY.

After the matter had been argued
extensively by residents of Rome
township, the board of county COM
missioners yesterday afternoon trans
ferred forty acres of the farm of
Chester Wittstruck to school district
No. 35, as the result of the petition
tina he had filed.
In his petition, Mr.. Wittstruck ask.
ed that his farm consisting of Lots /.
2, 3 and 4 in Section 3. of Rome
township be transferred to District
No. 35, which was nearest to his
home in Lot 4. On account of the loss
in school revenue if the whole 16C
acres was transferred, the board de.
cided to transfer only the east lot in
the tier and leave the remaining 12G
acres in the old district.
At l O'Clock this afternoon the com
missioners met with the Hanson
county board at Ethan, for the pur-
pose of considering the erection of
the three bridges which have been
proposed between Rome township, in
Dawson county, and Worthing town
ship in Hanson county.
The board spent the most of the
forenoon in considering refunds and
attachments on taxes and allowing
routine bills.

CAMEL-RAISING
FOR AMERICA
PROF. HANSEN ARGUES THE DE-
STABILITY OF ADDING THE
SIBERIAN SPECIES TO
WESTERN LIVE STOCK

Nermillion, S. D.-The camel, the
fat-rumpt sheep, and alfalfa will be
the trinity to make possible a pros
porous population of the semi-arid
portion of the United States extend
ing from the Canadian boundary to
the Mexican border, was the prophecy
of Prof. N. E. Hansen of South Da-
kota State college, noted plant expert
to the students of the University of
South Dakota today.
Prof. Hansen illustrated his talk
with many photographs of the
strange lands which he has visited
in search of plants peculiarly fitted
to the high %up-lands of the trans
Missouri country. He believes that
the Siberian camel, acclimated to a
cold dry climate, with the strength of
the mule, an ability tt live off it's
hump when no other food offers, fat
tening on fodder a horse would starve
on, and yielding from its front quar-
tiers a hair valuable for cancels hair
cloth, would be a most valuable adj
dition to western livestock. He pre-
dicted the development of a milking
strain of mares, like those employed
in Russia in the making of 'kImiss'.
The fat-rumpt sheep, the first spe-
cimens of which to- reach America, he
brought back from his recent trip to
f%ar-eastern Russia, he says, is pecul-
iarly adopted to Dakota conditions.
1t is a great mutton animal, with
hind quarters so heavy as to require
i.ttle carts to keep them off the
ground: and a are ability to flourish
on scanty food. Prof Hansen told of
his dream-day when a range alfalfa
would cover the western hills as the
buffalo grass of today, and of other
strains, which, under cultivation will
yield a bountiful return. He believes
the solution of western agriculture is
not in trying to transplant the 80
inch rainfall plant to a 10 inch rain
fall region; but in finding other
plants adaptable to these conditions.
1t would take 10000 years, he says
to make a change the other way.

SCOTTISH RITE
REUNION HELD
TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
ABERDEEN ORGANIZATION,
SUCCESSFUL MEETING Is
HELD.

Aberdeen, S. D.-The Scottish
Rite bodies of Free Masons of the
Aberdeen jurisdiction completed their
annual reunion last night with the
Maundy Thursday banquet. The oere-
monies started Monday. and the de-
grees from the fourth to the thirty
inclusive, were conferred on a
large class of candidates., the re-
union being pronounced the most sue
cessful OF any of the gatherings held
by the Aberdeen Scottish Rite bodies
since the organization of the con
sistory here twenty years ago. The
meeting this year was i'll a sense a
sort of anniversary celebration, as
it was twenty years ago that the con
cistory was organized with but a few
members. Now the Scottish Rite at
Aberdeen has one of the largest men,
berships in the northwest. OF the
members of the class taking the de-
grees twenty years ago, six were in
attendance at the reunion this week.
There are fifteen members of the Abb
erdeen lodge who have been granted
the honorary thirty-third degree, of
whom all but four were in attendance
at the consistory this week.

FEAR FOR TREE MARKING
A OF WHITE MAN

Pierre, S. DIT is reported that
the tree marking the camping place
of Joseph Johnson, when he was
killed by the Indian, Brave Bear, on
Okobojo creek near the site of the old
town of Clifton, is being undermined
by the creek, and is likely to be car
ried away unless protected. Johnson
was a soldier who received his dis
charge at Fort Suliy and who started
across country to Fort Sisseton riding
a horse and carrying a camping out
fit. His first stop was at the place
where he was killed, about twenty
five miles out from Fort Sully. Brave
Bear was found riding the horse own
ed by Johnson, and carrying his gun
and blankets, and boosted that he
had killed a white man. He was ar
rested and convicted of the murder
OF Johnson, who was evidently shot
while he slept, and suffered the
death penalty for his crime,
