STOCKMEN f A LOSSES
Shortage of Feed on the Ranges
West of the Missouri.

Pierre, April 5.-Ice every night in
March was the record here. The
prairies are covered with a hard COW
ering of snow too deep for stock to
break through, causing a shortage OF
feed and making the situation in the
Missouri valley and the western part
of the state a serious n for stock
raisers. who are hoping for a general
thaw to give them relief. The hay
stacks are generally put up to carry
TO the middle of March, with a prac-
teal certainty that the prairies will
be clear Of snow early in the month,
but this year the hay piles have been
cleaned out. and cattle in many herds
are beginning to go short on fodder.
One of the heaviest cattle handlers in
this part of the state says that the
thaw must come within a week to
save losses in many herds.

STERLING
Charges Nermillion Site Controversy
Springs from Political Promises.

Washington, April . Senator
Sterling called on the treasury de-
partment today and spoke his mind
plainly on the Vermillion public
building site, which has become an
acute controversy. The contention is
whether the site on Main street,
known as the Fullerton site, and
which was endorsed at an election,
or the old courthouse site shall be
picked. Senator Ed Johnson and
some of his friends are working for
the old courthouse site.
Senator Sterling is insisting the
sentiment of the voters, as expressed
at the election. shall be followed.
Senator Sterling had a talk with
Assistant Secretary Newton and told
him the real opposition to the Fuller
ton site was based on a political deal.
You can't afford to ignore the
public will in this matter as express
ed at the election" Senator Sterling
told Assistant Secretary Newton.
You can't afford to do 1t and neither
can my colleagues"
Senator Sterling told Mr.. Newton
that it was idle to send another in
spector to Vermillion, in view of the
fact that the people had expressed
themselves and the department knew
all the facts as to the relative merits
of the two sites.
Senator Sterling charged that ii is
a case of Senator Sterling giving his
support to the old courthouse site in
return for votes.

ton OF the state are not going to de-
pend on grain crops entirely in the
future, despite the fact that this sec
ton has been unusually fortunate the
last few years. During the last fort
night between thirty and forty ear
loads of cattle have been shipped in
TO this locality and placed or farms.
Conditions in this locality are ideal
for the raising of cattle and hogs,
corn and alfalfa, and the farmers are
gradually discovering that more
money may be made from them than
by raising small grains.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, April Special: Po-
land has almost dropped from sight
while Russians and Germans and
Austrians are sending up their forces
for the battle in the Carpathians,
which, although it has been going
on for weeks, shows no signs as yet
of definite conclusion.
Here the difficulties to be sur
mounted by the invading Muscovites
seem almost beyond human endur-
ance, but the Russians, faced by the
necessity of driving their way
through the passes If they are to
reach the Hungarian plains, are fight
ing with desperation. those in the
front ranks knowing that heavy re-
Inducements are behind them and
coming up with all speed.
A correspondent of a Vienna paper
describes the efforts of the constant
ly increasing Russian forces as al
most superhuman. and says they are
directing their operations against the
center of the Austrians' line along a
front of about forty miles.
The Austrian war office says it has
been ascertained that all the Russian
divisions which were before Przemysl
are now on the Carpathian front.
These Russian reinforcements. Wen

Austrian troops fighting on both
sides of the Cisna and Bereckny
Corn to retreat somewhat" but
claims to have defeated the Russians
who attacked positions north Of Uz-
sok pass in a sa%nguinary engage
ment.
Meanwhile. Germany is sending
troops into Hungary, and strong sup
port of this kind is likely to have an
encouraging effect on the A%ustrians,
whose resistance has been described
as most determined.
In the western war zone the opera
tions are almost at a standstill so
far as any concerted attack is con-
cerned. There have been the usual
number of minor actions along the
front.
Bulgarian irregulars, who. how
ever. are reported to have been wear

Conditions Very Favorable for South
Dakota Farmers.

Huron, April 5.-According to
Supt. II. +. Dickinson of the Dakota
division of the Chicago and North
western, South Dakota this spring
has the finest crop prospects in years,
The soil is in first class shape,
there being plenty of moisture in il
from the slow melting of the heavy
SHOWS of the latter part of the winter,
While the spring will be a late one,
this may work a benefit in that il
may force the planting of the later
crop, corn. rather than the small
grains. which are put in earlier. The
conditions this spring form another
argument, and present it in a force
full manner, in favor of fall blowing
AS a general thing the farmers
have the seed they need and every
thing indicates an intention greatly
to increase the corr acreage. Mr..
Dickinson says that along the line
from Huron to Blunt and from Red
field to Gettysburg probably ten
times more corn will be planted this
year than ever before.
The snow is still heavy in parts OF
the state, in the western part being
SO heavy as to interfere seriously
with grazing. There is snow still in
the central part of the state and
north and south of here more than
here. The eastern portion only is
practically free from it.

PHOENIX, ARIZ.
As Gratifying as Unexpected.

From The Arizona Republican.
 The so-called German acceptance of the American interpretation of inter national law as applied to submarine warfare is only slightly more definite than Germany's second note on the Lusitania affair that led President Wilson to believe there would be no repetition of that incident. Washing ton was, therefore. shocked when it heard of the sinking of the Arabic. While Germany does not expressly disavow the act of the commander of the submarine that sank the Arabic we have the statement that orders previous to that incident had been given against the sinking of passenger vessels without warning. So much ac- quiescence on the part of Germany is now as gratifying as it was generally Ilnexpected.

 CELEBRATION HERE

Garfield act ed as guardian and took about 40 members of the club for a long tramp which resulted in enlarged ideas of country life and surroundings. The girls were carried to and from the grove in six jitneys. and the ride was fully enjoyed. Ice cream was served.
 ed by the superintendent for the Girls club, and many pleasures and ad- vantages are thus enjoyed by its mem bers through the kindness and consideration of our interested citi zens. During the summer school va cation period, the club rooms have been open from 1 o'clock in the af- ternoon-unti1 g at night, to give the girls extra, hours to enjoy their new playgrounds. It is at the Hall Home. 715 Main street, and is fully equipped with swings, basketball and croquet. That 1t has been more attractive than the streets is proved by a registered attendance of over 500 during the month of August which was first stormy and then hot.
 Miss Tones has many helpful and interesting plans for the fall and win ter months which will insure crowded rooms both afternoon and evening.

Danger. of a Rupture over.
From The Detroit Free Press.

z From The Detroit Free Press.
 It would be a master stroke of di- -p1omacy if,s in return for abandon ment of a comparatively ineffective means of reprisa1, Germany could sue ceed in having her import trade re- stored through the aid of the United States. Taking the won Bernstorf letter at its face value, however, it indicates that the crisis in our re- lations with Germany has passed and that no further alarm need be felt over the situation. Whether the note is a, complete disclosure of all the circumstances, or whether it covers unrevealed negotiations for aid to the Kaiser's government by bringing American pressure to bear on Great Britain in behalf of Germany's ends, it could not have been written or ac- cepted after all that has gone before it except with at least the tacft un- derstanding that the two powers are no longer at odds over the Lasitania and Arabic incidents The danger. of a rupture with Germany must be over.

Great Victory for Wilson

(From The St. Louis G1obe-Democrat)
 That this is a victory, a great vic- tory, for the United States, for the American people and for President Wilson cannot be disputed. We could very easily have been drawn into a war over this matter. All the elements of a conflagration were present, and 1t but needed the touching of match to see the country aflame-z That the match was not struck was largely due to the calm deliberate course of the President.
