field, has just been elected to mem ber-
ship in the American Society OF Civil
Engineers. This is one Of the greatest
honors that can be received by q civil

suoh members In Southwest Oregon.
They are r. II. Corey. general manag-
er of the Coos Bay Water Company
and Mr.. Leefe, an engineer employed
on the sinslay jstty and who formerly
WAS interested in government work on
Coos Bay
1t is about six years since Mr.. Gidley
came to Coos Bay from Lead, South
Dakota, where he had been city enRin.
eer for some time aud, also had been
connected with the Homestske Mining
Company Of that place.
Previous to this time Mr. Gidley had
practically worked his way through
college, working with government sur
veying parties through the summers
In South Dakota. He was United
States Deputy Mining Surveyor for
the two states for time, having been
appointed in 1893.
Since coming t. Coos Bay Mr.. Gid
ley has become known as one of the
most accurate civil engineers in this
section. Under previous administra-

came associated with 4. G. Perham in
the Psrham & Gidley Engineering
Company. For the past year Mr.. Gid.
ley has again been city engineer Of

daoy for the office of railroad commis-
sioner. Regarding his qualifications
ana fitness for the office the Rapid
City Daily Journal Of recent date has
the following:
Fred H. Rugg, former mayor of
Rapid City and one of the best known
men in the Hills district, yesterday
formerally announced his candidacy
for the nomination Of railroad commits
sioner from the third district on the
republican ticket at the coming pri-
maries. This action on the part of Mr.
Rugg comes, not as any especial solici-
tation from his friends, although many
Of them have urged this action upon
him, but because Mr. RugR himself
feels that he is able to give the people
of South Dakota the kind Of service
they wish the railroad commissioner to
give. Before entering into the race
Mr.. Rugg sent out over 200 letters to
representative men throughout the
state picking men In ninety. five diff.
ferent cities and towns, and the ma.
jority Of these have all answered him,
telling him that in the event that he
become candidate for the nomination
he would receive their good words and
support in their districts. 1t was prin-
cipally through the attitude Of these
letters that Mr.. Rugg definitely made
up his mind to place himself in the
hands Of the people as a candidate. As
to his qualifications for the position,
there can be little doubt but that he is
ihe logical man In this district. His
first seven years In the west were spent
on several of the larger railroads in the
capacity Of construction engineer.
Later his work consisted of accounting
in it's various branches, such az retail
aud wholesale merchandising and
banking, together with considerable
work in expert auditing. Such train
ing would prove most beneficial to q
man on the commission. DR.. Smith, of
Sturgis, the present commissioner from
the Black Hills district, will not be q
candidate for reelection. According
to law his successor must come from
the third district. Mr.. Rugg has lived
tn Rapid City for the past twenty
years. During that time he has been
mayor and president of the school
board as we'll as serving the city in
other capacities. He has always been
loyal booster Of the Black Hills dis
trict As to politics he has always
been In the republican party and there
is no doubt but that he can staDd on
his merits as q candidate and when
weighed In the balance will by no
means be found wanting. Mr.. Rugg
has disposed Of his business interests
and is prepared to give all Of his time
to the Office should he be elected.

MEETING OF ANGOSTURA ASSO.
CITATION SATURDAY
PUSH PUBLICITY WORK
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO RAISE
MONEY FOR FURTHERlNC IRRl-
CATION INTERESTS

By Chas. A. Nystrom, RAPID City, Secretary
The regular meeting of the Angos.
turs Association was held in Hot
Springs last Saturday. After discuss
ing the plans outlined at the state ir-
rigation meeting held in Pierre some
weeks ago. ways and means for anano-
ing the Angosturs campaign, aud for
cooperating with the state organiz-
alton In pushing the publicity cam
psign for carrying the irrigation
amendment, were discussed. A COM
mittee of four appointed to handle the
difficult question of raising money,
made report, which was adopted
This report recommends the raising
Of 81 900 or more to be used in further
ing our irrigation interests this year.
This sum is to be raised through con-
tributions on the basis Of $5 per quar-
ter on all the irrigable land within the
project. Since there is SO much at
stake, every man should be willing to
contribute this much per quarter,
which, 1T is believed, will not prove a
burden to anybody. 1t takes money,
and lots of work to carry proposition
of such magnitude, and every man
should lend helping hand. Since the
contamination of our day dreams
would multiply the value of every acre
under the ditch, and bene6cially affect
every town and hamlet adjacent to this
big project. it is hoped that self-inter.
est and desire to assist in q worthy
cause, will bring about hearty re-
sponse. No sooner had this plan been
decided upon than Ed Bochert, of Oral
handed in his check for the first five
dollars. and c. A. Nystrom turned in
the second dver.
1t was also decided to ask the diff
ferent towns In Custer and Fall River
counties to contribute small amounts
in lieu Of the assessments heretofore
made. In this way erybody will be
assisting in the boosting campaign.
Those familiar with the Sootts Bluff
irrigation project say that our soil in
the Angostura is fully as good, o,
better. the lay of the land is better
and climatic conditions superior. Still
they marketed q sugar beet crop the
past season for which the farmers re-
cetved e2,l63OOO In hard cash. The
average income from beets alone pc,
acre was $40 AZ. While some of the
ground produced as high as 1925 ar
acre income, and some as low as $25

SURVEY Of ROAD MATERIALS

State University Engineer Says This Should
Be the First Step
Vermillion, g. D., March 3.-That
there must be thorough investiga-
tion of road materials in South Da-
kota preliminary to any comprehensive
plan for the development of the high
ways Of the state is the conviction Of
Professor ]. Maughs Brown, Of the
College of engineering at the Univer-
city of South Dakota Little is
known at present, says Professor
Brown, about the location and nature
Of the available road material of South
Dakota. This state, like other states,
must make the hest possible use Of its
natural resources for road building
and in order to do that the people of
the state should know what these re-
sources are and where they can be
found.
Gravel and sand clsy are the most
practical for the roads of the state.
There is very little broken stone with
IN the borders Of South Dakota and
concrete and macsdsm are out Of the
question for stHts roads except for
very short strips. Ths cns. of $4,000
to Sl3, 600 mile for concrete makes II
for the most part productive and ma.
csdam is only slightly cheaper when
upkeep is considered L. is difficult
however to get gravel OR eapj-oley in
many parts of the state, especially
where little or no attempt has been
made to discover or tap the deposits.
The College Of Engineering Is al
presen. testing materials from differ
ent sections of the state and is propos-
ing to undertake survey for the def
mite purpose Of determining the loca-
tion and nature of South Dakotn's
road materials.

TO show how far England has gone
in seizing mails. Secretary Lam

this did not satisfy the American

these did not go far enough. The
