SOUTH DAKOTA

State Executive Tells Of Resources and
Advantages.

(By FRANK NJ. BIRNE, GOVERNOR
Appreciation Week has been desig-
mated, and Is being promoted, in South
Dakota to induce us to pause a brief
moment in our busy lives and give
thought to the many blessings and
privileges we enjoy, to the many adj
vantages we are surrounded with here
in this good state, to consider how We
may improve and best take advantage
of our natural opportunities, and to
promote state development.
We might also call it Cooperation
Week, as I believe the very spirit OF

ton, team work, mutual reciprocal eff
fort. for the benefit not only of our
selves, but of our neighbor as well;
cooperation in promoting community
welfare, building and identifying
towns and homes, improving roads.

gent on deferred paymentg.


A water right costs $40 per acre on
the gravity unit and $3.50 per acre on
the pumping unit A payment OF per
cent of this amount is required at the
time Of filing water right application,
after which there is no further pay
ment for 1--WE years, Then there are
Ave annual payments Of per cent each
and ten payments Of per cent each,
making the entire amount payable In
20 years without interest. Purchasers
are required to reside within SO miles
Of their land, at the time OF filing water
right application.
The cost or operation and mainte-
nance is based on the amount of water
used. In 1915 the charge on the gravity
unit was so cents per acre for the first
acre foot and cents per acre foot for
excess. 1t has not yet been fixed for
1916. On the pumping unit the price
set for 1915 Is 81 per acre for the nrst
acre foot and 40 cents for each aadi-

1t Is generally conceded that the Min
