To Light LAKE ROAD
TELEPHONE COMPANY MAKES
GENEROUS OFFER-LIBERAL
RESPONSE BY CITIZENS.

To make the three miles or so Of
roadway between the city and Lake
Madison a highway over which ii will
be a pleasure to travel night or day,
as well as one that will add to the
status of this locality as a summer
resorL and chautauqua center, is the
aim of members of the Commercial
club and Madison Merchants asso-
citation.
With subscriptions for the gravel
ing of the road from the creamery
southeast of tae city, TO the lake,
growing more rapidly than the most
sanguine member Of the joint good
roads committee had expected they
would, the Dakota Central Telephone
company has come forward with a
highly acceptable offer to assist i'm
providing for electrically lighting the
road. The company has volunteered
TO sell, at a very nominal sum, the
telephone poles removed from the
streets when underground wires were
recently laid, and other poles replaced
last month by new ones. Also they
have told that if an electric light line
to the lake is installed while their
additional forces are here. they will
have their experts erect the poles
along the route and run the wires for
the actual cost of the day labor in
volved.
That the lighting project was not
formally taken up before was due TO
the fact that there was not, until re-
Gently, sufficient power generated TO
supply the electricity, il is explained.
With the installing in the local power
house of the new engine, hal obstacle
has been removed.
DR.. H.. Fl. F~rudenfeld, chairman Of
the joint good roads committee, said
today that the committee circulating
the petition for money with which
to pay the expense Of |grayeling the
road to the lake, had met with much
more generous response than had
been anticipated. He told that some
men who had subscribed, had said
that If extreme difficulty were realiz-
ed in raising the 5000 or so required
from citizens, they would increase
their contributions. IT is believed
that 5000, at least, will have been
subscribed by the middle of next
week.

BILLION DOLLAR Ditch
DAKOTA PUBLISHER WOULD ASK
CONGRESS- TO IRRIGATE
OO,O0O,O 900 ACRES.

With a view to arousing citizens OF
seven western states TO a pinnacle
from which they will demand that
the government construct an irriga-
ton canal more than a thousand
miles in length, at an approximate
cost of $1,000. 900, 900, ALI Reed, ed
itor of the Call to Action, a semi
monthly periodical published at Stur-
gis, is on his way south. Mr.. Reed
who spent a part of yesterday and
last night in the city, discussed the
proposed project at length, and gave
evidence that he at least has the
courage of his convictions. The
movement is known as the Central
Waterway Conservation project.
1t is Mr.. Reeds plan to start the
canal at the Big Horn river, in Mon
tana, and route it through the semi
arid lands of northeastern Wyoming,
then south through western South
Dakota and Nebraska and on through
Kansas and Oklahoma into northern
Texas. 1t is proposed TO tap the Big
Horn at an elevation of 300 feet and
the ditch would be 300 feet wide and
Is feet deep. He estimates hat two
of the three big dams 1t would be
necessary to build would themselves
cost S4,500,000. The three dams
would be at the functions of the Belle
Fourche, White and Platte rivers.
Mr.. Reed said no estimate had been
made of the probable cost of a dam
across the Platte river.
The productivity of the 100, OOO,-
600 or so acres of land to be irrigated
would be increased to by a value Of
from SIS to $40 an acre annually, Mr..
Reed believes. The total benefit to
the land owners would then be be-
tween s500,000,0 900 and 100000
900 a year.
1t is the intention to have the ex-
perse Of constructing bitches and
