South Dakota has adopted the

South Dakota has adopted the
Torrens System.
Senate Bill No. SO covering the
subject, introduced by Senator Jay
Reeves, of Brown county, has re-
ceived the almost unanimous vote
of both branches of the legislature
and since Governor Norbeck urged
the adoption of the system in his
inaugural message it will undoubt-
edly receive his approval and the
Torrens System will become avail
able to the realty owners of that
state on July 1st.
The first bill introduced in the
senate Of North Dakota was father
ed by Senator Richard McCarten.
1t provided for the system in that
state and has been passed by the
upper branch of the legislature
and a personal visit on the part of
a Dakota Farmer representative
has convinced us that the lower
house will follow suit, If indeed it
has not already done so by the
time this reaches the eye of the
reader.
The bill has not made as rapid
progress in Montana where SEN
ator Fred Whiteside is its sponsor
before the lawmakers, but it en-
countering no serious opposition
and probably will be written upon
the statute books of that state at
this session.
The form of the system as in
effect in Minnesota has been fol-
lowed in each instance, adaptions
being made to conform to the or
ganization and procedure of the
courts of the individual states.
AS the principal features of the
Minnesota law have already under
gone the acid test of court inter
probation, the construction and APP
plication of the Dakota Farmer
Empire will be free from any un-
certainty.

FOR
NITRATE PLANT

Although tremendous efforts by
powerful interests are being made
to get the government nitrate
plant located at the Muscle shoals
of the Tennessee river, the central
west stands a good chance of a
plant.
President Wilson favors three
plants and this may give one either
to South Dakota on the Missouri
or to the Rock Island Davenport
district.
Senators johnson and Kenyon,
who are trying to get a plant in.the
central west, think it probable
there will be more than one plant
established.
The announcement from Wash
ington that several members of
President Wilson's cabinet will
visit South Dakota soon to inyesti-
gate the possibilities of Big and
Little Bend on the Missouri river.
as a site for the proposed govern
ment nitrate plant, is of no little
Importance. Of course there is
but little possibility that the nit
rate plant will be located in South
Dakota. The south is in the sad
die and the south demands every
thing in sight. It will get the nit
rate plant. But the cabinet
members by a personal visit to the
Bends, cannot fail to be impressed
with the immense power POSSIBLE
tiles now awaiting development
there. Some of the cabinet mem
bers are shrewd business men. 1t
is possible the trip will result in
the development of the Bends,
either by the government or thru
private enterprise. At any rate,
the visitors will be welcomed to
the Sunshine state, and duly inn
pressed with the natural resources
of South Dakota.

St. Paul Man Shows Why Misisipi
and Missouri Rivers Should
be Made NayigabIe.

setting forth the advantages OF St.
Paul, Minnesota, as u commercial
center. The letter commences as
follows:
''The people of St. Paul, repre-
sented by the Saint Paul Associa-
ton of Public and Business Affairs,
feel a friendly interest in the
efforts being made by the people of
the Northwest to ecu public
control of the means of marketing
their cereal crops. Believing that
St. Paul is best situated to serve
as the terminal for this system, we
are submitting the enclosed brief
setting forth the reasons for our
belief
That portion of the brief relat-
ing to river commerce is of special
interest to this region, as illustrat-
ing the possibilities of the Missouri,
from which we quote as follows:
"After several years of work
and the expenditure of large sums
of money, the government of the
United States has so improved the
upper stretches of the Misisipi riv.
er that it is now navigable for the
most improved types OF towboats
and barges. St. Paul intends to
take immediate advantage of this
new highway of commerce. The
city government Of st. Paul is
planning the development of an
immense harbor. with terminal rail
connections to all roads; a part of
the docks are to be constructed at
once and navigation will oe started
during 1917.
"The significance of this river
navigation for the transportation
of grain in large quantities cannot
he over-estimated. Modern water
borne commerce is the cheapest in
the world and the rates are being
constantly lowerd by improve
ments. Meanwhile the cost of
rail transportation is trending up
ward, as shown by the frequent
appeals of the railroads to the state
and national commissions for the
right to increase their rates.
"Coal is nov being handled on
the Ohio and Misisipi rivers for
O.6 of a mill per ton mile, without
any return cargo. The grain rate
on the Hudson river, in ridiculous
ly small barges, without return
cargo, and for a short haul of only
100 miles, is only LIZ mills. A
rate Of O.6 mill per ton mile would
deliver grain from St. Paul to New
Orleans, a distance Of 1919 miles,
for $1.O9 a ton. The probability
of a return cargo may reduce this
estimate. The rail rate for the.
1900 mile rail haul to New Orleans
is about $3.50 per ton. It is GER
tain that grain can be delivered to
New Orleans for less than one-half
and probably at onefourth or n
fifth of the rail rate. This will
mean a saving of from Z to II cents
per bushel. The advantage which
the st. Paul.market will have, over
inland cities, in supplying grain to
the mills thruout the Misisipi val
ley will all 90 to the farmers of the
Northwest in the reduced cost of
getting his produce to market, and.
ct the same time, will greatly ex.

REFUSE LIQUOR LICENSES
NEAR FORT. WASHINGTON
Prince Georges County Board Takes
Drastic Action-Other Appli-
cations Rejected.

UPPER MARLBORO, May 19.-In view
of the fact that after November 1 next
Prince Georges county will be the only
territory within radius of practically
fifty miles of Washington where the
thirsty traveller can find liquid refresh
ments, the board of liquor license COM
missioners of this county has found its
mission anything but bed of roses in
passing upon applications to dispense in
toxicants. y
Probably the most drastic action taken
by the board was in the case Of three
saloons located near Fort Washington in
Piscataway district. The commissioners
fatty refused to allow these saloons to re-
main in business and declared emphatical-
ly that, until the close OF the war, no con-
sideration would be given applications
from that section The action was based
on patriotic considerations and was urged
by the president of the board, J. Chew
Sheriff. Maj. Buckley, commandant at
the fort, was the leading opponent to the
granting of these licenses.
1t was stated that over 800 soldiers are
now stationed at the fort, and the prob
abilities were that much larger number
would be there within the next month
or so.
Only One New License.
The board also refused a license to
George w. Mater for Ruppert's Park on
the Bladensburg road, and the applica-
ton of Jacob Watts for license at the
Kenilworth Club was also rejected. The
licenses of Seilig & Sansbury, in Queen
Anne district, and Xander, on the Marl-
boro pike, near Greater Capitol Heights,
were rejected.
The only license to open a new saloon
was granted to William Norgle, man.
ager, for place at the old Rives proper
ty. just across the District of Columbia
line, on the Washington Baltimore boule-
ward. A determined effort was made to
block the granting of licenses for some of
the saloons in Bladensburg, but without
avail
The citizens of Capitol Heights, just
over the District line in Seat Pleasant dis
trict, celebrated the election of John
Gabriel as mayor, w. H. McGinniss as
treasurer and J. W. Horseman, Frank
Lawrence, j. R. fudge and Rollin Reno
as councilmen. Wednesday evening. A
band of music was in attendance, and
speeches We're made by Mayor Gabriel
and the other officials, and by several
from Washington. The oath of office was
administered to the newly elected officers
by Justice of the Peace John Weast.
