Three branches of railroading from the Bir- mingham Southern are being finished to carry building material to the new plant, one branch having locomotives running on it already. Numbers of men are digging long, deep trenches in which storm sewers will be laid to drain the plant site. Besides the at tractive office buildings reconstruct ed from dwelling houses the plant sup ply house Is nearing completion.
 Westneld, the community that is be- ing built for negro employees of the plant, is fast taking shape. The houses are being built in bungalow style, each house to be occupied by two families, and are built in one long row on the ridge of a woody slope. These houses will be ready for occupancy in a week or two.
 Engineers are busy surveying the lots for the company houses to be built in Fairfield for the men in charge the new plant. The cost for construct ing these houses will be from $3000 to 5000. Some of the most desirable lots in Fairfield were purchased for these houses.

GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE
A Review Of the Work OF the state
Government at the Capitol and
at the Various State
Institutions.


A race of savages, who lived chiefly
on buffalo meat, dwelt in South Da-
kota in prehistoric times, centuries
and perhaps ven thousands OF years
before the white man came. These
early inhabitants ~antedated the Arick-
ara Indians, formerly supposed to be
the first inhabitants. This, in brief,
is the conclusion of w. II. Over, Of
the University of South Dakota, who
found the first trace of prehistoric
man found in South Dakota. These
conclusions were recently placed be-
fore a meeting of psychologists at the
University of South Dakota. Mr.. Over
said:
While waiting for a ferry boat on
the west side of the Missouri to cross
to LeBeau, Walworth county, S. d., my
attention was attracted by crushed
bones in an old soil layer of the Mis-
souri, rivers high cut bank. These
bones were located about fifty feet
above the water and foul feet beneath
the present soil surface. To an archie
illogical student these crushed bones
are always an indication of an early
Indian camp site. Upon further inves-
tigation, ! discovered fragments of
pottery, ashes, charcoal, and flint
flakes mingled with the crushed
bones. At the time, the cause of an
nln Indian a ~ y ctfa hnfpu h,r;n1 GO
deep below the present surface was
attributed to some local phenomenon
and no further attention was paid to
it, This was in November, 1912.
in August, 1916, while doing re-
search work for the Museum of the
University of South Dakota in the old
Arickara village sites north of Fort
Pierre, my attention was again di-
reCted TO the same soil layer over
100 miles from the LeBeau observa-
ton. At this point / found bone
spades, hammer stones, flint knives.
pottery fragments, and indisputable
evidence Of camp fires. This was
evidence that the building up of the
top soil layer at the LeBeau site was
not due to local causes for the two
camp sites, although a hundred miles
apart, were in the same soil layer.
ION the present soil surface, and
only a few rods from the Fort Pierre
camp site, the old Arickara village
sites are located. 1t had been here
tofore generally understood hat the
Arickara indians were probably the
earliest settlers in territory that is
now South Dakota.
However, the &nding Of evidence
ora camp site in an earlier soil layer
under the Arickara village sites, and
the discovery Of another 100 miles
north in the very same soil layer, con.
clusively proved to me that men lived
in South Dakota hundreds of years be-
fore the Arickara Indians inhabited
this locality.

FOR neat appearance, pleasing bal
ance and harmonious color scheme, the
little house shown in the accompanying
perspective view Is attractive to a
marked degree. One of the principal
features of the design is u porch which
Is thoroughly adaptable to the design.
The house expresses comfort and hos
pitality in its appearance, due very
largely 10 the effect Of the porch. A
low arched effect is used across the
front of the house and the ends of the
porch have a similar treatment; the
vertical measurement of the curve is
the same for these two arched effects,
however, which gives that at the end
considerably more of a curve than that
across the front of the house. The
graceful effect obtained by the use of
these false arches is well shown in the
perspective view.
The typical bungalow lines are not
sacrificed in any way by making this
home of the story-and-a-half type. The
low fiat dormer breaks up the roof ex-
panse and gives q decorative touch to
the design while, at the same time,
abundant light is furnished to one OF
the rooms on the second floor. Rafter
ends are exposed across the width of
the main roof and the dormer roof.
SiXteen-light windows are provided in
the dormer and large plate glass win
