STATE UNIVERSITY

In the face of the desertion of
the campus for the farm, the train
ing camps, the army, navy and
coast artillery, and despite its pre-
sent decreased list of students, the
University of South Dakota is
planning for bigger enrolment and
larger usefulness in the future.
The legislature appropriated
S150,000 for new buildings at the
University of South Dakota. Of
this sum $125, 600 is to 90 for a
new woman's building which will
house the Home Economics depart
ment, furnish rooms for the Y. w.
G. A., give space for a badly need
ed women's gymnasium, and sup
ply additional dormitory for girls.
This building is to be located
just east of the present women's
women's dormitory. A second
new building, the first unit of an
engineering building, is to cost
S25. 1000, and, will be erected this
summer. These new buildings will
increase the Uniyersity's plant to
eleven principal buildings. A new
observatory costing $4,000 is near
ing completion and will house the
astronomical department after
September 1.

II is a question of fuel with the
people in this country the coming
winter more than food, as we will
undoubtedly raise enough food for
home consumption and more, but
the fuel problem is a menace. If
that briquette plant at Scranton
can be utilized to save money we
should do it. In fact, we should
use that fuel in preference to the
other anyway even, though it costs
as much. 1t is the only wav we
can get a reduction on coal rates
into this country. If we could ship
the coal to Mobridge and float it
down the river to Pierre it might
save a lot of money in Pierre and
TT. Pierre and surrounding coun-
try. At present it looks as though
the coal combine intended boosting
prices still higher, while the rail-
roads have already levied a terrible
tribute on coal consumers.-Pierre

TREES BY THE ROADSIDE

The Milwaukee Journal voices
the plea that beauty is an import
ant phase of the good roads move
ment. 1t cites the fact that every
foot of the Dixie highway is to be
beautified by shade trees, and asks
the question, "why not here?"
Why not everywhere, in fact?
The same cry has come recently
from other places. People are
waking up to the fact that while
agitation for good roads and their
actual construction have been 90
ing forward. almost no attention
has been paid to the country along
those roads. The result is that
there are in many places long
stretches of excellent roads with
not a shade tree in sight.
The journal recommends that
all the proposed trunk highways
should be lined with shade trees
indigenous to the regions through
which the roads pass. And it adds
a suggestion that good paths at
the side of the roads would be an
excellent addition to their general
usefulness and pleasure-giving.
Walking, as we'll as motoring, is
gaining in popularity.
1t is an ideal worth working for.
Trees every where, lawns and
flowers where feasible, would add
much to the highways of the coun-
try.
And if the American tourist
could learn to curb his ruthless
abuse of wild plant life, that day
might come when bittersweet, wild
roses and other native wild flowers
could thrive in safety and beauty
along the nations paths.

CONSERVATION NAVIGATION

From this source our running.
standing and ground waters are
deriyed. The habitability of the
country depends on these waters.
The quantity of the rainfall, in
Guiding the rainfall on water areas
is 215, 600, 600, 600. 900 cubic feet.
Of the total rainfall. over one-half
is evaporated; about a third flows
into the sea; the remaining six is
either consumed or absorbed.
OF the 20. 600, 900, 600, 900 cubic
feet annually flowing into the sea.
less than | per cent is restrained
and utilized for municipal or com
munity supply and related pur-
poses; less than 2 per cent Tor some
10 per cent of that in the arid and
semi-arid regions) is used for irri-
cation. perhaps 5 per cent is cur
rently used for navigation, and less
than 5 per cent used for power.
1t is estimated that from SO to %
per cent of the volume is wasted
in freshets or destructive floods.
There are in mainland United
States 2S2 streams navi gated for
an aggregate of 26,1 miles. and
as much more navigable by i'm
provement; there are also 45 canals
with mileage of 2,1S9.05, besides
numerous abandoned canals. On
lake and sound routes there is
large traffic, but the navigation of
rivers and canals is too small for
definite record. The cosl of water
carriage averages about a fourth
that of rail carriage, and our rail
freightage during 1905 reached
$4,000, 600, 600 ton miles at an
average rate of - cent. The
shipping of one-fifth of our freight
by water would have saved over
$3.50, 600, 900 to our producers and
consumers.
In considering the uses and bene-
fits to be derived from the 2l5, OOO,-
600, 600. 900 cubic feet of water
annually received, the permanent
use should be that of water supply:
next should follow navigation in
humid regions and irrigation in
arid regions. The development of
power or the navigaole and source
streams should be kept subordinate
to the primary and secondary uses
of the waters; though other things
equal, the development of power
should be encouraged not only to
reduce the drain on other resources
but because properly designed
reservoirs and power plants retard
the run-off and SO aid in the control
OF the streams for navigation and
other uses.
The broad plan already framed
by statesmen and experts and ap-
proved by the executive should be
enacted into law; it provides for a
system of waterway Improvement
extending to all of the uses of the
waters and benefits to be derived
from their control, including the
Qualification of the water and the
abatement of floods for the benefit
OF navigation, the extension of ir-
rigation. the development and APP
plication Of power, the prevention
Of soil-wash and utilization of the
waters for swamp and overflow
lands.
II has been roughly estimated
that the inland waterways Of the
country could be improved in ten
years ct : cost Of $4,000, 600 an
nually in such manner as to bro
mote interstate commerce and at
the same time greatly reduce the
!. waste and extend the use of thel
waters. LIE done nj the cnsk ne tha
