INDIAN BEAD WORK
PRESENTED TO UNIVERSITY

vermilion. S.. D., Feb. 5.-Indian
bead work usually goes east from
South Dakota to enrich the museums
of the seaboard states, but once in a
while the process is reversed.
A collection of Sioux Indian bead
work has just been presented the
University of South Dakota by Mrs.
George Biller, jr., New York city.
Mrs. Biller is the widow of Bishop
Biller. OF Sioux Falls, s. D., who was,
before his conservation as a bishop,
dean of the cathedral in Sioux Falls.
The bead work, including several
pieces of wonderful workmanship, was
presented to Bishop n Mrs. Biller by
the Sioux Indians who attended the
Niobrara convocation held on the
Sisseton reservation in 1913. At this
meeting Sioux Indian women con-
tributed $500 in currency and specie
to the missionary fur to be disbursed
by the bishop. The money was placed
in a beaded satchel and was carried by
the bishop on his trip back to Sioux
Falls. Bishop Biller was missionary
bishop of South Dakota for the Profess
tant Episcopal Church.

HE FIGURES COST OF
PROPOSED POWER PLANTS

Pierre, S. d, Feb. with much
discussion in papers over this part of
the northwest concerning cost in on
hection with state power development
along the Missouri river, Doane Robin
son, state historian, has made a state
ment. He is basing his figures on war
prices, despite the fact hat this state
cannot get into actual construction for
a couple of years at the best. He say
that, according TO the site selected,
dams upon the Missouri will be from
1880 to $500 feet long. Before the
was just such 4 dam as will be re-
auired here cost $514 per linear foot,
including the necessary locks. Sup
pose the longest dam is selected and
assume the cost to be $1,000 per linear
foot, the dam structure and locks will
cost 81, 500 600. One million more will
erect the power house and install all
nessary machinery for a as, 900 -horse-
power plantt.
The next proposition, he says, is the
transmission. Today pure copper wire
Is offered in car lots at 20 cents per
pound. The best transmission known
is 3-phase No. s wire, which weighs,
single wire, SO pounds to the 1000 feet
of wire, or s25 pounds OF ~3-phase wire
to the mile, costing s165 for the mile
of wire. This transmission will carry
$50, 900 volts. There will be required
35 reinforced, hollow concrete posts to
the mile, which will cost installed
about $50 each, or $2,100 for the posts;
or. in other words, such line fully
equipped will cost in round figures
about $4,000 per mile; and if 1000
miles of it is to be used-more than
will be required in the first instance
the cost will be $3,0 600 900, making the
total cost of development, including
transmission, $500 900. An estimate
of the initial plant cost is $40, 000, 900.
All of these costs will be greatly re-
duced with the return of peace condi-
tons.

WAR VETERANS AT
ABERDEEN TO ORGANIZE

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 1.-When the
Aoerdeen post. Veterans of Foreign
wars, was organized soon after the
Phlilppine war, 1T was named for Noah
r.. f~tahskopf, a young South Dakota
soldier who lost his life in the Philip
pines. Now the veterans of the Eu-
ropean war are to be admitted to
membership and a movement has been
started among members Of the post to
change its name to Clinton c.. Croal
post, after Lieut.. Clinton c. Croal, a
young Aberdeen lawyer, who was the
iirst broWn county boy to lose his life
IN batting against the Germans. 1t
Is possible, however, that a separate
post of the organization will be formed
and called for Lieutenant Croal, as 1t
is held there will be members enough
1or two good posts of the organization
at Aberdeen.

GRAPE JUICE IS

South Dakota Court Is Con.
fronted With Question of
Whether or Not 1t Is In
toxicating Liquor.

Lead, S. D., Feb. LIN the trial of
Steve Pervetich, on charge of having
liquor in his possession, the Lead nuns
icipal court is confronted with the
question as to whether wine or grape
Juice is a fer1nented liquor, containing
alcohol.
The defendant contends that the
liquor seized in his home by the CT
ficers was not in fact wine; tina it
had not C the state Of fermenta-
ton In which alcohol is formed. 1t Is
admitted 1t was grape juice and even
tually would Gave become wine, but
had not progressed that far when the
oftlcers, acting on a Tip" swooped
down upon the defendants home and
ccnfiscated the alleged liquor and took
him into custody.
The state prohibition law does not
permit the sale, manufacture or pos
session OF a beverage containing any
amount of alcohol; the smallest amount
Of alcohol present places the beverage
within the limits Of the prohibition law.
The defendant also contends that the
alleged wines and cordials taken from
his home were there before the state
wide prohibition law went into effect
July l, 1917, and that consequently no
illegal act was committed in possess
sing them.
The alleged wines and cordials were
found In the defendants house In sucl,
quantities that the officers had to
commander a sleigh to convey the
liquor to police Headquarters.

PURE FOOD INSPECTORS
IN SOUTH DAKOTA ACTIVE

Nerinilion, S. D., Feb. Activity
Oh the pure food inspectors since the
opening or the year has resulted in
hVe successful prosecutions to date for
violations of the law. Inspector w. M.
Cox started the a rolling when he
brought to justice a butcher in Miller
who had failed to use proper care in
keeping his market clean.
The same inspector a few days later
swore to a complaint charging a kim
ball produce dealer with Strengthening
and dressing poultry under unc1ean
and u%nsanitary conditions.
TWO days later another inspector
sWore to a complaint alleging improp-
sr of a meat market at Ortley.
AS in the preceding cases, the defend
ant took the judgment Of the court and
paid his fine.
On the 21st Of the month Inspector
Fl. c. Clark brought before a justice in
DeSmet the driver Of a medicine wag-
on who had been selling a medicinal
stock food in the vicinity of Arlington
contrary to the state law. The de-
PENDANT pleaded guilty as charged. IN
spector Cox again found it necessary
to seek a prosecuting attorney when he
made an inspection of a candy. shop in
Hot Springs. The proprietor of this
place had previously been warned by
Inspector Cox n also had received
written notice from the commissioner
to conduct his place in conformity
with the sanitary law. Warnings seem
to ave had little effect in this in
stance, for the inspector found condi-
tons intolerable last week and pro-
ceeded at once to bring the offender
into court. AS a result, the school fund
Of Fall River county is richer by $50.
