Is Present Estimate
Of S. D. Corn Crop

sioux Falls, s. D.. Sept. ia
yield of $1,000, 900 bushels Of corr in
South Dakota this year is forecast in
the monthly report Of H. o. Her
grandson. field agent in South Dakota
of the bureau Of crop estimates, Unit
ed States department. OF agriculture.
This is q decrease of Z little more
than 100000 bushels from the esti-
mate made a month ago.
The report states that. the weather
during the pastimonth has been such
as to mature thu corn crop better than
in any other recent year. and that
there will be no ldificulty experienced
in securing enough quality seed for
next spring, providing effort y made
to gather and keep the corn properly.
Mr.. Herbrandkon states that the corn
reduction during the past month is
due to the conditions which have pre-
vailed throughout the western and
much Of the central portions Of the
state. where the corr has hardened
prematurelY and is somewhat inclined
to be mixed with Ears that are. not
fully developed, while in other areas
the corr is found to be ninty.

down hill. Food began to sou in my

food tasted right to me and I lost my
appetite and could only mince along
on some kind of light diet, which
wasn't enough to keep up my
strength. Ny nerves got all torn up
and I would be restless at night and
couldn't sleep I felt tired and worn
would suffer for several hours with O

II am here to tell you that Tanlac

rush to the Copper Lake region fa.,ed
to die quickly, as some mining men
had forecast and the government has
become interested in activities in this
wild region.

that his find was a pay streak of four
inches wide in a 6-foot vein of quartz.
Copper Lake Is east Of Lake Atha-
p~apuskow, and about SO miles ease of
h sulphide mines. 1t is about 60
miles due north from here but pros
pectors are Obliged to travel $50
miles by water to get there. There

Pioneer miners from The Pas who
are at Copper Lake have reported
that rude buildings are springing up
and that scenes which took place dur

5. D. Wheat Expected
To Average S Bushels

Sioux Falls, S.. D., Sept. 12.-"With
a par value now of approximately 16
bushels per acre in South Dakota"
the report says, 1.-The rcturns received
indicate the yield Of spring wheat will
be approximately eight bushels per
acre. Or a total production of about
SO.36S,oo0 bushels. The production
this year is the smallest since 1916,
when the production was placed at
22.o5o.o00 bushels, with p markedly
inferior quality.
The quality and production of oats
in South Dakota shows a further re-
duction and is now placed at $751;
100000 bushels. This is about &c.
000,0 0 bushels less than was esti-
mated for the 1918 crop. The five
year average is about 57,5O0,OOO
bushels.
T%hreshing returns justify the pro-
duction of barley being placed at 3D.
$4,000 bushels, or a 5,260,0OO bushel
increase over the figures of one month
g and about 5000, 900 bushels above
the fve-year average, although APP
proximately 10000, 900 bushels less
than the 1918 production.

sioux INDIANS
TO HOLD FAIR
AT FORT YATES
September Is, 26 And ~
Are Dates Set for Red{
Mems Big Event.

Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 12.-The
Sioux Indians of Standing Rock are
preparing for their biggest and best
county fair at Fort Yates on Sept. Is,
20 and 81, reports Major j. B. Kitch,
agent for this reservation, who came
to Bismarck Wednesday with a num-
Der of the prominent Indians of Sioux
county to greet President Wilson.
Because grain crops have not been
as good as usual, especial attention
VIII be paid this year, advises Major
kitch, to blooded livestock, in whose
breeding the Indians have made re-
markable strides during the last few
years. Red Tomahawk is president
'of the fair association and Basil Two
Bears. a son of old Chief Two Bears,
one OF the most famou indian lead
ers tho reservation has known, is sec
rotary. Tomahawk and Two Bears
were in charge of the wonderfully
successful soldiers homecoming stag
ed on the Fourth of July at Cannon
ball. when more than 5000 Indians,
including. hundreds of visitors from
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming
and Canadian points, were in attend
ance.
Includes Many Events.
The fair will include the usual
sports program, including frontier e1-
hlb1tions of riding, roping inc novelty
races. and 1t is expected as usual that
large numbers will drive to Fort Yates
from Aberdeen, Bismarck, the Black
Hills and other nearby points. Fort
Yates now has a thoroughly modern
hotel which will afford Accommodations
provision can be made for everyone
who desires to remain over night.
Meet Their Chief.
Among leading Indiana fron, tho
reservation who we're here t. greet
their Great White Father on Wednes-
day were Red Tomahawk, Cold Hand,
Basil W Bears and Asa Little S%ow,
who succeeded A. c. Wells as govern
ment farmer on Standing Rock.
President Wilson showed a lively in
terest in the progress which his red
skin wards are making on Standing
Rock. He was informed that the
reservation had 1874 enlistments for
service in the worlds wal and that
the physical standard of these men
was very high, their loss during the
flu epidemic being only one per cent.
which was much lower than that
from any other reservation.
The President was informed that
Major James S. Mclaughlin of WASH
ington. D.. c.. and Major James B.
kitch, agent at Standing Rock, sitting
as a competency board, have just be-
slowed full citizenship rights on zoe
more Indians, who receive their fees
patent, and that of an Indian popula-
ton of 3,400, 700 adult males, or more
than 60 per cent of the whole num-
her of male adults are now full
fedged citizens, independent and
making a, substantial livelihood for
themselves as farmers and stockmen.
StOrk Is Busy.
The stork is working full time on
Standing Rock. OF the total popu-
lation of 3,400, 918 are children of
school age. Major Kitch doesn't do a
great deal of Boosting, but he is
mighty proud OF his people and of the
fact that Of the. Sioux under fifty
years Of age. fully ninety per cent
speak English.

"a CITY OVER NIGHT

Calgary. Alta. Sept. 12.-Old-tim-

which closed here recently. rubbed
their, eyes in amazement when they
realized that Calgary. a. city Of So
900 people. had a population of only
5000 in 1901 and that eight years pro-
vious only a few prairie huts marked
the site of the metropolis of Alberta.
Prior 10 1889, Calgary was merely
a post for mounted police and two
fur trading companies. Then the
railroad came to replace the prairie
schooner. For the next ten years.
Calgary was known as a cow town.
Uprisings by Cree Indians caused con-
siderable trouble but the mounted
police gradually obtained the upper
hand.
In 1874. the Scarlet Riders built
the first log hut on the site of CAL
gary.

New Creamery For r.
M'Intosh Is Likely

Mcintosh, Mimi, Sept. 12.-Patrons
of the North Star Dairy association at
a meeting called for Monday, Septem-
Der Is. will decide the question of a
new creamery building.
1t seems to most of the patrons that
the present building is inadequate in
both size and equipment to take care
of the yer increasing business, as the
butter output has almost doubled in
the last year. 1t is apparently neces-
sary to add to the present building
or to construct an entirely new one,
and it is believed that the latter curse
is most favored by the patrons, a point
which tho. election will decide.
