AUSTRALIA HAS MUCH IRON
Engineers Report Immense Quantities Available in the Southwest Part of the Country.

Mining engineers Have reported to the Australian government that i'm mense quantities of iron ore are avail able at Yampi sound, in southwest Australia. The estimate puts the amount of ore available-that is, in sight above sea-level-at 97,OOO,O ,OOO tons. The larger quantities are on Koolan island, where the lode rises 600 feet above the water line; the lode Is over 100 feet wide, and is traced for nearly four miles, but really ex- tends right through the island. On COckatto island the height is 300 feet, the lode running from end to end of the island.
 The quality of the ore is exception al. There Is only 1 per cent of silica present and very little sulphur. These analyses compare favorably with the best known iron deposits in the world. Newfoundland (Bell island) ore Is 51 80 per cent metallic iron, with $50 per cent silica. The French ores run to 57.23 per cent, the Cumberland (England) to 4sSO per cent. the Span ish (Bilboa) to 5O84, and the Algerian to a mean of about 5O.

 IN PROPORTION
 In five years building cost has increas- ed 60 per cent.-furniture cost 127 per cent.-clothing cost 129 per cent. Con- sequently there has been great increase in the value covered by the usual policy on "dwelling and contents"
 Late increase in values has more than covered depreciation. What was suffic ient insurance five years ago may not be half enough now. To you the real value of your property is what it would cost you to replace it.
 If you were burned out today, would your loss draft from the insurance com pany pay its rightful share of the present cost of replacing your property?
 If you haven't enough insurance, per init us to consider with you what amount you should carry, or while you have the matter in mind we would be pleased to have you stop in at our office.

WANT LOWER
LAKE LEVELS
FARMERS NEAR SMALL MEAN
DERED LAKES SEEK OUT
LETS FOR WATER

Pierre, June Farmers owning
land about Lake Andes, and other
small meandered lakes in the south
ern part of the state are demanding
that the lake levels be lowered. Only
a few years ago, money was spent for
artesian wells to supply these lakes
with water. When the prairie sod
shed water as would a shingle roof,
they were filled with water, and
when the government surveys were
made, their outlines were "meander-
ed" but with the breaking up of the
prairie the water supply went into
the ground, and there was little lake
except name. Now the same lakes
are filling beyond the meandered
lines, and land owners are complain
ing of damage to their tracts. At a
recent meeting of property owners at
Lake Andes, they asked that the out
let of the lake be lowered to a point
two feet below the meander line,
which would mean a lowering of
about seven feet from the present
water level. The matter is up for dis
cussion and conference, and some ac-
tion will no doubt be taken to give
the land owners relief, but whether
it will got to the limit they ask is
question.
