ROAD AND BRIDGE
WORK COUNTY


One doy last week a committee of
Beadle county commissioners were In
Miller checking figures on Hand coun-
tvs road and bridge expense for the
past year. 1t seems that H. r. Co.'S
tain Of Huron, has been getting fig
ures ON the road and bridge work Of
several counties, which by comparison
chow that Beadle county is paying
considerable more for the same type
Of road and bridge work than Hand
county, as a result the Beadle county
commissioners r doing a little in
vestigation.
Several years ago the commission
ers Of Hand county adopted the plan
OF doing their own bridge work and
employed a competent man as super
intcnAent, and have been able to do
much more work per ear at a con-
siderable less cost, and have thus saw
ed thousands OF dollars to the tax
payers Of the county. Last years
bridge work shows q total of 26
bridges at an average cost of $721
each.
Highway Superintendent Thomas
reports the completioE of rs miles of
road In 1919 at an average cost of Sill
per mile plus depreciation on road
machinery and repair work.
The road program this year will be
confined to the roads designated as
county roads. The roads are as fol-
lows: from Orient TO Miller; from
Orient to Rec Heights; from Rec
Heights to county line south; from
Rockham to vayiand; from vayland
to county line south: and from st.
Lawrence to county line south; also
several cross roads connecting the
roads win be built, besides the upkeep
on state and trunk roads. This is
the largest amount OF road work laid
cut for a single year in the county,
and with the work on the trunk road
west Of Miller will make many miles
OF good road.
A new palmer and furnisher has
heen purchased by the commissioners
and win be used principally to resnr-
face old grades. The machine is a
new one on the market and is the only
one of it's kind in South Dakota. The
machine weighs 10000 pounds and
costs S2100.

RAPID RISE IN
LAND PRICES
South Daketa's Agricultural Land
Values Increased More Than
Majority OF States

South Dakota land prices have ex-
~perienced a great increase during the
years of 1918, 1919 and 1920, and how
great that increase has been is sci
forth in a comprehensive survey just
completed by the bureau Of crop estf-
mates Of the department of agricul-
ture. Although it may not coincide
with each particular farm sale, it Is
based ON several hundred actual and
trustworthy reports which make it the
data most reliable when considering
the extensive area, III. O. Herbrand-
son, crop bureau agent declares.
Land Values Increases
This investigation reveals the fact
that land In South Dakota is now
at 5000 per acre a raise of
approximately $17.00 during the year,
In 1916 this same land was placed at
$4,000 per acre, thus showing an in
crease of SGT 90 since that time. Good
pillow land is valued at s70S.00; last
year the same land was estimated at
$77.0O, showing an increase in market
value of $31.00 and an increase OF SAT
per acre since 1916. The average OF
all plowlands is now found to be
$4,000 per acre. One year ago the
value was placed at $67. 90, an increase
of $1,000 in one year. In 1916 this
land was valued at $4,000 per acre,
showing an imitation in four years of
$37.00 per acre. Land with improve
ments is placed at $1,000 per acre,
against $4,000 one year ago, al in
crease of $4,000 per acre and an In
crease of $4,000 per acre since 1916.
without improvemSn ts. this land is
placed at $500 per acre. an increase
of $4,000 since 1919 and an increase
of $500 per acre since 1916.
Few Show Creator Raise
Few states show a much greater in
crease in land values than South Da-
kota during the more recen years.
The most phenomenal ncrease have
OF course been in the older settled
and better farmed regions of the state,
especially in that portion bordering
on Iowa and southern Minnesota
where some sales have exceeded $500
per acre. The cheapest land in this
state is now to be found in the north
western quarter, where there is less
intensive farming practiced The
west section OF the state, including
Lawrence, Meade. Pennington. Haa-
kon. Jackson and Stanley counties
is the next i'm order of land values
while the southwest portion, including
Custer. Fall River and Pine Ridge In.
dian Reservation runs a close third
Proceeding eastward from the Mis-
souri, river, the land values increase
rapidly.

Senate Adopts Article 10
By Vote Of Two to One

Washington, March 15.-Reafirming
ito disagreement with President Will
o on the dominating issue at the
aeace treaty controversy, the senate
adonted today by a vote or more than
two To one the new article ten reser-
walton framed by republican leaders.
It's action brought to an end, at a
for the present, the protracted enort
for a compromise that would insure
ratification and the senates decision
was accepted generally as Fastening
the treaty toward another deadlock
from which it could be released only
by a verdict at the polls next Novem-
Der. Fourteen democrats voted with
the united republican membership for
the reservation, but this detection
from the administration ranks fell far
shor of the number that would be re-
ouired to ratify. IL was conceded that
others probably would swing over on
the ratification roll call, but admin
~istration leaders, backed by a dennlte
assurance that the g reservation
was unacceptable to the president
cvinced no apprehension that their
forces would dwindle beyond the dam
ged point. The vote FOR adoption, 81
TO 26, showed on its face a two thirds
majority for the reservation, bur =
by no means indicated that two .nirds
would vote for ratification. on thai
basis.
Senator Sterling voted for the reser'
walton while Senator Johnson Of South
