MILLION DOLLAR
DRAINAGE PLAN
WILL. RECLAIM GREAT AREAS
OF LAND NOW FLOODED.

Pierre, July S.-State Engineer
Brey will go to Sanborn county this
week to look over a proposed ST.
100000 drainage project for Sanborn
county.
That county is largely swamp this
year on account of lack of drainage,
and the plan proposed covers large
part of the county with retaining
dikes and bitches. which will cost ap-
proximately 81 100000.
Apparently Sand creek, which runs
across the northern and central por-
tions of the county in a long curve,
does not have a well-defined valley
near its headwaters, and in such a
year as the present more of the wa
ter which should flow in the chan
mel sweeps across the country, gen
orally trying to find shorter
course to the Jim river than that of
the old channel.
The plan comprises a system of
dikes to prevent this overflow, and
bitches to carry surplus water from
the land which has been flooded for
the past couple of years.

ENGAGEMENT BANDS.

Sioux Falls, July 8.-Through its
adjutant general the One Hundred
and Forty-seventh field artillery,
South Dakota's regiment of the world
war, has been accorded an honor that
is granted very few regiments of di-

flagstaff of the regiment have been
received by the state adjutant gen.
erals office and will be placed on

this regiment of artillery, which was
in the thick of the fighting during
the closing weeks of the war. Three
bands are for service in major en-
gagements and three for service on
defense sectors. Very few regiments
of divisions have received a total of
six bands, which have been issued as
a company honor in replacement OF
farrows or ribbon decorations given

CLOSE FREIGHT
RATE HEARINGS
FINAL ARGUMENTS HEARD, by
I. c. C.--EXPECT DECISION
IN AUGUST.

Washington, July S-Hearings
were closed before the interstate
commerce commission on the rail-
roads application for increased
freight rates which had been de-
scribed by shippers and carriers
alike at the greatest single PROPOSE
tion in it's effect on the American
mittee. Decision by the commission
on the application is expected early
in August i'm order that the new
rates may be effective when the gov
ernment guarantee expires September
l. 1t is generally assumed that the
forthcoming wage award of the rail
road labor board will be taken into
consideration without further hear
ings in adjusting the new schedule.
The railroads under the provisions
of the transportation act. asked ad-
vances which would yield an added
yearly income of $1,070, 100000 to
provide the per cent return per-
mitted by the law. In addition, the
expense to be created by the expect
ed award of the railroad labor board,
estimated at between 100000, 900
and $1,0OO,0OO,0 200, must be met By
further increases. the carriers claim.
Opposition on the part of ship
pers was confined mainly to the
rates of increases asked by the car
riers, 80 per cent in the east, g. per
cent in the south and "a per cent in
the west, which, it was argued, We're
too high. The necessity for some
advance was generally conceded.
Many shippers disapprOve of a gen
eral advance on the strict productive
basis as advocated by the carriers and
suggested flat increases on cOmmodi-
ties
Clifford Thorn of Chicago, in the
final argument in behalf of the ship
pers. declared that an adequate trans
portation service was an absolute pre-
requisite to the commercial develop
ment of the United States and thai
nothing should be done which woUIC
unnecessarily shock or disrupt exist
ing trade conditions or place an un-
due or unwarranted burden on Amer
ican industry.
If shippers computations are cor
rect Mr.. Thorn contended. an ad-
vance of 16 u per cent on freight
would take care of the present neces-
sity and reduce the burden in freight
traffic by $3S,000,000 annually
