priscd TO learn that but IL percent OF
roads in this country are surfaced
Out OF an estimated total OF 2,478,ss1
miles Of public rural roads, only about
po,l35 are surfaced or improved.
Indiana shows the greatest percent
age of improved highways. 42.s per-
cent of its roads being surfaced, based
on the last available figures OF 1919
That there is a great need for good
roads can be deduced from the in
creased tendency for long distance
hauling by motor truck and particuI-
ariy by the fast that $1,000 employees
Of the United States postoffice de-
partment travel 100000 miles daily
in delivering mail on rural routes.
With an estimated 1920 production
Of 100000 automobiles. the need for
better highways Is evident That this
fact is recognized by states and num-
icipaiities is shown by estimated ap-
preparations OF $500, 10000 to be
spent on hard surfaced roads during
the year.
In 1918 approximately ll,o44 miles
Of roads were improved In this coun-
try and the enormous sum Of $34,974,-
600 was spent on maintenance. More
than $20.000,0OO have been spent on
the $500 miles Of Lincoln highway
between the Hudson river and San
Francisco in the last six wears.

as a thing that is due that city
on account of its prosperity and
many superior advantages. With
little apparent excitement the
Gate City Guide offers merely this
comment:
Ever since the government has
turned the railroads back to the
owners there has been rumors
that the Northwestern intended
to make Radid City divisional
healquarter or that it would make
all kinds Of improvements here in
keeping with the growth and inn
portance of the city. These reports
are to be partly varified by the re-
moval of the p. r. c.. offices from
Pierre to Rapid City about Aug
ust /. Superintendent Campbell,
now of Pierre and two dispatchers
are to have offices in the city.
While division headquarters
still remain at Chadron, this chan
ge will bring to our city addition
al railroad prestige and is only
the beginning on the part of the
Northwestern of making this one
of the most important business
centers on it's line.

HAIL LOSSES HEAVY--NONE In
HAAKON COUNTY YET

Hail losses reported in the state
hail department are heavier up to
this date than the same date last
year. Up to this time last year
there had been but about 35 loss
es reported. To date this year
400 losses have been reported com
ing from practically all parts of
the state. The heaviest calls have
been from the counties of Dewey,
Brookings, Charles Mix, Corson,
Duel, Grant, Harding, Lake, Nc
Cook, Meade, Minnehaha, Perkins,
Tripp and Ziebach. These losses
are scattered over SO widely divid-
ed sections of the state that the
adjusters will have to do much
travelling to inspect all of them.
as the territory covered reaches
from the exereme northeast cor
ner to the southeast corner, and
up into the northeast portion of
the state.
We regret to chronicle these
losses from nearby counties, and
hope that Haakon county will not
later be included in the list. Thus
far we have escaped. The next
four weeks are the critical ones for
hail losses, and if we pass them by
without disaster, we will be gett-
ing in the clear, at least SO far as
small grain is concerned.

GREAT CROP PROSPECTS

cts of this part of the country

this summer would be one OF the
dryest knwn in the history of the
country. And look what happen

in the past three months and on
some days we have had several

waterspouts, mild warm rains, ev-
erything in the shape of wet with
the exception of hail; very little
of that. And it is still raining once
or oftener every day. They are
now of the nice warm slow warm
variety that is doing the most
good to the crops and grass. And
the crops are showing the effects
of the rightly placed rains. There
are no better looking crops in
the whole United States than
right here in Western South Dak-
ota. A trip through the country
reveals the crops of wheat, oats,
ETC., heading out, corn coming a.
long as rapidly as possible, grass
up to your waist and garden truck
at it's best. The farmer with fore
sight enough to put in big crop
and take care of it this year will
be a happy man at harvest time
because there isn't a thing that
can head off heavy crop of every
thing unless it would be hail, and
there seems very little chance of
hail that will do any harm to a.
mount to anything. Alfalfa has
already made one bumper crop
and, althugh the rain made it hard
to harvest that crop, it will make
another heavy crop of hay or seed

of the old Missouri, where every
thing has been so favorable in
stead of east of the river where
everything has been drowned out

harvest are poor. Midland Mail.

Jackson County Commissioners
Purchase Soldiers Memorial

The county commissioners of
jackson county were in session
last week, sitting as board of
Equalization, and attending TO the
|other irsaportant matters that all
ways come up at the July meeting.
One Of the important items of
BUSINESS transacted was the pur-
chase of soldiers memorial
which will be erected in the court
house yard at Kadoka. The mem
orial will consist of substantial
granite block or shaft to which
there will be attached an artistic
bronze tablet or plate. On this
will be engraved the names of all
the soldiers from Jackson county
who SERVED in the Great War and
the names Of those who served in.
the nevy also The tablet is de-
signed by one of the leading ar
lists of the whole country and the
structure will be in every way a
fitting memorial and tribute to
the young men of Jackson coun-
ty who answered the call of their
country in the late war. The tri-
butte is deserved and fitting one,
and the commissioners should re-
ceive the concentrations Of
everyone for their enterprise in
this matter.

Northwestern To Remove Pierre
Offices to Rapid City.

Announcement was made last
week that the Northwestern rail
way would on August 1st remove
its general offices at Pierre to
Rapid City and make that place
it's division point in the future.
The announcement created much
commotion, especially at Pierre,
where the change is regarded as
something of disaster. A dele
CATION is to be sent from that
town to Chicago to interview the
president of the road, and find out
presumably who is running the
road anyway. The Capital Jour
nal has the following to say about
the matter:
The mass meeting at the Com
mercial club last evening was not
as we'll attended as was hoped it
would be but the club voted to
send delegation to Chicago to
confer with President w. H. Fin
ley Of the Northwestern railroad
in regard to the proposed change
of division point, in addition to
making resolutions protesting
the change. 1t is to the interest
of every man in Pierre and parti-
cularly the business men, to op-
pose this proposed change with
every effort. IF the division point
is moved to Rapid City it will
take large portion of Pierre's
population. thing Pierre cannot
afford to lose. ]"
At Rapid City the removal seems
to be taken as a matter of course.
The change is there simply taken

BON. HOMME COUNTY BANK
FAILS.

Many former Bon Homme coun-
ty people, new residents of this
county will learn with interest Of
the recent failure Of the Bon
Homme County Bank at Scotland
The Bon Homme County Bank
has until recently been consider.
ed one of the strong banking in.
stitutions of the county.
About two years ago the con-
trolling interest was purchased by
Mr.. Henry Wenzlaff who has since
been it's president.
During the real estate boom last
year Mr. Wenzlaff made some ex-
tensive real estate deals and when
the date for settlement arrived on
March 1st he found himself fin
ancially embarrassed.
Another misfortune In the bank
was the failure of Peter Magnu-
son, a wealthy farmer and stock
dealer living in the southwest
part of the county.
It appears that Mr.. Magnuson
held bunch Of stock in the bank
and that the bank was holding
something like $4,000 of his
paper
As Mr. Manguson's liabilities are
now said to be something over
81 100000 this paper is practically
worthless.

WOOL PRICES SOMETHING OF
A MYSTERY.

Although the number of wool
growers in this region is not as
LARGE as in former wears, there are
still number Of bands Of sheep
In Haakon and Jackson counties
and to the northwest of us in
Butte and Meade counties, the
growing Of wool is still large and
important industry. Never were
market conditions to unsettled for
the wool-growers as this year. At
the present time no one Of the
growers know just where they are.
Reports are decidedly conflicting
at this time. Shearing is under
way and some sections report the
heeces lighter than the average
clips, while other reports indicate
no falling off.
All sections report no demand
for the product to date. Just
what the market price will be
when the demand opens is also a
matter Of wide difference Of nnins--
ion, ranging from 4 price far be-
low that received last year up to
prices beyond even the record fl
|gure of last year. Each prophet
bases his prediction Of some par
|ticular feature of the situation
and the actual figures will ne
doubt have to be developed BY
facts - they exist when thu buy.

LEAGUE At PALOUsE
ORGANIZE S. 0. S. THERE
WHEAT POURS INTO ELEVA-
TORS-GOOD YIELDS.
(Palouse Republic)

At the luncheon of the Palouss
chamber of commerce Saturday, the
Rev. H. H. Mitchell of Colfax, rep
resenting the "Save Our State" or
ganization, was the principal speak
er. The organization, as explained
by Mr.. Mitchell, has been formed for
the purpose of giving the public cor
rect information regarding the OBJ
jects of the non-partisan league and
also laying before the public the facts
regarding work of the league in
North Dakota.
Mr.. Mitchell declared that the non
partisans are not an organization of
the people, but that a domineering
political machine, controlled entirely
by five men, the chief of whom is A.
C. Townley. The others are W. T.
Mills, Arthur LeSeur, Lempke and
Coates of Spokane. He paid his COM
pliments to each. Some of the things
done by the league in North Dakota
were recited, and every loyal Ameri-
can citizen was urged to fight the
league wherever it makes it's appear
ance.
At the close of the address tho
chamber voted unanimously to form
a local branch of the organization.
The session was devoted entirely
to Mr.. Mitchell's address and to the
perfecting of an organization.

The second game between the Cubs
and Palouse resulted 20 to 10 in favor
of the Cubs, was a six inning game,
the audience thought on account Of
the Palouse players size the Cubs
would surely drop game, but after
Palouse trying different pitchers
the Cubs showed no partiality and
pounded them all for home runs and
three baggers. Norman Estes made
a pretty home run hit, Ellis Ander-

operative organization, has formally
incorporated for the purpose of mar
keting the states wheat crop cooper
atively in common with the grain of
the other northwestern states.
This association is based on the
California cooperative idea that has
operated successfully in several of
the agricultural industries of that
state. Organization has been con-
Quoted actively in Idaho and Wash
lngton for several months, resulting
in farmers in the two states signing
up between 100000 and 5,OOO,O 900
bushels of wheat to be marketed CO.

minal company, is sales agent for this
year, operating under committee of
of H. J. Herman of Genesee, Idaho;
R. V. Peringer of Belmont, Wash,
and w. j. Robinson of Pemeroy,
Wash.
The wheat if all farmer-members
will be marketed in pools determined
by variety and grade of the grean,

received by the association for his
grain, less the cost of operation and
