Push Monster
Dam Project

White River, Dec. 21.-The city
council of this place is pushing the
project of building monster dam
on the White river, which passes by
the town, in order to provide power
for the operation of the local electric
light and power plant. The harness
ing of the river will be one OF the
greatest projects ever undertaken In
this part of the Rosebud country.
Members of an engineering firm
at Deadwood have been engaged to
make a complete survey of the pro-
posed project, to determine which
will be the more practical, a solid
concrete dam and low-head power
unit, or a low dam of cheaper con-
struction an da canal of possibly two
or three miles in length and power
unit suitable for a 30-foot head
which would be obtained by the lat
ter plan.
The engineers also will be assign.
ed the duty Of selecting suitable To-
cation for the power house. It II
believed horsepower ranging from
Its to 200 can be developed very
easily by harnessing the river.

Iowa agriculturalists made the
above recommendation recently
when producers declared the present

CONDITIONS ARE
GETTING BETTER
BUSINESS CONDITIONS HERE AND
ABROAD ARE SHAKING THEM
SELVES OF RUINATION

Washington, Dec. 21.-Continued
improvement in business conditions
both in this country and abroad were
foreseen yesterday by treasury Off
cials. Discussing the worlds busi-
ness outlook, they declared market
improvement could be seen and that
although no immediate business
boom could be foreseen a slow but
sure recovery in conditions was to
be exp4ted.
Such improvement as has taken
place, officials declared. has been
due to the natural causes and In the
continued operation of natural read
justment general betterment would
be expected. Improvement in for
eign exchange, particularly the rise
in the pound sterling, was cited as
an example of Improvement abroad
and it was said that while the situa-
tion in many European countries is
serious, it could not now be consid-
cred as desperate,
In this country officials asserted,
clamor for assistansce in the cotton
esctions had ceased while efforts OF
the war finance corporation were be-
lieved to be materially relieving con-
ditions in the agricultural and live
stock industry. At the same time,
it was pointed out, federal reserve
rediscount rates and commercial
rates had dropped, evidencing a bet.
ter feeling in the money market.
Readjustment in prices and wages
were given as some of the natural
causes leading TO improvement but
it was asserted, because of falling
prices the purchasing power of the
farming element had been slowly re-
duced.
Until this purchasing power re
covers, there will. in the opinion oil
officials, be no immediate or remark

RAIL Commission
IS KEEPING BUSY
SOUTH DAKOTA BOARD HAS Ov-
ER 20 PROTESTS LODGED WITH
NATIONAL BODY.

Pierre, Dec. 21.-At the present
time the South Dakota railroad COM
mission has over 20 prospects on file

given out by members of that com

not settled finally is the livestock
case covering freight tariffs from
South Dakota points to the principal
livestock markets. of the country.
With the exception of the case on
grain. grain products and hay recent
ly decided by the Interstate Com
merce commission, the livestock case
is the greatest one from an economic
standpoint that has been brought up
by the South Dakota commission
in some time. This is due to the
fact that approximately 10000 car
loads of livestock are shipped out of
this state annually, according to the
commission.
The board has just filed COM
plaint with the Interstate Commerce
commission on proposed increases in
rates on roofing and building mater
ials which are to go into effect short
ly and which on the various classes
of materials means an average in
crease of from to 4 cents per hum
dred weight
Two South Dakota cases have just
been set for argument by the Inter
state Commerce commission. On JAN
uary 7 there will be an argument in
Washington on the protest of the
South Dakota commission on freight
rates on print and other classes of
paper. On January II the argu-
ments will be begun on South Da-
kota protests on rates on brick and
tile from Mason City, Ia, to points
in this state. The South Dakota
commission will be represented at
both hearings.

OF good old by-gone days.
The home, we hail!
