ENGINEERS WILL
TAME MISSOURI
ARMY EXPERTS ARE GOING TO
MAKE OUTLAW RIVER STAY
In ITS COURSE.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 2S.--Tam-
American rivers, is the task of the
United States army river engineers,
whose headquarters are here. Their
sector Is the Missouri river from
Fort Benton, Montana, to point op-
posite Alton, Illinois, where the Mis-
souri,, with roar and rush joins
the Mississippi, and thereafter sweeps
with some degrees of calmness to the
Gulf of Mexico.
The task of the river engineers is
to persuade and coerce the Missouri
river into stay out" and to coax
it out of its longtime custom OF
changing it's channel whenever the
whim moves it.
This may sound like an eXaggera-
ton but to anyone VIII ohas spent a
day on the river with the army en-
gineers, and has seen the Missouri
eating way at corn field with
wicked energy, swallowing up earth

ally had personality, mad an outlaw
one at that And while carrying away
farm land from one bank, some
where else is it equally busy, piline
up sand, mud and driftwood, making
land out of what was river few
days before. Then. too. the river has
habit of occasionally clogging its
own channel, building sand bars sc
long and so high that 1t must needs
become broad and shallow in order
to continue its restless course.
1t is a constant struggle, but IL II
not a hopeless one, and the engineers
point with measure of justified
pride to those places along the
stream where they have built dikes
which resulted in the making o.
land; to the concave bends where re
vetments have stopped the rivel
from cutting it's bank. Given dixie
on one side and a revetment on tht
other, and constant diligence, SO thai
small breaks may be repaired before
they become serious, the river engi
neers say they can keep the stream
fairly well anchored.

FARMERS ENEMY
Is AT WORK
REPORT BRAN BUG HAS AP.
PEARED IN SOME SEED
GRAIN.

Brookings, Nov. 2S.-"Bran bugs
have been found in much of the seed
grain which is being held on the farm
for next springs seeding" stated A.
l.. Ford, extension entomologist at
State college. These insects, al
though capable of injuring the ger
mniation of the grain since they feed
on the germ, have done little dam
age in South Dakota thus far. Eff
forts should be directed towards
keeping thsi damage as low as possi-
BILE.
First, determine if the grain is
infested by screening little of it
through piece of ordinary window
screening. After warming up the
screening, the insects can be readily
seen If present. The light colored
book-lice and mites should not be
considered, as they are practically
harmless.
'If infested with bran bugs, the
grain should be run through a fan
ming mill on cold day, since below

dormant and can be removed the
same as is foreign matter in the
grain The screenings from infested
grain should be either Immediately
fed or burned. Do not clean on a
warm day as the insects are then ac-
tive and many Of them win 60
through with the grain. BY removing
the pests in this manner this fall, all
chances for further damage during
any possible warm spells this winter
will be eliminated. AS long as the
temperature remains low these in
sects will not work or multiply.
"In case seed grain has been heav-
lily infested, it would be wise to run
termination test before planting in
the spring. If the termination is
found to have been lowered 1t can be
corrected by increasing the rate oi
seeding per acre"

EXPLAINS WORK
RAILWAY BOARD
RATE EXPERT TELLS CONNER
CIAL CLUB SECRETARIES OF
FREIGHT RATE PROBLEMS.

Mitchell, Nov 28.-It will be a
matter of years to secure a restora-
tion of normal conditions in trans
portation matters and rates. This
was the assertion of ID. l.. Kelley
rate expert of the South Dakota
board of railway comissioners, in ad-
dressing the winter meeting of the
South Dakota Commercial Secretar-
les association, which opened here
today and concludes tomorrow after
noon.
Compared with normal times, "
Mr.. Kelley said in speaking of the
commissions work, "our rates are
high In many instances, but we are
trying and hoping to get substantial
reductions as soon as such action can
properly be taken
Mr.. Kelley outlined the freight
rate situation from the beginning OF
the war, when the federal govern
ment took over the railroads through
all the various steps, up until the
present time. He told the secretar-
les of the various advances made by
the railroad administration and OF
the more recent ones since the roads
were returned to private ownership
He explained the various efforts
made by the several state railway
commissions, the South Dakota com
mission in particular, and the results
which they have accomplished in the
way of affording relief to- the ship
pers.
Although the state railroad COM
missions may have been deprived OF
some of their authority with respect
to intrastate matters" he declared
they are still, either singly or thru
their national association, the most
powerful convenient, direct and eff
fective protection that the shippers
of the country and the public as q
whole has today"
AS an example of what the South
Dakota commission has saved the
state, Mr.. Kelley told the secretarie:
that "the consumers of South Dakots
are the only ones in the United States
who did not have their intrastatt
freight rates on all commodities in
creased 35 per cent to harmonic
with the general interstate increase
either through the action of th'
state boards, or through orders o
the interstate commerce commission
in all cases where the state board die
not act favorably."
"At some time in the future" thu
speaker continued, 1--WE will undoubt
edly have to defend our course of &C
tion before the interstate commerce
commission"
Mr.. Kelley took up in detail thu
work of the various departments o
the state railroad commission, thei
purpose and the commission befor'
the interstate tribunal and pledged
the honest efforts of the board t
secure further relief to state ship
pers as soon as is possible.

New York Council

New York, Nov. 28.-The seats of
the city fathers will be dwarfed by
comparison to Lilliputian size when
Frank J. Dotzler, republican alder
man-elect from the Sixth district, ar
rives with his specially constructed
furniture next January /. Dotzler
lists his weight in round numbers at
400, pounds, and finds it necessary to
take with him his own private chair,
which has seating capacity OF one
square yard. The city had the chair
built for him several years ago
when, upon his election to the board
of aldermen, it was discovered that
he could not squeeze into the regular
seats. Dotzler bought it for 81 when
he retired. because the city was short
of storage space.

CONVENTION To-
VERY SPIRITED
SEVERAL OFFICES ON REPUBLI-
CAN TICKET HAVE OPPOSING
CANDIDATES In FIELD.

Pierre, Nov. 2S.-As the time
draws nearer for the holding of the
state convention, known under the
present primary law as the state pro-
posal meeting, the principal features
of the discussion in the state press
the past week has been the probable
candidacy of George W. Egan as an
independent republican candidate for
governor, and the probable candi-
dacy for governor, and the probable
candidacy of Harry Candy, former
congressman from the third district,
as the democratic choice for COVER
nor.
Egan has not yet announced that
he will be in the game, but that has
been his ambition for long time,
and the probabilities are that he will
be again before the people asking
for the nomination for governor at
the March primaries, as an independ-
ent candidate on the ballot.
Harry Candy, who was for num-
Der of years the congressional repre-
sentative from the third district, has
in an interview at Rapid City stated
that he is not seeking the nomination
of his party for the governorship
nor any other position. But there is
very little possibility that he would
decline the nomination for the gov
ernorship If 1t is rendered to him by
the representatives of his party al
the meeting Dec. 6 Hhe is one OF
the men that party can rally around
and his is the first prominent, name
put forward for the honor.
The contents of the meeting are
likely to be for the positions of at
torney general, secretary of state
auditor and head of the educationa'
department.
1t is certain the women will come
to the meeting with a candidate for
the latter place, and several are be-
ing considered as possibilities in that
line, but up to the present time only
one, Grace Reed Porter, of Mitchell,
has expressed herself as anxious to
secure the place.
Several counties have passed reso-
luton against continuing any man
in office for more than two terms,
which, if pushed, might affect the
positions OF secretary OF state, the
department of education and the
state land department, but this is vel
an uncertain quantity, to be reckoned
with and the lines drawn when the
delegates begin to gather and to talk
over possibilities.
No contests on the nominations
for governor or lieutenant-governor
are probable, and the probabilities
are that Governor McMaster ant
Lieutenant Governor Gunderson will
have NO opposition when the dele
gates gather.
The state chairmanship appears u
have settled down to a contest be
tween George Wright and Charles
Kelly, both of Huron, and that on
of these men will be chosen appears
to be very likely.
While w. C. Cook has not in an!
way intimated that he will change hi
position as to resignation as nationa
committeeman, the contest for tha
place appears to be just as warm a.
if he had stepped out, and w. +
Milligan, of Aberdeen, and p. w
Milligan, of Aberdeen, and p. w
lDougherty, of Webster, are battling
for the honor, regardless of tn
statements that the national commit
tee would not recognize the Soutl
Dakota law on that question, even
selection is made.
