The following report or State Treasurer
Stuofcr for tho month of October was given
to the public today:
I think It quite proper to preface this
month's statement with tho followlnc quo
tation from former Htntc Treasurer Me
nerve's luHt biennial report:
"I called attention In my last report to
the great dltlluulty In the future to Invest
thn educational funds under our present
law, and unless means are taken to amend
the constitution so that wo can buy other
securities than ure now allowed by law it
will become harder "every year to keep
these funds Invented."
t heartily Indorse this statement of n too
little known fact, oa I have, by practical
experience, demonstrated its 'truthfulness.
Kvor since assuming (he. duties ot this
ortlci' up to thtf present hour J have used
nil honorable means ' within my power to
Invest tho educational funds In Interest
bearing securities. In which efforts I have'
been ably nsslsted by the Hoard of Bduca
tlonal Lands and Fund. Lest some unsus
pecting people bo hoodwinked Into believ
ing that our efforts In this direction data
no farther bnck than the lato republican
ritato convention 1 dctdro to call attention
to the following facts of record:
Tho Investments of educational funds In
'tho month of May amounted to $116,620.07;
Juno. S152.242.27: July. $165,630.10. These In
vestments wcro made prior to the meeting
of the convention nnd are much larger
than tno investments ror tsepiemner, tna
first full month since tho convention met.
Tho Investments for this mouth are swcllod
by tho delivery of $129,000 In bonds, the
negotiations for which have been In prog
ress fur about three months. The total
ntnount Invested beforo the meeting: of tho
convention was $750,280.66, which Is $71,370.90
greater than tho entire Investment for the
yenr im uy my preueceasor.
Kireetln Other Investments
Uy the willing and efficient aid or the
educational board In conjunction with my
own unceasing efforts wo have succecdVd
during tho ten months of this administra
tion in investing educational funds to the
mnKHiltcent amount ot $1,033,066.69. This
mi tar exceeds any Investment of educa
tional funds In the same length of tlmo In
the past history of thn state ns to place It
In a separate cIubb entirely by Itself, This
result could not have been accomplished
except uy l-uiibiuiii vikiiuiico ana unr
mil tins attention to business. Cnmnnrl
,on uro Bald to be odious, but they- are
ine most enectivu inuiiiuu in presenting re
Bint in h manner to bo easily comnro
bended. Trust fund investments for thn
llrcl ten months of llwo amounted to S6UC,
143.66. being $47623.03 less than the Invest
ments this year for n liko nerlod of time.
The Investments for the first ten mouths
of 1899 amounted to $564,229.79, or $518,736.90
less than tho Investments this year. The
comparatively smau amount or invest
menis during tho last term or tho lata ad
ministration could not possibly have been
tor luck of funds, for the dally averagn
trust fund bulunce for tho entire term

DUTCH BANKERS WILLING TO FUND THEM
Same Hollanders Who Invested

Are Said to He Itendy for
this Undertaking.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. 31. (Special.)
A gigantic colonization Echeme for southern
Wyoming has been undertaken and If plans
already formulated arc carried out this
state will add to Its population during the
next year over 5,000 people. Wealthy
bankers nnd financiers of. Holland, men
who a few years ago secured a controlling
Interest In the Union Pacific railroad, are
back of the project and If plenty of capital
will aid In carrying out the plans the colony
Is already assured.
F. L. Grubb of tho Union Pacific has
chargo of the arrangements and he will
shortly visit tbo state to transact business
connected with tho segregation ot a tract
of land for the colony. This land is situ
ated In Swtetwater county, In the valley
of Green rUer, and comprises over 300,000
acres.
It is proposed to colnnlzo this large tract
of land with Holland farmers and Doers
from South Africa. Transportation Is to be
furnished by the Union Pacific railroad,
which passes through the center of the
land to be colonized, and the Holland
bankers are to purchase tho land and allot
It to the settlers In blocks ot eighty acres
to tho family.
A huge canal will be taken from Green
river, -Which carries moro than enough
water, and this will carry water to the
colony. The farmers will raise wheat, oats,
potatoes, etc., but the growing of sugar
beets will be encouraged by the promoters
of the colony. A market and good prices
will bo guaranteed the settlers and a mon
ster sugar factory will bo built In the
colony to handle the boets raised.
The promoters of the project have been
selecting the prospective colonists In South
Africa and In Holland and as soon as tltlo
to the land has becu secured, surveys for
Che big canal and ditches made and right
to the water obtained, a largo number ot
Dutch will be brought to Wyoming and put
to work constructing the canal and Irriga
tion works.
Tbo Holland bankers, who will furnish
tho money necessary to reclaim this large
tract and establish farms, nre perfectly fa
miliar with Wyoming, for their representa
tives recently visited this section and In
vestigated the feasibility of the scheme.
It Is asserted that during the next tew
years there will bo a heavy Influx of Boers
and Holland Dutch to this section. Ageuts
of the Boers have been In correspondence
with the nromoters of several colonies In
Wyoming and It Is expected that thore will
be several movements of Dutch farmers to
tho valleys of this stato In the spring. Tho
sections that will receive the new settlers
arc Wheatland, tho Big Horn basin and
Uinta and Sweetwater counties.

SIOUX FALLS FIGHTS RATES
Jtbbm' AiiooiatioB Statu Two Ipjnnotion
Buita SimnlUitauily.
NORTHWESTERN AND OMAHA MUST DEFEND
It la Their Proposed .. ithdrawal of
Terminal Itates, PreTlnnsly Agreed
On, that Stirs the Dakota
Town.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 31. (Special
Telegram.) C. O. Bailey, special altornoy
for the Sioux Falls Jobbers' association,
between 6 and 6 o'clock this afternoon filed
simultaneously In tho United States and
stato circuit courts suits asking that In
junctions be Issued restraining the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis Omaha and the
Chicago & Northwestern railroads from
withdrawing the terminal rates now en-
Joined' In accordance with an agreement
entered Into tn 1890.
Under this agreement the cities of Sioux
Falls, Aberdeen, Watertown aud Sioux City
were mado terminal or distributing points
and terminal or distributing rates wcro
established for tho carriago of merchan
dise. Tho complaints In tho two cases
allege that the defendant railroads are
threatening to cancel these terminal or
distributing rates and place In effect so
called dlstanco tariff, which wilt apply
only to South Dakota. It Is alleged to be
the purposo of tho rallroadB to rotaln the
terminal rates at Sioux City. This, the
complaints say, would result tn great In
Jury being dono to tho Jobbers ot Sioux
Falls.
The new rates were to have .gone Into
effect tomorrow. Judgo Carland of tho
United States court has Issued a temporary
restraining order and fixed November 8 as
the time for tho defendnnt railroads to ap
pear and show cnuso why tho Injunction
should not become- permanent. Judge Jones
of the state circuit court also Issued a re
straining" order and fixed November 9 as
the time for similar proceedings In his
court.
History of the Trouble.
When the railroad commissioners met Jn
Chicago with the traffic managers of tho
various lines It was generally talked that
tho terminal distributing tariffs which had
for years been granted to the threo towns
named, and which put tho Jobbers ot thoso
towns on an equality with Jobbing centers
outsldo the state, should bo taken out. It
was agreed that the Milwaukee road should
take the initiative and tho other lines
agreed to follow the Milwaukee's lead.
The now schedules havo now been re
ceived. The Milwaukee, as agreed, took
out tho terminal tariff from Sioux Falls,
but it also took that from Sioux City and
placed both towns upon the South Dakota
distance tariff basis. This Is considered
hero to be fair to both.
But tho Northwestern and the Great
Northesn roads took out the distance tariff
from this point, but loft It in Sioux City.
It Is estimated here that as a result Sioux
City, although twice as far away as Sioux
Falls, will bo able to lay down freight In
many towns In South Dakota for less
money than Sioux Falls.
The Jobbers In this city as soon aa tho
new tariffs were received held a meeting
and decided to resist tho new schedule In
the courts.
Tho action of the Jobbers ts based
upon two propositions. First, the Jobbers
contend that tho old rates were manifestly
fair since tho ronds voluntarily put thorn
into effect several years ago and main
tained them' through hard times, and when
tho Jobbing business in South Dakota was
small. Consequently, now that times are
good and the Jobbing business has grown
to considerable proportions, there can be
no reasonable excuso for raising them.
Second, they contend that to withdraw the
terminal rates from Sioux Falls while al
lowing them to remain for Sioux City is a
gross discrimination contrary to law and
la In effect charging more for a short haul
than for a long ono.
Iu tho meantime tho Board of Railroad
Commissioners has refused to drop the ap
peal In the famous rato case, pending tho
outcome of the present controversy.
