Cherokee nation, was here awhile ago, and

Decidedly, yes," replied. Here he

"Happy to meet you, Mr.. Van Wyck.

governor of the Indian territory, and one
of the very rich men Of that enlightened
and prosperous region.
"And are all the Indians in your tribe as
civilized as yourself?' inquird Van Wyck.
"Oh, yes
'sDo You all live in tents and wigwams?"
Certainly. Here is picture of my own

And the chief drew from the
inside pocket of his coat a photo

GOV. MELLETTE'S SAY,
SOUTH DAKoTA's FIRST GOVERNOR;
ADDRESSES THE LEGISLATURE.

A Business Like Document Which Deals
in Cold Facts-Economy the Watchword
Get Through Early and Adjourn-The
Document.
Geptlsmen of the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: The constitution of the state
makes 1t the duty Of the executive to communi-
cate to you upon assembling information of the
condition OF the state and such recommends
tions as he may deem expedient.
Finances.
The condition OF the states finances is
deemed of first Importance rs q basis OF legisla-
tion, and the reports OF the late territorial
for your information.
From these it will be seen that at date Of ad-
mission into the union the financial condition
OF the state Was as follows, to-wit:
The bonded Indebtedness was $4,000, Of
which amount $116,t 90 bears interest at per
cent per annum, $125,oo0 at the rate of per
cent, $3171 at AZ per cent, and the remaind-
or, $l52 800 at the rate of per cent.
There was also outstanding Nov. 4, an tndebt-
edness Of the territory to the amount of $780, 900
evidenced by three funding warrants, Of which
South Uakota owes $4,000.
By the erms of the agreement male by the
joint commission of the constitutional conven-
ton, South Dakota must pay North Dakota
BAG, 500 on account of the difference in adjust
ment OF accounts up to March g. 1880 then since
that date South Dakota has overdrawn it's ac-
count to q considerable extent, SO that by the
provisions of the agreement of such joint COM
mission when the Anal adjustment is made, it
Ia probable that South Dakota will have to pay
on final settlement of these three items $150,000
The $77, 500 per cent bonds for insane hos
pital at Yankton and the $4,000 per cent.
bonds for penitentiary at Sioux Falls were re-
funded at 4 per cent. rate by Hon. j. M. Bailey,
jr., the late territorial treasurer, and in addi-
tion q premium of $5,375 was realized to the
state, which amount, according to notice from
Mr. Bailey, awaits in his hands instruction as
to is disposition.
Total sum received by the state treasurer was
$S4, AL 49, of which 1913, 407. 10 is in bond funds
and not available for the general PURPOSES of the
government, and $46,034.23 in general fund,
bond interest fund and stock indemnity fund.
The late territorial auditor, Hon. J. G. Me-
Mamma, kindly submitted the following esti-
mate of the expenses and receipts of the state
for one year under present expenditures to-wit

An Enlargement.

A large force of hands will be put TO
work tomorrow morning in the West
End laying track on the new West
End yard OF the Norfolk and Wesc-
ern railroad. The ties have already
been distributed. When the work Is
completed the company will have
four miles of additional side track
and this will hardly be enough to ac-
eommodate the great rush that is
now being made. The West End yard
is packed with ears from one weeks
end to the next and the yard masters
are kept hustling to keep from having

Stewart sent out ten trains west by )
o'clock and it hardly seemed to dim
inish the number of cars any. One OF
the longest trains that has been sent
out from Roanoke for a long time
left here yesterday. 1t contained
eighty cars and was pulled by two
locomotives. The new yard facilities
were badly needed.

AS AN EXAMPLE.
HOW Roanoke is Regarded by the
Outside World.

The Roanoke TIMES states that the
new assessment in that city will show
that the value Of real estate has III
creased since 1885 from one million to
six million dollars-an average OF q
million dollars year. This is proba-
bly, the most rapid increase of taxable
values ever shown in one locality in
the State during q similar period, and
emphasizes in u marked manner the
views that we have always enter
tained-that Nirginias greatest prom
Use for growth and influence lies in
the direction OF manufacturing. The
prices OF her farming products have
been hammered down, so to speak, by
reason OF Western competition, but
she has natural elements of wealth in
greater profusion. perhaps, than any
other State in the Union, the develop
ment of which, entered upon during
the past ten years. is causing results
in various localities similar to those
which have been produced at Roam
oke. The farming lands ofour State,
il is said, will show no material in
crease in value by the new assess
ment, the principal increase occurring
in the cities. towns and villages.
Such lands, however. will become
more valuable as the centres OF in
dustry increase, for the reason that
their products will be required to
meet the demand occasioned by the
growth ofindustrial communities :.
If Massachusetts,, with sterile soil
and no natural advantages, can lead
most of the States in manufacturing,
what is not possible in Virginia, where
the raw material in the greatest pro-
fusion is to be found in her forests,
mountains and valleys? Roanoke and
other industrial communities in the
State are answering the question, and
their answer should serve to stimulate
like effort in every portion OF the
Commonwealth, especially here in
Norfolk. where the advantages of
competitive rates are en-. Dyed ia
their fullest extent.-NOrfolli Public
Ledger.

Worcester West Chronicle, descrip-
tive OF the trip:

With pleasant remembrance OF for
mer visits to Virginia and Washing
ton, via the Merchants and Miners
steamboat line from Boston to Nor
folk, Va, we accepted the induce
ments offered by the Suburban Press
Association of New England to join
it's excursion, which left Boston May
"A. for tour through"Old Virginia. y
We sailed from Boston on Saturday
afternoon about o'clock on the ele-
CANT iron steamship, dorchester, v
the largest, fastest and latest boat
added to the Compapy's line of ocean
steamers, and arrived at Norfolk, Va,
Tuesday morning about 7 O'Clock. five
hours ahead OF schedule time. The
passage was u delightful one, the wa.
ter being comparatively smooth. But
few were much seasick and those who
feared they might be and kept out of
sight Saturday evening were ION
deck" Sunday Among the company
were number of fnosingers, and the
frequent rendering of gospel hymns
and other appropriate pieces for the
day and the occasion, added much to
the pleasure of the voyage. Sunday
many of the company for the iirst
time saw the SUI and moon rise and
set at sea, which is Il novel sight
when witnessed for the first time,
while out of sight of land. Numer-
Gus porpoises and small whale were
also eagerly looked upon and an oc-
casional passing vessel broke the mo-
notony of gazing upon the vast ocean.
At an early hour Monday morning
the scene was changed we had en-
tered Chesapeake Bay, and all were
eager to see the numerous points
made famous during the Revolution
airy war and that of the Rebellion.

and the company is now on IL most
substantial basis, and with plenty Of
money at it's back to push the road tc

ago voted a subscription of $4,000
to the road, and the people OF that

prospect, as indeed they are all along
the line, from Winston. N. c., to this

As stated few days ago by the
TIMES the recent law enacted by the
legislature in regard TO the assess
ment will hardly have any effect
upon the appropriation of $4,000 to
be given by this city as the road can
not require the delivery of any bonds
before 1891 and these will not bear in.
