Pierre Capital: Chris Jensen Of
Rapid City proposes to start stage line
from there to Pierre and make the run
in two days by relays about every ten
miles, and begin August l. Such line
is needed because OF the qaickness OF
the trip. Pierre will thus be aided in
business ways until the railroad is built
across the reservation. We commend
Mr.. Jensen's enterprise and say that his
coaches drawn by four fine horses on the
run, which we understand will be his
manner of going, will give perfect salts
faction, and receive extensive patronage.
The distance of 160 miles between Pierre
and Rapid covered at the rate OF from
eight to ten miles an hour by easy rid
ing coaches is a move to encourage.
Mr.. Jensen owns large number of fine
horses and palatial coaches and viii try
to please the public in every way. We
are anxious to see his line in operation,
inasmuch as there is mail line estab-
lished between Pierre and the Cheyenne
river crossing at Smithville and con-

A Race to the Springs.

The division superintendent of the
two great railways running into Dead
wood tested the speed of their respective
lines Sunday morning in making the run
with the excursion trains from the city
above named to Hot Springs. Six
o'clock was the hour announced for the
departure OF trains, and the B. & M.
left on time with double header at
tached to four coaches, but the f. e. &
M. V. was detained until 6 :34 waiting
for the Deadwood Central, which carried
the Greys down from Lead. The latter
train could not reach Deadwood until
the B. & M. passed Pluma, the first
station out from the city. AT 6:34 how
ever. the Elkhorn steamed down White
wood, with five coaches drawn by loco
motive 203, the engineer having blood
in his eye and the fireman the coal
shovel in his hand. Now, that train few,
attaining speed of over sixty miles an
hour in several instances, and although
it was laid out nearly fifteen minutes by
the King & Franklin circus train, it
made the run to the Springs in three
hours and ten minutes, distance OF 1O7
miles. This includes all stops at inter
mediate stations and water tanks.
Neatly 800 people came in by this route.
The train was in charge of Conductor
J. Ell. Culavin, a gentleman who thor
oughly understands how to handle an
excursion fyer-or any other train.
George @. Parker, one of the most eau
tious engineers on the road, operated the
wheeler, and if you want to "C.''

pressure steam, drop into the cab of 20a
and gaze upon Mr.. Stem, who furnished
the power upon this occasion. The time
made was a great card for the Elkhorr
folks and their friends congratulated
them.
The B. & M. pulled into the Springs
at 1870, having made the run of ZOE
miles in four and one-half hours. T. A
OConner brought in the Burlington
which was pulled by @. F. Brundage
engineer, and j. 8. Canning, fireman

their respective cailings. Over 200 ex

Boston Advertiser: The new law in
Massachusetts allowing each citizen two
sprees a year without penalties, but i'm
prisoning all who exceed this limit, went
into effect Wednesday. On that day
comparatively few drunks were reported.
The test of the measure comes today.
If the GLORIOUS Fourth is not an up
roarious Fourth the law is demon
strated success.
The general prediction, however, is
that the law cannot stand. It puts too
high premium upon preyarication. II
the prisoner persuades the station officer
that he has not had his years allowance
Of arrests he is discharged. It makes
the privileges of strangers, too, much
greater than those OF residents. The
existing privileges Of strangers do not
need to be extended. Finally it treats
as no offense what certainly is an offense.
Not everybody says: Beware of the
first drink" but everybody does say:
"Beware of the first drunk" A law
which imposes no penalty whatever for
an acknowledged wrong is not strictly in
accordance with the principles of justice.
Nevertheless we are in sympathy with
the spirit OF the new measure, and be-
lieye that some of its provisions are not
only bound to stand in Massachusetts,
but be accepted in other states. The
sharp distinction it makes between men
occasionally drunk and ''rounders' ID
valid and necessary. The former should
be released as promptly as possible to
resume their work. The latter should
be imprisoned as long as necessary tc
prevent their resuming their carousals
The object OF all punishment is the pro,
lection of the public and the reformation
of the offender. Neither, OF these OBJ
jects can be attained il hard working
men are imprisoned as il they were ha
bitual drinkers, OF. habitual drunkardl
released as il they were hard working
men.
Tn another respect the law is good
It abolishes the system Of fines. It j
the disgrace Of our jurisprudence that
in spite Of our boasted equality befor,
the Iaws,'' It Is next to impossible i
punish any man Of means for any Grim
be may commit. The complete remoya
of this abuse is impossible 20 long 90 th
laws delay remains what it il, and th
y public il ever ready to bear the costa

BOYS. EDUCATE YOURSELVES.

The following brief but pointed edi-
torial from the Pierre Capital ID very
suggestive Of the necessity sof young
men fitting themselves for great respon-
sibilities and lucrative positions:
'sThe death Of so many noted men this
year is forcible reminder OF the fact
that room is being made at the top for
the young men who have prepared them
selves for such responsibilities. We often
wonder who will take the place of an
eminent man when he dies, but some one
is always ready. Don't lose any sleep
on this point. II you are thinking Of
great things prepare thoroughly. Your
opportunity will come and find you
ready. You will be needed somewhere.
Do no doubt this fact. Do not envy
your successful brother. He has earned
his success and is entitled to it. Re-
sponsible positions are held by men who
spent years OF study and work preparing
themselves. There is no other way to
the top. There is no other path by
which you can climb up and stand where
Lincoln, Grant. Sherman, Beecher and
Bancroft stood, or where Mckinley,
Clarkson, Blaine, Edison, Gladstone,
Pasteur, Koch, Ingersoll and Bismarck
now stand. Don't depend on luck. 1t
is an unknown quantity whose value,
when found, is zero. Young men, re-
member that ambition and success may
be separated by an impossible gulf. To
ambition must be added brains and
much hard work before you can hope to
fill any of the places left vacant by the
eminent men who are SO rapidly pass
ing on"

great lake region and those of the Miss
issippi and Missouri valleys should be-
come interested il burning that arid
country into . regionof bountiful rain
| falls.
The principal portion OF the moisture
that goes to make up the rainfalls Of the
region Of the great lakes and the upper
Missouri and Mississippi valleys must
come from the Gulf of Mexico, and in
order to reach the storm centers, as they
come from the Pacific coast, that moist
ure must pass over the arid district. In
July and August the sun beaming down
on the sandy soil of the plains, heats il
very hot, and the hot air rising from it
dissipates the moisture moving inland
from the gulf and which would 60 into
the storm centers were it not for the heat
OF these plains. In order to cause rain
the moisture must enter the storm CEN
ters near the earth, and when the heated
air OF the plains drives the moisture to
high attitudes il encounters the upper
currents of air that are returning toward
the Gulf of Mexico, and thus the storm
centers are robbed OF the necessary
moisture which would otherwise cause
rains in the western states and territories
and the middle states west OF the Ale
ghenies.
II trees could be made to grow on the
arid plains, and were literally cultivated,
they would break the effect of the sun ON
the sandy soil. thereby preventing the
rising hot currents OF air which dissi-
pates and drives the moisture back to
the gulf.
But trees will not grow without water,
and in the hot months large scopes of
country in the arid districts are destitute
of water and the only way TO obtain a
sure supply is by irrigation and this is
of such vast Importance to very large
portion of the United States that the
national government ought to aid in the
matter.
In Colorado where irrigation is already
we'll perfected the people do not want
rain for it often Injuries their crops, but
they are probably shortsighted in one
particular. The timber is being rapidly
destroyed in the Rocky mountains and il
this is permitted to continue the mount
ain streams will soon fail to furnish
water for irrigation during the hot
months. Large tracts OF these mountain
lands belong TO the government, and il
the timber could be protected and reser-
voirs made to retain some OF the water
that runs to waste in the spring months,
all the arid districts coui6 be well irri-
gated and a growth of trees secured on
the plains.
But this cannot be accomplished by
the mountain states and territories alone,
and little investigation will convince
the greater portion of the states that it is
the duty of the general government to
give liberal aid to irrigation. This ac-
complished and the occasional drouths
in the more fertile states will become less
frequent and less severe.
