Mr.. Bennett does not favor the move
nieb t for artificial rainmaking because
he already raises more crops than he
can dispose Of. Ii the subtreasury plan
were in force there would be no trouble
from inability to place crops on the
market. Instead OF rustling around
trying to borrow money at two per cent,
as many are now doing, while tbeiryears
products await a market, they could
store their crops in the government
warehouse and the certif;ca tos would
Immediately circulate as money.

There is widespread complaint on Elk
creek at inability OF patrons to receive
the's mail regularly upon call at the
Rapid City post office. Many say that
although applylngNonce week for their
man they are put OIL, and two and some
times even four weeks mail is delivered
atone time. The writer hereofalthough
Gaining 1or his mail at least three times
Weekly has had letters returned to the
writer marked unclaimed. " A weekly
paper is received frequently two weeks
behlndhand and he gets but little more
than one-half the numbers OF his daily.

Although reported wealthy he has no
commodious barn to catch the assassors
eye, but takes the great Chicago Daily
as he is not interested in Black Hills
affairs. He is a subscriber to the Record
as an cleemosynarY gift but never reads,
it, never heard of the BLACK HILLS
UNION or Home Stake company. Like
the wandering Arab he would like to
pitch his tent where the prospect OF
profit is greatest. AS MIR. Perley was
arduously engaged in fixing strawshcd
to protect "a Sl75 carriage from the
spring rains your reporter bade him
adieu and made his exit through a di-
lapidated barbed wire gate after much
vexatious delay in adjusting it.
