A BIG BUSINESS IN JUNE.
The Chamberlain Land Once Breaks A
Former Records.

The Chamberlain Land ONCE Breaks All
Former Records.
THE report made by the United States
Land Office Officials at Chamberlain
shows that during the month of June
2B filings were made by h~omesteaders
on lands in the coded Sioux country.
This report shows a steady increase
month by month since the LIST Of jan
uary, this year, and also shows that
the number Of filings made during June
was larger by twenty-seven than dur
ing any previous month in the history
of the land Office there. This makes
40, $50 acres of Uncle Sans land that
We're disposed of in this land district
during the month of June. Figuring
at the usual estimate of five to a family,
this would make an increase of $50 to
the population in this section during
the thirty days. Since the first Of
January 9l4 settlers have filed on land
in the country coded by the Sioux,
making q total increase of population
in this section since the first Of the
year Of 4,570.
AS there are eight other land Offices
in the state, it will be seen that there
has been q gratifying increase in the
population Of South Dakota this year.
AS the season grew later it was expect
ed by some that the number of new
settlers would decrease each month,
but exactly the reverse has been the
case. Since the first Of the year each
months filings have shown an increase
over the preceding month, and the set
tiers are still coming.
Not a day passes without a string of
prairie 'schOOners passing through
Chamberlain on their way over the pom
toon bridge to the coded Sioux lands ly-
ing west of the Missouri River. Most OF
these new settlers go upon claims with
the intention of remaining there, but
there are some who come and file and
then go back to their eastern homes,
where they have put in crops, it being
their intention to come to their new
farms to stay as soOn as harvest is
through with at their old homes. At
that time they will bring all their
worldly possessions with them, prepare
tory to locating permanently upon their
new farms and growing up with the
country.
AT the present rate Of increase it will
be but a few years until the vast and
fertile country west Of the Missouri
River in this state will TEEN with toll
ing tens OF thousands Of happy and con-
tented farmers; new towns will grow
up, and the development Of that sec
ton will add to the prosperity of the
entire Northwest.

the door behind them. The man was of
medium height and build, with a sandy
mustache. He was rather poorly dressed
and wore "A SLOUGH hat and was in ap
pearanoe not different from scores of men
who call upon Colonel Herrick daily.
Colonel HerriCk seated himself upon a
corner of the table that stands in the mid
die OF the trustees room. He was at the
corner next the door. The stranger passed

you, and the clerks in the banking house
Will think you are showing me the vaults"

STEEL POOL SMASHED.
The carneEiss Led the Unparalleled Cut
In Steel Rails.

PTTTSBUIC, Nov 1.-THE cutting on steel
rails is said to have been much greater
than supposed. Within a few DAYS the
MARYLAND Steel company accepted an order
Tor 1900 tons of rails, delivered on the line
II the Boston and Albany railroad, at 81
per ton, and within couple of days the
Carnegie Steel company has sold rails at
the phenomenally low price of S2l.9 at the
mill. This is slashing prices with ven
geance and is unparalleled in this branch
of the trade
The effect OF it has been the disruption
OF the pool that has been in existence for
the last four years
This combination has fallen to pieces
nearly in the same way and from the same
causes that the Beam trust did and in
consequence Of the action Of the same peo-
Pile
This condition OF affairs is due TO the in
ability of the rail manufacturers to agree
upon division of orders and on prices for
the trade here, There are nine plants in
this COMMUNICATING rails. For four years
past they have stood together in an agree
ment under which each mill received "A
certain pro rata allotment of the orders,
but an effort made this fall to continue the
pooling arrangement completely collapsed
