SIOUX Falls Press: The last issue Of
the Howard Methodist, a little sheet
published by Pastor La yiolette OF
the Methodist church at Howard.
contains sort of unconsciously most
eioqueEt testimony as to the develop
ment which South Dakota is eniov-
Ing this year. Easter Sunday was de-
voted in the Methodist churches Of
the Mitchell district to taking a mis-
slonary collection, and the mount
expected from each congregation was
apportioned by Presiding Elder Clark,
BASED upon what his experience had
led him to believe would be within
their abilities. But the reports from
the various charges astounded the ell
der by surprising anything that had
been expected. Howard led the race
by raising two and half times its ap-
portionment. Dell Rapids swelled its
contribution from $50 to 500. Aber-
deem raised $500. Woonsocket was
asked for $40 and sent $50. Fulton
nearly doubled her former amount.
Mitchell broke her old record. Salem
and Plankinton and Scotland and
Parkston and Artesian and Kimball
did likewise. In some charges the
society was burdened with church
improvements, but the congregations
nevertheless surpassed the demands
made upon them for the Easter mis-,
sionary collection. All this indicates
how the people of the different sec
tions are prospecting. In several O.
the localities which have made sucl
admirable records and surpassed al
expectations, there was only a few
years ago a feeling in the sam,
churches that, instead of raisin,
funds to send away, they must hav'
funds sent to them from the outsid'
in order to maintain public worship
A new era has dawned. The peOpl
Of South Dakota are enjoying the be
ginning Of a day of glorious prosper
ity.

for North Dakota.
Jamestown Alert: Alexander Nc
Kenzie is at Bismarck letting con-
tracts for painting, repairing and
otherwise improving his residence
property there. He has about $780,
O00 worth of land and other taxable
property in the state, and great deal
of it at and nea Bismarck. The
completion Of the capitol building
will be, in his opinion, a reasonable
and just proceeding on the part of the
state. Mr.. Mckenzie is going to the
Pacific coast in a short time to look
after some Of the numerous business
speculations which he has become in
terested in during the last few years.
1t is understood that he has made a
big timber land investment on the
Puget Sound which promises to de-
velop large results at no very late day,
as the lumber supply of the Northern
states will be about exhausted within
the next decade and the market will
be sucn that western lumber can be
shipped east at o profit.
Speaking of politics. Mr.. Mckenzie
predicts that the Democratic admin
istration will not succeed in reaching
the high standard Of craftsmanship
which the American people require;
that the South is and will be Dem
ocratic for many years; that the pro-
posed tariff changes will not give the
relief promised; and the almost GER
tain silver legislation Of the majority
Notwithstanding Cleveland's views
will convince the north that the
Republicans have the most claims tC
the popular favor and confidence OF
the great business interests OF the
country. He believes that at the next
election the Republican party will bt

North Dakota. He says he did what
he could to elect a Republican to the
senate, and because this was not done
is the fault Of the Republicans wht
voted for a Democrat. He does moi
believe those Republicans u TIT
party or represent its interests in TIM
state. or that they are now entitled
to speak for the Republicans OF tn
state: also that this fact will be forci
bly impressed on their minds in tn
future.

Beyond Its Infancy.

Madison Leader: Farmers all over
the state are generally becoming
owners of large focks Of sheep, and
their flocks are the envy of the East
ern sheep raisers. w. G.. Mead, a
farmer of Sphinx county, says that in
the last fourteen days 63 of his sheep
have had 127 lambs, making a total OF
2O2 lambs and sheep. Some OF the
lambs weighed at birth eleven and
twelve pounds, and next Christmas,
when fat, will bring from $3.50 to 80
per head. The wool will bring about
81 per head for the ewes. lie mas
100 more to lamb yet, and has lost
% lambs, and part Of these through
carelessness. The sheep raising IN
dustry is now beyond its infancy IN
South Dakota, and the success OF
those who are now owners OF large
aocks will induce hundreds of farmers
who now W but few sheep to invest
larger sums Of money IN Ihi'
industry.

which shows that during the month
of March l25 cars of immigrants and
immigrant goods were handled by the
roads centering there. Reports re-

show that never before in the history
of the state, not ever ten years ago,
was there such a rush Of people who
come to buy land and settle. The
