If there are any skeptlcs among our
older citizens who may be inclined to
think the Cheyenne Lake scheme, in
which our townsman Mr.. Baldwin is
taking so much interest. is visiona. Y
and impracticable, We want to
call to the memory the fact that
away along in the seventies Mr..
Baldwin actively advocated the idea
of building railroad through the
north part of the county. practically
the road that was eventually built by
the Missouri Pacific, and which has
been large benefit to a great many
Barton county farmers. The Lake
scheme is not visionary; it will one day
be practical certainty.

Charlie Evans left home Saturday
evening. telling his parents he was
going to Clafin to spend Sunday. 1t
later developed that he had packed all
his good clothes in a grip and had
taken the Santa Fe for some point in
Colorado, in company with Lee Johns.
There are several business men about
town with whom he failed to make
honorable arrangements. 1t is a
shame that any young man will thus
deliberately cast shadow over all his
future life, and cause the hearts OF
loving ones to ache. He was always
taught to be honest and upright, and
will some day bitterly regret the step
he has been doubtless led to take by
worthless companions.

FILLING UP.

Twelveto fifteen months ago there we're
in the neighborhood Of 40 empty bust
ness and residence buildings in the town
OF Miller, as result Of business depres-
ion in this community following three
years poor CROPS. and vet Miller has
always been one Of the best towns OF her
class in the state. To day there Is source
ly an empty building to be found in the
town-nene, we beIieye, in condition for
occupancy. IL these conditions prevailed
and this Transformation has occurred all
over the state rs in Miller, there is cer-
tainly abundant evidence why capital is
again ready to invest here, And that
such 10 the case is plainly evident by pur-
chase of properties, general. raise in values
and new loans recorded upon farm and
city property.

NEW L1rE AND sHxxox.

The various successful entertainments

Inc and energy for which Miller and Hand

heard frequent expressions from visitor
regarding the sociability and general cor

our citizens. Where else can sach sen.

FINANCIAL srRAws

The various financial channels through
which commerce IL carried on shows de-
cided increase OF business In Hand Coun-
ty during 1892. Receipts and shipments
ct the railroads aud ex press Offices were
largely increased, as also were they at the
postofices.
As an evidence OF the volume OF bank
ing business. We are informed that ut
the end OF the year deposits largely ex-
ceeded those Of any other year In the
county's history; eorrob"rative of this
comes the reduction Of interest on time
deposits from per cent TO 6 per cent;
which is conclusive evidence both of the
increase Of capital, and decrease Of the
demand for loans.
Outside capital is seeking investment 10
South Dakota reality again. with COM
plete return of confidence; large sums
are being received upon the state school
fund. to be loaned out at per cent in
terest; the accumulation Of capital ut
home as shown by deposits is seeking IN.
vestment in properties and securities.
The natural consequence Of these
things 10 to cheapen the rate OF interest.
because the supply is growing create
than the demand, and to increase the
value Of property and securities. Hence
1t 10 but logical conclusion that interest
rates must. in compliance with the mex
orable law Of supply and demand, be low
cred.
Hand County warrants, is one means oi
inyestment sought. and they are readily
sold ut par. In this respect We believe
Hand is IN better condition than any
county adjoining her-as none OF ou'
neighhors can obtain 100 cents upon th'
dollar for their warrants. We have NJ
bonded debt. but have accumulated
considerable amount OF valuable proport
ALI Of which is Q matter Of congratul
alton 10 Hand county people.
