HURON, S. d., Jan. 25.-At least 100
good working girls can find pleasant
ilfd and permanent homes in private fam
lies at wages ranging from $3.50 TO s4
per week in Huron. Neighboring
K cities are equally short" on girls. and
two or three carloads could be readily
d1stributed in towns like Aberdeen,
Watertown, Sioux Falls, Mitchell, etc.
In short the cry comes up from every
quarter for girls for general house
work and the hired girl problem has
become question for serious consider
alton in these parts. The scarcity
prompted Hotelkeeper Dineen to address
letter to Father Brown, of ST. Vim
cents church, Springfield. setting forth
the facts above Indicated. The letter
was forwarded to Rev. Father Gala
CHAN, Of the Mission of Our, Lady of
the Rosary, New York, anu IN some
way fell into the hands of press cor
respondent and WAS sent broadcast
over the country, As Il result Mr. Di-
neen is besieged with letters of inquiry,
many of which are interesting reading.
they come from all parts Of the United
States, and are chiefly from women
anxious to better their condition. In
his letter Mr.. Dineen incidentally re-
d ferred to the fact that .'hlsbands in
South Dakota are as abundant as
blackberries in July" This reference
is touched upon by a considerable num-
Der of the fair writers as will be seen
by the following extracts from the vast
number of letters received:

divorced or otherwise. We are none of
ST. Joe's old maids, but young, sprightly
ana kind-hearted; capable of filling posi-
tions IN home md society circles and
would be pleased to consider correspond

sufficient to Justify the journey. Please
write facts in reply to this.
CH1cA6o-Papers today say u carload of
irish girls ase wanted in South Dakota

ourselves II this meets with u favorabl

for SouSh Dakota young men, write for
further particulars This city is overrun
with ladies of interchangeable age, few of
whom have any prospect of becom-
ing wives as so many young men
assured If what is said in the New York
dispatch would prove true. There need
be no hesitancy as to our personal appear
ance eorcapabilities. or Ii sufficient induce
ments are guaranteed our part of the con-
Z tract will be filed,

JERSEY CRY Factories here are
tlironged Will, girls who would be glad to
go W st and engage in other employment; !;
anything honorable and sufficiently re-
mnnerative to give them a comfortable
3, living. Not one, but half q dozen car
loads of splendid girls could be spared
from here and they would scarcely be
missed. They receive very small wages
md few of them have means enough to de-
n, hp ayr nf in.,v I,
to South Dakota, and should they be long
without employment after their arrival
they would doubtles become homesick
and discouraged Can you give us some
idea Us to wages there for servants We
are not half so anxious to obtain hus-
bands as 10 get good homes in private
families where we can be treated as human
4 beings. Could we reach there we have no
fear but we can rive satisfaction to those
employing us, But how shall we get to
South Dakota.
Among the letters are some from
men anxious to secure life partners of
theirioy and SORROWS and who will
share with them the comforts and dis
comforts of homes on South Dakotas
broad prairies One gentleman asks
that he be early advised of the arrival
of the ladies so that he may have first
choice. Another offers to pay "a por-
ton of the expense incurred in getting
the ladies hers, while still another is
willing to pay y fair premium for the
Y privilege of a early selection. If Mr.
Dinneen's mail continues to grow for
the next weok as it has for the past
few days he will be obliged to employ
\ o clerk to answer letters.
