Spearfsh has been a little slow in
uniting with the other towns of the
Hills in the effort to advertise our great
resources through the medium of the
Improvement Association recently or
ganized at Deadwood. and the Register of
that place in commenting upon tho tardy
movement of tho citizens in this direc-
tion, says: "Spearfsh has had the re-
putation of being the best next sum-
mer' town in the Hills for many years
past, but from present indications some
move forward will be made in the near
future, possibly next summer and our
citizens should present an appearance
in these matters that would not make u

take two years to arm all the regular
soldiers, and new militia companies
cannot be armed until after that time.
