Thousands of trees and bushes, lad

dences of the success of this section
as fruit country. This cannot be
accomplished without work, but it
can and has been accom- plished with

will bring similar success to any
one who will try it. Without irri-
cation. this section of South Dakota
is failure as farming country.
In closing. we would call attention
to a common error made by many
who attempt fruit growing here.
They purchase nursery stock from
some firm thousand miles east or
south, plant them here in Totally diff
erent soil and climate from which
they got their start, and then eX-
pect them to grow and flourish.
Buy your trees at home. Buy the
varieties that have stood the test OF
our soil and climate and success will
come to you if your trees are prop
erly cared for. This country is nat
urally adapted to fruit culture. Use
it for that, but don t try to force it
to produce something which nature
rever intended it should produce and
then curse it, it's people and it's in
dustries because failure overlook

Off the. Reserve.

The recent order of Agent Couch
man in ordering all white men off
the Cheyenne River Indian Reserva-
tion created quite hustle along the
border says the Fort Pierre Journal.
For severel years white men who
have married Indian women and who
own large herds of cattle on the re-
serve, have employed cowboys to
care for their cattle The Indians
concluded tnat these people were in
truders and accordingly entered pro-
tests, knowing well that the order
would result favorable to them and
that these jobs would be within their
grasp.
This jealousy has existed for sew
eral years and it is probably better
all around that the order was carried
into effect. The order does not
effect white men married to Indians
or part blood women.
A singular instance came to our
notice the other day. August E.
Rich who has been on the reserve
for several years in the employ of
numerous parties and who was about
to be married to Miss Louise Mar
celie in a day or two, in fact was
about to go to the Agency for that
purpose when the order went into
effect. But On receipt of the order
he was obliged to take a boat and
together with his would-be bride
crossed the Cheyenne, came to Fort
Pierre, wes married and returned to
the reservati on. OF course this
fixed matters all right with him.
Rich says that the river was
pretty high and he had to swim his
horses across, but nevertheless he
didn t propose to allow the Indian
police to run a bluff on him.
Quite number of young men who
left town within the past month re-
turned during the past week and
will seek employment elsewhere.
The order will be enforced to the
letter, we understand: and some
,lardships will result, due to the fact
that stray cattle crossing the river
will have to be returned by paying
the 1ndians a liberal price for their
| work.

An Excellent COnpanv.

Leora Lane and her company OF
artists played to fair houses in Ranid
City on Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday evenings. While Miss Lane
and her company are practical
strangers to the theatre going peo-
pie OF this city, we do not hesitate
TO pronounce the aggregation as one
of the best that has ever visited the
Black Hills country. Miss Lane is
a grand woman one Of exceptional
ability-and DIS an emotional actress
her equal has never appeared before
a Rapid City audience. She is equal
ly strong in other roles and is the
soul and life Of any company with
which she appears. The company
introduces many new and striking
musical novelties and catchy 80 ,cial-
ties. The work OF Mr.. and Mr,
Stone and La Petite Winnie IN this
line is worthy OF special Incntion,
while the work of Reid Wilson as d
fun maker is d howIiug success from
start to finish. Miss Lape Is accord
ed the best OF support by every
member of the company, ana while
space and time viii not permit men
tion of each one, we heartily recon-
mend the Leora Lane company to
the theatre goers throughout the en-
tire Hills country. They deserve
much better audiences than Rapid
City gave them.

Avoid Tariff on Cattle.

Kansas City, NO., May 9.-The
prospective duty on Mexican cattle
as proposed in the pending tariff
bill has resulted in an unprecedent-
ed rush of Mexican cattle into the
United States. The reports of the
Kansas City office of the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture show that
the imports of Mexican cattle for
April were 72,644, the greatest in
the history of this ccuntry's cattle
trade with Mexico.
The imports for March exceed the
imports for any previous month, but
the March figures were exceeded in
April. About two-thirds of the
cattle imported were entered at
Nogales and El Paso.

Saturday night for the benefit of the
Rapid City base ball club and the
entertainment was satisfactory
throughout. The songs were all
strictly up to date and there was
nothing stale about the jokes. Part
first was one of the biggest and
most successful burnt cork carnivals
ever givru by home talent in Rapid
City Part second was made up of
musical spccialties of the greatest
merit and every number was well
received. The show closed with the
laughing afterpiece, "The InteIli-
gence Office, and was chuck full of
lnerriment from beginning to end.
The boys cleared S52. ~ above ex-
penses, which will start the ball
team on the road to victory in good

A Disastrous Fire.

While the wind was blowing a
veritable gale from the northwest
about ; O'Clock last Saturday morn
jny, the alarm OF fire was turned in.
The house CT III fame presided over
by Lou Hunt and situated on Rapid
street was found to be in flames and
doomed to total destruction. 50
rapid was the spread of the flames
that the four inmates Of the resort
together with two or three men who
were spending TIE night there bare
~ had time to escape with thei"
lives, not even saving a shred Of
clothing usually worn by them dur
ing the day. Two OF the inna tes
were forced to jump from second
story windows in order to escape
bein burn d to death.
Ine fire Iaddies were prompt to
respond to the cali considering the
untimely hour and soon had three
streams playing ON the fire. No at
tempt was made to save the building
the attention Of the department
being taken up in preventing the
spread of the fire, aud it seems al
most a miracle tnat at least two
blocks of Rapid City S buildings are
not now in ashes The fire lads did
effective work, and only two small
buildings were consumed with the
Hunt resort. Not a penny CT insur-
ance Was carried on any Of them and
the structures, together with their
con tents, are total loss. Lou Hunt
and the inmates of her resort lost
everything they possessed, including
considerable money. A number of
gold watches, rings and gold and
silver com were recovered from the
ruins after the fire.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,

The Dcadwood Times, in comment

old and highly respected democratic

crat in Rapid City any stronger in

he, we DO not know him, and we all ,
regardless of politics respect him
for his opinion. The pops have
never claimed linn although we
would be pleased to do so.

Barber who has so long been the
clerk in the office both under repub-
lican and democratic administrations
and who is now an applicant for the
position OF postmaster, a pop or sym
pathjZer with them. This is quite
amusing to all who know the facts.
Mr.. Barber is a straight laced re-
publican and always has been and
many comments were heard during
the campaign about the Mckinley
button worn by clerk in demo-
cratic office, but he does understand
how to keep his politics out of his
official duties, a thing many others
do not understand, but out of his
Office he was a hard worker for Nc
kinley, as many of us pops have
reason to know. We do not believe
Mrs. Gossage endorses any such
misrepresentation.
If the Times can really and truly
make pops out Of these gentlemen,
we will be glad to get them, but from
dear experience we have no hope. 4
