RAPID CITY LIKELY

Rapid City, Nov. 27.--It is learned
through private sources that there is
an effort being made to remove the
United States land Office from this city
10 Deadwood. The change has Eecn
advised by the present officials at the
land Office and others who have persol-
al interest in Deadwood and vicinity.
The reasons given for the change are
that Rapid City has but one railroad
and that the bulk of the business
mn from the upper country. The
present location OF the Office is in the
geographical center of the district and
has always seemed to satisfy the peo-
pie of the Hills. Since the new ruling
has been made, land entries can BE-
made by mail, which is done now IN
nearly every case where the parties
live outside of the city. 1t is expected
that Rapid will not always have but
one railroad and with the bright pros
poets for the Southern Hills for TIE
future the chances are that the pres
cnt location will continue TO be in the
center of the land office business.
Last week the general committee OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, on
missions, met in Philadelphia and vot-
ed to give $500 TO the support OF the
missionary work in the Black Hills.
The request for aid by the Methodist
college at Hot Springs, TO the amount
of $1,000, was not granted on the
grounds that the institution is a pri-
waite concern and that missionary mon
ev could not be given to educational
work,

The American consuls In the Island

1t should be remembered that every
essential consular report OF the coBdi-

suis in Cuba appointed by the last adj
