Sheep i'm the Black Hills.

Five years ago there we're not more
than half a dozen tlocks in Pennington
county: now there are hundreds.
There were shipped from Rapid City
during the year 1898 125,OOO pounds of
wool valued at Sl7,5OO, and from Pierre
about 100000 pounds were shipped,
which came from Black Hills sheep.
This makes IL total of $4,000 pounds,
valued ut $4,000. 1t is estil ated that
10000 sheep were shipped for mutton
valued at $1,000 and that 100000 pounds
of wool were shipped during the year,
valued at $4,000. Eighteen thousand
sheep were shipped for mutton, valued
ut $4,000. This makes n total of SILL
800 which the sheep men of the Black
Hills have received from their sheep
during the past year. 1t is stated that
the number of sheep will be more than
doubled in the next five years. The
Black Hills ranges are especially
adapted for sheep raising and many of
the largest cattle companies are selling
their herds and investing in sheep

In q long article to the Spearfish
Mail written to that paper by E. H.
Warren appears the following para
graph concerning a railroad to the
Hills:
"That much talked of railroad from
Pierre to the Black Hills is again re.
ceiving attention. OF course, it always
comes up at every legislative session,
but it is a fact, that the productions
and exports from that section are re-
ceiving more serious attention than
for some time past. The fact that the
gold production for 1898 amounts to
s7,5O0,OOO, mutton and wool sales, $685.
600; lumber shipments, sl.OoO,OoO; cat
tie, s5,OOO,OOO; brick and lime, sl25,OOO
horses, $4,000 is sufficient to stir up
the people here and set them at work
to secure direct rail connection. Sioux
Falls people are interested, too, as they
realize that they can never hope for
any commercial benefit from the Hills
until such rail connection is made.
1t is unnecessary to say that Black
Hills people are always ready to assist
such an enterprise"

Around Mt. Rainier.

This mountain is the grandest in the
United states. 1t is more than $4,000
feet high, is covered with ice and snow,
has beautiful parks and noble forests
at it's base, and is much frequented by
camping parties, tourists and noun
tain climbers.
Some years ago the Northern Pacific
fitted out a party that assembled the
mountain to it's highest point. An
article in Wonderland '9S describes
some experiences of the party in camp
life in Paradise Park. This mountain
trip is sure to become increasingly
popular, especially to those who make
Puget Sound a theatre for vacation
trips, and such will be interested in
this chapter.

Why Waste Time with Correspondence
when Pensions are Possible Without.
HI. j. Harlow of the Soldiers Home
in this city has recently secured a
bounty of 5000 for Jakey Brown, by
eason of his services in the Mexican
war. This fact naturally causes nj to
wonder why pensioners should hire a
Washington attorney to transact their
pension business when it can be done
for them by an agent right at home,
whose success has been so marked that
Senator Pettigrew hiss repeatedly urged
old soldiers to take their business to
the firm to which MIR. Harlow belongs,
viz, Van Slyke & Harlow, Sioux Falls
and Hot Springs. Congressman Free
man Knowles has also declared that
Mr.. Harlow is better able to secure a
pension for a man than any Washing
ton attorney he had ever met. During
his five years stay at the Home he has
had a good many claims allowed and
has had success in many cases which
have been rejected two or three times,
the main re lson therefor being that all
matters are carefully and conscien-
tiously considered.

two bills that will be of interest to
South Dakotans. One provides that
the maximum fee of a deputy survey

therefor, and shall receive patents up

question of expansion he said: "Upon

can be trusted. If it has got to learn,
it will learn. If it has got to go for

has got to take any back steps, it is
not ashamed to take them. And no

cumstances, with great subjects that
are coming before us, what will be the

The governorship contest has bee

The governorship contest has been
dropped and there will be few mourn
ers over the fact. Kirk Phillips, him
self, we understand, was hardly in fav-
or of it at any time, although no doubt
he believed with q large number of
people that he received more legal
votes in the state than Andrew +. Lee
But Il contest would not only be eNpen-
sive. hut would keep the state in a tur-
moil for IL long time. The great dis
crepancy i'll the returns, between the
vote upon governor and other officers,
was sufficient grounds for at once
questioning the reliability of the re-
turns upon governor and give grounds
for a contest. Yet the face of the re-
turns gave Lee Il majority and what
ever the outcome it would have been
no credit or benefit to the state to have
Il wrangle and litigation over it for
months. IL certainly has taken for
b%earance, and courage as well, to submit
to the situation without u contest, and
we congratulate the movers in the mat
ter in dropping it. though in the
hearts OF thousands there will remain
the firm conviction that Kirk Phillips
was honestly elected governor.

II Gov. Lee had been able to have
those who wrote his message withhold
their bitter and vindictive partisan
temper from frequent outbursts
thro ughout his message it would have
been a most creditable state paper. 1t
contains many valuable recommends
tions, and shorn of its partizanship
and demagoguery it is good.
