The Manzanola Sun issued a
very creditabie illustrated souvenir
edition last week, containing an
excellent write up OF the big red
apple district in particular and the
Arkansas Valley IN general.
The Sun in its souvenir edition
says OF the Arkansas valley:
The Arkansas valley is the
name applied to the fertile deposits
along the line OF the Arkansas
river from Pueblo to the Kansas

of the bottom land, in some places
to an irrigated alluvial deposit

is irrigated by water diverted
from the Arkansas river and its
tributaries Along the line OF this
section OF the stream are about ten
towns having populations ranging
from 400 to 1000 inhabitants.
Each Of these sections has made

Facts and Figures Descriptive of the
State of South Dakota.
The Population of Some of the Leading Cities--In-
creased Valuation of the Stock INTERESTS
Other Matters.

When South Dakota was admitted to
the union of states in 1850 she at once
took on the importance of a state. She
had struggled along under a territorial
form OF government and whatever growth
was made was by the energy of the peo-
pie within her borders. BY the census
OF 1000 the population OF the state is
4o!,57o. However, since that was com
pleted the state has added immensely TO
her number of people. In o and
since, the number of new people who
nave come into the state will amount to
100000.
he state has an area of 76,85o square
miles or 40, IS4,OOo acres. Geograph-
ically South Dakota is on a line
passing through northern Spain, the
extreme southern part Of Russia, and is
300 miles south of Paris; all of Germany
IS north and London is 400 miles north,

lished a new grade and made the ruling
price of butter on the New York market
and most of the time was quoted a cen
higher than Elgin. That was a splendid
victory for the state and s~ubstantiated al
the claims that had been made for it.
South Dakota'S future looks bright in,
deed from any standpoint and the PEG,
pie who are casting their fortune with
us are on the road to a financial success,
The advantages for gaining a compe-
tenCe are even better than in some of the
eastern states, for the reason that farm
values are gradually growing higher and
the man who buys land today will not
have to wait many years before he can
double his money, not to mention the
products raised on the farm while It is
growing in value. The old prejudice
against the state has worn away and
eastern people can see now that the
state is entitled to rank among the other
states solely on its merits as a wealth
producing commonwealth. In the Black
Hills the mining interests are fabulous
and this state has the distinction of pos
sessing "thc richest forty square miles in
the world South Dakota people are
open hearted, generous and extend an
invitation for their eastern brothers to
come out and look the country over and
leave it to their own Judgment as to the
matter of investment.

cries IN the state is located in Dawson
county at Mt. Vernon, operated on the
cooperative plan and with that success
which has brought the farmers in that
section OF the county to a good financial
plane. There are now close to 400
creamerles in operation in South Da-
kota and more will be erected in the
future.
AS an Illustration of what is ccomn.
llshed by the creamery in the state a
report OF three are given for a years
business. The Kimball creamery re-
celved 2,ooo,o67 pounds of milk from the
patrons which averaged 6 cents per 100
pounds of milk; the amount paid to the
farmers was sI8,o63.55, producing 133,138
pounds of butter. The Parkston cream
cry did a little better. The DeSmet
creamery made even a better showing

tural country, and she is no stronger ir
one feature than another. The grea,
ranges on the reservation west OF the
Missouri river are the feeding grounds
of the world. The stock interests are
not entirely confined to that part of the
state, but in every county outside of por-
tons of the Black Hills country the cat.
tie, sheep and hog interests have multi.
Piled each year with great rapidity. AS
an indication of what is done in the cat.
tie interests the government report of
this industry for 1901 amounted to more
than S35,ooo,ooo, and two years before
the cattle industry had hardly got a start
on a larger scale among the farmers of
the state. The cattle interests are now
fully double what they were in 1000, and
1t has been one of the good things that
has brought the state up to its present
high prosperity. What has been done
IN the way of cattle raising was dupli-
Gated IN a great Measure in the sheep
interests. Where there was one flock of
sheep five years ago you can now find
five, and the conditions for the raising OF
sheep are so ideal that there is plenty of
room for the industry to be greatly mag
nifed in the future.
The hog industry has the attention of
a great many farmers in all parts of the

and Norway and Sweden is 500 miles
north OF this state. 1t is on a line pass
ing through central Oregon on the west
and Syracuse, N. Y, on the east.
The state is watered by three great
rivers, the Missouri, the James and the
Sioux, not to mention the innumerable
creeks and smaller streams that have
been made larger and more abundant
with water by reason of the hundreds of
artesian wells that have been sunk in the
past years.
The climatic conditions are ideal for a
western country. The average annual
temperature is a. degrees. January is
the coolest month, with an average of Il
degrees; July is the warmest with an
average of u degrees. This average
annual temperature compares favorably
with that of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mich
igan and northern Iowa. The average
annual rainfall precipitation for the
whole state is about p inches; of this
two or three inches occurs during the
first quarter of the year, nine to ten
inches during the second, six to seven
inches during the third and two to three
in the last.
South Dakota was greatly aided in its
settlement by the railroads, which, con-
rary to the usual customs of western

FARM SCENES IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

OF a great many eastern states. In all
parts OF the state the townships are
dotted with the school house and nc
child is beyond convenient access to
them. In the way of state educational
institutions there are three normal
schools-located at Madison, Spearfsh
and Springfield. The State University
IS at Vermillion, the State Agricultural
College at ~Brookings, the School of
Mines at Rapid City, the Deaf and
Dumb school at Sioux Falls, the Blind
Asylum at Gary, the industrial School at
planklnton. A school of Technology
has been erected at Aberdeen in the
northern part of the state, which has
added that much more to the SD lendid
educational facilities of the state.
Aside from the state institutions there
are a number OF private colleges in a
number OF towns. Colleges and u~niver-
sites are located at Mitchell, Yankton,
Huron, Sioux Falls, Canton and Wes-
sington Springs. All of these are de-.
nomlnational schools and embrace the
M~ethodists, Congregatlonalists, Bap-
lists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians,
Lutheran, Catholics, and in fact everv
denomination that is represented in the
state.

state, and this animal has proven his
worth in this country. He can be raised
in South Dakota with the same profit as
in any of the eastern states. In the
years to come the industry will become
more prominent among the farming
classes. The hog can be raised cheap
and while he can be raised with the
same rapidity as in Illinois and Iowa the
pork is finer and cheaper and always
sells at the top OF the market. There
are fewer losses from disease among the
hogs in this state and the income IS
proportionately that much larger where
death works the same havoc.
One of the most important industries
of the state is that of the creamery, and
nothing, practically, has done more to
bring South Dakota into such high
repute. The industry was at first thought
to be Improbable for the reason that
it was difficult to demonstrate the fact
that there was money in it. Nearly

side of the Missouri river has now from
one to three creameries. AS to their be-
ing profitable it is only necessary TO
ecu the reports from the creameries
to demonstrat the fact.
AS an instance of the magnitude of
the butter interests the statement of six
creameries IN Brule county for one week
is given in the matter of shipments of
butter, These SIX. institutions shipped
10000 pounds of butter in one week and

can be seen what a great sum of money
is turned over to the farmers each
month and what the aggregate would be
in the course of a year. 1t is stated with
authority that the receipts for the

The state has made fine provisions fol-
It's public schools in the way Of creating
an endowment that will last forever, by
setting aside in each county a certain
quantity Of land that is sold or leased
each year, the proceeds of which are
turned into the state treasury. The in
terest on this money, which is loaned
over the state on real estate, is appor-
toned to each public school in the state
and goes to pay the expense of conduct
ing the schools. In the years to come
his amount of money will reach afabu-
lous sum, as is indicated by the amount
hat is now held in the treasury for the
schools.
With this fund growing from year to
year it is figured that in time the people
will have to contribute very little of their
money for taxes for the support of the
schools. Thousands Of acres are vet
held which, with the increasing popula-
ton OF the state and the greater demand
tor lands, will advance the price of these
and thus create a larger fund for the
school purposes. 1t. is a very wise pro-
vision adopted by the constitutional
convention over twelve years ago, at
which time the magnitude of the fund
was not anticipated by the originators,
and the coming generations will profit
by their wisdom and ~forethought.

ner of a man Ed Biddle was. that he
should exert such a wonderful inilu-
ence over men and particularly wo-
men.
The verdict of the jury is that Ed
Biddle came to his death by a revolver
shot from a 32-calibre revolver fired
by himself and that Jack Biddle met
his death from a gunshot wound in
nicted by the officers in discharge of
their lawful duty.
The evidence secured by the au
topsy bears out the statements that
the Biddles intended to kill themselves
rather than be taken alive and that
Ed succeeded in his attempt while
Jack failed, though his life was for
feited
Since the officers concerned in the
fight and capture of the Biddles have
had time TO cool of a little there ap-
pears TO be a disposition to be fair
towards each other in the matter Of
the distribution of the prize money
and an agreement to divide the $1,000
equally among the four officers here
and the driver, ]. A Snyder, and the
three Pittsburg detectives, has been
practically consented to by all of the
men except Detective McGovern who
is not here.
At 6 o'clock last evening the bodies
of the Biddles were removed from the
Jail to one of the Railways of the
sheriff's dwelling and the public was
given an opportunity of looking at the
two nortorious criminals.
Hundreds of people braved the
worst blizzard of the year, besieging
the Jail doors for admitance, which
was refused until the evening, when
the doors of the dwelling house at
tached to the Jail, wereopened and
