tSe enemy. All the material, even to
BE flooring was to be cut from the
woods near the little river.
The first two days Of this work weuid
have been very happy ones to me but
for single circumstance. All day long
there wandered among us the farmer
who owned the young pine forest from
which we were cutting our timber, and
his face looked as if his family were
dying one by one, with no doctor or
medicine within reach. Had he lost
his Temper and sworn at us we could
have got rid of him and our uncomfort-
able feelings, but he was a gentle, slow
spoken, tired looking man, like the
American farmer of almost any other
state. and he told US how he had been
saving that bit of woods from the time
he married. so that the timber upon il
should pay for educating his sons when
they grew up and also to give himself
and his wife little money with which
to see something of the world after the
boys married and the farm was divided
between them. Now it all was being
swept away and without word OF
warning or cent of pay.
well. sir" said our captain kindly,
'I'm awfully sorry for you, but it's one
of the fortunes of war. A full half of
my company are young men who ought
to be in college or learning some bust
ness by which to live and perhaps pro-
vide for their parents later years; but,
so far as their own future is concerned,
their time is being wasted about as
thoroughly as your property"
81 suppose that's true" said the
farmer, looking around at the men at
work you've got some likely looking
young fellows. But that don't give me

livery WELL" said the captain, "the
government will pay you the full value
of your trees if you will certify and
prove that you are and always have
been a true and loyal citizen of the
United States and have never given aid
or comfort to the enemy"
The farmer stopped looking gentle
and tired as he replied:
give given the Confederacy my three
sons, and I'm proud of it"
That's square, honest talk" said the
captain, "but it brings us back to the
fortunes of war again."

farmer. 49, ts.Szz 5"~s@-Eea=ar-z

IT only went with my state" contin-
ued the farmer. "God knows never
wanted any war; neither did any of my
neighbors, except loafer or two"
"pTwas the same way with me and
my neighbors," said the captain. u
suppose if we on our side and you on
your side had been more particular
about the men we sent to congress and
to the legislatures-if we had thought
more of our country and less of our
party, there wouldn't have been any
war"
There's a right smart lot of sense in
that" said the farmer after moments
reflection. Then he looked sad eyed
and continued But it doesn't give me

llished 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 all
the claims that had been made for it.
South Dakota's future looks bright in
deed from any standpoint and the peo-
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. Inthe Black
Hills the mining interests are fabulous
and this state has the distinction of pos
sessing 'the 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.

and even all the energy is not confined
to the larger cities. To indicate some
thing of the size Of the leading cities the
population of them are given according
to the census of 1000:
Sioux Falls 1926; Lead 6,21o; Yank-
ton 4,I25; Aberdeen 4.o87; Mitchell 4,o55
Watertown 1882; Madison 1850; Pierre,

Huron 2,7o3; Canton 1,o43; Deadwood
3,4oS; Rapid City 1,342. There are many
other towns in the state whose popula-
ton exceeds 1000. Of the towns whose
population was over 1900 ten years ago
Mitchell has made the greatest gain in
population, which is placed at 50 per
cent.
Fine improvements are being made in
many cities of the state and thrift and
prosperity is seen on every hand. Sc
many of the towns are %expending their
money on public improvements to better
their streets and sidewalks. These i'm.
proveIlents show the temper of the PEG
pie to be progressive and to enhance
the attractiveness of the homes and the
business district.

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 10
degrees; July is the warmest with an
average Of II 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 ~ inches; OF this
two or three inches occurs during the
first quarter Of the year, nine to ten

creameries for the year will amount to

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 300
creameries in operation in South Da-
kota and more will be erected in the
future.
AS an illustration of what is accomp-
lished by the creamery in the state a
report of three are given for a years
business. The Kimball creamery re
ceived 2.S66,667 pounds of milk from the
patrons which averaged IS cents per 100

aEE.Ts
The state has made fine provisions for
its public schools in the way of creating
an endowment that will last forever, by
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
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
this amount of money will reach afabu-
lous sum-, as is indicated by the amount
that 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 yet
held which, with the increasing popula.
ton of the state and the greater demand
for lands, will advance the price of these
and nus 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 prof,
by their wisdom and fo%rethought.

tural country, and she is no stronger in
one feature than another. The great
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 S~35,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 1900, and
it 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 n 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 o.

of a great many eastern states. In all
parts of the state the townships are
dotted with the school house and no
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 Bookings, the School of
Mines at Rapid City, the Deaf and
Dumb school at Sioux Falls, the Blind
Asylum at Gary, the industrial School at
Plankinton. A school of Technology
has been erected at Aberdeen in the
northern part of the state, which has
added that much more to the sp lendid
facilities of the state.
Aside from the state institutions there
are a number of private colleges in a
number of towns. Colleges and univer-
sites are located at Mitchell, Yankton
Huron, Sioux. Falls, Canton and Yves
sington Springs. All of these are de
nominational schools and embrace the
Methodists, Congregatlonalists, Bap'
lists, Presbyterians, EpiscoPalians

state, and this animal has proven his

in South, Dakota with the same profit as
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 industrywas at first thought
to be Improbable for the reason that
it was difficult to demonstrate the fact
that there was money in it. Nearly
every county in the state on the east
side of the Missouri river has now from
one to three creameries. AS to their be-
ing profitable it is only necessary to
secure the reports from the creameries
to demonstrat the fact.
