READY TO LET CONTRACT
The State Commission Has Plans for
State Building at st. Louis
Ready for Contract.

The plans for the state building at
The st. Louis exposition have been
completed by W. l.. Dow & Son, OF
Sioux Falls, and have been turned
owe to the board Of commissioners.
The members of the board expect to
depart in a few days for st. Louis to
award the contract for the construc-
ton OF the building. The method Of
decorating the building has been
changed to some extent. which robs
it Of halt its beauty. At n time it
was the intention to decorate the ex-
terror of the building on the same
plan as the corn palace in this city,
but it is understood now that the
commission will contine all Of the
decoration to the interior OF the
building. One Of the greatest feat
ures of the local corn palace was the
beautiful figures that were presented
in corr on the exterior of the struc-
ture, and building along similar
lines would attract crowds to the in
terror much quicker than a plain ex-
terror.
The structure will be two stories in
height and will occupy d ground
space Of 44x6S feet. There will be
two pOrches ten feet wide and thirty
feet long. one at the main entrance
to the building and the other DIT one
side. There will be no outside dec
orations. The structure will be frame
and will be finished with Yankton
cement and a tile roof
From the main hall the visitor will

size, with twcntY-eight foot ceilings.
This room and the entrance hall is
where the corn palace effect will be
presented. 1t is the intention of the
commission to handsomely decorate
these two rooms with cor and other
grain and grasses grown in South Da-
kota.
The side walls and ceilings will be
cut into panels six feet square, and
it is the purpose of the commission
to induce different counties and cities
Of the state to take one Of these pan
els and have a handsome design with
the name OF the county or town
worked in in an artistic manner.
This was the plan followed in the
South Dakota building at the worlds
far at Chicago, but colored glass Was
used instead Of grains.
The material that will be used for
decorative purposes is being gathered
from all parts Of the state and it is
being housed in the corr palace in
this city until next year, when II.
c. Warner, OF Woonsocket. will take
charge OF it and ship it to st. Louis,
Mr.. Warner stated to The Republican
that he was getting some very fine
samples in the agricultural line, and
that he will be able to make a great
display for the state at st. Louis.

Distance Lends

In one OF Mr.. Cllase's classes in
painting was a young chap who could
not paint pictures much better than
ne could save money. and the allow
ance given to him by his father was
very often gone before he knew it. One
day MI. Chase was talking to the
class on the subject Of perspective, and
this particular student did not appear
to get the idea very clearly. 10 make
1t plain Mr.. Chase went back to the

Bucking the Standard OH Co.

Bridgewater Tribune: Merchant
Hanson informs US that a boycott
against the products Of the Standard
Oil company has been inaugurated
here. FOI some time past the mer-
chants Of Bridgewater have been en-
deavornie to impress upon the Stand
ard Oil company that if the price Of
oil and gasoline continued to rise they
would cease to purchase them from
that combination. But the price con-
tinued to Use. On Saturday the Oil
wagon appeared again for the last
time in B~ridgewater until prices and
terms can lie arranged. The mer-
chants took what the wagon brought
in spite OF another raise of a half a
cent per gallon. The old man said to
the reporter that.he was tod by each
merchant, in a friendly way. that he
need not bring any more oil or gaso-
line. The merchants OF Bridgewater
are united in their determination to
furnish their customers with petrol
cum products at reasonable prices.

Eject OF Civilization.

The serious problem of the civilian
ton of the red man sometimes devel-
ops an amusing side. Bobtall Coyote
was sent to Il government school from
his reservation in the west clad in
buckskin and speaking only his mother
tongue.
He remained during the stipulated
time, gradually becoming a white man
to all intents and purposes. But no
greater transformation was manifest
ed when he returned to his people than
that of his name, which had evolved
from the savage Bobtail Coyote to that
which appeared or his neatly engraved
visiting card, Robert T. Wolf.-Youth's
Companion.

WONDERFUL PROSPERITY
Great Prosperity of the State Passctll
All Outside Understandings
Yet Ills True.

The newspapers outside Of the state
are exceedingly kind in their refer
ence to South Dakota and its great
production of crops this year. Min
neapolis: st. Paul, Sioux City, Omaha
and even Chicago papers have teemed
with the statistics Of what has been
done in this state in the crop line
this year. The other day the Min
neapolis journal in an editorial arti-
Gle has the following tribute to pay
South Dakota, and it is well worthy
Of production just for the purpose OF
showing our home people what the
outside papers have to say concerning
the great growth and development of
this magnictient commonwealth:
1t may seem impossible to believe
that South Dakota is the most pros
porous state in the union. But if
by prosperous we have reference to
production. Of wealth per capita,
there seems to be little reason to
doubt that it is. For six years now
the state has enjoyed a larger wealth
production per capita than any other
state in the union.-- This year a pop
ulation Of $50, 900 has produced $780,
000, 900 OF wealth. AS about Sl40,-
00O, 900 Of this wealth was produced
on the farm, it is safe to say that
there are few richer farming COM
munitlcs in the world, measured by
annua! production, than South Da-
kota.
The census Of 1900 found 50, 622
farmers in South Dakota. Assuming
that there are IS, 200 now, each South
Dakota farmer produces more than
s., 1900 worth Of wealth each year.
Undoubtedly this is too light an es-
innate. 1t is about twice the pro-
duction shown by the census in 1899.
According to the census North DakO-
ia did better than South Dakota in
the production of agricultural wealth,
each farm yielding in the former
state 81 AT, to 81 ,256 for the latter.
Still the farmers Of South Dakota
are much nor prosperous now than
they were four years ago. and it is
quite possible that the income per
farm is az high as it was in Iowa in
1899, where it was 81 ,59S per farm.
In other words, South Dakota is prob
ably producing as much wealth per
farm today as any state where irriga-
tlOn is not practiced.
