BEYOND THE EXPERIMENTAL STAGE
-' e..
Dakota HurOnite.


The development and settling OF this
part of the state has begun in earnest. On
every handacan be seen evidences of the
fact that the people who are here now and
who are now coming are stayers - This
writer's attention was called to a new
feature in what is termed the land busi-
ness by John H. King. Nearly a score of
settlers in this county this spring had
come under his notice, who loaded their
goods on the train and came to this coun-
ty without first having looked the ground
over and who upon their arrival bought
homes and have settled thereon. The land
business has been largely :specu-
lative heretofore and what few
new settlers have come here have
been brought in by the persevering land
agents Now that they come with their
families without first having been on the
ground is pretty good evidence that our
faith in South Dakota has taken possess
sion of our Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
other distant friends. sa

much to promote deeper interest in that

which comes nearest to a large proportion
of our population. And while these dis

lack Of consid ideration, as the work OF

great value and are coming to be regard

A Vienna professor Of considerable fame

One very wet day when leaving, after
his usual meal, the learned doctor was

shabby headgear, a real, sparkling
Partisan hat.
He could only attribute this to the deli

Next day, when at the cafe as usual, he

STORM ON THE SLOPE.

First Severe Storm Of the Winter Pre-
walls on the Missouri Slope.
A young blizzard swept down from
out of the northwest somewhere last
night and piled up snow for ambi-
ton to shovel away this morning. AT
ter a day of comparative warmth,
but with high wind. snow began to
fall at about five O'Clock last evening.
and it was caught up by the fierce
wind and whirled about in a veritable
tornado of the snow. The weather
however. was not unusually cold, and
the snow, instead of being dry and
marsh when hurled into the faces of
pedestrians by the wind. was damp
and surcharged with moisture. The
storm ragged during the entire night.
and the wind was still rather high
this morning. and snow fell heavily
during part of the day.
Drifts ranging in depth from three
TO seven feet were to be encountered
IN various places about the city this
morning. ana snow shoveling vas a
popular occupation. In some places
lifts covered lengths of sidewalk for
half block
Fortunately the temperature has
been only moderately low, preventing
much suffering that might have occur
red otherwise. The storm was OF
comparatively short duration. and this
tended also to moderate its effects.
At the 500 Offices it was stated that
the storm ragged with about the same
severity as here at points along their
line as far as Oakes. Their track
was not badly drifted however and
train was started out this morning,
the officials not foreseeing any difficul-
ty in getting through.
The same conditions prevailed
along the Washburn line and the Nor
thern Pacific where the storm extend
ed for considerable distance in both
directions.

GRAIN GROWERS CONVENTION
Some Of the Programme to Be Carried
Out at the TrI-State Meeting.

wv a. IIiC tss-Ss0NV NtSSs'Ss
During the Tri-State Grain and
Stock Growers convention held in
Fargo last January, so much inquiry
was made about seed grain, especial
ly timothy seed and seed corn, that a
Farmers Exchange was organized
FarMers having seed grain of any
kind for sale therefor will do them
selves and their neighbors favor by
exhibiting samples with prices at the
January convention.
Stockmen also frequently have
sres that cannot longer be profitably
used on their herds or flocks and who
desire to exchange them for similar
animals but of different kin. Con-
siderable money can frequently be
saved by such exchanges.
1t is hoped that farmers will take
advantage of the Farmers Exchange
and make it a feature of the forth
coming convention.
Pictures and pedigrees as we'll as
descriptions of the stock offered for
exchange can be bulletined and in
terested parties thus be brought to-
gether without inconvenience.
Samples of grain and grasses Of
good type and fine quality also can be
exhibited, to demonstrate the advan-
tage of proper seed selection and
good cultivation.

gest as a general theme for Ego as

What system of crop rotation have

was sent by pupils of the Indian
school at Fort Berthold. North Dako
ia. Last fall when Mr. Callaway sent
several Indians east to the Carlisle
school in Pennsylvania. the young
sters visited his Office and examined
carefully the photographs on its walls.
They have added as their token, an
exhibit of school work. This includes
photographs OF scenes at the reserva-
ton, reproductions in pencil and col
or of figures from famous paintings,
and letters and essays on several sub
jects. One letter, particularly inter
esting, gives the Indian idea of rail
roads. 1t reads,
Il will write short letter about
what the Indians used to think Of
railroads. They were at first much
afraid Of the cars and engine. The
engine was the most frightful They
had many different ideas about it
Some thought it must be the white
mans devil, sure, and would chase
them over the prairies; others called
it fire boat walks on the mountains,
and it was some time before we would
go near the railroad.
"Our ponies were just as afraid Of
the train, or more so, than we were.
The Indians could not understand at
first that the road was for good
purpose. but thought 1t an invention
of that strange race of people we call
pale faces to do us harm A few
1nciars who were better educated and
more intelligent than the others soon
learned the nature OF the railroad.
but many of the Indians would not
believe what they said for some time
1--WE are glad that the railroads are
near is. for when we want to go TO
Minneapolis or Chicago for a visit. or
to ship our cattle, it only takes a few
days to do so. but if we had to ride
our ponies it would require a long
time This new way of living. the
old Indians say, is better than the old
way. when we lived on buffalo meat
