we shall begin taking money and
those WIN come first will be served
first. Remember that ali of the
squares are 3O0x30O feet AMI of the
size of IL full lots. $500 per square
means SIG. 66 per lot: the squares are
not divided into lots by Mr.. Weaver
and will not be: yet several can
join together and get a sauare aud
afterward divide it to suit them
selves. Deeds can be made to par
~ties..as they may desire. With those
who intend to club together a favor
lite way is to have four GO in and
each n take a quarter OF the
square: in that way each of the four
will get three lots for only $50. This

Paper Making and the Egyptians.

The art of paper making is almost
prehistoric. 1t is believed that the
Egyptians invented the first crude
process. This is shown in the name
Itself, which is derived from the word
papyrus, q reed which grows in Egypt
and other warm countries.
The ancient Egyptians made their
primitive paper from this plant by TAX
ing the smooth, fbrous layer between
the rough outer bark and the inner
flesh of the reed. This they dried and
glued together in long rolls, which
served as a means to convey their
thoughts in hieroglyphics. This proc
ess has been so improved upon during
the succeeding ages that today the
most perfect paper a be made from
the meanest substances.

LOOKED AT DIFFERENTLY NOW

Pierre Capital : Journal: Ralph
Wheelock. of the Minneapolis Trib-
me-. writes the Mitchell Republican
a letter in which he says as an out
slider be is not supposed to be inter
eSted in the South Dakota capital
fight, but that as an old resident of
Mitchell who went through two cam
paigns with the city, he cannot help
feeling a leaning toward the old
town. He further says the same ar
guments hold good now for Mitchell
which were good in former campaigns.
With the results of former campaigns
as an indication OF how far the argu-
ments hold good. Mitchell will have
to do a lot of hustling to find any
comfort in the returns Of the next
election.
Thirteen years ago it was a difficult
matter TO convince the people but
what geographical center was the
correct thing in the matter of capital
location. Since then there has been
a change in the feeling-the geo.
graphical center was TOO far removed
from the center of population-the
people want to reach the state capital
quick. That is M Of the arguments
used by Mitchell before the members
of the state legislature when she Sc
cured the resubmission of the capital
question. The argument worked we'll
with the representatives of the peo-
pie. The same argument will be con
tinued to the people of the common
wealth and with the experience of
the past thirteen years in trying to
reach the out Of the way capital of
the state they will, doubtlessly. open
their eyes to the situation that the
capital belongs to the people and that
it should be placed within easy ac-
Of the greatest number. A cap
ital of a state should not be used to
build up a certain portion Of the COM
monwealth, but should be placed in
a part where one does not have tc
travel a day and a half to transact an
hours business. The location of the
capital is a pure business proposition
there is no Sentimentality in it.
