The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1903-08-28

South Dakota claims more
wealth every year, in proportion
to population, than any other
state in the Union. The fgures
for the other states are not at
hand, but we do know that South
Dakota's farms, ranges, gardens,
mines and quarries will have
yielded nearly $3.50, 900, 600
worth Of products at the close of
this year and the total population
is about $50, 900. This is Il per
crpita production of 1911 and if
thereare $50, 900 people anywhere
else who can beat it, we want the
tigures.-MpIs. Times

Word has come to the buyers
in the local elevators to pay
twenty cents off market price
for macarOni wheat. Much more
of this wheat has been raised III
Marshall county than i'll Brown.
Al association is being formed
in North Dakota, where the
wheat is being grown very eX-
tensively, for the purpose of find
ing q market for it. Mills are in
operation at jamestown, Valley
City, MiInor and Cakes, as we'll
as other places in North Dakota
which grind this wheat.
One of the objects of this as
ISOLATION will be to popularize
the use of flour from this wheat.
1t is thought by our agricultural
colleges throughout the country
and also the department OF agri-
culture hat it will be greatly to
to the interest of the farmers to
raise this wheat generally in
preference to ordinary wheat and
ii IS believed that it is only It
question of a short time when q
fair market can be established for
it. Let people who desire to en-
courage this enterprise order
macaroni flour through their
grocers, and, if satisfactory, be
come regular consumers of it,

PIERRE CHOTEAU

Eft. Pierre Fairplay.
While in st. st. Louis on profess
Sional business recently, Chas. e. De
Land, the Pierre attorney, called on
Pierre Choteau, grandson of the man
for whom our two towns were named.
He describes Mr.. Choteau as as a mar
we'll on past middle age and busy,
very busy, with his large property in
terests in his native city and prepar-
ations for the big fair next year, he
being on the st. Louis commission.
Pierre Choteau has planned several
trips up the Missouri river, but some-
thing has always happened to prevent
his coming. In a conversation with
Mr.. DeLand, however, he expressed
his determination to visit the scenes
of his gradfather's early struggles
and achievements in the not
distant future. The elder Choteau
was afur trader and conceived the
idea of establishing a line Of posts
from old ST. Louis which lie has
helped found, to the Pacific coast
at the mouth of the Columbia river.
This system afterWard grew into the
enormous business enterprise known
as the American Fur company.
Fort Pierre was n of the most i'm
portant posts of the company and
among the valuable possessions Of
the Choteau family are records kept
here for many years which show ar.
rival and departure of all boats and
parties and many other matters 81
interest. Mr.. DeLand also saw /
bell which formerly hung in the Ole
fort. AS soon as South Dakota has
fire proof building to serve as a re
pository for these relics of inestim
able value the collection will be per
petuallyloaned to the state.

A petition very numerously
signed by tax payers will be pre-
scented to the common council at
the next meeting praying that an
appropriation be made to place a
clock in the tower of the new
court house. There is quite a
decided opposition to the propo-
sition on the part of a number of
tax payers. This opposition is
not likely to materialize IN a re-
monstrance but in q quiet way
may make itself felt. Q A propo-
sition is also under discussion to
turn over the insurance money
in the hands OF the grain palace
association for this purpose in
case the council fails to make the
appropriation. BY one means or
the other it is likely the clock
will be secured. 1t certainly
Wonld be the graceful thing for
the city to put the finishing touch
upon this handsome structure.
