President of Many Roads.
1t is safe to assert that few people
among the general public have even an
approximate idea Of the large number of
roads that are managed in the way al
ready roughly outlined. In some cases a
single New York banker is president of
several important Western properties
whose lines may not extend farther East
than Chicago.
Take, for instance. that little wizard
Edward II. Hartman, who is contesting
with that giant in the railroad world,
James J. Hill, for his right to the control
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany Soon after Mr. Hartman secured
control of the Southern Pacific Company
for the Union Pacific Railroad he was
elected president of the former company.
Control of the Southern Pacific carried
with it control of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. Charles II Tweed lonp
one of the late Coils p. Huntington's
most valuable associates and counselors,
was then president OF the Pacific Mail
steamship Company. a little later he
resigned, and was succeeded by Mr. Har-

M%itchell's Chances for Capital.

Ralph w. Wheelock in the Mime
apolis Tribune: During the past
week South Dakota visitors to the
Twin Cities have represented d wide
range, from points In the southeast
EN- corner of the state to localities
northwest Of Aberdeen, and in most
cases they have been dislnterested
in their expressions of opinion.
Nearly all of these opinions agree
that Mitchell is certainly making
Roadway in the fight for capital To-
cation. The campaign is now we'll
under way and if the rate of pres
sure increases proportionally in the
months before election day the state
will see a repetition of the good old
days of early statehood.

MITCHELL NOT A "kNocKeR"
Supporters of Mitchell are Standing
Loyalty by ali Parts of the
State.

Tyndall (Bon Homme county,
Tribune: 1t has not come to the
Tribune's notice that any Of the ed
itorial writer's who are supporting
Mitchell for the capital are knock
ing any part OF the state. The
newspapers can be depended upon to
stand loyalty for all parts of the COM
monwealth and nothing would give
greater pleasure to the most enthusi-
astic supporter Of Mitchell than to
see all Of Pierre's rainbows and fairy
tales materialize into a glad fruition.
1t is unfortunate, perhaps, that
Pie1re's desperate situation has lost
whatever reverence for the truth
about the country west of it it ever
possessed, and it is but natural for
newspaper writers Of the state who
have been thoroughly familiar with
all parts of it and its various re-
sources for d decade to become dis
gusted with the literature and state
ments %emanating from Pierre since
the removal act Of our legislature,
and so express themselves.
This is not ridicule Of the western
and northwestern part Of the state
but rather a justly merited rebuke
to the over-zealOus boomers OF Pierre.
Pierre has invited this-sought it in
fact at every oppotunity-kno wing
that an attempt to cram such stuff
down the Threats Of the intelligent
editors Of the state was sure to be
rejected. Then Pierre and her alleys
could set up the cry Of "knocker."
10 deny that the great plains and
table land, $500 to 1000 feet above
sea level, west Of Pierre, will in time
be as tbickly settled as the state east
Of the Missouri, is not riGicule any
more than it is ridicule to express a
doubt about Sioux Falls %overtaking
Chicago. Everybody admits that the
state west of the Missouri will show
a greater development In time,
though there are millions of acres of
IL WlllS u 1olCSCl lCllldlLl ullllC
for and incapable OF agricultural
pursuits.
Meanwhile the country east CT the
Missouri will 90 right ahead and
hold its present percentage of the to-
tai population of the state. Here
lies the gist of the Mitchell argu-
ment. In passing-it is Of ..particular
note that Peterson's Illustrated Atlas
of South Dakota, nov being distrib-
uted to the subscribers throughout
the state, ''knocks'' Pierre and its
claims to a capital location a harder
blow than all that has been written
since the capital question came up.
II a copy Of it could be placed in the
hands Of every voter there would
never be any doubt about the result
next November.

Iceland ART COMPANY
Possession of Photograph Gal
lery as It's Future Place of
Business i'm Mitchell.

The Iceland Art X Manufacturing
Company, organized some time ago
for the purpose of operating photo
graph galleries. and making ''stereo-
scope pictures holders" an article of
which the company owns the patent,
havs succeeded Rothenberge1 &
Myers, photographers, and took
possession today.
The company will remodel the gall
lery, put in new furniture and fix
lures, and make it one of the most
up to date in the state.
Rothenberger and Myers have been
employed by the company and will
continue to wait on customers and
furnish the same high class work as
heretofore.
Arrangements will soon be made
for the manufacture of the "stero-
scope picture holders." and their
distribution from the city. This in-
vention has been pronounced by
those who have seen it to be an ar.
ticle that will readily sell. and as the
cost of manufacture will be very
small the inventor and those WHO
have purchased stock in the company
feel they have a very good thing.
The following gentlemen are mem,
bers of the corporation: o. {.
Thompson, OF Mitchell, Fl. II. Gar.
ey. John OppeGahl, Edward Fitcl
and q. S. Iceland, of Mt. Vernon
the latter being the inventor of til.
patent.
