That any of the land lying between
the Missouri and the country watered
from the Black Hills may be made val
uable for agriculture is known to be
imnossihla by those of ma who have lived
from twenty five to thirty five years in
! this state. The cry of knocker' which
seems to be the principal argument used

not alter the climate or soil. nor would

located at Pierre do sO
THE COUNTRY WOULD NOT SUPPORT
ONE MORE STEER.
There are good lands on the Grand, the
Moreau. the Cheyenne, and White
rivers, but the area is limited; and the
possibilities Of irrigation are limited,
also.
The removal of the capital will not
cause the lands lying west Of the river
to decrease In value no more than il has
caused them to increase. Farmers set
tie on land upon which they can live,
and it is not to the advantage of this
State to get settlers through misrepre-
sentation. We have grand State, but
there is no State in the Union that is all
good; and when each portion OF the
State is used for what it is best adapt
ed, the best results will be secured.
The argument used by Pierre that we
already have capitol building there,
should not be taken into consideration;
for you know the
BUILDING IS FIRE. TRAP,
that nothing could save if fire started
In it. It is a menace to the lives Of
those who work in the building, and
nothing could save invaluable public
records from utter destruction.
Should the capital remain at Pierre, q
new building is an imperative necessi
ty. Mitchell has given to the State BY
perpetual lease. q fine stone building
which I have personally inspected. and
it is amply equipped with fre-proof
vaults, and is of sufficient capacity for
all uses Of the State for the next twenty.
five years. The people Of that city have
also presented to the State twenty acres
of we'll located land for q capitol site.
Another fact that should not be over.

that a capitol building can be erected
at Mitchell at q cost Of fully one third
