Phoenix so recently that they have had no opportunity 10 hear of the eXperien ces the colonel has had in iourna i'm. The colonel Ioas not believe that any man who lived in Phoenix as long as year ago or vino has had access to the court records up to the present time would believ: for an instant that he was contemplating the perps tTat. on of journalism again.
 Colonel Wilson said that he has nev- CT been able to explain to his own sat isfaction how he became a journal st. He said that in the course or his public and professional career he had often observed the newspaper field in a cas- ual. way and while 1t looked pleasant and inviting enough, the act of enter ing it had never suggested itself to him.
 But about two years ago he found himself walking around the d. He was not aware of any particular attrac ion but now and then he caught himself browsing through the fence and all at once he was overcome by an irresistible impulse to butt in. The enclosure gave way before the impact. and he found himself on the inside, but he was unab e to stop to fill himself with the deli cacies on which he had been browsing through the fence. The violence with which he had entered lent an impetus to his movements which carried him across the field and butted him out on the opposite side. Ii was all done so quickly that the colonel's recollection of the event includes only the crash made bv his entrance and that occa- stoned by his exit. That has resounde1 in his ears ever since. There was q loss of some hai- and some cuticle which serves to keep his memory of his jour nalistic career alive.

RETURNED FROn THE FAIR
The Impression It Made on nr. T. J.
 Sparks.

T. J. Sparks has returned from an eastern tour on mining business which tCok him to Chicago. On his return he stopped at the worlds fair which he says is the greatest world exposition in the history of the displays of the prod ucts of mems hands and minds. This is the opinion of not only MT. Sparks but also that of men who have seen them all.
 There was some delay in the opening of the exposition on account of labor troubles and insufficient railroad facil- ities but the buildings have all been finished. A few of the foreign displays have not yet been placed but there is as much within the grounds as one cares to see.
 The indications are now that this will be different from all other eXposi- tions in that there will be no deficit left after 1t is over The attendance is fully up to the expectation of the man agemeht. During the time MT. Sparks was there the average attendance was 10000 and one day 170,000 visitors passed the gates.
 The grounds are admirably situated and arranged. A half million people could comfortably be accommodated within the walls. Every facility is of fered for seeing things. They consist of the intra mural railway. auto mobiles. water craft on the lagoons and wheel chairs. There is charged for these various means Of lccomotion from thirty to fifty cents an hour.
 The Canadian Mr. Sparks believes to be one of the best displays on the grounds taking into account its wide variety. lumber, grain, minerals. i'm dustrial productions. works of art, etc. The Canadian building is among the best in the grounds. The hands nest is probably the French which is cer- tainly the most expensive. The next is the English building a solid and orr namental structure surrounded by g magnificent garden all Of V hose flow CTS were transplanted from England.
 Mir. Sparks brings back with him the surprising intelligence that Arizona has not contributed greatly to the architectural splendor of the fair. That is so widely different frcm reports that have hitherto reached Phoenix that r. is almost unbelievable. The site of the Arizona building is near the Market street entrance one of the most prom inent sites on the ground and that very situation is rather disadvantage ous. It strikes the average beholder that there should have been more mon ey invested in the territorial structure or none al all.

steads take the cheaper lands with
oniy fourteen months residence, aud
not a steady one a that, that is 1e-
quited of them?
Why is this if n part OF the state
is as good as another2: The lands
around Pierre are alright fer certain
purposes. The rich, succulent buff
alo grass has fattening qualities
which makes some Of the cattle from
that section look As though they had
walked out of a picture and at times
they compete strongly with the corn
fed beeves of other parts of the state
and other states. AS range coun-
try, as a country where the cattle
man and horseman has made and will
make fortunes the country west Of
the river has no equal. 1t is alright
in this respect. But the center Of
population is farther east.
Mitchell lies in the center Of the
populous district and always will be
located there. This is Mitchell's
strongest argument. Place the cap
ital where the people are. Make it
easier Of access to everyone in the
state.
Statistics show that the eastern
part Of the state is growing ten
times as rapidly in population IS the
country around Pierre is and yet
Pirere has had the capital for years.
Why is this? Because this part Of
the state will support a denser popu-
lation. Because there is no room for
thousands Of people in eastern South
Dakota and the country is filling up
with people from other states right
along but most Of them prefer to stay
in the nor populous eastern portion
Possibly they, too, are knocking the
state because they select the eastern
portions in preference to the lands
farther west.
The land west Of the river is in
greater demand every year and new
settlers will locate there right along,
still those Pierre boomers know full
we'll that there are thousands OF
acres out there that will never be
homesteaded. They do not belong
to the farming lands and W though
there is bound to be a great influx
of new settlers, the Pierre chaps can
not make an intelligent public be-
ljeve that the great table lands, some
of them about four thousand feet
above sea level, will ever be thickly
populated as the more fertile lands
further east.
Cut this talk Of %"knocking the
state :" out for a while.
Dig up some other argument that
will appeal more strongly to the in
telligence of the people Of South Da-
kota.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1904-09-16

vators.n Information as TO the
number of elevators In these thirty
ing towns was gained from other
sources but is correct.
The counties above enumerated N.
cept Hughes are not in the vicinity
of Pierre, and we ale much mistaken
if the people of those thriving local
tiles do not resent being so classified.
| Some of them are nearer to Mitchell
than to Pierre by a bee line, and all
of them are many miles nearer to
! Mitchell by rail than to Pierre.
Why do they have grain elevators
and Touring mills while Hughes
county colder and With the state cap
italy has none Of these evidences OF
successful agriculture? WHY are
lands in Edmunds, Faull. Campbell,
Mcpherson and Walworth so much
higher priced than in Hughes? Why
is land sold in Hand county, adjoin-
ing the town of Miller, for $50 an
acre while lands adjoining the city
of Pierre are advertised at $40 an
acre, and no buyers?
The United States weather bureau
reports for a long series OF years
answer these questions. 1t is a
difference in the annual average rain
fall.
But Pierre's proposition to wait
for ten years and if Hughes county
has not then developed, she will be
willing for the removal Of the capital
is a confession that Pierre's vicinity
has not developed during the past
Quarter of a century. Instead Of
progressing it is shown by the cen
sus that Pierre has a r%etrogade Of
2311s5 per cent from 1890 to 1900.
Then the people OF the state would
have to pay for the erection of a
costly capitol building at Pierre, to
be abandoned ten years from now,
or they would have to continue the
risk OF having Invaluable records
destroyed by fire.
Pierre's probation has been long
enough. The removal will take
place this year, and the people will
act wisely by so voting.

AROUND THE CORN PALACE

Instead of commencing at the bot
tom Of the building and working up
with the decorations this year Dec
orator Robe commenced work on the
towers and will work down. By do
ing this the corn on the lower part
of the building. where it is easier
seen, will be fresher and will not
shrink so much. The way Mr.. Robe
has started out with his work it is
plain to be seen that he is going to
have the most attractive building
that he has ever turned over to the.
citizens.
DR.. S. j. Moore. who has charge Of
collecting the Dawson county agri.
cultural exhibit, states that he has
been able to collect some excellent
specimens Of agricultural products
grown in Dawson county soil. The
material will be brought to the city
in the course Of a week or ten days
for arrangement in the corn palace
building.
The ladies are going TO have some
very attractive booths this year, as
indicated by the plans which they
have commenced to work out. What
they are will not be reveled to the
public until the day Of opening.
There will not be quite so many
booths this years as the west end of
the gallery will be utilized for seat
ing the unusually large number Of
people at the concerts by Sousa's
band,

PIERRE AND HER DESPERATE
PROPOSITION

Black Hills Blade: Under the head
Of 50 Fair Proposition" the Pierre
capital committee makes an appeal
to the voters Of South Dakota that
shows to what desperate straits the
Pierre advocates have been driven.
The appeal is as follows:
cit probably will be admitted that
county organization is a fair sort Of
thermometer as to the very oegin-
ming Of settlement in anv region.
No country is well settled until af-
ter years Of county organization.
Let US compare then the dates Of
county organization in Mitchell's vi
entity and in Pierre's, as to how long
each has had a chance.
"YanktOn and Bon HOmme coun-
ties were organized in 1862, Hutchin-
son and Hanson in 1871, Dawson (in
which Mitchell is situated) In 1873
and, Douglas, Aurora and Sanborn in
1881. This makes the average for
MitchelI's vicinity about 1873, or
thirty-one years ago
"Hughes county lin which Pierre
Is situated) was organized in 1880, or
several years after Dawson county
lin which Mitchell is situated Hand
county in 1882, Buffalo, SullY, Pot
ter, Faux, Walworth, Edmunds,
Campbell and Mcpherson in 1888,
and Hyde liz 1884. This makes the
average for Pierre's vicinity about
1883, or twenty-one years ago-ten
years less than the average FOR
Mitchell's vicinity.
"Give Pierre vicinity ten years
more in the way of chance for devel-
opment and il it doesn't oyertake
Mitchell's vicinity, then let the cap
ital be removed"
Hand county was organized two
years later than Hughes lin which
Pierre is located) and Edmunds.
Campbell, Faulk, Mcpherson and
Walworth counties we're organized
three years later than Hughes.
Hughes county has had a railroad
running through it from border to
border for more than twenty years,
while some Of the counties it claims
as lying in the vicinity Of Pierre
have had no railroads within their
borders until within five years; yet
an examination Of r. l.. Polk &
Co.'S. Gazatteer Of the Northwest for
1904 shows as follows:
Hughes county--Un which Pierre
is located) not a grain elevator or a
Touring mill.
Edmunds county-Fourteen grain
elevators and three Touring mills.
Campbell county-Seven grain ele-
vators and one Touring mill. Only a
few miles Of railroad in the county.
Faux county-Six gain elevators.
Mcpherson county-Thirty-one ele-
vators and two Touring mills.
Walworth county--Six grain elevat-
ors and a Touring mill.

not in two cases give the number OF
grain elevators. 1t says of Ipswich,
Edmunds county. and of Eureka. Nc

THE STATE

Hudson Hudsonite: Those Pierre
papers who are bowling so dismally
about Mitchell and US Mitchell fell
lows knocking the state are certainly
hard up for argument, and are GER
tainly getting back what they had to
expect when some time ago they
started to send out boomers reports
about that section of the state. No
one is trying to knock the state and
they know it. South Dakota is a
state replete with possibilities. It
has resources immeasurable, some
yet to be discovered, others needing
only time and capitol to develop. No
Get Of men is more loyal to our great
commonwealth than the newspaper
men Of the state. But when your
Pierre boomers try to make them be-
lieve 9 lot Of %nonsensical stuff about
how the population is increasing out
there and how the land will grow as
much corn and grain as the county
east OF Hughes county, they are SIM
ply trying to make a lot Of intelli-
gent people believe something that's
hard to swallow. We simply claim
that Mitchell is in a better location
Tor the capital. She's in the center
of the heavily populated portion Of
the state and always will be, for it
is a statistical fast that the ratio Of
increase in population in the eastern
part of the state is many times
greater than that Of the middle and
west of the Missouri portions. You
never hear those Pierre boomers tell
Of the trainloads Of immigrants who
are coming to locate in the eastern
tier Of counties Of the state this year.
You can only hear Of the fellows
Who aye filing on claims in Hughes,
Presho. Pratt and other counties.
That's all right let them take their
homesteads. But how many of them
live on their land and how many are
just simply land grabbers? How
many Of them just go out there three
or four times during the fourteen
months residence required before
final proof ..can be made on their
~homesteads, stay over night in their
shanty, hire some fellow to put up a
few rods Of fence and pillow a few fur
rows, and who many 90 out there
and lived during the entire fourteen
months?
Why is it that land, millions
OF acres of it to be had for
the expense of homesteading.
