The losses have, indeed, been
severe, but the cattlemen seem to
take it with good grace Us major
ity, while some are discouraged and
intend going "into sheep" now that
prices are good. Cattlemen. that are
experienced and have grown old on
the range see the fallacy of switch
ing from one to the other in cattle
and sheep raising. The moment
that sheep look good and cattle have
a dull market, the ones afraid rush
over to an industry that perhaps
they know nothing of ana make
failure out of it, and in time turn
back to cattle. The experience of
many here that have done this very
thing should be an example to those
who are discouraged now. Natur-
ally the outlook for cattle seems bad
for many, and sheep are bringing
inflated prices that look good to cat.
tie failures.
Mr.. Morrow says that last year
he shipped cattle, good two3 and
threes, that brought him 1913 a head
on the Omaha market, and the very
same cattle the year before could
have been sold here for exactly the
same price.
The same experiences we're so
numerous last year that cattlemen
are commencing to thinl: that cattle
are gone as a money maker, but we
do not believe this. We believe that
cattle will bring q good price this
fall from the information we have
from Omaha and Chicago. Govern
ment investigation of the beef trust
will in itself put the price of cattle
up, If nothing more, and these con,
ditlons will be made permanent
Those of US who attended the meet
ing OF the stockmen here in Apri
quite agree, we think, that the day
of inflated prices and quick fortunes
in cattle is passed, but there will
be good, steady profit. and careful
business management will mean
success in that field, and money fol

RAPID CITY CLUB READY FOR
GAMES.
PROMINENT CATTLE MAN TALKS
Tells Of Live Stock Losses in tho
Recent Storm-Boef
Prices.

Wednesday evening a meeting of
the baseball enthuiasts was held at
the Harvey Hotel and many issues
were discussed pro and con.
The meeting was called to order by
I hartman Chas. Garfield with Fred
ID. Lake as secretary.
A name was decided upon for the
ASSOCIATION and in the future will be
known as the Rapid City Athletic
Association.
Board OF Directors-W. Z. Brock
EFT, Peter Sweeney and Chas. Can
field.
Trsasurer-Chas. B. Hunt.
Secretary-Fred D. Lake.
Manager Ball Team-John P Nc.
Elroy, Jr.
Official Umpire-Fred H. Rugg.
Official Score Keeper-Dr. F. N
Emrick.
Mascot-Jack McElroy.
Mr.. McElroy then made a report
OF the subscription list that was cir
culated and something over $4,000
was guaranteed each north for the
the three months OF June. July. Aug
ust. The list was turned overto the
secretary to collect each month anC
the meeting voted him salary O.
s5 90 per month as the collection O.
this money would take some little
time and expense.
The question of building a fence
around the ball field was discussed
and it was decided that if enough
money could be raised by selling ad
vertising space on the fence to loca
and foreign merchants the fence
would be built at once. The mana
ger was instructed to write the
different commission houses doing
business here and call on the loca
merchants for subscription.
The matter of picking the player.
for the ball team this year was lef
to the Board OF Directors and the
Manager who met Thursday nigh,
and the forms OF this paper were
closed to early too learn the resul,
OF the meeting. At any rate, the
question OF joining the league will
be taken up and disposed with anc
a number OF players will be picked
To. day there will be warming
up" game on the grounds and all who
anticipate playing baH at all thi.
year should be out.
Perhaps the most important Issue
was that OF joining the Black Hills
league. The rules OF the league now
say that the visiting team is to be
pain $25.O0 by the home team anG
the visiting team to pay It's own. ex
penses. From the fact that the re.
ceipts from ball games are not as
large here as in other towns in the
Hills. the clause seems to give the
Rapid City team the. worst Of the
bargain and it was decided that tho
Rapid team would join the league
providing that the gate receipts from
each game we're equally divided and
team pay its own expenses. This
seems to be fair and square pro
position to the other teams of the
league and if followed will undoubt
ly prove a successful point.
The meeting then adjourned til
the call OF the Board OF Directors,

No one connected in any way with
the Union office will have any voice
or vote in the contest and com
mittee Of three prominent Penning~
ton county women will, on the last
day OF the contest, canvass the
entire vote to make sure no error
has been made in the count made
from week to week bJ the publishers
of tnis papcr. The names of these
Judges will be published in an early
issue of the Union. These gentle
women will all be chosen outside of
the towns-n other words the
country people, who are our chief
supporters, will be the ones who
will sec that The count is made cor
rectly.
Nearly all modern business men
conduct their business affairs on a
twelve-mohth basis. That is, at
the expiration of each business
year general inventory is taken
and the affairs for the year are
| balanced.
The present proprietors of this
paper assumed charge on the first
day of July, (19o3) and conse-
quently July Ist, 1905 will mark
the end of our business year-the
second.
In order to show some slight
appreciation of the patronage we
have received, we have decided to
inaugurate unique and interesting
contest, that will result in some
Pennington county girl receiving
absolutely free handsome and
valuable solid gold watch.
THE PLAN.
"The most popular girl in Pen
nlngton county is the young lady
who will get the watch, and our
subscribers, who are naturally the
most intelligent in the community,
and are therefore the best able to
judge, shall decide who is to own
this beautiful watch. Only legiti-
mate cash subscribers to the Union
may vote, and the winner of the
prize must have a plurality of the
vote cast.
To all vino pay money on sub
scription to the Union from now
until July 1st, 1905, shall be en-
titled to votes in the contest at the
rate of one vote for each cent paid
in on Subscription. In other words
anyone who pays one year in ad-
vance, cash price s1.5o, he or she
will be entitled to $50 votes, and SO
on.
THE WATCH.
The watch which was purchased

sons store where it may be seen
and examined. 1t is richly en-
graved, 14-carat solid gold, hunting
case, genuine Hampden move-
ment, and fully guaranteed in
every way by Mr.. Swanson.
The winners picture will be
pr nted in the Union as soon after
the contest as plate can be secured
and the Union, Of course, will pay
all costs OF photograph, plate, etc.
The results of the contest will
appear each week in the columns
Of the Union.

The Child Disappears.

Mention was made in the last
GAZETTE to the effect that as the
result of a suit recently brought
in the Linn county court, by John
Senger and wife, of this city, for
the care, custody and maintenance
of their granddaughter, Wilma
Ruth Warren, the judge had
granted their petition aud decreed
that the child be placed in their
charge. In the light of past
events the following from the AL
bany Herald will be of interest:
Wilma Ruth Warren, the lit
tie girl over whose control and
possession the two sets of grand
parents recently fought in the
county court. has been removed
out of the jurisdiction of the
court according to reports brought
to this city. by the sheriff yester-
day. Judge Stewart decided the
habeas corpus case IN favor OF the
grandparents on the deceased
mothers side, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Senger, and ordered the
sheriff to secure the child from
the tather's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Warren and place her in the
care Of the Sengers. When the
sheriff reached the Warren home
Yesterday the child could not be
found, and the grandfather stated
that she had been taken away
during his absence. The father
of the little girl is supposed to
have taken her to relatives in
the state of Washington.

!. Q. 4 6. FIRST.
Takes as Many Points as All
Other Colleges Combined.

Smithson and Williams were
respectively first and second in
the 1oo-yard dash last Friday at
the Fair in the games for college
athletes. Corvallis made great
showing-she took 32 points
against U of o 10, Idaho 8,
Columbia 6, Whitman a and
Pacific 3. Corvallis certainly has
earned great reputation this
year. She has gained this repu-
tation because she has accom-
Iplished great athletic feats fairly
and honestly. The events of
Friday were as follows:
1OO-yard dash-Smithson, OAC; Will
liams, OAc; Kelly, G U; time 10 seconds.
One-mlle rnn-Edmundson, Idaho;
Matthews, Idaho; Gates, P U; time :35

On Saturday the great event
was the half mile run and Ed
mundson, of the University oil
Idaho, made a new Northwest
record. 1t was a neck and neck
race between Edmundson and
Greenhaw of OAC from start tc
finish, the former leading slight.

Smithson won the 22o-yard
dash with Williams second. In
the relay race OAC won easily.
Swami, of OAC, took first in the
pole vault, making 10 #. 6 in.
That Greenhaw should not have
taken the half-mile was disap-
pointment, but can only be ac-
counted for on the ground thai
he was not at his best, for he has
gone under the time made down
there a couple of seconds. Il
was great race anyway. OAC
easily walked off with the honors
on this occasion, as she took A:

81 perfected his defenses and anx-
iously scanned the ocean for sign Of
friendly smoke or hostile sail. This re-
spite would not have been given to
him were it not for the lucky bullet
which removed two fingers and part Of
third from the right hand Of the
Dyak chief. Not even a healthy saw
age can afford to treat such wound
lightly. and ten days elapsed before the
MANNED robber was able to move the
injured limb without curse.
Meanwhile each night jerks slept
less soundly. Each day his face be-
came more careworn. he began to
realize why the island had not been
visited already by the vessel which
would certainly be deputed to search
for them. She was examining the
great coast line Of China and Siam.
It was his habit to mark the progress
Of time on the rudely made sundial,
which sufficiently served their require
ments as a clock. Iris happened to
watch him chipping the forty-fourth
notch on the edge Of the horizontal
block Of wood.
"Have we really been forty-four
days here?" she inquired after count
ing the marks with growing astonfsh-
ment.

he said. "The Sirdar was lost on the
18th Of March, and make this the 1st

'1t seems to be a tremendous time;
indeed. in some respects, it figures in
my mind like many years. That is
when am thinking. Otherwise, when
busy, the days fly like hours"

When the urgent necessity for con-

to exertion during every moment OF
daylight, they tackled the box of books
and read, not volumes which appealed
to them in common, but quaint tones
in the use Of which jerks was tutor
and Iris the scholar.
1t became a fixed principle with the
girl that she was very ignorant. and
