With the advent Of Easter there

The Death OF Christ: second, The Blu

II Christ. The death Of Christ as the
-edemption price for our sins. says
Peter, "Ye were not redeemed with
,orruptible things, az silver and gold
but with the precious blood Of
shrist"
The burial OF Christ as the casting
i our sins into. the sea Of Gods for
yetfulness,
The resurrection Of Christ. as the
eceipt, that our redemption has been
laid
The resurrection Of Jesus Christ is
he chief corner stone upon which Is
,uilt the Christian religion. IF Christ
be not risen then is our preaching
vain, and your faith Is also vain, yc
are yet in your SINS" The resurrec-
ion OF Calyary's Christ Is the proof

lever.

card that he does "blacksmithin" and

The run to this village was very
pleasant. Huge bonfires lighted the
way during the night and inhabitants
of the towns en- route staid up until
far into tire morning to cheer the
president as he passed through.
Accident to Train.
Near Basalt there was slight ac-

times may hit in the circle" or Zine

times a day and then to saddle or to
bed, with the night guard hours before
morning. that is the days routine!
With the fencing of the range the
general roundup becomes more difficult.
In the days of the few big outfits" and
fewer brands it was far more simple
Now there are often a dozen to twenty
mess wagons with riders with each
wagon and with riders '.reping'' (rep-
resenting) other brands to the number
OF 80 or 40. The movements of the gen
eral roundup" are therefore ponderous
and not unlike the movements of an
army.
At the general roundup now are
representatives of scores of individ-
ual small ranchmen. The winter may
have scattered the cattle from the
Grand river, near North Dakota, to the
Keya Paha river in Nebraska and all
the cattle must be found and each
brand cut OUT to be driven to his
summer pasture or to market. With
the influx of settlers, hundreds of new
fences will follow and the free range
will be restricted to ever narrowing
district, remotest from railroads.. All
this will still Iurther complicate the
''roundups" for the catt}emen
The biggest fenced pasture of the Da-
kota range now is that of the Lennon
outfit whose brand is "L7" and whose
pasture comprises $4,000 acres of
Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indian
lands. At times 10000 head of the ''L7''
brand OF steers have grazed Within it's

this pasture. Tt is several days Journey

Warns the Cowboy That the Free
Range Will Soon Be Ended

Homestake mine at Lead direct to the
state capital, Pierre, and to the lusty
towns and cities which have sprung up
on the railroad lines which for score
of years paused at the Missouri river.
Soon the coal in Wyoming will be sent
by direct routes to the stores and boilers
of the coalless regions east of the Mis-
souri,. Soon the long drives of sheep
and cattle from the ranches will be of
the past. The fenceless range is being
fenced and the roundups soon will be

The Milwaukee & ST. Paul has built
so miles of line west of Chamberlain.
Its line has been located to White Clay
Buttes. Its engineers are scouting for
a permanent line from White Clay
Buttes to the hills. 1t will be close to
the north wall of the Bad Lands, the
region of weird mystery to scientist and
to cowboy and Indian.
In advance of the trains over the new
lines hundreds or possibly thousands Of
new settlers poured through Chamber
lain during 1905. Some homesteaders
sold their claims and they were sold and
resold several times in many cases.
Other land, still opened to entry, was
filed on and claim shacks by hundreds
rose like mushrooms. Those who got
land plowed for crops harvested enor-
nous yields of corn, grain and vege-
tables from the new ground. Abundant
| rains aided the rush, for newcomers
saw wheat stand as high as their shoul-
! ders.
Intense excitement prevails in the
| Black Hills and vicinity over the un-
| certainties as to the route which will
| be followed. Will it pass the hills at
the north as the Elkhorn line of the
| Northwestern now does, or at the south
through valleys which the government
engineers propose to irrigate? That is a
| question.
The Northwestern extension came as
an abrupt surprise. Throughout the
summer the Milwaukee's work was be-
| ing rushed and hundreds of men and a
| track-laying machine were busy. 1t
| was believed the Milwaukee would only
| push a spur line to secure cattle and
sheep shipments beyond the zone of set

Suddenly Northwestern officials an
nounced that 100000 tons of steel for

will be 20 or more miles away, the school
will be perhaps miles for his children
But his square shoulders and calloused
hands tell how he expects to win the
means for future comforts, and he has
seen other new countries in 10 or 20
years transformed to prosperous farm
ing regions. And he plods resolutely on.
There is still another railroad line
which will enter the great region Of Da-
kOta west of the river" The officials
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
have said their line west from Aber-
deem in the northernmost tiers of coun-
ties would go west from Evarts, the
present terminus. At present a great
region comprising roughly 100000
acres. is closed to settlement of white
men for the Cheyenne and Standing
Rock reservations of the Sioux Indians
The allotment of these lands will begin
next spring. Each Sioux Indian will
choose his land. The amount of the
reservation remaining will be opened
to settlement. Some of the best land of
the range will thus be put to the white
mans use. West of the reservations
lies Butte county, a great empire in it
self, with Ignite coal for settlers fuel
and wide meadows for pasture and
farm.
So it is expected that the Milwaukee
will cross the reservation in an east and
west line to Wyoming and a junction
there with the Chamberlain extension
to and beyond the Black Hills
Therefore there now has begun the
transformation of that great western
half of South Dakota from Nebraska to
North Dakota and from the Missouri
river to the Wyoming and Montana
lines which so long has been 1.-The cattle
