said. Big crews of engineers were hur-
ried into the field like skirmish line
of an advancing army. Levels were run
over an old survey, changes were made,
permanent stakes driven from Pierre
up the sinuous valley of the Bad, across
the divide to the Cheyenne valley and
up a creek valley to the divide again
where 1t followed Box Elder creek to
Rapid City.
Forthwith the drama of pioneer DAYS
was on at Pierre. Homesteaders chose
and filed on their claims, returned to
their homes through eastern South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Iowa. Illinois and the
east and soon the cars arrived loaded
with lumber and cattle and furniture.
Then the : historic Deadwood trail
west from Pierre began to TEEN with the
wagons and the herds of those going to
a new home further west" Each day
the numbers grew larger. When spring
arrives the Deadwood trail will see new

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
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, 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 "the cattle
range"
Little has been known, except to the
cattleman and the sheepman, of this
great region of prairie butte, valley
and river course. 1t was first mapped as
part of the "Great American DESERT" Of
which so much already has been trans
formed by the entrance of the railroads
and the multitudes of pioneers they al
ways bring and usually precede. Nearly
all of the region is certain to be settled
upon and put to use.A
However momentous in the history of
Dakota are the extensions now under
construction and proposed by the Chi

is hard to find even now. There still are
a few "cow punchers" who cling to the

is no Colt in holster on either hip.
There still are, however, hundreds of
cow punchers of less dangerously
equipped type, quite as fearless Of man

more lawless days. They had life Of

The sudden dash which the two rail-
roads are making, with graders camps
strung up the White and the Bad riv-
ers, will completely change the South
Dakota map. 1t also will transform "the

A luxuriant fashion for house wear
is the lingerie petticoat of wash-silk.
1t is strictly for house wear, being too
soft to hold the heavier skirts out

such as are favored for negligee dress.
A white silk petticoat with full lace
edged founces is lovely, much prettier
than muslin; it does not cost a
great deal more, either, and will wear
well. The silk underslips worn with
lingerie waists may be made in white
or colors, and there are several ways

II is, perhaps, best to say that in
every respect-china, cuisine and at
tendants, the dining car service of the

the luxuriousness of the remainder OF
this regal train, and has won, as the
dining car service has always helped
to win, the title "The Comfortable

his meals A gentleman who recently
made the journey to the Coast from st.

speaking of the dining car service, said:
II have travelled on almost every inn
portant railroad in the United States,
but have yet to find one which sur
passes the ''Oriental Limited" in the

excellent, the equal of any service in

THE BRIDGE TO THE RANGE

For a score Of years a pontoon bridge DER
the murk Missouris tide
Had echoed to the tramping hoofs from the
cattle empires side.
There, Tapped by swirling waters, it had
borne the herds to rail;
Had blistered in Dakotas sun or strained
to sudden gale.
But now the row of messy boats has yield
ed to railway span,
For a tale of wealth in the range beyond
was told by the trampling clan!
30 now with rails men bridge the stream
cross Dakota's great divide,
Twixt realm of farms and sturdy towns
from the rivers eastern side,
To west where Craze by thousands, In
great meadows, lusty beeves,
And where for leagues the mourning wind
through demonstrated grasses
grieves-
'Tis thus the railway dares to go before
cen the pioneer
Who will fence and plow in the virgin sod,
their hasty home rafters rear!
For years, beyond the floating bridge, blue
rooted by prairie sky,
The hills and wales were one time trod by
the bison swarming by,
A million hoofs were wearing deep the
trails across the range,
And oft was known the Midnight ralu,
with bloody deeds and strange!
But bark! The blow of ringing spike
sounds knell to the ranchman's peace,
That Dakotas empire of grain shall grow,
and the old free range days cease!

Rev. i. +. Goodwin, for the past
year or two rector of st Matthew's
Parish, Protestant Episcopal church,
which includes Oakland, Deer Park
and Swanton, left this morning for
Stark. Florida, to which place he has
been called by the Bishop of Florida
and elevated to the position of arch
deacon, a position ranking next to
that of Bishop.
The well wishes and affection of
Mr.. Goodwin's many friends accom-
pany him to his new field of labor.
In token of the esteem in which Mr..
Goodwin is held by his congregation
in Oakland and other congregations
in the Parish the following paper was
adopted at a meeting Of the Vestry
held in Oakland yesterday.
The Vestrv of st. Matthew's Par
ish, Oakland, Maryland, this eth day
of September. 1905, in special meet
| ing assembled, aware that their faith
full and esteemed Rector, the Rev.
Leslie E. Goodwin, feels required by
sense of duty to larger obligations
| torellnqulSh this charge in conformity
| with limitations as understood, here
by record their unfeigned regret, and
to some extent voice the prevailing
sentiment of the Parish at the sever
ance of relationship so pleasing to
the NestrY and so prosperous to
| the church.
With every difference of opinion
happily merged in the widest aims
for Parish advancement, with every
debt liquidated, with resources null
! tiplied, with the church and rectorv
freshly painted and so improved as to
be more beautiful and attractive
than ever in their history, and relig-
lous fellowship stimulated and eX-
tended, the Nestry are silent in the
presence of accomplishments speak
ing for themselves.
In the moment of farewell such
truths soften the pangs of parting
and deepen and senrich much that is
most sacred to memory.
In leaving this pastorate of meagre
bounds for distant and more extend
ed field, in which his ripe usefulness
in holy things with distinguished
qualities of preacher and administra-
tor will find fuller scope and more
abundant fruit, Mr.. Goodwin takes
with him our deepest confidence, our
amplest affections and onr humblest
prayers.
Mr.. Goodwin is succeeded as Rector
here by Rev. George G. Shaw, of
Wheeling, who will occupy the pull
pit on Sunday next. Mr.. Shaw is
known by the congregation he comes
to serve, haYing spent several weeks
in Oakland during the spring and
and preaching a number of times.

DR.. Benz. F. Selby, of Oakland, was
painfully injured Tuesday night
about ten o'clock by his horse run
ming away and throwing him from
the vehicle to which it was attached.
In coming toward Oakland the
horse stumbled near Oak Hall and
in doing SO disarranged some of the
harness which allowed the vehicle to
crowd it and caused it to make a
bolt. Dr. Selby succeeded in getting
control of the horse however when it.
started to kick and again bolted.
Near the turn of the road at Broder-
lexis ice house the doctor was thrown
into the road and fell upon a rock
with his knee which caused & dislo-
cation and probable fracture of one
of the bones.
Shortly afterward the injured man
was brought into town and taken to
the McComas Sanitarium where he
received surgical aid and is resting
quite easy today.

hours on account of a freight wreck
ahead. While lying there Bradshaw

screw one of them had obtained in
some mysterious manner. Flynn
had his feet through the window of
the car and was preparing to jump

the cuffs replaced. Another attempt
to escape was made at the Harper's
Ferry tunnel where they had sue
ceeded a second time in picking the
lock and before the officers succeeded
in replacing the irons on the men

sued. The men finally consented to
be handcutTed and no more trouble
was experienced, the prisoners being
