reforms the new minister for education
will have to place before parliament,
must be one freeing it from that inau-
ence and placing it on an entirely secu-
lar basis. My knowledge of MI. Berg
leads me to say that, if anybody is able
to do this, he is, because he is man
with a thoro knowledge of the need of
this and without fear or vacil!ation.
There is another remarkable thing in
his nomination. and that is that the min
ister for education is also the minister
for the church. He is chief of the de-
partment under which the church with
all it's dignitaries are placed. Fancy
plain board school teacher and an ut:
ter radical to be set above the mitred
heads of; all the bishops and the other
dignitaries of the church of Sweden! Is
the world coming to an end?
There is still another thing that
makes Mr.. Berg s accession to this high
post Of state remarkable occurrence.
He belonged to those who most, ardent
ly insisted upon a peaceful solution Of
the union difficulty during the stormy
days last summer. For this he was
most unscrupulously attacked not only
by the conservatives and the profess
sional chauvinists, but also by such
pseudo-liberals as the Aftonblad, which
journal did not hesitate to proclaim him
during the election campaign. this fall
as almost traitor to his country. AS
you know, the Aftonblad did not score
q single victory, and Mr.. Berg was re-:
turned with a slashing majority. Still
1 the word 'unpatriotic''' was flung at
\ Elm by 1nanystwho ought toaknoW bet-3
ter, because he is one of our best pa
triots, who has all his life worked for
thoro and sensible education of the
generation to come. And now he is to
advise King Oscar on this subject.
DR.. Bergstroem Another Radical.
The other member Of the new cabinet
who is the most radical exponent Of the
peoples will and hopes is Dr.. David
Bergstroem. Hes sits in 3the cabinet
without portfolio, as specialist on the
franchise question: If. anybody in@| this
country has thoroly prepared himself
for such position, tits .:Bergstroem.
Almost all the preparatory work for the
last fifteen years in this direction has
fallen on his shoulders. He has worked

speaking, writing, getting up petitions

= About the other members, there IS
not so much tossay now. Fhey#are, Of
course, all liberals and adherentsto Mr..
Staaff' s policy. The minister Of war,
Colonel Tingten, had the same posi-
tion in the Lundeberg cabinet. He is
considered a. CLEVER officer of reform
tendencies. Of the minister for the
navy, Rear Admiral Sidner, I know less
than of any other members in the cab
met. He is a bluff and hearty sailor
and we'll liked in his profession. The
minister of finance, Mr.. Biesert, was
Mr.. Staaff's colleague in the Lundeberg
cabinet, where he held the same port
folio. He is an ardent liberal and in
civil life proprietor Of large paper
pulpmill. The minister for foreign af-
fairs, Baron Trolle, belongs to one of
our oldest families, and is known as
diplomat, Of THE modern school, and
certainly much inclined to make neces-
sary reforms in this, our most anti
quated department Of state.

! to each rider to endure the pace he at
times may "hit' in the "circle" or cline
riding" of each day. A hasty meal three
times 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 dozen to twenty
mess wagons with riders with each
wagon and with riders ''reping" (rep-
resenting) other brands to the number
| of 30 or 40. The movements of the "gen-
eral roundup" are therefore ponderous
and not unlike the movements of an
army. a..
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 cattlemen.
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
fences. One could ride a week across
this pasture. 1t is several days journey
from the home ranch buildings-a log
house, log Office, corral and store house
Ito the "east pasture" it is an equally
long journey from the south to the
north fences.
The day has come when knowledge
of farming where the rainfall sometimes
is but 20 inches. knowledge of stock
breeding and sheep feeding will be more
requisite on the range than quick eye
for the &c cross" brand on bunch OF
stray horses or for the Flying "" or
''Midiron" on running steer. The day
has come when the ability ITO ride any
thing on four legs" will not be priced so
highly as ability to husk corn like a
human tornado.
The railroads paused on the border of
the range until the time was ripe to
cross, and now the road ranch may be

the Bismarck and the Deadwood trails

the rolling prairies of the divide"
The covered wagons, like the prairie
schooners which crossed the great
American desert" in the fifties and six
ties and seventies and those which
reached eastern South Dakota in the
eighties will lumber, creaking, slowly
on their way.
There is the herd of cattle from some
farm home further east, driven by the
father or son on horseback. There is
the wagon with child faces peering from
the canvas cover, and the mother among
the swathed furniture piled within.
There is often woman driving the la
boring team. So, too, there is the Sec
ond wagon loaded with farm machinery
and tools, with an excited flock of chick
ems in big wire coop. Roped on behind
maybe is the baby cab. There are sacks
of seed and some pigs.
But always there is the determined,
anxious face. The young man and his
bride may be going to home "ahead of
the railroad" hopefully, bravely, but
their faces tell the pain of partings and
self-denials and new hardships. The
tenant farmer may be taking his family

The other evening at the theater we
were lucky enough to light upon a
regular grand opera audience, wom-
en- in bravest array. And they added
greatly to the picture of light and
beauty; we felt like giving them a
vote of thanks. Let us see if we
can remember some of the costumes
in detail.
There was one lovely wrap Of rose
colored broadcloth made kimono style.
The charming girl that this adorned
sported hat Of pink panne all be-
pluned in pale pink feathers, the
plumes the only trimming, wreathed
over and around the hat. Her wrap
just escaped the ground, the neatest
of pale tan suede slippers were dis
closed
Another costume of marked elegance
was of black panne, suit with blouse
jacket. This coat had waistcoat of
white broadcloth, almost entirely yelled
with bolero front Of heavy cream lace.
A very little exquisite gilt embroidery
on the black panne cleaned near the
shoulders, gave the final modish
touch needed. The sleeves were ell
bow length, ending in frills Of the
rich lace. The hat was perfect, a
largish black panne turned up sharp
ly at one side and dropping low at
the other. The sole trimming on
the top was a band of gilt-the kind
that costs money-wound about the
crown and tied in bow with long
loops extending lengthwise Of the hat;
under the brim, of course, on the
turned-up side, was a mass Of black
plumes. A muff of black and brown
fur-Hudson bay sable-completed the
toilette. The girl had brown eyes
and hair, was tall and well rounded,

adventure, hardship and freedom which

adventure hardship and freedom which
is quite apart from the commonplace ex-
istence of milking ten cows and plow-
ing in the east 40. There is among
these high percentage of the stuff OF
which heroes are made.
These cow punchers of the Dakota
range find conditions changed, but they
still "ride their line" Centaur-like by
day with lariat at saddle horn. and
stand night guard for two hours to hold
the punched cattle against stampede or
storm. The unseen prairie dogs hole
turks for his pony's leg, the wild ride

bank" over which he and his horse
tumble headlong. His tarp and a
"sugin" or two may serve for a bed
when the ground is cold and wet and
there is no mess wagon within a half
days ride. But he shows the stern il
usually rough stuff of hero when he
crawls out of a steaming bed with the
mercury at zero and blizzard whipping
the mess tent, that he may stand his
guard two hours in the cold.
From the day in early spring when
the roundup wagons start out, perhaps
toward Twin Buttes in the cut bank
country of Butte county, or down the
White river to the Bad Lands, his life is
a hard and busy one. The night is not
gone when the roundup cook calls the
men. 1t requires from 10 to 20 horses

PASSING OF THE UNFENCED RANGE
The Building of New Lines Lures the Pioneer.
Revives the Scenes of Early Days and
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-
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
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 shout
ders.
Intense excitement prevails in the
Black Hills and vicinity over the I'M
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
tiers fences.
Suddenly Northwestern officials an
nounced that 100000 tons of steel for
track and bridges had been purchased!
