COMPANY TO BUY CAPITOL LAND.
Plan to Prevent Delay in Getting
Funds.

At a meeting in Pierre, attended by
the leading business men of the city,
it was decided to take definite action
toward securing the necessary cash
by sale of state building lands to Sc
cure the required $15O,000 for the
erection of wing of the new state
capitol
1t was proposed that company be
chartered under the state laws, with
P. F. Mcclure A. Ewart and c. c.
Bennett. the presidents of the three
national banks in the city, as the dl-
rectors, to issue stock to the amount
of 100000 for the purchase OF $4,000
acres of lands The amount appropri-
ated for the construction of the wing
is S150,OO0. The amount on hand be-
ing $4,000, the amount OF capital OF
the compan yis just the amount re-
quired to be secured through sales.
While it is not likely that just at
present $4,000 acres of this land could
be selected which would sell at $40
per acre LOT cash, SOIllG VI IL Noulu
go at that figure, and more if time
could be allowed as in the case OF
the state school lands. A company
could take the whole amount and put
up the cash, and sell the land on
terms which would allow them to get
out on the deal, while the state, not
being IL condition TO give terms, could
not make the sales.
If the state board attempted to sell
the land on terms, the probabilities
are considered against their disposlng
of enough to secure the fund neces-
sarv before contract for the work
can be made, and such action would
only result in piling up whatever cash
was realized in the state treasury,
where it would be of no benefit to the
state or the building fund, until the
full term had expired on which sales
were made Such action would also
delay the work for several years,
while by certain sale to a company,
the new building can be completed by
the first of January, 1907.
The fund on hand now will be put in
the foundation, and will be used at
once for that purpose, while the mon
ey from the land sales can be used in
the construction work next year, and
the building pushed to completion.

cation Of the movement. in SO far as
it relates to Minnesota. among China
men. who, it is said, are being drilled
and armed for service IN the Chinese
army under the direction of Kang Yu

Complaints that Cinnamon are being
drilled in violation of law were filed
with the governor yesterday by res
ident Of st. Paul, whose name is with
held. The complainant says that
Cinnamon are being drilled in the
large cities in the United States by
the former minister, and the natural
inference from the complaint is that
the movement is backed by the Chi
nese emperor. The letter to the gov
ernor states that the Cinnamon are
drilled three times a week, and that

Thouui,t She Couldn't Live.

Moravia, N. Y, June 5.-Mr. Benja-
min Wilson, highly respected resident
of this place, came very near losing
his wife, and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude
knows no bounds. He says:
MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 130 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 1910,
is we'll and feeling stronger every
day.
"She used to have rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone
too.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

BRIGHT OUTLOOK ON THE ROSEBUD
Eight New Towns Government Sites Are in Thriving
Shape-The Progress They Have Made

vide between the POnca creek on the
SCUM ard the Webstone on the north.
Burke has had a steady growth and is
the second town in size on the Rose
bud. 1t has the second bank, newspa-
per and drug store that were estab-
lished on the Rosebud. Burke has a
fine future before it.
Gregory. situated thirty-fve miles
northwest Of Bonesteel, is the princi-
Eal town of the Rosebud. Surrounded
by a rich agricultural district and COM
manding trade for many miles in all
directions, and but five miles from the
Tripp county Indian lands. which are
dotted all over with large cattle ranch
es giving a big support to the town.
Good soft water in an abundance is
gotten at a depth of fifteen to twenty
five feet in the town of Gregory. All
lines Of business are represented.
There are three good hotels, two
banks, five general stores, two grocery
stores, one bakery, two hardware
stores, one meat market, two lumber
and coal yards. three livery barns, one
furniture store, three saloons. four
blacksmith and machine shops, one
drug store, two newspapers. two jew
elry stores one photograph gallery,
two BARRIERS, two doctors, one attorney,
a United States commissioner office,
ard several land agents; regular
church end Sunday school, a good day
school (the first on the ROsebud), en-
ploying two teachers. The plans are
out for a twO-stOry stone school house.
As there is an abundance of fine build
ing stone within two miles of town,
stone buildings are the cheapest.
Such are the developments in eight
short months. The cOlty yerting of
bleak, un;nhabited scope of wild land
over which the Indians roamed and
the wild birds built their nests. into
towns and fine farms and houses.
Wonderful is the work Of man.
The town of Gregory has a popula-
tion of 500. 1t has had no boom but
steady growth and by fall will be dou-
bed in size and business enterprises.
A leading feature is progressive com
mercial club, which looks to the inter
est of the town and all individuals
wishing information as to prospects OF
it's business future. Government lots
can still be filed on and secured with
out living on them.

so NEW TELEPHONE COMPANIES

The reports coming into the Office Of
the state auditor for assessment pur-
poses show that over fifty new tele-
phone companies will be placed on the
tax lists this year. These lines are
mostly small mutual or farmers lines,
which are being rapidly threaded all
over the state, putting the different
farming communities in connection
with the towns at which they do their
marketing. The telephone is becom-
ing not only necessity to the whites
but to the Indians as well. A private
line has been installed at Leslie, on
the Cheyenne river, which is being
extended from ranch to ranch, princi-
pally on wire fences, and one branch OF
It runs a distance out into the Chey-
enne River reservation for the use OF
the more progressive Indians as well

Cruelty" she said, "is lack Of

savages are cruel. All people without
developed minds-capable of sympathy
are cruel. Children, till they have
learned to think, are cruel invariably.

she said. ITO this little boy there was
given two images Of plaster coated on
the outside with pink sugar. He want

grown up people. Day after day he
asked is he might not eat the images.
Finally he had young friend, Richard
T,owe, to spend the day with him, and
of the images had disappeared.
His mother, nearly frantic, rushed

BUSY TIMES At BELLE FOURCHE
Work Is Progressing Rapidly the Irrigation Proec-The
Magnitude of the Project Becomes More Apparent.

The magnitude Of what is known as
the Belle Fourche project is becoming
more apparent every day as the camps
of the graders are being established
along the line of the big ditch. Car
loads of cement and other materials re-
Quired in the dam are coming in and
immense steam shOvelS are being TAX
en- out to the location. Belle Fourche,
as result Of this activity, together
with the natural advantage in a busi-
ness way. is experiencing boom such
as this part Of the country has never
known before. Raymond f. Walter,
the engineer in charge, has been on
the ground for some time, and says
that he expects 500 men and several
hundred teams will be employed be-
fore the summer closes. BY year
hence he expects fully COO men to be
at work on the bitches and dams in
connection with this project.
The diverting dam will be on the
Belle Fourche river about one mile be-
low town 1t will be 43 feet high and
400 feet long, of concrete with steel
controlling gates, sluice gates and
bridges. 1t will form a lake Of 200 to
300 acres, backing the water up nearly
to Belle Fourche.
Portland cement will be used in the
construction Of the diverting dam, and
ten car loads Of this have already ar
rived. The cement is manufactured at

Yankton. About 5000 barrels will be
used on the diverting dam alone, and
from Is, 900 to 10000 barrels will be
used in the construction of the storage
dam.
The ditch from the diverting dam to
the reservoirs will be sixty feet wide
at the top, forty feet wide at the bot
tom, and capable Of carrying water to
the depth of ten feet
Some of the heaviest work in the
way of excavation will be along this
main ditch, one cut being forty fl We
feet deep, and it is in this that the
heavy steam shovels will be used
Wherever the canal crosses the coun-
try roads already established, steel
bridges will be Iut in By the govern
ment
Not all the contracts in connection
with this project have been let. In
fact, the greater part of the work will
be in the construction of the great
storage dam and bitches leading from
it for the distribution OF water over
the country to be irrigated.
Advertising for bids on the construc.
tion of this portion of the work will be
done in about month, and it is ex
pected the contracts will be let about
the first of August. The reservoir dam
will be 100 feet high and one mile
long. 1t will form an artificial lake
twelve miles long. capable of holding
246, 900 acre feet Of water.

After considering several sites. it is
announced by w. B. Davenport, indus
trial commissioner of the Sioux Falls
board of trade, that site has been
selected for the Independent packing
plant which is to be erected in Sioux
Falls by local capitalists.
A company with a capital Of $780,
600 was recently organized. The ca
pacity Of the plant will be 1000 hogs
and in the neighborhood of 200 cattle a
week to start with This will necessi-
tate the employment of about fifteen
men. AS business warrants, the ca
pacity Of the plant will be increased
and more men will be added.
The work of constructing the plant
will commence at the earliest possible
moment, the intention being to have it
completed and placed in operation the
latter part OF the summer. The plant
will be erected on what is known as
the old linen millste, on the Big Sioux

The future prospects of Gregory
county are exceedingly bright. An
abundance of rain has fallen, a large
acreage of land is being broken and
planted.
Already the sod crop is looking fine.
This land which in August, 1904 was
a wild, devastated plain, now shows
the thrift and energy of its settlers.
All over the country good residences
have been erected, barns and outbuild-
ings show the handiwork of man.
Stock raising and dairying have not
been overlooked. This country is one
of the best grazing sections of the
state; great abundance Of grass and
hay is found all over the Rosebud.
Various towns have sprung up as
follows: Eerrick, Burke, Gregory,
Carlocll, Edens, Dixon and Wade, all
of whicn are government townsltes.
Dallis and ST Elmo are two private
towns, all situated on the famous

but few buildings, but is surrounded
by a beautiful country and is sure OF
success. Dixon is located in the north
part of Gregory county on Bull creek.
