MONEY! MAKER.
The Creamery Business in South
Dakota Has Lifted the
Mortgages. a.

De Smet dispatch, %: The creamery
industry of South Dakota notwithstand
ing the strong competition of the cold
storage houses which have been estab-
lished in the larger cities of the north
west is in a very prosperous condition,
and there Is every indication that the
season now opening will be one of the
best since TIE industry was established
in the state.
C. p. Sher wood. the retiring food and
dairy commissioner of South Dakota
recently produced figures to show that
South Dakota now ranks twelfth among
the dairy states of the union in quanti
ty of product, but in quality no other
state surpasses it. South Dakota butter
has Ebody" which will stand more
heat by 10 or 12 degrees than the butter
produced in any of the older dairy
states and still be in good condition. 1t
is also fact that TO produce the best
results South Dakota cream must be
churned at temperature higher by
several degrees than in other states.
The high quality OF the butter pro-
duct of South Dakota is attributed to
the excellence of the grasses upon which
the dairy herds feed The broad prairies
of the state are covered with nutritious
grasses which retain their nourishing
qualities and are relished by cattle at
all seasons of the year Because of
these favorable conditions the question
of how to obtain feed for the dairy
herd has been easy of solution.
Since the farmers of South Dakota
turned part of their attention to
dairying, the raising of corn and other
coarse foods has been more fully devel-
grown in parts of the state where few
years ago it was deemed impossible for.
it to mature because of the comparative
shortness OF the growing season and the
coming of early frosts.
1t is conservatively estimated that
the dairy industry of South Dakota an
nually brings the state revenue of not
less than So, 900, 900.

To the Editor Of the News ana Cou-
rier: Charles B. Ren. native Of your
State, dropped dead in TINS city on
last Friday evening about O'Clock
Yesterday his remains were laid to
rest in the Mountain View Cemetery
BY his loving comrades of the Sterling
Price Camp OF Confederate Veterans
of which ne was, and long had been, an
hcnored member. His many friends
here have no knowledge Of his kin
dred. if any he had, in South Carolina,
nor do they know the district or
county in that state whence he came
to California. All they know of him
is that he was gallant Confederate
soldier and fought under the banners
Of Lee from the first battle Of Ma
nassas to the fated surrender at Ap-
pomattox.
It is believed that Comrade Bell
was a member Of the famous Hamp-
ton Legion. His untimely death is
sincerely lamented here by wide
circle of friends outside of his Con-
federate comrades, while those who
fought with him in the same glorious
cause experience a grief too deep for
tears.
To the end that his surviving rela-
tives and friends in his native State,
if any there be, may learn the story of
Mr.. Bells death, will you be kind
enough to publish this letter, and
oblige yours truly.

Dear Col. Walsh:
I send you a clipping from the
Charleston News. If this is our Bing
Bel I think some one ought to testify
to Bell being a good soldier. Well do
remember on the retreat from Rich
mond at Farmville, having seen with
my own eyes Bell with forty picked
men under the gallant Dobey from
Camden hold in check Sheridan's s
cavalry for more than an hour until
the bridge could be destroyed. They
were complimented ~ Gen. Fitz Lee
for gallantly and later in the day I
saw Bells horse killed under hira. I
have seen him tried often and stood
shoulder to shoulder With him on
more than one battlefield. Hoping
dear Colonel that time is dealing gent
iy with you. 1 am yours truly,
