EXPANDING ENpENDIruEEs.

The platform OF the Democratic rarity
nd pied last year at St. Ions declared
that large reductions could cusily b.
made i'll the annual expenditures OF
the government without mpairing the
efficiency OF any branch Of the public
service. Had that party won the late
election it would have insisted upon the
s~trictest economy and frugality com.
patible with vigorous md efficient civil,
military and naval administration rs
Il right Of the people too clear to be
denied or withheld.
More than a year has passed since the
above declaration was made. Tho
government receipts for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1909. were SJl3.010.OU0
aud the expenditures S2i 900, coo IL
excess OF that enormous sum. Under
the high tariff the receipts We're $1,000
900 greater thar in the preceding year.
Huge sums were received from the in
tcrnal evenuc taxes. Tho expenditures
were greater than during any year in
tho history Of the country il I've except
1899, when the war with Spain was III
progress. Since the close Of the last
fiscal year the expenditures exceed the
receipts in u much greater proportion
than during the preceding twelve
month.
Tho country rejected tho pledge Of
tho Democratic party for st~sici,st
economy and frugality, and tho federal

IN November, proceeded on Its curcCr

a strong educational system for the
Methodist church in South Dakota.
The representatives Of the church
and many outsiders were exceedingly
cordial and expressed their profound
confidence in the future Of Mitchell
and its University and confidence In
its management. Congressman Mar
tin and DR.. q. b. Clark, the Black
Hills trustees OF the University, are

large stage, which will be 39x56 fee,
and 81 feet high. The new building
is l25xl42 feet in dimensions, a thiro
larger than the old structure, and its
highest point at the top of the cen.
ter tower is 80 feet. The building is
placed on a stone foundation. and II
Is constructed with special care te
strengthNto sustain the greatest pos.
siele weight. In the balcony and
lower floor over 5000 people can be
seated and the patrons will be taken
care OF with g.eater comfort than
ever before.
Col. a. Robe has a large force Of
men at work decorating the outside
OF the building and the architectural
design makes the building easy to
decorate in more artistic figures, and
as a result the exterior will be more
handsome ely decorated than everrbe-
fore. Great qan5ities of corn, grains
and grasses have been hauled to the
building waiting to be used for--dec-
orations.
For the attractions this year Sor-
rentino's Banda Rosa, which made
such a fine impression on the people
of the northwest two years ago at the
corn palace, has been re-engaged for
the week, and each afternoon and
evening he will present music of..the
most enhancing Character. The last
half of the program will be devoted
to producing the most attractive pic
lures Of the Resurrection of Christ,
scenes that are painted on canvass
30x4C feet. The band will play the
accomplishments for the four noJed
singers from New York, who will
sing the music as written by Perosi.
There will be some street attrac-
tions that will equal what was shown
a year ago, and they will appear
morning, afternoon and evening.
Governor Elrod has accepted an in
vitation to be present on the after
noon, Of Sept. Is and deliver the
opening address.
The county exhibits of the products
OF the soil will be one Of the inter-
esting features and fourteen counties
will show what has been grown in
South Dakota this year. The rail-
roads in the state have granted a
rate of one fare for the round trip to
Mitchell and the Milwaukee and
North Western roads have arranged
to run special trains to Mitchell each
day from various points in the state.

Beginning with Friday morning
two new rural mail routes will be
established out Of Mitchell in a south
and southwesterly direction. Route
No. 2 will cover the territory
through Posper township, and No.
8 will pass through Lisbon township
and enter the city through Beulah
township. On route 2 a population
of $50 is served and the Garner will
travel 291s miles each day. On route
3 500 people will receive the benefit
of the rural service and the same
distance will lie travelled by the car
rier.
at some Of the points on the routes
farmers have not placed their mail
boxes for the reception of mail. On
der the postal law governing the rur-
al service it is absolutely necessary
for the patron to place a mail box to
be entitled to the service. Without
it nothing will be delivered at his
residence.
Sunday Post master Bras received
the appointments for the two routes.
No. 2 will be cared for by A. B. Nc
Keel and No. 3 viii be Travelled by
Frank G. Bates. The salary Of the
rural carrier is 1920 perry year and they
have to furnish their own equipment.
With the establishment Of the ru-
raj service The Daily Republican will
add a large number OF new subscrib-
ers to its list, the route having been
covered some time ago in the inter-

President Thomas Nicholson re.
Gently returned from a somewhat ex-
tended trip in the Black Hills
country. While there he visited all
the leading Hill towns, spoke in
Deadwood and Lead and delivered a
course Of lectures before the Confer
ence in session at Spearfsh. He also
delivered the. Conference Epworth
League address and preached in the
Speaffish Congregational church on
Sunday morning. This is the. church
of which Rev. d. r. Tomlin, so long
pastor in this city, is pastor. DR..
Tomlin was in California at the
time. They are pleasantly located
and popular with their people.
Dr.. Nicholson reports that the
Black Hills people are very confident
that both the Milwaukee and the
North Western will build into the
Hills from the east part of the state
during the next year or so. The
mining interests are rather dull Just
now, but the agricultural regions are
increasingly prosperous. In the
Spesrfish Valley there is a great fruit
region and it is becoming a veil es-
tablished fact that many sections Of
the Hills, when irrigated, will grow
fruit equal to the best which Colo
RADIO produces. Already the industry
is Immensely profitable %in..various re-
gions. The grain crop is heavy and
there is a great deal of excellent
timber.
The Belle Fourche irrigation pro-
ject is being pushed to completion
and 10000 acres Of this newly irri.
gated land will be under cultivation
by July 1t next. Within two years
the government will have 100, OO(
acres open for settlement and this
land will soon be worth 500 an acre
1t is marvelously productive and
fruits, vegetables, ETC., can be raised
with very large profit. The Doctor
thinks the future of the Black Hills
