trapped and 1t issaid that certain town

EDITOR COURIER:
Many of your readers. no doubt, are
quite we'll acquainted with this corner
OF the great state OF South Dakota, but
quite number have never seen The
Hills" For the benefit OF these this
letter is written.
saw statement In print recently
that tract one hundred miles square,
including the Black Hills, is the rich
est spot of earth of like extent--a
statement which, perhaps. Is not far
amiss of the truth.
This whole country resounds with
the hum of industry. Our little party
OF five Civil Benders are unable to
handle half OF the work that we are
daily offered, and wages are, We think,
extra good.
Now, in the town of Hot Springs,
where the government sanitarium Ii
being built, there Ii q demand for
two hundred to three hundred men on
the sewer work alone. This one job
will last ten months at $3.50 per day
OF nine hours. Board Is first class for
S5 a week., Our party Is cutting saw
logs at 25 per thousand, and cord
wood at Sl.25 per cord.
Hot Springs is, though small city
a great RESORT and IL, therefore, city
of hotels, one OF which, the Evans, is the
largest by far your correspondent ever
saw. 1t was sold few days since at
some sort of forced sale, / am told, for
$50, 900 cash. The medical baths are
another feature OF the town. One OF
these which we visited in February
when the weather was real cold, was
a little above blood heat. The pool,
covered by good building, is about
$50 feet by SO and from to 10feet deep.
A bath, including the rent of robe, is
so cents.
1t has been our pleasure to meet sew
eral people from Elk Point, and other
Union county points. Among these
are Mr.. Gorton, who once followed
the trade of carpenter in Elk Point.
Charlie Bland is hers some place but
we have not met him yet. We also
made the acquaintance of one Tom
Tate, who soldiered with J.. r. Wood
and asked to be remembered to all the
old comrades at Elk Point.
The hills around here are very rough,
but well covered with good timber and
the cattle range is good, cattle running
out here all the past hard winter with
out pound of hay or grain and no
shelter but the bluffs and trees. They
are looking as we'll now as cattle usual
ly do in Union county at this time oil
year. There are several homesteads
vacant yet from to miles from Hot
Springs, and good decided land can be
bought at $3.50 per acre. The climate
strikes US as being fine. Wheat SOW
ing is now In progress, and, although
it is showing today, 1t melts as it falls
and is starting the grass which begins
to chow green. G. w. POND.

STAND PAT AGAINST LuNAcY.

1t was way back in 1895 that the
Brookings County Press was mighty
lonesome among the republican papers
OF this state In its advocacy Of the gold
standard. The republicans of several
states had indorsed free silver; con,
gress was wobbly; some of the party
leaders wanted to straddle the ques.
tion, if not surrender. The republi.
cans OF South Dakota were inclined tc
60 astray. The Sioux Falls Press,
then the leading republican daily oi
the state, under the brilliant Caldwell,
was preaching cheap money and re-
pudiation. United States Senator
Pettigrew was throwing all of his in.
fiuence on the side OF the sawed-ofl
dollar, and the easiest position for re
publican paper in this state during
chose days was found with the crowd
shouting for populism.
Every week for a long time we read

saw Pettigrew leave the party at st
Louis and come home a hero in the es

saw the state 60 for Bryan and free
silver in 1896. We heard the victors
exulting over US, and experienced al
the joys and sorrows that go with the
situation. But that's not all, fol

So 1t will be with this primary elec

it that King Richard /. (1189-1199) sent

A novelty among the many new silk
velyets which have appeared on the
market is that adorned with an en-
bossed satin spot about the size Of
pea, which Is OF a somewhat darker
shade than the groundwork. In some
ceases it is OF quite different color
from the velvet and Is outlined with a
narrow rim Of white, which gives 1t a
rather curious effect.

"1 OOK here" said Mr.. Bowser
at dinner, as be gazed long
ingly around, ''but why Is 1t
that we haven't had a straw
berry shortcake 50 far this season."
"IIl have the cook make one for des-

Bowser. Last year you had so many
Of them that you got tired, and I
thought ] wouldn't begin on them too
early"
Next evening there was strawberry
shortcake after the solids had been
disposed of. Mr.. Bowser had been get
ting his appetite all ready for In hour
or two, and the cook had been old to
do her best. She had. She was a cook
who wouldn't take a bluff. When
Mrs. Bowser asked her If she could
make such a cake she hesitated for a
moment and then replied:

High Price of Vegetables.

From the high price of vegetables,
as we'll as other things, on this market,
one is led to believe they are scarce
because of a short crop. Such is not
the case by any means. One of the
largest truckers from the Fayetteville
section in the city this week, says that
the country is overstocked, but cannot
ship because of the excessive freight
rates. The consequence is thousands
of dollars worth of vegetables are go
ing to waste. The home market has
been high for some years and is grow
ing worse each year. One thing a
seemed strange to the average Dusl-
ness man, and that is why there are
not more truck farmers hereabouts

of half baked -four with a pint of
strawberries in the center of it. The
other pint she had eaten beforehand
for her share. Mrs. Bowser looked at
the monstrosity and turned pale. Mr..
ROWser looked at it and Numbered
out:
"Now, what in the name of the gold
en- bull is this?"
"It's-it's strawberry shortcake."
what! Mrs. Bowser, don't attempt
to pass off a block Of sandstone on me
for shortcake. This thing has made
its escape from some side show"
81 asked Anna if she could make
strawberry shortcake and she said she
could"
"And this is the result! By John,
but this is a fine run house! Such
things as this encourage ME to invite
company home to dinner"
Mrs. Bowser was mortified and in
dignant, but she spoke s%oothingly and
quietly, and by promising to make a
cake with her own hands for the next
dlnper she smoothed Mr.. Bowser down
after about half an hours work. When
he had gone up to the sitting room she
said to the girl:
anna, 1 thought you said you could
make a strawberry shortcake"
"And so I did, mum"
"And what do you call this"
"a strawberry shortcake for sure,
o-I oDo that would n,f tho q no Nf mr.
poor old father back ten years if be
could but taste it.. Did Mr.. Bowser
find fault wild it,"
"Of course be did. No one could eat
it. I shall make one myself tomorrow
evening, and I want you to pay par
ticular attention and see how I do It,"
"Ill do it, mum, but the idea that l
can't please Mr.. Bowser after pleasing
the highest gentry of Ireland hurts me
feelings. If I'd have known that he
wanted a rabbit potpie I'd have made
him one"
The failure of that shortcake made
Mr.. Bowser grumpy all the evening,
and during the night he woke Mrs.
Bowser up by e~xclaiming in his sleep:
by thunder, woman, but don't at
tempt any Of your little jokes on me!
l think l know a strawberry shortcake
from a cows hind leg!"
He was still grumpy when, be left
for the office in the morning, but his
face cleared a bit as Mrs. Bowser said:
"You may get your appetite all ready
for something good for dessert tonight.
I'll make a shortcake that will melt in
your mouth"
n fNmadiddles, now. I want an
old fashioned cake-one like our moth

"And don't trust it to that idiot of a
girl"
81 shan't. I'm sorry you were dis.
Aappointed last night, but everything
will be all right tonight"
The thoughts of the shortcake to
come nalowed Mr.. Bowser to the Office
and fingered with him all day. He
could have got something nice In that
line for lunch, but he waved 1t aside
and waited. Coming home at night on

DOING WELL
Big Salmon District Will
 Produce Much

The output of the Big Salmon dis trict will be greater this year than ever before has been the case with that district. That is the word comes from there and it comes through good chan nels. The J. Blick crowd, company composed of Northern Commercial Company people, whQare operating the claims that were purchased from the crown, are taking out, 1t is said, sl,OOO a day. Other companies are also doing well.
 Said this authoritively, who is inter- ested in the Nesutlin and Hootalinqua country the other day:
 "The experimental days of the Big Salmon district are over. It has been producing for several years but this year it will turn out a good lot of gold. In addition to Mir. Blick's company, Mir. P,ters' company is taking out lots oI gold and the company with which A, NJ. wallick, of Sksgway, is tcon- necte l is doing well. The latter com pany has excellent ground.
 "Work will be carried on in the Big Salmon district all winter this year. Last winter one man took out sS,OOO drifting and more of that will be done from this on now that it has been demonstrated that winter work is practicable. That will length the sea- son and result in the rapid development of the camp"
