ANNUAL MEETING
Continued from Page One.)

led by Mr.. and Mrs. Morris,
Joseph Greenberg, Ed Swandel
and Rev. and Mrs. Case. After
the feast the happy pair were
presented with the bedroom set
which the St. Joe street mer-
chants had offered as prize to
the couple who would be pub
licly married. The credit for
the unique ide of a public mar
riage belongs to Abner Mosier,
who did much to make a sue
cess Of the event.
Miss. Zella Cramer, the bride,
is a young lady well and favor
ably known here, where she
has lived from childhood, and
has a host of friends. Mr.. Will
lis Smith, the groom, has lived
in this city for some years. He
is a worthy young man. The
young couple will go at once to
housekeeping.
The attendance at this years
meeting was not as good as last
year, owing to lack Of proper
advertising and rather common
place attractions. If we do not
give the public an interesting
program we can not expect it
to spend it's money with us.
Outsiders seem to think Rapid
City is big enough, great enough
and rich enough to put on a
glorious list Of real attractions
for the three days stock meet
ing that would draw the people
from all over the west. When
our own people wake up to this
we will accomplish something
of the kind, and it will pay and
pay big. Until we do realize
our own natural advantages,
our splendid opportunities and
our abilities, our annual cele-
brations will continue, we pre-
sumo, to sort Of drag along in a
more or less lifeless, haphazard
manner.
The truth in this case is dis
agreeable, but the sooner we
realize it the sooner we will
frouse ourselves and put forth
efforts in keeping with our capa-
bilities and our splendid oppor-
tunities,

Municipal Ownership

Huropite: The city of Bro okings
has had wider experience in NUM-
cipal ownership than any city in the
northwest That enterprising city
owns it's water works system, it's
electric light plant, its telephone
system and acentral steam heating
plant.
The receipts for the year past
from the water rents amounted to
$4,785.69; expenditures, s3,l6O.l6;
surplus, s1.625.93.
Telephone receipts were 81, 1897;
expenses, $4,l44.04; surplus, So,
625.93.
Electric light receipts were $l3..
465.97; expenditures, $ll,91l.95; sur.
plus. 81, 1892.
The operating of the heating plant
showed a loss of $3.50.

the year we're S., 276.38. besides pay.
ing from these earnings interest on
the entire bond debt of the city,
which amounts to $50, 900. In other
words, public ownership reduces
the general tax of that municipality
to almost nothing.
1t is interesting to learn from
these figures that the telephone r..
ceipts in Brookings almost doubles
tho receipts for water rentals
Brookings pays twice as much fol-
the luxurious use of telephones thar
it pays for water.

MINING NOTES.
CLARA BELLE.

The hosting plant OF the Clara
Belle company was destroyed by
fire last week, and development work
at the mine will necessarily be sus-
pended until it is replaced, which
will be Immediately The Clara
Belle property is near Oreville, in
Pennington county, and the mine
ranks among the richest in that sec
ton. The shaft is 260 feet deep,
and up until a short time ago "a
Tremaine mill had been operated
with success on the reduction Of the
ores.
y couple Of weeks ago it was de-
cided to install a plant for the re-
duction of the ores that would make
a closer saving than is possible 10y

order to thoroughly test The ore and
decide upon the exact proper mill
method to be embodied in the new
plant, a shipment of 100 tons of av-
erage ore was being gotten out TO
be consigned to one of the Denver
metallurgical works. This shipment
will, of course, be delayed. The
company has announced that it will
Immediately replace the destroyed
plant.

the Gopher to handle the ores of

The Custer Peak Mining company

home; but farmers houses without
trees are like shoes without stock
ings, like boots without straps, like
meals without drink. Farmers homes
without trees are only stopping
places. The latent influences of trees
are refining, civilizing, ennobling.
Without them, summer is 4 barren
existence, and winter q bleak and
unwelcome guest
Secretary Wilson's forestry bu-
reau recommends the following trees
for South Dakota: White spruce,
green ash, white elm and evergreen,
and the writer of these lines recon-
mends the Carolina poplar. He has
been setting out these trees for six
teen years and some of them now
measure more than FIVE feet around.
They are being extensively planted
in cities and towns throughout the
United States on account of their
rapid growth. They are perfectly
hardy here.
Every farmer should plant at least
one row of willow cuttings from
east to west. They will soon grow
into a thing of beauty and will be
useful for wood, for windbreak and
for shelter for stock.
Too little time and pains are used
in setting out and caring for trees.
When setting tree, spread out the
roots to level with their starting
point at the tree and work the fine
soil in between the rootlets with
your hands.
A large per cent of all the trees
that will be set out in South Dakota
this season will be destroyed by
stock, etc, because they are not pro
tected by boxing or fencing.
The legislature recently passed
the Lightner bill, requiring trees to
be plan ted around each school house.
School officers, teachers and school
children are urged to do their full
shore to make the law success.
1t will be most pleasing to see the
little, white school houses OF our
state surrounded by green, thrifty,
growing trees, and let US hope that
the next legislature Will provide
that the flag Of our country shall
float from each and every school
house within the boundaries of our
common wealth during school hours.
Look at the picture: the little, white
school house in the grove of green.
adorned with the flag that Washing
ton designed.
In brief, citizens of South Oak ta,
plant trees. They will live and grow
| if properly planted and cared for,
blessing mankind after those who
have planted them have passed from
this life to the better life which the
All-wise Father has prepared for
His children.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal OF the state OF South Da-
kota to be affixed. Done at the cap

CITY ELECTION.

Oily ELECTION.
Calls Quiet Along the Potomac"
this Year.
The coming city election to
be held April Is, does not give
promise Of being a very excit-
ing affair. Republican Chair
man HALEY when interviewed
on the matter said there was no
particular issue at stake except
ing of course the always pres
ent one of party preference.
Aside from this, however, he
thought the reelection of the
present republican candidates
would be no more than a de-
serving compliment for faithful
and efficient service rendered.
Democratic Chairman G. l..
Wood was discovered in tran
quill mood and when the sub
ject Of the election was
preached expressed his belief
that the principal issue involved
was the fact that democrats al
ways were better officials than
republicans or anyone else for
that matter. Mr.. Wood said
that democrats never tell lies,
never steal and consequently
should be elected.
The removal Of the Riverside
school house will be voted on
at this election also.
The question of returning the
high school courses is up again
and while party lines are not at
all drawn in the matter, it will
have some effect on the result
Of the election. Our own be-
lief is that the high school
should be where it belongs-in
the public school. Without it
the high school is incomplete.
Our high school, we take it, can
not be made any too good.
Following are the party nom
inees:
