STATE A GREAT WEALTH PRODUCER|
oou'h Dakota the Coming Corn Splendid Standing
OF Her Banks and Financial Institutions

After putting in five weeks in the
State of South Dakota, | feel that /
have myself pretty thoroughly posted
upon the possibilities of the state
from an agricultural standpoint as a
wealth producer. East of the Mis-.
souri, Yer in the State of South Dr.
kota there is not one active source
of wealth production other than the
farms. There are no mines east of
the river; there are no manufactures
other than few -four mills. and
these, OF course, are the result of the
farm. But when one visits the differ
ent little villages and the larger cities
of the state and posts himself upon
the banking conditions, he finds that
they are away in the lead of the older
settled sections of the country. For
instance take the bank at Andoyer.
little town of not over 800 people. The
bank is capitalized at $4,000, and at
the close of busienss on Jan. II, 1905.
its deposits amounted to $72,912.37,
nearly five times its capital stock. Its
loans and discounts amounted to STA.
14453, which is almost FIVE times it's
capital stock. Its cash on hand and
in the banks was $16,55471, which is
considerably above the 20 per cent re-
quired by the banking laws of the
state. There are in Andover perhaps
eight or ten different business men,
representing merchants of different
kinds, blacksmiths, hotelkeepers, etc
None of these men have anything near
enough capital over and above the
amount tied UP in their business to
make any such deposit showing in
the bank. There is no state money on
deposit in the bank. 1t is not United
States depository, and we therefore
compelled to revert to the only pos
sible source existing for this enormous
deposit, showing, and this is the farm.

RANCE HARD HIT BY JACK FROST
Much Young Stock Lost in Recent Snow Storm-Sheep
Men Look for More Prosperous Year.

AS reports come in from the west in
regard to the snow storm of last week
they show that it was the most severe
in every way for years. Coming as it
did in May, the loss was more serious
than it would have been with a storm
equally as severe in midwinter. The
loss is heaviest on colts, calves and
lambs, although old stock suffered
more than they would have in the
winter 81
The warm weather and green grass
had taken stock of all kinds away.
from the sheds and shelter and they
were thoroughly soaked and chilled by
the rains of the first two days of the.
storm, and were in bad shape to stand
the sleet and snow of the last day.
Reports have been received as far
west as the forks Of the Bad river, and
northwest to Haxby, on the Cheyenne,
and all are about the same. The snow
was more than a foot deep generally,
and in drifts six and seven feet. 1t
was so severe for time that those
who were holding their stoc kin sheds
hardly could get from their houses to
the sheds to feed, and it was utterly
impossible to go on the prairie to look
after stock running loose.

This ! know to be largely the case
from conversation with the president
OF the bank. This bank is located in
the northeast portion of the state.
Equally striking conditions of the
banks are found in Worthwhile, far
lher west and south; at Aberdeen, far
ther west; Chamberlain. in the south
west part of the state; at Canova. in
the southeast part of the state, and at
Huron, in about the central portion of
the eastern half of the state. In fact,
in every town that one visits he will
ind the same favorable showing on
the part OF the banks, and will also
find in every case that it is the farmer
who has the money on deposit.
Any OF our readers who are inter-
ested in agriculture must necessarily
see the phenomenal possibilities for
them in this state. There is one other
point that desire to make in this arti-
Gle, and that is that wherever have
accepted the advertisement of land in
terests in the state | have made it a
point prior to calling on them to look
up their standing from every possible
standpoint, and in every instance
those who are Offering lands in this
state for sale are men Of strict integ-
rity, thoroughly reliable, and men
who are anxious to do all in their
power to make any man moving on to
a farm in the state successful iii his
effort. Another feature which should
appeal strongly to the young man from
Indiana, Illinois. Iowa or Wisconsin is
the success Of the corn crop in the
state. Everywhere | have been corn
has been d sure crop. Of course, it
has been more thoroughly tested in
the eastern section of the state and
farther west toward the Missouri riv-
er, but I find that 1t grows success
fully everywhere | have been.-W. A.

STATE CAPITOL
Will Be Built to Conform to Montana's
Pattern,

Will Be Built to Conform to Montana's
Pattern.
Gov. S. H. Elrod Of South Dakota,
heading the state capitol commission
OF the state, has just completed an
investigation of the Montana state
capitol, and the one at Pierre will
probably be built along similar lines.
The other members of the commits
sion who accompanied Gov Elrod are
Land Commissioner c. j. Bach, Sec.
rotary of State D. d. Wipf and State
men were authorized by the last ses-
sion of the South Dakota legislature
to act as a capitol commission without
pay and will build the new structure.
The visitors were greatly pleased
with the Montana capitol, which was
built within the appropriation of half
q million dollars, made by the Montana
legislature, and will undoubtedly
build their own house along similar
lines.
The Montana capitol is built on the
lines of the famous state house at AL
bany and the one of smaller dimen-
sions at Des Moines, Iowa. It's exte-
rior is pleasing, while the interior is
a marvel Of convenience and ornamen-
tation. The ground and second floors
are devoted to state offices, while the
legislative halls are on the third floor.
The dome is surmounted by a sheath
of Montana copper.
Gov. Elrod's attention was first
called to the Montana capitol through
a picture of the building sent him by
Gov. Toole. Later Architect Bell of
Minneapolis, who was one of the arch
fleets who drew the plan for the struc-
ture and who was in Helena with the
South Dakota men, explained it's plan
in detail. The members of the South
Dakota commission came to the con-
clusion that here was a plan which
they might well follow. Their visit
has confirmed them in this opinion.
IF the people of South Dakota"
said Gov. Elrod, could see this build
ing | am sure they would want one
like it Immediately. We will probably
build ours on the same model, with
some slight alterations. We will have
more money to put into the building
than did the State of Montana, as we
will not have to spend so much money
for grounds. We have a delightful To-
cation. 1t is on the third bench, and
will have a splendid outlook. The leg
islature appropriated $125,000 for the
immediate building Of one wing, which
will be part of the completed building.
The rest of the building will be con
structed from the proceeds of the sale
of lands, and in this way we hope to
keep out of debt. We will start on
the building this summer"
The South Dakotans were hospita-
bly, entertained, and on the last even
ing of their stay were the dinner
guests Of Gov j. K. Toole. The other
guests were the Montana state Off
Gals.
Gov. Elrod predicts the building of
many railroad extensions in South Da-
kota this year. He says the extern
sion of the Milwaukee from Chamber
lain is now an assured fact and it is
almost equally certain the Northwest
ern will build west from Pierre to the
Belle Fourche country. Many con-
Meeting lines will also be built.

MUST PROVE THEIR WORTH.
I Rosebud Girls Will Put Prospective
Husbands on Probation.

Husbands on Probation.
Because about 600 men of all ages
from every state in the Union want to
marry the 100 women who are eligible
for matrimony and drew homesteads
on the Rosebud Indian reservation,
the women have formed mutual pro-
tective society.
The man who marries into the fam
lily must show he is able to work q
farm and must put in whole season
at blowing, sowing and harvesting.
After he does all this work, for which
the object Of his affections receives
the reward, the applicant may be re-
jected if he does not please the owner
of the homestead.
But if his work has been we'll done,
If there has been no grumbling, if the
burrows have been straight and even,
then the man may possibly become the
possessor of wife and a quarter sec
ton Of good Rosebud land.
Miss Ruth Pyrfe, formerly Of Lin
coin, Neb., is president Of the society,
and Miss Estelle Sale, formerly of
Mexico, Mo-, is vice president.

Sheepmen are looking for a most
prosperous year this season Last
year the high price for wool at the
close of the season was between %
and % cents at this market, and this
year it will start at about that figure
and is expected to go higher before
1.-THE close of the season. The estimates
of. the amount of wool which will be
marketed at Pierre this year run as
/ high as 100000 pounds. While it
NAY not go to this mark the indica-
ttionst all are that it will go to larger
figure than ever before.
I Following the action on the part Of
Lyman county settlers to set aside the
free range law, coupled with the new
RAILROAD into that section, bringing a
large number of new settlers, the old
stqckmen of that country say in their
estimation the roundup OF this year
will be the last in that county. Range
papers generally are urging cattlemen
/ to al, Est themselves to the new con-
ditions and to prepare to pasture their
cattle through the winter, with hay
supplies sufficient to care for them in
severe weather. II is only a question
of time when all will have to come to
this.
