Helping the Town.

No town will become a good
business center as long as the
majority of its business men rely
on a few merchants to make the
effort to bring trade to town, says
an exchange. Too often the
man in the clothing and drygoods
trade are about the only one to
reach out after customers. Other
merchants wait until the enter
prising business man induces the
people TO come to the town and
content themselves with the trade
that naturally drifts to their
places. \ public spirited man
should ask himself if he is doing
his part to attract the people to
come to town. Any merchant
who induces people to come to
town is helping the entire com
munity and no town is a success
unless all lines are working to ex.
tend the trade as far as possible
and trying to bring larger terri
tory in the circle of which the
town is the business center.

with many favors. So has it
been IN Dakota. The men and
women who had the faith and
courage to stick it out have learn
ed the heart secrets of the mother
state and has given to them the
blessings of great happiness and
prosperity. She has taught them
the trick of the soil. Inch by
inch she has yielded to them for
fruitful agriculture until all of
her bounding domain blossoms
with rich harvests, or nourishing
pastures where uucounted herds
fatten on the lush grasses; and
where once the buffalo and ante
lope painted for water, there now
rush from her bosom many hun
dreds of never failing fountains,
feeding purliug streams and
beautiful lakes about which
spring groves to shade and COM
fort the land. Even her breath
once hot and scorching as a des-
ert wind, has become soft and
humid, bearing frequent showers
to refresh the earth.
In other words, forty years of
occupation and experience has
taught the South Dakotan how
to avail himself of the natural
conditions and to adapt his meth
DDS to the best ends and in this
age where material results as the
measure of all values South Da-
kota passes the supreme tests for
She yields to her people more per

To summarize III a paragraph
the advantages which South Da-
lSota presents to the honeseekers
it may be said that her soil is uni
formly fertile. producing fair re-
turns OF all field crops Indigenous
to the northern states. Wheat
growing is no longer a chief de-
pendence, though a good average
crop may always be counted on.
Corn is fast encroaching upon the
wheatfield with most advantage.

Gus results. Barley is a sure,
profitable crop of growing inn
portance. Flax is extensively
and proftably grown. Hay and
fodder grow in prodigious guam
titles and find a profitable market
tor shipment. Dairying has revo-
lutlonlzed many sections and is
unquest1onably the coming great
industry of the state already ad-
ding ten millions per year to her
wealth. Cattle. hogs, sheep and
horses are turning thirty millions
per year into the Golfers Of breed
ers and feeders. 1t is the great
live stock paradise, for here
"a dollar a year will keep a
steer"
These are some of the material
advantages offered. On the
other side South Dakota offers a
highly developed citizenship,
fully organized for ali humanities.
Schools, churches, universities,
hospitals. Intelligence, sooriety,
morality, patriotism. Everything
which combines to make the home

After Forty Years.
Redfeld Press.

South Dakota is not longer an
experiment. More than forty
years have elapsed since the agri-
cultural population first came into
the state and the entire portion
east Of the Misrouri has been set
tied for more than twenty years.
The pioneer settlers were con-
fronted by new conditions. Many
of them, who came to Dakota as
homesteaders were factory opera
tives and tradesmeu, wholly in
experienced III agriculture. That
many should fail and give up in
dlscouragement was inevitabl
And, too, there were periods cal
cnlated to try the hearts of the
most experienced. Fire. flood,
drought, seem to be the portion
of the pioneer of every section
and South Dakota has been no
exception to the general rule.
But once tried out nature turns to
the pioneer smiling countenance

DELEGATES BANoue1ED.
Gathering in Denver Discussed Impor-
tant Western Measures.

Denver, Colo.-Colorado's congress
sional delegation was feted Sat
urday day night at the Brown Palace
hotel by the Denver Chamber of Com
merce and the Denver Real Estate EX-
change. The occasion was intended
as Il meeting for the purpose of dis
cussing the national Legislative needs
of the state and West and the occa-
sion was appropriate on the eve OF the
departure of the members for Wash
ington for the opening of Congress
All the members were present except
ing congressman Bonynge and Hogg,
who were already in the East.
kilograms of regret were read from
Congressman Bonynge. who is in New
Jersey; Senator Smoot of Utah, Con-
gressman Hoggs, who is in Washing
ton; Senator Clark of Wyoming, Con-
gressman French of Idaho. Senator
Dubois of Idaho, Congressman holland
and Congressman Hayes of California.
EN-Congressman John H. Shafroth
was the first speaker and he tcld OF
the needs of new federal building.
The receipts at the postofiice are $714,-
annually and the expenses $252.OOO,
clear profit to the government of half
million. To this must be added the
internal revenue receipts every year.
So inefficient is the building that the
government now rents in this city
three square feet for every one square
foot of floor space that it owns. He
urged that the commercial bodies send
delegations to Washington to back up
the delegation in its demands.
Gen. Irving Hale presented the ques-
ton of an enlarged military establish
mert at Fort Logan. He showed how
the day of small posts has gone, as
the Indians have gone. The policy is
now to house the troops near large
cities efficiently, comfortably and
economically. He demonstrated how
Denver offers the best facility for this
in the West.
Congressman F. f. Brooks re-
sponded to the topic of protection for
the Colorado sugar industry. He is
opposed to reduction on the sugar
tariff from the Philippines because he
believes in protecting the home indus
try first, no matter what we may owe
to any alien children that we have
adopted.
Senators Teller and Patterson made
forcible speeches in favor of these i'm
portant measures for the benefit of
Colorado.
Short talks were made by Senator
Warren and Congressman Mondeli OF
Wyoming who pledged themselves to
uphold the hands of the Colorado dele
cation and declared that they see the
justice of the demands for larger
government building and a better post.
General McCaskey gave some interest
ing data showing why the military es-
tablishment should be larger, and also
showed the vast sums that come to the
region because of the military being
located here.

Heavy Damage to Rocky Ford Sugar
Plant

Denver.-Rocky Ford dispatches tell
of heavy losses by n fire in the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar Company's plant on
Friday morning. The warehouse is
building 200x300 feet in size, with Il
fiat roof, which enabled the firemen
to fight the flames from that vantage
point by chopping holes in the roof.
through which numerous streams OF
water were run. the windows and
doors being kept closed. Seventy-eisht
thousand sacks of sugar. the run OF
forty-fve days, with value of at
least $430.00O, was stored in the build
ing. together with two carloads of I'M
ported beet seed, valued at 20 cents a
pound; along with 10000 bushels Of
oats. two carloads of sugar sacks, one
carload of burlap, etc.
The sugar which was not damaged
by fire WAS greatly damaged by smoke
and water, and a conservative esti-
mate of the net loss would be $250,000
to $500 900, all of which is fully COW
cred by insurance, the fire insurance
companies considering the companys
