FIND IT PAYS TO SEEK SETTLERS
Revival OF the Demand for an immigration Bureau for the State
OF South Dakota.

The greater gain in North Dakota's
population when placed in compari-
son with that of South Dakota, for the
past fifteen years and since the separa-
ton into two states, is being made the
subject of discussion as to the reasons,
and the revival of the demand for an
immigration bureau for the state.
North Dakota has looked we'll to this
line of work, and, moreover, the two
great railroads which cross the state
keep in existence working immigra-
ton bureaus of their own. The result
is shown in the census figures. Every
legislature which has been asked to
assist in this line of work has refused
to consider the proposition, and moth
ing has been done. Real estate men
in Northwestern cities outside the
state, when asked why they turn their
clients to North Dakota instead of
South Dakota, frankly say that it is
easier to induce men to go to a state
which is assisting them in their work.
The complete census figures for
Beadle county in South Dakota, shows
a total population of 1O,054, of which
5,455 is male and 4,599 females, and of

RAMER WAS DARK HORSE.
New Superintendent Of Public Instrue.
tion Was Not Active Candidate.


tion Was Not Active Candidate.
Prof. M. M. Ramer, until recently
principal af the city schools at Mitch
ell, received his appointment as sup
e%rintendent Of public instruction, to
fill the Vacancy caused by the resig.
nation of Hon. George w. Nash, who
was appointed to the position of pres
ident of the Aberdeen state normal
school.
Prof. Nash's resignation takes eff
feet Sept. 1.
Prof. Ramer's appointment was
made by Gov. Elrod after a due con-
%sideration of the candidates for ap-
pointment and he was selected strict
ly on his merits as an educator and a
man equal to the position which he
| will fill. In the names that have been
suggested as candidates for the ap-
| pointment Prof. Ramer's name has
never been mentioned. Prof. Ramer's
appointment is charged up to Grant
county, where he taught for several
years.
Prof. M. M. Ramer was born at
Lewiston, Mimi, Feb. IL, 1859, and
accompanied his parents to Tower
City, N. D., in 1880. He began his
studies in the common schools and
later took a course in the normal
| school at Moorhead, Mimi, attending
a Baptist college later in North Da-
kota. He began his teaching career
In the country schools of Cass county,
North Dakota, in 1873, where he re-
manned for five years. He was then
called to the schools of Big Stone
City, S. D., in 1898, and after serving
there a period of time he was elected
superintendent of schools of Grant
county, which he held for four years,
the limit under the law. From 1902
to 1904 he was the principal of the
| schools at Milbank, where he made an
unqualified success of his work.
Last year he was secured by the
board Of education of this city to &C.
cept the principalship of the Mitchell
schools, and the year he has been here
has demonstrated his great worth as
an educator, and he was re-engaged
for the ensuing year. In January he
was elected to the position Of presi-
dent of the South Dakota Educational
association.
Prof. Kramer is what might be term
ed a self-educated man. His schooling
days were necessarily limited and his
attainments have been wrought out
by a steady application to his books
during the long hours of the night,
devoting himself as%siduously in better
fitting himself for his work. For all
the sacrifices he made in his younger
days he said he found it paid in the
long run to be faithful to a task. Prof.
Ramer stands high among the educat-
ors of the state for his thoroughness
in all his work and for his splendid
capabilities. His appointment to the
position is satisfactory in educational
circles.

GREAT OVATION TO PRESIDENT
Warmly Greeted by Abstainers and
MineWorkers.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. II. The
president Of the United States, who
came here yesterday and made an adj
dress to the delegates attending the
annual convention of the Catholic To-
tai Abstinence Union of America, was
given a most enthusiastic reception.
In fact, the entire trip through New
Jersey and Pennsylvania to this city
was a series of ovations. But his
greatest ovation was in the Wyoming
valley, where he spent four very busy
hours. The entire valley from Schick-
shiny to Pittston took a holiday to do
honor to the president. Mr.. Roosevelt
was in great good humor and enjoyed
the day as much as the most enthusi-
astic total abstainer and mineworker.
Wilkesbarre was dressed for the oc-
casion. The greatest crowd that the
municipality ever had within its con-
fines was in the city, and it is estima-
ted the visitors numbered upward OF
200, 900. The president arrived at 8
o'clock and was driven directly to the
speakers stand on the river
Besides the president, those VINO
spoke were Cardinal Gibbons, Mayor
Kirkendall of this city, John Mitchell,
president of the miners union, n the
Rev. J. ]. Curran. After the exercises
the president was driven abon the
city, going to the Wyoming monument
and from there to Pittston, where he
boarded his special train and left for
Chautauqua at 1920 p. m.

days than was even Deadwood in the
last decade.
Hot Springs, too, will notice a few
changes, but they will be of a different
character. Hot Springs is more of a
fashionable gambling place than are
the typical mining towns. The number
of summer tourists at the Springs af.
fects the character of the camp there
considerably, but it will not be behind
in the movement. Rapid City will see
the least change of any, but neverthe.
less will enforce the laws. All these

will continue to keep the lid on.
