After Timber,

G. w. Potts, = travelling land
agent Of the Northwestern railroad
company, was in Lead last week for
the purpose Of looking the prospects
Of securing some of the timber in
that vicinity. The plan is to secure
timber and interest parties having
mills to locate here and manufacture
lumber for the retail trade, and in
this manner secure the shipping con-
tracts. Mr.. Potts went from there
to Casper, Wyo., and will look up
timber tracts in that country for the
same purpose. It is an assured fact
that several mills will be5erected iL
the near future between Belle
Fourche and Casper.

A Black Hills China Boy.

Wong Hong Quong. son OF DR..
Wing Tsue, who is the head of the
Chinese colonyi in this city, has just
returned from Hong Long, where he
has been attending the Queens col
lege. He was born in eadwood
twenty-one years ago and has spent
most of his time in the Black Hills.
His father is wealthy both il
Chinese goods which he sells to
tourists, and in mining property.
Wong Hong Quong will take Q
course in the School OF Mines.
He tells an in nteresting story about
the boycott Of American goods in
China. He states that this boycott
is growing worse every day not
~ithstanding the reports published
in this country to the contrary.
Frequent meetings are held in
Shanghai and Tien Tsin and Pekin
for the purpose of stirring up the
matter. At Canton notices have
been posted up all over the city de-
nouneing the Americans on account
of their refusal to admit Chinese
immigration into this country.
Wong Hong Gu ing states that
the Chinese government does not
contenance the boycott, but it is i'm
possible to check the feeling among
the different classes Of people. He
asserts that the Japanese are back
ing up the Chinese to a great extent
in this boycott. They are urging the
Chinese to continue to discard
American goods for their own per-
sonal reasons. The Japanese peo.
pie, according to this Chinaman, be-
lieYe that il will not be long before
America will exclude from immigra-
ton the Japanese laborers from the
United States the same as the Chin
ese. Asshort time ago q ship load
Of -four arrived from New York and
was offered at q very cheap price,
but there were no Chinese buyers.
Wong Hong Quong was in China at
the time that Secretary Taft made
his visit and he states that the
i u.
Chinese were in no way pacified by
the secretary's statements. TIC &c
worst boycott is in Shanghai and
Tien Tsin. Wong Hong Quong
states that the only way this boy.
colt can be broken is for the United
States to admit the Chinese immi.
grafton, which the Chinese people
do rot expect to happen. ssa !.

Will BUILD A BIG PLANT.
HOMER CHARLES WILL MANU-
FACIURE HIS OIL ENGINE
PLANS ARE NOW PERFECTED
The Wonderful Oil Engine Will
Work d aRevolution in Gasoline
and Kerosene Engines

Orders for the Charles Oil Engine
have been coming in SO fast that it
has been decided to start i'm
mediately, a temporary shop and
turn out q few of the wonderful
engines to meet the calls that have
piled up for same.
1t was thought by Mr.. Charles
that it would not be necessary for
him to turn ont any OF the engines
until he had his immense manufac-
turing plant constructed that will
be under way in few weeks. All
the details that are necessary for
the completion of one of the largest
manufacturing plants in the west
are well near completed and Mr..
Charles will soon have in readiness
a plant that will rapidly become
famous throughout the country and
do more to adveltise Rapid City
than any other industry that we
can possibly have on account of the
wonderful success of the engine that
will surely work a revolution in the
use Of gasoline and oil engines.
Up to the present time Mr.. Char
les has gave little or no information
in regard to the plant She win con-
struct, but shortly the entire plans
will be made public. This plant
will mean more to Rapid City than
many anticipate. Mr.. Charles has
asked no bonus of the city or the
Commercial Club as she does not
wish to feel that he is under obli-
cations to osanyone for any favors.
The plant will be 9 big thing for
Rapid City and 5Mr. Charles should
be encouraged in the enterprise.

The Downie-Wrlghts Sell Out,

The following from the Pioneer.
Times is self-explanatory:
The Advance Machinery company
of Deadwood, Of which the Downie-
Wright company Of York, Neb., and,
Mr.. Fred Nash Of Dead wood, are the
principal owners, has purchased the
entire plant Of the Downie-Wright,
company, located at York, Neb., and
will ove.the plant to Rapid City,
where it is expected that it will give
employment te about two hundred
men.
The company has spent some time
in looking over the available sites in
the Black Hills for the location Of
their plant. It was their earnest
desire to secure q location of suffi-.
cient size in Deadwood. Among the
offers which were made to the com,
pany none were more advantageous
than that made by the Deadwood
Business Mems Club, But the site
offered by them, while satisfactory
in almost every respect, was yet
lacking in this: that while it would
be sufficiently large for the next
year or two, it was notlarge enough
to peovide room for the increase of
the plant which will become q nee.
cessity at the end Of that time.
Under these circumstances the COM
pany reluctantly decided that it
could not except the offer of the.
site in Deadwood and was Obliged to
purchase ground in Rapid City
whore easy access can be had to the
two main railroads Of the Hills, and
where sufficient water is available
to furnish ample power to operate
the plant. &.
At Rapid the expenditure Of .
small sum Of money will equip q
water power sufficient for the COM
pany's needs, thus enabling them to
manufacture machinery at . mini
mum cost. AS q result Of o large
portion Of the money invested in
machinery by the mining men Of the
Hills will be returned in the form Of
wages. The principal Offices Of the
COMPANY will remain in Deadwood

sheep and wool industry is now the
leaGing industry of the state.
According to the statements Of @.
w. Weidler, of Billings, q sheep man
who done considerable business in
sheep deals this season, there are
few or no sheep for sale in the state,
he having just arrived in Great
Falls from the northern part OF the
state after having failed to make a
purchase. Mr.. Weldler was on the
hunt for sheep to be shipped into
Colorado and, alter making exten-
sive inquiries, was unable to locate
a single band which was on the
market. During the past season
hundreds of thousands of sheep'have
been sold and shipped out Of the
state and estimates have been made
that these shipments from northern
Montana alone have reached ,OOO.-
600 head. of which it is believed
about 200, 600 have been shipped to
the southern part Of the state while
the remainder went into other
states to the eastern markets. Tn
the lmonth of October alone, ac-
cording to the government inspec-
tors reports, over half million
sheep were shipped out of Montana.
and it is conservatively estimated
that the shipments from the state
from Nov. 1, 1904, to Feb. i, 1906.
vii! aggregate at least l,6OO,0UO
head. Many experts do not be-
.,ieve there has been any decrease
in the number Of sheep 10 the wes-
tern states, holding that Montana
is the only one aof the Territories y
in which there has been q decrease.

TO OUR NEWSPAPER FRIENDS.

AS you know, the Salt Lake Route
owing to unprecedented storms in the
state of Nevada, has been washed out
since March the 2Sth, The exact dis
tance of track destroyed by the food
was 1876 miles. Fortunately, no pas
senger train was in any way involved
for which we are thankful, but one
train of oranges got stuck between
two of the washed out portions, and
after remaining at this spot for some
thing like nine days, was released and
got to Chicago in good state of pres
ervation.
Meanwhile thousands of Greek, Jap
and American laborers. with pile driv
ers. derricks, steam shovels and
teams, We're hurried to the scene oi
the disaster from both ends, Los An.
geles and Salt Lake City. Friendly
railroads at both ends kindly came TO
the assistance of the new line, and
the result was that in sixteen DAYS ali
of this damage was repaired whereby
record was made in railroad recon
struction
The Salt Lake Route is now pre-
pared To handle its regular freight and
passenger traffic, and Shrine specials
contracted for will be handled through
