STATES WEALTH GROWS
Corn, Wheat and Cattle Three Ele.
ments That HIVE Increased
Wealth of South Dakota.

Hebert Vanderhoof. a writer in
the Minneapolis Journal. contributes
an interesting article to that valu-
able paper for the northwest, in
which he sets forth some Of the
facts which have lead up to the
wealth producing features of this
great state. Below are given some
excerpts from Mr.. Vanderboof's
article:
Among the stars Respondent that
mark the flag Of u nation, there
is none that shines forth with stead
fast radiance surprising that repres.
enting the state OF South Dakota.
Forty-fve years ago Sorth Dakota
vas an experiment. Today she has
arrived and holds her head up proud
ly in the ranks OF her wealthy sister
states.
The history of the state is a grand
record OF ceaseless endeavor and tire
less energy as manifested, not only
by her first settlers, but those who
have since joined the onward march
OF her progress. Yet all Of this
logged perseverance and t~lreless
effort ON the part Of the home
seekers would have heen OF no avail
had not Dame Nature lent a helpiug
hand in the struggle. Without
water man cannot exist. and the
most fertile portions OF the earth
are unfit for human h%abitation.
But one need not 90 to the
trouble OF drilling an artesian we'll
i'm order to secure water supply in a
South Dakota homestead. Surface
wells can anywhere be secured with
in a depth varying from 10 to 100
feet. And in most sections you can
find good. pure water at a depth OF
twenty feet.

Dakota IRE especially alluring to

Wants to be at Corn Palace.

GeGdes News. We would like to
see Charles Min county represented
with an exhibit at the corn palace
at Mitchell this fall. We have the
products in abundance to make Il
fine showing and the small expense
would be as nothing compared to the
benefits derived there from. This
county had exhibits at Sioux City
years ago when that city had corn
palaces. We had exhibits there two
ditlerel t years aud the county was
greatly benefited. The same bcne-
fits would accrue from an exhibit at
Mitchell.

Fine Climate for Fruit.

There are nearly POO %creamerics
nov ia operation. and every condi.
ton is favorable TO successful dairy.

mission placing the value OF the
dairy prOGuct for the current year at
81. 0G0, 600.
Taking it all in all. Il volume OF
many pages could be written regard
ing the splendid resources of South
Dakota and the opportunities offered
to those who desire to grow up with
the country. Enough has been said,
OHeVer, to show the natural advan-
tageS of a state which has boldly
asserted herself and gained Il lead
ing place i'm tile Union during the
past few years.
The census OF 1905 gives South
Dakota a population OF 455, 1875. This
means six people to the square mile.
And what she chiefly needs is
thousands of new Corners who are
wise enough to take advantage of
the gracious gifts offered by her fer
tile land. Young America is answer
Ing to the call, and the consequence
is that the increase of population
and development of the lands as
sumed large and gratifying proper
tions during the past few years.
Factors in the States Progress.
There are two cases which, above
all Others, have contributed chiefly
to the brilliant success Of the state.
One is the rapid extension of the
railways. Covering South Dakota
with a network Of steel, they
furnish unequaled facilities in the
way OF transportation for those who
travel GRO the fertile valleys and
plains. The days OF the prairie
schooner are past, and the lightning
express thunders along Enthusiastically
where the SLOW creaking wheels Of
the emigrant wagon once conveyed
the homeseeker to his chosen camp.
he railroads have built more i'm
South Dakota than in any other
state in the Union during the past
year. For the magnates realize that
the even increasing traffic OF today
throughout the state in question is
nothing compared to what the
future will bring totth.

Summer Diarrhoea in Children.

During the hot weather Of the
summer months the first unnatural
loOseness of a child's bowels should
have immediate attention, so as to
check the disease before it becomes
serious. All that is necessary is a
few doses OF Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
followed by a dose OF castor Oil to
cleanse the system. Rev. NJ. O.
Stockland, pastor OF First NJ. E.

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for
several years and find it q very
valuable remedy, especially for
summer disorders in children"

There is q lesson in the work OF
the thrifty farmer. He knows that
the bright sunshine may last but a
day and he prepares for the showers
which are so liable TO follow. So it
should be with every household.
Dysentery, diarrhoea and cholera

the home without warning. Cham

eeeftc StOGN ralSeTS. The sc.
verify of The Winters has been ereat-
ly exaggerated. No better proof of
this statement can be had than the
we'll established tact that in tour
out of the past five yealS cattle have
been able to craze all winter On the
pralrisS. where they have not been
fed too close i'm the fall, and have
iIourished splendidly. The summers
are pleasantly warm and the falls
even in temperature.
Among the agricultural industries
the com crop occupies a prominent
place. The average yield for the
whole year in 1905 was upward OF
thirty bushels. And the marvellous
ly productive corn belt includes the
entire east half OF the state.
Wheat the Money Maker.
The wheat crop of South Dakota
has probably brought more wealth
into the state than any other and
tue profits therefrom have been of
Il size calculated to greatly encourage
the farmers. 1t must be rGmem-
bered that owing to the immense
acreage the land is not titled fol-
wheat as it ought to be, and that
wheat follows wheat on the same
land year after year. This condition
viii, OF course, improve quickly as
the homvSeekers, who are every day
becoming aMale OF the golden
chances offered them by the state,
come pouring in to reap the harvest
of the gifts the godshave bestowed
on South Dakota.
South Dakota sheep men run
largely to mutton breeds, as the
nutritious grasses aid in producing
finely Favored flesh. AS a matter of
fact, Dakota lambs always occupy d
leading place i'm the Chicago mar ket.
Wool OF a good staple is also pro-
duced, but at the present tune the
mutton breeds are most in favor.
Following the booming of the corn
crop, hog. breeding naturally comes
into evidence. Indeed the pork
making industry may he looked upon
as n OF vast Importance, contribut-
ing, as it does, SO, 900, 200 annually to
the state. Poultry growing has also
forged RAPIDLY to the front. The egg
and poultry product is worth So. OOo,-

congratuIates Supporters
"In conclusion we congratulate the
public spirited men and women who so
literally responded to our appeals for
financial aid. Unquestionably the
Fiesta Is one of the greatest factors
that advertise our climate, our re-
Sources and our rapid growth to the
world, but especially Is this true when
we are assured of the visit of tens Of
thousands of the most influential men
of the United States and Of Canada,
whom we expect during the month of
May. The people of this city should
realize that with these visitors It will
proclaim aloud and afar the fact that
the state Of California has survived the
terrible calamity that befell San Fran
cisco and that Southern California was
not harmed. We will have an oppor-
tunity to show our western spirit, that
in the face of the greatest catastrophe
we meet the future calamity and
courageously, and that we are always
ready to reconstruct where the hand
of fate has destroyed.
I'VE therefore appeal to the public to
show as liberal, If not more liberal,
spirit toward the entertainment of the
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine and the
Fiesta next year"

WANTS ACCEPTANCE OF
STREET WORK HELD UP
r. j. sTlLsoN PETITIONS THE

Says Improvements In Sumner Street
Are Cracking and crumbllng and
Are Detriment-Board of Public
Works VIII Investigate Charges

Fielding J. Stilson. who has been
stirring up considerable trouble for the
board of public works recently, yes
terday filed petition to the city coun-
ell appealing from the boards accept
ance of some street work on Sumner
place, where Mr.. Stilson owns consid..
erable property.
In his petition Mr.. Stilson has the
following to sayI
Property owners on Sumner place,
between Bellevue avenue and Sunset
boulevard, appeal to you In the ques-
tion of the board of public works of
this city in accepting the street work
which has lately been done on Sum
ner place for these reasons:
"First-That the cement work is of
an inferior quality and that 1t is al
ready breaking up, cracking and
crumbling.
"Second-That the contract itself
has not been completed for the reason
that the Los Angeles-Pacific Railroad
company is maintaining a spur track
over a part of Sumner place without
authority or right and that this part
of Sumner place on which the tracks
rest has not been constructed in ac-
cordance with the original intention
grade, nor with the ordinance. provid-
ing for the grading of the street.
"Third-That the portion of uncom-
pleted work is in bad condition and is
a detriment to the street and the prop
erty interests affected thereon.''
j. Helm is the contractor who did the
work on Sumner place and he declared
yesterday that Stilson was grossly ex-
aggerating the conditions on this
street. The board of public works
will visit the place this morning and
see for itself If it has been derelict in
the acceptance of street work.
