N In the year ef our Lord 1906,
oiGate City to the Hills coun-
J has, indeed much to be
aankful for. Within the year
apid City has awakened from
8qniet town in a peaceful val
sy to a city with a hustle,
llere additions are made in a
Hay. "The old citizen" who
vas wont to look out Of his east
Window aud to see the sun rise
is from the ground Of the I'M
lulating praines, has awakened
n the morning and rubbed his
byos vainly to brush away a
dream, for his view was OBJ
staucted with a modern dwell
ing; that came there as fin the
al; hit. But it was only when
he looked out to see the orb Of
day drop suddenly below the
sandstone Of Hangman's Hill,
that he marveled. There was
til frame for a ten room house

tosobstruct his view. But even
he, a born pessimist as to the
future promise Of his city, be-
came truly thankful when he
awoke to the realization that to
have and to hold was an in
crease Of fifty per cent on the
value Of his holdings, and he,
too, caught the spirit of empire
and boost, and somehow got a
q something into his circulation
that he couldn't shake off, and
he became a booster, and a pro-
moter Of his own and the citys
interests. He took a block of
stock in the Portland Cement
Company that will employ 800
people, and he beheld in the
vista Of the future Of the town
a commercial center, a railroad
center, a metropolis Of the
Black Hills country. After the
manner of the old settler, the
entire commercial citizenship Of
Rapid City began as one man to
take in the s tuation, and to
know where they were at, so to
speak, and as one manthey are
q this hour truly thankful.
Rapid City can now see II
it's future, and in no dim or OBJ
scure manner, the network Of
three or four great railway lines
anditself the hub Of the wheel
of agreat wholesale and distrib-
uting center, the base of sup
plies for the great new country
west Of The Missouri river. They
know from the votes cast at the
recent election, that the popu-
lation ofthestown has increased

Lebsch.Simpson Nuptials

On Wednesday through the post office we received the following:
 "Miss Susie Simpson and MT. Albert Lebsch announce their mar riage on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 1906. Williams, Arizona. At home after March 1st."
 Though the matter was supposed to have been a profound secret it leaked out that the wedding was to occur at 10 o'clock of the above date. and consequently they were shortly afterward the recipients of innumerable pounds of rice, while on their way to the depot.
 The ceremony was performed at the home of MT. and Mrs. McDon- aid Robinson by the Rev. E. C.. Decker, only few of the immedi- ate friends being present.
 Frank Casey Spencer acted as best. man. The bride was attended by Mrs. Evans, and immediately following the ceremony the entire party, consisting of MT. and Mrs. Lebsch, Mrs. Evans and MT. Spen- cer, MT. and Mrs. Decker, Mesdames Buggeln, Jacobson and Robinson, sat down to a delightful wedding breakfast.
 After short honeymoon spent on the coast Mir. and Mrs. Lebsch will, upon their return, take up their residence in the Martin Bug geln cottage.

Stole a Diamond Ring.

On last Friday a young woman who was on her way from the east to Phoenix passed through here on No. 1. On arriving at Mcclellan, the second station west of here, she asked to be sent back to Williams on the limited, and upon arriving here told the following story to the local officers:
 She had struck up a chance ac. quaintance on the train with a young man who was going to San Diego, and as they had travelled some distance became quite friendly. She had on several diamond rings which the young man admired very much. and he finally asked to ex- anime one of them, which was worth about $50. She allowed him to look at the ring, and taking it he slipped it over his neck scarf and refused to give it up. She became greatly worried and asked for her ring a number of times, but he of fered her a ring of his to wear in- stead. When Williams was reached they alighted and walked up and down the platform. When the train started he assisted her on and she thought he had followed her till Mcclellan was reached and his ab. sence was discovered. She had the conductor wire here to the officers and herself came back on No. 1, as stated above.
 That night or the next day the man was captured at Flagstaff, where he had tried to have the stone taken from the ring and set as a pin. At his trial Saturday he was held over to the next grand jury. The ring, which was recovered, will also be held till his trial is had. The young lady passed through here Sunday on her way to Phoe- nix, for the second time, where no doubt she arrived safely and much wiser.
 AS she was intending to visit with the family of reporter on one of Phoenix leading daily papers we had expected to see a big ac- count of the affair, but never a word has appeared.

BRIGHT ANGEL TRAIL
L. L. FerraII Granted Permit to
 Operate Trail

The latest event in connection with the famous Bright Angel trail was consummated Thursday when the board of supervisors granted to L. L. Ferrall a permit to operate the trail, as it has heretofore been conducted, for period of five years from date.
 The action of the board was taken at this time because the first of this week the franchise, under which R. H. Cameron and others were oper- ating, expired. Under the law there was a question as to whether MT. Cameron could have his franchise renewed, and as the board were ad- vised not to renew the permit was given to Mir. Ferrall.
 In the past an effort has been made to make the trail free road. If that were done the cost of main tenance would be quite an item of expense to the county, especially with no income from that source. Now the toll will be collected by MT. Ferrall as formerly and the county will get it's percentage of re- ceipts' without any expenses what ever.
