man of the vario us committees
reported. There was no hitch
in the proceedings until the read
ing Of the report OF the COM
mittee on resolutions who
brought in the resolutions
printed at the head of this col
umn.
This, as everyone knew, was
the point that would be fought
hardest by the Martin support
ers and Immediately another
resolution was offered by them
as an amendment. This resol-
ution was a flat full Endorsement
of Mr.. Martin and an instruc-
ton to the delegates to support
him at Sioux Falls.
The final attempt Of the Mar
tin men was a neat political
trick. Mr.. Shrader had intro
duced a list of delegates as a
substitute for the list prepared
by the committee. He offered
this as an amendment to the
committees report and had
printed copies Of this list circu-
IT, ".rn',ns h;e .,nrtars with
!aCeu aihong us euppor.ya.. ts1.1
instructions to write eyes" at
the head and vote it. The idea
was; Of course, that the names
OF the delegates would be voted
for and not the adoption or re-
lection Of his amendment. But
the chairman properly ruled that
nothing but a blank paper with
yes or no upon it would be
counted as a ballot, and the
lists of names were not voted.
The convention adjourned
Immediately after this vote was
taken, wisely reserving all jubi-
lation until the banquet of the
evening.

OVER THE CROUCH lines
A Sunday Excursion
Gaining IN Popu-
larity with the Peo-
pie Of Rapid and
Vicinity.

It might surprise one who
should happen to be at the
Crouch Lines station Of a Sun
day morning to note the number
of persons who take advantage
of this company's cheap excur-
sion rates to get away from the
toll of the desk and counter each
week for a breath of the best
air in the world and a glimpse
Of the inspiring hills. 1t is a
merry little party, ranging all
the way from the workman in
his best clothes to the business
man in a duck suit and a hat
stuck full of artificial flies.
Lunch baskets and fishing rods
make up the major part of the
baggage but it must not be
thought that all the passengers
are Of the stern sex. These may
gather in the baggage car to
smoke and tell fishing yarns
but in the Stats are the wives,
sisters and sweethearts gaily
decked in all the glory Of pretty
outing dresses and pink rib
bons.
The train goes fast enough
across the flat, and past the new
Downie- Wright factory where
already the machinery is being
Installed. This company, by
the way has alrerdy shipped in
many cars of machinery and
supplies over the new line and
will ship many more. The en-
CINE begins to pant and wheeze
as it strikes the hills, however,
for from this point clear to Mys-
tic it is a steady rise, a four per
cent grade in some places.
Standing on the back platform
one can notice Throughout the
entire journey how the rails run
down hill, and if this is not evil
dence enough there is the river,
which the track follows it's en-
tire distance, rushing over the
rocks with flash of foam and
white water, so great is the fall.
Entering the hills one is first
in part of the great belt Of
lime and sandstone, which en-
tirely surrounds the Black Hills.
The rocks, of sedimentary orr
gin lie like the layers Of great
jelly cake and one can see the
sharply marked lines Of the
strata clear to the summit OF
the highest hill tops. There is
wealth in these rocks too-not
the gold that drives men

Pennington county did itself
honor Tuesday afternoon by
lining up solidly with the VIC
torious forces Of Crawford and
Gamble and by presenting the
name Of our own Mayor Emrick
as a candidate for congress.
It was a great convention.
Ordinarily such conventions are
prefunctory affairs where a few
delegates meet and go through
the motions Of elee ting a list of
delegates that every one knows
about and has known about for
weeks in advance. But it wasn't
that kind af a convention Tues
day. For one thing it was far
better attended than such gath
erings generally are-52 out of
81 delegates who might have
been present attending.
The first test of strength came
at the outset when j. r Shrader
who led the Martin forces NOM
mated James Boyd Of this city
as temporary chairman. A. K.
Gardner placed James Hopkins
y A y nouhe III nUl,1l.a.s..on 4o1
the same position. Mr.. Schrader
called for a rising vote at first
but afterwards changed his mo-
ton to a request for a ballot.
The ballot taken Hopkins was
found to have 81 votes while
Boyd had 81. This Indicated
the strength of the respective
forces in the convention and the
situation was not changed in
the ballots that followed.
There was a bit of sparring
over the appointment Of COM
mittees. It was moved the chair
appoint a committee on dele
gates to the state convention,
but Mr. Schrader insisted this
was the province Of the COM
mittee on rules. A vote decided
against him. When the COM
mite on resolutions was named
Mr.. Schrader read > resolution
indorsing the present state adj
ministration and Mr.. Martin
which asked the committee to
consider.
After a 20 minute recess,
during which the committees
prepared their reports the chair

and the burning heat Of the
desert, but the more peosaic
values of lime and cement.
Valuable today, these deposits
will be reckoned among the
greatest resources of the Hills
as the country settles up, and
the more accessible deposits
near the great cities Of the east
are exhausted.
But for present-day usesthere
is more value in the great pines
and spruces that line the hill
sides. There are perhaps a
dozen saw mills along the line,
the largest of which is McGee's.
These mills do a big business,
and yet this is not the whole
story by any means. For ex-
ample Mr.. Day, whois one Of
the most prominent men in
that part Of the country has a
contract for $50 carloads of ties,
all of which will come over the
rails of the new line.
So much one may notice as
evidence of material prosperity.
But if his purpose is to enjoy
an outing as the writer's was,
he will think far more of
the beautiful vistas that open
up at every curve Of the road.

LOllS llOllOl llCAl
The boom of the big. bass
drum, the blare Of brass and
the fash of sky rockets last
night announced to the world
that Pennington county had a
candidate forthe congressional
nomination.
Immediately after the conven-'
ton a few Of DR.. Emrick's
friends hustled things into line
for a banquet and celebration.
A hurry-up order was sent to
the Harvey ordering a banquet
for sixty persons. George Nc
Manus was found and he cheer
fully agreed to get the band
boys out. And with a few more
preliminary arrangements for
the minor matters Of decoration
etc., the thing was done.
At eight O'Clock the band
marched down to the Harvey
corner and struck up a lively
qrlick-step. The crowd gather
ed quickly; fire works were
brought out and with the whizz
of rockets and CLEAN Of Roman
candles the celebration was
started. The crowd responded
enthusiastically to the stimulus
Of the music and fireworks.
Meanwhile the delegates in
whose honor the banquet was
given began to gather at the
hotel and scattered in knots
about the corridors talking,
laughing and fighting over again
the battles of the day.
It was nearly ten O'Clock
when Mr.. Schleuning signified
that all was ready and the doors
of the dining room were thrown
open. The tables were arrang-
ed in T form and the chandi-
liers above were tastefully de-
corated with bunting. @. j.
Buell., the toastmaster of the
evening, and DR.. Emrick were
escorted to the head table by
one Of the committee of arrange
ments, the delegates from out
of-town being escorted to the
other seats. Chairman Hop
kins sat at the left Of the toast
master.
After a sufficient period had
been given to the good things,
with which the table was loaded
Mr.. Buell. arose and with neat
and witty speech gave the health
of DR.. Emrick. The toast was
drunk standing. In reply DIR.
J. Elsnrick said:
