Big Snowfall Wednesday.

The unusual as to weather
happened when the people Of
the hills awuke Wednesday
morning. The light sleet that
began to fall Tuesday afternoon
turned to snow and during the
night nearly foot ofsnow fell.
1t came gently however, and
without wind or other demon
strations of the elements.
Neither was there much of a fall
in thss temperature, for the
snow was soft, and stuck to the
walks, seemingly as it fell. Old
settlers say that it was the
heaviest fall of the "beautiful'
that has come to the hills within
a period OF many years, and
they are vainly trying to make
excuses for the new antics of
the weather in the newer town
which was once the old. They
are making vain attempts to ex-
plain this outlandish proceed
ings of the weather, but with
but little success.
The new settler is also vainly
seeking several men who stood
up last fall and without turning
a hair, said that there was abso-
lutely no snow in this country,
and no winter. He, the new
settler, is also seeking the loca-
tidn Of the man who made re-
marks of derrogatory charac-
tor when he unloaded a bob
sled from out the miscellaneous
junk of his car of household
goods, and sarcastically asked,
"what it isi"
From the standpoint of mois-
ure, this foot or more of snow
is worth millions to the semi
arid district of South Dakota.
and the new settler hopes and
prays that more oft will come
and that it will stay on all win
ter. All these good things Of
the weather conditions seem 70
follow the settler, everywhere,
and there is no heading it off,
That civilization is followed by
moisture and changed .condi.
tions is going to be also true IN
western South Dakota. Please
make q note Of it.

CROUCH LINE ADDS REGULAR
PASSENGER
TO TAKE EFFECT IN TEN DAYS
No More Long Gold Rides on the
Breezy Little Motor
Cars

Mr.. Il. 2. Cory, traffic man
ager of the Crouch Lines is
busily engaged upon a new time
card for the train service to
Mystic, which will be ready and
go into effect within about ten
days. The new feature of the
schedule will be an exclusive
passenger train service between
Radid City and Mystic. The
freight traffic hereafter will be
exclusive, so that tourists who
patronize this scenic mountain
line of railway will have every
care ac ,ordod to the patrons of
the best equipped railways in
the country.
The new passenger train on
this road to the heart of the
hills, and connecting the Bur-
lington at Mystic, will leave
Rapid City at l:2O p. m. daily,
returning at 8 p. m. This new
arrangement will be greatly ap
preciated by the travelling pub
lie whose itenirary takes in the
gateway to the hills and this
scenic line Of the hills, now
famous, almost the world over.
The management of this pop
ular scenic line were in receipt
this week of the first installment
of a beautiful folder, edited by
g. P. Cory, of Rapid City, the
traffic manager of the Missouri
River and Northwestern Rail
way. The folder was printed
in Chicago, and as a kaleodo-
scopic view and a word picture
together of Rapid City and the
wierd views of natures pano-
rama, along this line of railway
it is, altogether a work of art.
1t contains a series Of colored
plates and engravings that are
the latest in the art Of magazine
printing, in all the latest de-
signs in colors.
The people Of Greater Rapid
City are surely under great obi

Hon. Robert j. Gamble,
Yankton, South Dakota.
My dear sir: lin reply to-
your letter of September "a,
1906, I have the honor to state
that il has bean, held by the De-
partme1t Of the Interior, in the
case slof commuted homestead
entries, that constructive resi-
dencs from the date Of the en-
Try will be recognized only when
settlement is made and resi-
delce established within six
months thereafter, and that the,
law requires that actual resi-
dence upon the land shall be-
continuous from the time it is.
established until the date Of
final proof. In the case re-
ferred to in your letter, where
commutation proofs have been
rejected for insufficient resi-
dence, claiments when submit
ting new proof will be- required
to show continuous residence
for a period Of fourteen months
next preceding the submission
of new proof. This Office does
not understand the law to per-
NIT claimants to add periods Of
residence, separated by the
periods of absence, together so
as to aggregate the required
fourteen months residence, but
that actual residence in good
faith for that period MUST BE
CONTINUOUSLY MAINTAINED UPON
THE CLAIM. Each case must,
however, be decided upon the
facts therein presented, having
due regard to the good faith Of.
the claimants, as shown by
their acts, andit is impossible
to lay down a general rule which
will govern all cases arising in
the execution Of the law.
Very respectfully,

CORN CULTIVATION
IMPORTANT CONTEST CLOSES
IN LINCOLN
100 BUSHELS RAISED on ACRE
Some Valuable Hints by Harry w
Olderog, Second Prize
Winner

The corn contest which clos
ed at Lincoln Neb; November
20, was great success. About
$50 Neb. boys competed for the
first prize of $50. This was a
warded to young man who
raised 119 buhsels and 20 pounds
on an acre of ground. Harry
w. Olderog of G1etna, Neb;
who captured the second prize
of $40, raised l18 bushels and
thirty pounds on his acre. He is
a member of the Boys Agri-
cultuarl club, and is greatly in
terested in matters pertaining to
farming. He writes the follow
ing interesting article on his
method OF preparing the ground
for prize crop:
The ground on which I raised
my corn for the contest was Sc
lected and prepared in the fol
lowing manner:
1 selected a piece of black
loan soil that had been in pas
ture for five years, and was To-
Gated along small ravine, thus
getting piece Of soil that has
received rich deposits during
the freshets of the past fe W
years. Also the rich alluvial
soil as it was washed from the
adjoining hillsides. The ground
was plowed during the carly
spring, about six inches deep,
and allowed to remain as it was
turned over until time to plant,
thus allowing the soil to receive
he early spring rains; also to
allow the air to circulate freely
through the surface soil, and
hasten decomposition Of grass
roots, etc. About the middle
of May l narrowed the ground
twice, following the same way
as 1 plowed it, in order to har-
row the upturned sods down
ward rather than turning them
with the grass surface upward
and retarding decomposition.
Next I went out onto the field
with disk and disked it twice
crosswise, thus chopping the
heavy sods to a fine soil. But
upon a close examination l
found the under soil to be quite
coarse and not packed sufi-
GENTLY close to allow the under
ground water to be carried to
the surface by capillarity, also
that in planting the crop some

roller to insure a full-packed
seed bed. | narrowed it again
to be sure of a perfect surface
mulch and then [ considered the
field ready for planting.
The field was new and ]
thought it unnecessary to ado
any fertilizer, so none was useo
whatever.
I carefully watched the
ground and tested it daily il
regard to temperature and
moisture, and found it to be il
good condition for planting the

We desire 20 interest the earnest

needed work. The success of similar

a like success waits upon our efforts.
Nature has been bountiful to Homo.
lulu and made it beautiful for situa-
ton. IL is not too much for us to ex-
pect that all persons here should, in
some measure, work for this good
cause. Politics and parties have no
place in this work; nor is there any
discrimination between rich and poor.
When order. neatness and beauty are

urgent need of more stringent sani-

This expense should be borne by the
city, since it's benefits are to be shared
by everyone, visitors as well as resi-
dents. 1t must be borne in mind that
the sewers are to be kept strictly fol-
their proper use and that no rubbish
must be thrown into them.
The work of Improvement organiza-
tions is matter pertaining specially
to the home, and our ladies should
need but little urging, as, in all that
tends to make home attractive, they
can accomplish many reforms fol-
which the man of the family has little
time to spare.
The scope of the work is so broaC
that it can not be fully indicated al

has been said to arouse an intelligent
interest.
None of these suggestions have beer
made with any intention of infringing
upon the duties of our public Off
GERS, or with the Board of Health, blu
rather to assist their work and to up
hold all efforts now being made for oul
people.
