BOOM PLANNED IN SOUTH DAKOTA
An Active Campaign Begins to Advertise the State
Meeting Is Very Enthusiastic.

Thousands OF dollars will be spent
in advertising the state, and the en-
tire advantage will be reaped by the
thousands now ignorant of the unex.
celled opportunities latent in South
Dakota, but ready to respond to the
touch of the investor Of settler and
carry him with the rising tide to uc-
cess and riches. The excellent farm
ing possibilities, in soil as fertile as
the best in the land, the untouched
mineral wealth within easy access, the
splendid business opportunities Of
fered in such a fast growing commu-
nifty and all the other manifold re-
sources of South Dakota will be ex-
plicited to to the nation, that men now
down may have a chance to achieve
success and aid in the development Of
South Dakota.
Not a moment will be wasted by the
committee hat was appointed by the
association. No DON were they ap-
pointed, after the wave of enthusiasm
that swept over the meeting of bust
ness men, than they entered upon
their duties, and already plans have
reached their definite stage. Governor
Elrod and his associates on the pub
licity committee, Col. John King, F.
c. Whitehouse. ]. NJ. Stransky, c. d.
Brown and A. N. Waters, will go to
Chicago next week, there to confer
with the railroads and secure addi-
tional advantages to the settlers and
investors that will be attracted to the
hidden wealth by the campaign. The
committee men are among the most
prominent business men in the state,
and represent the most substantial in
terest Of the Northwest.

Enthusiasm Of a tensity never be-
fore equaled at Huron has resulted
in the formation of an association that
will fiaunt the vast resources OF South
Dakota to the world and attract to the
state during 1906, an army of investors
and settlers to reap the handsome re-
turns promised by the exceptional op-
portunities offered in all portions of
the commonwealth. The South Dakota
Development and immigration society,
Of which Gov. Samuel Elrod Is an en-
thusiastic member, consists of over
100 Of the most responsible business
railroad and land men Of the state,
who have Just completed an organiza-
ton here. They are equipped with
the abundance of ability and get-up
necessary to swing the big project
they have lined out, and their purpose
already has received the hearty in
dorsement and support of the entire
state.
One Of the best newspaper writer's
of the United States will be engaged
by the association to head the cam
paign, which will be waged through
out the entire remaining weeks Of
the year. His unexaggerated descrip-
tons Of the unbounded resources of
the state will attract notice and the
other prominent members Of the as
ISOLATION, aided by the railroads and
every progressive business man in the
state, will follow with work that is
certain to open the eyes OF thousands
and make it possible for them to seize
the opportunities offered in South Da-
kota and unexcelled anywhere.
Never before has a movement
spread through the state with such
rapidly and commanded such hearty
Endorsement as the one just launched.
Broached only a few days ago, the
news of the associations creation has
extended to the utmost limits of the
state, and not a man of foresight has
failed to grasp its great import and
pledge his strongest efforts to aid the
crusade Of publicity.

PARTY REPRESENTATIONS
All Parties i'm State Must Hold Conventions on June
Effect of the New Caucus Law.

While a great deal has been said
In regard to the representation at the
Republican state convention. but lit
ventions of the other parties in the
state. Under the caucus law which
fixes the convention dates and fixes
the representation to which each
party shall be entitled, the conven-
tons of all the parties must be held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in June preceding the cleo
ton. And up to the present the
only party which has yet made a
move toward calling a convention is
the Republican party.
While the South Dakota caucus
law does not attempt to in any way
limit the percentage of votes which
entities a party to make nomina-
tons, it places a limitation. in Sec
ton, of the number of delegates en-
titled to seats in a state convention,
placing the limitation at one dele
gate for fifty votes or major fraction
thereof cast for governor by the par
ty at the preceding election, only a
portion Of the state would be repre-
scented in conventions called by the
Prohibitionists, the Socialists or the
Peoples party in case they call a
convention this year. In fact that
party would find it's representation in
but nine counties under the limit Of
fifty votes, or a major fraction for a
delegate. These counties would be
Brookings, 1; Dawson, 3; Hand, 8;
Jerauld, 1; Kingsbury. /; Lake, 1;
Kingsbury, 1; Lake, 1; Meade, 1:
Minnehaha, 1; Moody, 1. A total of
sixteen votes in the convention.
The Socialists and Prohibitionists
would each call together a state con
vention of 81 votes, in which about
half the counties of the state would
be represented in each case.
The Socialist representation will
be: Beadle, 1; Brookings, /; Brown,

Facts About Mankind,

Married people live longer than the
unmarried, the temperate and indus
trious longer than the gluttons and idle,
and civilized nations longer than the
uncivllized. Tall persons enjoy a great
er longevity than small ones.
Women have a more favorable chance
Of life before reaching their fifteth
year than men, but Il less favorable
one after that period. The proportion
of married persons to single ones is
as 70 to 1000. Persons born in spring
have more robust constitution than
those born at other seasons. Births and
deaths occur all the world over more
frequently at night than in the day
time.
There are at present 5000 languages
spoken by the inhabitants of our globe.
whose religious convictions are divided
between 1000 different confessions Of
faith.
The average duration of life is thirty
three years. One-fourth of the popula-
ton of the earth dies before attaining

persons only one reaches the age of q
hundred years and not more than six
