There is an alcove bedroom in the
front of the house which is especially
valuable as the children are growing
up. It gives an opportunity to supply
a room all to themselves and at the
same time have them near enough to
look after them at night. Those Of us
who have had experience in this line
understand that drinks of water are
very commonly required between the
hours of ii at night and five in the
morning. It is a pleasure to supply
these little wants, but have general
" noticed that such chores are ac-
complished a little bit easier when
the youngsters are near at hand. We
never forget the time when our young
sters required such attention. We
may not realize just at the time what
it means to us; but my advice Is to
pay particular attention to the little
whims and fancies Of children, ridicu'
lous as they may seem to us at the
time. The little ones remember those
things as they grow up and the older
folks are not liable to forget them.
The memories are pleasant ones and
they are we'll worth cultivating. In
selecting house plan remember the
little folks and make provisions for
them. ... & (

Cause of Shortage.

At Minneapolis the commissioners
called on the officials Of the Milwau.
kee railroad who summarized the rea-
IONS for the Ger shortage on their
road about as follows:
First, because of the unusually
heavy shipments of grain and other
farm products: second. owing to the
pleasant weather experienced during
the winter the farmers wer able to
market practically their entire crops,
and the grain was rushed to market
within a comparatively short time,
filing the elevators to the bursting
point and making it a'physical impos-
sibility for the railroads 70 furnish
cars fast enough to supply the heavy
demand and keep the crops moving.
II was pointed out by the railroad
officials that every effort had been
made TO make equitable distribution of
empty cars, and that no Intentional
discrimination in the distribution of
these cars had been shown. At Chi
cago additional facts bearing on the
car shortage were as%certained.
The commissioners were informed

that their company early in the ship
ping season had entered into a con-
tract for the hauling of between 2,000.-
600 and 5000, 900 bushels Of corn from
Kansas City eastward, the shipments
being destined to points on the Allan
tic coast. The Pennsylvania railroad
was interested with the Milwaukee
company in this heavy shipment and
expected TO furnish the greater part
Of the necessary cars. but at the last
moment was unable to DO so. COM
polling the Milwaukee company to d.
vert an aggregate of about 5000 cars
from other divisions Of the road.
The Milwaukee company has now
completed this big contract, and when
The several thousand cars required
for the shipments are returned they
will be eQuitably distributed among
points where elevators are filled and
there IS & congestion Of grain. About
700 of these cars Will be sent at once

The federal government has a sur
prisingly great number Of interests
and undertakings on foot at present in
the Black Hills. 1t is not an exagger-
alton to say that there is no other sec
ton in the United States of equal size
where the government is engaged in
SO many and such various enterprises,
as no Other section 100 miles long and
forty miles wide offers such a variety
of practical interests.
In Butte county the government is
engaged on a gigantic irrigation pro-
ject which will require several years
for completion and will cost in the
neighborhoOd of $4,000 900. This was
undertaken because the country need
ed nothing but water in order to make
1t very productive and valuable both
to the agriculturist and 70 the stock
men who did not turn his stock out on
the range. 1t is estimated that 200, 900
acres Of semi-arid land will be thus re-
claimed.
Recognizing also the Importance Of
the Black Hills from a mineral stand
point the government has established
at Deadwood a United States assay
Office through which passes a large
portion of the gold mined in the Black
Hills. A bill is now pending in con
sress for the establishment of mining
experimental stations in the different
mining districts. This bill has been
reported favorably and if it Is passed,
which now looks probable, will result
in the establishment of such a station
in the black Hills.
Looking towards the interests Of the
sportsmen and also noting the advan-
tages Of the Black Hills, a United
States fish hatchery has been located
at Spearfish. Trout is the sole fish
handled and about 1000, 900 are plant
ed yearly. This hatchery supplies
not only the Black Hills streams, but
also all parts of the world. The year
ly shipments has reached as high as
$4,000, 900, some Of which have been
sen as far as Wales.

tablished Sept. 10, 1898, includes prac
tically all the timber area Of the Black
Hills and a small strip OF Wyoming.
It covers 1,211.6 $50 acres and has for
its object the purpose Of preserving
the living and growing timber, pro
noting the younger growth, and the
regulating Of the water supply. The
control and management rests with
the commissioner of the general land
Office at Washington. There are in
the United States ffty-four forest re.
serves and the business Of this one
reserve exceeds that of all the other
forest reservs combined.
At Hot Springs the government Is
building a national sanitarium for SOL
diers, having decided upon this after
a careful study of the waters and the
general health giving atmosphere Of
the place. 1t will include five hos
pitfalls and two general government
buildings and will accommodate about
800 men. Congress has thus far ap-
propiated over half a million OF dol
lars and the hospital in process Of
construction is said to be the best
equipped not only in the United States
but in the world. A tract Of land six
miles square has been set aside for
grounds.
The wards of the government, the
red men, are also being cared for in
the Black Hills. The government
school for Indian girls and boys at
Rapid City is now in its ninth year.
1t can accommodate $50 pupils and
has in attendance 253. So taxed is
the capacity that the government will
eXpend S2G,00J this coming summer
for the erection Of four new buildings.
In this same city is also a United
States land Office, and a signal service
office, while at Deadwood a public
building at the cost of over 5000, 900
built entirely of home. material is 60
ing up.
The government has also been eX-
pending a large amount Of money at
Fort Meade, with the object Of max
ing it q permanent post.

CAR SHORTAGE IS BEING RELIEVED
Railroads Explain Cause of Trouble in Northwest
Cars Will Be Sent at Once.

A thorough investigation of the
car shortage that has prevailed in
South Dakota for several weeks Occu-
pied the attention of the board of rail-
road commissioners while on an Off
cial trip to the big terminal points.
Prior to the boards departure num-
erous complaints had been made of
alleged discrimination in the distribu-
ton of empty cars, and recently the
Trl-State Grain Dealers association
filed a complaint in which il was
charged, among other things, that the
railroad companies were purpOsely
withholding cars from the elevator
men of South Dakota. In view of the
nature and number of the complaints
the railroad commissioners deemed il
best to investigate the matter.
ST. Paul was first visited. There
the commissioners called on the Off
cials of the Omaha railroad. But few
complaints had been made from points
on this road, and these. it was eX-
planned. were due 10 the fact that carS

their use and kept the cars as long as
possible. These cGrs are now being
returned to the Omaha road and no
further shortages are expected on that
line
