Mr. Robinson is a historian of note,
and as the head of the state historical
society is constantly engaged in that
line of work. His history of the Sioux
Indians is the result of careful person
al investigation and along original
lines. Besides this work, he has writ
ten other historical works devoted to
South Dakota and the Northwest.
The census of 1905 was taken under
his personal direction, and with a
small appropriation he has secured bet
ter results for the state than many 9TH
ers in other states have secured with
a far larger appropriation to work
from; this by large amount of per.
sonal effort. He for a number of years
was engaged in newspaper work, and
in that line at the present he is pre-
pairing statistical data to be used by
the papers of the state as an induce
ment toward securing immigration 10
South Dakota.
Beside his news and statistical work
he is the author of many verses of
merit.

MANY HoMEsEEkERs.

Three Hundred Carloads Of immigrants
Have Arrived in South Dakota This
Year.
During the past ten days heavy
trains of immigrants and their NOV.
ables have arrived at Huron from
Eastern and Southwestern states. They
are sent over the branches of the Chi.
cago & Northwestern railway to their
destinations, which is chiefly to the
north and west Many of those going
west are homeseekers who are enter
Ing government lands west of the Mis-
souri, river. Not few, however, find
desirable locations on lands in Hyde.
Sully and Potter counties. Those res
naming in this immediate locality are
settling on farms purchased prior to
their arrival, and they come with i'm,
plenents and stock and household
goods.
Altogether these newcomers are a
fine looking lot of people mostly prac.
tical farmers and well prepared for the
experiences that await them in this
'land Of golden opportunities"
At least 300 carloads Of this class of
citizens have come into these parts
since the first of the present year In
dications are that the tide has only
moderately commenced, for railway
officials, land dealers and others are
daily in receipt Of inquiries relative to
lands, transportation, ETC., and not
day passes that does not see crowds
of new settlers and homeseekers
thronging railway platforms.
Not since the memorable boom "pe-
ROD of the SOS has there been such
an influx of people as is now being ex-
perienced in this section of the state.
AS to the settlement of government
lands there is a growing disposition on
the part of young people to enter home
steads, and towns throughout this part
of the state are sending large numbers
of young men and women out onto the
lands west. 1t is surprising how large
is the number Of this class, married
and single, that are making homestead
entries and following in the footsteps
of the pioneers OF 1878-1883
Government land Offices in various
parts of the state are about the bust
est places to be found.

Is a native of Wisconsin and came to
Dakota Territory twenty-five years
ago, since which time he has been ac-

other than that of seeing the material
prosperity of the state in which he has
assisted.
