SETTLERS MAY SUFFER-.
Many Still Living I'm Tents on Thekr
HOmeSteadS

II. Bayzarian arrived in Miller last
week from Rapid City across the
country. He predicts much suffering
on the reservation this winter. He
met 100 families going west on the
one stobe road as he came east, the
most of them new settlers who pre-
sumed that the railway would be fin
ished before winter.
Some had tents and in some in
stances he saw some of the early sum-
mer homesteaders still living in
tents along the road. These late set
tiers expect to have their lumber for
houses hauled out by the railroad, but
it will not be finished before the mid
die of the winter at least. 1t is
thought that the late settlers will suf-
fer for water, as the pools that the
herds and settlers now use will freeze
solid in the winter.

ability and reputation is hard to find.

salary but the trouble is that there
are so many other people willing to
pay the same kind of salaries to
good engineers that the supply will
not meet the demand
