INDIANS As SKILLED WoRkMEN.
Government Is Improving the South
Dakota "Reds."

Dakota "RedS."
Emulating the example OF Booker
T. Washington, the United States gov
ernment this year begins at Rapid City
the experiment of teaching Indian
boys manual training. 1t is part Of the
program of the government for putting
the Indian to work. Very satisfactory
results have been reached among even
the high-spirited Sioux Indians, on the
Pine Ridge reservation alone, some
100 Indians supporting themselves
and families except during winter. But
these reds perform only unskilled la
Dor. They are in demand on the rail,
road extensions of South Dakota, Ne
braska and Wyoming, and hundreds OF
them have worked ON government and
private wagon roads, while limited
number have helped the farmers har-
vest their small grain and corn crops.
But their wages are low.
The government has the belief that
the Indian of tomorrow will be found
in such professions as electrical, me
chanical and mining engineering and
even in the professions. This is the
confirmed belief of many of the teach
ers in the government schools OF
South Dakota, among them is Supt.
House of Rapid City
To this end the government. is be-
ginning with the trades. A new indus
trial building has just been erected
at Rapid City at cost Of $4,000. In
this building the boys will be given
practical instruction in blacksmithing,
cobbling, harnessmaking and carpen
tering.
The boys devote half of each day to
their studies in the school room and
the other half to practical work in the
trades. At the Santee and Fiandreau
schools also industrial departments
have been installed with promise.
The Indian boys show great interest
in this work, and it is hoped it will
solve the problem of breaking up res.
ervation life and it's idleness and temp
tations
While the boys are being equipped
to draw GOOD wages, the Indian girls
are being made into housekeepers.
They are learning to sew, cook, wash,
iron and clean and keep house. The
Indian girls call keeping house max

GAS AND HOT WATER FLOWS.
Freak Artesian Well Reported Near
Midland


The contractors who sunk the ar
tesian well for the railroad company
near Midland say the water shows a
temperature of 1876 degrees as it comes
from the mouth of the pipe This is
too hot for bathing, and Is almost
scalding in temperature.
With flow Of water Of that temper
ature the people only need to pipe
their homes and turn the flow on to Sc
cure heat sufficient to keep their build
ings warm. This we'll also brings a
good supply of gas, and this could be
utilized as well as the hot water.
Every well sunk in that part OF the
state but emphasizes the fact that an
abundant gas supply exists II it can
be located, and it is expected to send
the drill deep enough in the well to be
sunk at the Indian school at Pierre to
give the matter at least partial test.

The petition of Forestburg to wrest the
honor from Woonsocket in Sanborp
county failed to secure the required
number of signatures, and there will
be nothing doing in Sanborn. In Ly-
man county the commissioners held
that the requirement of majority of
the voters of the county did not mean
a majority Of those who voted at the
last election, but a majority of those
who are presumed to be in the county
at the present time, and on that basis
turned down the petition of Presho as
insufficient, stopping the move in that
county.

CLEARS $4,000 ON PALACE.
Mitchell Organization Names Dates

for Next Year.
The corn palace executive commit
tee at Mitchell has announced it's
dates for 1907 as Sept. % to %. This
has been done thus early to prevent
any conflict in dates for the next fall
exhibitions which will be held through
out the state. Since the inception OF
the corn palace in 1892 these dates
have always been named, for good
weather always prevails at that sea
son.
This year the management cleared
$4,000 in the week of the corn palace
and last year the same amount was
made. AS a result of this great sue
cess the palace management is now
nearly out of debt, which was brought
about last year by the expenditure OF
100000 for the erection and decoration
of the new building.

ishly watered by streams and lakes.
Surface wells are secured on all sides
and artesian wells are plentiful.
AS regards the soil, there Is plenty
of natural moisture, and South Dakota
is underlaid with a porous subso1l
which accounts for the phenomenal
crops. The average rainfall is estima-
ted at twenty-one inches. More than
seventeen inches Of this falls in the
five growing months.
1t has yet to be shown where the
South Dakota winters proved a men
ace to the crops. The severity OF the
winters has been greatly Overdrawn by
writer's who are not acquainted with
climatic conditions in the Dakotas.
South Dakota is the fourth state In
the number of bushels of corn per cap
ita raised Illinois, the leading corn
state, with 3S2,o00000 bushels, raised
over forty bushels OF corn less per
capita than South Dakota.
AS regards the live stock industry,
South Dakota more than holds her
own. Cattle are raised with ease and
grow fat to the market point, with
very little attention, on the luxuriant
pastures Of the ranges. There is no
any part of the state and it is verita
BILE home garden for sheep.
Growth Of Fruit Industry.
During the past year the fruit indus
try has assumed large proportions.
Several nurseries have been estab
lished and steady market has been
found by the fruit farmer.
Large apple orchards are springine
up on every side and render good re-
turns. Last years apple crop amount
ed to 217,SO0 bushels. 1t has been re-
peatedly demonstrated that all North.
ern fruits will DO we'll in South Da'
kota.
The dairying industry must not be
overlooked by the prospective invest
or There are now 152 creameries in
the state and room for as many more.
The value of the dairy food product
for the current year is estimated at ST.
100000.
There are 325,O0o milch COWS in ev-
idence, all fed upon the rich native
grasses which lend particularly ex-
quisite flavor to their butter. And this
product has gained, and still holds,
top notch price in the Eastern mar
ketS.
South Dakota has certainly come
into her own. She can no longer be
spoken of as q state "untried." Her
early settlers had hard battle to
fight, but they fought it to the bitter
end and are to-day reaping the reward
of their exertions.
The outside world has finally recog-
nized the value of South Dakota as a
spot where the homeseeker will find q
worthy recompense for his capital, let
1t be large or small.
And the tide of immigration wakes
in volume day by day. Thousands are
passing daily into the state, and OF
these the first arrivals will surely fare
the best. 1t is an apt illustration OF
the "early bird catching the worm"
The tremendous tide of immigration
into South Dakota shows that the
farming element of the country at
large is fully aware of the splendid OPP
portunities that this state offers, and
they are rapidly taking up the lands.
But hundreds of thousands Of acres
still await the man who desires to get
free and cheap homestead for him
self. Every train that comes into the
state is filled with an eager band Of
homeseekers. Most of these men have
capital to invest.
