THE YEAR IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Doane Robinson, secretary of
the South Dakota Historical so
ciety, in his "Sixth Annual Re
view of the Progress of South
Dakota" spreads the year 1906
on record as the tenth consecu
tive year of steadily increasing
prosperity. This means of
course that the year just closing
must go on record as the best
in the history of the state.
During the six years Mr.. Rob.
inson has been collecting Stats
tics only one of the annual re-
views failed to show an increase
in the production of wealth over
the previous year. That was in
1904, when the wheat crop was
ruined by rust. The total p o.
duction for this year is S145, 8l2,
s3l.29 gain of $40, 1926, $50. 90
over the splendid showing made
last year and gain of $39,3i2,.
1871 over the record of 1900 The
figures show an in crease of for
ty per cent during the last six
years. AS 10 one has yet dis
puted the claim Mr.. Robinson
has been setting forth each year
that South Dakota produces
more new wealth per capita an.
nually than any other state, the
contention still holds good. AS

COACHING PARTY DELAYED.


KINGSTON, n. Y, June 2.-The New York
Coaching Club, which was scheduled to
cave this city at 0 o'clock this morning on
their coaching trip to Robert L. Gerry's
summer home at Lake Della aware, did not
get away until l1:3O o'clock. Thu cause
Of the two hours delay was that a change
in the programme had to be made because
it was impossible to load the coach on the
steamer William F. Romer last night, which
was to bring it from ~Poughkeepsie, the
steamer setting too low in the water and
the opening Of the gangway being not high
enough.
This morning the coach was loaded on
the steamer James T. brett Of the Newburgh-
Albany Line and brought here, arriving
at about II O'Clock. The coaching club
and servants, numbering fourteen. who had
come from Poughkeepsie in Mr., Gerry's
yacht, the Electra, were waiting with four
horses, and the steamer made a special
landing so the coach could be more easily
unloaded. 1t was the intention to have
breakfast at Eichler's Hotel here, but owing
to the delay the club started on its run,
stopping at Pine Hill for dinner, When the
coach left this city Alfred Vanderbilt was
the whip. Col. Jay said they expected to
reach Lake Delaware at about $3.50 O'Clock
tonight.
