City council meeting.

The City council met Monday
evening in regular session and
allowed the usual bills:
Mayor Emrick was in the
chair. The councilmen answer
ing the role call were Thomp-
son, Worth, Dodge, Feigel,
Overpeck, Poznansky and Nc
earthly.
The greatest work accom-
plished was ordering of a new
dumping ground to beprocured
for garbage by the committee
on streets and alleys. For years
that old patch of. foul smelling,
ever burning heap of filth at the
south end of town has certainly
been a blot Oh the city's map.
A stranger driving through
that smudging heap for the first
time on his road to Rapid would
not foster any too tender an
ticipations for the city beyond.
j. HI. Isbell asked for a reduc-
ton Of taxes. G.. l.. Wood filed
the same petition for his
lots in the Floorman Addition.
A resolution to refund the
out standing park bonds was
unanimously adopted by the
council.

Rapid City's New Stock
Yards.

The New Crouch Lines stock
yards have been completed.
This new addition to our city
fills a long felt want and the
Crouch Lines Managementis to
be congratulated for the CON
struction. The following letter
from G. K. Howard pays no
small tribute to these yards:
81 wish to announce to the
members Of our association and
to stock men generally, that the
Crouch Lines have the largest
and most favorably located
stock yards in South Dakoto.
They consist of eight pens, mod
ern sqeezers, three loading
chutes and wing leading dir
ectly to forty acres Of splendid
pasture for holding saddle hors-
Sc or small shipments, and to
sixteen hundred acres of first
pasture, through which
Rapid river runs; all stock ship
pers can appreciate the value Of
running water and good grass
in forwarding and receiving
stock, in connection with com
modious, dry pens, entirely free
from gumbo.
'The'twenty-nine cars which
l received yesterday over the
Burlington and Crouch Lines,
via Mystic, were handled in the
promptest and most satisfactory
manner. The entire shipment
in one tram from Mystic to
Rapid City in two hours and fif-
teen minutes, were switched to
the yards and unloaded (three
cars at a time) in thirty-five
minutes.
'SMy herd being able to get
immediate water and grass with
out driving was worth over 5000
to me.
81 take plasure in recon-
mending the Crouch Lines and
their facilities to all stock grow
ers and shippers as a most fav-
orable and advantageous route.
"Yours truly,
&c. K. Howard.

fines. The rescue race was an
excellent exhibition of clever
ness and agility and naturally
solicited any amount of enthus-
iasm.
The Indian pony race was the
best seen here in many a day.
The start was perfect and after
a little crowding for positions
the twelve contestants darted
off and tore down the course
with the speed of the wind.
The events of the afternoon
took place on st. Joe street and
like those of the morning were
characteristic of extraordinary
strength and cleverness. The
street was crowded with hun
dreds Of spectators anxiously
awaiting the outcome of each
succeeding event. The boys
and girls race, the potato race
and the squaw foot race were
all of a very interesting nature.
At $3.50 the multitude Jour
neyed to the base ball park,
where a large purse was to be
divided between the crack
Spring Creek aggregation and
the home team. The practice
game played between these
teams on last Sunday developed
many new and adverse opinions
as to the relative strength of
the two teams. Accordingly
the issue of the contest was con-
sidered very dubious. But much
to the surprise of all when the
smoke of the struggle had clear
ed away the Spring Creek boys
were found at the bottom of q
81 to 3 heap. "Rube' Stewart
had things decidedly MS own
way while the pheno menal bat
ting Of Whipple was the feature
of the game.
The browning event of the
celebration was the fireworks
in the evening. For two full
hours the clear vault of heaven
was aglow with a meteoric
shower; the sky was fairly
ablaze with sparkling granduer.

THE SMELTER Operating
Two Shifts Are Work
mia Now

One furnace atthe smelter was
"blown in" last Saturday, and
after a few strenuous days given
to adjusting things and getting
them in running order, it is 60
ing nicely. This furnace, which
is the larger of the two, has a
capacity of ninety tons, but I'M
der present conditions only fifty
tons are being put through.
Through the kindness of Su-
perintendent Hall, a Union man
was shown over the plant Mon
day. tits an interesting place
to visit. On the upper floor a
great hole above furnaces con-
tinually pour fourth a cloud of
white snlphurous smoke, most
Of which passes out through a
sheet iron hood and stack.
Enough however, drifts through
the room to give the atmosphere
a decidedly Inferno flavor.
Looking down into this hole one
can see the jets Of fame came
shooting through the upper part
of the charge and the magma
ton can easily picture the fierce
heat of the zone of fusion at the
entrance of the blast below.
On the floor below it is a pretty
sight to watch the stream Of
molten Stag flowing continually
through the forehearth into a
stream of water that comes from
the water jacket. The red hot
liquid drops into the water with
far less Kissing and splashing
than one would suppose would
result, and being granulated by
the cold water is carried
away by the current to the Stag
dump. The matter, which con-
tains the precious metals com
bined with a great deal Of sui
phur and iron and a little cop
per, is tapped off about every
hour. A big ladle full is wheel
ed into the yard andthere pour

works and Perfect
Weather all Combine
to Ma Ike an Ideal Cele-
bration.

The most sanguine expecta-
tons of a successful celebra-
ton we're moro than realized in
Rapid City on July fourth.
Amid the roar of cannon and
cracker the eventful day was
ushered in. The early dawn
disclosed a clear sky with pros
poets Of a REPETITION of the past
weeks balm and sunshine.
Throughout the city the glor-
ious old stars and stripes were
unfurled from every house top
while an abundance of red,
white and blue bunting adorned
the windows and doors of the
business blocks. Towards 8
O'Clock crowds of gayly dressed
people were seen drifting in
from all parts Of the country
and long before the program
started, the streets were throng-
ed to their utmost capacity.
The regular exercises of the
day began on schedule time.
The Indian parade was the in
itial event. It comprised some
500 Of Americas original sons
and formed a magnificent array
of colored plumes, painted war
riors and prancing ponies: The
parade was remarkably realistic.
The Iudian squaw pony race
and the sack race proved to be
intensely interesting to the
spectators but the Indian wal
dance was easily the feature OF
the mornings program. 1t was
display Of the genuine pow
WOW, characteristic Of every

eminent.

A new phase Of the irrigation
code has been recently received
at the land office. Under the
Session laws of 1905 an applica-
ton must now be made to the
government before the water
right can be taken out. Sec 10
says:
Section 10: Application for
water right. Any person, ASSOC
citation, or corporation hereafter
intending to acquire the right
to the beneficial use of any wat
ers shall, before commencing
any construction for such pur-
pose or before taking the same
from any constructed works,
make an application to the state
engineer for a permit to appro-
pirate, in the form required by
the rules and regulations estab-
lished by him. Such rules and
regulations shall require the APP
plicant to state all the date nee
essary for the proper description
and limitation of the rights ap-
piled for, together with such in
formation, maps, plans and
specifications as may be neces-
sary to show the method and
practicability Of the construc-
rion and the ability of the ap-
plicant to complete the same.
All maps, plans and specifica-
tions shall be filed in duplicate,
one copy to be retained in the
office Of the state engineer after
the approval of the application.
The state engineer may require
