Box Rent to be Raised Jan.

Box Rent to be Raised Jan. /
By a general order of the
postoffice department. the post
Office box rent in all postofices
has been increased at scale, in
proportion to the receipts Of
each office. When you pay
your box rent after January LIST
your Uncle Samuel's represent
ative in Rapid City postoffice
will ask you to put up rs cents
for a box that used to cost you 35
cents, so cents for the former
so cent kind. The rs cent
boxes will not be elevated. In
July the market in mail boxes
will again become bearish, and
the scale will then be 60, Is and
ST.. 90 for the different grades Of
mail-boxes on sale at the post
office. 1t will be seen that Uncle
Samuel is also "hollering"
about the increased cost of liv-
ing.

He'll Let Loose.

On Saturday, December %,
Porter j. Whites Company will
appear in Library Hall and
present to the people of Rapid
City Goethe's immortal tragedy,
..Faust,'' an intellectual feast
and a moral lesson. Where
can you find a more thrilling
scene than is pictured in the
Fifth Act, where Faust and
Mephisto climbing the steep
rocks and chasms of hell to
where the witches meet to hold
their yearly festival. "The
night grows dark and darker,
the moon gives but little light.
the trees and rocks take on
wonderous shapes. Only the
hooting owl and the cry Of the
lonely night birds to break the
awful stiffness. Strange shapes
crawl to and fro and weird
forms seem to writhe and clasp
the wanderers in their horrible
embrace; then the devil shows
"Faust" the never failing''pun
ishment Of Evil" the curtain
falls just as a storm of fire de-
scends, in which the imps and
witches are seen playing a lively
part. This together with the
Worlds Fair Quartette in the
Famous Cathedral scene, and
the special scenrey carried,
promises q rare treat to our
theatre goers.

1t has remained for a man
with some idle time hanging
heavy on his hands, to gather a
few statistics, in deslutory way,
anent the rainfall of somo Of
the wheat and general crop
countries of Europe, and to
compare the precipitation in
those countries with that part
of South Dakota lying between
Huron and Rapid City. This
man although somewhat Of a
fend in his line, at making fig
ures to giving the lie direct to
those individuals affected with
pessimistic neuresthenea, as to
the possibilities Of the state to
which they live and have their
being, has taken his figures
from the neurological observa-
tions Of the water bureau of
these countries. While they
are at once startling and also
substanciating the optomistic
views Of the cheerful citizen of
South Dakota, these figures are
true. The retired rancher who
has insisted that this land could
not even be plowed with a pick,
and that it rained afkili, will
please stand up and give this
his attention, along with other
natural phenomna that is TAX
ing place in the phases Of the
weather, and then get away
back and think a few times.
Let those valley farmers down
Rapid and Box Elder cease re-
pairs and unnecessary expense
on their irrigation bitches, and
get it into their heads that these
old things are going out of COM
mission. The natural moisture
is here with the homesteader.
He brought it with him some
how or somewhere concealed
about his person. Anyhow, it's
in the air, and it's getting into
the earth beneath. The Union
Stockman reporter here pres
ents the recapitulation and re-
suits of the research of this man
of figures on the rainfall of all
countries, he says:
|
That part Of South Dakota
lying between Huron and Rapid
City is as good country, with
better soil, a larger rainfall and
a more desirable climate thar
one-third Of Europe where more
than l00,000,000 people live.

population Of 1,267,000 has a
normal rainfall Of IL inches.
Paris, France, thas as an annual
rainfall Of only 1868 inches.
The great grain centers Of Rus
sia, Austria, and other parts Of
Europe thickly populated, have
an annual rainfall varying
from seven to nineteen inches.
For example, the rainfall at
Astrakahn, a city larger than
Omaha, is seven inches, at
Prague, Austria, a city. Of the
size Of Minneapolis, ID inches.

GREAT INCREASE IN POST OFFICE
Gain Of $4,000 in Receipts During
the Past Thirty-Two
Weeks

the Past Thirty Two
In a talk with Postmaster
Barber, yesterday the Union has
learned that the postoffice de-
partment, has already asked Mr..
Barber for an estimate of the adj
ditional help required in the
event Of the future organization
Of a city carrier system. This
system is forthcoming and will
without doubt begin with the
first Of the fiscal year, July 1st.
This is according to the ruling
4 of the department. which gov
erns the extension Of postofice
service by postal receipts. The
receipts Of the Rapid City post
Office last year was around
$4,000. The increase OF the re-
ceipts this year since April lst
and including November was
something over $4,000, thus
making up the $40, 900 required
by the department. for a free de-
livery system with the month Of
December to the good, which
will make the postalreceipts for
1906 more than $l1 900.
There are certain stipulations
and requirements Of the govern
ment, however, that make inn
peritive, and up to this city,
at this time to make good. A
petition must first be circulated
by the citizens that they desire
a free delivery system, and that
petition must be accompanied
by a statement that all side
walks and crossings are in good
condition and repair, that the
names Of the streets are posted
at the corners of streets and
~ 7 ~
that all houses bear a number.
THE CITY COUNCIL WILL MAKE
THE PROPOSITION GOOD.
A subsequent interview with
Mayor Emrick resulted in the
gratifying information that an
ordinance has already been
drafted which will be presented
to the council at it's first Janu-
ary meeting which will in effect
make it an order imperative for
the numbering Of all business
houses and dwellings,. The ex-
pense of the street names at
corners will be borne by the
city. The mayer has already
prepared an official chart for the
numbering Of houses on the
block system, which will also
be presented for the acceptance
Of the council.

These were the words of a
prominent contractor to a group
of his friends, the other day.

Illinois to Idaho. and from st.

gone into countries and thrown

thing that told me as it or that

the rain and the moisture would
follow my grade, and my
friends, let me tell you it never
failed. From Liberal, Kansas,
to Amerillo, Texas, on the Rock
Island was a job that tried my
irrigating system, gentlemen.
Here was a proposition that dry

Of a Thousand cubic feet of
earth with hydraulic pressure
any where along the line from
Ri Reno to Elpaso. But my
friends, as fast as we would
throw up that grade do you
know that the side bitches
would fill with water? Yes,
water! And there were those
among the men foreigners, who
were that superstitious that they
quit the works declaring the
sudden appearance Of the water
in the bitches as a thing un-
canny. Gentlemen, | am in

Spring Duck Shooting.

Some of the more enthusi-
astic sportsmen are opposed to
one Of the provisions of the
new game law, that Of closing
spring duck shooting, claiming
that the spring flight Of ducks
is practically the only time that
the hunters in this section get
a chance to do any shooting.
In the fall when there is plenty
of feed for the ducks in the east
ern part Of the state the fight
is practically all east Of the
river. Would it not be a good
idea to call a meeting of the
sportsmen of Belle Fourche be-
tween now and the first of the
year, as they are doing in
other Hills towns, and adopt a
i D q
set of resolutions to present. to
the representatives ands senators
from west Of the riveri-Belle
Fourche Bee.
The sporting fraternity of
Rapid City should also get to-
gether in the near future, and
take a hand in the framing of
this new game law in the
Legislature. Get together, boys,
and talk the matter over.
The President has estimated
that it will cost 182 million to
complete the Panama ditch,
and the time for its finish SO
that boats will pass through is
set around in the year 1880.
