justly proud, Although not a tree
was in sight, and the boundless green
expanse of spring was often soon Wlth-

grasshoppers often left not a shred OF

licked up the meager harvests which
the newly broken sod yielded, these
people were Injured to hardshlps:
these conditions were bad enough, but
they had no better to which to turn.
Homes they must make for their fam
lilies, and they stuck to the task with
grim determination.
Asa reward of such perseverance,
conditions have entirely changed.
Farms that 80 years ago discouraged
American owners sold for 81 per acre,
that they might have enough to leave
the country, are now worth from 800
to SIS per acre. GrasshopperS are of
the past: the breaking up of the sod
has eliminated prairie fires; thorough
cultivation has brought the land up
to it's highest efficiency; 80 years
growth of trees has modified the winds
and Modified the storms.

South Dakota. where a hundred years
ago Lewis and Clark stood and look
ed upon treeless prairies, n now sees
a land of splendid homes, each home
nestled in the shelter Of an ample
grove of cottonwoods, box elders, sill
yer naples, elms and walnuts, and
many of them boastiug good orchards
of apples and plums. The greater
part of this marvellous transformation
has beer wrought within the last 30

MIRACLE TO BE REPEATED
The Country to be Subdued and
Vast Domain Carved into
Counties

1t is forty-eight years since the
first agricultural settlement was
made in South Dakota and in that
period the agricultural possibilities
Of the state have been pretty well
tried out. Thirty-siX first class crops
have been grown. Seven others have
been fair and five have been practical
failures. South Dakota invites com.
parison with this record.
The present year opened with un-
usual promise. After a prolonged
period of inactivity the great rail.
road companies t%raversing the state
have undertaken vast extension pro-
jects and the building of more than
eight hundred miles of new track in
this state this year is officially an
nounced by the 4Nart.huAste-rth the
LOUIS, anG the South Dakota Central.
NO other state is confronted with a
promise of so much development.
Most of these new lines run into
1ertlle, but practically, u~ndeveloped
sections. The possibilities presented
for ground floor opportunities in new
business undertakings, town build
ing, county seat locations and free
homes are unequaled anywhere. The
great empire of Butte county will for
the hrst time be thrown open. This
IS a land of fertile black muck soil.
luAurlant grasses, clear purling
Streams fringed with timber, and
abundant coal deposits. The Waite
and Teton valleys further south will
also be made accessible by new rail-
roads, and immigration is pouring
into the region at a rate uneoualed
since the great boom days of the
eighties.
In those regions the miracle of the
Ola days is to be repeated. Towns
Will be built with schools. churches
q all OF the activities of high civ
lllzatlon. The vast domain will be
carved into many counties. their can
loals located and county officials Sc
lected. The familiar American story
VIII be enacted again, for almost the
last time. The wilderness is TO he
subdued.
1hese are some of the things that
South Dakota has to offer to settlers
his year. The settled eastern nor.
ton has also its splendid offerings
FERTILE soil proven by years Of depend
aDle cropping. Business opportnni-
ties of the tirstimportance. A heartv
welcome from a prospecting and con-
ehted people who desire more neigh
Dors II the increased opportunities
ana comforts which a denser popula.
zion Will eLable them to enioy. Last,

CUTS DIAGONALLY 81 FARMS
at Least Three New Sta
tons, Bringing Total to q
in County

Tracing the line of the Minneapolis
and St. Louis survey across the town
shin maps in Peterson's new county
atlas it appears that 81 farms are cut
diagonally in its course or SO miles
across the southwestern portion oil
county. going northwest as straight
as a wild goose could fly. The line
cuts through the southwest corner OF
Garden Prairie five and a half miles
west of Verdon, and here, just over in
Brown may be the first station after
leaving Condo. The line, passing
through eastern Rondell, enters Gem
east of the jim, crossing the river
on the O. II. Doken place. 1t is
thought the next station will be ON
the west side of the river, likely on
the town line between range 81 and
63, being about ten miles from Aber-
deem, and on a line seven miles east Of
Warner and twelve miles west OF
Ferney. The line run about 10 miles
northwest of the city to the point
where it crosses the county line, just
in the southwest cosner of Carlisle
township. If the first town northwest
of the city is located ten miles cut it
will be very close to j. S. Netter'S
farm, and the next station would
likely be in Edmunds county a few
miles west of Berne post Office.
The right of way settlements have
about all been made in the country.
East of the river about $50 per acre
was paid. while west Of the river, up
to the city, an average of about $50 is
agreed upon. North west of the city
much less is being paid. The right Of
way of over SO miles includes over
400 acres OF land which at an average
of $50 per acre amount of nearly
s26, 600. In addition to this there are
numerous expenses for moving build
ings. One house and several barns
have to be moved and on the Doken
n'ooe, an aMrresidh weir wTfn 'a9Y, m
be paid for. Bills of this kind NAV
the right OF way expense upseyer-
thousand more. Adding the cost
Of right of way and yards in the CITY
the right of way bill through 30 miles
OF Brown will exceed 81 600 nor m;la
