DON'T OVERLOOK MITCHELL
Its Connection With the Black Hills
Country is Eagerly Auticipat-
ed at Deadwood.

The above headline IS the same
chat was printed in the Deadwood
Pioneer Times editorial column OF
Sunday in which it took occasion to.
refer to the desire to become connect
ed with Mitchell as the result of the
Milwaukee extension. In this same
vein 81. @. Preston spoke Tuesday
evening to the business men assembled
in the city hall and maintained that
a glorious future was in store for
Mitchell and the Black Hills country
when the line of railroad was COM
pleted. There is much good food for
reflection in the following %alsicle
quoted from the Pioneer Times:
In estimating the benefits arising
from the building of the Milwaukee
from the Missouri river to the Hills
we hear people say 1T will bring us
sc much nearer to st. Paul. Mime
apolis, Duluth and other pretentfous
cities, forgetting to enumeraIe
among the benefits and .blensings
the fact that it will bring u8 very
much nearer to any in close and di-
rect connection with Mitchell which
has a rapid and permanent growth
and Is the most promising city in
the state. Mitchell is destined to
become a jobbing center OF no small
proportions and the completion Of
the Milwaukee will bring it nearer
to the Hills by one half than the cit.
les named above. The connection
will result In great benefit to both
Mitchell and the Hills. socially and
from q business point Of view. After
the completion OF the Milwaukee
t. the Hills, Mitchell people and
Mitchell firms will become as we'll
known to the people Of the Hills as
are the people and firms of Sioux
City. Omaha and Denver. Mitchell
people will come over here to spend
the heated term and :.their summer
vacations. The people of the Hills
will patroniZe Mitchell jobbers and
go over there to attend conventions
and annual meetings of all sorts of
lodges aud societies.

TOURISTS FOR THE WEST.

Brooklyn Eagle: Western blsiness
men are going to hold conference in
Salt Lake City to 9 ii they cannot
persuade their fellow countrymen TO
do their travelling on this side Of the
Atlantic, at least for u while. Ameri-
cans spent $3.50, 600, 900 in Europe in
1904, and If that money had been
| paid co American railroads, hotels,
boarding houses, restaurants,
theaters, cabmen, guides, hunters
and mendicants, u prosperity would
have been little less than overwhelm-
ing. apparently. Well, the matter
can be arranged, if the western
people will agree to give to intending
tourists what they obtain in Europe.
In the first place they simply must
have ruins, and ruins are expensive
to build they must have ~cathedrais;
they must have hotels where they do
not serve pie for breakfast; they
must have laws that enable guests to
drink claret with their meals; they
must dig up SOME musty traditions
of kings and knights and MINISTRIES,
who never lived there: they must
even have a few kings on exhibition T;
they must have better streets; they
must have good roads. suitable for
walking, driving and MODELLING /;
they must have a population that
does not swear, swagger and carry
%revovlers; they must have poets.
army officers, literary s~ocistles.
academies, art exhibitions, opera,
orchestras and Difference. Can the
west supply all this, or is 1t cheaper
to go abroad for 1T? Yet, the west
SHOULD take comfort, for the things it
has are those that Europe will desire
to see, as soon as Europeans have
money enough, and the Americans
are now busily paying the money.
The west Is full of scenery, ard at
mosphere, and men who nave never
bowed to kings. at least, to less than
four at q time held by . man across
) poker table. 1t is picturesque in
its lack OF social varnish AMI its
plentitude Of strength, and when.
Europe sends its rich to call on US,
instead OF its impecunious to live
with and upon us. the west will also
be rich, which seems to TO the hurn-
ing desire Of most Of its people, and
Others.

Presbyterians' Fine Organ.

e. B. Stevens, OF Parker, who Las
been rebuilding the pipe organ in the
Presbyterian church, has finished his
work after few weeks of tedious and
very trying circumstances. He pro-
nounces the oragn to be a fine instru-
ment Of magnificent tone and contain
ing some very beautiful stops. The
material throughout is OF the best
and was originally built by a first
class workman. The swell organ
contains some six speaking stops Of
varied qualities Of tone, all Of which.
are good. The great organ has
seven speaking stops Of more power
ful nature than the swell, and which
gives that noble and dignifed char
acter so necessary in all large pipe
organs. There is one set of pedal
pipes, and also a set Of bass pipes,
makinga totalo OF nineteen stops with
the couplers.
The organ will be in ~tirst-class
condition for the coming recital,
7FMEs
and in the skillful hands Of q COM
petent organist, such as Prof. Ander-
son is acknowledged to be, will prove
To be an instrument OF more than or
dinary construction. The Psesby-
terians are to be congratulated upon
being able to secure such a fine in-
strument aud 1t is hoped that the
citizens OF Mitchell will give the re-
.cital a generous patronage.
Mr.Stevens regrets exceedingly his
INABILITY to say that the organ was
in good condition when the recital
was announced a few weeks ago. but
very serious and unavoidable circum-
stances made 1t impossible.
