When the Legislature c~onvenes a
year hence, says the Pierre Weekly
Dakotan. the Black Hills delegation
will come on the evening train from
the west, and when the week. end
vacations occur, the mountain boys will
not wander about, like a lot of spring
lambs locked u of the corrali. Din
ner in Pierre and tea in Deadwood
will be a novel, but welcome experience.

Many old time residents Of the state
remember that January 18th, was the
eighteenth anniversary Of the terrible
blizzard of 1888, which was SO severe
throughout South Dakota particularly
through the certeral parts. Persons
who remember that day cam OF but be
convinced of the almost wonderful
change in climatic conditions hat has
come over South Dakota since her
pioneer days. January IL 1888, was a
far different day than January 12. 1906.
A report of the manufacturers Of
South Dakota, made public at the cen
sus bureau, shows that the state has
made rapid strides along industrial
lines in the past five years The report
covers primarily two principal indus
tries of South Dakota; namely, the pro-
duction of butter and cheese, and flour
and grist mill products. The value of
the yearly production in manufactures
increased from 50, 529, 900 in 1900 to more
than Els 5000, 900 in 1905, while the total
number Of establishments increased

Government census reports show
that man lf~acturing iudust ries in South
Dakota have greatly increased in num-
Der aud value of output during the past
five years. South Dakota cannot yet
be considered as a manufacturing
state, however. When the western
portion of the state is developed by
means of railway extensions and access
is gained TO the Ignite coal fields of
North Dakota and western South
Dakota aud the soft coal of Wyoming,
manufacturing will be stimulated.
The CHIEF drawback at present is the
lack of cheap fuel.
