ATTRACTIONS OF THE HILLS.

Possibilities for this Region.

An Eastern Dakota Visitor Sees Great
Possibilities for this Region.
w. A. Knox, of Vermillion, S. Oak
who has been making trip through
the Hills, writes an interesting letter
to the Vermillion Republican from
which we excerpt the following:
sin the future the Hills will be- noted
for something more than they possess
unlimited quantities of gold. They
are rapidly becoming famous as an
ideal summer resort. Here one can
get away from the heat of the sun, the
dnst of the street and bury himself in
nature where she is at her very best.
The glens, cannons and forest retreats
of the Black Hills are absolutely uu-
excelled. The Hot Springs, Wind and
Crystal Caves and Spearfish Canyon
are among the worlds wonders, and
where else is there such q thing of
beauty as Sylvan Lake? Why go to
Colorado, the Yellowstone Park or
northern Michigan for ones vacation
when such splendid place of health
and rest and natural beauty is so near?
One reason has been that the Hills
have been inaccessible. 1t has been
just as hard to get to them as to these
other places, but by the time another
season rolls around that will not be
true. The two great railroads that
cross South Dakota will each have
trains running between the Missouri
River and the Hills before another
spring time. The impetus that this
viii give 10 tourist travel is beyond
estimation. Everyone that lives
throughout the State will be able to go
to the Hills without having to 90
around the earth to get there. These
roads will mean much to So. Oak, es-
pecially the western part. The Hills
country will be benifited the most.
Industries will spring up that could
not exist before. Great expanses of
waste land will be transformed into
rich farms where almost anything can
be raised in abundance. Small towns
will grow into cities and the Black
Hills country will become the center
of activities of every description.
A volume could be written upon the
resources, scenic attractions and
wonders of this country, but 1 must
not make this letter longer or it may
not be given space"
eve found our Vermillion friend S
in the Hills happy and prospering.
They all seem to have become part
Of the procession and are determined
to seek their fortunes here

Woman AS a Manager.

"Women spend lline-tenths OF the
money made In this country and q
great deal of It is wasted They do not
get their money worth because they
Dc not know real values The more
practical education Of girls Is an econ-
omic necessity"
That was tho Introductory remark OF q
speaker in Cleveland who was advoca-
ting normal training for girls. We be-
licve in manual training for girls, as well
as for boys, and we believe that all girls
should receive instruction In the high
art OF housekeeping. But, training or no
training, we are not prepared to admit
that men nre better business managers
than women in household matters. Quite
the contrary. A prudent woman can
make dollar go much farther than q
man. She Is a born economist She
knows how to turn n garment, ms we'll
as /. dollar; she knows how to convert
o1e pair of old adult trousers into two
pni,s Of new Juvenile trousers; she knows
how to make hash. and all that sort OF
THUG, and she can drive trade with the

while at the bargain counter she Is

The trouble with men Is that they med

ing and the, saving, nlne5 out Of ten Of
them would live better and keep out Of
debt and have larger bank balance at
the end of the year. But YOU can't teach

sense he has the harder is it for him to
learn that his wife is the better man

The greatest OF faults | should say,

The New Orleans Way.

The relation Of the negro to health con-
dItions in Southern cities has recently
been brought prominently to the atten-
ton of >the Richmond public. Mr.. Walter
* Parker, Of New Orleans, has recently
published pamphlet advocating national
quarantine. In which he makes special
b reference to the sanitary conditions OIL the
negro quarters Of that city. He begins
with the general statement that me negro
quarters in all other Southern cities are
public scandals; that the simplest laws
Of hygiene are openly violated through
the ignorance Of the negroes and that the
health authorities have usually done little
or nothing to improve the situation AS
+ a consequence" Mr.. Parker proceeds,
"the mortality from disease among tho
negroes OF the Southern cities continues
i from year to year ut epidemic figures,
reaching 4o.7 per thousand a year at
Charleston S. c., and oS6 per thousand
at Shreveport, La. Taking the South as
n WHOLE the negro mortality Is nearly
twice that Of the whites and more than
twice what 1t ought to be. It Is due al
!. most exclusively to the unsnnitary condl-
lions in which the negroes i've
These conditions are true in greater or
less degree of Richmond and we must
reckon with them. for they affect not the
negro race only but the entire community.
In this matter fellow-citizens, we cannot
afford to draw the color line. We cannot
have a healthy city, one part clean ana
the other part filthy
But Mr.. Parker gives us words OF en-
rouragement. New Orleans has put her
negro section In better sanitary condition,
and missionary work among the negroes
ha sheen done in the way OF lectures on
SANITATION in the negro churches and by
other methods. The results have been
highly satisfactory. They are thus sum-
married. by Mr.. Parker:
THE negroes finding 1t moro comfort
able and healthier to live In clean than
V In filthy quarters, have helped to keep
X their premises cleaner, and for the first
time, probably, in the history OF New
Y Orleans, they may be-seen voluntarily

their trash and fumigating their pre-
misses The decline in the negro death
x rate from 424 per thousond Census year,
4 10 27.2 per thousand in the midst OF an
endemic is not accident but natural
sequence OF sanitary education 1t means
the saving Of several hundred negro lives
year, the avoidance Of several thousand
cases OF illness and a great Increase IN
tho productive capacity OF the negro as
a worker. The showing Is perhaps better
in New Orleans than In the country dis
z tricts. because the sanitary campo ign
