fall entertainment vas provided by
the business men OF that e%nterp1is-
ing city which ever approached in
splendor that which during the week
of September 10 to Is will be given
at Woodland park in beautiful
Riverside.
The gates had no more than closed
upon the great fair OF 1905 before
the fair association began to prepare
for the fair OF 1906. A large force
of men was put to work clearing the
timber for an enlargement of the
grounds. New cattle and horse
barns were erected and the seating
%canacity of the grand stand was
doubled by the construction OF an
extension ON the east end.
Tlle;,entries OF live stock this year
are much larger than they have been
before. AS against no harness horse
entries in 1905, there are 23e harness
horse entries this year.

ton. Mr.. Wolgemuth said he priced
Il business lot within Il block or so OF
the main business street and he was
nearly staggered when the agent
calmly said that it would cost him
$4,000. 1t is evident that Rapid City

they are ready 10 take advantage Of
everything that comes their way.

that the mine promoters were get

nav YORK sill SANE.

The defeat Of william r. Hearst by
the people Of New York sends a thrill
Of joy and gratitude through every
honest heart in California, as in ev-
cry other part Of the country.
It was not reasonable to presume
that the Empire state had gone crazy
and in consequence would elevate to
its chief executive office the most
dangerous humbug that ever disgraced
state; and yet, in view Of the mayor
atty election in New York city, there
were doubts and misgivings which
were only relieved by the final, actual
count of the ballots.
New York state has again demon
strated its right to the position II has
ever held as the leader of states. 1t
has again shown its sanity and its
intelligence. 1t was preposterous to
believe that New York, of all the
states in the Union, should suocumb
to the Establishments of a gold brick,
or go off half cooked because a stranger
with pleasing address had offered green
goods at half price.
New York is sane and decent, bat the
Democratic party of New York owes
an apology to the country for having
submitted to the domination of man
who had been booted out of the Demo-
cratic party of his native state as an
unclean thing.
Had William r. Hearst succeeded in
his wild and vainglorious effort to-
seize the governorship of New York
he would inevitably have been in line
to lay claim to a presidential nominal
tion. The more preposterous such a
claim, the more certain he was to
make it.
Even after his crushing defeat in
New York state and his expulsion from
the Democratic party of California ne
may still continue to advertise his yell
low newspapers by posing as a presi-
dental possibility but he has been
shorn of his power and made to stand
before the country in his own yellowd
and bedraggled costume.
The election of Hughes as Governor
of New York will put at least a tenn
porary quietus on the pestiferous
Hearst.
