The region west of the Missouri river
will perhaps not receive the recognition
to which it is justly entitled, as a large
influx of people have settled in the new
counties since the 1905 census. How
ever, that is a misfortune which can be
rectifed at later date -Spearfish Mail.

IN THE ROCKFORD DISTRICT.
J. II. Skinner was in the city yester-
day having arrived from his ranch and
mining property in the vicinity of Roch-
ford. The colonel says that no matter
what may be going on in other sections
of the Hills, there is certainly something
doing in the Rockford district. Quite a
number of good properties are being
opened up, and the prospects are better
than ever before in the history of the
district. On the first of April the Stand
by will resume, and begin dropping
stamps. This property is one of the best
and one of the oldest worked mines in
the Black Hills. During the past two
or three years it has been opened up
along new lines and the work that has
been done upon it has proven the mine
to be even better than it had ever been
supposed. superintendent Baker, ofthe
property, who is now in California, will
arrive in the city sometime before April
LIST, and when he comes it will be pre-.
pared to start the milling plant up on a
larger scale. During the past summer a
part of the sixty stamps In the mill were
dropped on IA good quality Of ore for a
short time, and the cleanups that follow
ed were very satisfactory. The mill was
using water power, and when the cold
weather came ii was closed down. The
coming year it is said that it is the in-
tention to install electricity, which will
be used as an auxiliary TO the water
power. John says that the district is
bound to come to the front this summer,

"A TO ADVERTISERS
A Newspaper Talk
TO the Merchant

Many merchant who has suf-
ficient confidence in his wares to
believe that he could sell more OF
them if he could personally inter
view more of the people who
need. them hesitatesl to do his
talking through the advertising
columns because it costs more
than talking across the counter.
But the newspaper "ad" reaches
more prospective customers in
one day than the merchant can
reach personality in a year; it gives
him the advantage of doing all the
talking himself, and fixes his claims
permanently in the minds of his
listeners, while oral pleas leave
but a fleeting impression. These
privileges and powers are well
worth paying for-and they cost
little in comparison with The
actual cash returns. The proof
is to be found in the experience
of all successful traders.
If "a little nonsense now and
then is relished by the wisest
men," SO is little jingle-especially
when it rings true like the follow
ing rymes from the Business
Mans Magazine:
When trade is slack and prospects glum,

When overstocked, to make things hum,

Dean Swift roundly denounced the
poets of his day who had introduced
the 'barbarous custom of abbreviating
words to fit them to the measure of
theirverses." Swift instances ''drudg'd"
and "disturb'd" as mortal offenses.
The custom so introduced had begun to
dominate prose. Another cause-bor-
rowed, Swift suggested, from the clip
ping process-which he held had con-
tributed to the manning of the Ian
guage, 'eis a foolish opinion advanced
of late years that we ought to spell ex-
actly as we speak; which, besides the
obvious Inconvenience of utterly de-
stroying our etymology, would be a
thing we should never see the end Of"

Caustic.

Recently q wearied looking little
mother, carrying a small baby, boarded
q street car and took seat next to
two men who were earnestly engaged
In conversation. Neither of the men
was very handsome, and 1t must have
required considerable nerve on their
part to hand out their photographs
among their friends unless the pictures
had been previously retouched with
sandpaper. In few minutes the baby
began to cry with reliable yelp that
could be heard above the din of the
street babble for half block, and,
with a grouchy glance at the young
ster, one of the men arose and peevish-
ly remarked to his pal:
81 think we had better sit over here,
JIM"
This ungallant act plainly embar-
rassed the little mother but she was
equal to the occasion.
"It won't do bit of good to change
your seats, gentlemen" said she in a
finely sarcastic voice. 1.-THE baby can
see you quite as plainly over there as
he could here"

RISKS In railway Journeys.

The idea that the man who goes on a
railway journey takes his life in his
hand and is rather more likely than
not to meet with an untimely death at
the first curve the train negotiates is
scarcely borne out by the fact that the
chances against any one passenger
meeting his death on the railway are
36,000,000 to 1. This immunity from
disaster reflects considerable credit
upon the companies, but still more upon
engine drivers and signalmen, whose
skill and care are the main factors in
the safety of the nger.-London

PRACTICAL PICTURES.
Odd Par1or Ornaments and q Very
Substantial Dinner.


There Is practical minded million
aire who has invented substitute for
valuable pictures which 1t Is hoped will
not commend itself to others. He has
had a large number Of bank notes
framed, and these are hung upon the
wall where the pictures should be-
In the drawing room Is one frame
that contains bank note for 100000.
and he says: "rhere is the money in
case find picture which is sufficient
ly valuable to pay that price for 1t.
Meanwhile the note tells its own tale
and saves me from explaining to my
visitors that this picture cost so much,
as most other rich men do.
"The chief pleasure of these collectors
appears to arise not from the beauty of
the work, but from the cost of 1t; then
why not have checks or bank notes for
large sum hung on the walls, as do?
Besides l find that 1t Is much more in
teresting to my visitors, for most of
them look long and carefully at the
bank notes who would but glance at
the work of art"
This eccentric man gave dinner on
the same principle In the soup plates
there was no soup, but soveregns; for
fish were served five-pound notes, for
game checks and for sweets shares in a
thriving company, and there was not a
guest who did not enjoy this ENTER

A Ria Calculation In Water.

The ocean. sea and lake surface of
our planet is estimated at something
like 145,000,000 square miles, with an
average depth of 10000 feet, and is
calculated to contain not less than
3,270,600, ,000,000,000 tons of water.
The rivers of the earth are estimated
to have a flow sufficient to cover thir-
ty-six cubic miles of the above area
each day. Now, If all the oceans were
suddenly dried and the rivers could
keep up their present rate of flow,
which, of course, they could not with
out ocean evaporation, it would take
$500 years to refill the basin.

1t is we'll to call attention once more
to Professor Smith. He is not, as some
have jestngly suggested, an expert
menter. During the last twenty years
he has slowly worked his way into the
confidence and respect of the most
skeptical persons in the State-the
farmers. He did not do this by show
ing them how to exterminate mos
quitoes, but how to get rid of many
other insects that prey upon their fruits,
vines and vegetables.
Those who have followed his advice
have COME to believe in him absolutely.
They will, to man, tell you that if
Smith says he can exterminate mos
quitoes, he will get rid of them.
Certainly the State Entomologist is
very persistent and confident. He took
up this matter, without additional pay
or hope of reward, and for five years
he has been fighting skepticism and
opposition-in municipal boards, with
the utmost patience and good-nature
His studies in the meantime, have
gained him better knowledge of mos
quitoes than perhaps any other man in
the United States. He feels certain of
ultimate success, and it is about time
we stopped all joking about the matter
and helped. The season is coming
when these insects are no joke. Hudson

Dear Sir: If we sell Devoe to paint

1t takes 10 gallons to paint fair-size
house, and that house won't want
painting again for 5 or 10 years. That's
true in way; but people, you know,
rather like fresh paint, and they paint
l-~-<nm.- nm.-<====z-sz- sz s--...----- -
That house would take II or 13
gallons of almost any other paint than
Devoe, and would have to be painted
again in half that time. Ten years is a
very long time for paint to wear; and
five isn't short.
Which makes the most freight, 10
or 2O-gallon paint? or 10 year paint =?
But the 10-gallon paint is the 10-year
paint; aud the 20-gallon paint is the s.
year paint. Which makes the most
freight?
Ask your paint-dealer which he'd
rather sell, and which he could sell
most of. Ask your painter which he'd
rather paint; whether good or bad
paint is good for his business; which
is good paint, the 10 or l5-gallon paint;
which pays most freight, and which
pays most wages. Which will you
buy yourself, the 10-gallon 10-year,
or 2O.gallon 5-year, paint?
