Activity. ~

Past Year Has Rcc One of Great
Activity.
When the building record of the
different cities of the state is made up
fer 1907 Pierre will show up well with
any other city in South Dakota. In
the way of municipal improvements
miles of streets have been graded. The
principal business streets, as well as
residence streets, have been supplied
with cement walks, and a two-mile
system of sewerage is just being COM
pleted. In hat line. paving of the
principal streets is now the question
being pushed, and it is expected to
proyernent completed to allow actual
operations to be commenced early
next spring. Beside the municipal inn
provefnent. a half hundred new resi-
dences have been constructed. and
one stone and three new brick build
ing blocks erected.
BESIDE the municipal and private
improvements the Northwestern road
has built a new brick passenger sta
ton n a number of brick structures
in the new yards at East Pierre, ex-
pending, with the completion of the
81 100000 bridge, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The foundation for
the new state building is practically
completed and will be in shape to al
low the pushing of work on the walls
early neXt spring, which assures an
ether expenditure of money for labor
from that source for 1905, beside h
many private improvements planned
already for next spring.

PREPARING FOR CORN SHOW.
Many Counties VIII BE Represented in
Exhibits at Mitchell.

Many of the surrounding counties
have commenced to exhibit considera-
BILE interest in the coming state corn
show, which will be held in Mitchell
during the coming winter. perhaps a
short time before the holidays. h
corn show of last year was q fine sue
cess In that the lectures which We're
given by corn experts gave the corn
growers of the state considerable inn
5portant information on lines that have
been generally followed in corn
culture. The exhibit of corr was
good, but it is conceded that it will be
shown this year, for corn will be
shown this year that was grown on
the principles hut Were e~nunciated
from the platform. Another reason
for the corn grower of this state to
be enthusiastic is the fact that at the
corn exposition in Chicago this fall
South Dakota o%vertopped Wisconsin
and Minnesota in the sweepstakes
prize. Where the county commissions
ers are not taking the interest in the
corn show to make an appropriation
for an exhibit, the cal estate men
ave formed for the purpose of seeing
that an exhibit Is represented at the
show. While the talent has not as yet
been selected for the platform discus
sions some of the most noted corn Gull
turists will be heard. A. J. Wimple,
the prize corn grower of the state, will
have a sample off his prize corn at the
exhibition.

TWO SURVIVE.
Terrible Disaster in Bokhara, Prov
ince of Russian Turkestan.
PEOPLE BURIED BY MOUNTAIN.
Horror Follows Recent Series of
Severe Earthquakes.

The whole of the town of Karatagh,
In Bokhara, Russian Turkestan, has
been destroyed and the entire popula-
ton, numbering about 5000, was bur
led by a tremendous mountain slide
following the recent earthquake there.
1t Is declared that scarcely a score of
the people have survived, Il that
their sufferings are pitiable. One re-
port is to the effect that the Governor
of Karatagh and his mother are the
only survivors.
Tie slide was caused by the recent
severe earthquakes in the mountains.
Karatagh is situated in a narrow val
ley, with precipitous mountains tower
Ing above it. Although landsdides are
frequent in that region, following
earthquakes, the people remained In
the town, and when the im~measurable
weight of rock crushed down upon
them they We're caught in a trap.
The entire town, it is said, is buried
from view. Hundreds were entombed
In their homes. The cold Is severe and
adds greatly to the suffering sf h few
survivors. The mountaineers hurried
to the scene and are caring for the liv-
Ing, but owing to the danger Of fur
Their rock slips it is impossible to at
tempt to reach those buried In the
ruins. a.
Bckhara, or, as it Is sometimes call
cd, Turkestan, lies high up in the
mountainous regions Of Asia, with Rus
sian Turkestan to the north and Al

expanse of arid plains, bordered and
intersected by mountains. Its popula-
ton is estimated at 1900, 900, not in

MORE CASH IN SIGHT.
Bankers Assured or Big Increase In
Supply.

E
Indications that the available sup
ply Of cash would be materially in
creased within a short time, both by
imports Of gold and the increase of
the bank note circulation. and that
the movement of cotton and grain
crops would be facilitated In every
way possible, with the result of in
creasing our credits abroad, were the
salient features Of Thursdays finan-
ciaI situation. 1t seemed to be recog-
nized everywhere that the acute stage
of tho crisis was over and that all
that remained was sufficient currency
to resume currency payments upon a
broad s~cale<lnd thus to restore condi-
tons prevailing before the crisis.
The engagements OF gold made in
New York, Chicago I'M elsewhere
brought up the total import move
ment within the past week to s23,710,-
600. AS this amount of gold will af-
fore a basis of credit to four times
the amount, or about $4,000, 600, 1t
will in itself afford much relief to the
existing pressure. h action of the
Bark IF England In raising its dis
count rate from A to " per cent
was in accordance with expectations
in conservative circles. The fact that
cen and that the English rate re-
mains / per cent below the German
rate Is accepted as an indication that
the situation at London is not consid-
cred acute.
