POLO A FASCINATING GAME.
New Sport Has Proved to be Popular
at SpringvieW

Springview Independent: The half
breed cowboy and Sioux Indian polo
teams under the management of j. II.
Ludwick are progressing nicely. The
polo game is played on horseback
knocking a ball through a goal with
mallet. 1t not only requires a good
horseman, but good eye and strong
muscle to become an expert at this
game. The Indian Is a good rider
and has good eye and adapts himself
readily to this sport, making him al
most an ideal player Not only knock
ing the ball through the goal is all
that is required, but riding the oppon-
ent off to keep him away, and the
many thrilling runs and scrambles for
the ball makes this the most interest.
ing game that we have. The Indian
loves this game and uses his entire
energy in winning. When he gets the
ball started down the field his way,
he sets the spurs into his horses

eye of Mr.. Ludwick, the manager, who
for years has been a horseman and
trainer. He has spent a great deal of
time in preparing these for the game.
The Indians were all gotten from the
Rosebud reservation. The cowboys
are breeds and fresh from the round
up, making as fine a lot of reckless
riders as one would wish to see. The
people of this vicinity are taking a
great deal of interest in this and the
grounds are visited daily by people
who enjoy the game immensely. We
believe this is the coming sport OF
the country and with the lineup that
Mr.. Ludwick now has, could not help
but furnish better entertainment than
any game known. We look forward
to the time when this will win a rep

CROPS IN NORTHWEST.
Outlook in keya Paha, Trip and
Gregory Counties is Excellent.

Springview Independent: Contrary
to the general talk of Board of Trade
dealers for some little time, crops
generally speaking, are not going to
be so small, but the outlook is rather
denied that our late spring did have
some effect upon the general condi-
ton, however, we are not in any fear
of immediate famine, and are really
looking for even greater prosperity in
the agricultural districts than ever
before. This prosperity is being evil
denced in the northern part of this
state and the southern part of this
state and the southern section of our
neighboring state on the north espe-
cially by the great number of substan-
tial improvements being placed on the
farms and the rapidity with which the
towns and villages are growing. Most
especially can this be noticed in Boyd
county, and just across the state line
in Gregory and Trip counties Since
the Gregory extension has been in
operation building materials in great
quantities have been moving along the
line. In letter to the editor from the
Louis Bradford Lumber company who
carry an ad, with us, they say that
they have already received orders for
half a dozen cars to be shipped to
Gregory and several cars to points on
the same line nearer this way, and
they seem to have great expectations
for this new country, as we'll as all
the surrounding country.
We have good reasons to be proud
of our section of the country in which
we are located certainly is one of the
most rapidly improving parts of the
most prosperous state in the union.

RAPID CITY REJOICING.
Dream of Thirty Years Coming True
With Two Roads Entering City.

Rapid City, S. D., July 5.-One of
the greatest railroad building races in
the history of the west is rapidly draw
ing to a finish. The question is asked
here which road, the Milwaukee or the
Northwestern, will reach Rapid City
first. The Milwaukee company has
finished nearly all of its track-laying,
the announcement being made that
as soon as the Cheyenne bridge is
completed a train could be brought
clear through That will be some
time the latter part of this week. The
Northwestern company has been in
the lead for some time past, for the
reason that work was carried on at
both ends of the road. The recent
very heavy flood washed out portions
of the track on this side of the Chey-
enne river. The local officials of the
company now assert that the track will
all be laid from one end of the track to
the other by the middle of July, and
it is possible that the first trains will
enter the city on the same day. This
dream of bodybuilding connecting the
eastern and the western portions OF
the state has been the great hope OF
Rapid City people for the past thirty
years. The business men are planning
a grand reception for the day that the
roads rbipg the first train in.

ROMAN CANDLES DISASTROUS.
Shooting Out the Wrong End, They
Caused Trouble.


Robert Pribnow, prominent FARMER
living south of the city, attempted to
relight a rocket of the Fourth. His
hand was caught by the rush of pow
der flames and badly burned. While
serious results were not greatly feared,
considerable time must elapse before
Mr.. Pribnow can use his hand.
Roman candles proved one of the
most fruitful sources of minor injuries
on the Fourth in Norfolk. Many of
the candles developed the disagreeable
habit of sending flames through the
lower end of the candle on the last
discharge. Little Raymond Beymer of
South Norfolk is one of the boys with
a bandaged hand today as a result or
this tendency on the part of the way

LIFE At TICKET WINDOW
VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE EXACT
CHANGE FOR FARE.
NOW AND THEN COMES BIG BILL
About 500 in Pennies Flow Out Of the
junction Depot Ticket Office Each
Month in Making Change Paper
Money More Frequent.

Month in Making Change Paper
Money More Frequent.
Save for the exceptional woman
who sorts out her ticket money before
she calls the cab for the depot no one
approaches the railroad ticket window
with the exact price of carfare in
hand. All day long from out of the
little ticket window at the Junction
depot there is an unceasing flow of
small change.
When Howard Beymer, Northwest
ern ticket man at the Junction, reach
es out a ticket with his right hand
his left hand instinctively seeks the
cash box. For there is always change
to be made. If man wants a $3.50
ticket he pokes IS bill at the window.
If he wants a 75c ticket he pokes in
a dollar. And if there are pennies or
nickles involved no man ever shoves
in the correct amount.
Every month at the Junction depot
there is a deficit of about 500 in the
penny column. Each month nine thou
sand more pennies are sent out of the
ticket window in change than come
back in fares. 1t takes about 500
month to keep the Junction in nickles.
When it comes to quarters the i'm
ports and exports out of the little tick
ct window begin to balance and when
half dollars are reached the tide has
turned with an incoming current.
Paper money is beginning to circu-
late in this western country more
freely than of old. The bills of small
denominations are beginning to make
dent in the silver circulation. While
the jingle of silver still fiourishes
down at the Junction, Ticket Seller
Beymer has noted that the little paper
money is making inroads.
Occasionally a $50 or a $100 dollar
| bill is FLASHED" at the Junction for
some western ticket. But the "big"
bills are precious things in the eyes
| Of their possessors and are seldom
parted with. When the man back be-
hind the window piles up the change
for the 500 bill the owner of the big
money almost invariably finds that he
himself has the exact change and de-
parts with his big flasher" intact.
But the man who sells tickets is not
merely a mechanical instrument for
change making. He is the guardian
angel of the unfortunate, the informa-
ton bureau of the inquisitive and the
ignorant, the target of the man with
a grievance, the recipient of smiles
and frowns, of the word of thanks and
the disgruntled oath. Howard Bey-
mer at the Junction depot is all of this.
So was the man who went before him
and so will be the man who comes
after.
