DAKOTA.
TWO CAR LOADS OF TREES.
Arrived in Rapid During the Week
Z. And are Now Taking Root fn
The Rich Dakota Soil,

During the week more than two
car load of fruit and ornamental
trees have arrived in the city, and
they have been going in every di-
rection all week long to find a place
to root in the new farming country
on all roads that lead to Rapid City
in every direction. Not q few found
places on tho lawns and in the gar
deps within the city and out in the
suburbs. Tree planting in this
country means more to the country
especially the treeless sections t.lan
the mere setting AMI Intelligent
cultivation that they may be made
to thrive and bear fruit, and cool
shade, but it means also that their
foliage aud their growth will add
to the general moisture. There are
those, it is true that will tell you
that this is all humbug. this gather
ing of moisture from tree foliage,
yet scientific experiments has de-
monstrated that it is ture. 1t is
hoped that next week will witness
shipment of two more cars of
trees, and that the planting of
trees will go on briskly for q
month. The buyers knew what they
were about and they and their de-
scendants will, within decade trans
for the now treeless plain into ave-
nues of foliage of the golden willow
the Carolina poplar and there will
be upon every farm acres of bearing
orchards and vines.

The Railroads arc Advertising the
Citv

In several of the magazines and
periodicals for May appears the
page advertisement of both the
Northwestern and the Milwaukee in
page space, advertising western
South Dakota, and featuring Rapid
City as the leading town of the
Hills. A foot note neach ad says:
We have no land for sale or lease,
and then they call attention to the
fact that there is yet few home-
steads left along their lines. Evi-
IDENTIFY the railroads are beginning to
to take notice.

Build Union Depot With
Milwaukee,


Milwaukee.
There is a rumor afloat this week
among those who are wise to the in
side OF things in railroad way, that
the Northwestern and Milwaukee may
get together in the building of a
union depot in this city. One thing
IS certain and that is that the busi-
ness of the Northwestern here is get
ting beyond the limits of the capa-
city Of both its passenger depot and
also it's freight service. The Mil
T'aukce officials; are and have been
.@icient as to the location of their
fcTcts refusing even to give hint
a.; to it's exact location 1t was ru-
morcd that this road might possibly
usc the Crouch building, but has
no confirmation, the Crouch people
insisting that their large building
was only adequate to take care of
its own growing business, so this
Tumor this week seems to be pretty
well founded, that there is quiet
combination being effected.
The ground upon which this union
depot would be located now belongs
to the Northwestern. 1t is the va
cant lot between the old laundry at
the rear of the Harvey. and the
Crouch building. In the case the
deal is consumated, the old laundry
building will no doubt be pulled out.
1t would seem reasonable from all
points of view, that this may be
something more than rumor, for
Ibis would place the offices of all
lines of railway within the business
center of the city, adjacent also to
the hotels, and consequently con-
yenient to the travelling public

Small Blaze on West Side Monday
Afternoon,

For the first time within month
the fire department responded TO an
alarm of fire coming from the west
side of the city. The fire was, after
some time, located at the residence
of Mrs. Havelin, where it appears
that some children playing with
matches had set fire to some hay in
small barn. Some carpenters work
ing on new house in the block came
to the rescue and the flames were
extinguished before the arrival of
the hose and hooks teams. The loss
was slight.

A Cement Plant at Chamberlain


A special election will be held next
Tuesday for the purpose of voting up
on the question of issuing bonds to
the extent of 100000 for the purpose
of furnishing bonus for the secur-
ing of a s7s,000 cement plant. The
plan is to issue these bonds and place
them among the citizens. AS they
will be issued in four payments as
the work of installing the plant pro-
crosses tits safe to assume that the
development of the city will at least
keep pace with the issuance of the
bonds. So that from a business point
directly there need be no apprehen-
sion on the question of bonded in
debtedness, for no one need be as
sured that the immediate direct, to
say nothing of the reflex, benefit of.
this great industry will more than
double the wealth and population of
the city during the coming year. The
only question is, Are you in favor
of a greater Chamberlain If-you
arc there should not be vote cast
in opposition to this bond issue next
Tuesday. This cement plant means
oyerything to Chamberlain not in the
future, but right now. Every citizen
of the town should make this a per-
sonal matter next Tuesday. We want
4 full vote. and VIC want the kind of
. vote. We want greater Cham
l,arlain. Will you do your part -

For the Puhlic GOOD.

An Independent and ably edited
newspaper which commands a great
circulation is probably the most po-
tent influence for good in the United
States today. The power for the bet
ter things in public affairs and poll
cies, for instance, which is welded
by such a newspaper as the Chicago
Record-Herald can scarcely be ex-
aggerated, and much of that strength
comes in the case of this leading
Chicago daily from the fact that it
is absolutely independent, fearless
sHd fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece
III any interest except that of the
public. The Record-Herald cham
iens the cause of the good, the clean,
the beneficial in every matter of city,
state or national moment. 1t is the
knowledge on the part of it's readers
that it cares not whom it hits or
what enemies it makes, so long as
it is battling for the welfare of the
community. which gives to the
.Record-Herald much Of the influence
it enjoys. 1t gives in it news COL
ilmns the most complete and impair
tial- reports of political events, an
other evidence OF its spendid ne VS.
service.

THE SITUATION AT LEAD.
The Closing of the Homcstake one
of the Worst Calamitics that
Has Befallen the Mining
District of the Hills
For Years.

For Years.
The recent closing OF fhe Home
stake at Lead is indeed one of the
worst calamities that has overtaken
the Hills mining district for years.
The closing down of this mine, one
of the richest in the United States,
for an indefinite period, throws ont
of employment an army of men who
have dependent upon them fami-
lies for support. The recent
flooding of the mine to quench the
inner fires that broke out some two
weeks ago, means the entire shut
ting down o fthe plant, for several
months. The blow falls heavily up
on the mine-workers and their fami-
lies, but not more SO perhaps than
upon the tradesmen who sold them
supplies. Their business is prac-.
ticaly paralyzed and they together
with the workmen are making up 3
disastrous exodus from Lead and
3Deadwood. No doubt more than half
of this so called exodus is uncalled
for, and, in way, the result of a
kind of panic. Lead will in short
time be all right again, the Home
stake will resume, and those who
have the nerve to weather the storm,
will be the winners in the resume of
the New Lead City, after the reopen
ing of the famous Homestake. While
the disaster in a way profits Rapid
City in that many Of the former
merchants of the unlucky mining
town are getting into business here,
Rapid City exends its heartfelt
sympathy for its sister city Of the
Hills. Their interests have been
Rapid City's interests for many years.,
and will be for many years to come.

demise as chronicled in the evening.

more than twenty years a man al
ways true to his profession and a
genial and kindly man socially.
Judge Moore was essentially self
made man in his profession, having
taken up the study of law late in
life by reason of having lost a leg
in an accident. BY hard and COM
stant application he made for him
self In an unprecedented short time
one u the leading jurists of the
Hills. His s:cquaintenances extend
over a wide scope of the western
country and although he had some
time before his death been trying
to break away from active practice,
IL seemed hard for him to defer his
old clients who we're persistent in
their demands. His friends here

New Nursery to be Started Near
Rapid City-Plans Already
Manned nr1t


now selling fruAt and ornamental
trees from a Nebrska nursery, have
now in contemplation the establish
ing of a nursery nea. this city, where
they will grow nursery stock in Da
kota soil, and which will be suited
to Dakota soil essentially. 1t is the
intention of this firm to either buy
or lease ten to twenty acres of
ground near the city and to get at
the preparation of the ground at
once, with a view to getting ready for
next years business, which promises
10 be the largest in the history of the
Hills. The starting of the first stock
will be from ornamental and shade
tree cuttings the other trees to be
started in the usual way. Mr.. Kinds
is practical nursery man, having.
been in the nursery business in Lin
coin, Neb., g and Huron, S. D. This
firm have set out more than o thous.
and trees in Rapid City this week,
which when grown will add much to
the beauty of the town. There
seems to surely be demand for an
other nursery here, at this time, that
will grow its own stock, that is ad-
apted to the native soil, and it is
believed that there will ge a demand
fer all that can be grown Iii tile next
few. years b" al least two good plants
