Dry Farming Driving Cow ana Sheep
Out of Wyoming and Nebraska.
John Thomas and John Gilland,
have sold to Denver agents of cattle
buyers, 5000 head of mixed cattle,
all ages, for $15O,OO0. Gilland sold
1000 head and Thomas 1000 head,
the average price received being $25
a head. Thomas and Gilland have
for years been the Largest cattle
raisers between Wyoming and the
Nebraska line When the dry farm
ing boom struck this portion of the
country their thousands Of acres of
cattle range. became more valuable
for farming purposes and they sold
out to an Iowa syndicate. The dis
posal of their land left them without
range for their cattle holdings, and
it is for this reason that they have
retired from the stockraising busi-
ness. Their ranches are now being
colonized by farmers from Iowa and
other central states,
An idea of the magnitude of the
dry farming boom in that section
may be gained from the fact that
during the past year GIL homestead
entries, aggregating 109,625 acres,
have been made in the local land
offices.

Two Cent Fares.

| Assistant General Passenger Agent
Buckingham, of the Burlington rail
road, says an Omaha dispatch under
date of July 10th, has announced
that within ten days the Burlington
would put in operation two cent
fare schedule between all points on
that system, regardless of whether
the different states have passed two
cent fare bills. The action of the
Burlington will undoubtedly cause
other roads in the same territory to
follow suit.
From Chicago comes the report
that the western railroads have noti-
fed the interstate commerce commits
sion that July 18th they will make
a general reduction in passenger
rates of interstate trips in Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, maxi
ing two cents mile the basis of all
rates between those states.
July goth the rates will be re-
duced for interstate trips between
Wisconsin and Illinois, and Iowa and
Missouri points to basis of 21a
cents per mile and two cents in other
states, and as soon as possible the
western roads will charge their inter-
state rates to and from Nebraska.
They will not attempt to make a
general reduction of Interstate rates
to points east of Chicago and st.
Louis until the eastern roads have
revised their tariffs.

MILWAUKEE CONNECTED.
The G. NJ. & st. P.'R'y. Track Com.
pleted- Last Spike Driven
Thursday.

On Thursday evening at 6:45 the
last steel rail was placed in posi-
ton, and spiked fast, which united
the east and west end construction
of the Rapid City and Chamberlain
extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul railroad.
In early railroad construction an
event of such momentous Importance
as the completion of railroad, con-
Meeting two important cities, extend
| ing almost across the entire state,
overcoming difficult engineering prop
ositions and representing the ex-
penditure of an immense sum of
money, in those times such an event
would have been carried out in a
much different manner. All the rail-
way officials, state and even national
celebrities would have been present
there would have been imposing
ceremonies, speechmaking, etc., and
the event would have been the oc-
sasion for grand celebration over
the achievement.
But how different things are now
in this age of progress and advance
ment.
Nowadays railroad construction
is looked upon as only one of the
many beneficial agents tending toward
the development of the country.
This state of mind or reasoning is
brought about by the many colossal
enterprises along construction and
engineering lines that are common
today but only few years ago they
would have astonished the world.
The people have been educated UP to
this point and now expect wonder
fgul things to happen along these
lines and when they do happen, the
event is treated only as an incident.
Nevertheless, when the workmen
drove the last spikes holding the steel
rails in position connecting the line,
they were making history for this
section of the country at least. It
was a momentuous event for Rapid
City and this section of the state
even if there were no ostentatious
ceremonies attendant upon the act
1t placed us in line for the most
rapid advancement in our history.
1t gave us the means by which we
can more fully develop our various
resources. 1t protects our weak
points and fortifies our strong ones.
1t undoubtedly will prove one of the
most beneficial agents at our COM
mand, so let us rejoice.

Is Prol,ibitory.


The thirsty in the new towns in
Lyman and Stanley counties are be-
ginning to wonder where they are
at on the liquor question Attorney
General Clark has held that the pres
ent liquor law in South Dakota is
virtually prohibitory law where
there is no town or township organic
alton in which an election has been
called and an affirmative vote on the
license question has been secured.
In the past county commissioners OF
those counties have been granting
such licenses, but they are now hesi-
tating as to action. The residents OF
several of the Lyman county towns
are besieging their county board to
take action, but nothing has been
done to grant them relief up to date,
and where saloons are being operated
in the towns without organization,
they are working at the risk of the
owners.

evening, the chief of police was in

property obnoxious weeds were grow

Now get out your scythe and get to
work. There is no other thing that
impairs the beauty of city as much
as lot of large unsightly weeds
growing along fences, walks and va
cant lots. Besides making the city
look ragged and dirty it is a menace
to health. Come, let's get busy and
clean up at once and see what a
great improvement to the looks of
the city little care and work on

Destroying Timber Beetles.

George D. Stoner and Will Chase
returned Saturday evening from
Custer, says the Lead Call. They
have been in the employ of the United
States timber reserve and have been
working with the force about ten
miles from Custer. The reserve has
about twenty men employed in that
district destroying bug infested tim
Der. All timber that is fit for saw
logs is placed on skids and the bark
removed, exposing the beetle to the
air which effectually destroys the
little bug. The logs are then sold
to various saw mills. 1t is the in
tention to start the work on a much
larger scale about the first of August
and take in all the infested districts
timber.

Popular Young People Wed.

The Hot Springs Star gives the
following account of the marriage
/ of very prominent and popular
couple of that city. The bride is a
niece of Doctor and Mrs. Flick of
this city and she has many friends
and acquaintance here who unite
with us in offering congratulations.
Following is a report of the wedding:
At the home of the brides mother
on Saturday evening at 1880, Miss
Marian Edith Bradley was married
to Major w. A. Tucker in the pres
ence of relative and a very few init
mate friends. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. S. L. McAmis and
was very simple, the couple stand
ing alone beneath beautiful decora-
tions of wedding bells and smilax
while they plighted their VOWS.
Following the ceremony the house
was thrown open for the reception
which some two hundred people at
tended from s to 10 o'clock. White
roses were used profusely for decor
alton. the most beautiful of which
was a large bowlful of magnificent
Meteor roses on the stand in the
dining room, being Offset by smilax
looped around the edge of the stand
from end to end of which was a
strip of ribbon matching the color
Of the roses and ending in lovers
knots.
Delicious refreshments were grace
fully served by members of Mrs.
Bradley's Sunday school class, who
also saw to it that every one present
had a rose as souvenir.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful, from souvenir spoons and
magnificent silver ware to cut glass
and other articles, fancy and useful.
AT the close o fthe reception the
happy couple went to their new home
on Sanitarium hill which the govern
inent has just built and furnished
for the home of the treasurer, which
position Major Tucker has so salts
factorily filled for the past three
years, during which he has made
hosts of friends.
Hot Spings is proud of the bride,
for she has grown to beautiful wo-
manhood here and with her charm
ing manner and accomplishments is
we'll fitted to preside over the treas
urer's attractive new home"
