CHAPTER XVI.

~ was showed away from the
SN side Of the steamer there were
7 eight men aboard. Six grasped
the oars, and the young clerk who had
signed the documents given to him by
the captain took the rudder, motioning
Lermontoff to a seat beside him. Ali
the forward part of the boat and in
deed the space well back toward the
stern was piled with boxes and bags.
What is this place called?" asked
the prince. but the young steersman
did not reply.
Tying the boat to iron rings at the
small landing where the steps began,
three of the men shipped their oars.
Each threw a bag over his shoulder,
walked up half dozen steps and wait
ed. The clerk motioned Lermontoff to
follow, so he stepped on the shelf of
rock and looked upward at the rugged
stairway cut between the main island
and an outstanding perpendicular ledge
of rock. The steps were so narrow
that the procession had to move up in
Indian file-three men with bags, then
the prince and the clerk, followed by
three more men with boxes. Lennon
toff counted 237 steps, which brought
him to an elevated platform projecting
from a doorway cut in the living rock,
but shielded from all sight of the sea.

doorway. but did not illumine suff1-

Quietest Day Of the Strike.

Yesterday was the quietest day OF
the street car strike There were few
disturbances and the police say they
had the situation well in hand all aft
ernoon. While no extra police have
been sworn in the regular men are sta
toned on all the important corners in
the city, and whenever crowd gath
ers it is dispersed. Chief of Police
Brennecke said that he believed he
was able to cope with the situation.
Several efforts were made by Mayor
Boehne. the state labor commissioners
and citizens to get the company and
strikers together and arbitrate the
strike, but no agreement was reached.
Peace May Be I'm Sight.
Notwithstanding the foregoing indi-
cations are that a settlement of the
strike may be in sight Much depends
on what will happen when the cars
are run at night If there is no vio-
lence it is believed the company and
its men will get together. probably not
for a few days yet, but sooner than
if rioting continues. The company an,
nounced that 1t will hold open the
places its men left when they went
on strike Thursday, for a few days,
but if they persist in remaining away
they will be discharged and all chance
to get back will be gone.

From the above abstract of the state
historians report it appears tina. the
residents of South Dakota have no
reason to complain of the returns for
their labor during the past year. The
figures indicate not only plenty, but a
substantial surplus, and our citizens
can approach the season of yearly
thanksgiving with the feeling that
beneficent providence has not ceased
to be mindful Of their interests. not
withstanding the temporary incon-
veniences imposed by the unwise
conduct of certain of their fellowmen.

AGRICULTURAL WEALTH.
ID, d. Wipf, Secretary of Sta

A review of the figures furnished by
the State Department of history, of
South Dakota, cannot fail to impress
one with the wonderful fertility of our
South Dakota soil, and with the rapid
growth in material wealth which the
past few years have brought says the
Sioux Falls Press. The report of this
department for 1907 places the grand
total value of all products of the state
at $l6O, ,232, ,344.79. These figures
show an increase in total crop valua
.tion, since 1900, of over fifty millions
of dollars.
A general summary of the produc
ton of the various farm products for
the past year shows that the state pro-
duced ~

vegetables, fruits. dairy products, live
stock and minerals, bring the figures
up to the total given above. In actual
marketings the total for 1907 exceeds
that of the previous year by something
over three million dollars, the figures
for the currant year being $90.96l,
$4,000.
1t is well known fact that the yield
per acre of most farm crops in 1907
has not been up to that of the previous
year, but the marked advance in the
prices of grain of all kinds has more
than made up for this deficiency. The
official figures also show considera-
BILE falling off in the values of the live
stock marketed from South Dakota
during the past year, and this is at
tributable to the increased homestead
movement into the range country west
of the Missouri river, and the conse-
quent contraction in the handling of
cattle from Texas. But while the
number of animals marketed under
the new order of things is lessened,
there is a marked improvement in the
quality of the stock offered for market.
The output of hogs has increased ma
terially, and there has been no falling
off in the production of sheep and
horses.
Dairying and poultry raising are
pursuits of ever increasing Importance
in this state, and farmers, especially
in the eastern part of the state, are
turning their attention more and more
to these interests, to the partial exclu-
sion of extensive grain raising.
The output of minerals has been
materially curtailed by serious labor
troubles during the past year, but
these difficulties have at last been sat
isfactorily adjusted, and the mines
and mills are now said to be running
at their full capacity. A disastrous
fire at the Homestake mine was also
the cause of much less in mineral
products, but that has been eliminat
ed.
In summing up the material pros
perity of the people of the state the
historian says:
"The finances of the people are in
an unusually healthy condition. The
state not only has funds for all of the
demands of her people, but she is able
to lend large sums to eastern parties,

WHAT ARCHBISHOP IRELAND SAYS

By all means, let us have the Lin
coin Farm. The land upon which
Abraham Lincoln was born, and upon
which he spent hi1 early youth, is too
sacred to be turned over to vulgar
every day purposes. 1t must be for
all time one. of Americas venerat d
shrines, over which the spirit of Am, r
lea shall hold undisputed sway, and
whittier worshipers shall come from
every cline to honor it and inhale its
sublime anc purifying life. Let it be
the freewilled offering of the people
of America, the gift of their hearts,
the generous effusion and expansion
of their very souls. Patriotism allows
naught else, by naught else will pa
triotism be nurtured into best and
sweetest towering John Ireland.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Pierre, Nov. 4.-(Special to the
Argus-Leader.) Governor Crawford
has issued his Thanksgiving procla-
nation, which is as follows:
From the time when the American
colonies had population of three
million struggling people, paying tri-
butte to an English king, forbidden
under heavy penalty 10 manufacture
goods and build commerce, down to
this day when our great nation has
become the commercial and industrial
mistress of the world and the peace
arbiter of international disputes, it
has been an established custom at this
season of the year to set apart for the
people a day of thanksgiving and
praise.
In accordance with this time hon
ored and beautiful custom, and in
compliance with the proclamation of
the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, |, Coe |. Crawford. governor of
the State of South Dakota, do hereby
designate and set apart, Thursday,
the 2Sth day of November next as
day of Thanksgiving and prayer.
Conscious of blessing and privilege
vouchsafed to us, and conscious of our
responsibilities and short t-comings, we
should lift up our hearts in sincere
gratitude to the great Giver of All
Good for that guidance which has
made us nation standing not for
despotism, not for special privilege,
not for aristocracy, but for civil and
religious liberty, for equality before
the law, for justice for all people;

opportunities to make life strong in

thankful for abundant labor and its
rich reward; for health and plenty;
for comfortable homes; for wide
prosperity.
The past year has been the most
prosperous in history of this common
wealth. Contentment, happiness,
health, and plenty are universal
blessings throughout the state. In
the midst of material prosperity, there
has come an advancement toward
higher ideals in individual, social and
political life.

people of this state on the day named,
observe it il the spirit of gratitude
and thanksgiving and that in their
homes and houses of worship grateful
acknowledgment be made to the Al

THERE are many who believe that
the financial crisis recently ex-
perience was deliberately planned
and brought about by the trust mag
mates in the hope of convincing the
people that the business men of the
country, that class controlling the
wealth, had ''lost confidence" because
of the attitude of President Roose-
velt toward the trusts. That such is
the case there is no reason to doubt.
And the only thing that prevented
the Wall Street interests from accom-
plishing their object was the prompt
action of the treasury department in
dumping millions into Wall Street
banks. The interests" hardly ex-
pected, it and when they saw it being
done there was just one thing left to
10, and they did it, to aid in ''restor-
ing the confidence" that they them
selves had planned TO lose. Under
the present conditions and the sys-
tenn of banking it is poss BILE for Wall
street to ''lose its confidence" when
ever it is most convenient and to pre-
cipitate a panic, which is made worse
by the timid man of small capital. A
period of values is necessary to the
"high finance" boys who load up at
such a time and then restore conf
dence and unload during an "era of
prosperity" That's the system in a
nutshell. There was no more reason
for ''loss of confidence" during the
first part of October of this year than
thare was year ago. Wall Street
had hundreds of millions belong
ing to western banks which he refus-
ed to ship west because OF lack of
confidence" What an excused A

audacious one. He has the temerity
TO announce himself candidate for
congress without first asking the con

Yes, and also in face of the fact that,
at the last state convention, he express
ed on the platform the opin on that
Messrs. Hall and Parker should be
kept in their congressional seats as
long as they would consent to serve,
and also the personal hope that this
would be done. The nerve of that
man is certainly surprising Sioux

1t will result in good, however. 1t

idea that the campaign against the
trusts must be carried to completion,
