A LOCAL TRUST.

A fine illustration of the length to which the anti-corporation spirit may be carried was afforded in the course of the controversy over the Lee prop erty in Tonto Basin which has just been more or less amicably settled out of court The parties in interest were John Lee on one side. and the Recls- nation Service. or more directly, the Salt River Valley Water Users Asso- citation on the other
 The case had it's origin in Gila county. but the association moved for change of venue on the ground of preju- dice in the community. A peculiar bit terness, more than could be accounted for by an ordinary contest involving dollars and cents was infused into the case on the part of the Gila ranchman whose lands were doomed to submer- sion by the rising waters of the Tonts dam. Not nearly so much personal feeling would have been manifested by Lee, his friends and sympathiZers, il the party in opposition had been an individual or an unorganized number of individuals, but they were not un- organized on the contrary, they were incorporated, and so, constituted a hat ed corporation. That was why MT. Lee thought he was going to be robbed Of his belongings. He felt already the tentacles of the octopus fastening themselves about him.
 This corporation. for it must be confessed, it is a corporation-we may add. there was never and could be never. more monopolistic corporation is composed entirely of farmers, many Of whom from their various points of view regard other corpora tions with a horror hardly surpassed by that of MT. Lee.
 This incident goes to show the sen selessness Of what We may call trust phcbia The average corporation is as harmless as that which terrified the Tonto ranchman; the purposes of it's members are as pure as those which inspire the members of MT. Lees bug bear and its formation was as neces- sary as was the organization of the Salt River Valley Water Users AssO- Ciation.
 But it is rather a joke on our farm CTS to be regarded as constituents of trust.

THE TROOPS AT GoLDFIELD.

Tn sending of the regular troops to Goldfield may or may not have been warranted. but in any event. the Western Federation of Miners are making d characteristic mistake in appealing to congress against the ac- ton of the president. They thereby admit that the troops were dispatched to Goldfield to suppress the lawless- ness of members of the order. If there is no Iawlessness now and if none is contemplated. the striking miners will not be embarrassed or inconven- fenced at all by the presence of the troops. If there is no need of the sol diers at Goldfield. the people at that town. those who may feel d pride in itS reputation for good order. are the only ones to be heard to complain; but nc complaint has been made by tbe business men of the town and they are certainly more competent to judge of Goldfield's present requirements than the Denver officials of the Western Federation
 The latter allcge that the ordering out of the troops was the result of a con spiracy between Wall Street interests and Governor Sparks" l. is not clear what further object this conspiracy is designed to effect. There is a strike at Goldfield: the miners are idle and almost penniless. The conspiracy can not therefore be directed against their wealth and well being, for their situ- ation could not be made worse than it i, by the presence of the troops. And we do not see how it could bc made better by their absence if the miners intend to remain law abiding.

For the Public 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 newspaper as the Chicago
RecordHerald 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
md fair. 1t is not the mouthpiece
Of any interest except that of the
public. The Record-Herald cham
lions 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 its 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
much of the influence
lit enjoys. 1t gives in it news col
unans the most complete and impair
Ttial reports of political events, an
other evidence OF its spendid ne US
service.

of this so called exodus is uncalled

Secretary Jones of the Commercial

tors from the secretary of the Com

that the Denver business men are ar
ranging for date to come to Rapid
City early in May, perhaps, and not
later than the 22nd, when they are
to come here in body, for the pur-
pose OF getting in touch with the
trade relations of Rapid City and for
the purpose of getting acquainted
with its business men, and its citi-
zens generally. This is something
gratifying to know that commercial
center like Denver should take no.
tice of the growth of Rapid City,
and that it should care to come over

Club of Denver will be given the

from Denver will find the latch

NORTH RAPID (|T1
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED LOTS

CITY WATER.
UNION REPORTER VISITS THE
ADDITION.
NORTH RAPID BOOMING.
Nearly One Hundred Lots Sold
Since the Beautiful Suburb
Got City Mater

Some of the newer citizens
know Of the beauty of the suburb
on the north side of Rapid river.
A reporter for the Union accepted
an invitation Monday by Mr.. Ed
ward Allen, of Allen Bros, for a
drive out to this beautiful plateau.
After passing over labrynth of
tracks that make up the supply
yards of the Northwestern and maxi
ing the ascent of a stony hill, it was
to stand facing a bustling and
busy suburb. There was the sound
of the hammer and the trowel amid
a half dozen frames that will with
in the week become dwellings, where
within 1.-THE month people will be
living there and there will be twen-
ty new dwellings in sight Among
those now building are G. G.. Clark,
Nels P. Nelson, Joe LeMear,I. s..
Englebricht, Albert D. Ramsell
Among those who are to build are g.
Davey, G.. w. Barr, David T. Bum
garner, +. d. Rose, j. E. Knox and
Mrs Voy Ninety of these lots have
been sold since the turning on Of
the city water, less than month
ago and they are going fast. This
fiat is a tract OF $40 acres extend
ing one mile of the city's length,
from West to East Boulevard. The
entire tract is practically level
able, but undulating sufficiently
for good drainage. The tract is
surveyed and the streets have been
laid out and named. Water hy-
drants are in and ready for tapping.
The water pressure can be reckoned
as good, when it is known that the
plat is 125 fet below tn elevel Of
the city reservoir. No doubt" said
ME- Alten, t1iis~, land might have
been the residence part of the old
town had this section Of land not
been held for many years as a
school section"
Indeed, here is where the resi-
dence part of Rapid City should
have been from all points of view,
and without doubt, it will now,
become to Greater Rapid City what
Englewood is to Chicago, the clean,
airy place to live, away from the
noisome town. The view here is
at once landscape painting. Up
Rapid pass can be seen the Indian
School and Harney Peak; down the
valley is a sublime view of that rich
farming district; to the south, look
ing over the panorama of the city,
and the hills and on the left the
smelter and all of those wierd black
peaks to the southeast and picture
altogether that it would seem one
could look at all summer and not
become aweary Of the scene.
Within short time the city will
bridge Rapid creek at West Boule-
ward which will open a popular
drive that will circle through this
addition and environ the entire out
skirts of the city.
