! On the 9th day Of November,
1903 there was deposited in the
banks Of Stanley county almost 4
million dollars or to be exact
S94l, ,27l.2l. This is certainly a
good showing for y county which
few years since was without
settlers with the exception of a
few scattered ranchers. The de-
velopmcnt of Stanley county dur
ing the past three years has been
u surprise to everyone and the
next few years will prove that

county. .-Kadoka Press.

scarcity of good milch cows all
over the United States and there
is likihood of a milk and butter
