SOME FRUIT LEFT.
Late Frost Did Not Kill All the Fruit
Chris Thompson Secures
Hardy Peach

Even though Jack Frost did play
a mean trick in returning to the
scene of his winter revels after the
fruit trees were in blossom, there is
some hope of getting a part of the
apple crop according to all reports.
Chris Thomson, the well known
nurseryman, whose property is To-
Gated north of town expects to raise
enough fruit to pay expenses and
other growers will probably fare
equally as we'll. Mr.. Thomson, who
has always been an optimist regard
ing the future Of western South Da-
kota as fruit raising country, feels
certain that once the trees escape the
almost annual ravages of the late
frosts crop will result that should
be a fair sample of what this section
can do in regard to fruit at least.
After making numerous expert
ments, Mr.. Thomson believes he has
discovered variety of peach hardy
enough to stand South Dakota cli-
mate and hopes to prove his asser-
ton by producing some Of the lus-
cious golden globules this season.

FIELD MEET TOMORROW.
Black Hills InferschOIastic Contest
AT Ball Park Morning and

The local High school athletes are
hosts to the representatives of sew
eral other Black Hills schools to-
morrow. They are coming to pit their
proWess against each other in a
field meet to decide the champion
ship of the Hills country.
The meet will be divided in two
sections the juniors pulling of
their event in the morning and the
regular High school meet is billed
for the afternoon session.
iDeadwood is reputed to have a
fast bunch in the dashes, one of the
men being bright particular star
in this line. Not much is known re-
garding the calibre of the Lead and
Sturgis boys, but races and field
events should rove interesting
enough to suit the average specta-
tor.
The members of the Rapid City
squad are Keliher, Gale, Wood, Max
we'll, Thomas, Potter, Surface, Holly,
Lenhart and McElroy. The team is
somewhat weakened by the absence
of Walter and Joe Royse who were
called away on account of their
brothers death, but the local stars
are still confident of making a good
showing.
A combination program and score
card has been gotten up for the oc-
casion, which will undoubtedly meet
with the approval of the spectator
who may care to keep track of the
point winners. All the contestants
will be numbered, an innovation Of
great value to the officials.
An admission fee of twenty-five
cents is to be charged. This vii
admit ticket holders to both Junior
and High school meets.

six months, coming here from the
east side of the state, where he was
very successful Although he has
been here but a short time, he has al
ready drawn a large circle of friends
and admirers about him and the
Presbyterian people are congratulate

An interesting fact in connection
with the ceremonies last evening lies
in the fact that Rev. Upton, who as
sisted so materially. was a classmate
OF Rev Surbeck's at the theological
seminary.

sufficient to satisfy the owners so
a change was in order and that it
was forthcoming is evidenced by the
following article in the Pioneer
Times:

experience yesterday. 1t consisted
OF ringing up the fares of passen-
gers on a cash register. instead of
tearing coupon slips which has been
the method of keping tab in vogue
on the Northwestern between Lead
and Deadwood ever since the service
was established. When you pay a
cash fare now the conductor pulls a
lever and registers it, all the same
trolley.
There is an interesting little story
not down on the bills in connection
with the adoption of the new system
and the new rules now in vogue, for
be 1t known. that no transportation
other than cash or a ticket now goes
between Lead and Deadwood, with

issued to employees of other roads
The Northwestern people it is claim

between the two Black Hills cities
They made an investigation last
month. it is said, on the sales of the
burlington, via the trolley line, and
discovered that they were way to
the bad so far as carrying passen-
gers in concerned. They did this
through the method of buying a troll
ley ticket on the first and on the
last days Of the month.
Just how the Northwestern people
expect to carry the number of pass
engers the trolley does between Lead
and Deadwood. with their line about
two miles longer, is a question that
has not been explained. But, to get

Although the Royse family has
