THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

We are in the midst of a beautiful
autumn. Small grains and fruits have
been gathered: the thresher has COM
pleted his work; in q few days the
great corn cropwill have been cribbed,
and the winters fuel Laid in. There is
enough for all and to spare. The la
borer7is employed, the tradesman is
tiourishing, the farmer is prosperous
Our schools and colleges are filled
with eager students. Moral and spirit
ual forces are at work. Our people
are enjoying good health Peace and
plenty abound Our beloved State
has taken high place in the sister
hood which constitutes the greatest
republic in the world. How titting it
is, that with all these reminders of
His riches aid grace, we should give
all praise and gratitude to that boun-
tifule Providence from Whom all
blessings flow.
In harmony with the proclamation
of the President, i, Coe /. Crawford,
as Governor of the State of South
Dakota, do hereby designate and set
apart THURSDAY THE 10Th DAY or
NOVEMBER, 1908, as a day Of TuASKs-
GIVING AND PRAYER.
Let us not be yainglorions. While
human nature is endowed with much
that lustities the saying that man is
created in the image of his maker. we
too often witness acts of passion, vio
lence and maleyolence that show too
narrow margin between the human
and the brute. The frenzy of the mob.
the lawlessness of the night-rider. on
the one hand, and the riotous living of
many men and women of wealth on the
other, disclosed tendencies frought with
the greatest dangers to society The.
simple virtues of honesty, purity and
apiety; the maintenance of the family
and home, and the rearing Of children
in the love of God, these are the
things that count for vastly more
than all our material wealth.
recommend Ghat the people OF this
State on the day above named, in the
spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving,
in the homes and houses of worship,
give grateful acknowledgment to the
Almighty for His kindness and gtid-
ing care during The past year.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of South Da-
kota to be affixed.
Done at the Capitol, in the City Of
Pierre, this 9th day of November, A.

WEALTH TO BE ANNEXED.

Activity and well-directed energy
insure success in the west. A man
without these qualities will be fail
ure anywhere, but with them he can
do wonders in a land where his efforts
are met more than half way by tang
ible results. The southwest is not til Q
place for the idle, indolent dreamer
or visionary. Wealth is not. to be
annexed without personal effort; it is
the reward Of labor, here as elsewhere.
However, there are no places on earth
today offering greater numbers and
varieties of opportunities that may
be found in the great and growing
state of South Dakota.

COUNTY DIVISION RESULT.

just what the result on division of
Butte county will be shown by the
vote is not yet known on account of
the scattered precincts of the county.
But three men from the northeastern
part of that county, including the
Lennon precinct, were certain that
the proposition ought to carry.
They passed through this city Satur-
day with the ballot boxes from their
precincts, on their way to the county
seat at Belle -Fourche, with a trip of
practically six hundred miles to get
to that place, going by way to get to

MILWAUKEE THROUGH THE HILLS

The fact that number of surveyors
in the employ of the Milwaukee Rail-
road company have for some little
time been running lines westward
from Mystic through the Black Hills
to the eastern part of Wyoming has
caused the belief that it is the inten-
tion of the company at an early day
to construct line westward from
Rapid City through Wyoming, for the
purpose of connecting at some point
in southern Montana with the Pacific
coast line of the company.

a report reached New Orleans last

subtefranean lake has been found un-
der the proposed site of one of the
locks Of the Panama canal at Matum5

several years in the completion of the
canal and a much larges outlay of
money than at first anticipated. Ac-.

was made some time ago and has been
kept secret. The engineers at Col

WILL BURN CRUDE OIL.
Union Electric Co. Installs Plant al
the River.

The Union Electric Co. will burn
crude oil in the furnaces at the River
Side Light and Power Plant. An oil
burning outfit is being installed
which will increase the capacity Of
the boilers forty-tive per cent. This
will insure a more even and better
current. A big cement storage tank
has been built which will hold $1,000
gallons Of crude oil. From the tank
the oil is pumped to receiver, there
mixed with steam and then sprayed
into the furnace. The spraying pro-
cess makes hot quick fire. The
Union Electric Co. is always working
for better service and the new oil
burning plant is only another step In
that direction.
