been called upon to pay a death loss in
the state on any of their new business

OUR NATURAL. RESOURCE.
Natural Gas VIII Make Pierre a Great
City.


City.
The country hereabouts has an abun-
dant supply of natural gas which flows
with artesian well water. This gas
supply is utilized by many farmers for
light, heat and power. 1t being the
most successful engine fuel. The cities
of Pierre aud Fore Pierre use it for en-.
CINE power exclusively. 1t is also used
for lighting, cooking anu heating. 1t
saves the Capital City many thousand
dollars annually for engine fuel. These
engines pump all the water used in the
city for hydrant, domestic, lawn and
street sprinkling, and railroad supply.
They drive the great electric light dyn.
amos which furnish street light and in.
candescent lights as we'll. The net in
come to the city is between $4,000 and
$4,000 month, when few years ago
it cost nearly $1,000 month alone for
hydrant rentals and limited street light
supply, making net gain to the city
OF nearly $4,000 annually.
| Private plants can put down a we'll at
a reasonable cost and have power sup
ply to run any kind of machinery. This
resource alone means the building Of a
great city here. 1t means that private
capital can be invested here and have
an assurance of cheap power and fuel
forever in manufacturing enterprises.
Remember the great natural gas belt
around Pierre, the only natural fuel
supply west of the great lakes, south of
Canada and north of the Kansas line.
1t means world of attraction for the
| future.
Pierre has no money to give to the
| promotion of visionary enterprises nor
to the development of patent right
schemes. She does, however, invite
any and all institutions for which there
lis a demand here and stands ready to
assist in every way possible the getting
of same.
i Pierre takes special pride in her
SPLENDID System of public schools,
which rank among the very best to be
found iE this state. With three beauti-
full school buildings costing over $35,-
600 each, there is now demand for
still another building which will be i'm.
mediately erected.
4 Allof the leading denominations are
represented, having beautiful and
commodious places Of worship.
! Our people are liberal patrons Of
music and all of the fine arts, making
this a most desirable place from the
standpoint Of all social advantages.
Our large Auditorium and Exposi-
ton building is utilized in September
of each year for what is known as our
Gas Belt Exposition, at which time all
the counties lying in this the central
portion of our state and in the Natural
Gas Belt Region, bring here the pro-
nucts of their farms and various in
dustries for exhibition and competition
The use Of natural gas is also shown in
the generating Of power for machinery
of all kinds.
During the week of these Expositions
this city secures the finest musical tai
ent obtainable for concert purposes
AT the first exposition, held Sept II to
to 20, 1907. Sorrentino's famous Banda
!, Rosa was the leading musical attrac-
tion and was sample of the high class
music that can be heard here every
