THE SUNSHINE SONG.

Many OF the metropolitan news
papers are encouraging their readers
to believe that there IS return Of
prosperity. Not promised prosperity,
but the real thing--on paper.
The Brooklyn Eagle. reports that
there is actually a shortage Of un-
skilled labor at Pittsburg AS Brook
lyn Is evidently doubtful OF the
amount OF prosperity on tap, and
stilI IN the dumps, The Eagle tries to
rally the spirits'of its citizens by say
ing.
"PittsbTg does not mince matters.
liz has no doubts, It does not hest
tate to say that prosperity has re-
turned. II points to the railroads
having their headquarters in that
city. and shows that they have order
ed their repair shops on double time.
II points out jubilanty that many of
the railroads have been caught short
OF cars IN this sudden return Of
prosperity so the car-building com.
panies are preparing themselves to
meet a big demand"
There has been, It ia true, studied
attempt 10 revive business at Pitts
burg but the improvement ID so small
as to hardly be noticeable, and there
are stiIl thousands Of men unemploy-
ed. The fact that there are miles OF
unemployed engines and cars ON side
tracks. over 100000 Of them. and that
the gross earnings OF railroads are
still showing a large loss from last
year, hardly proves the truth Of the
claims sent out BY the Pittsburg Sun.

Of dispute over political matters
that is. MI. Darby was "cooI'' toward
US, but we felt as kindly towards him
as ever. and when we heard Of his
death we wrote a nice tribute to the
man as we knew him. But Tom
Darby was not dead then, as he has
proven not to be in this instance. and
when we next met him he took our
hand and said "Mc, the kind words
You said about me when you thought
was beneath the sod show that you
have no IN feeling towards me- and
/ assure you that ! have none against
you" From that day to this we have
been fast friends We stood shoulder
to shoulder in the great Senatorial
fight in the Legislature Of 1897, and
served on joint committees together.
Mr.. Darby being in the Senate then
and the writer in the House. He
was Woodworking member, always
alert to the interests Of his consti-
tuents, aud the people Of Putnam
county made no mistake in electing
him TO represent them.
Senator Darby has made and lost
two or three fortunes. and his friends
throughout the state will be glad to
hear that he is still alive and prosper
ing. May he and his estimable wife
be spared many years Of future hap
piness.

a residence there of three years.
Thursday of last week johnson went
to Van Metre after groceries, crossing
the river in a boat. He secured the
supplies, and left on his return home
He failed to arrive that night, and a
search the next morning showed the
boat with the groceries intact at a
point about two miles down the
stream. On the south bank, the one
nearest his home, his coat was found
at about the place where he started
with the boat on his way to the store.
The stream was quite high at the
time he crossed it, but since that time
it has gone down to normal. A search
had not revealed any evidence of the
body up to yesterday. While the
body ofJohnson may be in the stream.

THE AGE OF coMMERc1ALIsM.

There is always some reason for
success In this age of commercials
ism, everything must have some real
merit i'll it to be a lasting success. !.
Anything must be worth ones time
and money, or the public will soon
relegate it to the rubbish pile. This
is as true of plays as of everything
else. They must be real, sterling
sound and solid value to have a long
continued success. The'eyer growing
triumph of Clarence Benefits s'The
Holy City," which has so completely
distanced all other religious plays
and has so endeared itself to the
American theatre-going public, tells
its own story of the triumph of real
merit and true worth. Mr.. Bennett
himself will be seen here Tuesday,
November 10, in this production
which guarantees it's merits. The
dance Of Salome is another drawing
feature and is handled gracefully by
Edna Marshal.

HCN. c. H. BURKE TALKS POLITICS.

Chamberlain Register: The people
OF Chamberlain and vicinity had an
opportunity to hear Hon. Chas. H,
Burke, republican candidate for CON
gress, for the first time "Wednesday
evening at the court house. MANY of
our people had got the idea some wav
that Mr.. Burke was not much of a
speaker, but those who heard him
know different. Without question,
he made the best talk along political
lines that has been given here for
years. His speech was entirely de-
void of any abuse and was confined
to clear and concise presentation of
the issues now before the American
people. He had u good audience and
they listened with the closest atten-
ton throughout his remarks.

A CHANGED CONDITION.

Men are enconntering a new set Of
conditions in the central west. A
corn crop below normal in 1907 and
another of the same in 1903 has made
the grain prices look very high to the
feeder, and it is surprising if it tests
the nerve even of old timers. When
men can sell corn direct as high as 10
cents buslel the incentive to feed it
to their steers or hogs with the possi-
bility of not getting over cents for
the weight put on is not very great,
and the quickest way out of it is to
simply make cash deal and sell the
corn. 70 change over to the grain
selling policy, however, is not farming
in the best sense OF the term. 1t is
soil robbing. Values will eventually
be adjusted so as to offer sufficient
stimulation to men to feed their own
grain. But those among our farmers
who are wisest IN their day and gen
| Grafton will not change, but will con-
tinue the policy OF feeding as usual
even if for no other purpose than that
Of maintaining the. soils fertility

Minnesota is one Of the richest
dairy states i'll the union, yet a Min
nesota expert on the subject, after
attending the South Dakota Dairy
mems association, told the Minnea-
polls papers, upon his return, that
South Dakota is destined to be as
great a dairy state, at no distant date,
as Minnesota is. There is no reason
why this prediction should not come
true. The state has the natural re-
sources to make it true. All that is
required is intelligent work on the
part Of the farmers, and year by year
with the growth of interest in dairy.

SOUTH DAKOTA FOR WEALTH.

For the past ten years South Dako-
ia has ranked among the foremost
states of the Union in the amount of
wealth produced per capita and also
the amount of individual bank de-
poslts. For several years they have
hung around the 500 mark and this
year, Notwithstanding the great in
crease i'll population, has already
reached the S122 per capita mark, a
total increase of S9,5OO,000.00 over
that Of last year and the crops and
live stock of the state have not yet
began to move. When these arc
marketed and the money deposited
the next bank reports will show de-
posits amounting, approximately to
STE, 200, ,e00.0D or $50 per capita based
on population of 100000, a showing
which it will be hard for any state il,

FAST FOOT BALL CAME
Pierre and Huron Teams Entertained a
Big Crowd Saturday.

Lovers of the old English -Ameri-
can sport in Pierre had their appetites
fora good game somewhat appeased
last Saturday when they witnessed
the Pierre high school team defeat the
Huron high school.team by score of
3S to o.
The Huron team greatly outweigh
eel the Pierre team, but our boys over
came this by speedy and heady play
ing. The forward pass was used with
great success as ground gamer, and
they kept the visitors guessing as to
where the next one was going to ap-
pear at. Because of the heavy weight
OF their opponents the home team
used the line smash very little, but
TINS was the strong play of the Huron
team.
10 mention any of the players or to
give any of their plays would be i'm
possible, because all of the players
were exceptionally good in their re-
spectlve positions. The Pierre boys
were never at a loss as to gaining
ground because they were. ever on the
alert and their plays were all ground
gamers.
Coach Auracher deserves great
deal OF praise for the splendid way in
which he has trained the boys, and he
may Justly be proud of them.
The game between the Fort Pierre
high school and the Pierre high school
second teams was we'll played and re-
suited in a score of 900.
The only disappointing feature Of
the game was the very poor patronage
afforded the boys. They now have
the best chance they ever had for the
state championship, so let's all get
out and boost for them, or at least
help them in their expenses.

OIL FIND IS REPORTED.

Artesan well driIlers at work on
the Rentz place, a short distance
northeast Of Hayes, report having
found oil at a depth of several hun
dred feet. Just how much of supply.
they do not say, but sufficient to show
that it does exist. OIL discoveries
are also reported in Buffalo county.
With the existence Of natural gas pro-
ven in the Missouri valley, and the
traces of oil at different places in the
state, there is no question that South
Dakota will at some time, with the
proper methods employed for testing
develop a good oil or natural gas field.
Old time oil men from eastern fields
have been over the ground number of
times in the past two years, and at
| places a large amount of land is being
held on oil lease options.
A great deal of the land in Hughes
and Sully counties is held under such
contracts. The only reason given by
the Oil men for not putting their money
into the project at once is that while
all indications are SO widespread, that
the location of the field is too indie
finite to settle by surface locations,
but that it certainly will be found at
some place, when local capital will
take the chance Oh prospecting for it
and when it is found there will be
plenty Of capit.il ready to further
develop the find.

FOR RIVER NAVIGATION
Chas. F. DeLand Strongly Advocates Big
waterways Improvement

SHoo' So AeA-aid otTOnSiy advocates Big
waterways Improvement.
The August number OF the Modern
Merchant, published in Kansas City,
contained an able article from the
pen of Charles +. Deland, upon the
subject of Clipper Missouri River
Navigation" 1t is by far the most
forceful article upon the subject of
river Improvement written to date
The Modern Merchant, editorially
pays Mr.. Del.and this splendid com
pliment.
III the present number appears one
OF the most valuable contributions
to inland waterways literature that
has ever been written. The author
MI. Chas. e, De1.and of Pierre, S. D.,
shows with masterly insight the vast
ly profitable commercial opportuni-
ties afforded by the upper Missouri
river country through an extension of
steamboating from the lower to the
upper reaches of the most wonderful
river on the globe. From Mr.. De
Lands eloquent pen the truly tre-
mendous possibilities Of cheap trans
portation unfold scene of wizardrv
from an Arabian Night, but their
convincing tangibility destroys this
chlmera of comparison and the au-
thentic statistical figures prove the
probability of it's accomplishment.
NO business man Can read this article
without being tremendously impress
ed by the extent of resources, as vet
undeveloped, contained in the north
west country tributary to the unused
but navigable waterway draining it
for hundreds of miles. MI. DeLand
has SO marshaled his surprising but
authenticated facts that the need for
consideration and utilization of these
potential factors of progress and de-
velopment are manifest. Internal
improvement as MI. DeLand shows
SO conclusiyely will be very much
hastened by the use of the upper
Missouri i'll conjunction with lower
Missouri river navigation. The posi-
tlon of the United States in CONNER
cial prestige, the keeping within her
own borders the great benefits result
ing from such consummation is
vitality dependent upon a practical
demonstration of Mr.. DeLand S sug
gestions. The Canadians to the north
Of us realize the possibilities of
waterways and that government is
hard at work making them actualities.
AS the author points out, Canada
VIII SO handicap our development
unless we get valiantly to work as to
place us under the worst brand of
competition we have ever known.
With the canals building, other pro-
Jected and still others now in use the
past influx Of Americans to the vast
agricultural domains north Of us will
be as nothing to the emigration that
will be.
The inducement is world old cheap
land, productive land and cheap trans
portatlon- water transportation. Mr.
Del4and is not a dreamer. He is
very much i'll earnest and very much
Interested. The Modern Merchant
appreciates the opportunity given of
publishing this article and recon-
mends it's reading to every merchant
subscriber.
