SOUTH DAKOTA STANDS WELL
D"ane Robinson Presents Statistics 8
of interest to all Persons Now
or Hereafter to Become
Residenfs

Doane Robidson of the state sta
tistical department has been work.
ing out comparative figures on pro-
duction of new wealth in the north
western states, using the government
figures to work from, and finds that
for the last year South Dakota con-
tinued to hold first place in produc-
tion of new wealth per capita Of pop
ulation. The figures show that the
cereal production of the states Of To-.
wa, Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, from the period ex-
tending from 1900 to 1908, on per cap
ita of population, were: Iowa, s676. 81;
Minnesota, $463.O5; North Dakota,
81, l07.5O; South Dakota, 81,l14.O6.
The live stock figures for the same
period are: Iowa. s97.5O; Minnesota,
s62.60; North Dakota, s171.3O; South
Dakota, 1929. 40.
For the year 1908 the cereal produc-
tion per capita Of these states was:
Iowa, s97.5O; Minnesota, see.3O; North
Dakota, $4,000; South Dakota, $685.
80.
These figures show that South Da-
ikota continues to hold the lead for
production OF new wealth per capita
among the states of the northwest, and
with the increased area opened to
production the last few years will no
doubt hold 1t for some time to come.

Makes Good Showing

A dispatch from Pierre says the
Phillip creamery, which was started
the past summer, makes a report on
the first four months, showing that
there was paid out for cream, o., 500.
The receipts were 81, ,4S4 from sale of
ice cream; and %, Ill from the sale Of
butter. This for the opening up Of
this enterprise Is considered to be a
very good showing, with all indica-
tions of increasing business for next
year. In this same relation, the state
dairy commissioner reports to the
state treasurer, that there are In
the state one hundred creameries liza
BILE to the tax on creameries provided
under the inspection law; and that
there are 16different concerns outside
the state buying cream in the state,
who are also liable to the tax.

encased him in what appeared a living
grave, he was able to reach the top of
the shaft and breath pure air again.
The nearest house was about two
miles distant, and as he was alone
and unable to, walk On account aof
his, leg having been broken In two
places, he was confronted by condi-
tion little better than in the shaft.
He rolled and dragged himself by
means of one leg and his left arm to

shelter, while physician was hastily
summoned from Memo. Examine
tion Of his condition disclosed his
right leg broken in two places. right
arm broken, several bruises and lacer-
ations with all indications of serious

Street LIGHTS
WILL Be MORE
COSTLY

The gorgeous illumination of
the streets in Tacoma will have
to be cut off, or additional ex-
pense will be incurred, now that
the wet weather has come.
When the lights were put up
the council ordered the work done
as cheaply as possibly. with the
idea that they were to be taken
down at the close of the A. Y. p.
exposition. The illumination
proved such a good show that the
council wants it kept up now, and
recently the lights were ordered
retained.
City Electrician Lauzon was
not working then. When he got
back into the harness he immedi-
ately wrote to the council telling
them that the wiring on the
streets for this special illumina-
ton will not stand wet weather.
The council expressed surprise,
and now the electrician will fur
nish an estimate of how much it
will cost to go all over the work
and fix it for wet weather.
