RANGE COUNTRY GETS
10000 NEW SETTLERS

Deadwood. S. D.. Nov. 3.-Figuring
from the reports of the Northwestern
Railroad company, something over 10,-
600 new settlers and residents have en-
tered the northwestern part of the state
during the present year. The reports
only cover up to August 1. To August
the road carried into this section go
full carloads of household furniture.
AS each carload represents family
a family is four. that would give 2.s4o
people. The Pierre line brought 542
carloads of goods for families, which
figuring the same way means nearly
1900 people. Added to these figures
are the members of families who en-
pioyed but half or part of carload,
the estimates bringing the grand total
over the 10000 mark, and this figure
is being constantly swelled each month.

The men spent a great deal of time
