Increase for 1909 .........$ 17.029.570
This production breaks all former
records made by the state. The new
wealth producing capacity OF South
Dakota has grown about 16 per cent in
4 single year. The increase in the
value Of the states production since
1905 has been about $4,000, 900.
With the substantial increase shown
year by year in the production of new
wealth within the state it will not
be long until the annual production Of
new wealth within the boundaries of
South Dakota will reach the magni'i-
cent sum of $3.50 ,0e0. 600. Which is not
doing so bad for a young state with an
estimated population of only about
$50, 600.
The year 1909 makes the eleventh
the proud position of leading all the
states of the union in the per capita
production Of new wealth.
BANK DEPOSITS SHOW GREAT
INCREASE
No better evidence of the great
prosperity being enjoyed by the peo-
| pie of South Dakota furnished than
figures showing the increase year by
| year in the deposits OF state and ma
tional banks doing business in South
Dakota. These show that in 1898 the
aggregate deposits were $10,104, 1888,
while the present deposits in the state
and national banks within South Da-
kota aggregate SIS 900 900. During that
period the deposits have increased as
much as 81 900 900 in single year
la record which doubtless never has
been surpassed by any other state in
| the union.
Something of the development Of
the state is shown by the official fig
ures OF state valuations as returned
by the assessment boards of the var
ious counties during the past nine
years. The valuation in 1880 was
$17a,255,085. This now has grown to
almost 5000, OOO, 900.
| 1t Is conceded that the assessed
values represent only one-fourth of
the real value. Therefore, multiplying
the assessed value for 1909 by four
the real value of the taxible property
In South Dakota reaches the enormous
total OF 81, 200, 900 900, which, 1t must
be conceded, 10 remarkable showing
for state as young as South Dakota.
The construction of three lines OF
railroad through the western half of
South Dakota, with branch lines run
ming In different directions. has open
ed new agricultural domain to home
seekers, who in large numbers have
taken advantage OF the opportunities
offered.
Up to few years ago millions of
acres of land between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, in the Yves
tern part OF the state, were devoted
exclusively to the raising OF rance cat
tie, the country being divided up into
enormous ranches from which the best
cattle In the world were sent to mar
ket.
The construction OF railroad lines
through that part 0f the state has
driyen back the cattle men and the
region now is being occupied by home
steaders. who each year are breaking
thousands upon thousands OF acres OF
new land and sowing It to crops. thus
adding to the new wealth produc-
ton Of the state.
IA this work OF breaking raw prairie
land steam pillow outfits are being
utilized BY the score. and the prairie
p being turned over at q remarkable
rate each season.

DO YOUR BEST

The best lesson the boy can
learn is to always do his best.
No matter what circumstances
may surround him impress upon
his mind that he should do his
best. He who is the master of
himself will always be able to
command his powers though dis
tracing his surroundings may be.
He will be able TO focus his
powers completely and marshal
them with absolute certainty
When things go hard with the
self mastered man be will be- able
to trample on the difficulties that
beset him and convert his stumb-
ling blocks into stepping stones

Stat Him Rlghl

The best way of helping a boy
is by guiding the use to which
he put his time in childhood and
youth. No greater fault could
be committed toward any normal
boy than to give him nothing to
do, to guide him into nothing
/ that would be part of his equip
ment later on. If left alone, he
naturally drifts upon the streets
of the town in which he lives,
and the drifting tide is always
towards idleness and dissipation
1t is very natural that this should
be so. The boy who most eXcels
in initiative and energy, and who
might be easiest guided TO a taste
for work and industry, naturally
develops bad habits when neg
lected and the better qualities n
him are weakened by lack of
wholesome surroundings. No
boy should De left 20 drift Ey-

that they are not only doing no
good TO a boy, if they don't
