Here is the accurate definition
for an automobile which Bob Bur
dette gives; "The automobile is q
large iron and rubber contrivance
for transforming gasoline into
speed, luxury, excitment and obitu,
aries. 1t consists of a handsome,
leather upholstered carriage body
mounted on fat rubber tired
wheels and containing a gizard full
of machinery suffering from vari-
Gus ailments. 1t is the speediest
and most stylish form of transpor-
tation known. 1t has run over
1000 a minute. 1t can transport
seven people from the front porch
to the police station, the bank
ruptcy court or the golden gates
in less time than any other known
method"

Taking the Census

An army of 80, 900 men and wo-
men will be required to take the
thirteenth federal census. This
force is soon to be recruited and
the duties of each are under con-
sideration. The general officers
will be appointed in the fall. There
will be $50 supervisors, one each in
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut and two in Maine. The
supervisors who are to collect sta
tistics of population and agricul.
ture all over the country.
There will be 1000 special agents
appointed to take the census of
manufacturing, mining and QUAR-
ing. These will be appointed early
in the coming year, so as to begin
work in Jaauary, the statistics they
collect being for the present calen-
dar year. There may be another
large group of several thousand
special agents to collect statistics
of various phrases of sociology.
The special agents will not be
subject to the direction of the
supervisors.
To do the clerical work in Wash
ington about 1900 men and wo-
men will be employed in addition
to the $50 clerks now in the census
bureau. To accommodate them the
government will need 10000
square feet of floor space. The
clerks there will be employed from
six months to three years, and will
receive salaries ranging from $500
to 81 200 a year. They will be
under the civil service commission
temporarily.
The supervisors are expected to
remain in office about a year. The
enumerators will be employed only
a few weeks. The census of popu.
lation and agriculture will be tax.
en- in April and May next year,
beginning April Is. In the census
of manufactures and mining pro-
badly 80 days will be allowed for
the field work.
Congress has already appropri-
ated $lO,O5O, 900 70 start the work
and most of this will be spent dur
ing the current fiscal year, which
ends June 80 next. Congress has
declared that the job must be finish
ed by July /, l9l2.-Exchange.

Opening a Boost for the State

On October 4th, but little mo-, e
than month away, two million
acres of land, within the borders
of the Cheyenne and Standing
Rock reservations, will be thrown
open for settlement. Commenc-
ing on that date, and continuing
until, the 23rd of the month, pros
pective homeseekers will register
in Pierre, Aberdeen, Lebeau, Mo-
bridge and Lemon for the lands.
On October oath, at Aberdeen, the
drawing for the lands will COM
mence, and on April lst, 1910,
filings will commence.
The opening of these lands
takes from the Indian the greater
part of the reservations within the
state, leaving only portion of the
Rosebud and Pine Ridge reserva-
tons, and few other small ones
scattered along the Missouri river.
Five years ago the great bulk of
population of the state was east of
the James river valley. Within
the next eighteen months the bulk
of population will be west of the
river. That is no fairy tale.
The boosters of the state have
long claimed that South Dakota is
abundantly able to support, and
support well, a much larger pop
ulation than she possesses
The rese rvations west of the
Missouri, and lack of railroad
facilities has held back settlement.
But with this opening, following
closely on the settlement of Stan
ley, Meade, and the original Butte
counties, and the opening to settle
ment of Gregory and Tripp count
les, our population will grow
apace. Already more railroad
building is promised for 1910 than
at any time in the states history.
South Dakota, the Sunshine
State, and the Queen of the Prair-
lie States! 1t will prove the Mecca
for tens of thousands of home
builders in the coming two years.

The first of the week we said we
believed we would print all we
knew and tell the truth for this
one issue. The next two days oul
visitors were many. One fellow
told us not to mention him as he
intended to straighten that little
matter up,and another said to keep
quiet about him for his children's
sake, Another, whose wife is
away on visit, requested US to
please not send a copy of this
issue. One young lady smiled at
us and talked about the weather
and another fair young damseI
told us if we made any mention OF
her we would wake up with the
angels. One man told us not tt
say anything as it would injure bis
business, while another brought US
a handful of cigars and told us fol
Gods sake to cut it as his wife
had the divorce fever already.
One old lady met us on the street
and told us she always stayed a,
home and attended to her owl
business, but she could tell all
kinds of things about her neigh
bors. One young lady told u.
it was her brother she was hugg
ing, and shortly after the young
man came to us and said they
were engag d anyway. One mar
told us it was the first time he
eveL was drunk and he didn't wan
his family to find it out. One
fellow made two trips to Hot
Springs for a trunk and Bill Sex
ton has left for Iowa to beat thi!
issue there. During the week W,
