CATTLE ARE HEALTHY
Inspectors Return from a Tour OF

Mead. County Territory.
Sturg1s, s.. D., April MEADE
County Cattle Inspector Frank Card
ner and United States Inspector F..
NJ. Elwell have returned from five
weeks tour of inspection through
the country. It is learned that
north of Belle Fourche river the
country is practically free from
scab. The greatest infection was
found on Bear Butte creek and from
Vale down to the mouth Of the Belle
Fourche river, at the Cheyenne.
Lower Alkali, which has heretofore
been badly infected, is now practical
ly free.
Cattle have come through the past
winter in better shape than ever.
Most everyone has plenty of feed
left in case 1t yet becomes necessary
to use 1t. So many newcomers are
coming to the country now that
stockmen hardly know which way
to turn, as the land is being rapidly
taken up.

Business Gains slowly.

One Of the most encouraging feat
ures of the>industrial outlook is the
steady recovery of the general vol
ume Of business in nearly al COM
mercial enterprises. The most con-
spicuous, because 1t represents the
largest aggregation of capital aud
has suffered the greatest decline in
normal earnings, is the increased net
receipts rs well as gross revenues
of all the trunk lines of railways.
The fact that gross receipts and net
earnings of all the great transpor-
tation lines show conservative gains
over the corresponding period twelve
months ago indicates that the low
point of the late industrial depres-
sion was reached last season and
trade conditions are f1uctuating to-
ward normal volume. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fee railway company
reports gains in February of gross
earnings of $463,0 900 and a net in
crease Of $4,000 as compared with
the same month in 1908. Should
the same ratio be maintained
throughout the year the road would
earn over IL per cent on its common
stock.
The outlook in all parts of the
country is encouraging in regard to
the 1909 agricultural crops. Wealth
er conditions since January have
been almost ideal to stimulate the
normal growth of all kinds OF agri-
cultural products. The danger o.
frost in the South is eliminated and
conditions are extra favorable for a
good crop year. Normal crops POI
Z. tend much to commercial. and indus
trial activity.
Owing to the high price of wheat
and corn domestic exports decreased
in February, but imports made con-
sentative gains. The increase of Inn
ports in February, which principal
ly represent Injuries, indicates that
the consuming public is in a better
financial condition than twelve
months. ago. The high price for
wheat is regarded by many observ-
ers as a permanent evolution to place
this cereal on an equal parity with
corn and oats which have ruled high
for the last three seasons.
The steel industry shows the least
improvement of the great billion
dollar corporations. Structural ma
terial is in steady demand, but or
ders for steel rails and railway
equipments are of unusually light
volume. While there never have
been liberal reductions announced
in steel products, rails continue to
hold firm at $28 per ton-the price
quoted in 1907 before the financial
panic.
The gains in gross and net rail-
way earnings the current year over
last season, the unusually encourag-
ing outlook for 1909 agricultural
crops, the increase in bank clearings
and the steady gain in industrial ac-
tivity all indicate strong forward
movement in commercial circles as
soon as the revision Of the tariff is
contaminated.

Nearest to the Pole.

10 Lieutenant SQaCKleLOn OF the
British navy now belongs the honor
of the nearest approach to one of the
poles of the earth. He has just re-
turned from journey of 1875 days
in the antarctic region with sur
iprising news that he penetrated to
point within III miles of the
southern pole. He went far enough
to dispel great deal5of the super
stition that has surrounded the To-
cation Of the pole. He is of the opin-
ion that there is no marked phenom-
ena at the end of the earth. He en-
countered violent storms enough to
know that if there is an area of still
air at the pole, it must be of very
small extent. He abandoned the
journey while on a high plateau and
his belief that this continues the
hundred odd miles to the southern
pole is natural enough. Possibly
the only difference between the point
he reached and the pole itself, so
far as the atmosphere is concerned,
is little more cold. The only man.
lfestations that could possibly be ex-
pected lat the pole are magnetic,
and this expedition reached the mag
netic pole so it seems doubtful If any
more is to be learned in that direc-
ton. Indeed Lieutenant Shackleton
has probably robbed the real dis
coverer Of the pole of all achieve
ment except that Of the actual ac-
complishment.
1t will surprise scientists every
where that the nearest approach to
the pole has been made in the ant
arctic region. For over thousand
years the region about the north pole
has been under exploration and al
most regularly for the past century.
However, the southern pole has been
quite neglected, due, no doubt, to
the fact that it is surrounded by wa
ter, while great deal of land is
traversed by any expedition to the
north pole. Thus, because of the
greater energy employed in the arctic
regions, Captain Hall advanced to
$40 miles of the north pole in 1871,
whereas it was not until Capt. Scott
sought the south pole in 1902 that
any explorer proceeded within that
distance to the south pole. This was
a far better record than ever before
made in antarctic exploration and
Discovery expedition, which Lieu
tenant shackleford accompanied,
went only about sixty miles farther,
or to within 465 miles of the pole.
Yet Shackleford has done so we'll as
to take $50 miles from this minimum
distance. It will be a brave and
skillful man who will surpass this
record. Even the experienced and
determined Commonder Peary was
still 203 miles from the north pole
when compelled to turn back on his
last expedition, for which he, had
made great preparations. Comman-
der Peary let last July to- make an
other effort to reach the north pole
and, II he has carried out his plans
he left his ship at Cape Sheridan
last month and is now on his way
north, with dogs and sledges. He
expects to return to his vessel In
June and the world will hear from
him In September. II this attempt
/ 10 unsuccessful, he will remain for
"a second trial next winter. Sioux
