orematory for the disposal of all gar

Ii the city will keep clean, there ia

ton rs we'll as that Of those who come

| have just completed trip through
out the agricultural districts from
Oelrichs to Rapid City and find a large
amount of permanent improvements,
as we'll as a great increase in grain
acreage and corresponding increase
in the quality of grain and prospect OF
q heavy yield. There are large
number of farmers who are tilling the
soil in q scientific manner and with
| the very best of results These farmers
are scattered over large area but
they are the men who will develop the
country to creditable standing and
give desirable home seekers an OPP

| the soil
| AS usual, in new and unsettled
regions, there is large number of
dilatory, uncertain and unreliable
F, farmers who, because OF ignorance In
advanced farming methods, have be-
come pessimestic and are a real detri-
ment to the rapid development of this
section. To add to their state of un-
rest and dissatisfaction, too many old
settlers and business men have CO.

impeded progress. To correct this
state of affairs should be the object
of the various Commercial Clubs aud
business concerns and with that end

Club make special effort to overcome
this To do SO it would require con-
siderable money and expense aud in
ss much as it directly affects the entire
Black Hills, 1t would be necessary to
have the Hills as whole take the
matter under advisement.
We must not confine ourselves alone
to health resorts and tourists, but We
must reach out and include all lines of
business. While farming, fine stock
raising and fruit growing is an infant
industry In this section at the present.
the future of this industry is as sure
as other kinds which have become
