Bounty For Trees.

Under the new tree bounty law
which went into eject Julg ~,
any farmer who will cultivate troes
for period Of six years will be
recompensod to the amount of 81
per acre. He must plant 1000
trees to the acre and 1t least 500
must live and be in healthy condi-
tion to entitle him to his bounty.
For every acre that farmer
plants to trees for tho six years be
will receive $l2. This should
help increase the tree crop won
derfuily, as it is easier now to
grow trees in many parts of the
state than it was several years ago.
In many places where they are
now draining much land could be
successfully planted to trees. The
timber growth in such places will
make \ good income and the state
bounty will make some fair return
in most any land in the state, and in
many instances = good interest.

The Man Who Makes Good

When the civil war began a
young man named Marvin Hughitt
was train dispatcher on the St.
Louis, Alton & Chicago, now the
Chicago 4 Alton railway. He
had entered the service of the road
a few years before as telegraph
operator. He lacked the advant-
age of a college education and
training. But he soon showed
that he had qualities such as no
college can give, however helpful
it may be in developing them.
1t became necessary to move
large bodies of Union soldiers
southwark over the St. Louis, Al
ton & Chicago. On the train dis
patcher fell the chief burden and
responsibility of seeing that the
scores of extra trains bearing these
thousands of men were handled
rapidly and without accident.
There were no double track rail
ways in the west then, the code of
train rules had not been developed
to anything like it's present per-
fection; there were no block sig
mails and interlocking devices.
Safety of railroad operation de-
pended much more than at present
on the dispatcher's vigilance, skill,
judgment and resourcefulness.
Young Hughitt proved so we'll, in
getting over the road the trains
bearing the Union troops, that he
had these qualities,,i ,,in rare degree,
that in 1852 he was made super
intendent on the Illinois Central.
His rise on different roads was
steady and rapid from that time;
and now for twenty-five years he
has been president of the Chicago
& North w estern, which he has
done more than any other man to
build up to its present greatness.

most gratifying to the farmers.
The fields, with the exception of q
few late ones, are all in the shock,
and in some instances in the stack.
We have never seen oats shocks
stand thicker on the ground than
they do today right here in Stan
ley county. Frequent predictions
of fifty or sixty and even seventy
bushel yields are heard.
Winter wheat is success this
year almost without exception.
In some cases, however, the fields
show the lack of sufficient work
in preparing the seed bed last fall.
Yet with prevailing prices the
wheat crop will bring about as
large returns as any crop our
farmers have this year.
Barley is also showing up
we'll this year, and although the
acreage is small, the results of ex-
periments with this crop mean
that more attention will be given
it next year
Our rainfall this year has been
in the nature of local showers.
and as result some parts of the
county are showing the effects of
dry weather more than in others.
In one or two localities the corn
needs rain badly at the present
time, and there is no place that
the yield will not be curtailed if
needed rains do not come. In the
eastern part of the county the
rainfall has been much lighter this
year than in the western half, and
as result the corn crop and gar
den patches show the effects of dry
weather between Midland and Ft.
Pierre. However. throughout a
good stretch of territory lying on
either side of line running across
the county from Hardingrove to
Kadoka August has never found
crops looking better Although,
there is some murmering by few
farmers. there is no reason vet to
apprehend serious consequences
from our present dry spell.

New Reservation Towns

The passage by congress of the
act granting the Minneapolis &
st. Louis the right to build a steel
bridge acrosss'the Missouri river at
LeBeau is a matter for gratitica-
tion to South Dakotans, for the
reason that renders it reasonably
sure that the road will cross the
stream speedily, in it's march across
the Cheyenne reservation. The
four roads which plan to build
through the Indian country will
provide the new settlers with a
network of towns at which they
may trade and market their pro-
duce, doing away almost entirely
with the possibility of the new
comers suffering from hardships
which have in times past oyertak-
en- homesteaders who have been
forced to locate hundreds of miles
from railroad town. When the
