The business men of Rapid
City are interested in a move
ment to cause the M. & st. L.
road to be extended from Vale
to the city, and are willing to
do what is right in the matter.
F. N. limerick, president Of the
Business Mems club, has been
instructed to enter into negoti-
atoms with officers of the COM
pany and ascertain what can be
accomplished. Another move
Of interest is the extension Of
the Rapid City, Black Hills &
Western from Mystic to the
coal fields Of Wyoming. If this
is done it will place the city in
immediate touch with the coal
fields and be of much benefit.
The officers of the company
have had the extension in mind
for some time, and in all prob
ability will make the extension.
Such an extension would be an
inducement for the M. & st. l..
people to make the extension
from Vale, as it would make
good business for them.

WEALTH IN CROPS.

While estimates of the crops
of the state at this time are
purely guesses on the outcome,
the deductions Of a staff CORE
spondent Of the st. Paul Dis
patch are Of interest to the peo-
pie of the state. He has gone to
the trouble of Intervening peo-
pie in position to be reasonably
well posted and his estimate
gives the year 1909 credit for
beng the best in the eighth sue
cessive season of crop raising in
South Dakota. He estimates
the wealth produced this year
at 1906, 900, as against
$185, 434 ,430 in 1908. He fig
ures there was an increased
acreage OF wheat this year OF
fully ten per cent over last year.
avering II to Is bushels to the
acre according to locality.
An estimate Of the crops by
w. e. Allen of the Dakota Far
mer places the wheat yield at
81, 100000 bushels, and the
farmers of this state believe that
it will average g dollar per bush
ell. The corn is estimated at
65, $4,000 bushels, valued at
$36, $50, 900. All of it is now
practically out Of danger Of
frost, and a great many fields
have been cut. An oat crop of
Al, 100000 bushels has been
harvested, which will bring the
farmers about $12,5OO,OOO.
The barley yield is placed at
80, $50, 900 bushels, with a val
ue Of $l2, 252, 900, and the flax
crop at 1864, 900, appraised at
9,455, 900.
Last year the live stock in
dustry of the state netted those
engaged in that line $39,977,-
$50. It is not believed that to-
tai will be reached this year,
while the dairy industry. will
produce only scant $s,OOO,-
900, as against 100000 a
few years ago. The hay crop
this year, estimated 3,50O,000
tons, will bring in close to $l7,-
100000, while potatoes and
other vegetables are expected
to go about $4,000, 900, and
poultry and eggs another 3d.
600, 900. Wool and hides will
produce close to a million, while
the minerals of the Black Hills
district in the western part of
South Dakota, will help the
grand aggregate about $40, OOO,-
600.

HE is FAMOUS NOW.

The discovery of the north
pole, If it is really correct, by
DR.. Frederick A. Cook of Brook
Ign, has made him the most ia
nous man in America and one
Of the greatest discoveries Of the
world. lie made the trip on
his own suggestion and worked
out the details in excellent man
ner, accomplishing a mission
many hundreds have failed at
and in which several hundreds
have lost their lives. While
the discovery means much to
the world it means more to DR..
Cook. His name will be on the
lips Of everyone and he will be
remembered for ages with pages
Of history emblazoned with his
achievements. Aside from the
fame attaching there is finan-
cial consideration which makes
him rich beyond measure. AL
ready an astute New York. the
atrical manager has cabled HIM
an offer of $250,000 for $50 lee
lures, as it is believed the peo-
pie will want to see him and
hear from his own lips the sto-
ny of his perilous trip into the
unknown frozen north. Much
will be written of him and his
expedition. When he stepped
from the steamer Hans Egde at
Copenhagen last Saturday on
his homeward journey, he was
warmly greeted by the populace.
He stepped from the boat &C.
companied by the Crown Prince
Of Denmark and was the guest
of honor of the country during
his respite there. In his re-:
marks he stated that the tenn
perature Of the pole was minus
39, and said: 81 took 400 pho
tographs showing the American
flag flying at the pole. The
distance covered each day was
slightly less than fifteen miles,
and on the southwark it was
ten miles, which is not abnor-
NAL for Eskimos on the ice.
They often travel sixty miles
with dogs. We fed the dogs
we'll throughout the winter in
Greenland and ran them 400
miles, giving them fresh meat
daily. Thus we brought them
to the polar sea fat and well by
not taking the famine route.
We lived entirely on dried meat
and beef tallow, reducing the
food problem to a science. The
last trace Of animals was at SO
degrees, afterwards no signs Of
life in the water except algae.
During the trip we ate all kinds
of meat, including musk OK,
bear, fox and the lilu.'' DR..
Cook is going to New York as
soon as possible, when he will
give a more detailed account Of
his trip.

FARMERS ARE pRospEsous.

FARMERS ARE PROSPESOUS.
The Chicago Drovers' Jour
nal, commenting on the ten
dency Of the times to secure
wealth, maintains that the farm
ers as a rule are prosperous, and
that agriculture has opened a
new field of financial independ-
ence with the dawn of applied
science to the cultivation of the
land. The farmer is no longer
looked upon as a newer of wood
and carrier of water, but is re-
garded as a person of import
ance by all the financial inter
ests Of the country. Tho call
ing Of husbandry has been ele-
waited to the dignity of a pro-
fession and agricultural colleges
are now endowed to teach the
highest principles Of soil cult
walton and live stock industry.
The Importance of the farmer
in national prosperity is meas
ured by the volume of wealth
which he produces. Vast as is
the output of the factories,
mines and operations Of the
railroads, it sinks into insignifi-
canoe in comparison with the
aggregate wealth annually pro-
duced on the farm. The out
put of the farms in 1903 was so
vast as to be incredible if it
were not Endorsed by the Agri-
cultural Department Of the gov
eminent, with the prospects

Especial to The Herald-Republican
Richfeld, Dec 13.-The quarterly con-
ference came to a close last night. Yes
terday's meetings We're we'll attended,
there being about 1000 people at the af-
ternOon session. Reports from the bish-
ops of the various wards were received
and all indicated improved conditions. a.
K. Hansen of Richfeld was presented
for ordination to the office of a high
priest to be made a member of the
bishOpric of the Second ward here. His
appointment to this position meets with
the hearty approval of the people of the
Second ward. 1t was announced by
President Seegmiller that the June con-
ference in 1910 would be held in Salina
if that ward VIII complete the enlarge
ment Of the meeting house now under
construction.
T. G. Humphrey stated that the ward
would bend every energy to that end.
The important address of the day was
one delivered by President Z. NJ. Ly-
man, in which he urged the people to
pay their debts, making plain that it
was as important to pay debts as it
was to pay tithing. He concluded by
a strong plea for temperance and prOhi-
bitiOn, urging that, while prohibition
probably would never stop some men
from getting drunk any more than the
laws against crime did not prevent
criminals from going wrong, yet pro
hibitiOn was an effort of the strong to
assist the weak.

Park City, Dec. 13.-Thieves. ever
ready to grasp an opportunity to loot
and destroy, invaded the small burned
section of this city following the dis
astrOus fire in the Maple Hall block
last night and stole jewelry, clothing,
toys and other articles to the value of
$1,000 or more. c. +. Fountain saved a
$4,000 stock Of jewelTy from the flames
IN the Maple Hall block, only to lose
$500 worth of it later last night, when
thieves went through the stock and
took their pick of trinkets. over $500
worth of clothing was taken from the
stock Of the julius Frankel clothing
store, and W. r. Jeffords lost about
500 worth of toys and other articles
from his stock of general merchandise,
A number Of strangers were arrested
on vagrancy charges today and they
viii be held pending an investigation.
William Collins, who had the AFTER
les of his left wrist badly cut while
trying to batter down a door of the
burning Maple Hall building, was op-
Grated upon at the Miners Union hos
pital this afternoon. His injuries are
not serious. Three others who were
slightly injured are being cared for al
the hospital, their injuries consisting
of slight burns and bruises.
The report that a man had persisted
in the fire at the Maple Hall roOming
house IS erroneous. A thorough search
Of the ruins today failed to disclose
any evidence of a man having been
burned and 1t is not believed that the
lire was sufficiently strong to have in

the hotel states that she aroused every
body in the house and saw the last man
leave before she herself left the build
ing.
