FRIDAY, DECEMBER II, 1909.
THE COUNTY PRospERs.

Ihere is satisfaction in the report
that ] ,Ol2 more documents were filed in
Pennington county during the year
1909 than in 1908. An examination of
the books in the registers Office shows
total of 3,767 documents for 1908 and
4,779 for 1909. Several of the docu-
ments were patents from the govern
ment to lands in the county, yet many
more were deeds transferring lands
and city property. 1t shows con-
clusively that property of all classes is
in demand and the county is being
settled by thrifty people who come
here to make their home instead of to
speculate on the increase Of values.
While it indicates the growth of the
country In a manner quite satisfying,
yet 1T In no..manner shows the real de-
velopment. Another and future years
will show what has been accomplished.
During the year 1909 many hundreds
OF eastern people came to Pennington
county and the Hills country, took up
homesteads and are now getting ready
for active work of development of the
soil In 1910 and thereafter. They have
been called hither by the desire to get
back to the soil and produce, by hon
est application of industry, the wealth
that awaits them. This, more than
anything else, will make Rapid City
great. 1t gives to the city solid
foundation upon which to build.
When all the vacant land blossoms
with growing crops many thousands
of dollars will grow where for years
only mild eyed bessie, the coyote and
the jack rabbit have held sway. This
will bring added wealth, cause more
money to circulate, and make the
times better for everyone. When we
contemplate the vast mining interests
and the hidden treasures of the hills
to be disclosed we have something of
an idea of the greatness of the coun-
try which only a few years hence are
destined to bring into realization
When all the land is occupied, Rapid
City, as a gateway to the Hills, must
progress; will become, in fact, sup
ply point and reap ben fits rich and

FAILS AS PROPHET

Eugene w. Chain. the last prohibit
ton candidate for president of the
United States, has come forward with
another prediction on general results
of the ballot in 1912 and 1916 His
prediction has inspired the Kansas
City Journal to make the following
comment:
Eugene w. Chain has revived. BY
severe strain upon the memory it
will be recalled that Chain was presi-
dental candidate of the prohibition
party in 1903. Mr.. Chain comes out
of the silence with a confident predic-
tion that the prohibition partywill be
an important fhctor in the national
campaign of 1912 and will sweep the
country in 1916. He takes to himself
and his party full credit for the wonder
full spread of the prohibition movement
in this country during the past few
years, and by the same token he her
aids the triumph of the prohibition
party.
unfortunately for Mr.. Chain, his
own record as candidate is against
him as prophet. A year ago. when
the election was only few weeks off
Chain startled the country by issuing
statement that he would poll be-
tween 100000 and 1,500,O0 votes. 1t
was a great day for the prohibition
party, and there were many leaders
in the republican and democratic
parties who accepted him at his word.
But when the votes were counted it
was found that Chain had received a
paltry 241,0OO votes, or less than a
quarter of the lowest estimate he had
made. He received fewer votes than
Swallow polled in 1904 and, indeed,
fewer than Fisk polled in 1888. The
results showed that the prohibition
party has made no gain in twenty
years. Such a result would have been
discouraging to man of less optimism
than Chain. To lead a cause
that appeared to be grandly rising,
with evidences all about of increased
prohibition sentiment, and then find
he had lost by more votes than his
predecessors, would dishearten the
average man. But not Chain.
"During the period of twenty years
in which the prohibition party has
lost ground until it is an almost al
unappreciable factor in national poll
tics, the real cause of prohibition has
gained wonderfully. In the south and
west the gain has been truly remark
able while in the east the liquor traffic
has been regulated as never before
But Mr.. Chain and his associates
seem entirely oblivious of the fact
that the prohibition party as politi
cal organization has, little if anything
to do with this spread of prohibition
sentiment. 1t is not at all improbable
that the cause has been actually i'm
peded by the insistence of Chain and
! his associates that their political party
must be put into power in order tc
put down the liquor traffic."

MoRTcAGINc THE FUTURE.

Sioux City Record: The compare
tive decrease OF calves and cattle
marketed in 1909 in comparison wtU.i
1908 and 1907, show in startling man.
ner the way in which mortgage is
being placed upon the future supply
of fatted cattle and indicates clearly
that the present shortage In beef cat
tie which has rested in such a mark
ed increase in prices, has not yet
reached its worst phase. From now
on the range will be less and less a
factor In the nations source of killing
cattle. The liquidation of the past
several years Incidental to the break
ing Of range herds, has kept the sup
ply from this source we'll up but this
extraordinary output was, in effect,
only the last gasp Of an expiring in
dustry and the west for some years to
come cannot be counted upon to fur
nish anything like its former proper
tion of stock. This deficiency, If made
up at all, must be made from native
sources, that is from the great farm
ing regions of the country outside
the range belt. This excessive mark
citing of young stock precludes the
idea that the deficiency will in any
measure be made up soon or that the
other cattle producing states will not
be involved in similar shortage them
selves.
Receipts Of cattle at IA OF the prin-
cipal marketing points for nine
months out of each year since 1907
show arcontinual decrease, the total
for 1907 being 8, 3S3, 1884 head; for 1908,
!, 1885, 66 head; for 1909, 1850, 9s4 head.
In comparison with the nine months
Of 1907 the same period in 1909
shows falling of Of S52, 900, within a
l5O, 600 Of the million mark.
Calf receipts for the same period
show 94s, 1888 in 1907; 1893, $40 in in 1908
and 937,418 In 1909. The decrease
from 1907 to 1909 was only 1895 and
an actual increase was shown by 1909
over 1908.
It is evident from these figures that
the future supply Of beef cattle is be-

not favorable for maturing the stock.
Another phase Of the situation is
admirably set forth by the United
States government figures taken from
the reports OF slaughtering at inspect
ed points. These statistics show that
in 1907 at the 7Os plants which were
Inspected by the federal government,
1921, III cattle and 1,783,574 calves
were slaughtered. In 1908 at 1877
plants, 7,l1a275 cattle and 1895, 4s7
calves we're slaughtered, while in
1909 7,324,3S7 cattle and 2,046, 713
calves were slaughtered at s76 plants.
These figures are for the fiscal year
ending June 80, each year.
These comparisons show an actual
increase In the killing Of calves and a
decrease In the slaughtering Of cattle.
The number Of places inspected has
increased from 7Os to $40, which must
be- taken into account, although it Is
relatively Of small Importance, since
the added number Of places under In
spection did not prevent the total Of
cattle from falling OF 283, 139. The
