Mobridge west the elevation at
Mobridge is l,6S3 feet increasing
from that to Lennon, where it
reaches it's highest point just as it
crosses over into North Dakota at
2.574 feet. These figures show
that the elevation at Mobridge is
1857 feet, and at Pierre is 1,457
feet. a fall of 200 feet between the
two places, and another fall of lO4
feet from here to Chamberlain at
,353 feet
Thus it may be seen that Philip
is nearly 700 feet higher than
Pierre. 500 feet higher than Cham
berlaln. and 467 feet higher than
Mobridge. Its elevation is 457
feet less than it is at Quinn, over a
thousand feet less than ut Rapid
Guy. The tall of Bad River from
this point to its mouth at Fort
Pierre, a distance Of little more
than seventy miles, is approximate
~ 10 feet.

Elevations West of the Missouri
River

We have heard so many argu-
ments regarding the elevations Of
various towns west of the Missouri
river that we publish herewith the
official figures of the various rail
road surveys showing the eleva-
tions of points on the three lines
west of the river.
The figures of elevations of the
different points on the new lines Of
railroad which have built into the
western part of the state show
that the Northwestern road leaves
Pierre at an elevation of ,457 feet
and gets twenty feet lower at Fort
Pierre station. From that point
the elevation increases up the val
ley of the Bad river, being 1923
feet at Teton, the first station out
from Fort Pierre, 215O feet at
Philip and reaches it's highest point
this side of the Cheyenne river at
Quinn, which is 2,6O7 feet. Wasta,
on the Cheyenne river, is at an ell
ovation of 1880 feet or approx
mately 200 feet higher than Philip,
and the elevation increased from
that to 1926 feet AT Rapid City.
The Milwaukee line from Cham
berlain leaves that place at an ele-
walton of 1858 feet, and reaches
its highest point east of the Chey-
enne river at Scenic, which is 1912
feet and from there runs down to
1893 feet at Creston, on the Chey-
enne river, and rising from that
point to 1914 feet at their Rapid
City station. On the line from

Think over the tree situation
pretty thoroughly these days.
The planting time will be here be-
fore you are aware of it. No one
ever made tha mistake of planting
forest or fruit trees too early in
this section. Every year thousands
of trees are lost by waiting until
the buds have begun to burst.
The early spring conditions may
not be the best but If the tree Is
properly planted it will be ready
for business the minute growing
conditions arrive.

The Faithful Dog

During his early law practice
George q. Vest, who afterwards
represented Missouri in the United
States Senate for over forty years,
delivered the following address
before Missouri jury. The action
was for damages on account of the
killing of Il dog. II matter not or
dinarlly regarded as of great con-
sequence. but the address to the
jury has been treasured, and is to-
day regarded as one of the finest
bits of eloquence in the language.
Gentlemen of the jury, the
best friend man has in this world
may turn against him and become
his enemy. His son or daughter
that he has reared with loving care
may prove ungrateful. Those who
are nearest and dearest to us, those
whom we trust with our happiness
and our good name. may become
traitors to their faith. The money
that a man has he may lose. 1t
flies away from him perhaps when
he needs it most. A mans repu-
tation may be sacrificed in Il mom-
ent of i'll considered action. The
people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do us honor when
success is with us may be the first
to throw the stone of malice when
failure settles it's cloud above our
heads. The one absolute, unselfsh
friend that man can have in this
selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacherous,
is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury. mans
dog stands by him in prosperity
and in poverty, in health and in
sickness. He will sleep on the cold
ground, where the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives tiercely,
! if only he can be near his master.
He will kiss the hand that has no
food to ctfer, he will lick the
wounds and sores that come in en-
counter with the roughness of the
world. He guards the sleep of his
pauper master as if he were a
prince. When all other friends
desert he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls to
pieces he is as constant in his love
as the sun in its journey through
the heavens. If fortune drives the
master forth an outcast into the
world. friendless and homeless.
the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that of accompany
ing him to guard against danger,
to fight against his enemies, and
when the last scene of all comes
and death takes the master in it's
embrace and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if all
other friends pursue their way,
there by his graveside will the
noble dog be found, his head be-
tween his paws, his eyes sad, but
open in alert watchfulness, faith
full and true even unto death.'
