The Bad River news. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 19??-1912, 1910-12-15
Yesterday and Today

The following lines were sug-
gested by the account of the self
destruction of the aviator, Ralph
Johnston, while catering to the
demands of a morbidly sensational
public:
Degenerate Nero, desiring a
thrill. arena ward wended his way,
to witness his hired assassins
kill whomsoever they met in the
fray. The gladiator was some
times loa.he to finish an adversary.
The tyrant then, wi TIL aw full
oath and manner arbitrary, pro-
claimed the show too safe and sane.
and anything but thrilling; de-
clared their efforts quite in vain,
unless there WAS some killing.
The Gladiator has passed away,
and Nero whs bade him to kill. The
aviator is here today, sensational
people to thrill. Lunatics wildly
applaud him, as he recklessly scars
through cloud, then snivel
little and laud him, while they
wrap his remains in a shroud.
Some idiots bent on looting the
wreckage, for souvenirs, like swine
in a barnyard, roofing; go in clear
up to their ears. Some confiscate
watches and rings, while others for
value not caring, take scraps from
his air-ship, and things like bits of
his clothing he's wearing. All
display the same morbid nature
that caused old Nero to kill an in
nocent fellow creature. that his
llighness might have a thrill.

velopment of the western half of
South Dakota upon the railroads.
Great trans-continental lines were
early thrown across the country,
but all passed to the north or to
the south of South Dakota. No one
was permitted to see this state or
to learn of it's wonderful farming
possibilities while passing through
it. There was no such thing as
passing through South Dakota.
The railroads merely came into the
state and stopped. On two lines
of the 500 road, on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific
the great passenger traffic between
the easy and the west was sweep
ing to and fro through North Da-
kota. Its beautiful stretches of
farming land were seen and ad-
mired by these thousands coming
and going. But no one saw South
Dakota and her more wonderful
opportunities unless they came d.
rectly to the state for that or some
other purpose. Those who did
come saw only the eastern and we'll
settled portions of the state and of
course met with no inducements
to go into the range country where
there were no railroads.
Thus was South Dakota, super

lor to North Dakota in almost
everything except wheat raising,
Kindred and forced to stand almost
still, waiting for railroads to push
across the state, the while seeing
It's more favored neighbor on the
north settling up rapidly with the
assistance of unusual railroad ad-
vantages. In that state the Mis-
souri, river cuts off only one cor
ner, less than fourth of it's area,
and years ago a great transconti-
mental railroad was thrown across
the Missouri river and right
through the heart of that section.
Under adverse conditions the won
der is that South Dakota was not
passed in population by North Da-
kota, and this may have actually
been the case in 1907 or just before
the rush of immigration to the
country west of the Missouri river
reached its height.
The two railroads we're complet-
ed to the Black Hills in 1907 SO
that South Dakota has had less
than three years in which it could
compete with North Dakota for
new settlers on anywhere near
equal terms in the matter of facil-
tiles for settling up its unoccupied

One of the largest transfers of
city property which has ever been
made in Philip was completed this
week between X. M. Waddell and
Orrin Winter, of Humphrey,
Nebr. Mr.. Waddell traded his
new brick store building, includ-
ing the harness shop in the base
ment and his four resident houses
in the west part of town and re-
ceived in return big double store,
including stock and fixtures, at
Humphrey, Nebr., together with
minor considerations. Mr.. Winter
arrived in town Tuesday, accom-
panied by Mr.. Waddell, who had
been in Nebraska on business
trip, and the necessary arrange
ments were made to transfer the
property, but possession will not
De given until the nrSt or the year.
MIR. Winter, who was formerly a
Philip business man, expects to
move his family hereafter. Although
he has not decided on the future,
Mr.. Waddell has no intention of
leaving Philip at the present time.

Mr.. Waddell and A. Zorba, of

A South Dakota man who had
spent several weeks on the Pacific
coast, wrote to one of his home
friends SIS follows: This is a won
derful country. Every hamlet is
town, every town a city, every
farm ranch, every barnyard q
corral, every mound mountain,

territory. Since that time this
state has probably been gaining
on North Dakota and the state
census of 1915 in the two Dakotas
will in all probability show that
the southern twin is drawing rap
idly ahead of the northern in popu-
lation.
Everything points to this out
come. Both Dakotas raise large
quantities of small grain, but in
everything else South Dakota has
supefior advantages. North Daxo-
ia does not raise much corn and
can therefore never become hog
raising center. South Dakota as
corn, hog and dairy state must
surpass. It's fruit raising, it's rich
mining country were gold, silver,
tin and mica are produced in large
quantities, together with many
other valuable minerals, will al
ways give it lead. In scenery, in
rivers and mountains and lakes.
in it's milder climate, producing
fruits and vegetables that do not
thrive well to the north. it excels.
The tale of the two states as it
will be told in the future will be
different from the tale of the past.
Instead of seeing her smaller Sis
ter Overtaking her, South Dakota
will in the years to come find her
self still farther in the lead.
A new law firm has been formed
to have offices in this city and

firm to be Judge Lyman T. Bouch-
