beautiful BeIIe Fourche.

Belle Fourche is located IN the southwest
corner Of Butte county. at the confluence
OF the Belle Fourche and Redwater rivers,
about eight miles from the Wyoming line.
The Belle Fourche river encircles the city
on the north and west, and the Redwater,
a cool mountain stream. on the east.
which furnishes water for irrigating pur-
poses and also for power. Belle Fourche
has a population of 800. It's resources are
varied and extensive. 1t is one of the
largest initial shipping points Of range live
stock in the United States. over 1000, 900
pounds Of wool were shipped from Belle
Fourche last season. The town has been
quite an agriculture center ever since its
birth, as the farmers along the Redwater
and the Belle Fourche Immediately east
OF the town have been irrigating for a
quarter Of a century. The water for this
purpose is taken from the Redwater dt-
rectly through bitches without the use of
storage reservoirs. The products from
these farms are mainly alfalfa, grain, fruit
and sugar beets. A $50. 200 electric light
plant furnishes light and the town is sup
piled with water from three artesian wells
flowing into a 5O,OOO-gallon tank. Belle
Fourche has five churches and a $4,000
school building. A flour mill, run by
water power from the Redwater, Is located
within its limits, with a capacity of 125
barrels per day.
Belle Fourche is the county seat of Butte
county. A United States land office has
been established here with a land district
embracing all of Butte county and a large
portion Of Harding. Meade and Lawrence
counties. The headquarters of the North
western Wool Growers association is To-
Gated here and the two banks have de-
posits of over 81, 100000. The Belle Fourche
Irrigation project, now partially completed,
is in the Belle Fourche valley adjacent
to and east of the town. 1t is a region
of wide valleys, rolling hills and plains.

'reem, employing the separator. There are also many other depart
meuts of the ranch and the making of the home to occupy their
time and their eRotts, and their noighbors count them among the
busiest residents CT the district. Miss Lulu has gone abroad for
employment and teaches the district school three miles from her
home. The rural mail delivery, telephone and other conveniences
that have penetrated the rural districts are all within easy access
of the Galloway settlement, which, according to Omaha friends who
have visited there, is an altogether interesting and delightful place.
Miss Edna Walworth, a member of the teaching stan Of vinton
school, is another young woman who has braved isolation on the
rrairies and all that goes with it for the sake of acquiring the indie
9endence Of the ranch owner. Miss Walworth took up a section
or land under the Kinkaid act a year ago, and her holding is today
among the most promising in its vicinity. Her ranch is a little less
than two miles from Eli, Cherry county, Nebraska, and is entirely
enclosed with a two-wire fence. A two-roomed house and a hftyfoot
well, with a pump, Improvements made during the year, contribute
much to the comfort as well as the value of the place. But these
are not the only improvements. Last year Miss Walworth had IN
ten acres of sod corn, which yielded about 100 bushels, and she is
planning further cultivation this spring. Later she expects to stock
the place, but at present her stock consists of a half interest in a
horse, which she rides back and forth to the home of her father. a
mile distant Miss Walworth confesses to some timidity, but this
has not diminished her enthusiasm, which is one Of the valuable
assets of the homesteader. The coyote chorus which has sickened
the heart of many a frontier homemaker, no longer makes her
nervous, and she has become a judge of fire guards and other neces-
stiles Of the place with the keen eye of the experienced ranchwoman.

All of these little parks and the flats along

eapers rakes, ETC., which, so great had
been the demand for them, were sold al

Indian country. In 1879 the first self
binders were brought into the country by
the same firm. They were brought in as
an experiment, but farming had progressed
to such an extent by that time that all
were disposed of, although the modest
price Of 1925 was charged for each ma

amounted to over 500.
While the products of the Black Hills
mines have been worth hundreds Of mil

the farms has equaled them. Although the
