South Dakota's Population

Without an immigration bureau
South Dakota has made gain of
45.4 per cent in pepoiation in , the
last 10 year period. That is doing
well, and marks the change of
many counties from unbroken, un-
occupied prairie to communities of
homes where approximately 1872
900 additional inhabitants find vo-
cations and unexcelled opportunity.
Nor is that all. Five of the old
est settled counties in the state,
Bon Homme, Clay, Lincoln, Union
and Yankton, 40 years ago con-
tanned over 81 per cent Of the total
population of that part of the terri
tory which now constitutes South
Dakota, and their combined inhabi-
tants numbered only 9,545, which
is but little over 800 more than
the present population of Clay,
the smallest of the group.
The five counties named, contain
the oldest landmarks in the present
state, even as they contain the
earliest settlements of permanent
character. They represent specit-
cally the mature factors in the de-
velopment of the state. Nearly a
generation ago they had attained
practically the maximum of popu-
latien, and within the last 10 years
they have occupied the same rela-
ton to the undeveleped parts of
South Dakota, North Dakota and
Canada that has been sustained by
Iowa toward each of those common
wealths. Southeastern South Da-
kota has in that time been as pro-
life field for the immigration
agent IS has the old Hawkeys
commonwealth, and the call of the
unbroken prairie has been so strong
that Union and Clay counties aetu-
ally sustain a slight decrease in
population, unless the enumsrators
stopped counting noses before they
had beaten the brush along the
Big Muddy" while each of the
other ''sou'easterns" stands at SO
near the mark of decade ago that
there is no appreciable crowding
about the hearthstones.
Six counties, non-existant or un-
inhabited, 10 years ago, now sus-
tain a population Of 1896. They
are Corson, Dewey, Harding, Per-
kins, ,Sshnasss and Tripp, while such
counties as Stanley and Lyman,
given over to the stock men almost
exclusively until about 1904, now
contain as many people Is the

The Watertown Public Opinion
facetiously remarks, The insur-
gent ranks in South Dakota are
badly in need of strengthening.
In fact, there is a suspicion they
need renovating." Public Opinion
has been a booster for that faction,
and still is, but it doesn't like some
of its bedfellows.
