Some two decades ago a real biz
zard crossed South Dakota. 1t didn't
stop in this state, but the first reports
of 1t came from here, so that 1t was
charged up to South Dakota. There
hasn't been a single real blizzard
since and yet it is a popular phrase to
refer to Dakota billiards.. Similarly,
the first settlers of South Dakota suf-
fered from what they called drouth.
Their crops dried in the south wind
and grasshoppers, always thriving in
dry fields, helped to finish them. The
same thing happened in western
Iowa a few years before. Old settlers
There will still talk Of the hot south
winds and the dry weather and the
grass-hoppers. And before that east
lern Iowa had the same story to tell.
But South Dakota is one Of the newer
states and probably there is still an
impression that the state suffers from
a lack Of rainfall. As a matter Of fact,
South Dakota's early experience just
demonstrated what the early exper-
fence Of Iowa did. And that is that a
cultivated soil holds moisture and a
new land does not. In the prairie that
had stood for unknown centuries, the
ground al packed hard and filled
with assures down which the water
poured, quickly going out Of the
reach Of the roots Of vegetation; or
else it ran OFF into streams. Now that
the soil has been pulverized and an
underlying bed formed that holds the
moisture, the state doesn't need
rains at regular intervals. That this
is true has been demonstrated again
this year. There has not been so
much rainfall as in other years and
the farmers, still under the spell Of
South Dakota's early reputation, be-
gan to imagine their small grain was
gone: But now they are finding their
surprise in a crop that in many Sec
lions is above the average.
South Dakota has suffered in a
way from the reputation unjustly put
upon her. But that has meant bigger
profits for those who came, for it no
doubt delayed immigration and thus

the figures suggested by the income
from it. No better investment can be
found today anywhere than South
Dakota land. There is every reason
to believe that when the figures have
all been received South Dakota will
once more this year lead all the states
OF the northwest in the per capita
production Of new wealth.

FIRE WELL HANDLED.
Good Management Saved the Borough
 Serious Loss of Life and Property.

The heartiest praise was given the members of the DanieIson fire depart ment Thursday for the highly efficient manner in which they snuffed out the fire in the Evans block during the ear iy morning hours. a fire which upon the arrival of the department seemed to have made such progress as to be almost beyond control. The citizens of tory session on the strength of the showing of the fire fighters Danielson has had no fire in years that threat enel to work such g. degree of disaster as did this one. It had a big start be- fore the alarm was sent in, was eating it's way up into the big building where it started, and because of its location was hard to cope with. Uncertainty of action, just one little mistake, would have meant a big hole in that part of the business section Chief A. P. Woodward and his men get the credit of doing the best piece of work ac- credited to the department in many years.
 Backed by an ample supply of wa ter, the men went into the fight with the knowledge that the odds against them were heavy, but with a determin- ation to win out in Just the way they did Chief Woodward directed that at tack. Those who know the property and saw the conditions there at 1.30 Thursday morning are most generous in their praise of the excellent work of the departme ent. Well directed streams driven by the full pressure of the General Putnam steamer were poured in the flaming caddron at the rear of the block, and the fire was con- fined there. Inspection of the premises Thursday showed that the windmill tower in the rear of the Hyde building was ignited by the streams of flame that shot out of the windows in the Evans building. The tower is stand ing but it. is a wreck.

LOUIS BElLERosE
Thirty seven Years on Oakland, Cal,
 Railway System.

Friends of Louis BeIIerose will read with interest the following from a sketch in a recent issue of an Oak land, Cal, paper:
 Thirty seven years an operator on the power end of Oakland street cars.
 That is the record of Louis Belle rose, who is 64, and has but the light est sprinkling of gray in his hair.
 Twelve years as the crew of a bobtaiI horse car 13 years gripman on a cable and another dozen years as 8 motorman on a trolley. That is is the way BelIerose has grown up with the system.
 Tt is not merely a matter of record in the matter of years. either. ThiSs of being on the job for 37 years with out days illness, a single accident or a single 'oversleep, and all the while contented with your lot and in possession of a happy family and more than a competence. Bellerose has man. aged to get out of life benefits in the same proportion as he has put into it steady. efficient service and pleasure in his work
 MT. BeIlerose came to Oakland with his wife on their honeymoon. The only days he has had off duty since were spent tive visits with relatives in the east.
 Louis looks as if he were good for at least another score of years-his father lived to be 90-at his chosen work, which he regards employ ment worthy of any mans enthusiasm Serving his employers and the public faithfully and carefully, getting pas sengers to their destinations prompt ly and safely, is looked up by Louis Bellerose as no mean accomplishment. He would take no more pains were he superintendent of the system. He is the sort of workman who looks upon the digging of a ditch as something worth doing we'll and would try to dig it just little better than the other fellow
 "A small fortune which Bel1erose possesses would enable him to retire. But he can more permanently re- move his hands from the controller. while life and energy last, than the broker can keep his fingers off the tape. But Bellerose's head lies easier upon the pillow than does the brok- CTS"
