Years ago there was a great meet
ing of certain religious denomina-
ton In Chicago. Among many impor.
tsnt matters considered by them was
the condition of their benevolent en-
terprises D. appeared from carefully
complied statistics from missions of
all kinds. that the members of the
denomination in the northern states
during the preceding year had paid
only Is cents per capita.
An eloquent and humorous brother
discussed the subject before a large
congregation He said that the fact
shown by statistics reminded him Of a
rich but penurious man in Wisconsin
who was never known to contribute
anything either for missions or local
church expenses. He had a fittle boz
who had just donned his FIRST pair of
trousers. and was as proud of his
pockets as peacock Is of Its tail
The little fellow had noticed that
many people IN the church dropped
mcBey into the contribution boxes.
and decided that he would do so. too
He became the lordly owner of a cent
On Sunday his father and mother
took him to church As usual a col
lection was taken. but neither of his
parents gave anything
The boy became excited. jumped on
the seat. and ran his hand down into
one of his precious pockets. got hold
of the only cent he had, and proudly
dropped II into the contribution box.
As the collector passed TO the next
he heard the little boy say to his
father.

a Rich Valley and a New
Railroad.

One of the most beautiful valleys
in the west is the famous valley of
the Belle Fourche, located just north
OF the great mining centers of Dead
wood in the Black Hills District. and
is being opened up to settlers by
means of the Belle Fourche Govern
ment Irrigation Project, which is
now nearing completion.
Recognizing the Importance of the
development which will follow the
placing Of this rich and fertile valley
under irrigation, the Chicago &
North Western announces the open
ing to traffic Of their new Belle
Fourche Valley line. This new line,
which has just recently been con-
structed, extends from Belle Fourche
eastward and passes directly through
the center of the irrigated district.
The new towns of Fruitdale and
Nisland have been opened and the
line is now open between Belle
Fourche and Nisland, connecting at
Belle Fourche with the main line of
North-W Western to Omaha, Sioux City.
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Chicago.
A highly successful sale OF town lot
property recently took place at Mis-
land, and a great many people are
coming into the valley, some of them
purchasing irrigated land and many
others finding in the new towns that
are opening up excellent opportun-
tiles for business openings which they
are rapidly taking advantage of.
There are still a number of farm
tracts to be secured from the Govern
ment on easy terms, at a figure to
cover only the cost of the irrigating
plant about $4,000 per acre.. and this
nominal price for land, which is prob
ably worth $4,000 or more as soon as
the first crop has been raised, is so ar
ranged that the purchaser may divide
1t up into ten annual payments, and
these are without interest.
The Government and the Railway
Company have both issued quite a
little advertising matter descriptive
OF the valley and its possibilities, and
both are deeply interested in the de
velopment which is pretty sure to
follow quicklyth opening of the land

FRIDAY, JULY !. 1910.
Martin and Burke Nominated,

Eben w. Martin and Charles II.
Burke have been renominated for
Congress. 1t is not to the credit of
Rapid City and Pennington county
that they contributed to their ma
%iorities instead Of cutting them
heavily.
Hon. John f. Schrader, one of this
city's oldest and most respected citi-
zens was a candidate for nomination.
His ability and integrity for the po-
sltlon are unQuestioned. Local pride
and interest should have influenced
this city and county to give to him
the majority similar to that given
Martin and Burke by their home
counties. TO lave done otherwise is
a short sighted policy that savors
somewhat Of jealousy.
Mr.. Schrader's I'll throughout the
rest OF the state was remarkable.
His vote was close to that of Thomas
Thorson, when it was generally sup
posed that Thorson would run at
least 5000 ahead Of Schrader. Several
other counties in the Hills gave Mr..
Schrader largely increased vote over
the progressive vote Of two years AGO.
In view Of the shameful trading off
OF Elrod to the Eganites to get votes
for Martin and Burke, Mr.. Schrader
has no reas On t. feel bad over the out
come in the state. But he has good
reason to be sore at the treatment
accorded him by his home city and
county, in view of what he has been
and could be to them.
In response to an.invilatiOn from
Secretary Soule of the Business Mems
Club to visit this city on his western
trip, the Colonel sent the following:
New York, June %, 10.
My dear Sir
L wish | could accept, but it is a
simple impossibility. You have no
conception Of the multitude of re-
quests to speak and invitations to at
tend banquets and reunions which |
have received. 1T is physically i'm
possible for me to accept even one in
q hundred. ! am deeply touched by
the courtesy shown to me in asking
me to go to these banquets and re-
unions and make these speeches, but
| could not possibly accept more than
a relatively small proportion unless |
absolutely abandoned all thought of
doing anything else Of any kind or
sort and | mention this as applying
to the invitations which | should
really like to accept.
Faithfully yours.
