river. During my visit to the town
| noticed a lack of diplomacy on the
part of some of its business men in
dealing with those from other parts.
As a matter of history the towns
which have been most prosperous are
those who have been most liberal in
their dealings with all. Notwithstand-
ing the distance from the nearest rail
way shipping point, Faith has shown
a wonderful growth and now is the
time to lay a foundation for a broad
liberal future.
During my travels | was very much
impressed with the condition of the
live stock which roam over and feed
on the native grasses. Particular at
tention seem to have been given to
the proper breeding OF good cattle
and those which are now being mark
eted are equal if not superior in many
instances, to the best grain fed stock.
and | am told may be shipped to the
eastern markets with much loss
shrinkage. 1t is also said that al
though the grass has been unusually
short in stem this year it has been
of a quality best suited for putting on
solid flesh. The annual roundup is
now on and the shipments this year
from this part of the state will at
least equal those Of recent years.
There are also many fine range
horses to be seen along the route
which give evidence of careful breed
ing and, in time, these will also be
sent to the eastern markets, but with
the settlement of the reservation there
will be a great demand for horses next
spring.

level OF the Homestake workings,
Benjamin d. Summers, aged 29, was
instantly killed and j. B. Killoran-nne
Charles Erbe were painfully but not
~serioy~ly injured. The men were

County Division m Campaign

Mitchell-It appe IS the division OF
Lyman county will be a big factor
in the campaign this fall aside from
the political end of the proposition.
For the nast three or 0 u years the
division of the county has been up
permost in the minds of those who
have to travel over a hundred miles
to the county seat at Oacoma, which
is located in the extreme eastern part
OF the county. While division was vo-
ted on two years age, IL was defeated
out the supporters Of the idea this
year believe they will be able to win
on. Murdo has taken the Initiative in
the county division matter, and a
committe consisting of Nicholas MUIR
long, M. c. Burnham, f. j.. Carpenter,
+. p. Townsend and j.. r. Mclean has
been appointed to have charge of the
campaign. Lyman county is 106 miles
long by thirty miles wide. Efforts
ave been mad in the past two years
to change the county seat to a more
central point, but this was never sue
cessful.

A MEMOR|ALFUN
FRIENDS OF SOUTH DAKOTA'S
MISSIONARY BISHOP TO
ERECT BUDDING
in HONOR OF BISHOP HARE
Building to be on Spacious Grounds
of All Saints School the Insti-
tuition he Founded and
Largely Funded

Sioux Falls-The effort to raise
funds for the erection on the grounds
of All Saints school of a memorial
building in honor of the late
Bishop Hare, has taken on new
impetus and interest lately and
the committee in charge of that work
is encouraged to believe hat the fund
of $25, 900 will be raised with much
less work than would ordinarily be
required in such an undertaking. The
South Dakota Bishop Hare Memorial
Fund is in charge of the following
named persons:
Executive Committee-Bishop Fred
erick f, Johnson, chairman; Rev.
George Biller, Sioux Falls, vice chair
man; j. Howard Gates( Sioux Falls,
secretary; Jesse A. Smith, Flandreau,
treasurer; Rev. b. S. Mckenzie, Rev.
George s.. Kellar, Hon. Geo. w. Burn
side and Mrs. J. d. Anderson.
In the letter to the people of the
state, announcing the Inauguration of
the effort to raise the fund with which
to erect the Memorial, Bishop John
son says:
During his life time Bishop Hare
made very few appeals to the people
of the state for assistance in building
or maintaining the school. Through
long years of leanness in a new and
undeveloped country, he was ever
busy raising funds among his friends
in the East in order that the daugh-
tiers of his friends in the West might
have the very best of educational adj
vantages at prices which they could
afford to pay. The years Of leanness
now are gone. The years are years
of fairness. The time has surely come
when the people of the state will wish
in som substantial way to express
their admiration of what Bishop Hare
was, and their appreciation of what
he did for South Dakota.
CAS- a result of the untiring efforts
of Bishop Hare during the past twen-
ty-five years, All Saints school mas
now a beautiful property, conserva-
lively valued at owe $l00, 900. 1t is
entirely free from debt and from
liability to encumbrance of any de-
scription. It has an endowment OF
500, 600, and there is a movement fully
under way at the East 10 raise an
addition of $50, 900 to the endowment
fund as a memorial to Bishop Hare.
All Saints school is not a personal
or private enterprise. The title to
its lands and buildings is vested in
an incorporated board of rust. In
forming this corporation, care was
taken that there should not be gath
cred together in the hands Of a few
persons, resident in n city, the pow
ers which ought to be distributed
among many persons living In differ
ent parts OF the state. Nine different
cities are represented in this incor-
p~orated board of trusts.
"The earnest and loyal and helpful
cooperation of every person in South
Dakota who loved and admired Bishop
Hare is asked toward raising The
South Dakota Bishop Hare Memorial
Fund"

TRUCK FARMS IN ALASKA.
Some Far North Riches for Patient
Cultlvatore-Prices Of Produce
Very High.

Washington.-"How would you like
to be a truck farmer in Alaskan"
This is. a hypothetical question
asked by the Unitetd States Depart.
ment OF Agriculture. In an official
report from the department the ques.
ton and the answer are included. The
report says:
Would you care to run a truck farm
with strawberries selling at $1.25 to
81 a quart, cucumbers 81 to IS a
dozen, celery so cents each, tomatoes
so cents to 81 a pound and other prod,
ucts at proportionate prices? Or
would you prefer general farming,
with a few pigs and chickens as a side
line, with hay selling at $50 to 500
a ton, hogs 80 cents a pound, young
pigs rs cents a pound and eggs 81 a
dozen?
These prices are received in Alas
ka under favorable market conditions,
but the prospective settler should con.
slider the ~dificulties and OF
farming as well as the high prices OF
his products.
Alaska Is not generally given much
consideration from an agricultural
standpoint, and yet, despite the rigor.
III climate, a large variety of grains,
small fruits and vegetables are being
success fully grown. Experiments are
being made with tree fruits, bu7 the
results thus far have not been very
encouraging. The work conducted by
the government with grains at the
Rampant experiment station has been
an unqualified success. Varieties OF
nearly all grains have heea found that
grow well.

of the great reservation at an ele a
ton several hundred feet below tne
localities heretofore mentioned, md
| believe from the topography ana
general nature of the soil, it will be
a great garden spot in the country
west of the Missouri river. Here you
enter the beautiful Bear Creek valley
with it's gently sloping hills to the
north and south and extending over
nearly $500 square miles. The soil
here is unlike that of any other part
Of the reservation, it resembling the
the gumbo of the vicinity of Presho in
Lyman county, but containing a small
percentage Of the black sandy loam
which tends to greatly lessen the la
Dor of cultivation. The hills and val
leys are %abundantly covered with ma
tive grasses and there is considerable
timber along the streams. Although
this season has been unusually dry,
Bear Creek-which passes through the
entire district-has furnished an am
pie water supply for the immense
herds of cattle which roam over the
great ranges. In this district may

faster in this locality than In any
other locality ON the reservation, and
Bear Creek valley will in time be
dotted with many beautiful farms and
happy homes. The town OF Dupree Is
in it's midst, and Is well located with
good drainage and ample supply OF
fine water. Notwithstanding the diff
fcult freishting from Isabel, the pres
ent depot of supply, there are being
erected many substantial business
houses and cottages and In time 1t
VIII be a city of homes in the center
OF a prosperous agricultural commua-
ity.
Some 80 miles west of Dupree at the
northeast corner Of Meade county Is
the town of Faith which will no doubt
be the terminus of the Fox Ridge
branch Of the Puget sound road for
some time to come, There is some
good farming country around Faith
and some hat would require IAN abid-
ing faith" in the future to undertake
to cultivate. What, particularly ap-
peals to me, is its accessibility to a
very large territory south from the
Mereau river almost to the Chevenne
and Belle Fourche rivers, practically
embracing all that we'll settled and
prosperous section In the northern
part Of Meade county. When the rail
road is completed to this place 1t Will
be the nearest railway shipping n
freighting point to it. To my mind
the success of the town, however, Will
largely depend on the unanimity n
liberality of its citizens toward those
with whom they have dealings. This
is particularly true Of the territory
to the south, which is settling up r
fast, and where a little emu
agitation would cause the extension
