les in the state with a population of
5000 Experts at the Minneapolis au-
10 show have expressed the opinion
that Redaeld has more automobiles in
proportion TO population than any
other town in the United States. The
only other own in the tates that has
more machines. without regard to pop
ulation, is Aberdeen, where there are
about 275 machines in use.
One automobile company has the
largest garage in the state, with a floor
space OF $4,000 feet and a total invest
ment of $1,000 0
Another automobile company has
been organized and is now engaged
in constructing a large garage on Hum
boldt avenue.
The first machine in Sphinx county
was brought here in 1902. and the
phenomenal growth of the automobile
industry in this part of the state is a
fair index OF the prosperity existing
among the people of South Dakota.

OBJECT OF BULLocK's TRIP.

Rapid City--Behind the visit Of I'm
tied States Marshal Seth Bullock of
Deadwood, to London, where he will
join the Roosevelt party and return
with them next month, is a mission
of much interest to the Black Hills.
Although Captain Bullock did not men,
ton the subject before leaving, except
to one or two of his personal friends,
II has bee. learned that one of the
objects OF his trip is to induce the
ex-president to visit the Black Hills
in August. Col. Roosevelt has accept
ed an engagement at Cheyenne, Wyo.,
for that month and will also speak at
Omaha, and 1t is believed that the
friendship for Bullock will prevail up
ON the distinguished traveller to also
take in the Hills.
When this was learned here the bust.
ness men took advantage to place
Rapid City first on the list Of the
Black Hills towns to extend a formal
Invitation to Col. Roosevelt. Secretary
Soule wrote a letter to- the ex-president
to preside at the initial session called
for the purpose Of organizing the pro-
posed Black Hills Wool Growers as:

RICH MANS SON IN PRISON.

The latest prisoner to be lodged in
the Sioux Falls ~penitentiary is John
Ham, son of Watson Ham, N of the
pioneer ranchmen of the Missouri river
section of South Dakota and also one
of the wealthiest men in the state.
Jonn Ham will serve a term Of three
years for larceny of a herd of cattle
from the ranch of two Iowa men in
Charles Mix county about three years
ago. The case has been one Of the
most bitterly contested in the history
of the state. When it was tried about
three years ago in the state circuit
court Of Charles Mix county young
Ham was convicted. An appeal was
taken and since that time the case
has been fought through the state
courts and through the supreme court,
which finally affirmed the action Of the
lower court and thus removed the
last hope of the accused man being
able to remain out of the penitentiary
Thousands Of dollars have been ex'
pended in his defense and the best
lawyers have done their best for him,
Young Ham stoutly maintains his in
nocence and states when he completes
his term he will return to his home
on the Missouri river, as he twas not
afraid to look any man in the face
because, he declares, he is innocent
of the charge made against him.

NEW TOWN OF FAITH.

Anyone u~nacquainted with the mag
niicent energy ard enterprise of the
western people will regard as a fairy
tale or a gigantic exaggeration the sim
pie recital of the founding and de-
velopment Of the town of Faith in the
northern part of Meade county. The
Milwaukee railroad last year completed
most of the grade for a long branch
line, running clear across the great
Sioux reservation, preparatory to car
rying to their destination this sum
mer thousands of lucky winners in
Uncle Sans great lottery. In March
Of this year 1t became known that
the western terminus of the road would
be just west of the reservation fence,
The Milwaukee Land company bough,
a section Of land at that point and the
president of the road announced that
the name OF the new town was Faith
Up to this time there had been
nothing In all that region except the
occasional homesteader's shack and
the more widely scattered stock ranch

pany announced that they would per
nit business men to build on the land

Those who took advantage of the OPP
p~ortunity to hear him on his visit
TO BrookingS a ear ago viii never
forget the occasion. A more finished
performance has never been seen here
a cast perfectly fitted to the parts, a
training that showed in the minutest
details, an elocution that was every
moment a delight, an Interpretation
of the authors conception so intelli-
gent and so vital that the performers
seemed to be the part they were play
ing, only with more ease, more of
naturalness, nor of good nature,
more of charm than is ever seen in
real life-these are some character
istics that lent distinction to a pre-
sentation of Goldoni's entertaining
comedy.
RobertsOn's company deserves sue
cess on other grounds than the mere
pleasure they give, though none ex-
eel them in this regard. Robertson
is n of those, who with high ideals,
literary and artistic, are working to
lift the drama in America to a plane
where it will no longer need apology.
III the fall of 1907 he succeeded in
getting an opening for his company in
Chicago. At the end of his first sea-
SON, the Dial, the leading literary
journal in America, gave the place If
distinction, the number for May 16,
1908, to a eulogistic review of Rob-
ertson's work in an article entitled
"A Dramatic Feast" The ground for
the praise is found in this, that he
has transformed into a partly-accom-
plished fact what was before only the
dream of a few idealists, namely, the
creation Of a theatre for the produc-
ton of the best examples of literary
drama" After dwelling against the
obstacles of Indifference and opposi-
ton against which Robertson had to
labor, the writer continues: Opposed
to these obstacles he has had to of
fer only his own enthusiasm and
tenacity of purpose, with his power
to train his company to artistic unity
of effect, and his readiness to- seize
upon every available point of van
tage." The success Of this first sea-
son has been continued.
Last fall, it is reported, he refused
the dictatorship Of the New theatre,
the magnificent undertaking in New
York city which has been, for the
past year, the center of interest to
all lovers in the drama. He accepted,
however, an invitation to take the
part of Beethoven in the play of that
title with which the season of the
New theatre has just closed. OF his
performance the Nation says: Dan
aid Robertson is well fitted for the
part physically, and not only gives
it characteristic shape, but positive
and consistent individuality" =" His
voice, a rich base, is exceedingly fine,
and his e%nunciation is clear"
Mr.. Robertson holds it as part of
his educational creed to cultivate the
drama in college towns. 1t is in car
rying out his purpose to build, like
the English Ben Greet, a patronage
in such centers that he is planning his
visit to Brookings.
Mr.. Robertson will present in Brook
ings the famous old masque by John
Milton. entitled Comus; this will be
preceded by some short modern play.

Yes, there is going to be contest -
