place in the country free from severe
criticism by the press. And having had
that sort Of training. II is a little hard
for me TO get used 10 any other kind
of treatment. I am being educated.
but there are times at the White House
when YOU are exercising what is sup
posed TO be the power Of the presidency
when you get really very. very discour-

Things don't go right. Your motives
are misconstrued, and then you take
long walk and you say TO yourself,
There is one thing, anyhow-they cam
not deprive your children and your
descendants Of having your picture on
the walls Of the White House, paid for
by Congress.
And then you go home and you
look at the picture Of Teddy and the
picture of Grover Cleveland and or
Abraham Lincoln and the others you
have there, and you come TO the con-

But the truth is the sensations a

A GROWING INDUSTRY.

To many it may be surprise to hear
that fruit raising is becoming an import.
ant industry in the Black Hills. There
is good ground for belief that the time
is not far distant when it will be the
most important branch of agriculture
here. And why not?
The valleys of Colorado have made it
as famous for its fruit as it is for gold
and silver. The Black Hills country
has some disadvantages because of be-
ing farther north, but it also has advan-
tages. 1t has already been demonstrated
that the soil is particularly adapted for
fruit growing and that the greatest nat
ural disadvantage, late spring frosts, may
be overcome by selection and adapta-
ton to climate.
The Spearfish Valley has more than a
local reputation for its fruit. Tourists
are uniformly astonished at what they
behold there and have spread its fame
afar. Speaking of fruit exhibited at the
| fair last year, one traveller said it was as
| fine for its class as he had ever seen.
The rapid growth of its orchards of
various fruits the past few years have
made it evident that it is only question
of time until the entire broad valley will
be devoted almost entirely to fruit rails
ing. 1t alone is big enough to supply
half State with fruit With it's land
already worth 5000 an acre, and the
Hills and tributary territory just on the
verge of development, it takes no
prophet to see that with its possibilities
land will increase in value. And if it
does use must be found for it which will
make small areas give large returns
and no use can be made which will yield
larger returns than fruit raising.
But while the Spearfish Valley is best
known for it's fruit, being in the beaten
path of tourists, there is another section
that has been developing this industry
steadily during the past 10 years 1t is
the Southern Hills, in Fall River and
Custer counties. Anyone who doubts
this should see the exhibits made at the
annual joint fair of these two counties
at Buffalogap. By chance the writer
saw the display at the first fair two years
ago, and was astounded at the variety
and quality of the fruit exhibited. A
tour of inspection to the farm of one of
the pioneer fruit growers was an eye
opener. 1t was his privilege to again
see the exhibit this year. Despite the
unfavorable season it was a splendid
display of quality and variety. These
two counties have large area of agri-
cultural land, from foot-hil to prairies.
The people are enthusiastic over the
possibilities and are making use of them.
1t will not be long ere the Spearfsh
Valley will have to look after its laurels.
And it will not be many years until the
prairie country tributary to the Black
Hills will get from it the greater part of
its fruit supply.-Deadwoo Telegram.

Western Chemical Reduction Plant
DESTROYED by Fire,

Fire which is supposed to be of an
incendiary origin completely destroyed
plant of the Western Chemical Reduc-
tion Company Saturday morning, caus-
ing loss of 100000. The fire was dis
covered in two places in the plant by
Watchman Reyes about $50 o'clock.
The building which is destroyed, was
valued at $25, 900 and carried $4,000 in
surance. The stock was valued at $751;
600 and carried S33, 900 insurance.
By persistent work the firemen were
able to keep the fire away from the sui
phuric tanks nearby, thus preventing a
much heavier loss.
The plant is located at Fifth and Lo-
Gust streets. George A. Joslyn is Presi-
dent of the company. Mr.. Joslyn said
that it was too early as yet to say any
thing definite, but that it was certain
that the company would rebuild, and
that within a short time. The new plant
will not be located on the old site, but
will he nearer in to the city. 1t will be
considerably larger than the old one.
II am at loss to understand" said
Mr.. Joslyn, chow the fire broke out. 1t
must have been incendary, as we had
no combustibles or inflammable mate
rial in the building, having closed down
the plant for repairs"

"Velocity of money, or the number
of times a given coin or current note is
used for payments in given interval OF
time, has engaged the attention Of tinan-
ciers for more than a hundred years I;
but it is only very recently that sutfici-
emily complete data have existed to en-
able it to be determined satisfactorily"
says the Wall Street Journal. "In 1893
Professor Jevon wrote: IF we knew
the amount of exchanges effected and
the quantity of currency used, We might
get, by division, the average number of
times the currency is turned over; but
the data is quite wanting Yet the
very next year the feat was accomplished
in the United States, and the velocity
determined and published at 5l.4 times
year, or, approximately, once week.
Since 1894 the extension of the railway,
telegraph and telephone systems has so
greatly increased the velocity of money
that it has been computed for the pres
ent year and for the United States as
about go times year. This result is
gained by employing the two factors
mentioned by Jevons: the amount of
exchanges and the quantity of currency
used; the former being computed at
1S6,OO0,0O0, 900, based on clearing house
figures, and the latter at 8, lOO, 900, 600, as
reported by the treasury"

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION.

One of the lessons which will finally
be drawn from the trying experience OF
the present forest fire season, in the be-
lief of officials of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, is the need of wider
organization among private owners OF
timber, to safeguard their holdings.
1t is pointed out that already in the
Northwest, both on the Pacific Coast
and in Montana and Idaho, timberland
owners have formed themselves into
associations which assess the members
on an acreage basis and thus meet the
cost of maintaining regular patrol and
fire-fghting organization. Only by get
ting together can private owners usually
assure themselves protection, for fire is
no respector of boundary lines and the
man who undertakes to keep it out of
his own timber will want it kept out of
his neighbor's too. Wherever possible
the Governments forest officers cooper
ate with the force put in the field by the
so that the employees of
the Government and those of the private
owners are handled practically as unit
in fighting the common enemy.
This cooperation is advantageous to
both sides. Protection of the National
Forests necessarily carries with it good
deal of protection of adjoining or inte-
rior holdings. If the private owners
would everywhere shoulder their rea-
sonsble share of the burden, the public
would gain both through more general
forest conservation and through relief
from the necessity of paying for the pro-
lection of private timber in order to
protect its own.

J. J. oINAs INCINERATED.

o'clock p. m. and she woke me; that
hurried out partly dressed and saw the
flames; that then Helmer Bostrom and
Walter Fink came; that the heat was
too great to 60 inside that the deceased
was a miner and in the habit of using
powder and caps and some was stored
in the house at the time; that no one
slept there but the deceased; that the
remains found am satisfied are the re-
mains of the deceased, Johan Jacob
Oinas; that the deceased was in the
habit of getting intoxicated; that he
had been drinking and also had a quart
bottle of whiskey with him; that all his
property was in the cabin at the time of
the fire; that he had no other property
that his father now lives in Finland.
Fred Russell: At II D. m.
Walter Fink woke me up and l went
over to the cabin at Bostrom's and that
the cabin was afre; that l remained
there till morning and that the fire was
all out at a. m; that found the body
in the southeast corner of the cabin
after the fire was out; that no one occu-
pied the cabin but the deceased; that l
stayed there with the body until the
Coroner came; that l am sure that the
body is the body of Johan Jacob Oinas
that am familiar with the habits of the
deceased; that saved him once before
from similar fate; that he was face
down in the corner and was burned be-
yond recognition, when found.
