False and absurd impressions as to
South Dakota have been formed from
hard luck stories and unguarded news
paper reports circulating at distance.
Nearer home we know that the current
tales of settlers hardships are no more
true Of the general agricultural condi-
ton of South Dakota than of Iowa.
which is adjacent, or of Illinois. In
thrift and prosperity South Dakota
farmers in the mass are this year no
whit behind their brethren of the two
latter great agricultural common
wealths, the most prosperous between
the oceans. The keenest-eyed observer
looking from the car window or touring
the country by auto would not know,
even after passing the South Dakota
boundary hundred miles or more, but
that he was still amidst tie scenes of
the best part of Iowa or Illinois.
Those South Dakota districts where
some settlers have this year encoun-
tered hardships are few, remote and
rarely exceptional. There are districts
which comparatively recently were
opened by the government to home
stead entry. They lie far west, SO far
that If Iowa were set down on top of
South Dakota, with their east bound
aries coincident, these districts would
not be included. They are thus out in
the region of lesser normal rainfall than
that of South Dakota and Iowa taken
together. Therein, indeed, there has
been some hardship this season, but no
more than was experienced at times by
the settlers Of Iowa, Illinois and the
rest of South Dakota itself at CORES
pondig stage of their occupation.
There is nothing new or extraordi-
nary in all this. 1t is the old story of
the national march westward. Many
of these settlers were poor when they
went out there. They would have had
hard time of it under any circum-
stances. They have to subdue the
wild soil. to learn how to deal with it
ard surmount all the manifold difficult
ties which have confronted our people
at every stage of their western march.
This takes time and inexorably spells
hardship in the meantime.
But it will be only a few years, a
very few years, before the whole scene
in these remote and newly opened dis
tricts will be revolntionizad. Precisely
what has happened elsewhere win
happen there. Land abandoned, if
any, or sold cheaply or for song, viii
pass into stronger hands. Those who
occupy It will rapidly adapt themselves
to local needs and employ appropriate
methods. Every acre of these areas
will be cultivated and put to some of
the many profitable uses Of which we
well know they are capable.
Those who can do this work, the real
work Of developing new country, as
distinguished from rushing in first to
secure titlt from the government, will
not be slow now in getting on the
ground. There are legions of them.
ma they will see and be ready for the
orpcrtunIty. Make no mistake about

The new Burgess-Wright machine
which was shipped from Marblehead,
Mass, last Saturday. is expected to
reach the army aviation field at College
Park. Nd, today.
1t will take the officers about an hour
to assemble the parts of the new aero
plane, and flights may be made in it
this afternoon.
People began arriving at College Park
on the early train this morning, aSl
they were well rewarded, as the record
height of $500 feet was broken. The
officers went up nearly 5000 feet. The
speed records were also broken, the
aeroplanes making eighty miles an hour.
In climbing, the machines would go up
at times over 300 feet a minute. The
flights this morning were made by
Lieutenants Arnold and Milling and
Kirkland. Lieutenant Milling continued
his instructions to Lieutenant Kirkland,
and the latter handled the working
lever most of the time he was in the
machine. Some very pretty banking
was done. Lieutenant Milling volplaned
over 1000 feet.
Lieutenant Arnold finished his first
fight with a beautiful spiral glide. The
officers also made short cross-country
trips. There will be flights again this
afternoon by the officers, and If the
climatic conditions permit, possibly q
long cross-country trip.

that a conference has been held be-

amount of paving to be done oy the
company.
Commissioner Judson told the COM

road on Nichols avenue, east side. on

be required 20 place an evelen-foot
