Land Rush viii See Good Crops

Land Rush VIII see GOOD Crops.
Dallas, S. D., Aug. Especial to
The News: All eyes are now on the
Rosebud country and the Rosebud
country is glad All eyes are fixed on
the Rosebud country for two reasons.
First--From oct to II will occur
the registration for another opening
of land in this famous Rosebud coun.
try and people are land hungry.
Second-While the cry of drought
comes from almost every part of the
nation, the glad news is being spread
abroad from the Rosebud country that
she has enjoyed more rainfall than
any portion of the United States. Ac-
cording to the newspaper reports the
Rosebud country had greater rain
fall in June and July than any part
of the country.
On the second day Of August rain
fall averaging approximately two
inches fell over almost the entire
Rosebud country. The corn crop is
looking extraordinarily well and this
will insure bumper crop.
Practically all of the newspaper re-
ports are to the effect that South Da-
kota is burned up. No doubt portions
/ of the state have suffered greatly for
the lack of rainfall and great por-
ton of the state has suffered i'm
mensely from extremely hot weather,
but the Rosebud country is certainly
an exception, and the opening of Mel
lette and Bennett counties is coming
at a peculiarly fortunate time, not be-
cause the Rosebud country is in bet
ter condition than heretofore, but be-
cause great portion of the country
where land is worth four times what
it is selling for il the Rosebud coun-
try is practically burned up. The ma
jority of the people who come to Dial
las during the opening to register for
land will find the conditions here
much better than in their own coun
try.
The city of Dallas is getting in
shape to care for an immense crowd
believing that this will be the largest
opening that has ever yet been held
During the registration for TripI
county lands more than 10000 people
Registered at Dallas, but ONeill or
the main line of the Northwestern
got the largest crowd of any registra
ton point. At this opening there /:
mo registration point on the main line
The notaries in Dallas have formed
themselves into an association known
as the Dallas Notarial association, ant
have adopted their articles and nov
have membership of more than for
lty. A large cement block building
the city hall, will doubtless be uset
as the home of the association.
The city council has made arrange
ments for several plain clothes mel
who have heretofore attended open
ings and will be able to amply pro
tect all land seekers from any conf
dence men that might come into thu
country. Gambling and other objec
tionable features that are sometime
experienced at these openings will b.
entirely eliminated. In a letter to tn
mayor, the superintendent of the open
ing has stated that he anticipates
greater rush than ever before.

tiers. Much of the time after the civil
war was gone over by the speaker
and Daniel Webster got credit for the
doing and undoing of the days of war
The civil war, he declared, was the
result of the teachings of two great
men, Webster and Calhoun. While
Webster taught the young man of the
north to say II am an American" Cal
houn taught the young man Of the
south to say, Il am a Kentuckian or
am North Carolinian."
1T is the speaking voice that rules
the world" declared Or. Waters, and
it is the speaking voice that always
will rule it,
A pathetic word picture was made

years after the war Decoration day
then, he said, was not celebrated like

graves were decorated with the flow.
ers grown in the gardens of the homes.
The decorating was quiet and there
| was much praying. The music was
, the national hymn and often the high
wall was scaled and the graves there
too, were decorated, while the band
played Dixie"
After the war, the world may have
said that Daniel Webster had con
quered," said DR.. Waters. "Webster's
books had been almost bible to the
mountaineers of the south"
The difference between prosperity

There are no failures except mora
failures. No matter what the failur,

The country was saved in 1850 de

Only two men then knew of the darl
cloud of war then hanging over thu
