to thresh-well, bounded by the
limits of amagination. Dreams
such as these, as we say, are
pleasant and well within the
realms Of possibility, but in them
selves avail one nothing.
In talking with pioneers from
different parts of the middle
west that helped reconstruct the
frontier of fifty years ago into
one hundred dollar farm lands
and in studying the economies of
the reconstruction periods we
conclude that in the past it has
not been the original settlers in
new country that have reaped
the harvests. In accordance
with the inevitable law of the
survival of the fittest most of the
holders dropped out Of the race
and drifted elsewhere, while
others flushed in to take their
places. 1t has been the second
and even the third generation
that has gained profits from the
toll of the first.
In those days men titled the
soil as did their fathers before
them. Improved methods were
too complex to grasp and expert
mental was too hazardous to at
tempt. Times have changed.
Gradually the experimental
period advanced until today,
farming in scmi-arid countries is
an exact science. The man that
studies his soil construction and
applies Systematically and intelli-
gently the proper methods as
laid down by specialists who, as
results have shown, are compe-
tent to advise is the man who is
going to make the mediate prof.
it. In every farm journal, in
every agriculturl bureau report,
in every dry farmers congress he
car find the mistakes of his fore
fathers epitomized and presented
in such a form as to be readily
worked and proftid by.
BY the study and application
Of these improved and accepted
methods and in no other way can
the settlers in Beaver and Box
Elder valleys pass by the long
and tedious reconstruction period
that has made the development
of a new country such hardship
in the past. Those of us who
are not farmers, let us observe
the ways Of our more experienced
neighbors; those of US who claim
to be farmers, let us read more
extensively and practice more
concientiously the teachings of
the wise men.
Let us cease grumbling about
the dry seasons, the high cost, of
living, the failure Of the railroad
to build to our dooryards, and do
what we can with what we have
got. Once the farmer makes
good and, the rest will follow-its
all up to him. Raise your wheat
flax, oats, corn, etc, and raise
lots of it. The results will be
the fullfillment of your twilight
dreams.
Rumors from Rapid City state

Rumors from Rapid City state
that the Milwaukee railroad is
going to build from that place to
Miles City this year and that the
contractors are already on the
job. Guess maybe Custer coun-
ty will get more than one new
line this year from the looks of
things now that the N. P. has
also started operations on their
line from Mandan to Terry.

Man to Important Position in
Washington.
Washington, D. c., March 81
William n. Lewis, the Boston ne
gro and ex-Harvard graduate,
was sworn in today as Assistant
Attorney General in the Depart
ment of Justice, despite the fact
that the senate at the last session
failed to confirm his nomination.
Unless he is confirmed Lewis will
receive no pay for his work. The
appointment is the most import
ant ever given anegro, and was
made at the instance of Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, to ap-
pease the negro voters. As AS
.sistant Attorney General Lewis
would have rank above admirals
and generals at official social func-
tons in Washington. The job is
relatively the same one. held by
Judge Boyd before his appoint
ment to the federal bench. 1t is
the belief here that there will be
a hard fight in the senate to pre-
vent the confirmation o fLewis'
appointment In the senate.
