Nearly all show that our boasted soil

because we have neglected the con-

neglected the conservation Of our for

We have been forever taking some

this discovery. They said that several
times they were almost on his heels,
but that he would disappear as fast
as a rabbit to its burrow. The detec.
tives had no idea at this time that the
fellow had a cave and that 1t was
practically surrounded with shrub
berry. So thick, in fact, was the shrub
berry that when he passed into his
cave 1t closed in around him in a way
that rendered him for the time being
safe from arrest.
In a case of this kind the detectives
said that dogs, such as are trained
and used by the New York police and
others, would have been of the great
est service, as they would have hunted
the fellow to his lair.
Brown had plenty Of money and re-
fuses to eat or allow the young wom-

meals supplied at the expense Of the
city. He orders their meals, which
are of the best, and are always accom-
panied with many delicacies.

FOR a PUBLICITY
Legislative Appropriation Small But
Puts State in Procession

P~ierre-South Dakota is in line with
other northwestern states to begin
an advertising campaign for the de-
velopment of the state-with a posi-
Bile if attached. This possibility is
the intent of the members who were
opposing such action, to carry the
matter to the referendum. After they
get away from the excitement Of the
occasion they may change their minds
in regard to such action, or they may
not. Their plea was that the state
could not stand such expense and they
would carry the question up to the
people to save it.
The appropriation for that depart
ment as finally left. carried $17,5 for
two years, an amount so small when
compared with what other northwest
ern states are doing in hat direction
hat it will no doubt create a smile
when looked at from other states, but
that was all which could be secured
and it will make a start. AS to the
expense under the new plan OF sub
mission Of referred laws to the vOt-
ers, it will cost from three to five
cents to each voter to submit any
proposition, and submission Of this
law will meet such a cost.
The appropriation only carries one
and one-half cents for the first year
and two and one-half cents for the
second year, to carry out the pro-
visions Of the law would be cheaper to
the people OF the state than would be
submission. On a question OF state
valuation, the amount appropriated
for this purpose is M hundredth OF
one per cent Of the assessed valuation
of the state, one cent out Of each one
Kindred dollars of taxes paid; which
will be used to boost the state and its
resources. And yet there is another
feature. The amount asked is about
one-tenth Of n cent an acre on the
state lands. If by using that amount
in advertising, the value of such lands
could be raised only one cent an acre
the state would be far ahead and the
increase would no doubt run into dol
lars instead OF cents, One opponent
said 1t might be call right for the real
estate men to advertise because OF the
money they made out of it, but he did
not believe in the state paying for
their advertising"
If real estate men with a very small
area of land to handle can make
money by advertising, why not tbs
state with its millions OF acres? These
are a few points which the people oil
the state should consider when petit
tinpr orn nrncpNfn1 10 Thorn If thpy
ever get around. The economy would
be to decline, to sign as the state viii
be ahead even if the advertising would
not bring a cent of increase, but the
gain in that line will he thousands
and such economy would be the most
costly the state could indulge in.

County Buildings at Fair

Uncomfortable county will have one
of the finest OF buildings on the state
fair grounds for next Septeml er's fair.
The county commissioners have set
aside $4,000 for the erection OF a build
ing to take the place of the n de-
stroyed by fire. 1t will be larger
and in every way better than the old
building, and from correspondence re-
ceiyed by S. n. McIivaine. secretary
of the state fair toard, other counties
will likely follow the race set by
Beadle county and erect buildings for
thier W use before the September
exhibition. Already applications for
space have been received from cast
ern manufacturers, and also from
stockmen. There are reasons to be-
lieve that the present years fair will
