P1erre.-Immigration Commissioner
Deets has just issued a letter to the
people of the state setting forth the
past and proposed work of his depart
ment, as follows:
The bureau of immigration, author
lied by the last legislature, became op-
erative by statute July |, 1911, and
the office was opened for business on
July IS, since which time every effort
has been put forth to properly organ
ice its various activities. The com
missioner of immigration, who is the
states authorized agent in immigra-
ton efforts, feels that he Is justified
at this time in issuing a statement to
the people of South Dakota setting
forth the lines of work that will be
pursued and outlining a policy to be
followed.
He has been busily engaged in get
ting a line on conditions among the
homesteaders west of the Missouri
river and finds them exceedingly hope
full for the future.
Plans are now almost perfected for
a. exhibit of the states products and
~ SNS 'toISo loliI
and irrigation exposition in the coli
at Chicago, November IS to De-
cember 9, and the Northwestern Land
Products show. at st. Paul, December
10 to 90. We believe that the exhibits
to be made at these two shows by
South Dakota will equal that of any
northwestern state, and if it is within
our power to excel them, it will be
done.
The time for industrial development
has O arrived-in fact, it has been
here for some time-and many of our
cities and towns have representative
industries desired. We will get into
to many laborers, but we believe that
another step forward should be taken
by every city, town and community.
Every community has in mind some
line of industry that it would like to
have located, but they find it difficult
to crystalline sentiment around the
project. 1t will be the duty of the
commissioner to assist in getting re-
suits. A department for industrial de-
velopment will be maintained. We
desire to get information from com
mercial clubs and like organizations
regarding their resources and wishes
for industrial development. These
will be published and an aggressive
campaign inaugurated to secure the
inustries desired. We will get into
touch with people who are looking
around for locations for various kinds
of industries and bring them and the
cities together.
We desire to take up more extern
sively than it has ever been done be-
fore the matter of exploiting to the
world the scenic beauties and the
health giving properties of the Black
Hills region, together with their i'm
mems mineral resources.

Assessments.

Pierre.-Inquiries being received at
the state auditors office in regard to
bank assessments this year indicate
that some of the banks of the state
are investigating the situation in re-
gard to the assessment this year, with
possibly an intention of putting up a
protest as to the in which
their property Is assessed. There has
been complaint from the banking fra
ternity for a number of years, and
this may develop into more than mere
verbal protest before the matter is
settled.

awakens approval even from those
who are tolerant of the destructive

OF course the fathers used to have
a jolly time with wrestling matches

exuberances. But when one reads the
typical July 4 speech of about the

patriotism of today is at least more

HOW ABOUT A HOSPITAL?

DO you think Norfolk doesn't need
hospital? DO you think the people
of this city are doing their duty by
themselves. or by their families, or by
the tributary which looks to Norfolk
as its metropolis, in not building a
hospital? Is it fair to ourselves that
when members of our families are sick
or injured, they must be carted 100
miles on a rough railroad journey, be.
fore they can get modern, sanitary
care?
Suppose il was your wife, or your
little girl or little boy who was sud.

care, if a battle were to be made for
life? Wouldn't you think, then, that
Norfolk needed something Of that
sort? Don't you think we owe it to
ourselves to get busy on this PROPOSE.
ton? Is there a man in all Norfolk
who wouldn't gladly go into his pocket
end give as literally as he could, to
establish such an institution in this
city? Surely not.
AS a rule the maintenance of hos
pitals in small cities is Improbable,
Out a proposition was made to the
Norfolk Commercial club some months
ago whereby, if the city will build a
$4,000 hospital, its maintenance for
ever will be taken care of by the Epis.
copal church of Nebraska.
The News hopes, and it believes the
people of Norfolk hope, that the di-
rectors of the Commercial club may
see their way clear to take up the
matter of raising money for hospital,
without further delay.
Norfolk has needed a hospital for
many years, and it needs it worse
every day. The cost is a small matter,
when its importance to the community
is considered and there's no time like
the present for getting busy on the
proposition.
