Charles A. Dipsmore Writes Of Conditions al the Placer Fields and Repeats Stories old Winter Nights About
 the Camp-How to Hold Skunk

thoroughly sampled l think this IS a good plan-the hand samples" don't spell much, for they are so small; the test pits only spell the values at a certain spot-but the dry washer, op- erated from place to place few yards apart, will cell the absolute facts. They are fixing up a "Go-Devif' to put this washer on, and will hitch a burro. his name is Chapo-to this go devil thing, and he will move the ma chine from place to place. These peo pls also have ordered an engine and boiler, and as the wash makes con siderable water constantly they will begin sluicing by the end of the week. They actually expect to get some ~Christmas money" out of it--and think they will. The wash pans bull ly.

Kellis, owning some 200 acres of land close to the Hassayampa river, went over the property with some St. Louis people the other day. This ground is at the lower end of the washes, and some of it is very rich. running upward s2.50 yard. There are places of course. where it runs much higher, but these are ex- cepticnal spots. After a great deal oi prospecting these people went away perfectly satisfied. taking an option 10 hold for some weeks. It is probable they will come across.
 Mitt Quinner, the inventor of the Ouiuner dry crusher was visitor to my beadauarters the other day. He wasn't looking ~for" anything but at everything. He investigated pretty carefully (and he's a cracking good placer man, too,l and he told me that this field was a wonder-thst he had never seen SO large an area Of pay dirt as is evidently here.

NAMED and telling of the wonder
full richness Of soil, the splendid eli
mate, predicting that the future would
see South Dakota lead the sisterhood
of states. How they lived we can
not tell, out there, they stayed and in
the end profted by the full realization
of their rainbow predictions. And
now history is repeating itself. Those
with a yellow streak are getting out,
but the knights of the shears and
paste pot remain on duty, never failing
to be optimistic and urging the claims
of the state for a position among the
most favored. 1t is a hard time for
them, but as in the past, their faith
fulness is bound to bring it's reward.
Here's to the faithful press; may the
state new forget the debt it owes
to the editors who are now sounding
its praises.-Barnhart Flyer.

EDITORS DID NOT DESERT.

Reading Of crop conditions In our
South Dakota exchanges bring wildly
to mind some thing which occurred
during the early history of the then
territory. Homesteaders we're pour
Ing into the country from Brookings
west by the thousands, just as they
nave been going into the newer
country west OF the Missouri the past
two years. Then came the season OF
drought; crops failed and a quarter
section Of land did not produce enough
to support a child. Then came the
rush to get back east and each re-
turning homesteader told how the
country never would amount to my.
thing. But the editors-they did not
desert. Almost to a man they re-
NAMED at their post And frightened
up the columns Of their papers with
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1911-09-28

as possible; they are also preparing
to plant big fields the coming spring.
Many homesteaders, who relin-
pushed their claims, now regret
their haste and are trying to get their
land back. Register Gull is almost
daily in receipt of letters from re-
pentant homesteaders, who write to
ask if it is possible for them to void
their accomplishments. To all there
is but one answer, if they wish to
acquire land they must start all over
again. Register Gull received a letter
from Paul Rohlinger of Milwaukee
asking If ne could get his %relinquish-
ment back. Rohlinger had a fine claim
in the White Owl country, but gave it
up when the drought struck the place.

~HoMEsTEADERs SORRY.

Rains Of last week awakened a lot
of latent courage in the hearts of
homesteaders and ranchmen, who
have been somewhat downhearted on
account Of the ~protracted dry wealth
er, says a Rapid City dispatch.
e. A. Porter. of Quinn, was in Rapid
City and when it began to rain. he
Immediately telephoned to his ranch
and learning that 1t was raining there,
ordered that breaking be commenced
for winter wheat. Then he purchased
seed wheat and expects to grow a
large acreage Of this staple.
DR.. Clark, of Wall, who vas in Rapid
City a few days ago said that home

who have stuck out the dry season

possible, and preparing to sow as
large an acreage OF wheat this fall

HINTS TO AD-WRITERS.

A newspaper advertisement should
be just as explicit as a salesman, the
advantage being that while a clerk can
talk to only one individual at a time
an ordinary issue of a newspaper car
ries the same story to many.
In newspaper advertisements writ
ers frequently shoot over the heads
of their readers, often generalizing,
whereas pointed and explicit informa-
ton should be given in exactly the
same language that would be used if
speaking to a customer, printed mat
ter merely having the advantage of
rendering repetition unnecessary, as
is frequently necessary when talking
to a customer in order to emphasize
the good points of the article he is
trying to sell.
My judgement, says a writer in the
Montana Herald, is that big space
should always be used. One big, bold
advertisement is worth many small
ones. Every eye will catch the big
advertisement-only those who study
the newspaper carefully will see the
small ones. The latter need constant
repetition to be effective. By big
space l mean at least one-quarter or
one-third Of a newspaper page. An
other advantage of the big advertise
ment is that ono the eye is arrested
the mind is at once placed in a re-
ceptive mood.
1 consider the firm name next only
to the heading of the advertisement.
The subject-matter and heading are
Of first importance-next to fix and
constantly keep the firm name before
the public.
