PROSPECTS AT PIERRE

Pierre, S. d., with population Of
1856, is the smallest capital in the
United States, with the exception of
Carson City, Nev., which has popu-
lation of 2,45O. But the hopes and
ambitions Of Pierre's business men
are not proportionately small. They
have the spirit which rises above and
is superior to any mere showing by
census enumerators.
Pierre is not located in the best ag-
ricultural district in the state OF
South Dakota, but it possesses other
natural advantages and these the
Pierre boosters have determined to
develop to the limit, The town is al
ready supplied with artesian water
and lighted with natural gas from the
same source. The gas bubbles up
from the depth with the water and is
separated by an ingenius process.
But the natural resources of gas and
water are not enough to satisfy the
enterprising people of Pierre. They
surface of the hills that surround the
town and the region of molten rock
| below there are large deposits of pc
troleum. If this could be located and
brought to the surface in paying
quantities, Pierre would have an in
dustry that would soon place it much
higher up in the list of capitals of tho
states. SO the Pierre boosters are
going after the petroleum. They are
working to raise money to sink s.,
600 foot we'll, going deeper than any
of the wells that have so far produced
only gas and water.
The Pierre citizens have some rea-
son for the faith that is strong enough
in them to prompt them to go after
the petroleum. The presence of nat
ural gas is in itself an indication Of
oil, and an opinion by an expert of
the government geological survey
gives them additional hope. He shows
that there is a direct connection be-
tween the variations of the magnetic
needle and petroleum deposits. There
are local magnetic disturbances in
the vicinity of Pierre that are hope
full signs, and geological conditions
are generally favorable to the petrol
cum theory.
/ If the hopeful and enterprising
Pierre boosters succeed in raising
marketable oil as well as water and
gas from the earth beneath them,
the city will have natural advantages
second to none in the state. and that
will mean bright future for PierraI

SEED GRAIN REQUESTS MANY

Stanley county commissioners have
filed with them requests for seed grain
enough to make up good sized train
of itself, as the total of the requests
will make upa shipment of twenty six
cars. Of this practically half will be
distributed from Philip for the western
part of the county, and the rest at
scattered points. But the commission
ers will have plenty of shipments to
Look after when their grain begins to
arrive for distribution.

CATCH GOING OR COMING

On one of the Democratic lists of
candidates as delegates to the nation
al convention is the name of George
Philip of Fort Pierre. On one of the
republican lists of candidates as dele
gates to the national convention is
Alvin Waggoner of Philip. Now it
just happens that there is law firm
under the name of Philip q Waggoner
with offices at Fort Pierre and Philip,
and if the Taft republican ticket wins,
and the Wilson-Bryan democratic
list of delegates are chosen in this
state, the firm will be strictly in the
running politically along in the days
of June.

SCHOOL FUND is LARGE

The report of the condition of the

February 20, showed S3O4,0s3 cash on
hand in all funds, and of this the gen
eral fund carried SS2, ,565 The twine
plant fund carried s21 1,546, and the
game fund has gone up to $32, 1872.
The permanent school fund is at
about as high a point as it has been
for long time except following an
nnal sales, as it shows $40, ,24S. 50, but
this will not be on hand long, as
there are demands far in advance of
that sum now in the Office waiting

Washington, March IL. Preside
Taft has told Representative Villa m
B. Mckinley, his campaign manager,
not to issue nor to accept any more
challenges from Senator Dixon, the
campaign manager for Colonel Roose-

TEDDY TO TALK SOME.

Oyster Bay, March g. Roosevelt has
about decided to take the stump, and
personally make his fight for the pres
idential nomination. He said today
that he would probably be forced to do
so, although he had been reluctant to
decide upon such course. Governor
Stubbs sent message yesterday urg-
ing Roosevelt to make addresses in
Kansas, Michigan, Illinois and Massa-
chusetts Roosevelt said he would have
other invitations pressed upon him, and
might find it difficult to refuse.

AUDITORS TO MEET IN PIERRE

The regular annual meeting of
county auditors will be held in this
city on March 26, and while the legis-
lature refuses to make an appropria-
tion for the expenses of the officials
at these annual meetings, which are
ordered by law, most of the counties
pay the expenses of their auditors, as
they feel that they secure value re-
ceived in return for such expense.

Library Notes

There has been considerable delay in
opening the library. Books have been
slow in arriving and the work of pre-
pairing them for the shelves has pro-
ceeded none more slowly than the H.
brarian has hoped, owing to the SEEM
ing difficulty of getting sufficient help.
At the regular meeting of the library
board on September 8, it was decided
to open the library to the public on
Friday and Saturday, the 18th and
l4th, from 10 a. m. to 9 q. m. for in
spection and registration of borrowers.
Not many more than half the books
have arrived, but it was thought best
not to delay the opening any longer.
The library will be open for reading
and circulation of books on Mondays,
Thursdays and Saturdays from 10 to
IL a. m. and from to 5 and 7 to 8 p.
m. 1t will be open for reading only on
Sunday afternoon from 2 to S. Every
resident of the city or county is en-
titled to the privileges of the library.
Miss Lottie Kinnaird has been ap-
pointed an apprentice in the library.
