MILLIONS ARE NOW in VIEW IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.
CROPS BEST in YEARS.
RECENT HEAVY RAINS HAVE MADE
CROP PROSPECTS SURPASS ALL
PREVIOUS RECORDS.

A Sioux Falls dispatch of recent date
has the following in regard to the crop
conditions in South Dakota:
"The recent rains which have swept
over practically all parts of South Da.
kota. have made a really wonderful
difference in the crop situation, and
now people are talking with confidence
Of South Dakota this year producing q
wheat crop which alone will bring the
farmers of the state an aggregate
revenue of s50O00OO0 With one or
two more timely rains there now sp.
pears little doubt that South Dakota
will this year raise small grain, corn
and other crops which will be worth
between sl75OOOOOO and s2OO,OOOCOO
Nothing but some unforeseen calamity
can now prevent the state raising one
Of the largest crops in its history.
The improvement in the crop situa-
tioE because Of the heavy rains, has re-
suited in revival of business of all
kinds and prosperity prevails in all
parts of the state.
In come localities early Gown grain
is being harvested, this being confined
to fall barley and rye. A rye field
which has been harvested near Murdo,
Lyman county. Is estimated to yield
from twenty I've to forty bushels to
the acre. Barley thus far harvested in
Aurora county will yield about forty
bushels per acre. With another week
Of warm weather the remainder of the
early sown small grain will be ready
for the harvest and the farmers of the
state will be as busy as bees gathering
their crops. Corn is making rapid
progress in sll parts of the state, and
promises to be bumper yield.

$4,000 CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOR
HOT SPRINGS.
Will Be BUILT SOON.
WILL Be LOCATED IN LOWER TOWN
CORNER EIGHTH STREET and
CHICAGO AVENUE.

It is with great satisfaction that the
Star announces that the Carnegie
Library is assured for Hot Springs.
The Library Board, consisting of E. II.
Juokett, president, Mrs. A. B. Connor
and Mrs. j. H. Gillespie have been
working upon this for the past two
years, and while Mr.. Juckett was in
the East, arrangements were completed
whereby Mr.. Carnegie makes a dons.
tion of 100000 for q public library
building.
Our readers are probably familiar
with the history Of the library of which
this city has good reason to feel proud.
The movement was first started by Mrs.
Theresa M. Evans and for one year was
supported almost entirely by her efforts.
The matter was then taken up by the
Travellers Club and the Shakespeare
Club, and library association was
formed. For several years the library
was supported by public subscription
and it Das during this time that Mr..
and Mrs. Juckett took up the work
enthusiastically and kept the library
going. A few years ago the proposition
to support the library by half mill
tax was submitted to the voters or the
city and was carried by good majority.
Since the city took charge of the library
it has been located in the city hall, and
when the post office was changed to
the new building the library was moved
into the room formerly occupied by the
Post Office Department.. Since that
time the library has gradually grown
until now the average daily attendance
is about one hundred and ffty and
about seventy books are loaned each
day.
The site for the ne1 library has been
purchased and it will be located on
Lots one () to Six (6 inclusive in
Block nine 10y at the corner of Chicago
Avenue and Eighth street. The new
site is one hundred and fifty feet square
and after the building is erected q park
will be maintained around same. It
perhaps will show somewhat the enthu.
siasn shown by our people when We
state that 8, ,4O0. 90 was raised for the
purchase Of this site in one afternoon
by the citizens of the town and the Star
predicts that Hot Syringe will never
regret the steps that it has taken to
procure Carnegie Library.

The following communication from

Quartette was received by the Star
yesterday telling Of their trip up to the

where We arrived by noon, giving con-
cert on the street corner and were
again on our way by 100 p. m.
As We 60 along we find the people
very cordial and their hospitality very
keen. They are especially interested
in the Black Hills since the scenic
auto road will bring people through
these towns on their way west.
From Caputs We went to Farming.

concerts at both places. We had the
fact of how much the new road is need.

We got of the road; and later, when We
came to the Milwaukee bridge over the
Cheyenne river, we had very exciting
time getting the Car to the bridge
The only way of crossing this bridge
is to go down the track for mile or so
on the ties which are not very near
together and there are not very many
rocks between so that a machine has
to be pretty strong to be able to stand
the hard jolting. Our trasty little car
stood up right we'll and IL it stands the
rest of the trip as we'll, the Imperial
Automobile Company can we'll be
proud Of their product. After leaving
the bridge we struck good roads and

COLUMBUS IN STATUARY

Gated on November 8, 1862. although
the foundation had been laid as far
back as 1916. The inscription It bears
is; ITO Christopher Columbus. the
Fatherland." Spain. which country
failed the Genoese during his life-
time, has been more generous to his
memory, and here are many shafts
raised to record the greatness OF his
deed
Perhaps the noblest monument yet
erected to the memory of Columbus
is that which stands in Barcelona. IL
was In this city that King Ferdinand
and his consort, Isabella, received
the admiral on the return from his
first voyage. II Is most, appropriate
situation. Much care was taken In
the selection Of the design of the
Barcelona monument. and the result
is artistic in every sense OF the
word.
In the new world nearly every
country has testified In recognition
of the deed of Columbus by the erec-
ton of some character of monument

the new Columbus statue unveiled IL
Washington on June 8. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been feeling tha,
this country has not had a really
worthy monument to the man who Is
primarily. responsible for the exist
ence of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when. In 1906. Representative James
A. Goulden of New Yori, introduced
bill appropriating the sum OF $780,
900 to be used for Columbus memo
rial. Congress passed the bill and Il
was signed In 1907 by President
Roosevelt.
The design Is a combination of
fountain. shaft and statue.
The fountain is semi-circular, 70
feet wide and 65 feet from front to
rear. The balustrade which half en-
circles 1t bears the effigy of a heroic
lion at either extremity. The salient
feature OF the memorial is a splen-
did stone shaft surmounted by a
globe. Before this shaft. which rises

the first discoverer. II Is said 10 be
the original monument erected on
this continent to commemorate the
achievement OF Columbus.
1t is unfortunate that there Is no
contemporaneous painting or likeness
OF Columbus extant. For this reason
artists who have attempted to repro
duce his lineaments In marble have
been at great disadvantage.
AS matter of fact the accepted
likeness of the admiral is after the
manner OF being an idealistic con
ception. All are familiar with the
strong, clean-shaven face from which
deep. expressive eyes look out Under
a broad brow, The deep lines from
the nose to the corners OF the mouth
are also characteristic of the popular
portraits of Columbus Who would
recognize the discoverer depicted
with a gray beard? Yet 1t is more
than probable that hs wore one
when he planted the banner OF
Spain on the shores of the New
World
The few descriptions of the person
al appearance of the admiral which
we have from those who knew him
well tell us "he was man of sturdy
stature, rather above the average
height, of very ruddy complexion,
with freckles and red hair when he
was young. The latter soon turned
white. which was also the color of
his beard" Boards were the fashion
of his day in Spain, and il is easy to

island, We find great number of
statues erected in honor of the dis
coverer Even the English have done
honor to the navigator at Nassau in
the Bahama islands and at Trinidad ::
and the people of Santo Domingo
have also raised splendid monu-
ments while in Cuba, where, in the
cathedral at Havana, the bones OF
Columbus were so long inferred,
there are a great many representa-
tions Of this historic figure. The
statue which is now placed in the
presidents palace, Havana, Is an ar
tistic piece of work, but the most
striking efIgy of all in Cuba is Vail
mitjana's sculpture depicting Colum-
bus In chains. II Is to be regretted
that this beautiful work is only a
clay model. The representation is
that Of Columbus in his old age. He
is seated on a coil of rope on the
deck of the ship which is carrying
him 10 Spain. He reclines against a
capstan. his fettered hands held
before him. The artist has caught
a striking expression of resignation
combined with melancholy. The work
is masterpiece OF sentiment and ex-
preston.
Another historical group Is that
which was presented by Empress Eu-
genie OF France to the Republic OF
Colombia. II now stands at Cristo-
bal. the Canal Zone.
Throughout attn America the ven-
Grafton for Columbus Is universal, and
we find his memory honored in cities
of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile and
other Pan-American states.
II is curious to note that II was
also Latin, Frenchman, who
erected the first monument in the
United States In honor Of the achieve

The representations which we see
today OF Columbus can nearly all be
traced back to an engraving called
the Paulus Jovius cut. which was

Even the lost painting was not an
original likeness, for 1t was painted
