OLD MILLERITE
IN CALIFORNIA
Letter From E. j. Miller at San
Diego

San Diego. Calf, Nav 7th, 1913.-
Editor Press.-You will find enclosed
Sl.0O to pay for Press for another
year. We can't hardly wait to get
it, and see how you are making it in
Miller and Hand County. We live
among the fruits, roses and fine
climate. but that is not all there is to
life. We miss friends and the City
of Miller where we put in our best
days, sometimes with success. end
sometimes failure. But as we look
back we call them good old days.
And whenever we meet any of the
early 80 settlers we feel that we
have seen a tried friend. | note
with pleasure that Miller is in the
forefront on road building. This
county has spent $3.50, 900 on roads
and consider 1t money we'll spent.
1t is a vast undertaking to build
roads here compared with South
Dakota. where 500 would go as far
as 200 here. This is a day of
automobiles and rapid travel and the
state and city that prepares for it
will be the state and city of the fut-
ure, What the Panama canal will
be to US as a city, so would good
roads in to Miller be. 1t would
seem that our part of South Dakota
has been hit some in the last two
years. but she is coming to the front
and don't you forget it. To be con-
WINGED is to come to the coast and see
what a vast domain of poor desert
country you have to come over to
reach anything as good for agrlcul-
ture as your own beautiful state.
We have a nice country to live in.
but it takes money and lots of it.
We are getting ready for one of the
most unique exposition ever held
not so great as at San Francisco, but
it will be a wonderful fair. San
Diego is doing her best to make it
worth seeing, The buildings are
now being constructed. The state
and city will expend something like
So, 900, 900 and the other states and
countries will make the amount up
to some of the great fairs that have
been held. 1t will be an all-the-year
Fair. We expect those who come to
San Francisco will also visit US. and
a great many who will spend the
winter here in. 1915.
Mr. Craigo is getting better very
rapidly ard we expect to see out at
business again ere long. He has the
grit of the South Dakotan. May
this be one of the best years Dakota
has had. and the women have the
right to vote, is our wish.
Yours,
