DON'T LIKE THE PLAN
Deadweod Business Club Don't Approve
the idea of Asking individuals
to Dig Up For the State.

Pioneer Times: The directors of the
Deadwood Business club have turned
down the proposition submitted by the
commission appointed by the governor
to raise fund by private subscription
for the erection of building to repre-
sent South Dakota at the Panama-Pacfic
exposition at San Francisco next year.
The matter was discussed thoroughly
and this decision arrived at after m sture
consideration. In the FIRST place, it
is believed that it will be impossible To-
raise by this means fund sufficient to
give the state creditable representa-
ton. Besides, the directors do not
think that the people individually
should be called upon to preserve the
reputation of the state from the penny
wise policy of the last legislature,
which refused to make the necessary
appropriation for building at the ex
position. Furthermore, it is not likely
in the face of war conditions in Europe
that the exposition will be able to open
on the date set and if it is necessary to
postpone the opening, the next legis-
lature will have ample time to make q
suitable appropriation to remedy the
neglect of the last.

SMITH MONUMENT UNVEILED.

Dedication services and unyeiling Of
the monument erected by popular sub
scription to Henry Weston Smith, the
pioneer preacher of Deadwood, took
place Aug. 20, at monument site. This
is about "a miles from Deadwood on the
Spearfish road, about mile from the
spot where he was killed.
George V. Ayres presided and intro
duced N. E. Franklin, who spoke in
eulogy of Mr.. Smith. He was followed
by Hon. E. W. Martin, Rev. j. A. Ed
wards, Judge w. G. Rice and Governor
Byrne. The exercises were of much in
terest, and were attended by between
two and three thousand people.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Martin
suggested that. the work of the Pioneer
Society would not be complete until a
monument was placed on the spot where
gold was first discovered in the Black
Hills in Custer; and also marker on
the exact spot where Mr.. Smith met his
death, with trail leading to it. Gold
was first discovered in July, 1874, in
French creek within the limits of Gus
ter City at the corner of Eighth and
Washington streets by II. N. Ross.
The Smith monument, a plain granite
shaft, was unveiled of its draping Of
national flags. 1t is splendidly located,
with appropriate inscriptions, and sur
rounded by a substantial iron fence.

THEY DO NOT FEEL wARLIKE.

New York.-One of the few humorous
aspects of the great European war, seen
here, was the mad rush of foreigners to
become Americans. Immediately fol-
lowing the first declaration of war in the
gigantic struggle the bureau of natural
ization here was fairly swamped with
applications, and they have been COM
ing in every day since.
The foreigners hope by filing their de-
sire to become an American citizen they
may escape compulsory military service
in their native lands. Whether they
will or not is legal point that has MOI
been threshed out.

SOUTH DAKOTA MACHINERY.
Display at STATE Fair to Be Greatest
In World.

In World.
The worlds greatest display Of ma
chinery and giant tractors Is held ev-
cry year at the South Dakota State
Fair, according to statements made by
exhibitors themselves. There are sew.
eral reasons for this, the first being
that South Dakota farmers are among
the most progressive in the use Of
power machinery to tighten and short
en- their work. Another reason is that
South Dakota land adapts itself well
to the use of power. Still further
cause for such magnificent display is
the fact that no other State Fair sets
aside 80 large a tract of land for the
demonstration of traction engines,
The exhibit last year was worth
miles Of travel to see, and the demon
stratons were a revelation of what
modern steam and gas tractors can

Present indications are that the
showing Of machinery in the 1914 State
Fair at Huron will far surpass those
of previous years. The machinery
building will be entirely finished, and
its great expanse of $1,000 square
feet floor space will be crowded with
every labor saving device known to
modern life. To see these exhibits is

more and greater things. In addition

BUILT BRAZIL aAILROAD.


Sioux City Journal A. B. Jekyll Of
New York, builder of the Madeira and
Mamore railway, line that pierced
wooded Businesses of Brazil and con-
nected an interior waterway 5000 miles
long with waters leading to the coast,
was in Sioux City yesterday and spent
part of the day looking over cattle on
sale here with view to stocking large
land holdings of his in South Dakota.
Mr.. Jekyll is brother of David Jek-
yll, who formerly lived here, now at
Highmore, s. ID. A native of Illinois,
Mr.. Jekyl's business has taken him to
the ends of the earth and his success in
building 250-nile railroad in the heart
of the Brazil jugleland was one of the
most startling engineering accomplish
ments of the last decade.
Mr.. Jekyll discussed the railroad pro-
ject at the Martin hotel in connection
with questions raised concerning the
possibility Of United States commercial
interests gaining foothold in South
America.
"To my mind there has always been
a market for United States goods in
South America if the manufacturers
only packed their products properly.
Goods shipped into South American
countries eventually leave the cities on
the backs of pack mules. They travel
far into the interior, are dumped into
boats for still further travel, and the or
dinary packing case put out in the Unit
ed States will not stand this sort of hard
ship.
when we were building our road
into the heart of Brazil we used Ameri-
can products because We had the means
of transporting those products. But
others did not have the equipment we
had, and those others must be taken in
to consideration when the American
factory turns out its supplies for the
South American market.
"We went into Brazil with $4,000
men to build our railway line and we
cleaved paths through the forests some
250 feet wide and 250 miles long. With
such an army of men, and with such op.
erations under way, the matter of trans
porting provisions was smaller detail

No All Night Drinking at Coney
Island.

The Mayor Is undoubtedly right In
refusing TO issue all night licenses for
Coney Island resorts. Legal closing
time keeps the crowd supplied with re-
freshment on any rea sonable theory OF
plea sure or necessity.
So far as the young people of New
York are concerned. the great evil Of
Coney Island is It's lateness Those
who have an opportunity Of seeing the
returning crowds will find little to crit
icise or complain of in their condition
or behavior. The young women are
liquor. They are quiet and well be-
haved, absolutely irreproachable In APP
pearance and behavior In nine hundred
and ninety-nine cases out of a thou
sand. The young men are in the vast ma
jority OF instances stone sober. Intoxi-
cation is so rare that the stray victim
is conspicuous and his condition is the
subject Of severe comment by all. The
occasional exhibitions Of boisterous
mrth are not the result Of liquor but
of high spirits.
All this is the common observation
OF cool, dislnterested out slders. work.
aday or rather work o. night people,
who encounter the homing pleasure
crowd in the cars and subways But
there is also a common observation Of
fatigue and oyerstrain, especially among
the young women. Any one can see
that many delicate girl making her
way with a batch Of other young people
from the island TO Harlem at 3 or
been In bed hours ago for her own
good. The tired eyes. drawn faces and
listless attitudes tel the story of exer-
ton and excitement far too long drawn
out. Perhaps the victim of the amuse-
ment passion had stood behind coun-
ter all day. She had danced or strolled
about and laughed and talked all night
and at o'clock or Whereabouts she was
due behind that counter again. The
tired lads frankly doze in their seats.
Decorum forces the girls to sit up wide
awake and as primly as they are
able.
The fact is Coney Island should be
shut up tight at IL o'clock In view Of
the long journey home for ninety-five
per cent. Of its patrons the whole
crowd should he turned away az that
hour What possible need can there
be for all night revelry: above all what
excuse for all. night liquor drinking?

that they may find IN them some mod,-

Seemingly. many are willing to be con-
verted and seek salvation where but a
few years ago they were sure Il could

Strong as was the violence with which
