1.-THE BROTHERS DAKOTA"

In the brilliant drama of the States,
that had its inception in 1776 with an
amateur cast of thirteen, there has
been unfolded, from time to time, vivid
scenes or startling acts of adventure,
conquest, civilization, progress, manu-
facture, farming, merchandising,
craftsmanship, science, art, literature
that have won the plaudits of the
world.
The company enacting this wonder
play has been added to from time to
time and now boasts of a well rounded
out cast of 4S stars.
Not all have had the good fortune
to play the leading role-a few are yet
to be heard from. We predict right
here that when THE Brothers Dakota
step to the center of the stage, with all
their wonderful natural talent and re-
source, their debut will mark another
epoch in the history Of these United
States.
When these two versatile actors were
first associated with this world-famous
galaxy of stars, they were naturally
cast for villainous parts, owing to their
bad injun" pr~oclivities, but under the
careful guidance of those masters OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Custer and Miles
they soon developed into twin
"Stronghearts."
1t won't be long now before their
names will be in bold face type on the
program, and in electric lights over the
entrance.
There is just one thing lacking be-
fore the "day-boo" Of the Dakotas in
the stellar role is possible and that
is population. Nature has been Law
ish in her generosity by endowing the
Dakotas with limitless that
are fairly shrieking for development.
The possibilities of this vast area are
wonderful. Think of a territory of
over $4,000, 900 acres occupied by about
1,400, 900 people. Perhaps you can get
a better conception if we say that were
the Dakotas apportioned among their
population, there would be about seven,
ty acres to each person, while in the
city of New York there are fifty people
to each acre.
"You need North Dakota, North Da,
kota needs you" Is a slogan that could
and should be taken seriously by thous'
ands Of people in the United States
and it refers to Brother South Dakota
as we'll as Brother North. Some OF
those ffty-to-the-acre in New York
City would profit by a better know
ledge of this northwest country.

Hold-Ups in the Yellowstone.

There is a popular disposition to view
the hold-ups in the Yellowstone National
Park as nuisances. Nothing could better
confirm the ingratitude of the public-or
its failure to appreciate faithful presen'
tation of the classic.
The park is a generous slice OF our
Wild West, preserved by government act
and appropriation in all its primitive
quaintness and natural splendor. II offers
a refuge for game of all sorts, including
elk, deer, bear, coyotes and road agents; II
shelters the only considerable herds left OF
bison and of stage coaches. 1t presents
faithfully the drama of the West before
the West was tanned, before people had
fenced in the range and all but exter-
minated the wild life, before they travelled
in automobiles and retained their valua-
bles.
In the Yellowstone they still relinquish
their watches and rings and change, as OF
old, to bandanna-masked bandits, who have
a careless way of handing rifles. Surely

Perched high upon the box beside the stage

to comprise as integral portion of the

Locomotive Engineers.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS a former locomotive engineer I
want to thank you for your recent editorial
entitled Matt Shay" and in reference to To-
connective engineers generally. From my boy
hood | have always shared the admiration
for locomotive engineers which you de-
scribed so nicely in your article, and even
eleven years in the cab fireman and engi-
neer and the close personal association of
such career has left me still a sincere ad-
mrer of the courage, nerve and skill which
are perhaps the chief characteristics of the
men who run the $4,000 locomotives which
conduct the internal commerce of North
America. GEORGE II. BAKER.
