WEALTH|EST STATE
OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND FARMS
IN SOUTH DAKOTA ARE
WORTH $4,000 EACH.

G. g. Bowsield in Chicago Herald:
With 10000 farmers who own on
the average 300 acres and have prop
erty amounting to more than $4,000
each, South Dakota is the wealthiest
of the states, per capita. Other in
dustries are keeping pace with agri-
culture and the state i'm the last
twelve years has produced more per
manent wealth for each inhabitant
than any other part of the world.
South Dakota's progress is due to
various causes The state Is favor
ably situated as regards climate and
relation to the great markets of the
middle west.
IT contains 10000 square miles
and has little waste territory. The
vast area of prairie land produces
fine crops of corn, wheat, alfalfa,
etc. while the hills and mountains
are rich with gold. silver. marble,
coal and timber.
AS a grazing country it is unsur-
passed, having an unlimited amount
of luxuriant native grasses and being
abundantly watered.
Diversity Insures Wealth
South Dakota V really began to
prosper until the people took up the
principle of crop diversity. Corn and
live stock have been brought to the
front until they exceed wheat. al
though this Is in the famous hard
wheat belt.

CURED at her home In Spokane Sunday
evening, Aug. 1st after an illness of
some seven months, having contracted
cold last December which latter
developed into inflammation OF the
outer lining OF the heart Everything
that skilled medical aid could do was
rendered in hopes that she might be
saved, having been taken to Portland
and specialists from other cities were
called in consultation. but to no avail
She rapidly grew worse until the end
came.
The deceased was a highly educated
young lady and was very popular In
Spokane society as well as in Grange
Vile, where she spent the best part OF
last summer after returning from
school at Washington d. c. Those who
knew her, loved her and will carry
with them the loving remembrance of
her.
She is survived by her three broth
ers. Emmett, Earl and william, and
her father and mother, the latter be-
ing present at the time of her death.
The services were held in Our Lady
of Lourdes' Catholic church in Spokane
at nine O'Clock Tuesday morning, the
Rev. Father A. Verhangen officiating.
| The Mulhall brothers, residing north
of town were notified by telephone and
an auto was sent after them and they
were driven to Denver to join their
/ father expecting to take their own
car from that place and connect with
the noon train at Lewiston. However.

OPERATE ON JOHN STEVENS.

John Stevens, our local drayman was
operated upon yesterday morning by
Dr. w. S. Moore. assisted by Dr. Stock
ton. Some fourteen months ago John
was making a hurried trip to his
barn at a time when his horses were
making a disturbance, when he slipped
and fell, severely hurting his left arm.
The injured member was examined and
1t was not thought any of the bones
were broken, but as the arm continued
to cause trouble 1t was attributed to
rheumatism and was treated according
ly. Mr.. Stevens was unable to use
the arm In his work and last week
had his physicians take an x-ray pic
ture which showed at a glance that
both bones had been broken near the
elbow. At the ends OF the broken bones
gristle had formed which prevented
them from growing together. After
making an incision on the under side
of the arm DIR. Moore sawed out that
growth, brought the bones together
and screwed on two steel plates. The
work was done at the doctors office
and in the afternoon John was remov-
ed to his home where he is now rest
ing nicely. He will be laid up for a
few weeks but 1t is anticipated that
he will recover full use of the arm.

nous influx of new population to north
ern Idaho, particularly to the Camas
and Nez Perce prairies when made ac-
cessible from the south end OF the
state. He spoke of great issues which
had been pronounced impossible of con-
summation during his long residence
In Idaho, such as the opening of tile
Nez Perce reservation, the admission
of Idaho as a state and the construc-
tion of the railroad to Camas prairie.
Mr.. Parker received a fine ovation from
the audience.
Senator Day of Latah county, the
extreme northern member OF the COM
mission, remarked that north Idaho
wanted to remain a part of the state
and not be tackled on to Montana or
Washington, and that tthe only feas-
ible route for a north and south rail-
road was from New Meadows north.
Mr. Day is well known in this county
and has many steunch friends in this
community. His remarks were we'll re-
ceived.
Senator McBeth of Custer county,
accompanied the commission on the
trip of inspection, made brief ad-
dress in which he stated that in his
opinion there would be little trouble
experienced in raising funds for this
enterprise, but that in the event II
was found to be too expensive, the
road between New Meadows and Grange
vile will ultimately be improved with
a boulevard, and that anyone who had
ever traversed the route could readily
realize the necessity for a great amount
of highway work. The senator was
very enthusiastic ever the roads pos
siblities
The visitors departed the following
morning for Cottonwood, and met al
luncheon with the newly reorganized
| Commercial club, at which time a very
enthusiastic meeting was held. The
principal addresses were made by thu
governor and A. F. Parker, and by f
L. Parker and F. S. Winner on behal
of the Commercial club. Assurance
of enthusiastic support and a vote o
thanks were rendered the party, afte
which the commission departed 70

Considerable Interest Shown
Entire Day Taken Up
With Work.
FARMERS PROFITED
Many Points Of Value to Farmers
and Stockraisers Given
Full Discussion.

The Northern Pacific demonstration
car and experts arrived in the city
last Sunday evening and were accom-
panied by General Agent w. ]. Jordan
Of Lewiston, and c. E. .Arney, western
immigration and Industrial agent, who
rendered valuable and efficient assist
ance in bringing the meetings to a
successful termination.
The meeting at the Geo. Cowgirl
place was very well attended and was
in charge of d. E. Willard, Northern
Pacific development agent, of st. Paul,
and C. Larsen, professor of animal in
dustry, of Huron,S. d. Dairy and beef
cattle were the subjects discussed by
these gentlemen, and in the judging
of the animals presented their strong
and weak points were shown those in
attendance At the conclusion of this
meeting the entire assembly went over
to the Henry Meyer ranch and the above
mentioned lecturers were joined by E.
]. Iddings, dean of agriculture of the
University of Idaho. There were a
number Of graduates of the university
present at this meeting and while the
attendance was not as large as had
been anticipated, keen interest was
shown in the work of the instructors.
In the afternoon the meeting at the
7. W. Bales farm s miles north of
town took place and attracted a good
ly number. The roam bull presented to
Camas prairie by the railroad company,
received very much attention. This
animal was found to be in very poor
condition on account of treatment re-
ceived in shipping. He was selected in
Europe by Prof. Thomas Shaw, and 1t
win be readily seen that he has trav-
eled much. They found this specimen
undeveloped, but the belief was ex-
pressed that as he was only two years
old with the care received since arriv-
ing on the prairie he will come up to
the expectations of his purchasers. The
ancestry Of the bull is beyond question
and there is no doubt that his breeding
Will show up in his offspring.
Corn was the principal subject for
discussion at the o. B. Perkins meet
ing. Mr.. Perkins had on hand corn
that was grown from seed sent out
well developed and can be grown sue
cessfully on the prairie.
Two Of, the demonstrators went over
to Cottonwood at which place meetings
We're held the same day.
The party was composed Of the fol-
lowing: d. e. Willard, St. Paul; Prof

Captain Fishers method of dealing
with situation when less severe
methods failed, is recalled, where
colony of roughs when the first pay
ment of 81 900 600 was made to the
Indians established themselves below
Lapwai and opened a number OF gam
bling games. The agent sent word to
the men to vacate and later some
form of legal notice was served on
them, but without the desired results
This latter information Captain Fisher
received without comment, went quiet
ly TO the agency stables. saddled his
horse. placed brace of revolvers at
his side and rode the length of the
gamblers camp, giving them stern
warning to vacate within a few hours
and for them to give him immediate
evidence of their intention, or he would
proceed on the instant TO adopt his
method of carrying them off the res
ervation. The camp was Immediately
broken, and the gamblers were heard
from no more. 1t was during these
times that opportunity was presented
to the Indian agent to benefit beyond
measure in a financial way through
abuse OF the powers OF his office. In
stead, Captain Fisher left his four
years of valiant service with less than
what he brought to the position, while
he had notably improved the condition
of the government charges. He re-
tired from this service to take up the
old vocation so pleasing to him

Portland. Ore, people. he entered the
Idaho county field, acquiring placer
holdings on the South Fork of the
Clearwater, which engaged his active
attention for number of years, and
in which he retained interests to the

lime OF Arrival Was Indefinite; Commercial Club Banquet
Given Up and Public Meeting at Opera House
Called at Governors Request.
AND OTHERS BOOST ROAD
Governor Alexander Visit East Summer to Interest Capital
on Behalf of the Proposed North and South Railroad
No Expense to State or Inhabitants

While the opera house was not fill
ed to overflowing last Thursday night
in response to a call for a mass meet
ing at which time the governor of the
state of Idaho, the north and south
railroad commission and a number Of
others were to make addresses regard
ing the feasibility of the proposed
road, a fairly representative audience
greeted the party. 1t had been the
intention of the Commercial club to
tender the visitors a banquet in the
evening at which time the gentlemen
would have been given an opportunity
to express their impressions regarding
the matter, but at the request of the
governor the proposition was given up
and mass meeting called. There
were only few hours in which to ad-
vertise the meeting, consequently the
attendance was not as large as desir
ed or the importance of the occasion
demanded.
Mayor r. F. Fulton first introduced
Governor Alexander. who is going over
the details of the proposed road and
showing the benefits to the state in
the opening up of vast inland en-
pire of great wealth, between the rich
and widely separated sections of the
state for through traffic, and as the
connecting link between the northern
and southern portions of our domain,
thereby causing closer political and So
cial relations. The governor. in the
course of his remarks, made the state
ment that the road would be built
without a dollars cost to the state,
and that as he was already in cores
pondence with capitalists of the east
he proposed to make a trip to New
York and Boston about the latter part
of this month, in an effort to interest
these gentlemen in this enterprise.
Hon. A. F. Parker, the local member
of the commission, in addressing his
hearers referred to his long acquaint-
ance with the route of the proposed
north and south road, and claimed that
the cost OF construction had beer
largely overestimated. He dwelt or
