lETTER
(By S. II. Goodfellow)

When l read about the snow storm
in Dakota a couple of weeks ago it
made me shiver to remember how dis
agreeable they used to be when | had
to get out in one of them and water
and feed the stock.
However, in spite of those disagree
able storms-the first in the season is
always the most unbearable| always
liked Dakota and have a fraternal feel
ing for her which will always remain
with me no matter where | may live.
it was there | got my eye teeth cut.
Some of the people who were with
me "in the cutting" are still living in
Brookings county and | sometimes
wonder if they remember those days
and if they were benefited as much
by those experiences as | was. | often
review the times from 1880 to 1896 and
the experiences of those years and, If
we were to live over them the second
time, | would not change the course
zone jot or one title" but, if IN alter
alton at all, would put more zeal and
determination into the course.
While the snow storm was on in
Dakota we were having some quite I'M
usual rains here. Since those rains we
have had more summer-like weather
thnr urn bod thrnDoh tho C1lmn1ar This
is a wonderful climate.
In fact, it is SO wonderful the peo-
pie attempt to sell it by the acre. If
you buy real estate here you should
be careful of whom you buy or they
will sell you one acre of land and
three acres of climate. 1t reminds me
of the early days in Dakota when, if a
man bought n quarter section of
land he had to be on his guard or
they would deed him two acres. At
the same time, if any person comes out
here to buy a home, and does not go
crazy over the climate, they can get
one just as cheap as anywhere in a
city OF similar size ana COIN culcICt5.
High cost of living" is no greater here
than in any other part of the United
States and the cost of high living" is
as expensive here as anywhere. In
fact, if any person comes here for
health, climate, fun, and expense he
can get all he wants and just what he
is looking for.
All the many people here from
Bookings that | know of seem quite
contented and, save a Longing in
their heart for Old Dakota land which
seems to be fully satisfied by a short
visit back in the Good Old Summer
Time" are quite content to spend the
evenings of their lives in this congen-
ial and social atmosphere.
AS the time draws neal for the an
nual tourist drive" we are anticipat-
ing many pleasant visits from old &C
quaintances from Home"
The latch string hangs out at 337
South Hill street to all our old friends
and the olive branch is tied to the
string for all those with whom we
fought in THE Good Old Days"

Notwithstanding statements in Amer

strong optimistic sentiment persists
among Mexican leaders here. They are
counting upon the pressure of other
Latin-American countries and the fear
of a breach in the commercial relations
between Latin. America and the United
States to induce President Wilson to
move cautiously. The newspapers print
reports that the people of all South
American countries sympathize with the
MeNicans in the present crisis. South
American diplomats, the papers report,
all regard the maintenance of the
American expedition on Mexican. soil as
a hagrant violation of Mexican sover-
eighty, and believe that the establish
ment of a border patrol would prevent
bandit raids.
