800 INCHES OF RAIN.

just as a good many people were
beginning to think that we were in
for protracted dry spell, and some
who always see the dark side, thought
we were going to have a dry spring
'neverything," then along comes our
regular Memorial Day rain last Fri
day, and such a nice rain too. 1t
rained good part of Friday and Fri
dav night, and part of Saturday, and
then sprinkled little more Sunday.
In all the precipitation up to Monday
night measured 1.40 inches. This
rain Low insures cs good small grar,
crop and an immense hay crop, and
will give the corn and other spring
crops mighty fine start. 1t most
always rains "just in time" in Mellet
tee county. Breaking sod is now be
ing rushed with renewed vigor and
before the season ends there will have
')een more sod turned over in Mellette
county this year tbaa in any previous
two years. Our people are waking
up to the fact that this is more than
"just good stock country" but in
reality is an A No. l agricultural

GIVES FACTS ON LOEw, INC.
j.. II. Perkins Issues Statement on
New Theatrical Enterprise.

James H. Perkins of the firm of Mont
gomery & Co. Issued yesterday a state
ment regarding the financing of Loew,
Inc, the company handling the Marcus
Loew theatrical enterprises. A number
Of rumors concerning interests con-
nected with this new enterprise, one of
which was to the effect that J. P. Nor
gan & Co. were deeply interested. have
been afloat recently.
ut is a fact" Mr. Perkins said yes
terday, that bankers have for some
time been interested in the possibilities
Of motion pictures and have given the
subject a great deal OF serious thought
The facts with regard to the Loew
financing are substantially as follows:
'Mr. Loew has reached a point where
he feels that the business warrants much
greater expansion. And Mr.. Loew's rec
ord in the past ten years seems to
prove his ability to attain even greater
success Montgomery & Co, Van EN-
burgh & Atterbury and certain other as
sociates. having become aware of this
and believing In the future of Mr.
Loew's enterprises, are arranging to
finance his company on a much larger
scale, furnishing 100000 additional
cash for the acquisition of new theatres
and general expansion of the business.
OF the 100000 shares which the new
corporation proposes to issue $4,000
shares have been purchased and placed
among a limited group of these bankers
and associates. I might state here that
1t is obviously impossible TO allot the
stock to all desiring 1t. In fact. appli-
cations from this limited group were
so heavy that their allotments had 90
be sharply cut The remaining $40, 900
shares are to go. with additional cash.
to Mr.. Loew and his associates in ex-
change for the business of Loew's en-
terprises. The stock has not been Of
fered for public subscription in spite of
many applications that have been re-
ceived, especially from members of the
theatrical business and patrons of the
Loew theatres. ! hope ! have made II
clear that this financing is the result of
interest in the Loew enterprises and
the possibilities OF the motion picture
business on the part of a number of
individual bankers and their associates"

FIDEIIS RIESTER

What Wheeling is today she owes
very largely to the men Of courage. wis
dom and foresight who believed in and
planned her future a half century ago.
Among this admirable group stood FL
delis Riester. who. after having ex-
ceeded the allotted three score and ten,
passed from our midst yesterday. Mr..
Riester. although not born in Wheeling,
was truly representative Of the best
Wheeling and American citizenship. In
his half century Of active business life
here he built UP an enviable reputation
for those qualities that go to make the
ideal man and business associate. In
swerving in his convictions on vital
subjects, he was always just and con-
siderate. and Of him II could be said
With absolute truth that his word was
as good as his bond. Wheeling admired
and honored him while living. Now that
he is dead. the city sincerely regrets his
loss.
