BODY OF MURDERED CHINA
MAN GOES HOME TO REST

The Chinaman is peculiar. Brete
Harte averred as much. A short
time ago a Chinese laundryman,
one On Tai, was found murdered
in his place Of business in Rapid
City. The coroner guessed that
the crime was committed with
some blunt instrument, possibly a
hammer. There was a hole in On
Tai's head that would indicate as
much. More than that, however,
the authorities have ventured no
guess. A motive for the crime is
even still mystery. It may have
been robbery. It may have been
the elimination Of some. fued.
Thugs crouching low around a
campfire on some lonely road in
Mongolia may have cast lots to
determine the assassin of On Tai.
And he, who drew the "black spot"
may have traversed many long
miles across the Pacific and part
of two continents to slay this hum

NORTH DAKOTA NOT
THE SUNSHINE STATE

Appropos to the discussion about
the relations of North Dakota and
South Dakota, South Dakota has
real grievance in the appropria-
tion Of the immigration depart
ment of North Dakota Of our sob
riquet,: The Sunshine State said
Doane Robinson, state historian
recently.
In the first year of statehood,
Mrs. S. v. Arnold, of Ipswich, pro-
posed this nickname and it was by
common consent enthusiastically
adopted, and generally used by the
press and public. When the state
flag was provided for by law
(Chaptere 800 laws of 1909 the
nickname was officially fixed by
law. Recenetly the immigration
department Of North Dakota has
gotten out a series of publica-
tions entitled North Dakota the
Sunshine State, the Food Basket
of the World" which South Dako-
ia deems an Infringement of her
rights. 3"

HOW TO STICK THE KNIFE IN
YOUR HOME TOWN

Buy from peddlers as much and
as often as possible.
Denounce your merchants be-
cause they make a profit on their
goods.
Glory in the downfall Of a man
who has done much to build your
town.
Make your town out bad place
and stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme
for the betterment of the material
interests of the people.
Tell your merchant you can get
goods a great deal cheaper in
some other town and charge him
with extortion. If a stranger
comes to your town, tell him
everything is overdone and predict
a general crash in the near future.
Patronize outside newspapers to
the exclusion of your own and
then denounce yours for not being
as large and as cheap as the city
papers.
If you are merchant, don't ad-
vertise in the home paper, but
compel the editor to go elsewhere
for advertisement, and howl like q
sore head because he does SO. Buy
rubber stamp and use it. 1t may
save you a few dimes and make
your letter-heads look as though
you were doing business in one
horse town.
If you are farmer, curse the
place where you trade as the
meanest on earth. Talk this over
with your neighbors and tell them
the men are robbers and thieves. :.
1t will make your property much
less valuable, but you don't care.

WHY is HAAKON COUNTY
LAND CHEAP?

why is Haakon County lane
cheap? We frequently hear thu
question asked, but not so fre
quently answered. The Depart
ment Of immigration has recently
answered the question in a rather
definite manner. Here is the an
swer given:
why is western South Dakota
land cheap?
Now, why are we selling silver
dollars for fifty cents apiece?
IF a treasure ship, carrying a
million silver dollars were wrecked
on an uninhabited island in the
Pacific ocean, and ten people gain
ed the shore and afterwards re-
scued the coin and divided it e.
qually, the purchasing power of
that money would be little or
nothing because there would be
so much Of it in proportion sso, any
exchanageable commodities, md in
proportion to the number iihabit-
ants. 1t would be almost 4 negig-
ible factor in the economics of the
new community.
THE countries west of the river
have a superabundance of land in
proportion to the population. Us
the government census figures for
the number of farms in each CO.
unity, we find that Stanley and
Harding counties have one farm
to each three sections of land;
Butte, Meade, Jackson, Haakon and
Jones counties have one farm to
about two sections Of land, and
Perkins and Lyman counties aver
age almost two sections to every
farm.
Using the 1920 census statistics
we find that the rural population
Of the west river country is, as
yet, only fraction over two to
the square mile.
mo wonder land is cheap; but
it will never be cheaper. Now is
the time to get your share of the
earth and it's fullness.
"The development Of the west
ern part of the state will follow
the same lines as the eastern part,
and those who are we'll informed
believe that the west-river country
will ultimately rival, if not sur
pass, the remarkable prosperity of
the older half of the state.

deceased Chinaman are not ours.
The European or American can
lie down and take his final rest,
and wait TRANQUILITY for the rous-
ing blast from Gabriel's horn, in
almost any grave under almost
any sky.
Not so with the Chinaman. If
his body is not returned to the
land of his birth and placed among
the tombs of his ancestors, there
is no peaceful rest for his soul.
And it is so with On Tai. He left
some little estate, and his admin
istrator has just started the body
of the deceased laundryman on a
long journey to a peaceful resting
place in the Land Of the Rising
Sun. 1t was shipped fros Rapid
City to Canton, there to be con-
veyed several hundred miles into
the interior. But in the end On
Tai's daily prayer shall be answer
ed. Finally he shall lie down for
his last, long sleep among his an
cestors Of possibly a hundred gen.
erations. Death came to him brut-
ally in an alien land, but he shall
not be denied rest at Home.

Haak0n County May Expend $500
Agricultural Extension Work

Counties containing thirteen or
less congressional townships can
appropriate not to exceed $4,000
for agricultural extension work,
while counties with more than
that number can appropriate S100
for each congressional district
according to a recent opinion of
E. D. Roberts assistant attorney
general. This opinion was written
at the request Of C. c. Juckett the
states attorney of Bon Homme
county, who asked for An interpre-
tation Of section 1856 of the re-
vised code over which there has
been some dispute. Under the in
depreciation, Bon Homme county
which contains but 16 congressio-
nal townships can. appropriate but
$1,000, while Haakon county with
fifty-five such townships could ap-
propriate $500.

BAD LANDS MAY BE-

who is in the government biologi.
cal department. He comes here es.
pecially to look after the exter-
mination Of troublesome animals
apd insects. He has been given an
office in the Federal building, and
is here to remain.
Some time ago, the Journal was
infromed Mr.. Knowles was dele
gated by the government to make
an examination Of the Bad Lands
located in the eastern part of this
county and report to the govern
ment as to their extent, impor-
ance, and the feasibility of desig-
mating them as a National park,
Mr.. Knowles made his report to
the effect that the Bad Lands of
that vicinity comprise the largest
and most wonderful Bad Lands
anywhere in the United States and
recommended that they be set off
as a National Park. A copy of
this report was turned in to the
Rapid City Commercial Club.
