dryeSt weather of the year, the rail
road strike continually growing worse,
prospects poor for an adequate coal
supply, grain prices dropping, famine
in Russia and China, and unsettled

shine after every storm. There is a
solution for every problem and the
souls highest duty is to be of good
cheer"

l. In writing Of his trip to the Ma
tional Editorial meeting at Missoula,
| Mont, Geo. E. Schlosser of the Wes-
sington Springs Republican, tells of a
meeting with G.. F.. Murphy, brother
of w. H. Murphy of this city, as fol
lows:
Before we leave Anaconda permit
the writer to give his pleasure at
meeting an early resident of South
Dakota, a native of Brookings county,
c.. F. Murphy whose Dakota home
was at Elkton and where his parents
now rest. Mr.. Murphy is the Su-
perintendent of the Anaconda Elec-
trio Railway system and it was under
his supervision hat our party was
carried over this wonderful line. 1t
was surely a delight to meet a man
of Mr.. Murphy's standing who re-
calls the pioneer days spent in this
state with much pleasure and still
calls this state his home. He asked
about a great many citizens and for
tunately we were able to repeat his
tory that proved interesting to him.
Years e a South Dakotan had .oc-
casion to side-step his identity be-
cause of unfavorable conditions and
political remorse, but this is not the
case in recent years and it makes a
fellow swell up with pride when he
finds a fellow statesman making good
in his business.
