Some Women Going.
Among the Sioux City people wh
will go to Bonesteel will bo a larg
number of older working women
probably ono hundred or more. Fe\
young women arc taking an intcres
In the Uosobnd opening. The Cherokee -
keo opening In Oklahoma a few year
ago attracted hundreds of young wi
men to the territory , many of when

them. As land has increased In vain
there , they have become Independent
but the same spirit of enterprise niu
adventure has not been manlfostoc
by Sioux City working girls. Only
few have applied at the ticket otllce
for Information or oxpresed an li

South Dakota.
While Yankton is nearer Sioux Cit
than either of the other points deslg

men have expressed their Intention
of registering.
A veteran conductor , who Is draw
Ing a good salary , believes that a
farm In South Dakota will some day
be a paradise , and he will register.
The Sioux City Traction company
will have a small delegation at the
opening , and ono or two dry goods

will need a few days' vacation to at

real estate agents and loan agents of
Sioux City will bo represented. No
doctors have yet made much inquiry
and lawyers will go there after the
country is opened and settled.
Discounting the maximum estimate
of tno number that will go from Sioux

they arc planning to handle from

from other points , east , south and

foundation for a bank account by the
end of the year. And wages have not
Increased. The tendency has been
in the other direction.
The greatest advance Is In food
stuffs. Other than the table supplies
the cost is no more , although a long
