SON OF LAFE YOUNG WRITES OF
THE ROSEBUD COUNTRY.
THINKS OPENING IN OCTOBER
Iowa Newspaper Man , After a Visit to
the Rosebud , Writes of Gregory
County and of Trlpp , Soon to Open.
Drawing Method Described.
Dallas , S. I ) . , August 1. Harry
Young , nn lowu newspaper man , a
BOH of iJifo Young , thu editor of the
Den MolnoH , la. , Capital , after a per-
Bonal vlHlt to southern South Dakota ,
liaii written the following story of the
Ilnsebtid to the Capital :
Soil which almost equals that of
Iowa , a delightful climate and a suf
ficient , rainfall are making of the
country of the Sioux in South Dakota
nn agricultural paradise.
The opening of the Sioux Indian
lands Is developing them from that
of the homes of Indolent dependents
of the government to the farm resi
dences of thrifty Americans. The In
dians who have been content to live
la/lly on this fertile soil and draw
their liberal allowances will soon see
more of ( Jielr lands converted to use
ful purposes.
The Gregory county opening , which
was better known as the llonesteol
opening , was In August , 1001 , The
lands were occupied In May , 1905.
The adjoining county , Trlpp , Is to bo
opened this year , according to the
best authorities. A contrast of these
two domains show the possibilities of
the new territory , Trlpp county. Land
In Gregory county sells now for
$10 and $ GO nn acre. It sold at the
Ilonestccl opening for $1 an acre , ac
cording to the provisions of a
treaty niado with the Indians. The
Trlpp county land will bo sold subject
to the provisions of the drawing and
llllng , as required by the government
for $ fi an acre. The Trlpp county
land Is comparatively as good , If not
better than that of Gregory county.
One can drive over the range of
Trlpp county and see miles and miles
of grazing "lands and then return to
the settled farm land of her sister
county and hardly believe that three
years ago the Indian tepees were the
only residences. Yet It is true.
Gregory county embraced -ISO.OOO
acres , fifty per cent of which Is now
under cultivation. About 80,000 acres
of this was very rough land lying
along the Missouri river ; n largo
amount or about 75,000 acres Is still
unoccupied , being suited for grazing
or ranch purposes only , and which
will be sold by the government to the
highest bidder. Trlpp county has pro
portionally more good land than has
Gregory. The land to be opened In
Trlpp county embraces nearly a mil
lion acres.
There arc fourteen elevators now
In Gregory county and they have dilll-
culty In handling the grain business.
A great number of towns have been
built along the railroad , among them
are St. Charles , llerrick , Burke , Greg
ory and Dallas , which Is the terminal
point , belnt ; only a half mile from the
Trlpp county line. A number of in
land towns or trading points have
been established ten or fifteen miles
from the railroad. Among these arc
Oarlock , Dixon and Lucas. All of
these are good towns.
The farms are all well developed
and have prospered. They have ar
tcslan wells , flue houses and barns
telephones and other conveniences.
They have averaged six per cent on
the Investment for the two years they
have been worked. Winter wheat
this year yields thirty-live bushels tc
the acre and is now being harvested
Oats , corn , wheat and barley all show
good results.
Dallas , which because of its loca
tlon at the very edge of the land ti
be opened for settlement , is the mos
prominent and interesting little cltj
Founded only a little over a year age
or April 30 , 1907 , it has developed un
til it more than equals Its neighborly
cities. After a long struggle th
Chicago and Northwestern rnilroa' '
was induced to extend its line to till
point , which was done August 11
1907. All of the shipping necessar ;
to the establishment of the ne\
country's homes Is expected hero an
a large freight house is erected fo
the storage of goods which will hav
to be freighted overland to the Intel
lor sections. About four miles o
Bide track has been put in. The lar $
cst stock yard of any point on th
railroad system has been built. Th
town Itself has not been Idle durln

for so young a village arc : a $15,00
water works plant in full opcratloi

drants on every corner , chemlcr

walks and crossings on the mal
street , which has been graded fo
pavement soon to bo laid , seve
hotels and Innumerable boardln
houses and three large livery narn
working from forty to sixty team
dally. Automobile liveries will b
established before the opening an
every facility will be afforded th
lucky ones who draw to see the Ian
In Trlpp county to make their selei
tlon.
It is expected that the crowds wl
exceed that of former openings. Mor
'attention is now being paid to no
land and especially to govornmen
lands. At the Bonesteel openln
there were 140,000 persons reglstere
at the various points. It is predlcte
that a steady resident population <
at least 20,000 people will reside t
Dallas during the rush of 1908.
The following Is a brief statemei
of the procedure which will be necc
Bory to the acquiring of land , by
gentleman who is thoroughly coi
yersant with the situation , bavin
been present and In touch with the
Honestecl opening :
"IVople desiring land In Trlpp
county will be required to register at
certain points to be designated In
i proclamation to be president of the
United States. Thirty days will prob-
ibly be given for registration pur-
HmcK AH hoon as ( he registration Is
closed , the names of all those having
registered , with their postolllce ad-
Iress. will be placed on small cards
md these cards will be thoroughly
nixed In one large receptacle , when
he drawing out of these names will
icgln and will continue from day to
lay. drawing one hundred tinmen
each day. The first one hundred names
Irawn will have twenty-four hours to
select their particular sections of land
n Trlpp county In the order of their
Irnw.
"The one hundred names drawn on
he second day will be treated the
same , and so on until all the cards
ire drawn out.
"People can arrange to have local-
ng agents select their land In case
: hey make a successful draw , and
ire not required to remain personally
it registration points. This Is the
uethod likely to he followed at this
> pcnliig. In case a person makes a
successful draw , he will be given six
montihs' to take possession of his
and and will bo required to reside on
such land at least fourteen months
'rom the time he takes possession.
"At the time of filing , under the
ibove method , he Is required to pay
the government about $175 , which will
apply on his purchase of $ G per acre.
Phis Is all the expense that ho will
be put to until he is ready to prove
ip his claim , which he may do at the
end of fourteen months , or at any
time within five years. When lie
proves his claim , ho must pay the
government the price of the land ,
which Is $0 per acre , and receive his
talent. There Is no expense of reg-
slratlon , unless perhaps n notary fee
of fit ) cents.
There are many lowans residing
In Dallas. Mr. .and Mrs. L. B. Cal

SPENCER RALLIES IN SECOND
GAME , WINNING 8 TO 3.
NORFOLK USES THREE PITCHERS
Playing In Reversed Form Norfolk
Loses .Game .To .Spencer , .Fast
Bunch From the North Securing
Earned Victory Eight Hits a Piece.
Spencer 8 , Norfolk 3.
Strengthened In their pitching de
partment and aided by the sky-ward
tendency of the Norfolk ball pounders ,
Spencer swept the Norfolk ball team
off the field in the second game of the
Thursday and Friday series , regaining
the laurels lost the afternoon previous
when Norfolk galloped over the
home plate four scores to the good
while Spencer was Introduced to a
shut-out , one thing by the way with
which the north state team Is not on
particularly Intimate terms.
A critical examination of the game
shows that each nine scored eight
hits. Ten Spencerites were struck
out by Norfolk pitchers , eight Norfolk
batters were sacrificed to Spencer
curves. But however the statistics of
the game figure out , Spencer won by
an easy margin
Norfolk errors were damaging and
Norfolk was on the whole weak
where she Is usually strong in the
pitcher's box. Three men were sent
In. Klrkland opened the game and
threw live Innings. Klrkland was
struck a vicious blow by a pitched
ball In one of the Indian games and
has not as yet entirely recovered.
Bovee , who did such splendid work
the day before , went In for two In
nings But the nine innings the day
before told and he retired. Husk , who
makes no pitching pretensions , hand
led the ball the last two Innings.
Norfolk played off. Spcnctv played
the game which has won victory In
the north state country and which has
made opposing teams anxious to call
attention to the fact that Spencer ha ?
an all-professional team. Fourteen
Spencer players assisted in put-outs ,
seven Norfolk players.
Biinnell , the Spencer pitcher ,
was a great twirler and most of the
Spencer men were heavy hitters
Walling made the first hit of the
game , bringing in two scores in the
first inning.
South made the first score for Nor
folk.
In the fifth Inning a Spencer man
fell from seat at the top of the grand
stand down two rows of seats , throwIng -
Ing out his arms and running his
hand part way through S. G. Mayer's
hat. Yes there was a great deal of
enthusiasm manifested during the
game. And there was a good attend
ance of fans.
Rusk made a nice two base hit in
the eighth. Marcus Reynolds made
a pretty running catch In the second
inning.
Norfolk used Wilson behind the bat
again.

The Farmer's Grief.
Out In the country where the man
who feeds the multitude tolls In the
sweat of his brow , these are strenuous
days. It Is true that his arc the
scenes of the shady lanes , of varie
gated wild flowers and breezes laden
with the fragrance of new mown hay
uul of tlie green fields that absorb
the heat and temper the glare of a
pitiless sun ; but what reck the farmer
if all this when the wheel of his
binder sinks deep Into the oozy soil ,
joft from heavy rains , and he has to
iso jack screws to release It ; when
his oit ; field weighted with a beautl-
'ul yield of grain Is crumpling earth
ward with rust and a day's delay In
cutting means loss of crop.
'I hen there Is alfalfa , clover and liny
to cut and stack between showers ;
and with the skies threatening and
forty acres laid lo the rope on the
stacker breaks and a man must be
dispatched to town for repairs and
operations must , meanwhile bo sus
pended.
This Is the life of the man who
feeds the millions who , each recurr
ing year performs anew the miracle
of the loaves and fishes. Solomon says
that he who regards the wind shall not
sew. Also he says that there Is n
time to reap and in Nebraska that
time is Infinitesimal usuall limited
so that n single day's delay In reap
ing may mean the loss of a bountiful
harvest.

CANDIDATE STANTON OFFERS
HAS FARMER'S ' VIEWPOINT.
WAS WORKING IN BROILING SUN
A Broad-Guaged , Fair-Minded Man ,
Say Those Who Know Him And
Would Be as Much at Home in the
Senate as In the Hay Field.
Stanton , Neb. , Aug. 1. From a
staff correspondent : R. Y. Appleby ,
Stanton county's candidate for the
Republican nomination as senator
from the Eleventh district , Is a far
mer. He is the kind of a farmer who
works out in the broiling sun. A
News man found Mr. Appleby out In
the hay field one day this week , put
ting up hay. He was working out In
the field under the broiling sun that
wilted humanity at large. Mr. Apple
by owns a farm near the edge of
town and Is operating the place him
self.
It is with the farmer's viewpoint ,
therefore , that Mr. Appleby will go
to the Nebraska legislature if nomin
ated by the Republicans and elected
by the voters of the Eleventh district.
And a farmer senator this district has
not possessed for many and many a
session.
Mr. Appleby is considered by those
who know him best as a broad-guaged ,
fair-minded man. Unusual tributes and
sincere ones are paid him by friends
and neighbors who could have no mo
tive for giving him praise that they
did not think he deserved.
"Bob Appleby is eminently a fair
man , " said one prominent Stanton
business man. "Fairness in all things
has always marked every transaction
that I have known Mr. Appleby to
make. He is fair even to his own
disadvantage at times. And I am
satisfied that if he were sent to Lln >
coin as state senator , he would use
his best judgment and then vote foi
just exactly what he thought was
right. The Eleventh district can de
pend upon him to exercise the keen
est of judgment and to vote consclen
tiously according to his idea as tc
what was right. And he would be fait
above all things. "
"I have known Bob Appleby for
twenty-two years , " said a prominent
German business man of Stanton.
"And in all that time I have never
heard of one thing wrong that he
ever was even accused of. I have
"
learned to know that his 'yes' ' moans
yes and his 'no' moans no. You can
depend absolutely upon what he says. "
Mr. Appleby holds the respect of
his townsmen. He has the good will
of most of them. They respect his
common sense. They respect his In
tegrity and his fair-mindedness. They
say ho would bo as much at homo in
the state senate as In the hay field.
"BRADLEY AND WILSON" WILL

Dallas Wants a Carload.
Dallas , S. D. , the Rosebud town at
the terminal of the Northwestern in
Gregory county , has ordered a car of
artificial Ice a week. "Are you ready
to make artificial Ice In Norfalk ? "
asked Dallas. "Then send us a car
a week , " sad Dallas.
Local patronage , the new ice com
pany says , Is to be given first atten
tion.
Artificial ice has become a reality
In Norfolk. Behind the electric light
nlnnt a building -12xlS , has been
erected. The plant will produce ten
tons of distilled water Ice every
twenty-four hours. The artificial
freezing of water Is a complicated
process. Ammonia brine Is kept In
a tank and the chemicals of the air
and the ammonia gas operate in such
a way as to extract the heat from the
water. Then the liquid condenses and
forms clear crystalline ice. The
power of the Norfolk Pure Ice com
pany is furnished by a motor wired
to the electric light plant. Ice can
be made the year around and the
owners expect to run it at full capa
