There is so m^cfr prosperity in South
Dakota that many of its newspaper men
have accumulated fortunes or laid the
foundation for tbemX, All seem to be
doing well. Most of them are in inde
pendent situations,
In one town of less than' 4,000 popula
tion, which the writer recently visited,
the editor of its leading weeklythere
is no daily paper in the placeis worth
by common repute $25,000 or $30,000.
Less than a- dozen years ago he pur
chased his paper and plant for about
$5,000. His material, type and machin
ery are the best to be-found. He owns
his office building, which was erected in
accordance with his 6w,n -plans and, as
might be supposed, it is almost a model.
He lives in a new and expensive resi
dence, which has all the conveniences of
the niodera city home. His men are
risked all the time and his paper is
filled with paid matteir. "Besides, he is
postmaster. The ordinary newspaper
nob in the cities does hot appeal*to this
editor.
&
&&2
Another publisher. i'n:- South Dakota
who has made $20,000 in rtne last ten
years started out with next to nothing
fresh from the state agricultural school
where he helped pay his expenses by
working at odd spells on the college
farm at 10 cents an hour: He entered
the newspaper business, so far as South
Dakota is concerned, at the psychologi
cal moment, and has been getting ahead
ever since. Now he has the best plant
in his part of the state.
These two publishers are not in the
best towns of the state and are not do
ing the business and, haven't the in
comes of publishers in such towns as
Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Huron and Mit
chell. In the cities of the first class
some of the finest printing establish
ments to be found in the country any
where, have been built up and have
made their owners rich.
Many small towns have papers which
are mechanically as neat and editorial
ly as able and satisfactory as the papers
in the.larger fields. An editor in a town
of only a few hundred population told
me that his paper netted him $1,300 last
year, and in the course of the conver
sation I learned that he had 750 acres
of land arid no debts to speak of. This
editor, of course, is rich, tho I doubt
if he has ever stopped to think of it in
that light. His town is near two larg
er ones from which he secures some ad
vertising, so that he may have a little
advantage over his brother whose loca
tion is similar in size.
But the editor who has perhaps made
the most money in the shortest time is
H. L. Hopkins of Watmbwn, who" left
the tripod a few years ago to engage
in the land business. Mr. Hopkins had
an unpromising newspaper field at
Henry Codington/ equnty, and it is
suspected he developed his latent busi
ness judgment and acumen by figuring
so many years upon how to make both
ends of his newspaper business meet.
Today he is said to be worth $100,000,
and to be piling up more right along.
His land-selling experience has been a
success from the start, but he made his
killing'' by having the nerve to load
up with South Dakota acres and hang
ing to them like grim death until the
movement from the east begun. Since
then it has been easy, and the money
has just rolled in.
This story of prosperity is the same
all over the state. There may yet be
a few too many papers, but as a gen
eral thing the field is not overdone and
publishing is on a solid basis. There
are some printing plants that annually
return to their owners: an income that
approximates two-thirdsor more of the
valuation placed upon such plants. Few
other lines of business,ean equal this,-

In correspondence fBom^ Watertown'I
gave some space toy local reports that
the state delegation.at Washington had
pledged itself to a-candidate ior the
postmastership who: seemed to be ob
jectionable to many-citizens. It was
said that the "insurgentsV were try
ing to make the most of" the situation.
Now comes the editor of Public Opinion
and says that every member ..of the
delegation has assured him thjat the
man to be recommended for postmas
ter will be the one who seems to be
satisfactory to the citizens of Water
town, and that the appointment will in
no way be dictated. This certainly
ought to ease the troubled minds-of

surgents." v-,
Public Opinion, has it that The

These figures were used in a poll made
by one of the best-known and ablest*
"insurgents" in the state and were
taken by him from-figures made by a
contributor to the Argus-Leader. The
"insurgent" leader then went on to
claim enough other counties to assure
control of the^ convention,. As Public

DEER HOLD UP TRAIN
Herd Delays Freight on Copper Eange
Railroad.
HOUGHTON. .MIOH.A herd of thirteen deer
held up a freight train on the Copper Range
railroad for half an hour, tblrty-flve miles south
of here. The deer evidently had been fright
ened from the woods by wolves. They clustered
on the- track and gave no heed to the approach
ing train.
Trainmen started to "shoo" the animals off
the track, hut instead of taking to the woods
the deer started to run down the track, and it
took some time to get the herd out of the way
so that the train could proceed. The destruc
tion of deer by wolves the past winter Is said
to have been enormous and sportsmen are plan
ning concerted action to exterminate the wolves.

Accumulations of ice on the elevated trestl*
used by the mill company in conveying power
to the flour mill caused that structure to col*
lapse. It will be several days before repairs can
be made and the mill resume operations.
Fire was discovered at the Soo drawbridge
about midnight. Prompt action saved the struc
ture from entire destruction, but it was so
weakened that the Soo trains are running over
the Omaha by way of Turtle Lake.
High water in the St. Croix river completely
covers the wagon bridge at this place. A force
of men is kept busy guarding the piers from the
ice.
