If the people and newspapers of the Hills would give more attention to the development of the resources of their re spective localities by encouraging every meritorious enterprise, and devote less time and space to decrying industries which do not directly benefit them in a pecuniary way, the country would grow in wealth and population at a more rapid rate than it is growing at present. Cap italists coming, amongst us looking for opportunities to secure reasonable re turns on investments would have unlim ited confidence in the future of the Hills. In unity there is strength, and if the six counties covering the mineral region of South Dakota will work in unison upon all public questions or local enterprises the Hills would soon be recognized as a young giant commercially, intellectually and politically. Drop these petty, local quarrels, display less jealousy if your neighbor meets with good luck or if a sister town enjoys a little prosperity that does not extend to your city. Let us pull together. The Bapid City Repub lican touches this point in the following article in speaking of the closing down of the smelter at Dead wood: "The Republican will not be a party to a newspaper discussion over the mer its or demerits of the Black Hills indus tries. It is not within the sphere of jour nalism to attempt to blackmail or cast unfair insinuations about smelters, rail roads, etc. The success of the Dead wood smelter, if Prof. Carpenter's word be true, and it always has been highly respected, will not admit of a doubt. The fact that it closed down recently should not be the signal for casting asperations against an institution primarily intended for experimental purposes, but recently accepted by unbiased people as a practi cal success. Time will prove that this temporary cessation of operations is a forerunner of still greater things. The Republican has grounds for ipaking the statement, and no matter how Deawood papers may treat Rapid City, its course of action will be to uphold anything that is good in the Hills, no matter where lo cated." That is right. THE SIOUY CITT CORN PALACE. The Sioux City corn palace is a palace covered and embellished, as with tapestry outside and inside, with pro ducts of the field, corn predominating, ingeniously and fancifully arranged. In building the palace a large struct ure is first erected of lumber, of a shape that will carry and show to advantage the multiform deoorations with which it is to be adorned. It is in form lofty with broken lines, pinnacles, buttresses, bridges, gables, ornamental windows, etc. Over every inch of this wooden sur face are laid corn and kindred plants in architectural harmony in a multiplicity of designs. The corn is employed in the stalk, the ear, the kernel, and even the husk has its decorative uses. All the grains and grasses of the field lend themselves to the beautifying of the pal ace. The walls are covered on the out side with ears of corn, cut lengthwise or or crosswise, and nailed on in geomet rical figures or other designs. The var ious colors of the cereal permit of a wide range of shading and coloring, while its artistic possibilities, developed from year to year in building the palace, admit of the production of effects that are as startling as, pleasurable. High over the entrance of the palace of 1889 was king corn's crown as the nucleus of a sunburst, while below was the national flag in graceful folds all wrought in vary-colored corn as true and as beautiful as if painted by an artist's brush. The roof is overlaid with corn leaves. Pinnacles and columns are capped with the sorghum plant, or with grains and grasses. The iridescent walls, seen from a distance, seems to be rich mosaic of polished woods, while with the "Banners, yellow, glorious, goldao," that J. W. WEEKS. Vice President, "From its roof-tree float and How," the palace enraptures the beholder as one who looks upon a cloud-painted mansion that may dissolve before his eyes. The interior work is finer and more elaborate. Here the kernel of the corn is largely employed, producing amazing and lovely effects. On the walls are wrought pictures, illustrating farm scenes, legendary and nursery tales, etc., with a fidelity that is calculated to raise a doubt that the material employed is the homely utilitarian growth of western farms. Frescoes and flowers, figures of persons and animals, draperies and thousands of surprising and beautiful things are made of field plants for the delight of the visitors to the palace, whose astonishment is succeeded by ad miration of the genius that conceived and developed so much of art and beauty from each homely fabrias as a«*»r-em ployed. y The palace will open October 1 and continue until the 17th. Meade county must have a display .!» there. of ber VOLUME V.—NUMBER STUBQIS—BLACK HILLS—SOUTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3,1891. $2 PER ANNUM Judge Tripp emphatically declines to be a candidate for congress on the dem ocratic ticket—or any other, The republican statecentral committee will meet at Huron on the 8th inst. to fix a date for holding the 'state convention to nominate a candidate for congress. The democratic and independent chair men have not called their committees to gether as yet. The governor has issued a proclamation calling an election to eleet a congress man to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. John R. Gamble, and has fixed the date on Tuesday, November 3. He calls special attention to the Austral ian ballot law. Hon. W. I. Converse was found hang ing in his barn last Saturday morning. From appearances he $ad been dead a day or two. Mr. Converse represented Jerauld county in the legislature of 1889 90 as a republican. He was re-elected by the independents and served in the session of 1891. Mr. Converse was one of the brightest and most promising young men of the state. Financial em barrassment, ooupled with ill health, is supposed to be the cause. Herald to From the Hot Springs Daily we learn that Col. Thornby is going make a tour of the Hills to collect sam ples of minerals, buildifig stone, eto., for a display at the cord palace. Meade county should not overlook the opportu nity to be represented in this wise if she does not desire to go it alone. This will be the cheapest and probably the most effectual way for us to make an exhibit. If this plan is not acceptable, adopt an other scheme to make a showing of our resources. Meade coqaty must have an exhibit at all events. A large number of exchanges from the eastern part of the state favor the selec tion of the congressman from the Black Hills, and if the Hills people expect to get one of their men nominated they must work with that end in view. At present entirely too many are aspiring for the position. The fight in Deadwood appears to be between Star and Washabaugh, the former a little in the lead, but as there is some talk of the other five Hills counties combining against Lawrence the result as to who will secure the Hills del egation can not be foreshadowed. Labor day at Whitewood Tneftfay would have been a successful oelebratioa if the rain had riot spoiled the program. The Whitewood people had everything in excellent shape to entertain the crowd, and it is no fault of theirs that the picnic was no greater success. As bad as the weather was, there were over 3,000 peo ple in attendance, the greater portion of whom listened to the addressee of Col. Steele of Deadwood and Senator Kyle. The colonel made a pleasant speech, han dling the labor question in a masterly manner without going into politics. The remarks of the senator were made almost wholly from an independent stand point. He spoke of the imaginary abuses of the farmers and laboring classes, but offered no remedy for their relief further than outlined in the national platform of the alliance party. Personally, Senator Kyle is a fine gentleman, but politically he is off. A Creamery. Hank Carpenter took advantage of his visit east to interest some capitalists an industry that will prove to be a great benefit to the farmers in the country tributary to Sturgis. The enterprise Mr. Carpenter is pushing is a creamery, of sufficient capacity to consume the product of at least 500 cov^ to begin with. He investigated the matter in de tail in the largest butter and cheese mak ing districts in Ohio and learned among other things that a cow valued at 825 will pay for herself every twelve months in the sale of her milk. Regular routes will be established and the milk collect ed from the door of the ranchman once a day, thus relieving him from any trouble in delivering the milk to the factory. Farmers should give this enterprise im mediate assistance by increasing their number of milch cows, thus guarantee inga continual supply of pure, fresh milk to keep the factory steadily em ployed. Mr. Carpenter has experienced men associated with him in this under taking, and as soon as he is assured that no difficulty will be experienced in get ting the milk the factory will be built, This will make a cash market for milk and butter the year around, and every one should assist in getting this indus try established at the earliest possible day.
