Pierre (Capital, 1: A reportar fl( the
Capital yeeterday called upon tbe gov
ernor and plied him with a few quee
tions of general intereat to the people
throughout, the state. The anawera to
the queries show that the governor
head ia level on all topics of general im
port. Following ia the governor's re
marks to our queatiuna:
"We notice that you haw ratom»d to
the 10 per cent, reserve of the relief
fund. You do not, then, anticipate that
any part of the state will require help
from abroad this year, do you?"
"1 certainly hope the state cm B#®et
any demands for ralief that may come
from any section. It will hava to be
done by voluntary contributions, how
ever. In caae of necessity, the people of
the state will be aaked to aaaiat. W hen
the return of money waa decided upon, a
month ago, it looked aa if the crops
would be heavy in every aeotion sine*
then some locations have Buffered quite
severely The districts affected, how
ever, are small compared with last year
I may say, however, that the full appor
tkmment waa paid to every section that
ia now suffering. It waa money belong
ing to oountiea that did not need it that
waa refunded."
What are the proepecta for immigra
tioti to South Dakota in the Mar future,
and will the admisaion of the states to
the west of us tend to divert home^eek
from our landa to th iraf"
•The tide of immigration will 01* in
to Bouth Dakota this year and next to
exceed anything in the past. The
drouth in the south and southwest will
turn it to ua. The opening of the new
state west will greativ assist in popula
ting our state, of imum, by adiM(i*ng
our reaouroea."*
"What your opinion of the future
Missouri rivar navigation in South Ia
kota, witil regard to Bettiement and
traffic?"
"1 think the Misaowrt river ought to
be utilized to the great benefit of both.
"Do you think artesian irrigation will
prove a remedy for our occasional
droutha, and if ao, what parts of the
state can be benefited by it?"
"Yea, the entire portion of the Mate
eaat of the Missouri, except the Sioux
valley, on the eaat side of the state,
about aeventy five miles wide, which has
a system of lakes that, but for the dram
upon them from the west, are abundant
to meet the demands of their section. 1
think the country of the Jim and Mia
aouri should sink wells and fill up their
dry lake beds. Farmers, too, oan uae
wells with profit The supply is i»ex
haustable and the water lies aa near the
surface as it could safely
What effect will the extraordinary
development which this summer is wit
nessing in the mining industries c€ the
Black Hills have on the balanos of the
state?"
"It will bs ffBBi teolor in settling
and ileY?lopoig the rest of the state,both
by increasing the wealth of the stat*»
and advertising her resources and
making a home market for her products.
Thm effect will be felt next year to
wonderful extent."
"What ought the telMn to do in the
district suffering with drouth?1*
They ought to get some stodk, 4
eepeciaily. If they can't btiy, they
ought to hire. The loan companies in
te rested in their land oan well afford to
Htipply them It would prove a profit

"What is the character of the govern

Ieadwiod diapatch. 1. The Pioneer
has an mtereeting writs-up of tfee lilack
Hills this week. The Hills, it says, form
an enormous island of lofty peaks, tower
ing flummita and elevated plateau* up
lifted by volcanic action
front
of
of
the
roiling
western South Dakota The
entire region is drained by the big
Cheyenne river and its numeroos tribu
taries, every ravine and cany act in the
Hills having a swift mountain torrent of
oiear cold water dashing down through
it on its way to mingle with tha muddy
waters
the Cheyenne. For oountless
years these streams have been cutting
their channel* deeper and deeper, until
in many places they are ovsr 1,00( feet
in depth, forming canyons of surpassing
grandeur. In the limestone ranges of
the northern and western bill* the
sewn cry ia ruggeT and grand to the
extreme, surpassing any other portion of
the hills.
Harney Peak ia situated in the south
ern jmrt of Pennington county, near Hill
City, and lifts its rocky crest- 8,900 feet
above the sea level. The asoettt of the
mountain is well repaid by tha view to
be had from the summit, this being the
loftieet peak in the Black Hills. Terry's
Peak, six miles southwest of Deed wood,
is the crowning elevation in tha northern
hills lifting its crest far above ail sur
rounding peaks it reaches an altitude of
7,233 feet. On the top of it is a locating
monument, erected by the United
States engineer, who conducted the geo
graphical survey in the Hilk fifteen
years ago. From this height the whole
Black Hills region is spread oat before
the observer like a panorama. As far
aa the eye can reach to the south, south
east and southwest, it takes ia a scene
of surpassing loveliness. Beautiful
green parks interspersed with groves of
coniferous trees, rugged mountain crags,
towering high above, and nartow wind
ing ravines with precipitous walla, in
which bright gleams of Hashing moun
tain torrents can occasionally seen.
T« the wutbeasU*bout Ave miles distant,
Custer Peak nse# the form of a perfect
oone to a height of 7,000 feet. With a
good field-glass the flag staff erected oa
its summit in 1875 can be distinctly
eeen. Bald mountain. Green mountain,
('rook's tower, Brown buttea, Black
buttee and Crow peak are all in aighti
ranging in height from tt,UOO to 7,300 feet.
To the mirth, northwest and northeast
the prairies of Wyoming and South Da
kota can be seen with many outlaying
foothdis and buttee, Bear butte, the
moat prominent, neea in the form of a
truncated cone 35 miles to Use northeast.
It rises to a height of 1,'300 feet above
the surrounding plain and forms an in

Several natural oaves of great extent
bare been found in the Hilla, the Wind
Cave, located twelve miles north of Hot
Springs, having been explored a distance
of over ten milea without finding th»» end.
Within a abort distance of Dea»w»»od
are several very fine crystal well
worthy a visit, many beautiful specimens
of crystal having been obtained from
them.

the Bpeartiah river, aboit ten milea
southwest of Deadwood. l%ia fall is
sixty feet in height the river plunging
over a perpendicular ledge into a pool
below. White wood Falls, three miles
from Deadwood, ia also worthy of a visit,
the canyon at this point being very
rugged and grand.

A meritorious cause needs no sophistry,
no prevarication, founied in right its

falsehood, fraud or deception to bolster
it up. But a cauae having no merit in

Huron
so wanton as to challenge a parallel
from any source claiming respectability,
but wags her slanderous tongue against
a targe portion of the territory of the
state. 111
at if nh^ to be tjelieved, is such
a worthless waste that the people should
nss up and denounce every citixen of the
siaU« who labored to havs it opened for
settlemmit. "Nay amrs, our representa
tives in congress, who mud for the ap
pmpnations necessary to obtain such
worthies*) larnls oa which to lure honest
settlers from other states anil countries
of this continent, and the land beyond
the seas, should be driven in disgrace
from public life, and thehomss of honest
people shut against them. if the lands
beyond the Missouri are worthless tor
homes and farma, what is the govern
»rc not valiittMc for agn.-uHurHi
purposes, and only tit for stock raising,
why has congreee with the reports of its
special agents before it provided by law
that none but actual settlors oan have
it, and only one quarter section at that,
and that the settlers must live on it five
years and then pay one dollar and a
quarter an acre for it? Does anybody
lielieve our national government haa
gone into a grand conftdeaoe game in
real estate in which the people of Pierre
and the Black Hills are flaying the part
of "bunco stoererw?" If it had not been
known that theee lands were good for
agricultural purposes would not the
government have been likely to know it
and provided for selling several quarter
sections to each purchaser so that it
could be used for stock raising to aa ad
vantage?
The facts are that in the faee of Mis
last chance for Huron's real estate boom
ers, to aave themselves, and the city se
cure existence from the public crib, a
malicious desperation has siessd upon
the capital advocates, that has burst all
considerate bounds and culminated in a
phenomenal craze of unbluahing false
hood, that would put the commonest
kind of common fairness to shame. Legi
timate salaries to thoee employed in pre
senting whatever claims Huron has to
the people is proper, but bribery of votes
is not To persuade a man that he
should vote for Huron is legitimate but
to buy his vote is no better than horse
stealing or safe blowing. To persuade
whole communities that Huron should
become the permanent capital is legti
mate work, but to attempt to buy with
hard cash the whole vote of an entire
town or city, is a piracy upon the Amen
oan system of manhood government and
an effort to debauch and demoralise
voters that shoukl consign to everlast
iu« infamy all engaged in it tha cause
that for want of merit resorts to suoh
means cannot hope to win.
