Kimball, S I)
If ihe (iit.\riiic and the writer of
these lines did not lielieve that it was
lor the convenience and the financial
interests of all of Brule county and
Kimball to place the capital of South
Dakota at Mitchcll no sum within the
bounds of reason would ever have
tempted the one to have taken the
position it has in the matter nor in
duced the other to take charge of the
press bureau lor that city in the con
test of eighteen months now about to
he submitted to the final arbitration
at the polls.
We believe that the constituncv
of the CiiAniK' believe this, for in
its twenty-t wo year's of life it has
never betrayed them for pelf and it
goes without saying that the whilrigig
of time has demonstrated that on all
great questions that have come be
fore. the people of this state of a non
partisn nature events have justified
the position it has taken.
In I.S00 and in 1S!I0 the (JK.UMIIC op
posed placing the capital at Pierre for
the very reasons that have in the past
fourteen years proven true, but in so
doing the matter of self interest to
Kimball or llrule county cut no figure,
for as between Huron and Pierre
there could not be such choice so far
as affecting the convenience or linan
cial interests of our people. It merely
seemed to us that JIuron would al
ways be near the center of population
and with this and its better railroad
facilities be more desirable in every
way for the business office of the
state.
lint dispite the lact that this opin
ion was shared and advocated by all
the other newspapers in the county
the $5,000 that Pierre put into the
county in the campaign more thao
offset it at the polls and on top of it
there were many honest men com
pletely carried away and mislead by
Pierre's rainbow pictures of its future
and the country to the west of it.
To day, in this the voar of low, the
peoplu Have their eyes open. After
fourteen years experience with the
capital at the geographical center of
Pukwana, of Chamberlain or a farm
er or land owner in Brule county can
point to a single benefit to him that
has come from it. The promised rail.
road to the Black Hills from Pierre
and one from Uismark via Pierre to
Yankton, running through Brule,
county, all of which was to give
market in the Black Hills to the pro
duels of the Brule county farms and
return us coal at a ton, has proved
a myth—as has every single promise
and prediction made by Pierre in the
campaign which blinded the eyes of
the voters.
Not only has Pierre failed to make
good so far as advancing '.the material
interests of Brule county goes but she
has utterly failed to hold her own
ground. She has degenerated and
grown down iike a cow's tail every
year and is today a third less town in
population and wealth than when the
capital was given her fourteen years
ago. ITer street railway has been
torn np, the ties burned for fuel, the
rails sold to scrapiron buyers and the
mule that pulled it years ago gather
ed to his lathers. The Hour mill has
stood idle for six years for want of
wheat to operate it, the Presbyterian
college has been removed to Huron
and people have moved away and left
their property to the tax gatherer.
The two sections of school land lying
adjacent to Pierre which were to be
sold if the capital wis placed there
a a be it
the state, ire still awaiting a buyer at
$10 an acre and no railroads have been
built to or from Pierre because there
is no business to keep them alive.

How Brule County Should Vote
the state not a resident of Kimball, of the whole country and to every town
The incentives which prompted
this paper to support Huron in 1890
were increased ten-fold when the
legislature by a vote of 109 to 21 pick
ed Mitchell in place of either Huron
or Redfield for the contest next Tues
day, a feeling that should be shared
by every other property owner in
Brule county. If the capital is a
good thing to have around—on your
line of road—as the people on the
Northwestern for a hundred or more
miles east of Pierre believe and will so
vote—it appears to be
foolishness for Brule county people to
throw their own interests overboard,
and vote for a town and a railwaj# We

South Dakota is the only state in."
the Missouri river country not crossed
by a trans-continental railroad
North Dakota has three, Kansas and
Nebraska the same and the other
states south of them even better sup-
plica. It cannot always remain so.
The 0. M. & St. Paul strikes the
Missouri at three points in the state,
at Chamberlain. Gettysburg and
Evarts. The Northwestern at one,
Pierre. The latter road already has
a road into the Blauk Ilills through
Nebraska and another headed that
way as far as Bonestcel. Tt will never
build another bridge at Pierre at a
cost of $2,000,000 and extend another
line to the Ilills to compete with
itself, and for years it has had a
traffic. arrangement with the Union
Pacific from Omaha to handle its
Pacific coast business.
The only hope South Dakota people
have for connection with the Black
Hills is through the Milwaukee.
This company, however, is looking
for bigger game than the Black
Hills business and for live years has
been quietly surveying in Wyoming
and beyond and buying up terminals
on the northwest Pacific coast.
There arc two proposed routes, from
Chamberlain and from Evarts. The
people in the northern part of the
state naturally wish the line to go
from Evarts and there are those, not
ably such prominent daily newspapers
as the Aberdeen News, who hope to
see Mitchell defeated and thus kill
whatever prospect there might be for
the extension of the line from Cham
berlain.
If the capital goes to Mitchell it is a
foregone conclusion that the Milwau
kee will make good its promises to the
Black Hills and extend the line from
•Chamberlain. In fact, too much pres
sure would be brought to bear by
Mitchell and all its thousands of sup
porters over the state to permit any
other move. If Mitchell is defeated
any railroad extensions from this part
of the state will go up in the air in
definitely and Brule county will for
years to come remain as at present—
on a stub line instead of having a
trunk line and direct communication
with the Black Hills and the whole
Pacific coast country.
The benefits which would accrue to
in it: to every land owner and grower
of produce by being situated in touch
with a trans-continental line from
Chicago, through the capital of the
state (but fifty miles distant) and but
200 miles from the Black Hills and
connected with the Wyo-ning coal
fields and Pacific coast country, can
not be oyer estimated.
The Brule county property owner
lias much to gain if the capital goes
to Mitchell. He has nothing to lose
if It is removed from Pierre. If the
money thrown into Pierre by the
legislative assemblies, the state print
ing and the residence officers (or their
deputies) who have lived there does
not compensate that town lor the
$10,000 expenditure for a cheap capi
tal building fourteen years ago then
the capital is a poor thing to fight
for. It's removal may bust up a lot
of real estate sharks and grafters but
It will harm no honest man. The
original Investors pulled out long ago
after dropping their wads and what
ever sacrifices the state makes is made
good by Mitchell ten times over.
The interests of the entire state
without reference to locality will be
conseryed by placing the capital
within touch of the people who main
tain it by paying nine-tenths of the
taxes, and the welefare of Brule coun
ty and her people in particular en
hanced many fold by locating the
capital within two hour's ride of a
city at which every citizen points
with pride, which it is always a pie
sure to visit and to which the attrac
tions of a state capital will add plea
sures, enjoyments and conveniences
little dreamed of by those so many
years denied them.

forty voters or upwards to Mitchell

letters that he who runs might read

neither more nor less than this. For
