Show ' prosperity, in northwest;. 30. ) i Mitchell, South Dakota, OFFERS PEART Sept. South Dakota idea this year is to emphasize the riches of this state When it is confidently stated that this year for the sixth consecutive yeajj .South Dakota will lead all other states in the greatest per capita wealth, it can readily be understood why South Dakota is ambitious to advertise its crops and resources. The report of a fortnight ago regarding the heavy fall of snow, and damage done to the crops by frost, now appears to have been a false alarm. This is the judgment of a party of newspaper men and representatives of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Ry. who have made a trip of more than 1,200 miles through the state during he last ten days. The greatest estimate of damage that is now made by those in a position to know is, three per cent damage to corn crop of the state. In the rich agricultural section, in the valley of the Missouri River, crops appear to splendid advantage. Occasionally one finds fields where there has been perhaps too much wa ter and the crops are somewhat late, but this is the exception. The following is a conservative estl mate of the products of the state and their value for 1903: The-- AID MARCONI WOULD EQUIP EXPEDITION WITH "WIRELESS."

The total production of . new wealth for 1902 was $119,949,000. The increase of nearly $27,000,000 of this year Is sufficient answer to the derogatory re ports about the state that have ap peared witnin tne last fortnight. remaps a stronger argument In favor of the state is shown in an ex amination of the bank deposits. In July, 1901, South Dakota banks had deposits amounting to $14,000,000.00: on July 1, 1902, these amounted to $30,000,000.00, and on July 1, 1903, to JZ,UVV,UUU.UU. In addition to the money In corn. wneai ana me gold or the Black Hills, which has been termed the richest one hundred square miles In the world, there is good money in South Dakota cattle. Men who have come to sou in. Dakota without money, and who now count their dollars with five figures, say that raising cattle Is the only business in the world for which a man can borrow his entire capita'. It Is a fact that South Dakota banks are glad to help any honest, industrious young man, who comes well recom-menle- d for his commercial in cattle business and acceptintegrity, his cattle as collateral. A banker of Ipswich told your correspondent that during twenty years of such loans he had not lost one cent and he could name by the score young men who had secured from South Dakota banks the price of their first herd of cattle. A visit to the catUe ranch of Lee A Prentis near Vermillion, S. D., was one of the interesting features cf the above mentioned trip. Lee & Prentis are the largest cattle breeders In bouth Dakota.

The expedition would have the benefit of all the latest improvements, and the equipment would be reduced to the minimum both of weight and bulk.

A large number of the farmers and stockmen, as well as a majority of the South Dakota editors have been in attendance at the Corn Palace at Mitchell during the last week. The South Dakota Commission to the SL Louis Exposition has Just decided to reproduce the Mitchell Corn Palace as the Soutu Dakota exhibit, and visitors to St Louis will have an to see a building 140 by 100opportunity the exfet, terior of which will be entirely constructed of corn. Like other South Dakota towns, Mitchell is show!cg considerable prosperity and enterprise this year. Th cornerstone of the $40,000 city hall was laid last week; the walls of a $50,000 hotel to be built of stone and are up above the first floor; a Carnepie llbrsry has been built at a cost of $15,000. and a score of smaller buildings are under construction, and Improvements and pavement of streets are under way.

Commander Peary Intends to proceed by ship to the northern shore of Grant Land, which Is the northernmost land yet reached on the globe. From there he proposes to go over the polar ice pack by means 'of sledges drawn by dogs. The distance from Grant Land to the pole Is about 490 miles. He will take a group of Eskimos from the Whale Sound region, and tbey will constitute the bulk of the exploring party. The vessel will be named the Charles II.

As I under stand It, metal has to be used sparingly where the cold Is so intense, and the best steel is rendered as brittle as glass. Even the sledges have to be fastened with thongs or strings, as bolts and nails would be out of the question. I also appreciate that an arctic explorer considers the question of his commissary, and he does not care to feed anv more nersona than f be has to. An expert operator with the pioneer party would be out of tha question. But I believe that all theso difficulties can be overcome. "There are no technical difficulties to speak of. We have tried wireless telegraphy in latitudes where the cold was most intense and got better results than anywhere else. Atmospheric conditions present no obstacles whatever. "You can say for me that I realize the importance of such a test. I would insist on superintending the construe tion of all apparatus intended for this purpose. It would be an honor to be of assistance to Commander Peary in achieving such a triumph as the discovery of the north pole." "Granting the feasibility of wireless telegraphy in polar explorations, the north pole Is already In Peary's hands," said a member of the Arctio Club, the organization that has supported the explorer in his previous ventures. If Mr. Peary could be assured of a moderate weight and good behavior on the part of the equipment it is possible he would consider it, but he is the one to decide that point.
