The Black Hills proper are contained in an area of over a hundred miles north and south, with an average width of fifty miles. On the north one finds a great government irrigation project, fed by the crystal streams from the mountains, while to the south of the Black Hills are the mineral springs noted for their healthgiving properties. On the east are the vast prairies of the state, and these too are fed by the streams that cascade down over the granite benches, while on the west are the plains of South Dakotas neighbor, Wyoming. All these streams, pines, spruce, and granite hills give one an atmosphere undefined, unsullied, or unspoiled by smoke, smudge, or any other of mans products. The clear wholesome air carries a perfume of the breath of the pines. Gurgling, dashing, crystal streams of water jump from sunshine to shadow. In one gorge you find primeval solitude.

It is fortunate in a way that the communities of the Black Hills have not had a strenuous and fashionable boom, for perhaps they would have lost some of their hearty appeal. The Black Hills are populated largely by miners, tradesmen and farmers; men and women who appreciate nature at her very best. One sees unpretentious abodes; a short distance .away is a comfortable lodge, a summer home for one who appreciates not only the beauties of nature, but the health-givin- g properties that are derived from the wonderful air of the Black Hills. The sky rivals that beautiful blue that Italy boasts so much about. Beautiful flowers clothe the valleys and the hillsides, and owing to the fertility of the soil there is practically a new variety each week. There are numerous excellent and modem hotels, cottages, small lodges and cabins where nature lovers spend their vacation period. For instance, there is one beautiful spot which the writer has in mind, of a log cabin, .in fact, it might well be called a lodge. Back of this abode is the blue black mountain pine, while a few steps from the front porch is a trout stream, filled with rainbows. On the other side of the crystal stream stand the Btate- well-appoint- ed Washington, D. C., June 3. When President Coolidge selected the Black Hills for the Summer White House, he evidently had several things in mind. He desired to get better acquainted with the people and conditions west of the Mississippi river. He wanted to spend his brief vacation period in a region that would give him the greatest comfort, without the frills and furbelows of an summer resort. He also had in . mind the fact that the climate in this famous region of the coutnry would lessen the discomfort caused by the pollen season, for the president during the summer months is affected with what might be termed, or at least akin to, rose or hay fever, so cool, crisp mountain air relieves him of the annoyance of any nasal trouble. The name Black Hills does not convey to the average mind the beauties and wonders of this section of the country. These peaks, that are the highest between the Rockies and the Himalayas, derived their name from the Sioux Indians, to whom these mountains were sacred. In the Sioux languagePaha, meaning Hills, and Sapa, meaning Black, was the title that the tribes gave them, and the name has never been changed. If one really wants to be correct as to color, they would be named the Purple moutnains, for the abundant growth of pines, blue spruce, and vast hills ultra-fashionab- le ly birch. An exquisite jewel in a beau- tiful setting. Th vacationist, who must have the latest conveniences, can in this section the county find sporty golf . of courses, splendidly maintained high- Lind- ways, or if one desires to bergh the Black Hills, at Rapid City he may take an airplane and view the Black Hills from the air. Sometimes nature lavishes many of her blessings on one particular spot. The Black Hills have long been called the richest hundred milesquare in America.
