Evarts to Mobridge: Rise and Fall of a South Dakota Town
The Missouri River town of Evarts in north central South Dakota rapidly faded after a railroad bridge plan redirected growth to Mobridge. Thousands of cattle moved east as Evarts emptied, depot torn down, and the town abandoned. Mobridge rose as the new frontier town with brisk housing, western hospitality, and vigilance against rustling.

Democrats for Good Roads at Denver Back Federal and State Aid
The Democratic party at Denver adopted a strong plank calling for federal and state aid to farmers to fund permanent highways. It argues rural mail delivery costs and benefits from improved roads justify government bonds to cover construction. The piece notes rural delivery costs $55,000.10 annually and estimates potential savings and per mile support from a $400,000,000 bond issue. It concludes farmers cannot build roads alone and both levels of government are needed.
