BATTLE RIVER, May %, 81

BATTLE RIVER, May 23, 'S6.
EDITOR CHRo NICLE Every body is
talking circus down here, and all ex-
pect to have grand old time next Mon
day taking in the first circus exhibiting
in Custer county.
Now since it has been determined
that Battle River is the nearest railroad
point to Custer City, why net come
down and take look at our young and
fourishing town, and locate farm in
our beautiful valley. We expect the
cars here by the 9Th of June. The
townsite surveying party are locating
the railroad town, and the Deadwood
and Rapid City Townsite company are
surveying an addition on the opposite
side of the river. The old citizens here
would very much prefer one whole
townsite, to two half townsites, and
would favor consolidation, which we
hope may be finally agreed upon.
Travel is increasing every day, many
are locating here from all parts of the
east, and our real estate Offices are doing
a rushing business. One thing we need
badly, is the survey of few more town
ships in this part of the county, which
would have the effect of increasing the
number of locations, and be much more
satisfactory to locators
Tie contractors are very busy deliver
ing ties, and will have no time to spare,
as they will be needed in a few days.
Rapid is very much troubled over the
matter of the railroad going on to that
enterprising city Of Deadwood without
halting, but such things can't easily be
helped you know. met weary foot
man yesterday, who was passing
through this place on his way to the
Gap. asked HIM where he was from,
he said he came from Rapid. / then
asked him why he left so flourishing a
city as Rapid, for the less pretentious
city of the Gap. He told me that he
had been indiscreet, and in an unguard-
ed moment had said, while there, that he
believed Deadwood would make the
best town of the two, which re9dlted in
his being driven out of town by the Ku
Klux Klan.
Sheriff Currier has appointed w. H.
Spangler deputy sheriff, and We arc all
we'll pleased with the appointment.

Impressions of Custer.

A few days ago Mr.. Coleman f.
Bishop. late of New York City, who has
been spending some time in this city,
and vicinity, looking up our mineral re-
sources, with a view to investment,
being caller at this Office, was asked by
us what his impressions of Custer were?
He thereupon pencilled the following,
which we cheerfully publish with our
Endorsement
In the east, the town of the Black
Hills that is most frequently referred to
is, perhaps, Deadwood. The town best
known is Custer City. Deadwoods
newspapers have done much to advertise
her; the Homestake and other estab-
lished large mining investments have
done much TO fasten her in the minds of
capitalists, especially. Clusters fame
abroad is largely that of the gateway to
the mines of the Hills. Rapid City and
Buffalo Gap, the newer towns, are also
beginning to be mentioned favorably.
/ think their real estate booms have at
tracted much attention to them, though
they are known as promising outlying
towns to the Hills proper.
If any eastern man could visit Custer
City his previous impressions as to her
important location commercially. would
be pleasantly re-enforced by her ad-
vantages as place Of residence. She
is genuine surprise package" Who
ever debouches for the first time upon
this lovely plateau, is sure to exclaim
with delight at the scene. This pleasant
surprise will grow into a permanent and
charmed affection if one stays here long
enough to take iu" completely the air
and water, both cool and pure, the re-
freshing nights of sleep, the delicious
days of rest and quiet. The situation of
Custer, walled by the Black Hills,
reminds one forcibly Of that most ro-
mantle hamlet Of the Adirondacks,
ElIzabethtown. The air and sky are
Italian in their clearness and coloring;
the climate is Swiss in its bracing effects.
l do not know from experience what
the winters are here. but they would
have to be as disagreeable and unhealth-
full as those of New York to neutralize
the charms of the spring as thus far i'm
bihed
How to make both the commercial
Importance and beauty Of Custer City
known to the outside world is problem
to which her citizens should address
themselves, The truth should be set
forth and substantiated in railroad hand
books, and in eastern publications. The
whole question should be frequently pre-
sented, on its merits, uncolored by de-
traction of other points in the Hills, and
along the foot hills by THE CHRONICLE,
and the citizens should take pains to
place them before their eastern friends
especially newspaper conductors. Large
extra editions devoted to this advertis-
ing, should be paid for by the citizens
and scattered everywhere.
The peculiar advantage and charms
of Custer City, certainly should not be
allowed to longer blush unseen"
Such is the opinion of one who has
quickly learned to love the spot

| wide range Of acquaintance. and whose
opinion, upon all questions Of this char
acter carries much weight, and we do
not wonder at his discontinue, upon
realizing how ridiculously he had been
misquoted.
The Judge is extremely careful in
giving expression to opinions favorable
or otherwise of the future of Black Hills
towns, and would rejoice in the rapid
progress of any Of them, but at this
iuncture, when the future of the Black
Fl ills, SO far as their chief city is con-
cerned, remains undetermined, he is not
disposed to air his opinions, and in any
event he feels that he is entitled to
reserve the right to shape such opinions
in accordance with his own personal
views, when the time comes to give
them publicity. We have seriously
doubted the genuine character ofa num-
Der of previous interviews in certain
Black Hills journals, and this denial
upon the part of Judge Ofienbacher
confirms our previous suspicious. We
do not condemn any honorable effort
upon the part of a journalist to advance
the interests of his town or coutry, in
fact we esteem it duty which he owes
to his patrons, but when any journalist
purposely misauotes an individual, for
the purpose of adding prestige to n town
that town is not resting upon basis
which may be claimed "selfsupporting,"
and such course must eventually re-
suit in injury instead of benefit to such
town, and detract very materially from
the influence of any journal which
adopts such questionable methods in
the wild effort to boom an experimental
town.

Disreputable Journalism.

The Rapid City Daily Republican of
the 23d inst, contains what purports to
be, an interview with Judge Often.
bacher, Of this city, from which we quote
the following:
"In addition to the development of
new gold and silver mines within the
next five years, our tin mines will step
in and in all probability make greater
production than all the precious metal
mines put together. All of this tremen-
dous industry must find some general
point of supply; some place where ores
or their products can be shipped and
Mr. Ofenbacher, in speaking of this i'm
portant fact, says he knows Of no place
better situated to become this grand
center of ali industry and traffic than
Rapid City. and added: ITO great
extent this lies with the citizens Of
Rapid City to-day. Ifthey embrace the
opportunities now offering and carry
out the work which they have outlined
in the matter of narrow guage railroads,
reduction works and other institutions
accessory to the development of min
ing country, then surely Rapid City will
be the metropolis permanent city,
not dependent solely on this mine or
that, but on great immensely wealthy
country in its entirety. Your city even
now is self supporting, but you cannot
be satisfied with remaining where you
are now. Fight for the first place. Let
no chance pass by and Rapid City will
be the largest, wealthiest and altogether
the most prosperous city in the west"
Judge OfIenbacher returned to this
city on Sunday evening, from an ex-
tended visit to the different mining dis
tricts of the Northern and Central Hills,
including the now famous carbonate
camp near Deadwood, and when this
reporter called his attention to the pub
lished interview, by handing him copy
of the paper, he carefully read the same,
after which he declared in the most
positive terms, that he had been almost
entirely misquoted, that no reference
whatever had been made to Rapid City,
that his remarks were strictly confined
to the mineral sections of the Black
Hills, and that all of that portion Of the
interview above quoted. was wholly un-
warranted, every syllable of which had
been manufactured to serve the ques-
tionable purpose Of the Republican.

Fire Escapes.

After each large fire wherein the inmates
of buildings, being cut off from egress, meet
with fatal results, there is a general cry for
more rigid enforcement of the law compel-
ing owners of large blocks and hotels and
workshops to erect suitable fire escapes
Now, tile question arises, What constitutes
suitable tie escape? In the first place, l
would like to argue pro and con regarding
the fire escape that is generally used now
common iron ladder bClted either to the
front or side of building, as an example
we will say hotel. Now, in case of fire,
this is all that is desired to save a mans life
under certain conditions that is, provided
man is sailor, used to climbing, and that he
sleeps in thesame room that the ladder reaches
But with circumstances other than these, a
ladder is mere mockery, Cor the following
reasons 1t is never supposed that one
woman or in a hundred would have presence
of mind enough to first find and then descend
ladder. Again, the persons whose rooms
the ladder reaches, upon retiring lock and
bolt their doors, and very likely in case Of
fire will quickly descend the ladder, leaving
those whose rooms are not so favorably situ-
ated to escape as best they can. have
never yet learned where a stationary ladder
was the means Of saving human life
The Milwaukee hotel fire. few years ago
gives us good example of the efficiency of
the stationary ladders upon that building.
Nearly all the inmates were so excited that
they could not act for themselves Lut even
those who would do so were driven back by
the dense smoke, and in order to keep from
suifocating were obliged to stay at the win
dows, and as result were slowly burned to
death. At recent fire chiefs convention,
the opinion was given that fire escape t! at
depended upon the inmates of buildings for
action was practically useless.
| What is needed is an escape that is manipu-
lated by persons on the ground-oue that
can be raised, lowered ami moved to any
windows in the building, and rescue three OF
four men, women, or children at one time.
There are patent fire escapes innumerable,
some embracing ideas that are without doubt
very ingenious, but they all contain this
| great fault, they are not handled by persons
on the ground Again, architects aud build
eTs should take into consideration the fact
that fire escapes, as they are now made, arC
not an enhancement to the good appearance
Of buildings.-F. G. b., Amer. Builder.
