Fat BeeYea.

One hundred head ofthe finest beeves
ever driven into this place were pur-
chased of p. p. Eskins, the Red Canyon
cattle man, on Friday of last week, by
James Clark, the pioneer butcher Of this
place. They were all four year old
steers, fat as butter, and would dress,
upon the average, oyer 700 pounds.
Samples of the beef, which for superior
excellence has never been excelled in
any country, may be seen at Mr.. Clark's
market. The public may now depend
upon having good beef from this time
on, as nothing but the best will be here
after purchased for this market.

The character Of the weather at this
juncture is such as to encourage the
belief Of this being the most forward
spring ever experienced in the Hills
Every indication points to the conclus
ion that winter has fled, and that the
month of April will not be marked by
the slight snow storms, chilling winds,
and changeable temperature which been
common to this month in past years. II
may however, Notwithstanding present
favorable appearances, be we'll enough
to defer planting trees, shrubs, etc. for a
few weeks, which, in case Of the advent
Of a cold snap, would entail loss. in view
of which it might be advisable to wait
until the 1st of May before planting.
Custer will plant more trees this spring
than has ever heretofore been planted
in her history, and it is of the utmost
Importance that they be planted at a
time most favorrble to their growth.

We are informed that the preliminary
steps are being taken in the matter of
the settlement Of the differences be-
tween Fail River and Custer counties
by arbitration. This is the proper
method to adopt in the premises, and
we sincerely hope that the matter may
by amicably adjusted, and that the feel
ing Of amity and friendliness which now
exists between the counties may remain
undisturbed. Custer county will, in
this matter, demand nothing but what
is equitable and just, and that Fall River
county will recognize the justice of the
demand, and honorably discharge the
obligation, there can be but little,
any, doubt.
