In times of prosperity the prudent
man provides, TO the best of his ability,
for his family He looks forward that
its daily supply of needs and comforts
may continue in the emergency of his
death. Little daily savings and safe in
vestments in time accumulate to an
abundant provision for the future. But
in this period, maybe even long before
this wise provision has grown to be ade-
quate TO the necessities of the family,
death may remove its head. For this
emergency there is one thing needful-
a good life-insurance policy. 1t has be-
come quite common for careful business
men to protect their estates by life in
surance. 1t gives a cash fund immedi-
ately available to take the place of In
dividual credit. to meet obligations
falling due. to carry on the business. or
to prevent property from going to fore
ed sale. In this case life insurance may
not be necessary TO protect the family
from want. but it is carried for the pur-
pose of preventing shrinkage in the
value of property or business likely TO
occur if the managing head is taken
away. Good insurance is n particularly
sagacious investment for the head of a
family who has mortgage on his
homestead. If he is insured for enough
to cover the obligation. he is relieved
from much anxiety about the future; in
the possible event of his death before
the mortgage is paid the insurance will
save the homestead. BY no other means
can the welfare of his family be SO
well secured. This is only a bare sug-
gestion of the reasons for iudiclous life
insurance. 1t is Il subject that should
receive the most thoughtful considera-
ton. touching as ii does the comfort and
happiness of those dearest to one; and
the more it Is studied the greater will
appear the good in 1t. a little study is
sufficient to convince one of the benefits
of life insurance. There is problem
in the practical application which calls
for the exercise of the best judgment.

With this issue of our paper we COM
mence Volume Twenty. That number
marks the years OF the history of the
CHRONICLE as mile stones erected along
the road we have thus far travelled, in
our journalistic career. In looking
back through the dim vista of the years
that have gone, we mark how plainly
our prosperity has kept pace with
the prosperity of the community in
which our own is bound up and insep-
arabic. We all know how varied this
has been. rough and smooth, now bright
with hope and now gloomy with dis
appointment, when the blossoms hope
never reached fruition. But today, we
are happy to state. although present
conditions are not all that could be
wished, the outlook for the future
was never 80 bright, within our MEM
ory of the past. as IL is at this time. OF
course We have always contended that
Custer was mining camp or nothing
and that it is to the mines We must look
for our prosperity. 1t is with this re-
gard We feel encouraged, and rejoice in
the assurance that our feet have touched
upon solid ground. There is no use cry
ing over split milk. Let us make the best
use of the present and welcome the
future cheerfully and without fear.

South Dakota Assessment.

A Pierre special of the 18th says
The work of the state board of assess
ment and equalization was completed
last night, and the closing work was
marked by several hot passages between
Gov. Lee and other members of the
board, which we're called out by the
attempt of the governor to secure as a
part Of the record resolution declaring
the republican members of the board to
have been unfair in their actions, and in
the verbal row the governor intimated
to Treasurer Schamber that when the
treasurer desired to issue emergency
warrants the governor would have some
thing to say as to whether they should
be issued.
Express companies were assessed at
one-third more than for last year, plac.
ing them on par with other property.
The levy for the year is lower than it
has been for several years past. DIVIDED
as follows: Two mills, general fund
1.l0 mill, bond interest; lilo mill, con-
stitutional bond sinking fund. On cor.
porate property not otherwise assessed
the rate is 80 mills.

The South Dakota Boys En- r ou to .

The South Dakota boys will have to
sail seven thousand, seven hundred and
fiftythree miles to reach San Francisco,
according to the route mapped out for
them. The transport Sheridan, which
is bringing them home, is billed to coal
at Nagasaki, on the island Of Kiushu,
which is a part of Japan. That will
avoid the delay necessary to coal at Ma
Mia. Nagasaki is considerable north of
the route that has been taken by the
other transports, and by going that way
the Sheridan will be compelled to travel
farther than otherwise. The distance
from Manila to Nagasaki is l7lS miles
from Nagasaki to Honolulu 3945 miles :
from Honolulu to San Francisco 20S9
miles. The transport will cross the in
ternational date line twice, oncs be-
tween Manila and Nagasaki, and once
again between Nagasaki and Honolulu.
AS the Sheridan is a swift sailing ves-
sci it should reach San Francisco within
thirty days from the time Of starting,
and it is not likely that anything will
be heard of it after it leaves Nagasaki
as that is the last cable station that will
be touched. When the boys get back
they will have seen China and Japan
as we'll as all the principal islands of the
Pacific ocean.-Pioneer-Times.

The boom in Ellis and Trego counties
in Kansas, where such rich gold and

found, was of short duration. Land is
not so high in that locality as it was a

fabulously rich in the precious metal.

tors who sought to unload their hold
ings, and could get just as high assays

get them the farmer has gone back to

Some Light on the Reservoir Law.

The general land Office at Washington
has sent to the land office at Rapid an
amendatory circular relative to the new
reservoir law. 1t gives the law diff
ferent meaning than that generally held,
and it is u disappointment to many, who
had construed it to mean that any one
could fence several quarter sections OF
ground in a block, leaving only the
reservoir unfenced. This would have
been great thing for the cattle own
els. The new Interpretation of the law
allows but forty acres of land to be re-
served for a reservoir holding half a
million gallons of water. Eighty acres
can be held for reservoir holding
no less than a million. Not more
than l60 acres can be reserved in one
group of tracts adjoining or concerning
upon each other. No two applications
will be accepted where they lie joining
each other, although in separate sec
tions. No application will be accepted
where it lies within two miles ofa spring
or stream of running water. Lands so
reserved shall not be fenced but shall
be kept open to the free use of any kind.
A number of tracts of ground have al
ready been filed at the land Office here,
the general opinion having been that
the land could be fenced. 1t is believ-
ed the law will be of little use to the
cattle owners.

Frederic Remington, whose accurate
pictures of the West and of western
life are known the world round, has
been spending several weeks in Yellow
stone Park sketching tie glorious seem
cry there. While in the national pleas
ure ground he thought he would paint
in colors picture of the Grand Canon
Of the Yellowstone. So he told his man
to pack up his paints and brushes and
drive over to Artists Point, where
Thomas Moran, eighteen years ago,
painted the celebrated picture now
hanging in the national capitol. After
the easel had been adjusted. the ca anvass
stretched, and all the tools and colors
made ready, Remington sat down and
for half hour, or more, silently gazed
at that awful abyss of transitional splen-
dors. Then he shook his head and
slowly arose, reluctantly abandoning
the task of reproducing those miles upon
miles of delicately yariegated coloring.
The surprised helper exclaimed "Why,
aren't you going to paint a picture, Mr..
Remington? ?" NO." replied the big
artist, "a mans d-n fool who would
try to paint that picture. 1t would look
like an exploded paint shop" Those
who have viewed the resplendent beauty
of the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone
will not be surprised at this story !;
rather will they think the more of the
renowned artist for his candid admis-
sion. 1t is worthy of note that more
Americans are each season coming to
appreciate the wonderful scenery and
the natural curiosities of the vast play
ground set aside by congress for their
enjoyment. Travel to Yellowstone Park
this season exceeds that of any previous
year.
