IN THE GARDEN PATCH.

The pansy blossoms grow small at
this season. Allow TO bloom as long
as they seem attractive, then fertilize
the ground near the roots, and cut
back rather sharply. The autumn dis
play OF flowers will yindicate this plan.
Wind and rain are as necessary to
most plants as sunshine. a too shell.
tered location means deprivation, fire..
quently poor Development. Secure a
good current Of air, not narrow or
draughty, if the garden is to do its
best.
DO you desire a good spot of perma-
nent color in the garden? Choose a
good bush of English golden elder.
This variety will supply great guam
tity of feathery blossoms in due
season, and an equal profusion Of shin
ing golden foliage the most of the
year.
No gardening experiment is more in
teresting than that Of sowing seeds

Fences are to Come Down.

A Washington dispatch of November
9th says, Secretary Hitchcock has taken
under consideration questions which
have arisen in Nebraska and elsewhere
in the west regarding the alleged illegal
fencing Of the public domain by cattle
men. In fact, the question was discuss
ed at recent cabinet meeting and it is
understood the president urged the
secretary of the interior to speedy ac-
ton. Colonel Mosby some days ago had
an extended talk with the president and
laid before him many facts tending to
show that hundreds of thousands of acres
of public land are now illegally occupied
by cattlemen which should be free and
open to occupancy of homesteaders. At
any rate, there will be some decisive
step taken by Secretary Hitchcock in q
short time. AS an official ofthe Interior
who is in close touch with
Secretary Hitchcock expresSedit it. "The
fences will come down and stay down.
The president has taken hand"

Slaughter of Deer.

From Rockford comes the report that
parties in that neighborhood make a
practice of wantonly slaughtcring deer
in that vicinity. The Lead daily Call is
informed that three persons went ont
the last of last week and returned with
twenty.seyen deer, and while it is not
known positively that they are market
ing the meat. it is certain that the next
day not vestige of all this game re-
mained. This is very deplorable fact
and the game warden Of Lawrence coun-
ty should investigate the matter at once.
At this rate the deer will soon become
extinct, as none will be left to breed
when the season closes. 1t is also claim
ed that in several cases where ranchmen
made complaint in regard to the whole
sale slaughter they were made to pay
dear for the complaint by having their
cattle crippled and killed. The matter
should be taken in hand by the author
tiles and an example made of few OF
the perpetrators by giving them a few
years at Sioux Falls.

Yellowstone Park Travel.

Yellowstone National Park travel dur
ing the season recently closed was ex-
ceeded in numbers only by the season OF
1897. The park transportation company
carried 1870 persons through the park
during l902-tfty- y-three less than were
carried in the banner year of 1897. The
park hotel company furnished accommo-
dations to 6,340 persons, Of whom 1928
entered the park via the Northern Pa
cifc-Burlington gateway, while l,l4l
entered by way OF Monida. August saw
the largest number of tourists. During
that month 1876 we're cared for at the
hotels.
further idea Of the success Of the
season in Yellowstone Park can be gain,
ed from the fact that it required 500
horses, IT'S men and l70 vehicles to han
die the traffic in the park. Feed for the
horses consisted of 1000 tons of hay and
100000 pounds of oats. These figures
are taken from reports just filed with the
United States government.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

According to the yearly custom of our
people, it falls upon the president at this
season 10 appoint day of festival and
thanksgiving to God. Over a century
and quarter has passed since this coun-
try took its place among the nations of
tbs Garth, and during that time We have
had on the whole more to be thankful
for than has fallen to the lot any other
people. Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur-
dens, each to face its special crisis, and
each has known years Of grim trial,
when the country was menanced by
malice, domestic or foreign envy, when
the hand of the Lord was heavy upon it
in drouth or food or pestience, when in
bodily distress and la anguish of soul it
paid the penalty of folly and a forward
heart. Nevertheless, decade after de-
cade we haye struggled onward and up
ward; We now abundantly enjoy ma
terial wellbeing, and under the favor of
the Most High we arc striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplifting.
The year that has just closed has been
one of peace and oyerfowing plenty
Rarely has any people enjoyed greater
prosperity than we are now enjoying.
For this we render heartfelt and solemn
thanks to the Giver of Good and we
seek to praise him not by words only,
but by deeds, by the way in which we
do our duty to ourselves and to our fell
low men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the United States, do here
by designate as day of general thanks
giving, Thursday, the twenty-seventh of
the coming November, and do recon-
mend that throughout the land the peo
pie cease from the ordinary occupations,
and in their several homes and places of
worship render thanks to Almighty God
for the manifold blessings of the past
year.
In witness whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at the
city Of Washington this Goth day OF
October, in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and two, and of
the independence of the United States
the one hundred and twenty-seventh.

Mining Items,

A deal is pending on the Mayfower
group of gold claims.
James Cochran has resumed work on
the famous Cochran mine near Roch-
ford.
1t is rumored that work will be re.
sumed on the Crown mica mine in the
near future.
The Black Hills Porcelain Clay and
Marble company is loading car load OF
mica for shipment.
1t is reported that the Lakota Mining
company, which has lately been organ
lied for the purpose of working the
Grizzly Bear mine, five miles east of Hill
| City, has ordered a new ten.stamp mill
to take the place Of the old one, which
has become out Of date, its machinery
worn out and antiquated, and expects to
have the new plant ready to run by
spring.
The Saginaw still employs large crew
of men who are engaged in installing the
new steam hoist, erecting buildings and
otherwise improving and putting the
property in shape to take its place
among the big producers of the precious
metal in the Black Hills. They have
bored in many places with a diamond
drill to the depth Of we are told 500 feet,
and have ascertained that the three diff
erent veins which show at the surface
come together with depth and give them
a large body of ore Of an excellent grade.
At the Sunbeam mine work is pro-
crossing as fast as the weather will per-
init and DR.. Chambers can push it. The
ditch is completed and all the pipes laid
and connections made. At the pump
station every thing is ready for work.
The water will have to be pumped from
there about thousand feet and in that
distance will have to gain an elevation
of 150 feet. The boiler and air compress
sor are set, the hoist and the greater part
of the mill machinery are all on the
ground. Work in the shaft will soon be
resumed. d.-Hill City News.
We are informed by parties just in
from the North Star mine that the ten
stamp mill is running steadily and are
not troubled from lack of water. We
presume that the company understand
that they are not operating in free
milling camp, and will not be slow in
putting in the necessary appliances to
save the gold that is in their rock. The
company has thus far shown good min.
ing sense. by thoroughly developing
their mine before putting up plant and
they have all the ore blocked out that
they will require to run a large
plant for good many years. 1t is an
excellent grade of ore and with proper
treatment may be made immensely pro-
ftable. We hope that no mistake will
be made in the process ofreduction. Mr..
III. D. Lemon has charge of the work and
as he has shown himself to be an effici
ent miner, we think he can be depended
upon to look sharply after this matter.
TIN DEAL PENDING.
The Pioneer-Times of the 9th inst.
says: There is big deal pending in
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1902-11-15

The recent issue from the census Office
of the compilation of figures on litter
acy of children show that more foreign
born children can read than native born.
The statement says: Confning the CON-
parison to children between the ages OF
10 and IA years in the United States 97.96
per cent of the native white children OF
native parents and 99.1 per cent of the
native white children of foreign born
parents are able to read and write. This
surprising difference in favor of the
children of the foreign born population
is due largely to the fact that the chill
dren of the foreign born immigrants
live mainly in the Northern and West
ern states, where the public school sys-
tenn has already reached high degree
of efficiency, while great numbers of ma.
tive white children of native parents live
in The Southern states, and in that region
about 10 per cent of such children are
illiterate.
