There vas bad feeling between the
church and state last week in Watonga
The restaurant people had counted on
making little something to balance the
dizziness Of the times. when the court
and A. H. r. A crowd were in town.
The church people were in town also
The church people also decided TO en-
bark temporarily in the lunch counter
business. and so the trouble began. As
is almost always the case. the church
people fed the crowd. Now there is a
right and wrong side 20 every question.
and as the business world views these
matters. the restaurant people have the
best of the argument. The restaurant
people OF this fogn have permsn enfly
located here. and some OF them. at least
have contributed materially TO the up
building Of Watonga. They pay taxes and
bear their share OF the burden Of gov
eminent These facts OF themselves do
not argue that they must be pstronized
but as other business men 6gure. they arc
due such patronage as their aecommoda-
tionS warrant. and as other business men
figure, they are 70 be recognized rather
than an institution that Is here today and
gone tomorrow, that owns no property
and pays no taxes Now, We are cure the
church people have neyer taken time -
think OF this matter IN the right light
They do not entertain thought 81 en-
barking IN the restaurant business pr
manently. OF bearing the losses % dull
Gays as well the profits of good ones
but wait until crowd is in town from
which the restaurant people are expect
ing some profits. THIS 10 wrong Z
every standpoint and re leave the a1ss-
ton 20 any fair-nlzded person OF
course. the church people ar ret uh0liy
TO blame. for We have personal kuowi-
edge Of their having been requested 70

Edmond Enterprise.

VIM. a. Jordan came in The Enterprise
office the other day To pay for the pub
lication of his final proof notice. We
asked him several questions which re-
suited in the following information He
came here two years after the opening
and paid $500 for a REIMBURSEMENT on the
northwest quarter of section 4, 14-3 west
with but very little improvements on it,
During all the years since then he has
made a good living for himself and family
and put a great many improvements on
the place. and but very recently refused
5000 for the land, which proves that
Oklahoma is a good place for home as
well as a good place for an investment.

ReaolutiOn.

At the session of the Fourth Quarterly
Conference of the NJ. Z. church July ID,
1903, the following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, the Methodist Episcopal
church of Custer has with profit and
great good been served during the past
year By our pastor, Rev. w. r. Jeffry,
Jr., and his Christian administration and
Cody life have been a blessing to both
the church and community, therefore,
Resolved. LIST. That we do as a Quar-
terly Conference express N sincere APP
probation to Bro. Jeffrey for his able
services rendered us and the church.
Resolved. End. That We invite Bro.
Jeffrey to remain with us another year,
promising him our earnest cooperation
and loyal support.
Mr.. jeffrey informs us that he believes
it his duty to seek a lower altitude for
the benefit of his family, therefore on
Sunday evening, August 80, he will hold
his last service ia Custer. 1t is hoped q
large audience will greet him on this &C.
casion.

The new metal Radium which has such
wonderful peculiarities is extracted from
ores of uranium, the commonest of which
is "uranmite" or "pitch blende." This
is said to contain Sl2 per cent uranium,
4 per cen Of lead and ] per cent of iron
with oxygen and water, and sometimes
m~agnesia, manganese and silica. AS We
have every other known mineral in the
Black Hills we believe that the Radioac-
tive pitch blende will be found in Custer
county. Cne of the peculiarities Of this
metal, il is stated, is that it maintains
quite a high temperature, and constantly
throws off heat, and will do so indef-
nitely without replenishing, and with
out loss.

Mr.. James Lung3r and wife left Custer
on the evening of the oath with the in
tention of removing permanently from
the old town where he has resided since
1879. His present intention is to settle
in the town of Homer, CORTLAND coun-
ty, N. Y, where he will engage in the
business of raising small fruit. We do
not think 1t a wise move on the part Of
Mr.. Lunger to leave a pleasant home
where he made an easy living, and
where he is 30 widely acquainted and has
been so long and universally respected.
He imagines that he car make more
money there, and make it easier than in
Custer, and we hope his fondest expecta-
tons may be realized, but We fear he
has made q mistake. He will come in
competition with the large fruit farms
which food that market with their car
loads upon car loads Of small fruit. Be-
sides being a stranger in a strange land,
he will miss the co~mpanionship Of his
old time friends and will pass many a
lonely day.

To Open the College.

Bishop Stariha, ofthe Catholic church,
came down from Lead Tuesday evening
and spent Wednesday in the city getting
matters fixed as best he could looking
toward obtaining the Black Hills College
building for the purpose of opening a
college next year. The bishop stated to
the Star editor that he thought the indi-
cations were fair for their procuring the
buildings, in which event they would re-
model the interior and place it in readi-
ness for opening a school next year.. He
thinks that they would first open a COM
mercial or business college, with perhaps
some other special features adapted to
the Black Hills region. He thinks the
time and conditions opportune for such
an institution and says that ifthe people
of Hot Springs will do the proper thing
| he has no doubt that they will take hold
of it. He says it would be non-sectarian
| entirely and conducted along strict edu.

Deadwood papers make a note OF the
fact, that the farmers of the spearfish
valley are bringing in apples to Dead
wood by the wagon load, and that the
fruit is excellent. Fruit growers from
Nebraska and other states have all along
in the years past declared that fruit
of the hardy varieties could be raised In
our foot hills without difficulty. But 1t
seems that there were very few of our
farmers that had any faith in it, still
there were a few who had confidence
enough to make the experiment and
they are now reaping a rich reward.
