FOR RELIEF OF SETTLERS.

Senator Hanley received the following
telegram from Congressman Martin on
April Sth;
"Bil for relief of settlers in Black
Hills forest reserve and allowing further
settlement agricultural lands Custer
county passed House yesterday"
This is good news for the taxpayers of
Custer county. Many were of the opin-
ion that the bill would not pass. Hav-
ing patiently waited for eight years for
relief and not having secured 1t, but
instead, found that the rules of the
department were being more rigidly
enforced year by year, they lost hope.
Bu: Congressman Martin, with his usual
energy and perseverance, has succeeded
in passing the bill in the House, which
! when Il finally becomes law will mean
so much to the people Of this commnn-
ity.
The original bill which was general,
and in its terms applied to all forest re-
serves in The Tinted States, met with so
much opposition that it became neces-
sary to limit the application Of its pro-
visions to the SLACK Hills reserve only,
in order to save it from delay or possible
| defeat.
The persistent efforts OF Senator Han
lev in prosecuting this legislation in
! behalf of the people of Custer county,
and the good results brought about by
| the faithful endeavor and ability ol
| Congressman Martin, are fully apprecl'
ateu by the settlers in the reserve as
well az the taxpayers OF he enure
county.

rhe Frnlt arowers Associatlon

The leading fruit growers Of the Black
issued call for meeting which viii
take place at the City Hall in Deadwood
on the evening of the l4th of April The
object of this meeting is 10 get together
and organize an association of fruit
growers and to discuss the best methods
of propagating the class of fruit best
adapted to the soil and climate Of the
Black Hills. 1t has been ascertained by
many who have gone into horticulture
as a business that there are favored spots
all over the Hills where fruit Of many
different varieties may he grown success
fully and of quality not to be excelled,
Among these are many of the small
fruits such as strawberries, cherries,
pluLls, currants, raspberries, gooseber-
ries, serviceberries and many other var.
ieties of small fruit are being success
fully grown. All of these fruits grow
wild in this country and their quality is
much improved by cultivation. Parti-
cular attention is being drawn TO the
quality of the apples grown IN orchards
in the foot hills which are declared to be
superior to the apples grown in the east.
Hitherto very little attention has been
given this industry by our people gen.
orally as there has been a seeming lack
of faith on the part of our farmers and
ranchmen that. these things could be
grown successfully and be made source
of profit. Many of the most prominent
men of tie Black Hills will be present
and will address the meeting. This is a
move in the right direction as the cul-
ture of fruit will add much to the wealth
of the Hills, to say nothing ofthe beauty
and pleasure that fruit and flowers al

Getting Started as a Milliner.

Given a knack and little knowl-
edge of millinery, nothing is easier
to get started in than the bonnet
business. The hat shop is a de-
lightfully clean place, one where
artistic tastes have opportunity to
show themselves and to earn a good
income for their fortunate possess
sor. 1t is commonly thought that
millinery is a matter requiring
capital, and so it is if the milliner
must begin on a large scale.
Granted, however that she must
not, cannot, but on the contrary
must climb into the hat business
without capital, she may become a
visiting milliner, go from house to
house, use ladies' own material"
and furnish up old hats until she
has laid by a small sum of money.
The next step in this self-making
process is thestage of taking orders.
Doubtless many of the girls Gus
tomers-thOse she has worked for
IL their own homes-have now
come to trust her judgment and
admire her taste. So when she
asks them to order their hats
though her, letting her do the
work at her own home, and look
ing for acceptance ION approval"
her necessarily wearing journeys
from house to house are at an end.
She buys materials with her little
capital, makes her hats and de-
llvers them. Her profit now is
considerably larger than when she
worked with ladies own material"
And then some day she is rich
enough to rent a shop and make
her hats in it instead of in her
bedroom.-Harriet Martin in The
New Idea Woman's Magazine for
April.

New Hotel TO Open Nav 4
