CUSTER COUNTY PROSPEROUS.
County Finances and Affairs in Ex-
ceIlent Condition.


Custer S. D., Aug 22.--Custer coun-
time than it ever as been before.
County finances an1 county affairs in
every line are in better condition than
they have been since the county was
organized and bids fair to remain in
an excellent condition Mining inter-
present more than half a dozen gold,
tin and mica mines operating within
the county, their average crew being
about twenty men.
The bug infested timber which 1t
seemed would go to waste is now being
used for ties and mining props and
timbers. Over one hundred men are at
work in this district cutting, trimming
and hauling the timber away. and more
men are needed as the trees are not
falling fast enough to suit Uncle Sam
and the contractors. The government
to cut and trim the bug timber. The
object of cutting the bug infested tim-
ber is to eAterminate the bug.
One Of the most important things for
the betterment of the county is the
new forest reserve laws provided for
in the agricultural settlement bill which
was passed at the last session of con-
gress. The bill provides that all land
in the forest reserve that is not covered
with timber shall be opened for settle
ment and newcomers are taking ad-
vantage Of the new law and are fast
taking up homesteads.
Another law passed by the last con-
gress was one providing that 10 per
cent of the receipts from the forest
reserve. shall be given to the counties
in which they are situated, the money
to be used by the state legislatures for
the good of the counties in which the
forest reserves are located. South Da-

.'1t is PROBABLE that the rural schools

city positions are practically all filled

1t was in the years shortly after the

jhen scarcely more than boy), to

There can be no doubt but that
Brown county is a wonderful agricul-
tural district, the best in the world.
My trip this morning showed that it
was the finest grain producing land in
the world. The country looks prosper
ous. very much so. and I do not think
tAat one could find a section of country
anywhere in the world that would beat

II am making this trip for the pur-
pose Of investigating grain conditions
and particularly for the purpose of in
specting the ins and outs of the wheat
Industry. My Investigation is to be
confined to North and South Dakota
and Minnesota. The government of
Japan is making arrangements to buy
ali the flour it imports from the sec
zion embraced by those three states
snd I am here to get statistics for a
report to submit to the government.
Heretofore the Japanes have been buy
ing all their flour from the Pacific
coast, from the states Of California,
Oregon and Washington. That flour is
all from winter wheat and it is not
nearly as nutritious as the spring fife
and blue stem grown in the Dakotas
and Minnesota. Hereafter we will buy
all our flour from this section. Last
year we imported between $5,000,000
and $6,0O0O0O worth of flour from the
United States: and that amount this
coming year will be spent in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota.

farmers may migrate to thesesstates to
establish colony similar to our rice

means sure
