Capt Edward C. Pendleton, commanding
the battleship Missouri, now at the James
town exposition, was one of the President
callers this morning. He has been ordered
to the command Of the League Island navy
yard at PHILADELPHIA May 1, but because
of his inability to make the transfer by
next Wednesday the date has been changed
to June 1. Capt. Pendleton did not wish to
comment upon his call except to say that
he had not come to ask for anything. He
said his plan was to take the Missouri to
New York after the Presidents visit to
jamestown and give his men fifteen days
shore leave there in preference to giving it
to them at Norfolk.

Crouch Line Will Extend.

The information comes from absolute.
ly reliable authority, says the Pioneer
Times, that the Crouch line from Rapid
City to Mystic will be extended beyond
its present western terminus and that
the work on such extension will com
mence in the very near future. The
management is undertaking a line ofim-
provement in the present road that was
suggested by the recent floods which
practically swept the line out of exis.
tence and made it evident beyond all
question that railroad built in the bed
of a creek is not safe investment in the
Black Hills. In the reconstruction of
the road which is now going on, this
serious objection is being overcome and
the line is being raised to an elevation
which will insure some protection against
future floods.
The early extension Of the line up Cas-
tie creek west of Mystic is assured by
the fact that the management is already
negotiating for supplies and construction
material for the building of such extern
sion. 1t has not yet been officially an
nounced how far the first stretch ofroad
will go but it is known that the ultimate
destination of the line is the coal fields
of Wyoming and that these will be tap
ped for the supply of the Milwaukee
road.

county $5 and the Stock Growers asso.
citation S25, making total of $40 paid
for each wolf killed. An expert wolfer
was engaged last summer and succeed
ed, with the aid of the people of that
section in thinning them out consider
ably. In two months his bounties
amounted to over seven hundred dol
lars. The wolf has great strength for
travelling. He can leave the foothills
and travel as much as twenty miles to a
herd and back the same night. II is said
that IL per cent of the entire stock-cat-
tie, sheep and horses-have been lost in
this manner.
Forest Supervisor ]. F. Smith suggests
as remedy that an exceedingly good
trapper, Howard Wicker, a native of that
section, be employed to hunt the wolves.
He has also recommended to the U. s.
forestry department to contribute funds
to pay Mr.. Wicker's salary. Unless
something is done soon many of the
ranchers are talking of moving away.

Custer Co. EXHIBIT for Stat. Fair.

Col. W, j. Thornby of Deadwood
who has charge of the mineral display
that has been gathered from the Hills
for the State Fair which is to be held at
Huron from Sept. 9th to 18th, was in
town Sunday and Monday on matters
connected with the Custer county ex-
hibit. While here he secured some
very nice specimens of mica. A sample
taken from the White Spar mine, one
Of the properties owned and operated
by the Westinghouse Electric & Manu-
featuring Company, that will cut IL by
Is inches.
The Custer county collection was got.
ten together by J. Z. Pitcher, who has
devoted much time and care to the SO.
lections. The exhibit weighs over 500
pounds and comes from all the principal
properties of the district 1t contains
ambligonite, pink tripolite and green
lapodite, all lithia producing minerals,
tin ore, wolfram, pink quartz and sam
Piles from number OF gold mines.
There are also many pictures of Sylvan
Lake and other scenic points in the
county.
The exhibit was shipped from Dead.

Permanent Exhibit at Sioux Falls.

Mr.. George Schlosser who is in the
city as federal juror has made a sug-
gesion that will meet the hearty appro-
val and cooperation of every Black
Hitler who is at all interested in mines
and mining, and that includes the en-
tire population. Mr.. Schlosser's sugges.
ton is that after the close of the state
fair at Huron and the Mitchell Corn
Palace exhibition that the Black Hills
minerals sent over there for exhibit be
taken to Sioux Falls for permanent ex-
hibition. Mr.. Schlosser agrees to see
that they are properly labeled and plac.
ed in some prominent place for the bene.
fit Of the home people as well as the
numerous investors and others who Wis
it the state metropolis.
The suggestion is worthy Of prompt
action. Sioux Falls is the metropolis of
the state and her enterprising citizens
take pride in exhibiting the varied re.
sources of the entire state. The city has
many educational institutions, and the
students would find much of interest
and value in study of the minerals of
the Black Hills. The exhibit would at
first be small and incomplete, but it
would be added to from time TO time
until IL would become one of the finest
in the west No matter how small the
beginning. start should be made at
once. A permanent exhibit at the state
capitol would also be of value to the
Hills and Of the state.-Pioneer.T Times.

Wolves are Ravenous.

1t is reported from Newcastle that the
ranchers and cattle owners in that vicin-
ity, and the western part Of Custer coun-

depredations that are being committed
on their flocks by Buffalo wolves, which
are especially numerous this season.
The wolves are Of the large species and
so ferocious that two or three can ham
string good sized steer. The wolves
are indeed very extravagapt about their
depredations; they are too particular in
their tastes to come back the next night
and finish up the steer killed the night
before--each night they must have a
fresh one.

General secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A. c. c.

Titus is at present a special secretary of the h. ternational Committee of the Y. M. C. A. with headquarters in New York. He is just now returning to his field at Ei Paso, having finished the build ins fund campaign at Phoenix for an association building where $l02, 900 was raised for a building for the young men of Phoenix, and Mr. Titus told at the meeting of the board yes terday of the record campaign. About lO70 people subscribed to the fund, the average for each one being about $95. When the idea of an association build ing for Phoenix was first conceived t was thought that $60.000 would be about the right smount for a city the size of Phoenix to contribute. The movement has grown from a small meeting of four, held months ago, un- til over loo men left their business and took active part in the campaign A monday lunch was held each of the eleven days the campaign lasted. Re- ports were received from the various committees; $500 was the least amount reported by any of the com mittees at any one time during the campaign. The spirit of cooperation and civic pride predominated through out the campaign and Phoenix in her generous giving has set record for the entire country A feature of the campaign was the little red badges worn by every one in Phoenix who had subscribed to the fund On the badges was printed the words Have You" meaning. have you subscribed to the r.

Many of the men who had an active part in the campaign though they suffered in their business interests, declare it was well worth the time and effort spent, and that they were well repaid To Phoenix it has been of inestimable value.

 A strong force of troops lined the space in front of the grandstand. half a hundred secret service mea mixed with the crowd and everybody who attempted to cross Lees parade to get 10 the grandstand was stopped. When the President left the stand he was hemmed in on every side by the secret service men and detectives who were never more on the alert.
