large in volume as the season of 1906.

Cold and Stormy Month.

January has been for this favored
climate a cold and stormy month, and
though the cattle around the Hills are
not doing well there is not thus far any
very serious loss. We regret that this
cannot be said Of the ranges in Montana
and the country north of us, where the
condition is even worse than has been
previously reported. Cattle and sheep
in that country are dying by the thous
ands and many cattle and sheep men
will loose their whole herd.
The climate is gradually changing,
the annual precipitation is increasing
the snow fall in winter is getting heavi-
er each year, and it is plain that the
practice OF ranging cattle on the prairie
without other feed must be abandoned
The business is getting too precarious
for prudent men to engage in and this
winter we think will convince all those
who have been used to raising cattle
without feed TO sell out and quit the
business. True, it is very profitable
when the seasons are favorable, but il
involves too much risk and is bad prac
tice even from humane standpoint and
should be discouraged.

Home Trade.

There is and has been for many years
an idea prevalent in the minds of many
of our people that our home merchants
take advantage Of them by, asking an
unreasonable price for their goods
Whether this be true or only imaginary
we cannot say, but it has led many to
send away for their dry goods and other
supplies, and in consequence their trade
has gone to build up and enrich the big
department stores and catalogue houses
in the cities of the east This, whether
deserved or undeserved, is all wrong 1t
Is wrong in principle, wrong in spirit,
and wrong in the deadening effect it has
upon the prosperity of our town and
every interest that is vital to the up
building of our community.
Now let US see if we cannot correct
this vicious and damaging state of af-
fairs and get together and treat each
other descently. Our Commercial Club
now numbers III of the best respected
and most representative men in the
county, both in the country and in the
town. We have come together with the
avowed purpose of promoting the inter
ests of the whole community and each
has pledged himself to do what he can
to build up the town Of Custer. We can
not do this by pulling apart, we must
pull together. Let us cease all petty and
selfish jealousies and work with lib.
eral and united purpose, and a hearty
good fellowship. In this way, and this
way only, can we do each other any
good, or achieve the results we have in
view. We would exhort our merchant
to sharpen their pencils and mark down
their goods little and put confidence
in the public to show their appreciation
by giving them their trade. We would
eXhort our people, whether citizens,
ranchmen or miners, to buy their goods
of the home merchant. Confde in your
merchant to sell his goods as low as lie
can and make a fair and legitimate profit
and when he gets your trade he will
show his appreciation by not departing
from this rule Do this and soon we
will see the waste places in our town
fill up, our shanties give place to more
stately buildings. Do this and our town
will become attractive to capital and
our mine owners will reap benefit by
a better chance to dispose of their hold
lngs 1t will be better in every way.

Ford McLanehlin Dead

Died at his home in Custer City on the
25th Of January, 1907, Thomas Ford Nc
Laughlin in the 44th year of his age
Mr.. Mclaughlin was born in the town
of Lafayette, Iowa, November 20, 1868,
and came to the Hills with his parents
in 1883 where he has since resided He
was joined in marriage on April 25th :,
| 1887, to Miss Francis Burns, and from
this union there was born two children
The eldest a boy named Burns Nc.
Laughlin, who died when II months
old, and daughter, Bessie who, togeth-
er with his brothers and sisters still sur
viye.
Coming to Custer at the early age Of
twenty Ford was essentially a Custer
boy as more than half of his short life
was spent in this community. There
was no one better known or had more
friends than Ford, and it has been truly
said of him that he never went back on
friend. Up to the time that the hand
of disease was laid heavy upon him he
was strong, tall, stalwart, handsome
man and kind to every living thing.
He was generous in his impulses and
none were more ready to respond to the
appeal of distress. He was enterprising @
in the highest degree, and as prospec
tor and promoter of the mining interests
of our district he was second to none
He goes from our midst as sincerely and
widely mourned as any man who has
departed from among us and there are
left wide circle of friends who "wll
miss the touch of vanished hand and
the sound of voice that is still"
We extend to his wife and daughter
who are left to weep the departure of
kind and indulgent husband and father,
our sincerest sympathy, and also to his
brothers and sisters who are left to
mourn. We would say to them let not
your souls be troubled over much for he
| has but quit the scene where naught but
pain and misery attended his every
breath, to be welcomed by those loved
ones gone before to better and bright
| er world.

erning the time for fishing, etc Here
are the clauses which govern hunting Of
deer, which is of considerable interest
to residents of the Hills
No person shall hunt, cater, take, kill
ship, convey or cause TO be shipped or
transported by common or private car
rier to any person, either within or with
out the state, or purchase, expose for
sale, have in possession or under con-
troll at any time, antelope, elk, deer or

House Bill No. SS.

The following is copy of bill intro.
duced by Mr. Pennington of Lawrence
county in our legislature and may be-
come a law. We regard it as open to a
very serious objection, from the fact that
the apportionment of the money re.
ceived is predicted upon false basis,
and is therefore inconsistent and unjust.
In our opinion this money should be dis.
tributed to each county, based upon the
amount of timber cut and sold from each
county, and not in proportion to the
amount of revenue received by each
county from all sources. In accordance
with this bill both Lawrence and Pen
nington counties might receive three
times as much as Custer county, although
Custer county might furnish three times
as much timber cut and sold as either of
the other counties. We detect in this
q very shrewd scheme to cheat Custer
county out of her fair and just proper
ton of what is by right coming to her.
We object to that portion Of Section |

The Pierre CapitalJournal says that
no state school nor endowment lands
will be offered for sale the present year,
that decision having been reached by
the state lands board at their meeting.
This puts the leasing dates all on March
10, there being no need of change which
would be required TO meet dates. The
minimum lease price was given an up
ward trend ranging from seven cents
per acre west of the Missouri river, ten
cents in the counties along the east bank
of that stream, and from that on up to
81 per acre in Union county. The in
crease in lease price will help swell the
fund for the schools.
