Burton of Kansas.

Ex-senator Joseph Ralph Burton of
Kansas is on a speechmaking tour in
Kansas lambasting his enemies at a
great rate. 1t is said that he is draw
ing large audiences. He is a good
deal Of an orator; consequently that
report is by no meal incredible.
Moreover, many Kansans believe that
Burton was prosecuted and convicted
of a technical violation of the law not
so much because he had violated the
law as because he was in the way of
certain politicians in Kansas and else
where. So, taken all in all, Burton is
quite likely to be a thorn in the side of
the Republican party Of the Sunlower
State for many moons.
So at last Robert Marion La Toilette
had his way in the matter Of choosing
his senatorial mate in lieu Of Hon.
John G. Spooner, resigned. Multimil-
lionaire Stephenson, who has acted as
La Follette's angel in money matters
for years, captured the plum. One OBJ

La Follette's camp, thereby certainly
giving that pompadour statesman much
trouble, with the hope of giving him
his coup de grace. That it gave him
trouble, much of it. there is no doubt,
but the result shows that he has not
received his quietus.
In this practical age everything is
being converted to the use Of man.

No Change to be Made.

In view of late development it is not
probable that the meeting to change the
place of holding the annual encampment
of the G. A. X. department of South Da-
kota, and auxiliary organizations next
June from Hot Springs to Sioux Falls
will be pressed further, says a special
from Sioux Falls.
Under the belief that the railroad ex-
tensions now in course of construction
from the Missouri river to the Black
Hills will not be completed by the time
the encampment is held, and the further
belief that the national sanitarium now
in course of construction at Hot Springs
would not be completed by that time, il
was believed to be agreeable to the peo
pie of Hot Springs to change the place
of holding this years encampment and
hold subsequent encampment of the
q. A. r. at Hot Springs.
However, it now appears that the ma
tional sanitarium at Hot Springs will be
opened on April and that the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad company
fully expects to have its Missouri river
Black Hills extension completed so that
trains can be running from the eastern
TO the western portion of the state by
June 20, which would enable those de
string to attend the encampment tC
make the trip through western South
Dakota instead of the route heretofore
utilized through northern Nebraska.

Mining Items.

Mr.. Frank Hebert, the present Supt.
of the Clara Belle mine, was in Custer
on business few days ago. He reports
all going smoothly at his camp, drifting
continues on the 250.foot level and daily
expecting to strike the rich vein of ore
which they left in the old incline. When
this is accomplished and the new ten
stamp mill is again running on ore that
goes from SO to $50 per ton, times should
be good in that neck of the woods in a
short time.
Three car loads of machinery arrived
in town Monday last, consigned to the
Ideal Mining company of Custer and the
same is being hauled by wagons to the
mine today. This consists of an ali
compressor complete and OF large capa
city which will be Immediately installed
OH the property and the work of running
their long tunnel will be resumed with
augmented force. The property is stu
ated about twelve miles southeast from
Custer on high mountain forming the
Iron creek divide locally known as Sheer
Mountain. We have heard it described
as very large and extensive body o
ore of good grade, but the writer having
never seen the mine as yet canno
speak intelligently of its merits. W.
hope to be able to visit the locality il
the near future, and then we may hav,
more to say about it. Mr.. Il. +. Conove

Letter From Fred Wiehe.

Our old friend Fred Wiehe has again
been heard from. Under date of Feb
ruary 9th he writes from Knowles, Cali.
fornia, as follows:
think it about time to give an ac-
count of myself as l promised my old
Custer friends to let them know about
my doings through the CHRONICLE. Well
to begin with, will say, that like Cal.
ifornia very much. The climate, at
present, cannot be excelled in any coun-
try. The grass is green, the grain grow
the morning, crisp and invigorating, al
though later in the day it is rather lit.
tie too warm for comfort. Now this
may seem a little overdrawn for you
people in a northern climate, but never
theless it is a fact.
am glad to hear that Custer is pros.
pering, for although / never intend to
return to the Hills l still have a warm
spot in my heart for my friends there of
many years standing. | saw letter
yesterday, written by VIM. Allison to
Herman Gaughenbaugh, which gave a
very accurate description of the condi-
tons of Custer at the present date, all
corroborated by the CHRONICLE which |
received today.
Albert and have been working in a
Co I.,N
have now bought 100 acres of good land
over in Mariposa county where we in
the future will be engaged in gardening,
fruit raising and placer mining. A mug
get was found last week not far from
our place weighing $4,000, so you see
that we have some ind ucements to work.
Altogether, | can't see why we should
not do well here. All products are high.
Potatoes, today, are selling readily at
S3. 90 per 100 lbs, butter 40 cents, eggs
30 cents per dozen, and everything else
in proportion. Common labor is 81. 50,
mining wages from $500 to 1926, eight
hour shifts. In fact, everything is love.
ly here, except the japanese question.
If Roosevelt was here now | am afraid
he would be mobbed, and really could
not blame the people much either. Well
as | have no more to write | will come
to close with best wishes to all my
Custer friends.
Fraternally yours,
FRED WIEHE.

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Bakin q
Powders.


The cheap baking powders haye but
one recommendation; they certainly
give the purchaser plenty of powder for
his money but it's not all baking pow
der; the bulk is made up of cheap mate
rials that have no leayening power
These powders are 80 carelessly made
from inferior materials that they will
not make light, wholesome food. Fur.
ther. these cheap baking powders haye
a very small percentage of leavening
gas; therefore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to raise
the cake or biscuit as it does of Calumet
Baking Powder Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer Of
the cheap powders is more than Calum.
ct would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
and acid, sometimes yellow and alkal.
inc, and always rnpalatable. They are
never of uniform strength and quality
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon? Calu-
met is always the same, keeps indefi
nitely and gives the cook the least trou.

The Mica Industry.

| The interest in mica is still kept up.
| Considerable development is going on
and prospectors are occasionally making
new finds. This We anticipate will con-
, tinue until Custer will be known far and
wide as the head center for the produc-
, ton of mica in the United States.
Mr.. John w. Cooper arrived In Custer
on the 10Th to look over the mica situ-
alton at this place and the general con-
dition of the affairs of the Westinghouse
company both of the factory and the
mines. We have not heard that there
was any complaint of the manner in
which the business was being conducted
at this end Of the line, but from what we
can learn there is not near enough mica
produced at present o supply the de-
mands of the factory at East Pittsburg,
and an effort will be made to increase
the product here. The mines we un-
derstand is producing about one ton
per day, which considering the fact that
they are still developing by sinking and
drifting is an excellent yield under those
conditions. When greater depth has
been attained in the shaft and slopes
have been established on the different
levels, the mines should, and probably
will produce five times as much mica as
it yields at the present time.
These things are not generally under.
stood by those not familiar with the
working of mines and they expect a
mine to yield as much at the start as at
any stage of the work. We have not
heard from the lips of any one having
authority to make the statement, but
! from all we can CLEAN from parties in
terested the removal from Custer Of the
mica splitting department to Denver has
not thus far proved as profitable as was
anticipated, and it is not improbable
that eventually that department will
again be returned to Custer. OF course
the company will manage their business
in their own way as they have perfect

US that getting their prepared mica to
Pittsburg by two steps instead of one
was a waste of time and money. il
means double wagon haul, double rail.
road transportation, double loading
! double work, double superintendence
and the maintenance of two establish
ments instead Of one. Taking all these
things into consideration it is difficult to
see where the economy comes in, but il
| is none of our business and We forebeaI
saying anything more about it at this
time. The present Supt. informs Us
that he has a new splitting table put in
place in the factory which will furnish
employment to all their operatives
where heretofore some were compelled
to remain idle good part of the time
We.are not disposed to make any com

VIII Finish Milwaukee by June lst.

Trains will be running through from
Chamberlain to the Black Hills on the
Rapid City extension of the Milwaukee
road by June /, according to a careful
estimate by J. q. Love, division freight
and passenger agent for the Milwaukee
road, who has kept in touch with the
progress of construction work, says the
Sioux City Journal of the 18th. The
opening of the Black Hills line early in
the summer will be of considerable i'm
portance to the thousands of homestead
ers who as soon as warm weather comes
will begin to pass through Sioux City
and establish residence on South Dakota
claims, Many will take up claims at the
west end of the Rapid City extension,
which can be reached only at the pres.
ent time by long detour over the
Northwestern line in Nebraska.
For the products of Sioux City jobbers
and manufacturers, Sioux City travelling
men and Sioux City newspapers, the
opening of the new line will bring the
Black Hills territory with a half dozen
important towns, nearer to this city by
several hours. Milwaukee officials have
announced that one train will leave
Sioux City in the morning and reach
Rapid City in the evening while another
will leave Sioux City in the evening and
arrive at Rapid in the morning. This
service will not be established until the
roadbed has been put into better shape
than it will be in by June /.
All construction work on the Rapid
City extension and the coast line from
Evarts has been abandoned and will not
be resumed until warmer weather is as
sured. Scrapers and wagons have been
put under cover, and few outfits have
pulled up stakes entirely, with the in
tention of returning a month or six
weeks later. Between fifty and sixty
miles of track remain to be laid on the
Rapid City line.

Perry Bertschy Dead,

1t is with feelings of pain and regret
that we received the sad news of the
death Of one of our old time boys, Perry
Bertschy, which occurred at Goldfeld,
Nevada, on the 18th of February, 1907 i.
Perry was a good, square boy if there
ever was one, and it is all the more re.
gretable that he should be taken away
Just as he had reached the age of the
flower of manhood and dame fortune
had begun to shower her treasure upon
him. His sickness was Of short dura-
ton. The fell disease pneumonia which
is now sweeping like scurge through
all the mining camps of Nevada claimed
| Perry for it's victim. He was the last oi
the family on the male side and leaves
an aged mother and two sisters to mourn
his loss which to them is great loss in
deed. The two surviving children are
Mrs. John Good aud Mrs. Oscar Klien
the former of whom is living at Lo,
Angeles, California, and the latter ha,
charge of the home ranch at Sheridan
There are many good people in thi'
community where Perry was so wei
known who will join with as in SINGER,
regret and extend their heartfelt sym
pathy to the bereaved mother and sister
in this, their hour of sorrow and grief.
The remains are expected to pas
through Custer on the train today, OF
the way to Hill City, where the Masoni
fraternity of which he was an honore,
member will consign his body to tn
grave and his spirit to the God who CAV
it, with the solemn and beautiful ritua
of the Order. And thus we are calle,
upon to say farewell, but death is but al
incident in life and We shall meet again

must be something else, probably the absence of the temptation which exists in Europe, when great fortunes have been accumulated, to Ego out of 'busi- ness," and assume dignlfed positions among the leisured class. The excess slve feroeness of the industrlals, again, may be due in part to the alien blood which for a century has been pouring into the States in stream of increas- ing volume, and which IS now to great extent Latin and Slavic blood, and in part to the natural action of a Republic in making all It's citizens hate the very idea of inequality. It is, however curious fact to be care fully remembered that Republicanism, with it's corollary, the right of self government, though 1t extinguishes many evils. such as the permanent err TOT which arises from autocracy and the permanent servlllty which often accompanies monarchy, does not extin- guish, or even greatly diminish, social dangers of an acute kind. Socialism is much stronger in France, where the republic is obviously succeeding, than in England, where newspapers still re- cord the comings and goings of mon- archs as If they were the most import ant of occurrences, and where titles are still sought with almost unintelll- eible avidity.-London Spectator.
