Special Homestead Examiner Here.

Mr.. P. ID. Kelleter, of Washington, D.
c., was an arrival in Custer Saturday.
Mr.. kelleter is connected with the For
est Service, and came to the Black Hills
as special examiner of homestead appli-
cations that have been filed with the
Forest Service as provided by the Act
of June IL, 1906. He has established
headquarters at the Kleemann House,
and all those who intend to apply for a
homestead claim under the provisions of
this Act should at once get into touch
with the examiner Mr.. Kelleter is ac-
companed by c. w. Fitzgerald, who is
also connected with the Forest Service.
The Act of June IL, 1906, opens up for
settlement under the homestead law all
lands chiefly valuable for agriculture and
not needed for administrative purposes
by the Forest Service. Before, however
settlement can be made upon these ag.
ricultural areas they must be examined
and listed by the examiner Already
there are over 225 of them on file, and
so far but very few settlers have filed
on lands that could for any reason be
considered more valuable for forest pur-
poses than for agricultural purposes.

Unfair and Dlsreputable.

OF all the scathing attacks that have
| ever been made upon the Standard Oil
| Company, their report of the Interstate
| Commerce Commission submitted to
Congress last week is certainly the most
severe. There has been no private or
official document on the subject of the
great oil monopoly that has come any
where near the severity with which this
report handled the gigantic corporation
The Commission was careful to state that
all the facts upon which its conclusions
were based were accumulated from tes-
timony given under oath. With this
statement the Commission proceeded
| calmly to dissect the Standard Oil Com
pany in fashion that has never before
been equaled in a government report.
1t declared that the company for years
had maintained paid spy system
whereby the secrets of its competitors
were bought from the competitors own
employees, it said "the ruin of its com.
petitors has been a distinct part of the
policy Of the Standard Oil Company in
the past, Systematically and persstently
pursued" 1t charges that the Standard
has tampered with the oil inspectors in
various states, has bought advertising
space In the newspapers which it has
paid for at advertising rates, and killed
with alleged news matter favorable to
the Company, has operated independent
oil concerns as such after they had been
bought by the Standard in order to fool
the public, has sold three grades Of oil
at varying prices out of the same barrel
and has used every possible means for
destroying competition wherever it ex.
listed and subsequently taking the price
OF its victory out of the pockets of the
consuming public. The report charac.
terizes the operations of the Company as
unfair and dsreputable," and adds,
this policy of killing competition at any
cost has been pursued without much
reference either to decency or con-
sciene. 1t says that where independent
concerns have been able to exist at all
they have been forced to sell the most
of their product abroad where the laws
of foreign countries gave them protec-
ton that is denied them in the United
States.
The conclusion drawn by the Com
mission is that the existing law is in
adequate to cope with the evils com
planned of and that it will be necessary
to separate entirely the production Of
oil from its transportation, because it
has been largely through unfair advan-
tages in the transportation of oil that the
Standard has been able to fasten its grip
of monopoly on every community in the
United States.
The report is most remarkable docu-
ment and very scathing arraigment Of
the Standard Oil Company, but it is
doubtful whether its publication will
have any permanent effect in securing a
square deal for the public and allowing
the Independent oil producers to con.
tinue their work in peace. It's possible
that repeated attacks such as the Stan
dard has been subjected to, almost con.
tinuously for the past five years, may
have their effect in the end, and arouse
the government to some action that will
relieve the public from this greatest and
most conscienceless of all modern mon
opolies.

Mr.. f. Pennington, who represents

would be all very well if We could al
ways tell when q mine is worthy Of
praise and when it is not. Some mines

length open out into bonanza's. 1t is
only the veerest "tenderfoot" who would
have the timerity to draw the line and
say what mine will pay and what will
not. And these are the ones who, when
they get in position TO make laws, al
ways want to tinker with the mining
laws. 1t is something they know moth.

Mail Order House Loses FIRST Round.

A Sioux Falls dispatch under date of
February 4th says, Judge Garland, of
the United States court in this city, has
denied the application of Montgomery
Ward & Co., of Chicago, for temporary
injunction restraining the officers and
directors of the South Dakota Retail
Merchants and Hardware Dealers asso
citation and Editor T. J.. Mannix of the
Commercial News of this city, from con-
tinuing their alleged boycott against the
Chicago concern.
The great importance OF the decision
is due to the fact that bad the plaintiff
company won out in this case, there is
little doubt it was the intention Of the
concern to institute similar actions in
other states where merchants associa-
tions are waging a relentless warfare
against the encroachments of the mail
order houses.
The action was instituted by the Chic
ago mail order concern as the outgrowth
OF a fight which has been made in South
Dakota against the extension in this
state of the business of the mail order
houses. The aid Of the jobbers and
wholesalers was sought, and they were
urged TO stand With the retail dealers as
| against the mail order concerns.

MINING Items.

No word has yet been received from
the test on the carload Of ore from the
Granite Reef mine which Mr.. Hazlett
took to Denver.
A new strike of mineral has been
made on the Francis ground on Spring
creek where two foot vein has lately
been uncovered of very dark heavy
mineral. This ore is thought to be large.
ly composed Of zinc, but no analysis has
been made as yet and its constituents
have not been ascertained. This vein
is separate and remote from the sui lphide
mine and also from the copper and may
prove valuable acquisition to the prop.
erty.
There is rumor on the street that
Mr.. Harry Francis has consummated a
deal, and that the vast body of sulphide
ore which he owns on Spring creek will
soon pass into other hands. We have
heard too that the purchasers of this
valuable holding are the wealthy and
powerful syndicate known as the Du-
pont Powder company. We have heard
too that the purchase price of this prop.
erty is no less than $50O0000, and that
the time of the bond is short one
How true all this is we cannot say, but
we suspect that it is a bona fde fact.

Friday witnessed the defeat of the
county option bill in the South Dakota
house of representatives by the pro
nounced majority ofeighteen with seven
absent and not voting. Generally the
cities OF off the tho state were opposed to the
measure, as it gave the rural voters with
in county an opportunity TO direct an
affair of municipality, nor were the
voters anxious to assume the privilege.
The bill was backed by the organized
prohibition force of the state and there
was little local interest in its favor.

JANUARY's GOLD SHIPMENTS.

The month of January, 1907, will stand
for n long time as the banner month for
the United States assay Office, so far as
shipments of gold are concerned. AL
though number ofthe producing mines
Of the Black Hills have been closed
down since the first of the year, it has
not seemed to make any difference in
the amount of bullion which has been
received at the office, in fact, the amount
has exceeded by over 100000 that Of
any month for a year past. This is a
good showing for a country which is
troubled with the difficulties now beset-
ting the Hills and speaks well for its
future. There is nothing wrong with
the Hills. and they will he producing

TAFT TOOK THIRD.
Hackettstown Wins Interscholastio
 Meet at Middletown,

The Centenary Collegiate Institute of Hackettstown won the ninth an- nual interscholastic meet under the auspices of Wesleyan university at Middletown on Saturday, making a total of P points. The totals made by the other contestants were: Hart ford g, Taft's 10, Springfield 13, Wyoming seminary II, Mt Vernon 3, New Haven 6, Gunnery school ], Hol- yoke 1 New Britain o. The high jump was the deciding event. First place in this event would have meant victory for Hartford. Howard Case, who had won first and second in the high and low hurdles. was not in shape to do good work and the best he could do was to tie for third place.
 Faraday of Haekettstown won the largest number of individual points, his total being fifteen, made from cap turing three first places. Walter Patterson scored the highest for Hart ford, wining one first (220-yard hurdle) and two seconds, total of eleven points and Howard Case came second with a first. u20-yard hurdlel, sec ond and tie for third, making eight and one-half points. We're Burdick and Edward Babcock were the only men to win their monographs. Burdlck winning his in the 10o-yard dash and Babcock his in the high jump.
 The meet was notiesahly fast for the time in every event was close to the record and five of the old records were broken. Camp of Hacket;stown lowered the time for the SS0-yanl run from 2 minutes G 1-J seconds to 2 minutes 4-5 seconds and Faraday of Hackcttstown lowered his own time of last year for the 44O-ya-d run from g tO 51 seconds.

Of the Great Vurpillat's Visit to Waterbury
 ---Office in the
NEW BUCKINGHAM
Will Be Continued Permanently Has Made Hundreds of
 Friends Here.

This will positively be the last week of the Great Vurpillat's free band concerts, lectures and vaude- vile entertainments in Waterbury. During his stay here he has undoubt- edly made some wonderful demon strations as to the curative powers of his New Discovery and according to the testimonials his remarkable for mula has made some wonderful cures in cases of chronic stomach, kidney and liver complaints, rheumatism and catarrh.
 This young man has made hun dreds of friends in Waterbury by his philanthropy and also by the up- right and straightforward manner in which he conducts all his business.
 Saturday night. another large crowd assembled on the Bank street show grounds to hear this young man and see his demonstrations. Af- ter the opening sketch the Great Vur- pillat called for sick and suffering humanity to step on his platform and receive free demonstration. Among those to take advantage of the offer were the IOllOWlHg.
 MT James McCartin of 324 South Main street who was suffering from stiff hand caused from the hand be- ing broken over 30 years ago. MT ,McCartin said that his hand had been stiff for 30 years. In few mo- ment's time with the application of his New Discovery, Vurpillat re- lieved the pain and stiffness entirely.
 Another to obtain relief was Miss c. Horgain of 49S Baldwin street, who was suffering with deafness. Miss Horgain told Vurpillat that she had been deaf for 20 years and over Az ter having the New Discovery applied for few moments to her ears Miss Horgain could hear plainly and dis tinctly at distance of 60 feet. When people see these kind of demonstrations with their own eyes they are no longer skeptical. The sales Saturday night were enormous and the office was crowd ed all day Sunday, in spite of the in element weather.
 A wood saving contest for ladies was announced for the last night of his stay here. and already 20 names have been entered.
 The office in the new Buckingham building on Grand street will be con- tinued permanently, and will be kept open daily from 9 a. m. to p. m. Consultation, examination and advice free to all.
