SENATOR PATRICK H.. M'CARREN DEAD AFTER
LONG ILLNESS FOLLOWING AN OPERATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-State SEN
ator Patrick H. McCarren died early
this morning at ST. Catherine hOspi-
tai in Brooklyn. The end was peace
full Shortly after midnight he kissed
his two nieces goodbye and lapsed in
to Inconsistencies. The last request
was that his aged mother would not
be told of his death until Monday, as
she is dangerously ill. McCarren was
operated on for appendicitis a year
ago, and never completely rallied.
For more than fifteen years McCar-
ren was dominant figure in New
York politics, a typical boss of the
type produced by Americas greatest
city. 1t is said he knew every man,
woman and child in his district, and
few have not been beneficiaries of his
favor.

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA SATURDAY, MARCH 20. 1909
City Park or DumpP

Upon the maps of Custer City are
portrayed beautiful park. In fact it
is one of the most picturesque places
in the Hills as to natural scenery. But
of late years it has been much neglected
and has been used as dumping ground
for trash such as, tin cans, sawdust etc.
In fact it now looks more like it had
been used as the biyouac of troop of
cavalry and cemetary for dead ami
mails. 1t is a disgrace to our fair city
and shame that it should have been
allowed to become so desecrated.
The reporter does not know who are
the care-takers of the park but if it be-
longs to the city the city fathers
should not only protect this park from
vandalism but should aim to improve
and adorn it to some extent each season.
We are aware that dumpage place is
necessary for the sanitary condition of
the town but it should be a mile or 80
from the city limits in gulch in some
remote place, not in the city park in
sight of the Burlington Route or
public highway as at present.
Now that the tuberculosis Sanitar-
ium is to be located here it will attract
lots of strangers to our fair city and we
should spruce up a bit. Our natural
environments are fair to behold and
they should be kept so. Even our
summer resort Sylvan Lake attracts
more and more visitors each year. It
is uphill work for the CHRONICLE to
expatiate upon our advantages to offer
the capitalist and investor and in show
ing the beauties of our surroundings to
the summer tourist when we take them
to the city park and haye them say;
oh, saw that as l came in on the
train, your ideas must be very primi-
tive if you call those heaps of sawdust
and empty cans beautiful.
Look well to the future welfare of
the city.

Good Advice,

Nothing is of greater importance to
any town which expects to make itself
distinctly visible on the map than live
commercial club or chamber of COM
merce. Energetic advertising of the
town as a whole is as necessary as is the
promotion of any business to it's propri-
etor. United effort is essential if We
would accomplish the best that we may,
and no man can afford to shrink his
responsibilities in matters relating to the
public welfare, for in such measure as
he so neglects them will his sins OF
omission work to his own disadyant-
age-in just plain dollars and cents. No
man ever gave his town good, whole
souled boost and failed ultimately to
profit in due measure. Let US get togeth
er-or, better still, let us work together.

Transfar of Indian Lands.


When the allotment of lands in the
Rosebud Indian Reservation was made,
It was specifically stated that the U. s.
Government should hold the same in
trust for 25 years. During this time the
lands we're not transferable. But it
seems there was some proviso whereby
the heirs of Indians holding allotments
could dispose of their share of the es-
tate, upon the approval of the Secretary
of the Interior and Indian agent.
At anyrate in looking over the alb
stract of records In the Office of register
of deeds in and for Custer county, State
of South Dakota, our reporter noticed
where the heirs of Osakin KIT, had dis
posed of several hundred acres of land.
The names there recorded were:
Come Amongst Them.
Big Belly.
Red Walking.
White Moose.
Big Willow.
Upon inquiry we learn that when the
old Indians holding allotments die, as
soon as their children come in posses
sion of the land they are persuaded to
sell for a nominal sum, and choice lands
are thus picked up by spectators for a
mere pittance.
All these conveyances bear the ap-
provaf Of some official in the Interior
Department, yet it seems to us the
Government should compel purchasers
to pay actual value for said lands, or in
few years the Indians upon the reser-
yaions will become a greater burden
than at present

Mr.. Editor: Because some irrespons

which they know absolutely nothing
and because some who hear of their talk
do not know of the unreliable source O. f

gence. The source from which the city
water is drawn, the well, and the storage
reservoir are and have been kept in good
condition, as many, who have frequently
and without previous notice accompa-
MED the undersigned in the perform
ance of his daily duties, can testify. 1t
has always been my desire to haye as
many of the people as l could get, go
either to the pump station, or to the
reservoir ESPECIALLY the latter and see
for themselves.
Never, to my knowledge, has there
been any dead animal in the resery oir.
Whenever you see me on my daily trip
to either the pump or to the reservoir
you may safely consider that you have
an invitation to accompany me. Should
you 60 to either place and find anything
wrong, then you would be justified in
making remarks about their condition.
Ladies and gentlemen would refrain
from comment in the absence of reliable
information, and you now have and al
ways have had the opportunity of get.
ting your information at first hand.
Custer has as uncontaminated source
of water supply as any town can have
and it is exceptionally easy to keep the
entire system in perfectly good sani'
tary condition. We have right, as q
municipality, to be proud of our pure
water supply. ~ w. McHoes.
