Corn at $50 Per Acre.

Not only are prizes offered at the var
ious county, state and district shows for
the best ear or best ten ears of corn, but
the National Corn Exposition this year
is to give prizes to the boy or young man
under twenty-five years of age, who
grows the best two acres of corn.
This means big undertaking for
those who enter the competition, but it
was offered last year for the best acre of
corn and went to boy from Connecti-
cut.
The prize is offered by R. ii. Stock
ton, President of the Majestic Range
company of st. Louis. The best two
acres will be awarded 500 and the sec.
ond $50 in cash. The only condition
made is that Mr.. Stockton wants the
boys to write to him and let him know
when the corn is planted. Mr.. Stock
ton paid 500 last year to the New Eng
land boy who produced the best acre of
corn.
Samples will be shown at the exposi-
ton from the fields and displayed in a
special section Of the junior division.

A Pierre Home In the Hills.

We regard it as one of the substantial
advantages of Pierre that we are located
so accessibly to the Black Hills, for
there is not anywhere a more delight
some pleasuring ground than is present.
ed in that region of varied scenery and
healthful climate. Very many of our
citizens have already enjoyed rest and
recreation there, and even when the
way was difficult and wearisome many
made the pilgrimage for the benefit of
the satisfaction found at the end of the
journey, and now that the railroad has
made the trip but few hours journey,
the denizens of the capital city lift their
eyes to the Hills when rest is desired.
Therefore the movement to build a
Pierre home In the Hills is timely a
place where the citizens may foregath-
er, be at home with each other, enjoy
the comforts of good club at an easily
accessible point and from which every
portion of the beautiful Hills country
can be readily reached. The interest
and enthusiasm shown in the matter
promises that the enterprise shall be
an immediate success. Pierre Dakotan.

Old Stage Driver Dead.

Richard Wright, one of the best
known figures in the Black Hills in the
early days, passed away at the State
Home, Saturday, April 10, 1909, aged 73
years.
Mr.. Wright was one of the early set.
tiers in this part of the state and was
known by all the old residents. Before
the railway put through from Pierre,
west he drove stage between that place
and Deadwood. Later he made trips
between this place and Rapid City, and
his last stage driving was between this
place and Minnekahta before the Burl-
ington line was built. He has been an
inmate of the State Home for some time
and old age was the principal cause Of
bis death. He has no near relatives ex.
cept one brother in the east.
He was a member of Company 3, 2lst
Iowa Infantry, during the Civil War.

CUSTER CITY, APRIL
Important Land Once Ruling.

A matter of interest to homesteadefs
is the amendment of Section 1872, U.
s. R. s., referring to entries enormously
made and the action that may be taken
to rectify the error. The Rapid City
Land Office has kindly furnished the
Telegram with copy of the amendment
which has only recently been issued !;
Sec. 1872, U. S. R. s., amended.
"Sec 1872. In all cases where an en-
try, selection or location has been or
shall hereafter be made of tract ofland
not intended to be entered, the entry
man, selector, or locator, or, in case Of
death, his legal representatives, or when
the claim is by law transferable, his or
their transferees, may, in any case com
ing within the provisions of this section
file his or their affidavit, with such ad-
ditional evidence as can be procured,
showing the mistake as to the numbers
of the tract intended to be entered and
that every reasonable precaution and
exertion was used to avoid the error,
with the register and receiver of the
land district in which such tract of land
is situate, who should transmit the evil
dence submitted to them in each case,
together with their written opinion,
both as to the existence of the mistake
and the credibility of the every person
testifying thereto, to the Commissioners
of the General Land Office, who, ifhe be
entirely satisfied that the mistake has
been made and that every reasonable
precaution and exertion has been made
to avoid it, is authorized to change the
entry and transfer payment from the
tract enormously entered to that intend
ed to be entered if the same has not
been disposed of and is subject to entry,
or, if not subject to entry then to any
other tract liable to such entry, selec-
ton or location; but the oath of the per-
son interested shall in no case be deemed
sufficient in the absence of other corrob-
Grating testimony, to authorize such
change of entry, nor shall anything here
in contained affect the right of third
persons"

South Dakota Health.

South Dakota has been officially la
belled the most healthful state in the
union.
The government has just issued a re-
port based On statistics from fifteen
states, which shows that the death rate
in the Sunshine state is lower than any
other of the fifteen. According to this
report which was issued by the census
bureau, the death rate in South Dakota
for 1907 was about 9.S per 200 inhabi.
tants. California, usually supposed to
be healthful state, has the bad emf
nence of possessing the highest death
rate Of any of the fifteen states report
ing-with 1876 death to every 1000 peo-
Pile. In 1906, according to the census bu-
reau, South Dakota's death rate was but
s.S per 1000 population.
The returns indicate that those peo.
pie who would avoid tuberculosis should
come to the pure air of South Dakota
rather than to 60 to Colorado or to
California or some of the other widely
advertised states. There were fewer
deaths from the dread white plague in
this state in 1907 than in any of the
others.
Curiously enough, however, the
death rate from the ~hooping cough was
greater in this state than in the others,
showing an increase, while others show
ed decrease from this disease of child
hood.
On the whole, the man who is in
search for health, or who being health
full desires to maintain that pleasant con-
dition, can find no better state for his
purpose than South Dakota.-Rapid City
Journal.

School Exhibit.

A few days ago the CHRONICLE reporter
stepped into the Office of the County
School Superintendent and Miss Heum-
phreus called his attention to the school
exhibit that adorned the walls, showing
proficiency of scholars in the various
grades. The work of the primary grades
is remarkable. To fully portray each
exhibit is beyond our ken. They must
be seen to be appreciated and realize
what good the teachers are doing for
the pupils in their charge. Every par
ent should see this exhibit and praise
the work-thus encouraging the pupils
to strive for greater honors and show
the teachers that you appreciate their
efforts in behalf of the children.
We believe if parents would visit the
schools oftener and manifest an interest
in the children's mental welfare, that the
pupils would be more jealous in their
studies and advance to the grades more
rapidly. If you cannot visit the school
help your children at night with their
studies, if they need help, ifthey do not,
quiz them about their recitations and let
them know you are anxious for them
to progress in their studies (no matter
what grade they may be in), and our
word for it their report cards will soon
show that your efforts and encourage
ment have been rewarded by a more
earnest endeavor to gain knowledge,
and win the praise of both parent and
teacher.
By showing an interest in your chiid's
education it will crafty the teacher and
she will have more patience with the
scholar whom it is hard to grasp vexed
problems, if she is aware its parents are
urging and encouraging it to compre-
hend the necessity of an education.

Yer1a has a aooe properly.

A. ]. Yerxa has undertaken to raise
capital for the development of his
ground in the Custer district and will
make an effort to have systematic line
of work in progress during the coming
summer. He has held the ground for
some years and has always devoted a
part of his time TO its development, but
his saw mill interests have kept him
from giving the property the attention
which he believes it merits. Last fall
he met with misfortune in the burning
of his saw mill and as he has not rebuilt,
he is practically out Of that line of busi-
ness for the present at least. He now
intends to turn his attention TO bis min
ing property and will give its develop
ment his best efforts.
The Yerxa group 81 claims lies on up
per Spring creek in the Custer district
and adjoins the Grand Junction proper
ty. 1t is supposed to contain an extern
sion of the vein system of the latter
ground and is regarded by we'll inform
ed mining men as one of the promising
prospects of that locality. There has not
been done any deep work but what de-
velopment has been accomplished near
the surface has shown up some we'll de-
fined ledges. The principal ledge, which
has a width of about eighty feet be-
tween walls, has been traced for a dis
tance of 200 feet along the surface and
is said TO be of fair milling value. The
rock is of the same character as that
found in the Grand Junction property
and ought to be of a profitable milling
material with improved methods of
treatment.
The Grand Junction property was one
of the early important discoveries in
the Custer district and has been opened
up to some depth. 1t contained some
rich shoots of ore and larger deposits of
lower grade. A stamp mill was erected
on the ground in the early days and
some good cleanups made, but the great
er part of the ore was found to hold its
value in a refractory state and was not
amenable to amalgamation alone. With
the proper kind of a treatment plant
in operation, the Grand Junction mine
should today be among the producers
of the Southern Black Hills.-Pioneer-
Times

Several persons haye asked the super
intendent of late, "What is Esperanto"
Esperanto is language invented for the
purpose Of giving the world universal
medium for the exchange of thought.
Poland is the birth place of this inter-
national language which has so many
strong adherents in every nation in the
world at the present time. For years
an effort has been made to establish a
language that all nationalities might
learn but all efforts haye failed, and
time alone will prove whether Esper-
anto will meet the demands for uni
versal language. Those who haye stu
died it are enthusiastic oyer its merits
and the ease with which it may be
learned. A ffourishing organization of
Esperantoists has been organized in
Sioux Falls, including in its member
ship some of the most intelligent and
best educated persons in the city.--Ar-
