THAT CHEAP COOK BOOK.

The Republican party seems to have
no ready relief remedy to help the peo-
nile out of the present situation. high
tariff has lost its virtue and trust bus
ting isn't the panacea and cure-all Its
said it would be. Regula-
fling railroads and other things tried so
far has put no check on greed whatev-
er But now the great trio of Repub-
licans headed by Taft, has gotten out
a cook book that will instruct the
cooks of workingmen how to make the
cheaper cuts of beef taste like slrloln
and porterhouse steak and enable them
to fill the dinner pail at about the
same cost.
Now. I'm not going to recommend
this cook book to anyone save Repuo-
licans, for,I believe a man would nave

on before it would be able to digest
the connections recommended.
AS the Republican party has been
ready to swallow at a gulp everything
recommended from Washington, no
difference what, 1 guess they will &C
cent Uncle Jimmie's Cook Book and
want a college erected to teach the GU
linary art, and then claim the honor
of making a dinner of herbs taste like
meat and the pot liquor like gravy.
All of this is invented and fixed up for
the working man and his family so ne
won't complain about his dinner
bucket having the sweeny. A few
green persimmons ought to have been
recommended so as to draw up fell
lows stomach to fit his rations.
OF course with such superior talent
at the head of our agricultural bureau
we are not likely to get very hungry.
At least the Republican party seems
to have a far away and dim idea that
it is kind of thin tissue shield to
the poor and offers them cook book
to appease their appetite.

OBITUARY,

w LILLIAN c. FENwIcK was born in Will
liza msburg, Brooklyn, in the State of
New York, October "a, 1889. Died at
his home near Pringle, March %, 1910;
aged 20 years, 5 months and day.
He leaves a wife and three children,
all grown, to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Fenwick came to the Black Hills
in August, 1888. He located on home
stead near Pringle, where he reared a
family. He followed farming and stock
raising all his life. Deceased had long
been a sufferer from cancerous growth
of the liver; other complications set
ting in caused his death which occurred
on the farm where he had lived for
more than quarter of century. He
was an industrious citizen, upright in
all dealings with his fellow-man; kind
and accommodating neighbor who will
be missed in his community.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon at the Congregational church,
conducted by Rev. X. w. Powell, and
interment in Custer cemetery, his many
friends and neighbors following the re-
mains to the tomb.
Thus passeth away another pioneer OF
the Black Hills who helped pave the
way for prosperous people in the com.
ing generations.

Custer County Finance In Good Shape.

On March 5th the county treasurer
made call for the 6 per cent bonds
maturing January l and April |, 1910.
The amount to be redeemed at this date
is $3l 800 The treasurer has on hand
funds amounting to l3,500.00 which is
appliabe to the payment of these bonds.
The First National Bank of Custer City
proposed to the county commissioners
to take the balance of the 6 per cent
bonds amounting $lS,000.00 at per
cent at par, which proposition was &C
cepted by the commissioners thus max
ing a saving to the county of per cent
per annum on the SIS, 100000.
1t speaks well for the county to be
able to refund such large amount Of
our Indebtedness at such a low rate of
interest to our home institution. There
was time in the past when the county
had to pay from 6 to 10 per cent. per
annum and could not float the indebt-
edness without paying middle man a
commission, which expense are saved
and our bonds foated at as low a rate Of
interest as other counties in the Black
Hills.

On January 1st, 1909, the Modern
Woodmen of America opened their free
sanitarium, located near Colorado
Springs, Colo, for the treatment and
cure of members of the society afflicted
with consumption. Any beneficial mem
ber of the society suffering from this
dread disease is privileged to enter the
sanitarium, under the reasonable rules
for admission that have been establish
ed, and he will be cared for free of
charge. This is perhaps the greatest
work that is being done by any society,
either protective or fraternal, for the
benefit of stricken brothers.

SPRING IN THE LIMESTONE.

Awake! awake ye birds of song,
Shout shout aloud, ye myriad throng
Proclaim to all-both far and near
That welcome Spring is herel
The Crocuses have left their Winter bed,
And meath the trees their fragrance
spread,
The Pines assume greener hue,
Towering against the Heavens blue.
The kline 90 wandering through the
delIsj
How sweet the music of the bells,
When We hear the merry jingling sound
That tell to US, the COWS are found.
The Pussy Willow, fluffy and light,
Now greet US, in the sunshine bright;
And, as We cross the Custer Park,
We hear the song of the Meadow Lark.
Observe the Limestone towering high
Whose lofty SUBMITS pierce the sky.
Melted from off their sides the snow,
Warm lies the Valley-here below.
The farmer now, turns up the soil,
Preparing for his Winters spoil
For surely those who SOW their seed,
At Harvest time shall fill their need.
The Placer miner, with shovel, pick
and pan,
Goes forth with many well-laid plan
Forgetting not the maxim old
Placering is alright, if you find the gold.
The Sportsman doth uneasy feel
And soon will bring forth his rod and
reel.
Up to Ditch creek soon he'll HE,
And in its waters cast his fly.
And when he's landed haf-a-score
OF speckled beauty's on the shore,
He'll seek the fir trees spicy shade
Where glowing campfire is made;
And prepare as fine dish
AS any epicure could wish.
Your welcome, all, to come and try
The goodness Of this delicious fry.
The ladies now may be found
On the streets of Custer in new Spring
gown,
Discussing the merits Of the largest hat,
Or whose coiffure conceals the hugest
rat.
Some will tell how many eggs their
chickens lays
And of the fryers they intend to raise
How they will bring the very best,
To Custer-Gem City of the West.
Come, joyous Spring, come vernal
showers,
Fill all the woods with ferns and flow.
And let us all, with one accord [ers
Send forth Thanksgiving to the Lord:
For Health, Prosperity, and all
The many blessings that upon us fall.
And forget not, when the robin thrills,
It's Spring at last-in the old Black
Hills!

NATIONAL FORESTS RECOGNIZED.
Secretary Wilson has just issued an
order providing for a more liberal treat,
ment of bona fide squatters upon un.
surveyed land which has been included
within National Forests since the time
Of actual occupancy of the land by the
squatter.
Under the homestead law it is impos.
sible for any one to secure legal title to
unsuryeyed public land, but occupancy
pending survey is recognized as giving
| a prior claim to the land after survey,
under what is known as "squatters'
rights" A squattef who had, in good
faith, taken possession of a piece Of
National Forest land before the National
Forests were created is not dispossessed
of his claim by the Forest Service, and
if he lives upon it and cultivates it un-
til the land has been surveyed, he is
able to get his homestead just as though
he had settled on any part of the unre-
served public domain. But since the
passage of the Act of June IL, 1906,
which permits the Secretary of Agricul-
ture to list for settlement land which he
finds chiefly valuable for agriculture, it
has been possible for squatters to apply
for the listing of their lands under this
Act, and thus obtain title prior to the
government survey. The object of the
new order of the Secretary is to provide
for the listing of the full amount of land
which the occupant would receive if he
exercised his option of awaiting the
government survey, irrespective of
whether or not the entire area is cul
tivable; provided the claim is bona fde
and the land is not more valuable for
its timber than for agriculture.
Secretary Wilson's order is as follows:
"a person who has settled upon and
continuously occupied unsurveyed lands
within National Forest before its crea-
ton and is at the present time occupy
ing such lands in good faith and is in all
respects complying with the homestead
law, has the right to include within the
lines of his homestead l60 acres after
the land is surveyed. Therefore, if the
land is occupied for agricultural pur.
poses and is not more valuable for its
timber than for such purposes, and
there are no circumstances which would
in the opinion of the District Forester
tend to discredit the bona fides OF the
claimant, he should be allowed to make
application for the patenting of such
lands under the Act of June II, 1905,
and the examination for listing should
be made with a view of listing 100 acres
of land where possible. The tracts as
listed should conform so far as practic-
able to the form of the public land sur
veys. The listing of lands as above
should not in any way goTern determin-
alton of the total area or amount of non
cultivable land listed for applicants
under the Act of June II, 1906, who
were not residing upon the land before
the creation of the Forest.
"In cases where less than 100 acres OF
land has been listed to a person who
settled upon the land prior to the crea-
ton of the Forest, an additional area
sufficient to complete the homestead
entry may be allowed upon proper ap-
plication."

Auditors Meet and Establish Rates fol
1910 Assessment


A state convention of county auditors
was held at Pierre last week for the pur-
pose of fixing a uniform value on real
and personal property throughout the
state for assessment purposes.
Among other matters discussed were
the rates at which horses are assessed.
1t is generally agreed that the present
rates are unfair to the owners of horses
west of the Missouri river. East of the
river the horses are generally large and
of greater comparative value that the
horses west of the river. AS the auditors
have no power to change the rates,
which are fixed by statute, the matter
next legislature, which will assemble in
1911.
The valuation of personal property
was not changed except in the following
instances: Sheep were reduced from 50
to $3.50 per head, melodions and or,
gans from Sl2 to So, and pianos from
$40 TO sos.
Changes in the valuation of county
realty follow:
Aurora, SIS 25 to $3.50; Brown, $3.50 to
$40; Buffalo, S. to $3.50; Clark, $S so to
IS 10; Carson, SO to 81 Custer, 50. 60 to
S275; Douglas, $40 to 5000; Edmunds,
Sc to $3.50; Fall River, 1886 to So !;
