Record December in Hills

Deadwood-All records for Sc
we're December have been broken by
the cold and snow that has visited
the Black Hills during the present
month. Not since the white man
entered the Black Hills nearly thr-
ty-five years ago, has there been such
a severe December, according to the
records and memory of the oldest in
habtants. Although the weather bu
reau at Rapid City reports the aver
age for the month at 100 degrees
above zero for that section, it has
been even colder here and with such
frequent snow that Sleighing has been
fine the month long. In the matter
of snow this month has exceeded
every winter back to 1898 when
sleighing lasted for three consecutive
months but even this is likely to be
broken as there is as yet no sign Of
a letup in the cold. Despite the sever
ity of the weather, few losses of stock
or sheep have been reported from the
ranges in the vicinity of the Black
Hills.

Increased Price of Elk Teeth,

During the last five years the value
OF elk teeth has more than trebled,"
said a western traveller at the Fred.
eric. according to the ST Paul Dis
patch I'm 1904 you could get any num-
Der OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon
tana, Washington and bordering states
for 81 so apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that. The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident Of
an Oklahoman who bought a robe COW
cred with elk teeth from a Wichita
Indian for 500 He cut off the teeth
and cleaned up $4,000 on the deal

STATE GUARD
Will Train with Regulars in Wyoming
or Washington

Sioux Falls-It had been expected
that the South Dakota National
Guards would go into camp with the
regulars at some point in Texas next
summer. But Charles II. Englesby.
adjutant general recently received
word from the war department that
the guardsmen next summer, will go
to Fort Russell, Wyo., for their army
maneuvres. but the general is going
to make an effort to have the men
sent to American Lake, Wash, be-
cause it is thought that better in
structiOn and more practice will be
offered
American Lake is one of the great
est places for regular army concen-
tratiOn in the west and if the federal
officials can be induced to allow the
guardSmen to go to that place, Gene
raj Englesby is of the opinion that "A
great deal more good can be accom-
plished.
Fort Russell is large place but
not so we'll adapted as the other point.
At the next regular encampment of
the guard at Lake Kampeska there
will be three new companies, one at
Madison, Mitchell and Florence. The
Florence company is the oldest of the
new companies. but all have made
very good progress so far this winter.
and General Englesby expects at the
spring inspection that they will show
up in very good form.
The war department has issued 40
star gauge guns to the South Dakota
Guard, which will be distributed to
all who at the next encampment in
rifle practice are able to make the
rank of sharpshooter or better. The
guns are supplied with the new teles-
cope sights, which enables the men
to make higher averages.

OF the amounts carried in the two

things sent a delightful thrill through
the whole house. From basement to
roof there was laughter and JOY, even
the ones who have passed a three

and shout with the children. Neatly
prepared packages tied with holly
ribbon for every child were brought
by a kind hearted gentleman and his
wife.
About eleven o'clock on Christmas
morning the Elks Santa Claus amid
Jingle of bells arrived with twenty
five well-filled packages. For fifteen
minutes all stopped work to join in
the fun. Twenty three children
shouted, laughed, cried and screamed.
The cook forgot her mince pies to
join the throng, dancing, clapping
hands and shouting after old Santa

Railways. Everyone was happy and
would gladly have held Santa for an
hour, but he nimbly pranced his way
out of the front door, jumped into his
sleigh to bring cheer to other homes.

was that he had come. The waning

trees were Illuminated and every IN
