Tuesday Charles Baty stepped over the
74th round of his century ladder on lifs's
journey. He is hale, hearty and vigor-
GUS, and says he is going to step over
the top round of the ladder before leav-
ing this mundane sphere. He does not
agree with the song, "The years creep
slowly by, Lorena." He says they pass
swift enough for him. Here's hoping
he may still be hale and hearty when he
reaches the top of his century ladder.

ON TOP OF HARVEY PEAK.
National Forester Graves Visits Fire
Lookout Station.

On his trip throughout the West in
specting conditions on National Forests,
Forester Henry 8. Graves of Washing
ton, D. c., accompanied by District For.
ester Smith Riley, of Denver, Colorado,
stopped at Custer September 7th for the
purpose of going over with Supervisor
lines the conditions on Harney National
Forest.
The gentlemen were particularly in
terested in the Pine Tree Seed Extract
ing plant which has been built in Gus
ter. This is the first complete plant
which has ever been built in the United
States for the purpose of securing tree
seed; therefore, it is practically new
invention along this line. They were
well pleased with the plans and con.
struction of the seed extracting plant.
1t is thought that with but very little
more work it can be made an ideal
plant.
On September Sth, Messrs. Graves,
Riley and lines went to the top of Har-
ney Peak for the purpose of inspecting
the Fire Lookout Station, which is in
stalled at that point. Mr.. Graves was
very much pleased to learn how suo-
cessful the Lookout Station has been in
establishing the location of fires.
On the evening of the Sth, Messrs
Graves and Riley left Custer for points
throughout the West, where they will
visit other National Forests.
Attention is called to the published
statement of the Custer County Bank,
which appears in this issue ofthe CHRoN-
ICLE, as made to the Public Examiner OF
South Dakota. This bank has enjoyed a
steady growth for several years past,
and since their last published statement
have added $5,000.00 to the surplus ac-
count and together with their undivided
profits, now equal the Capital Stock
which is $25, 100000. This is home in
stitution the Capital Stock being owned
locally. The principle of this bank is
to provide every safeguard of stability
and conservatism, that insures lasting
mutual satisfaction; to offer every facil-
ity of modern banking methods, consis
tent with absolute safety.

INDIAN TRIBE NOT EXTINCT
California Expedition Discovers Rem
nants of kombos Near Head
Waters Of Sacramento.

San Francisco-An anthropological
expedition from the University of Cal
ifornia. under Professor Kroeber. has
reported the discovery of remnants of
a supposedly extinct tribe of Califor-
mia Indians near the head waters Of
the Sacramento river. The main body
of the tribe the Kombos, was exter.
minated in raid in 1870 by settlers.
According to the members Of the ex
petition. which has returned from the
north, there are about 20 in the tribs
at present. They were identified b.
arrow heads and other implements
found in their camps, although the
aborigines themselves are too wild t.
be approached.
The university will try to have them
rounded up by troop of United
States cavalry in order that their Ian
guage and ancient customs may be
studied in the interest OF ethnology.
Reports from sheepmen in Tehama
county that sheep had been found
killed by arrows led to the search for
he Indians.
