cusrnR-NEw YORK GAME.

Custer took the Miners into camp
Sunday in the best played game of the
season and the few fans who turned out
to see New York bump the bumps all
pronounced it classy base ball and wan!
another game. Henschke pitched fine
game and had the local boys on his wa
gon. Clements would have secured a
shut out game but Pitcher got his fin-
gers split and had to retire in favor of
Witzsl in the sixth. Fee tried hard for
home run in the eighth when he
smashed a hard drive to Blondy who
made a fine catch. Peterson also de-
serves credit for pulling down a fast one
over first base. Pitcher scored both
runners on singles to the outfield. Both
teams deserve credit and if the boys
play Sunday don't fail to see the game.
There is also rumor of week day game
to be played soon between the upper
and lower town teams.
Following is a summary of the results
of the game:

The Girl who Works.

"The girl who works-God bless her" i"
She is brave and active; she is not
ashamed to be found at her daily task |;
she is studious, palnstaking and patient ;
she smiles from behind the counter or
desk; her smile is the reflection of celes-
tial grandeur and eternal bliss; there is
memory of her own sown into each
silken gown; she is like a beautiful
mountain; her character is pure as the
bubbling springs, strong as the rock
from which it flows, and high as the
mountains topmost pinnacle. The sight
of her should be fine inspiration for
US all. Her hands may be stained by
dishwater, sweeping, factory grease OIL
printers ink, but it is an honest and
helping hand: 1t stays misfortune from
many homes; it is one shield that pro
tects many forforn family from tn.
asylum. All honor to the girl WHIT
works.

Buffalo for Wind Cave Park.

]. Alden Loring, of Oswego, N. Y,
naturalist, hunter and member of the
Roosevelt party in Africa, arrived here
a few days ago and in company with
Congressman Martin has been looking
over the Wind Cave National Park with
a view to installing therein herd of
buffalo for the purpose ofpreserving and
propagating these animals, which are
now very scarce. Mr.. Loring repre-
sents the American Bison association,
which has already placed two herds, one
near Wichita, Kansas, and another on
the Flathead Indian reservation in Mon
tana. 1t is practically certain that a
herd will also be established in Wind
Cave Park. This will prove an addi.
tional attraction for tourists who visit
the Cave.-Hot Springs Times-Herald.

DRY FARMING SYSTEM.
An Open Letter From the Secretary of
South Dakota Association.

To the Editors of South Dakota Papers
Every day adds evidence to the accu'
mutation in hand supporting the argu.
ments of the Agricultural Department,
the International Dry Farming Congress
and our own Association.
In this phenomenally dry year, many
have succeeded in bringing to maturity
crops which would do credit to the hu-
mid conditions of Southern Illinois.
This has not been accomplished except
by the greatest effort and care.
Especial attention should be called to
the Dry Farming Congress, at Cheyenne
in October next. Persons wanting in.
formation in regard thereto or any other
matter along Dry Farming lines will be
most cheerfully answered upon writing
this Office.
The fact that those who have not sue
ceeded in raising crop this year, can
obtain a months leave of absence from
their claims should not be overlooked.
Applications should be made to the reg
lister and receiver of the United States
land Office in each district. They may
be made through any United States
Commissioner.
No fears should be entertained as to
the outcome of proper soil treatment in
our State. In the long run, larger crops
will result from the use of scientific
methods than can be brought from
normal rainfall added to the haphazard
methods of the past.
Your courtesy in making this letter
public will be appreciated
]. l.. SoULE,
Secretary Western South Dakota Dry
Farming Association.

"It's an i'll wind that blows no good"
The extreme dry weather is somewhat
of benefit to Henry Fritchell. Super
visor lines gave him a contract of max
ing eight large water tanks which will
be placed at different points in the For.
est Reserve to conserve water for range
stock, which is becoming a very serious
matter. w. H. Parsons has to drive his
stock five miles each day to water, and
doubtless other stockmen may have to
drive their cattle farther than that.

Peary Missed the Pole.

According to the report adopted by
Congress Peary did not reach the north
pole, even according to his own figures,
within one and one-sixteenth miles. So
as an exact fact, neither Cook or Peary
actually stood on the top of the earth.

people do to buying the most perfect

The summer tourist travel to the Black

The summer tourist travel to the Black
Hills is growing. 1t has been suggested
that as soon as the State gets title to it's
tract of land east of Custer, that if leases
for sites of cabins in the tract could be
provided for, many residents of the
eastern half of the State would take ad-
vantage of such opportunity to provide
summer outing places for themselves
and families on the tract. The State
has proposition to handle in this For
est Reserve, and must work out the best
method of handling it for the benefit of
the State as a whole, and for it's income
to the schools, by proper care can be
made paying tract for that purpose,
but 1t will require legislation fitted to its
conditions, and that may be hard to &C.

Governor Appoints ADVISORY Committee

Governor Appoints ADVISORY Committee
Governor VesSey writes in a recent
letter to the headquarters of the Ma,

that he has appointed An advisory COM
mittee with which the officers of tie
Irrigation Congress can cooperate in
making its coming meeting in Chicago,

to South Dakota.
Members of the advisory committee
appointed by the Governor are:

Charles Smith, Custer,
George Sanders, Caputa.
"Save the forests, store the floods, re-
claim the deserts, make homes on the
land" is the motto Of the National Irri.
cation Congress and clearly sets forth its
objects. OF particular interest is the
consideration the Congress will give at
this session to reclamation by drainage.
This year its sessions are held stimuli
taneously with the United States Land
& Irrigation Exposition and the Inter.
national Live Stock Show. These three
big events offer unusual opportunities
for communities to make known their
advantages to hundreds of thousands of
prospective farmers and settlers.
That interested States might make the
most of these opportunities, the sugges-
ton was made that their Governors ap-
point advisory committees. 1t is antici-
pated that similar committees will be
appointed by the Governors of Idaho,
North Dakota and other States.
