Appraising State Lands

State Land Commissioner Brink
er and State Auditor Anderson
are making fast time in travelling
over the state in their work of ap-
praising the state school lands.
The officials travel in Mr.. Brink
er's automobile, and are not de-
pendent on delayed trains, and
when they finish at one point they
can hurry off to another county,
and they are likewise enabled to
drive into the county to make a
personal inspection of a piece of
state land.
Dates have been set by the Off
cials for the sale and lease of state
lands, and it is believed that high
er prices will prevail.

Found His Claim Was jumped

Frank O'Brien of the PIONEER.
Times staff of Deadwood found
out last week that the pleasures of
homesteading are at times mixed
with a bitter draught. Fortunate
ly for the 2. T. pencil pusher,
events succeeded themselves in a
manner ultimately satisfactory to
himself.
Frank discovered upon arriving
at the ranch that another fellow
had taken possession, with the idea
of permanently remaining, firmly
fixed in his Uranium. Some per-
suasion was needed to convince the
intruder that the moment was
auspicious for his removal else
where, but the job was at last ac-
complished, and Mrs O'Brien will
hereafter be found holding down
the quarter section and all intend
ing claim-jumpers should take

Northwestern Apples

The Medical Council: Our ad-
vice to every one in the East and
the middle West is not to let any
one sell you acreage in Pacific and
Northwestern apple orchards to be
developed by the person who sells
to you. AS we have pointed out
before, apples are now being pro-
duFai in at least dozen of our
eastern and middle states equal in
value to the best of the western
apples and with much less expen-
sive marketing. In five years from
now fine apples will be staple
product and will be reduced to
competitive prices. This, aside
from the fact that the person sell
ing you the land may or not devel-
op the orchard for you as honestly
as you would do so yourself. An
apple orchard in the east will soon
be worth as much, acre for acre,
as in any part of the west.

Blaze at Bassett Residence

Wednesday morning at about
nine o'clock, the omnious clank of
the fire bell brought out the fire
department and most of the citi-
zens of the city. The home of
DR.. B. B. Bassett on West Pine
street, was on fire and the chem
ical engines were hurried to the
scene of conflagration. In less
than five minutes after the alarm
was turned in the fire laddies had
two streams of chemical thrown
onto the burning building, and
although the fire had apparently
obtained a good start and was
burning tiercely, in a short time
the blaze was squelched and the
greater part of the building saved
from destruction. The house
which DR.. Bassett was occupying
was the property of Mrs. E. NJ.
Merrigan, and the loss which will
be in the neighborhood of $4OO,
was covered by insurance which
was taken out but a short time
ago. The damage done to Mr..
Bassett's household goods was
slight, owing to the fact that
everything was taken out before
being injured by the fire or water.
The cause of the fire is a matter of
conjecture, as no one was in the
attic at the time the fire was dis
covered there, and the room was
not occupied by any member of
the family. The chemical engines
which have been considered as a
joke by some people, have again
demonstrated their worth in time
of emergency when handled by
men who understand the method
of using them.

The Gordon Stockade

BLACK Hills Industrial Review
Not single stick remains of the
Gordon stockade, built in the win
ter OF 1919 by the Gordon Rus
sell expedition, short distance
east of Custer. What a landmark
this remarkable structure would be
today if it had been preserved.
The Gordon stockade was with
out doubt the strongest wooden
fortitication ever built in the west.
When the expedition of gold seek
ers, the twcnty-six men and one
woman, who made up the first
company of white people to enter
the Black Hills region in search
of gold, found that they needed
protection from the Indians, they
began the construction of the fa-
nous stockade. This enclosure
was eighty feet square, the walls
being made of large pine trees
thirteen feet in length, which were
set into the ground three feet.
Smaller timbers were securely fast
ened between the timbers with
strong wooden pins, which formed
a close and solid wall of timber
about one foot thick through
which no Indian bullet could pene-
trate. Along two sides and one
end there were portfolios, about
eight feet apart, and at each of
the four corners there was a bas.
ton which stood out six feet from
the structure. The only entrance
to the encloser was through a large
wooden gate, built of hewn tim
bers rivited together with wood
en- pins. 1t was impregnable to
the Indians for which purpose it
was built.
There were several log cabins
built inside, three on each side and
one opposite the gate, the space
between the cabins and the walls
of the stockade being about six
feet. 1t was in one of these cab
ins that the late Mrs. Anna ID.
Talent, the first woman to enter
the Black Hills, spent the winter
of 1915. 1t was a low square,
one room affair, with kitchen, din
ing room, bed room and parlor
The roof was made of
poles and covered with layers of
earth. The leader of the party,
John Gordon, and his three "pals"
occupied the cabin Immediately
opposite the gate.
The building of the stockade was
in a raging snow storm.
Two weeks were required to CON-
plete it. What pity it was not
preserved for the present genera
ton to admire.

The Transformation

In the countless ages of the past
When the world as yet was young,
And the mold had not yet been cast,
From which our hills and valleys sprung
Great monsters sported in the brny deep
thousand echoes answered the bellows roar
And nightly their restless visions keep
Always and ever, seeking the shorcless shore
Twas long before the rocky barriers rose,
To shed it's waters to the east and west
Deep down they lay in calm repose,
And high above the foamy biow's crest.
Time went on, earth's fires beyond control
Its crust broke rock upon rock piled high;
The waters of the ocean backward roll ff
And their rocky peaks cleave the very sky
Another age, and now comes on the scene,
Where once the waters ceaseless flow,
Are wooded hills and pastures green,
And farms titled and cities grow.
