WILL SELL SCHOOL LAND.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 29.-Commissioner

RECORD CROPS IN HILLS.
Estimate Of Total Crop Output From
the Black Hills Country This Fall
b SO, 00O, 600.

Harvesting Of the 1912 crops In the
Black Hills. always later than other sec
tions Of the State, has commenced and
as indicated the crops will break all
records for this part of the country. A
careful and very conservative estimate
Of the total crop output from the Black
Hills country this fall, says the Pioneer
Times, is $4,000, 900, far in excess ofany.
thing heretofore.
Estimates of how the crops run have
been made by those familiar with this
work and they are believed to be ap-
proximately correct. There will be
about $50, 700 bushels of wheat, 200, 900
bushels of oats, 100000 bushels of corn,
10000 tons of alfalfa, $4,000 tons of ma
tive hay and 375, 900 bushels of potatoes,
besides scattered crop of fax, barley,
speltz, clover, which are not estimated,
and an extraordinary production of gar
den vegetables.
1t is the first time that oats and hay
will be exported from the Hills and the
first year that this section has grown
enough wheat and vegetables for its own
consumption, which shows the magni-
tude of the crop as the population of the
Black Hills is $4,000.
On the land under the Government
irrigation project there are 1l,2l4 acres
of wheat, 500 acres in oats, 2,3OO acres
in corn, 4, $40 acres in alfalfa, 1880 acres
in native hay and 440 acres in potatoes.
The rest of the Hills will produce twice
as much of all of these with the excep-
tion of alfalfa, which is five times as
great.
The estimated run of the grains and
produce is wheat averaging 20 bushels
to the acre, oats so bushels, corn 40
bushels, alfalfa four tons to the acre,
native hay one ton and a quarter to the
acre and l50 bushels of potatoes to the
acre.
This is the estimate furnished to the
railroads and on which the farmers of
the Black Hills are basing their claims
for prosperous winter this year and
there is little reason to believe that the
figures are anything but conservative
and that good conditions from now on
will only tend to increase, if anything,
these estimates.

DECLARES ROUTE FEASIBLE.
State Engineer Lea Enthusiastic Over
Deadwood and Hot Springs
Auto Road.

Hot Springs Star: II. G. Osterman,
of Deadwood, with his Packard auto
mobile, brought State Engineer Lea 10
Hot Springs Tuesday over the road
through the heart of the Hills, which
has received much favorable discussion
lately. The trip was made for the pur-
pose of getting the opinion Of this road
expert ON this route, for extensive i'm.
provements are to be made on this road.
way by the three counties through
which 1t passes and there should be no
mistake in making the outlay.
Mr.. Lea was enthusiastic over the trip
through the Hills from Deadwood via
Pactola, Hill City, Custer, Wind Cave
and to Hot Springs. This trip gives one
glimpses of every sort of scenery
mountain and vale, woodland and mead
ow, jungle and plain. For scenic beauty
it is unsurpassed. The engineer states
that the road is entirely feasible, that
although there are a number ofbad bills
they can be negotiated and that with
proper work Of a reasonable amount the
road will be big drawing card for the
Hills. He says that both this road and
the valley road from Hot Springs to
Rapid, through Fairburn and Hermosa
should be available, as it is impraticable
to neglect these towns.
In regard to the valley prairie road,
which comes directly from Rapid City
here, touching Hermosa, Fairburn and
Bufalogap, improvement of this
thoroughfare is up to Pennington coun-
ty, and no disposition has been shown
to give it any attention. Judge Levi
McGee, who is now here. states that
Pennington county has had all she could
do to put in the bridges at their eastern
boundary, which cost $60,0O0 and make
necessary repairs in the roads in the
various directions just outside of Rapid
City, which have cost SIS, 900 more. But
the Judge says Pennington will do all
that can be expected of her in the end
and as a matter of fact her investments
along good road lines have done more
for the Black Hills in general than the
work of any other county, for, without
the construction of these bridges, the
cost of which is being borne entirely by
Pennington county, it would be impos
sible for automobile tourists from across
the State to get to the Hills at all with.

home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. ]. v. Rutkow-
ski, where she was cared for by men,

homes to do what they could for her
comfort. At first she seemed to rally,
but 1t was not for any length of time,
and for the last eight days it seemed
that every hour would be her last.
Everything possible was done for her,
but to no avail, and yesterday the end
came.
Deceased came to the Hills with her
parents over thirty years ago, and she
was known to large number of people
In this section and around Keystone.
She was always ready to do kind ness,
and those who knew her were deeply
grieved at her passing away. The re-
mains were taken to Hermosa last even
ing, and this morning will be taken to
Keystone for burial beside a brother
who passed away several years ago.
Among those accompanying the remains
were Mrs. Louis Everly, Mrs. Fin Pei
ter and Mrs. Sam Scott, mother and sis
ters of the deceased. Mr.. Pelter was
also of the party.-Rapid City Journal.
