An Old Fashioned New England Dinner

An Old Fashioned New England Dinner.
The pupils and patrons of the Miner
Kimball school, near Hermosa, cele-
brated the poet, Longfelow's birthday
by giving an old fashioned New England
dinner, at their school house Tuesday,
February 27th. The menu was as fol-
lows: Boston baked beans, brown
bread, potato salad, white bread and
butter, doughnuts, green apple pie, fruit
cake and coffee.
After dinner was cleared away school
was called 10 order and the children gave
an impromptu program for their friends
as they had no time to prepare anything
for this occasion, but having made a
special study of the poet this winter,
each pupil could do something. The
program was as follows:
Song-"Columbi the Gem ofthe Ocean,
Memory Gems from Longfellow------
By each member of School
Recitation-Our Flag Roy Miner
Flag Salute By the School
Recitatlon-The Village Blacksmith----

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA. sATURD
SURVEY OF FOREST HoMnsrnAps.

On October 14th, 1911, the CHRONICLE
published an item in regard to the sur
vey of homesteads in National Forests.
This item read in part as follows: ''Set-
tiers on National Forests under the Act
Of June IL, 1906, will no longer have to
pay for survey, as they have had to in
the past on unsurveyed lands, when the
claim goes to patent" This item was
published as it occurred in news bulle-
tin received by the CHRONICLE for pub
lication and was naturally interpreted
by our many settlers, who had filed un-
der the Act of June IL, to mean that
they would not have to pay the expense
for having final surveys made which
are required before final proof was
made.
1t seems that this Interpretation was
an erroneous one. In order to deter
mine definitely what surveys the Forest
Service would make under tho agree
ment between the Department of Agri-
culture and the Department of the In.
terror as stated In our former item,
Supervisor lines took this question up
in several letters with the District Office
of the Forest Service at Denver, Colo
RADIO.
On November 9th, he was advised that
under the new procedure, tho original
or preliminary survey which the Forest
Service has been making free Of charge
would hereafter be made by the Forest
Service under the direction of the Sur
veyor General aud would thereby be-
come the fnal survey. This would do
away with the necessity for a second
survey, for which the applicant has here
tofore had to bear the expense. Super
visor lines further states that in the
same letter he was advised that such
surveys, made under the instructions of
the Surveyor General, could be made by
the Forest Service only upon applica-
tions received after October 2Srd, 1911,
for the listing of lands. In other words,
it would not be possible for the Forest
Service to incur the expense of making
final surveys for those who had applied
for lands or for whom lands had been
listed for homestead entry prior to that
date.
1t is, therefore, evident that the wrong
impression was placed on the news item
by many of our settlers. This should
make the subject of homestead surveys
perfectly clear and do away with any
false impressions which may exist at
the present time.

For South Dakota to declare against
Taft, would be for this State to declare
against the enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t is the Presidents in
sistence upon the enforcement Of the
law against the trusts which has brought
against him the united opposition of the
big interests and without that opposi-
tion, there would have been no appre-
ciable fight against the President. This
means that men who favor the enforce
ment of law intended to bring equal
opportunity to all should stand by the
President. Taft is growing popular for
the enemies he has made.

SOUTH DAKOTA SCHOOL LAND
To be Exchanged for Land in Harney
and Sioux National Forests.

To provide for carrying out an agree
ment under which South Dakota school
lands will be exchanged for National For
est land of equal area and value, President
TAFT has signed a proclamation which
makes it possible for the State to select
Immediately 60, l43 acres of land from
the Harney and Sioux National Forests.
This will permit of indemnity selec-
ton by the State in place ofschool lands,
lying along and within the boundaries
of the Black Hills National Forest, which
will become part of the Forest. A board
of three, on which Supervisor Paul Kel-
Letter of the Black Hills National Forest
has represented the Department of Ag-
ricuture and F. F. Brinker, Commis-
sioner of the Department Of School and
Public Lands of the State Of South Da.
kota, has represented the State, with
Seth Bullock as tho third member, has
made careful study to learn the value
both OF the school lands and ofthe areas
now relinquished by the Government.
Field parties have gathered data for
every section involved, with the result
that the lieu areas are known to be q
fair exchange for the school lands to
which the State relinquishes its claim.
This exchange is the first fruit of a
plan inaugurated by the Forest Service
several years ago, and laid before the
Governors Of various Western States,
with view to settling the vexed ques-
ton of school lands within National
Forests. An agreement similar to that
with the State Of South Dakota has been
entered into with Idaho, and negotia-
tions with other States are pending.
The consolidation of areas into compact
bodies will enable both the States and
the Forest Service to manage their res
pective holdings more advantageously
than would otherwise be possible, and
will enable the State to obtain better re-
turns for the benefit of its schools.
Under the terms of the proclamation
all selections by the State of South Da-
kota must be filed within ninety days
from the date of the proclamation or
from the approval of the official plat of
survey of any unsurveyed land covered
by the agreement.

Pierre Dakotan: The Press and Da-
kotan in perusing the auditors report
stumbled onto the fact that the Brook
ings college has been patronizing Mont
gomery Ward & Co, and runs an item
ized account bought of that firm, with
the prices which the same bill could
have been bought for at home. The to-
tai of the bill as paid the above firm was
$95.7l while they show the same bill
could have been bought at home from
home merchants who live in the State
and spend their money here, for $S3.6S
This is condition there is no excuse
for. The items are all every day articles
and we will venture the assertion that
there is not local store in Brookings
that could not have filed the bill as
cheaply as IL was bought for.

A cold winter is not always pleasant,
but it is the report of men of medicine
that it is fine for germ killer. While
the South is struggling with meningitis

North are now extraordinarily free OF
contagious and infectious diseases. The
average germ fares badly with the low

PRIMARY WILL BE FINAL.
Senator Gambls VIII Accept Deciaon
Of Senatorial Primary as Final.

Suggestions and intimations from cer-
tain quarters at different times haye
been covertly made and have reached
the friends of Senator Gamble that in
the event he receives the highest num-
ber of votes cast by the voters of the re-
publican party in the senatorial pri-
mary, his nomination Hereunder would
be disregarded and his election by the
legislature would be resisted within the
party.
While Senator Gamble was recently
in the city representative Of the Ar
gus-Leader made inquiry of him as to
his attitude thereon and he made the
following statement:
'The statute provides for senatorial
primary and that the person who re
ceives the highest number of votes cast
by the voters of his party for United
States Senator shall receive certificate
from the State Board of Canvassers de-
claring him to be the regularly nominat-
ed candidate of his party for the Office
to be filed by the next regular session
Of the legislature. The law fErther pro-
vides that such endorsement shall have
the force and effect of an instruction to
the republican membership Of the legis-
lature to vote and support the candidate
for United States senator nominated. 1t
is my purpose to submit my candidacy
to the republican party of the state and
in good faith abide the result. While l
have the fullest confidence in the de-
termination, I shall expect all other
candidates for the same position to yield
willing obedience to the declared pur-
pose, and spirit of the primary law in
that respect, and to extend cordial CO.
operation thereafter, as I shall, looking
to the election of a republican majority
in the legislature with the same zeal
and earnestness that our respective cam.
paigns are now made.
81 might further add, l have no rea.
son to doubt the good faith or willing
ness of any of the candidates to abide
the result. You, however, have asked
me to declare my position and cheer
fully do So"

1t is beginning to dawn Oh good
many people that it must mean some
thing that every man who is interested
in trust is opposed to the renomina-
ton of President Taft. The men who
run the big trusts of the country do not
want as President man who has the
old-fashioned habit Of enforcing the law.
The trust fellows are not alarmed by the
big talk; but they do not like indict-
ments. s.-Argus-Leader.

The awakening of the boosting spirit

The awakening of the boosting spirit
in every city, village and hamlet in
South Dakota during the past winter has
served one great purpose at least. 1t
has given our citizens an opportunity to
pat each other on the back, speak a
cheering word, all of which has culmin-
ated in the general feeling that condi.
tions are not quite so bad as they might
be after all.-Redfield Journal Observer.
