of the Custer lodge. The services were
very impressive and enjoyed by all
present.
At $50 p. m. the Rsbekah lodge gave

ing laid for about $50 guests. 1t wasone
Of those banquets the Custer ladies are
always known to give, complete in every
detail and most delicious.
About $50 the dedicatory services
were taken up, followed by several very
bright and spicy speeches by the Grand
Officers. The local lodge was compli-
mented for the erection of such beau.
tiful building, every visiting member
having good word to say for the struc'
ture,, which would be credit to any
town ten times our size.
Many out of town visitors were pres
ent at the service, from different parts
OF the State, several making the trip to
Sylvan Lake early in the day. One
gentleman from the east side made the
remark that he very much appreciated
the very fine reception, the grand new
building and all that but he for one
could not get the scenery about the Hills
and especially the Lake, out of his mind
Lack of space forbids our, going into
detail as much as we would like in writ
ing up this grand affair, but we do say
that it was one Of the grandest meetings
ever held in this part OF the State,

FEDERATION NOTES.
BY Mr.. NJ. J. BAILEY

With last weeks issue of the CHRoN-
IcLE the duties of the Editor of "Feder-
alton Notes" expired either by limitation
or resignation-the deponent sayeth not.
Duties faithfully and we'll done, need no
other reward. Thanks of the Fedora.
tion for those services. But why any
one should leave the lucrative position
of Federation Editor" and this beauti.
ful spot where the air Is full of sun
shine and the sky is full of stars" and
spend the months of June, July and Au.
gust, sweltering in the murky atmos-
phere Of city, is more than one can
we'll, it just can't be accounted for. Per
NIT us to extend our sympathy and ex-
press the fond hope that she may return
rejuvenated, ready to resume the ardu-
GUS duties OF editor, "when the frost is
on the pumpkin and the fodder is in
the shock"
Let me give you, dear reader, the
comforting assurance, that my editorial
career will be short-lived, and ask that
your mantle Of patience and charity rest
upon me for these few weeks. In the
first place, solicit contributions to this
department from any one interested in
the affairs of our little city or this COM
m unity, requesting only, that personal
grievances can be omitted. Co-opera-
ton is the wo rd I would like to write
in big capitals.
We don't know Of any citizen in our
midst so public spirited that he can
afford to spend all of his time, or any
one who is disposed to spend all his
wealth for the betterment Of the COM
munity, but by working together we can
accomplish much. am sure bespeak
the sentiment of each member of the
Town Board when l say We want your
cooperation. There are many needed
improvements and the new board is
confronted with much depleted treas
ury. Can you not do little grading or
leveling up on the street just in front of
your house aud on the alley at the rear
of your lot, without much labor or ex-
pense to yourself, even though it may
be, strictly speaking, the business of the
city to do this?
And say! That walk is no credit to
you. Why not fix it up instead of wait
ing to be requested to do 80 by the Town
Board? How would it do to just put up
bill boards at each corner of every street
-four to the block-and write on every
one in blazing letters "Co-operation ?"
and if this did not bring the desired re-
suits, write just above it, "Civic Pride?"
Those words ought to be sufficient to
stampede an army and win a battle.
Now listen Here is the best of all.
A representative of the Chautauqua was
here the other day and told the commit
tee what they proposed to bring us. 1t
was enough to make ones blood run
quick, as he told of this feast of reason
and flow of soul" in store for us.
Custer is deprived of such treats usu-
ally, because of her isolation from cen
ters of population, but this time we are
in it," (excuse our Latin) and no one
8 hould fail to avail himself of this rare
Then let US all get busy
and boost to make the Chautauqua o
success from every standpoint.

Interment was made in the Custer

The deceased leaves many friends in
Custer and elsewhere who loved her for
the sweetness of her personality. Her
patience during her weeks of illness W as
remarkable and it is comfort to those
who mourn her that she suffered nc

close to life which had its usual com.

TO REPORT FOREST FIRES
Rural Mail Carriers to Report Forest
Fires Detected Along Their
Routes.

The official Postal Guide for May calls
the attention Of postmssters and rural
carriers to an order of the Postoffice De-
partment that the carriers report to the
proper authorities all forest fires detect
ed along their routes. This order was
issued at the request Of the Secretary Of
Agriculture.
For several years in some sections Of
the country q sort of informal under
standing has existed between National
Forest rangers and mail carriers with
the idea of securing increased fire pro.
lection. The marked effectiveness Of
this cooperation was q strong argument
In favor of its extension and official
sanction, and was in part responsible for
the request of the Secretary of Agricul.
ture which resulted in the order by the
Postoffice Department.
The plan is for the carrier to report
fire to the nearest forest officer on his
route, or. if no officer lives on the route,
to have him notified by some respop.
sible citizen. State and national forest.
ers are supplied with post road maps
and with postal guides containing the
addresses of the different postmasters.
The postmasters in turn are supplied by
the foresters with the names, addresses
and telephone call numbers Of forest
officers residing on or near the carriers
routes.
Cooperation between rural carriers
and federal forest officers will take place
in Florida, Arkansas, South Dakota,
Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari.
zona, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Washing
ton, Oregon and California. Co-opsra-
ton with State officers is given in all the
New England States, and in New York,
New Jersey. Pennsylvania, Maryland,
West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Idaho,
Washington, Oregon and California, all
these States having established fire pro.
tective systems.

new COURT BUILDING
FAVORED by SYLVESTER
MAJOR RECALLS OLD PLANS

Endorsement Of the plan for the erec-
tion of a new Juvenile Court building
was given yesterday by Mai. Richard
Sylvester, chief Of police.
For several years he has been working
for a new structure. and now that the
campaign has been started anew he will
lend his full support to it.
'As a matter of fact" the major said.
IT have been arguing for a new building
for the Juvenile Court and the House of
Detention for a number Of years. Two
years ago Judge De Lacy and ] were
members of a committee which drew up
plans for a new building.
1T appears that our plans at that time
and those now being advocated by Judge
Latimer practically are identical. We
had provided for the court and court
Offices on the first floor of the building.
dormitories and rooms of various sorts
for children being detained on the second
floor, with a number of baths, and
small hospital outfit, kitchen. and ma
irons room on the third floor.
This is, I believe, about the same
project now being advanced by Judge
Latimer. and am most heartily In favor
of 1t. Nearly every one is agreed that
the present courthouse is inadequate, as
is the present structure We use Tor the
House of Detention. Both are rente0
buildings, as We have not yet been able
to secure an appropriation for the erec-
ton of suitable buildings for these insti-
tutions.
In my report made 10 the Commis-
sioners some years ago it was recon-
mended that House Of Detention be
established to prevent children who came
i'm contact with the police from being
confined in cells. as a criminal would be.
and TO keen the children under restraint
and observation without the prison idea
being put into their minds"
In connection with the campaign for
new building, persons interested in the
matter have mentioned the fact that
New York now is erecting a new home
for its Juvenile Court. The structure
will be in Twenty-second Street. near
Lexington Avenue. and will be four
stories high. 1t will be Of classic design.
with sides and front of white limestone
and the rest of brick.
