Game Warden Hedrick wants to know
if wild turkeys will thrive in the Black
Hills section of the state. He is con-
templating the location of several flo cks
of these birds on the state timber re-
serve if there is certainty that they
will live and multiply. While the leg
islature made an appropriation for fenc-
ing and stocking the state forest in Gus
ter county, as a game preserve, they did
not attach an emergency" clause to the
act and while the money, which comes
out of the surplus game fund, lies idle
in the State Treasury, no work can be
commenced on this until after the first
of July, which will delay the work for
one year. The plan is to stock the re-
serve with big game and game birds of
all descriptions which will thrive in that
locality as we'll as to stock the streams
with game fish and make it an ideal out
ing place for the people of the state
Egan Express.

Don't forget to plant a tree on Tues

Don't forget to plant tree on Tues
day, April 90, the day designated by
Gov. Byrne as Arbor Day in South Da-
kota. In some countries there are what
is known as schools OF forestry. They
furnish course of instruction that not
only includes the technical and botani-
cal study in forests, but embraces COM
plete course in natural science and tree
culture. There is little hope Of such a
bene6cent exercise of public spirit in
this country. But the subject should
receive more attention in our public
schools. And as for Arbor Day itself.
let every citizen enter into the spirit
cordially and heartily. 1t appeals to
every race and every creed. Let every
clergyman, every business man and
every professional man do something to
make the observance befitting. There
is need of it.

mends a careful examination of Chapter

them.
Clerk of Courts WAY, Of Custer, has
regularly complied with the law In max
ing public a list of births and deaths

WHAT rs THE USE?

What is the use to say, 81 won't plant
unless it rainsw Then it is too late, the
grain should be in the ground. Plow
the land in good faith, plant good seed
and trust to the rain maker for the rest.
If good crop is not raised, there will
be some feed at least, and that is better
than nothing.
What ia the use to get sore at your
village school teacher and take your
children out of school because she warns
them of approaching danger? Then say
mean things about her to the other chill
dren and try to discourage them, this
shows poor raising and a low character.
What is the use to get sore at your
village postmaster and go around like q
mad steer and accuse him of lying, for
doing what he is compelled to do by
law and regulations? What is the use
of being an all around sore head

TERRITORY after LAND
VALUED At 81, ESQ, 900
HELD By BISHOP ESTATE

Action to recover land in the Eva
district on Oahu, held by the Bishop
Estate and worth probably Sl.0O0,00O
TO $1,250,000, is to be brought shortly
by Attorney General Thayer.
ut has been held by the Bishop
Estate for some twenty-five years, =
said the attorney general this morn
ing. and undoubtedly was taken over
on a misunderstanding in the first
place. 1t was due to what might be
termed an error or oversight in the
description of the Iii of Kumuulu
which was awarded many years ago.
Assistant Government Surveyor
Sam Kanakanui has just discovered
that tie iii of Kumuulu, according to
the map drawn at the time the award
20 the Bishop Estate was made, con-
tains only nine or ten acres. Under
the impression that the map merely
