NOT TOO LATE TO ENROLL.

When the registration books were
closed by the town clerk on October
3lst, the names of l04 voters had been
recorded. This number is little over
one-third of the voting strength of
Custer precinct.
Until November enrolment facilities
were offered at the Office of the auditor
in cities and the clerk in towns and
townships. These enrolment stations
are now closed and the rolls deposited
with the county auditor. Under the
law, however, any voter who cares to
take the trouble to 60 to the county
seat may still enroll at the Office of the
county auditor, This privilege is held
open during the months of November
and December. But any voter who
wishes to take part in the county mass
meetings to be held December 2 must
be enrolled on that date. The county
mass meetings will start the nominating
machinery by election of proposal com
mittees. Every voter who wants to do
his full duty as party man will have
to be enrolled before the date of these
meetings However. any voter who
enrolls at the county seat before the
first of the year will be entitled to vote
at the March primary.

TO BE SEEN LIN A CEMETERY.

Pike County Post: Take walk
through the cemetery alone and you
will pass the resting place of man who
blew into the muzzle of gun to see if
it was loaded. A little farther down
the slope is crank who tried to show
how close he could stand to a moving
train while it passed. In strollng about
you see the monument of the hired girl
who tried to start the fire with kerosene,
and the grass,covered knoll that covers
the boy who put a cob under the mules
tail. That tall shaft, over a man who
blew out the gas, casts a shadow over the
boy who tried to get on moving train
Side by side the pretty creature who
always has her corset laced to the last
hole and the intelligent idiot who rode
the bicycle nine miles in ten minutes,
sleep unmolested. At repose is doctor
who took dose of his own medicine.
There, with the top of shoe box driven
over his head, is rich old man who
married young wife. Away over there
reposes boy who went fishing on Sun
day, and the woman who kept strychnine
powders in the cupboard. The man
who stood in front of the moving
machine to oil the sickle, is quiet now
and rests beside the careless brakeman
who fed himself to the seventy-ton en-
CINE, and nearby may be seen the grave

WOULD EXCHANGE HAMMER
FOR AXES AND CANTEEN

Forest Supervisor lines will be pleased
to have the individual who removed
the two axes and canteen from the
fire tool box near Berne return them TO
his Office at an early date, and receive
in exchange prospector's hammer
which was used for purpose of opening
the box. By SO doing, considerable
trouble will be avoided.

destroying or stealing any property of
the United States within the custody of

plication to the Forest Supervisor.

PARK TO BE KEPT FREE
OF all Expenses to South Dakota is Lo-
Gated East of Custer-To be
Stocked With Game.

| Pierre, Oct. 3l.-A state park, twenty
miles long and ten miles wide in the
picturesque Black Hills, secured, en-
closed and to be maintained at no direct
expense to the people of the state, is the
situation in South Dakota at the present
time. The general government granted
to the state sections sixteen and thirty
six in each township for school pur-
poses, and these scattered tracts through
out the government forest reserve
required dual control of the different
classes of land in q manner which made
it hard to secure anything out of the
state lands This has been eliminated
by an exchange in which the state Sc
cured compact tract fthe government
forest reserve near Custer, and sur
rendered to the government its rights to
the scattered tracts. This gives the
state its forest within its own control,
separate from the government reserve,
and the last legislature provided for the
fencing of this tract with money taken
| from the state game fund which is Sc
cured from gun licenses to hunters, and
does not cost the general tax payer a
cent. Provisions were also made for the
use of portion of this fund for stocking
the tract with buffalo, elk, deer antelope
and other species of large game native
to the northwest; and as well to place
thereon such game birds as will thrive
and propagate in such section of the
country.
The tract which is composed of rug.
ged hills covered with pine and spruce
threaded with sheltered valleys in
which there is plenty of ofgrazing, through
each of these valleys flowing trout
stream already stocked, and to be kept
supplied with game fish, making it an
ideal outing place for people of the state
who care to put in few days or weeks
in this natural mountain park, at a
small expense for an outing.
The state is working out timber con-
servation on this tract, and has now
millions of feet Of mature timber and
the expense of maintenance is amply
provided for by the sale of twenty-five
million feet of this matured timber at
a rate of $3.50 per thousand in the tree,
to be taken off in period continuing
through ten years.
State Game Warden Hedrick is already
preparing plans for the proper stocking
of the tract with game as soon as the
fence is completed next year, arranging
to secure antelope in some of the herds
in the northwest part of the state where
they have been protected by old time
ranchers from determination by the
homesteaders. Elk will be secured from
Wyoming, and buffalo from the Phillip
herd near Fort Pierre, with deer already
on the ground, and patridges aud quail
native to the country, and wild turkey
will be located if it is shown that they
can thrive in that section.

in Hot Springs Monday. Fay has been
somewhat indisposed here of late, but
still wears the optimistic smile.
Elmer Drain was in Hot Springs the
fore part of the week. His brother
Gene, who has been working for the
government, accompanied him home.
]. II. Fall was out on his ranch the
latter part of last week, but returned
home Sunday. He has job of painting
for Fred Scheuler south of Hot Springs.
Bert Williams has been saving out
some lumber lately, but expects to close
down for the winter before long.
Jake Pool has been assisting him in the
mill work.
Albert Aaberg contemplates building
a new residence this fall. He recently
filed on homestead adjoining the place
where he lives, and will erect his new
house on it.
Fay Somarindyck was riding the range
the fore part of the week. He reports
range stock as looking good, and thinks
they will pull through in fine shape un-
less we have very severe winter.
John Fuson, our former genial citizen,
is handling the trowel and throwing
the mud on his new garage in Hot
Springs. This will be one of the most
up to date garages in the west when
completed.
- Charley Ottman is working for the
government in the park fencing. He
has been with that work every since it
started. Fred Merrill, Merritt Pool,
and Norval Hamm are also working
there.
The Roth Transfer Co. has been busy
the last week hauling out material for
the park fence. Things will be moving
again in few days, as they desire to
get the work completed before snow
flies if possible
Mrs. Charles Ottman is doing the
guiding in the cave at present. Mrs.
Ottman was previously guide in that
intuition, and undoubtedly knows the
different routes as good as any of them.
Her father, MIR. Stabler, was a former
owner of the cave.
News is scarce, so scarce in fact that
the news papers are again announcing
the death of the last survivor of the
Custer Massacre. This has been pub
lished at least twice year for the last
twenty years, and the writer has come
to the conclusion that this surviving
gentleman has almost died as many
times as King Menileik, of Abyssinia.
Last Sunday while Mrs. Perl Cham bers
was coming home from John Robert
sons the buggy run over larpe root
lying in the road throwing out the two
little children, who were riding behind,
and severely injuring the little girl
She was taken to Hot Springs, where
DR.. Wheeler attended to her. 1t is
thought at this writing that no bones
are broken and she appears to be get
ting along in good shape.
There is some kick from the sub.
scribers over the new ruling about
cutting those off who fail to pay up their
or dues, but the law is that
there can be no discrimination between
patrons, whether they are subscribers
or renters, and it has been held dis
where one party pays up
and the other does not, for the reason
that one party is getting service for
and the other pays for it.

SCHOOL NOTES.

The successful double-headers last
night preceded by the Rythmics was
the result of hard work and thorough
cooperation on the part of the teachers
and the pupils. Miss Garlock and Miss
Phillips drilled the pupils daily to make
the Rythmics a success. Miss Gratz as
sisted by relieving Miss Phillips of her
room just before the noon hour. Miss
McEnaney spent an hour and half daily
putting the girls teams thru stiff prac-
tice. Miss Woodwork supervised the
making of advertising posters and kept
a record of tickets in the hands of pupils.
The members of all teams practiced
daily with a willingness and interest
which forebode success. A spirit of
good feeling and of "boost" was the
prominent one all along the line. With
such spirit the school is sure to live a
real life in the community.

LIABILITIES.
GOOD WORDS FROM HICKS.

In reply to correspondent at Ho l.
dredge, the Rev. Irl Il. Hicks, the St.
Louis weather forecaster says in his
September Word and Works:
GAS general Long Look Ahead we
are free to say that we believe the out
look for 1914 is very much better than
the present, or several years past have
been. We are satisfied that we are
passing the crisis of Jupiter drouth and
heat during the present summer, and
that better and more prosperous con-
ditions will return to the great agri
cultural regions in 1914 and years
following. Fringes of drouth may inger
here and there, but We say to the dis
tressed and suffering people, take heart.
Let the acreage of corn be largely in
creased, but do not fail to enlarge your
plans for the greatest possible sowing
of wheat. We believe that those who
wisely put their strength into farming
enterprises, even in the semi arid re-
gions on our western borders will strike
it rich during the three to four years
next before u.s."

The forest service at Deadwood an.
nounces the completion of the Bald
Hills portion of the Deadwood- Hot
Springs road. During the past two
months a road building gang, under the
supervision of Deputy Forest Supervisor
Wiehe, has been engaged in road con-
struction work from Pactola across the
Bald Hills to the Burnt Ranch on Spring
creek. The last appropriation bill for
the department of agriculture provides
that 10 per cent of the gross proceeds
from the national forests be expended
by the secretary of agriculture in the
construction of roads and the local
foreat officers have confined all road
improvement work to those portions
of the Deadwood Hot Springs road
within the national forests mostly in
need of repairs.-Pioneer Times.

Permanent arrangements have now
been made for the rent of the opera
house by the month for the schools use
Of course, this means considerable ex =
pense and we are counting on the CO.
operation of the people of Custer.
Pupils have been selling season tickets
to the fine double header basket ball
championship games at IS cents and
will continue the selling thru the next
week. The goal sought is 100 season
tickets. The tickets are transferable
and so one may be used by the various
members of a family. Our plan is to
use the hall for school entertainments
and programs as well as for athletics so
that the greatest benefit may be derived.
Help us along by investing 75 cents in a
season ticket.

Season tickets are being offered at $l.25
and rs had been sold by Wednesday
