STATE GAME FUND.

State Game Warden Hedrick has filed
with the governor the fourth annual re.
port of that department, ending with
June 80, 1918. He reports receipts oi
$47 ,649. 81, of which SIG, ,034. 81 was license
money.
The disbursements showed warrants
issued to the extent of $4,96S.13, and
cash on hand June 80, 1918, Of $42, ,773.1S.
In the report the game warden informs
the governor that the decrease in deer
in this state is very alarming, and at
tributes the condition to depredations
of the wolves on the young stock. He
urges that more land be DEVOTED by the
state to large game, such as deer. He
recommends some particular sections in
the Black Hills which will never be used
for other purposes. 1t is announced
that elk are entirely extinct in this state
and there are recommendations that
some be imported.
The squirrels are not decreasing, but
the game warden recommends that they
be given more protection than they have
at present, because they furnish living
to many persons in the Black Hills, who
sell the pine cones which the squirrels
have gathered and stored up. These
cones are supplied to the government
at good prices, and the industry of the
squirrels makes an easy method of Sc.
curing them.

dust. Succulent feed, like silage and
roots, should also be fed after milking
because of the odor that it gives. Feed
ing twice day will bring better returns
than more frequent and wasteful feed
ing. Give half the concentrates and
half the roughage in the morning and
half in the evening. The COWS will soon
become accustomed to this routine. In
the winter they should be allowed to
spend the day in the stall. and for two
or three hours about midday they should
not be disturbed. Turning them out in
to the yard, or giving them access to
straw stack or field of corn stalks, will
canse them to shrink in milk, no matter
how much or how we'll they may be fed
in the morning or evening. No more
feed should be given them than they
will eat up. The managers should be alb
solutely clean and free from any feed
during the day and night. L. Haee-

ORNAMENTAL ROCKS.

Father Dobberstein received his car
of natural ornamental rocks, which he
gathered for his grotto in the Black Hills
of South Oak ota this fall. For the bene-
fit of our people he exhibited part Sc
lection of these stones in St. Peter and
Paul's school house over week ago.
Most of these stones were taken from
the Jewel Cave at Custer in the hills and
if we are to judge the cave from the
specimens we have seen, it must be as
Father Dobberstein calls it an under
ground dreamland and one of natures
great wonders. Frank Michaud of Gus
ter, is the proud owner of the Jewel
Cave, this natural wonder. Father Dob
berstein was fortunate in his purchase
of the stones from this cave Of Mr.. Mic
baud, of whose courtesies and proper
treatment he is full of praise. He thinks
Mr. Michaud is easily the gentleman of
the Black Hill. We have never seen
the cave but, Custer should be proud of
having near it such fine attraction as
this cave which ought to be good busi-
ness proposition to the town as well.
Father Dobberstein has seen many
avenues of this cave and thinks that Mr..
Michaud should be encouraged by the
people of this town to open up the in.
teresting avenues Of the Jewel Cave. AT
any rate, the rocks that were taken to
West Bend will not fail to add to the
beauty of the grotto, now under con-
struction and to the park at large.
We have no doubt that Father Dob
berstein impressed the people of Custer
as knowing good thing when they see
it. Here is to the park!-West Bend

JUDGE LEWIS HAS
FILED NOMINATING PETITIO.


Judge Clarence l.. Lewis has filed his
nominating petition as judge of the cir
cult court with the secretary of state at
Pierre. AS far as can be learned Judge
Lewis will have no opposition in the re-
publican primaries. AS matter of fact
he consented to seek the nomination at
the solicitation Of friends and politicians
in Custer, Fall River and Pennington
county, who are convinced that he will
add strength to the republican ticket.
The contest between Judge McGee and
Judge Lewis will be one of the interest
ing events of the campaign, both candi-
dates being deservedly popular with
their respective parties and both capable
of polling their full party vote.
Judge Lewis served acceptably as
county judge for Pennington county for
five years and since returning to active
practice has been identified with some
of the most important litigation, which
has ever arisen in Pennington county.
Ie was associated with City Attorney
Sweet in the Denet land suit involving
$250,000 which was won before the
United States court. To his efforts and
those of his partner, John F. schrader,
is due the securing for the city of the
library property at the corner of Sixth
and Kansas City streets.
Judge Lewis stated yesterday that he
will prepare to take an active part in
the campaign both in the primary and
general elections.-Rapid City Journal.

OIL BURNERS AFTER JAN. I.
Burlington Altering Its Locomotives to
Oil Burners on the Black Hills
Division.

The Pioneer-Times says that oil burn
ing locomotives will be in use on the
Black Hills division of the Burlington
after Jan. l. Preparations for this change
have been going on for several months
and are now practically completed. All
locomotives of this division that can be
spared from service are being sent to the
shops as fast as possible and are receiv-
ing the equipment necessary for the use
of oil as fuel. In the beginning, only
the locomotives used in the regular pas
senger and freight service on the main
line will be oil burners, the switch en-
gines and those on the narrow gaug g
lines continuing to burn coal. At Engle-
wood an oil storage tank of $50, 900 gal
Ions capacity is practically completed at
cost of about $4,000, including all
equipment, boiler, pumps, pipes, etc.
Another tank of the same capacity is
being installed at Edgemont, and others
at BONNEVILLE, Wyo., and places east of
that point. 1t is estimated that one of
the ordinary D4 engines will be able to
run from Edgemont to Englewood and
return with one supply of oil.
The oil supply will come from the
Casper fields, which are now entered by
the Burlington from Billings by way of
Thermopolis. 1t is said to be the inten-
tion of the company to eventually equip
all its engines for oil burning in the
west, and it is probable that the C. and
s. and the line west from Edgemont will
be the first to get the change.
The main object of this change on the
Black Hills division is to do away with
the danger of forest fires from the dis
charge of sparks from coal burning en-
gines, but it also eliminates much of the
discomfort of railroad travel. and is fully
as cheap as coal.

GOLD PRODUCTION.
Gold mining in the Black Hills is the
principal mining industry of South Da-
kota, the gold produced representing
more than 80 per cent of the total min
eral production ofthe state. In the pro-
duction of gold South Dakota ranks fifth
among all the states, according to the
United States Geological Survey. In
1911 the production of gold, most OF
which came from the Homestake mine
in the Black Hills region, amounted to
359.904 fine ounces, valued at $7,439,
S74. In 1912 the production amounted
to 3Sl, ,745 fine ounces, valued at 81 ,S9l,
370 The total value of the mineral
products of South Dakota was $8,047, 259
in 1911 and So, 436, 240 in 1912.
The other mineral products of the
state are clay wares, gems, gypsum, lead,
lime, lithium, mica, mineral waters,
natural gas, sand and gravel, sand-lime
brick, silver, and stone, the combined
value of which in 1912 was $544,S70.

FEED COWS REGULARLY.

1t is great importance that strict re-
gularity should be observed, both in
feeding and in milking iu order to secure
the greatest degree of contentment in
the herd. If the cows are fed at stated
intervals, they will not worry for food
until the time for feeding arrives. If
is then given them in proper quantity,
they will eat and lie down, chew the
cud and sleep or rest contentedly until
time for another feed. First give them
the grain mixture, and milk the cows
while they are eating it. This routine
is recommended because with some cows,
tho milk comes more freely while they
are eating that portion of their ration
which has the most relish. Cured
roughage should be fed after milking
because IL fills the air In the barn with

FAarwnLL oLD YEAR.

The old year will soon have passe d
into history. We will part with it as
with ,sn old friend. To- some it has
brought much joy-to others sorrow :
Yet we are reluctant to say farewell.
Like palsied manit totters as it nears the
end of lifes journey and goes forwards
toward the vast vault wherein doth lie
the forms of dead dynasties and sheeted
centuries swept by the remorseless hand
of time to that great graveyard at the
entrance of which rises the imaginary
tombstone upon which is inscribed these
words, The Past. There is q sublime
solemnity in the slowly moving, yet
never varying tide of years. Man has
marked its course into hours, days,
weeks, months, centuries yet it rushes
on, on, and still on, utterly unmindful
of the puny marks raised TO measure
the tide that never tires. Dynasties
have risen, fourished and decayed; cities
have sprung from fertile plains and then
sank beneath the deserts shifting sands; /;
continents have reared their loft brows
above the oceans trackless waste, only
to-return to the coral caverns from which
they rose; races have risen to the noon
of splendor and then been lost in the
darkness of night, but Time, plodding,
tireless Time, sweeps on with the same
regularity as when it first issued forth,
from the hollow of Gods hand to the
chant of the morning stars and the pro-
claimed creations dawn. And yet Time
is but the image of eternity the shadow
of a shoreless sea, the type OF a duration
for which all the ages past and all the
aeons to come would not make or con-
stitute the first faint flush Of the first
streak of dawn of its second morning.
Eternity, thou pleasing, dreadful
thought" That never ending reign sue
ceeding the crash of matter and the
wreck of the worlds, suns. systems. In
teiigence has achieved triumps. 1t has
read the stars of heaven and can foretel
to second when the great fiery sun will
be hidden in partial or total eclipse; it
can read the history of creation on the
rocks of nature and unfold the secrets
hidden by God in the bowels of the
earth; but when it attempts to grasp the
significance of eternity it stands abashed
and dumbfounded at it's inability to COM
prehend an infinite plan.

DIFFERENTIATION OF
COYOTES AND WOLVES.

Figures recently compiled by the
Forest officers from the results obtained
by loaning traps to settlers on the Har-
ney National Forest for the purpose Of
trapping predatory animals indicate that
very good success has been obtained.
For the past six months forest officers
ofthe Harney National Forest have had
loaned out to various settlers 207 No.
Newhouse steel traps. Up to December
lst, Al coyotes, wolves, 6 bobcats and 8
skunks had been caught, aside from q
number of porcupines of which no con,
sideration was taken. This shows that
for the coyotes alone there has been one
caught for every five traps used. Since
the traps cost approximately $l.O0 a
piece the cost for each coyote has been
approximately $500.
The most valuable catch, however, il
the two wolves. since it is known that il
takes from $1,000 to $500 worth of live
stock each year to keep wolf.
Only three traps have been lost anG
as it is planned to continue the loanins
of traps, it Is thought that the average
cost for exterminating coyotes will no
be more than $l.00 apiece. Traps will
last number of years; and will no doub
be used by the ranchmen wheneve
there is possibility of making catch

In his address at the Roosevelt re-
ception DR.. Martinez called the Mon
