FEDERAL GAME LAWS.

President Wilson has issued pro-
clamation, putting into effect the regula-
tions covering the shooting of migratory
fowl on October /. The provisions of
these regulations made under the pro-
visions of the Mclean bill, passed by
congress, have been widely published.
South Dakota is in the northern zone,
and the open season for ducks and
geese is from September 10 to December
16. The regulation read that migratory
fowl cannot be shot between sunset and
sunrise, and there has been no intima-
ton that they do not mean just what
they say. Further there has been no
intimation as to what steps Uncle Sam
will take to enforce this law, but it
may be assumed from federal diligence
exercised in enforcing other laws, that
these new regulations cannot be ignored
with impunity. 1t therefore beh ooves
the duck shooter in South Dakota to
take due note of the sunrise-sunset pro-
visions, for he will not know when a
federal deputy is on the ground to look
over his observance of the scheduled
hours. The temptation to prolong the
sh DOT from sunset until it is no longer
light enough to see the birds will be
great; but yielding to such temptation
will be flirting with danger.

REPORT ON IRRIGATION.
Possibility Irrigating 10000 Acres in Chey.
enne River Valley-Cost Smaller
than Belle Fourche Project.

Pierre, Oct 14.-Within short time
the report on the preliminary work on
the next big irrigation project for South
Dakota, will be out, showing the
practicability of irrigating sixty thou.
sand acres of Cheyenne River Valley
lands in Fall River county. The work
so far as carried out shows that this
project can be put in at a much less
cost than was the Belle Fourche gov
ernment project, and will spread water
over larger acreage of land, reducing
the cost per acre on the land to be
benefited. The proposition is for a
stone and concrete dam $50 feet high,
and at the place selected for this part
of the project, the dam would need be
but $50 feet long which would hold a
water supply up to 10000 acre feet per
year. This is in strong contrast to the
big Belle Fourche dam which is mile
and half in length, and which i'm
pounds but little more water than
would the much smaller dam on the
southern fork of the Cheyenne.
The appropriation of the survey had
been completed and bursiness men OF
Fall River county donated $1,000 to the
work to get it carried through this fall
and in shape to present the matter in
the coming congress for consideration
and the attempted preliminary steps
toward making the project reality.

THE RAVER HILL ROAD.

The 5000 feet of new road which is
being contracted by the Forest Service
for improving road conditions at the
Raver Hill on the Deadwood Hot
Springs Road, is now practically COM
pleted. On Oct. 10th, county commits
sioners Carrigan and Montgomery with
Supervisor lines motored to the Road
Camp for the purpose of inspecting the
work which had been done. The Coun-
ty Commissioners were so well pleased
with the work that had been done that
they authorized the completion of the
project, at an estimated cost of $3.50.
The amount available from the Forest
Service fund, $500, for this project was
practically exhausted, so by the help of
the County Commissioners it will now
be possible to complete the work this
season.

BEAVER VALLEY NOTES
BY T.. l., KING

Albert Aaberg and wife were Sunday
visitors at the Chambers ranch.
There is still quite little potato
digging in this vicinity, and the crop
was far better than was anticipated.
A. p. Chambers was in Buffalo Gap
Saturday on telephone business. He
also was a Custer visitor last week.
The Point of Rocks Telephone Co.
had their regular directors meeting
last Tuesday. Better service was the
principal thing under discussion, and
active measures will be taken in the
near future to secure such service.
Those present at the meeting were r. j.
Turner d. L. Hayden, A. p. Chambers,
Thos. Moore, Frank Sutherland, and
VIM. McClaren.
The well drillers on the Ottman place
have been having their share of bad
luck. At the present time they have
their tools fast at a depth of sixty five
feet and have been unable to dislod ge
them so far.
Chas. Ottman and Fred Merrill are
working for the government in the
fencing of the forty acre tract which is
to hold the first consignment of buffalo
for the Wind Cave National Park. The
writer is informed that the first con-
signment will arrive about the first of
November, and will be hauled from Hot
Springs in wagons, each wagon to hold
two buffaloes. Mr.. Ollie, who has
charge of this work, is man well
acquainted with the raising and caring
of bufiaIoes. The fencing of the main
park will begin in the near future.
We are pleased to write that J. NJ
Merrill, Sr, who was critically i'll at our
last writing, has so far recovered as to
be able to 90 around once more. Jess
Merrill, one of his sons, is recent
arrival from the eastern part of the
state.
Mrs. Chas Ottman is doing the cook
ing for the men who are engaged in
the government park work. The writer
knows from experience that Mrs. Ottman
can handle the culinary department in
first class shape, and if their appetites
are not satiated, it will be no fault
of tiers.
Jack Chambers, who has been with
Garlock and Ainslie in Custer, has ac-
cepted position with the Turkey Stone
Co., of Stone City Colorado. He was
formerly with the Burke Quarry below
Hot Springs.
Chas. Knapp and Walter Murphy,
both former residents of this vicinity,
have again taken up their abode here.
They have been threshing and harvest
ing in the eastern part of the state.
The writer wishes to explain an error
made in aprevious publication, in which
it was stated that John Fuson was
working for the Martin Bros. The
writer was misinformed, and Mr.. Fuson
and Mr.. Joe Marty are building large
stone garage of their own. 1t is to be
large structure, eighty by eighy-two
feet, and is situated on the main street
of Hot Springs.
Gene Drain and ]. Z. Walters are
working in Hot Springs for the govern
ment. There is to be quite little of
done this fall by the National
on the sa santorium hill.

OBITUARY.,

Emma Bailey was born in Taswell
county, West Virginia, February Is,
1878, where she lived until the age of
four years when the family moved to
Grundy county, Mo. in 1887. She
then moved to Custer county, Neb. in
1887 She was married to Joseph Carter
in 1889. In 1891 they moved to Custer
county, S. d., which has been her home
since that time. -Four children came to
bless this union; Ralph, who died when
four and one half years of age. In
March, 1899, our community was shock
ed by the news that little Joey Carter,
their baby boy had been drowned. The
mother never recovered from the shock
of the sudden taking of the innocent
boy.
The husband, son Willie, age 20, and
Myrtle, age l3, are left to mourn the
absence of loving wife and devoted
mother. Besides her husband. son and
daughter she leaves to mourn her loss,
an aged mother at Spickard, Mo-, her
sister and brother.in-law, Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM Gum and family. Three brothers,
Bennett Bailey, Hogland, Neb.; John
Bailey, Wibaux, Mont; Patrick Bailey,
Roseburg, Ore. Three sisters, Mrs.
Gum of this place, Mrs Wood, Trenton,
Mo-; Mrs. Blew, Wibaux, Mont.
Those who knew her best, loved her
most Where there was trouble, sick
ness or death, she was always first to
come with loving ministrations and
words of comfort. Her place can never
be filled in the hearts of her family,
relatives and neighbors.

| Jewel cave is situated 13 miles south
west of Custer and Crystal cave about
20 miles northwest of Rapid City. The
former is reported to contain 500 separ-
ate rooms or chambers which are con-
nected by about 40 miles of galleries
and corridors, and was set aside by
President Roosevelt February z, 1908, as
a national monument. 1t was discovered
August Is, 1900 by two prospectors
whose attention was attracted to it by
the exhaust of wisd fr6n the entrance,
then small hole in the limestone cliffs
on the east side of Hell's canyon.
Both caves contain beautiful forma-
tions of limestone stalactites and
stalagnites and the walls are encrusted
with a magnificent layer OF calcite
crystal.
The collection of mineral specimens
to be obtained by DR.. O'Harra is re.
quired under the terms of the permit
to be taken from out of the way places
in such manner as not to mar the
natural beauty of the caves and to be
placed on permanent exhibition at the
Geological museum of the School, which
will be open for daily inspection of the
public. The permit was granted in
accordance with the Act of Congress
passed JuneS, 1905 "for the preservation
