BUFFALO ARRIVE.

Fred NJ. Ollie, who is with the Biolo.
gical Survey of Washington, d. c., and
who went to New York recently, arrived
here this morning with fourteen head
of buffalo which was taken to the Wind
Cave National Park twelve miles north
west of the city where forty acre tract
has been fenced for their reception. A
force of men have just completed the
work at the Park and everything is now
in readiness.
The animals which arrived were ship.
ped in crates and were allotted to this
new reserve by the American Bison
Association. AS soon as the entire park
which covers an area of1l 900 acres, can
be fenced properly, elk, deer and other
wild game will be added.

in making the delivery at the Park after

GOOD STATE FOREST LAW.

Included in the statutes of South Da-
kota is law of great importance to the
people of the west interested in the pro
lection of mountain watersheds. This
law, as enacted by the legislature oi
South Dakota, is as follows:
"Any person who shall cut any imber
upon any common school or other lands
within this state, shall pile up and dis
pose of all brush and debries in such a
manner and under such regulations as
may be prescribed by the board Of
school and public lands, and shall CON-
NIT no waste or unnecessary damage to
the standing trees and young growth" )"
According to forestry officials, this is
one of the best state forest laws ever
enacted in the west, and one that should
be included in the statutes of every
state in the Rocky Mountain region.
The requirement, by law, that every
citizen of state shall clean up the area
which he has cut over, by burning or
scattering the brush and slashings in a
manner directed by competent authori-
ties, will be far reaching in its efforts
toward satisfactory solution of one OF
the most important phases the problem
of fire protection throughout the great
forest covered areas upon which the
people of the west are absolutely de-
pendant for their water supplies.

LIABILITIES.
NOT A GAN DIDATE.

Several weeks ago Congressman E. w.
Martin informed the editor of The Call
that he positively would not be cam
didate for reelection. Mr. Martins
health has not been wholly satisfactory
for few months but is now steadily
improving. He is not in such poor
physical condition that it would be too
great strain for him to make the cam
paign but he has fully decided not to
become candidate.
Mr.. Martins record in Congress is one
that the district which honored itself in
electing him may well be proud of. His
ability is recognized at Washington
where he, has influence and prestige
that have meant much to his constituents.
His ability is equaled by his energy.
He is tireless worker and the results
of his work have been of great benefit
not only to his district but to the state
as whole. 1t will be impossible to
elect man from this district who can
or will render better service than Mr.
MdrIlu mas uone. DuI SuOulu Judge w (.
G. Rice, who is being urged to enter
the race, consent to do so, Mr.. Martin
will have worthy successor whose
ability, integrity, and energy will give
to the state and the district the greatest
possible service.-Lead Call.
The funeral of Thomas Marsh, who
died November 9th from the injuries
received in an automobile accident, was
held at Hill City Saturday afternoon,
November Goth. The accident occurred
while Mr.. Marsh. his wife, two other
ladies and gentleman were returning
from trip to the Calumet mine.
Through some displacement of the
machinery the lives of the occupants
were endangered, and to save them and
the machine Mr. Marsh endangered his
own life, receiving injuries which caused
his death. Deceased was well known
in Custer, and elsewhere throughout
the Hills. He was at the head of the

STATE CONTEST CASES
Not the Policy of the State Land Depart.
ment to Divest Bonafide Claim
Holders of Their Rights.

N. M. Hanson, Deputy Commissioner
of school and public lands, of Pierre,
was in Custer last Tuesday in con-
nection with the contest cases Of
James Demereu ct. al against the State
of South Dakota.
When the state selected the tract ol
land known as the Custer State Forest,
it was known that great many mining
claims had been staked out on the
ground. However most of these had
been abandoned for years. The proper
disposition of those still "slive" was one
of the most difficult problems to be
solved by the commission which had
the exchange of lands in charge. The
state was anxious to have the Govern
ment survey the apparently valid min.
ing claims to eliminate them from the
exchange. This it was found would
require an enormous amount of work
and great deal of time. 1t was finally
agreed to ignor all mining claims not OF
record on the U. S. Land Office plats,
and provision was made in the exchange
agreement to allow the state to select
other lands in lieu of what might sub
sequently be found to be valid mining
claims, and the hearing here on Tues
day was in the nature of a friendly suit,
for the purpose of determining the
validity of the claims.
Mr.. Hanson stated to representative e
of the Chronicle that it was not the policy
of his department to try to divest any
bonaide claim holder of his rights, nor
to try to cause him any unnecessary ex-
pense. S. Payne of Pierre was here
representing the Attorney Generals de-
partment. Mr.. Demereau conducted
his own side of the hearing. Other
cases were heard at IIermosa on Thurs.
day and Friday of this week, and the
+. ii. Wicket case will be up for a
hearing here at Custer (today) Saturday.

A SPELLING SCHOOL

Last Wednesday evening the Ever
green School gave an old fashioned
spelling bee. Quite number attended,
among them being several Custer High
School pupils, who during the evening
gave rousing high school yell.
The school house was beautifully
decorated and before the spelling began
the audience were favored by few
Thanksgiving selections. including the
Proclamation, which was read in pleas
ing manner by the teacher, Mrs. Carlson.
Misses Alta Brown and Aloam Dun
can chose sides and nearly every one
present showed splendid spirit by doing
their best. The defeating word was,
"knick knacks." After the spelling pop
corn and apples were served, then a
large bon fire was lighted and games
were enjoyed by everyone.
Here's hoping there may be more
such entertainments iu the future.
