STATE SCHOOL FUND.
Grows at Amazing Pace-Practically ST.
100000 Paid Inta School Fund of
State the Past Year.

The biennial report .of Commits
sioner Hepperlee of the state land de-
partment is in the hands of the printer
and in the letter of transmittal he shows
that for the fiscal year the revenues de-
rived from the state school funds and
paid over to the schools was 1897, 1859.
Up to the present time the state has
disposed of 455, ,956 acres of public lands,
from which has been derived perman-
ent fund of $40, ,735, 500, which draws in
terest for the benefit of the schools OF
the state. There are yet unsold approxi-
mately three million acres of land for
educational purposes, which on basis
OF the valuations fixed by the state tax
commission, on lands in the counties
where these lands are located, would
give them a selling value of over $45,-
100000
The demands for loans on the school
fund are far ahead of the supply of cash
to meet them, and it would be no
trouble to loan several million dollars
more if the fund were available.
1t is suggested that provisions be made
by which leases for periods as long as
twenty years can be made for lands
leased for agricultural purposes. The
present grazing land lease system, not
fitting to the best manner into system
which contemplates leasing for agricul-
tural purposes.
The department has been keeping
several men in the field looking into the
matter of trespass upon the state lands,
and has collected over six thousand dol
lars through this care of the property of
the state. Besides the revenues so Sc
cured, the fact that the state department
is known to be on the guard in such
case brings in large amount of rental,
which would not be received in case it
was thought that part of the land
could be used without notice being TAX
en- of that fact.
On account of many Indian allotment
selections on sections sixteen and thirty
six which belong to the school lands,
the department has been selecting in.
demnity lands to a great extentin Hard
ing county, practically the only county
with enough vacant land to make up the
deficiency. BY this the state now holds
$4,000 acres in that county, and it has
been decided best to offer consider
able portion of this for sale this fall.
The report asks laws for the better
handling of timber on the state forest
reserve, and for the handling of reisted
and accretion lands, and the care of is
lands forming in the Missouri river.
Attention is called to the state game
reserve, and it is declared to be the be-
lief of the department that this will in
time become one of the leading tourist
attractions in the northwest.

the census of 1910 as basis of popula
ton, which gives Custer 602 and Rapid
City 1854, Custer has telephone to 14.3
inhabitants while Rapid City has one to
5.3 On this showing the Mutual COM
pany have agreed to furnish metallic
service when IS phones are rented.
This wonld be on basis of one phone
to eight population.
1t seems that another telephone COM
pany have applied for franchise in
Custer and we are informed that they
make glowing promises, which the facts
as shown above will scarcely warrant.
The Mutual Company is owned in the
whole by residents and tax payers o.
Custer county. Two of the rural com,
panies were induced to build to Custer
solely because of business with the coun
ty seat. Where two telephone systems
have been installed it has resulted in {
double expense to the business man ir
maintaining phones on both systems
and many other annoyances.
This article is presented In explana
ton of our reasons for desiring a fran
chise, as a member of the board inform
ed me that it was feared that the Mutua
company intend to sell to the Nebraski
''Bel" Company. That is not the in
tention of the Mutual company, but i
this is feared by the town board it nigh
be we'll to investigate closely the inten
tions of the other applicant.
Respectfully,
s. NJ. Booth.

A COMMUNICATION

Editor Chronicle:
The offer of your columns for dis
cussion of matters pertaining to the well
fare of our city and surrounding country
is duly appreciated. In this article l
shall endeavor to be brief.
At a time like this, when business is
slack and money matters close, one
naturally hesitates about making ex-
penditures that are not absolutely neces-
sary, and yet if such policy is followed
too closely, it generally results in such
inactivity that finally leads to careless
ness and Indifference. take it that no
good citizen can be Indifferent to the
welfare of the community in which he
lives. Carelessness, l suppose, is the
word that describes the real condition
of our people. Custer is certainly
beauty spot and could be made one of
the most beautiful places in the Hills,
this too, without any very large ex-
penditure of money or labor.
Recently little group of Custer peo-
Pile were taking picnic break fast upon
one of the high points overlooking Gus
ter. Some one, impressed with the
view, looking down upon Custer nestled
in the valley with its surroundings, re-
marked, what beautiful spot" to
which another retorted "spoiled good
place for farm" No doubt as he look.
ed down upon the rusty looking build
ings. all too suggestive of drouth, his
utilitarianism even saw "beauty" in
patches of potatoes and fields of waving
grain.
| Recently the writer took an auto.
mobile trip through the Hills extending
into Wyoming as far as Devils Tower,
and was much impressed with the thrift
ty appearance of the ranchers and vii.
layers. Most every farm house and
barn passed, after leaving the Hills, was
painted and well kept. Little inland
towns like Hewlett and Sundance, far
from railroad have bright, fresh az.
pearance by being painted up to date,
and in stricking contrast to our own
little village. Several houses in Custer
have been painted this season. Recent.
ly the Catholic church and parsonage
have been nicely painted, improving
their appearance greatly, and l am in
formed that the Methodist church anG
parsonage are soon to Se treated in like
manner.
Can't we all get the habit"?
To make it little easier for any ont
in Custer, or the country within radius
of ten miles. propose to furnish at alb
solute wholesale cost, for cash, during
the months of October and November
pure white lead and oil to all who may
come to apply for it. Every building
beautified in Custer, not only adds value
to that particular property, but to every
other property in the city. A beautifu
city also adds value to the country prop
erty and vice versa. The interests o
city and country are interlocked anG
what is benefit 70 one is benefit to tn
other!

The Greatness of the Universe.

Jean Paul Richter: God called up a
man into the vestibule OF heaven, say
ing: Come thou hither and see the
ants that stood around His throne He
said: Take him and undress him from
the robes of flesh, cleans his vision
and put new breath into his nostrils;
only touch not with n change his
human heart-the heart that Weeps II
trembles."
1t was done; and, with a mighty
angel for his guide, the man stood
ready for his infinite oyage and from
the terraces of heaven, without sound
of farewell, at once they wheeled into
endless space. Sometimes, with solemn
flight Of angel wings, they fed through
Saharas Of darkness, through wilder
nesses of death that divided the worlds
Of life; sometimes they swept along
frontiers that were quickening under
prophetic motion.
Then from a distance that is counted
only in heaven, light dawned for a
time through a sleepy film; by 'unuttsr-
able pace the light swept to them, they,
by unutterable pace, to- the light.
In a momen the rushing Of planets
was upon them; in a moment the blaZ-
ing of suns was around them.
Then came eternities of twilight that
revealed, but were not revealed, on the
right hand and on tho left lowered
mighty consultations; here were
triumphal gates whose magnificent
archways rose In altitude by spans that
seemed EhOStly from lnfTltuOe. "lIN-
out measure were the architraves, past
number were the archways, beyond
memory the gates.
Within were stairs that scaled the
eternities below; above was below-be
low was above to the man stripped or
gravitating ~body-depth was swallow
ed up in depth unfathomable.
Suddenly, as they thus rode from nm
lite to infinite-suddenly, as they thus
tilted over abysmal worlds-a mighty
cry arose, that systems more myster-
ious, that consultations more glorious,
and other depths were coming, were
nearing, were at hand!
Then the man sighed and stopped,
shuddered and wept. His Over-burden-
ed heart uttered itself In tears and he
said:
Angel, I will go no further. For
the spirit of man aCheth with this In
f1nity. Insufferable is the glory Of the
universe. Let me lie down in the grave
n hide myself from the persecution
of the infinite, for end there is none"
And from all the listening stars that
| shone round issued a choral voice;
The man speaks truly; end there Is
none that even yet we have heard OF.
En- there is none"
The angel solemnly demanded: us
there no end, and Is this the sorrow
that kills your" But no voice an
swered, that he may answer himself
Then the angel threw his glorious
hands toward the heaven Of heavens,
saying: End there is one in the uni
verse of God. Lo! also there was no
| beginning"
