ROE FOR CONGRESS

L
Real worth plus the support of right
minded thinking people can only result
in good for all concerned, is a political
equation that can never fail. Substitute
Judge w. G.. Rice for real worth and
the equation still rings true. Judge w.
G. Rice of Deadwo ood, candidate for Re-
preventative in Congress for the third
District is worthy successor of the Hon.
Eben w. Martin and most worthy can.
didate for the high Office he is asking at
the hands of the voters of Custer Coun-
ty, the Black Hills and the third Dis
trict at large. Judge Rice inherited SER
vice to his country for his father, Lieut..
Hudson Rice of the 2lst No. Volunteers
fought and bled and gave his best years
and his best strength that his country
might live.
Mr.. Rice came to Deadwood In the
year 1884 just after having been admitted
to the bar. He served six years as States
Attorney of Lawrence County, one tern
in the State Senate, six years Municipal
Counsel for Deadwood and nearly twelve
years Judge of the Eighth Judicial Cir
cult. So much for what he has done.
But tho the past record is important in
weighing man for Congress still it is
not 80 essential as the present and the
future. What man is, and what he
can or may do-are the vital questions
Judge w. G. Rice is man of integrity,
of honor. of honesty and of efficiency.
A man of high purposes, of constructive
ability with a keen, discriminating
trained mind that can work out and
bring to successful elimination any
project he may be promoting. A man
that has been in the limelight of public
service in one state and community for
over thirty years and can be weighed in
the balance and not found wanting. A
man of sound judgment, who in twelve
long years of experience on the bench,
had but sixteen decisions reversed out
of thousands. An industrious, quiet,
earnest man, plain and modest in ap-
pearence, but man OF brains, with the
energy and ability to use them for the
good of the people at all times in all
places. A man who lives in the Black
Hills and who has an intimate know
ledge of the needs of this district. Such
man is Judge Rice, who by his sincere
life, sterling character and brilliant mind
has won the confidence, respect and ad-
miration of people at home, and who by
the same qualities will make good" in
congress or wherever he may be. Many
candidates attempt to enter the field of
political preferment and high honor
thru the gateway of peoples favor with
out the key of efficiency but Judge Rice
is not one of these. To know him is to
appreciate what he has done, what he
is, and what he can and will do.

THAT LITTLE DOLLAR;

h5Gf IL AL HUM ~.
Just little dollar, on its mission sent,
makes lot of people glad each time the
coin is spent. You pay tito the butcher
for meat to give you strength; he takes
it to the grocer from whom it goes at
length, some pretty bit of cloth or lace
his better half to buy, or helps her to
get her winter hat to make her rival
sigh. The dry goods man sends on the
coin to pay his market bill, and though
the coin is often spent, it stays dollar
still. and every time tits spent at home,
some act of good is done, in booming"
local industries, ere setting of the sun.
Just little dollar, on its mission sent,
makes a moving well, and every time
it changes hands somebody goods will
sell. That single little dollar has thus
wondrous power. to make somebody
better dozen times an hour. It pays
the bills and wards off i'll. and ne'er itt
power relaxes to soothe the doctor, buy
the coal and pay for clothes and taxes

Congressman Burke has represented
South Dakota in the national capital for
fourteen years, and that his ability was
recognized by his constituents has been
repeatedly shown by the big ma iorities
the voters have given him. At no time
during those fourteen years has any
man ever been long in doubt as to where
Congressman Burke stood upon any
public question. He was never trim
mer"-he was always willing to declare
bimself-and no man ever knew him to
fail in following the path of duty. His
work in congress brought him national
recognition and every South Dakotan
felt certain degree of pride in the fact
that as national figure Mr.. Burke re-
fected credit upon the state he has rep.
resented for SO many years.

GAO ACRE H0MESIEADS.
Plan Would Put ALI Land on Tax List and
Assist Settlers in Making
Homes.

Receiver Harry L. Candy, of tn,
United States land office, has sent ou
letters to homesteaders and others il
his district, which refer to an enlarged
homestead bill which is being discussed
in the department of the interior. Tht
proposed bill provides for a $40 acr,
grazing homestead and would permit o
filing on so-called rough land in western
South Dakota not applicable to agri
culture.
Receiver Gandy's letter follows:
81 would advise you that the secre
tary of the interior has recommended
to the public lands committees of the
senate and the house, bill for the es
tablishment of what shall be known az
"stock raising homestead" which bill,
If passed, will be applicable to South
Dakota.
"The proposed law provides that lands
the sole value of which is for grazing
purposes, shall be SO designated by the
secretary of the interior, and a stock
raising homestead may be filed thereon
to the extent of $40 acres.
"The bill does not require cultivation,
and in lieu thereof requires such i'm
provements as will tend to encance the
value Of the tract for stock raising pur.
poses, to the amount of$l.25 per acre.
Provision is made for those who hereto
fore acquired lands, that they may take
such an amount as when added to lands
heretofore taken, will not exceed $40
acres.
"The department requested of me my
opinion of this measure, and with recon-
mendations for certain minor changes
and amendments, Istrongly recommend
its passage. My impression is that it
will be great thing for western South
Dakota, for it will not only put all of our
rough land on the tax book, but it will
give man sufficient amount of this land
to make a home for himself and his
family.
81 expect to take up this matter fur
ther with the department and with the
public lands committees of the house
and senate and if you have any sug-
gestions to offer, will be pleased to
hear from you at your earliest con-
venience."

EARLY START PLANNED

TO SUPPRESS FIRES.
Announcement is made that plans are
already we'll underway, throughout the
entire national forest region, to tackle
the forest fire situation with the advent
of spring now close at hand. In its
campaign of fire protection the govern
ment is seeking the earnest cooperation
of every resident and traveller on the
forests. Since it is estimated that the
annual loss from fires is approximately
$50, 600, 900, ninety per cent of which is
considered due to carelessness with fire
in the forests, and therefore preventable,
the forest service proposes to leave no
steps unturned this year to present the
facts before the public.
Campers and pleasure seekers on their
travels through the forests will be con-
fronted everywhere with signs and pla-
cards calling attention to the danger
threatening human lives and public
property through carelessness in their
use of camp fires, lighted cigars, and
cigarettes, while thousands of cards will
again be distributed containing valuable
information concerning the game laws
together with suggestions relative 10 the
pref ention and determination of fores,
fires. This plan of campaign was tried
out last year with results sufficiently en-
couraging, 1t is said, to warrant it's con
| Nnuance this yeay on a larger scale.

ELK COMING SOON TO
BLACK HILLS PRESERVE.

bbhSh Ii.
Wednesdays Pioneer-Times says, De
putty State Game Warden P. l.. Edholm
is in receipt Of a letter from State Game
Warden Hedrick, advising him to be in
readiness to meet the state warden at
Rapid City, in few days, when the lat
ter will be on his way to Gardner, Mont,
to superintend the loading of two car
loads of elk, which will Immediately be
transported to the newly established
state game preserve near Custer. 1t is
expected the shipment will contain fifty
head of elk.
Preparations have been made for their
reception at the Custer preserve, where
section of land has already been fenced,
in connection with the work of fencing
the larger preserve, which has been set
aside for their permanent use. The en-.
tire tract is twelve miles long by eight
miles wide. Eighteen miles of posts
had been set, but the work was suspend
ed when some antagonistic influence Sc
cured temporary tying-up of the fund
The last legislature appropriated SIS,
600 for the Black Hills preserve, $1,000
of which was to be devoted to the build
ing Of the forty-mile fence and So, 900 to
the securing and installing of fifty head
of elk, which are coming from the Vel.

State Game Warden Hedrick, Repre-
sentative Granger of Kadoka, and others
interested in seeing the Black Hills pre-

the people of this region to get busy
and see to it that the full amount of the
