ent state salaries are tied down by con-
stitutional restrictions and are lower

GUS state educational, penal and eharit

GRAIN AND HAY CONDITIONS.

The grain and hay condition for Gus
ter county is as good perhaps on the
whole as we have had Tor years. Un-
fortunately the country is short on stock
or in some cases it amounts to the same
thing as people were so badly affected
by the hard winter that they will be un-
able to hold what stock they succeeded
in bringing through till spring, but will
have to sell to get clear. Hay is a won.
derful crop and should be cut even II
the ranchers do not need it the coming
winter. Grain is fine and it looks az
though it will all be Gu. without frost.
Much wheat in the Argyle country is
affected by rust, enough to affect the
yield all the way from one to ten BUSH
els per acre. However, the price will
be good this year and even though the
total yield may be affected by rust or
bail the price will make it in most cases
a profitable crop.

IMPORTANT CHANGE IN BLACK
AND YELLOW TRAIL SUGGHSTEI


Last Saturday Mr.. E. G. Kneeland re
ceiyed wire from Mr.. o. NJ Phelps,
Secretary of the Black and Yellow Trail,
Huron, S. d., telling OF meeting of the
National Board of Directors at Huron
on the coming Wednesday to perfecl
plans for advertising and remarking the
Trail from Chicago to the Yellowstone
Park. Mr.. Phelps informed Mr.. Knee
land that change in the Trail would be
considered that might bring it from
Rapid City through Custer to Newcas,
tie, Wyo., and asked information rela
tive to road connections between Rapid
City to Newcastle via Custer. Also
would the Commercial Club undertake
q booster program to push road con-
struction in this territory should the
change be made by the Directors meet.
ing at Huron Mr.. Kneeland at once
got busy with the Directors available
and telegram was sent to the National
Secretary pledging support in every pos
sible manner if the change Is made.
Such change as proposed would be the
means of sending large share of the
Eastern tourists through Custer and in
cidently advertising our part ofthe Hills
in a manner which has not been known
before. At this date no word has beer
received relative to the action of the
Board but it is hoped that the change
will be recommended and adopted, and
Custer be put on the Black and yellow
trail from Chicago via Casters Battle
field to the National Park

CROUCH LINE SAVED
The Famous Croach Line Not to be
"Junked" But Will be Repaired
and Made Better.

1t was with great deal of regret that
people in the Black Hills read in the
papers some weeks ago that the famous
Crouch Line" the road of a "hundred
bridges and thousand curves" was to
be "scrapped" by the Company as the
washouts Of this spring had provided
the last straw" and the company would
not repair the road under the present
situation, but would tear up the tracks
and sell out the material.
When this was given out the Rapid
City Commercial Club got tusy and sent
a representative to Chicago to interview
the officials and get the best proposition
on the road possible. Basing action on
his report the business men OF Rapid
are taking over the road and will put II
in good shape, probably introduce light
er cars later on for passenger service
and make the road first class. With the
new increase in rates it is confidently
believed this road will become an asset
to the new owners. The Crouch line is
only about "a miles in mileage but no
more beautiful scenery exists in the
United States than the Rapid Canyon
through which this road passes to Mys-
tic. Several villages and scores Of SUN
mer camps depend on the road, beside
vast lumber districts and ranches are
tapped by the line.
1t is greatly to the credit of Rapid City
enterprise that quick action was posi-
bic thus saying the commercial interests
of the community as well as saving this
wonderful trip to the residents and tour
lists through the Black Hills.
