STATE SHIPS COAL
First Consignment of Coal Under State
Ownership Consists of Five Cars.
To Increase.

Pierre, S d., Oct THE first ship
ment of coal from the state mine was
made the last Of last week, amounting
to five cars, which went to towns in the
northern part Of the state which have
been using coal from this mine in the
past. While It was necessary to haul
the coal three and half miles to load
1t, 1t was placed on the cars at a cost OF
$500 ton, and as soon as the spur line
is completed to the mine it can be load
ed at lower rate. 1t is expected that
the improvements will be completed in
the mine by the middle of next month
after which the output will be ten cars
a day, and this will be supplied to South
Dakota people at the cost of mining and
freight. The facts that the towns which
have been using the coal from that mine
are anxious TO continue with the same
grade of coal is evidence that it is salts
factory. The state did lot Of investi-
eating before making purchase and
has secured good property at reason
able price, and the people of the state
will be helped out with several hun
dred cars of coal the coming winter. If
a decent freight rate could be secured
from these mines there is no reasons
why the demand for eastern coal should
not be materially decreased in South

MANY ATTEND BLACK

AN ~ 4 A9ALlIO W L H Al - W T. T. 4 o.
The meeting which was called Mon
day night to consider changing tn,
course Of the Black and Yellow Trai,
was attended by representatives from.
nearly every large town in the Black
Hills.
The changes which were proposed
would cut out Deadwood and Lead would
run directly from Whitewood to Sun.
dance, through Spearfsh. The senti-
ment expressed az ne meeting however,
was to run the trail from Sturgis to
Deadwood via Boulder canyon which
would thereby cut Spearfish and White.
wood out entirely.
This was suggested for the reason that
the Custer Battlefield trail runs through
Spearfish to Sundance, and makes two
large highways running through the
town.
If suggestions were carried out the
trail will pass through Lead, and con
tnue through the west fork of Speartsh
canyon on to Newcastle.
A strong delegation from Newcastle
favoring this plan were present, and
boosted strongly for their home town
No action was taken by the committee
last night, but the matter has been taken
under advisement, and will be reported
to the State Highway Commission. -

IL
Custer County has considerable money
to its credit from the sale Of Christmas
seals in the past, but has never had
enOu. a to insure the services Of coun.
ty nurse for long enough time to do
the work right.
According to Mr. II. NJ Cass, State
Director OF the seal sale, Custer County
will be given the first available nurse
after January lst. The work of @ese
nurses is to visit all town and rural
schools examining the children and
making recommendations herever nee
essary.
Custer County is expected to raise
enough money through the sale OF
Health Bonds and Christmas Seals to
cover the expenses Of the Public Health
work for the succeeding year If Custer
County can raise 5000 90 we are assured
that a nurse will be able to stay long
enough to do some good 5000 means
about l5 cents per capita, which should
be easy enough.
Miss Ethel Montgomery, Supt. oi
Schools, will have charge of the sale in
