and the Black Hills passed into the
great beyond Friday morning, August
5th, at his home in Deadwood. Judge

1879, locating in Deadwood, and took up
the practice of law and made an envi.
able name for himself through num-

NEW DANCE LAW
Attorney General Byron S Payne Rules on
New Dance Hall Act of the Last
Legislature

Pierre, Aug. 9,-Community dances
where the primary purpose is for a
social gathering, even though a charge
is made for dancing, DO not come under
the provisions of the dance hall license
law enacted by the legislature last win
ter, Attorney General Byron $. Payne
holds in an opinion recently written by
him. This Interpretation of the law is
considered important because many pri-
vato dancing affairs have been discon-
tinued for fear of violating the law.
81 am convinced, Mr. Payne says in
the opinion which was written at the re-
quest of r. NJ Shield, states attorney for
McCook county, that this statute was
intended to and does apply to dance
halls, as defined by the statute, that are
located in a town or city as well as in
the country, unless such dance halls are
actually licensed and regulated by mum
icipal corporations.
81 am also convinced that such dance
hall, as defined by this statute does not
include every public dance where a
charge is made for dancing. The stat
ute is limited to a public dance, that is
conducted for the personal gain or profit
Of the person operating the same In
other words, the operator must be max

SOUTH DAKOTA POINTS A WAY.

!
Not every state in the eunion is so rich
" endowed with vacation spots as South
Dakota; yet there are none that are not
moderately we'll of in that respect.
But South Dakota has led the way in
securing her wealth for the use of her
citizens in a direction that might well
be followed by her negLbors.
At the tip top of the Black Hills lies
a region that one might well believe the
playground Of the mighty gods of some
bygone heroic age; where in a reckless
hour, they hurled mountain ranges at
one another, or tossed the rock ribs of
the earth back and forth across the
slowly earned channe Of some noun
tain stream, and then, 10 pursuit ofsome
other royal sport, left the strewn fields
for man to marvel over
Rocks, majestic, mysterious, range in
canyons and gorges, or lie piled groles-
quely resembling the form Of huge ami
mails AT every turn the traveller is
faced by some new, unexpected marvel
And smuggled at the heart of it is syl-
van Lake, a beautiful addition to the
scene from the hand man. For nearly
thirty years ago, the possibilities of The
place awakened visions Of future in
the mind of the homesteader who chose
it instead of the grazing lands not far
distant, and made the lake by blocking
a canyon with narrow dam But the
task of equipping the natural beautie-
of The locality for pleasure resort was
more than his means could compass in
the many years that he struggled % do
it, And when death approached him
last year, the state bought his interest in
the property 50 as to insure its being
kept within the financial reach of The
mass Of the people Had it fallen into
the possession Of the large hotel asso
citation who owned the mortgage, only
the favored would have been able to en-
JOY it.
And South Dakota has not embarked
upon her exploit timidly Custer is
only i've miles away but other than
through that place, the only way to gel
to sylvan Lake is by automobile Sol
South Dakota looked about for a road
builder known for accomplishing things,
and chose Col NJ L. Shade, who has
been well known throughout the couu-
try ever since being in charge of one of
the largest transport stations of the A
L. f. in France
When delegated by the Governor to
meet CIinton's expedition of boy scouts,
and pilot them through the Black HillsI
iu June, instead of finding at the state
border the army of young enthusiasts he
had expected to meet he was confront
ed by very downhearted, unenthusi-
tic delegation of 90 automobiles which
had been following each other for sew
eral days in a veritable continuous
cloud of dust. Everyone was covered
with dust and nearly everyone wanted
to 90 home. The army man instantly
recognized a case of dust choked morale.
But he quickly reorganized the com
pany into FIVE platoons, and sending
them out half an hour apart, led them
over roads of his own making, and
through scenes which must always re
main with them as a glorious memory.
Thus the expedition was saved.
In more than one respect, South Da'
kota points a way it would be we'll for
her neighbors to follow

tened for two hours. Among the vast
throng We noted DR.. O'Harra, of Rapid
City, and Judge Rice, of Deadwood
both men who know a good speech
when they hear one and they were lis
tening harder than anybody.
The Music? Well We haven't heard
such music for a long time and We are
still humming, Comm Thru the Rye
WAS TIE PARADE FOUR HOURS LONG
1t would have been if We had waited
for the eight or ten features that We had
counted upon and that did not arrive,
but accidents will happen and maybe it
doesn't pay every body to bother with a
float, but Mrs Scott thinks it does.
Some tourists saw her beautiful Rose
Quartz car, and through the Custer
County Bank located Mrs. Scott next
day, and the result was trip to the
mine and ninety dollar order in quartz
for Mrs. Scott. Sure it pays to put a
float in the parade and by the way it
was a good parade in spite of the lost
floats.
Eow MANY SPECIMENS ~ THE MONUMENT?
Well lady, | think there are about
one hundred different varieties and the
monument is about twenty feet high.
When you come back next summer we
will check it off together.
WHERE is SAM sHANKLAND's CABIN.
This from niece Of Sam Shankland,
Hot Springs lady who attended the
Dedication and what pleasure to be
able TO say that the shauklaud cabin
was "over there" and that it was being
preserved for posterity.
AND TIE CONCESSIONS?
All went lover the top for the good
Of the cause.
ARE WE SATISFIED

coming into Custer next summer.

JAPAN BALKS ON
 CONFERENCE DECISION

Washington, Dec. 2.-Japan is still holding her delegation in sus- pense with reference to the naval
 program and the Shantung propos- al. Thus far these have blocked the conference, and ths success of the conference appears endangered. Bar on Kato has demanded more time that he may digest the report of his naval experts. The situation is that Japan has not accerted the ratio giy- en her in the naval program. Upon this rests in large measure the sue cess of the conference. She does not state why she hestitates to ac- cept the ratio. Her position in the matter of the ShaJtuug province is still unknown. Tie fear that the United States-in case the program is reiected-will proceed to con- struct the greatest navy in the world is believed Lay yet influence Japan toward being more reason able before public opinion becomes too inhamed. The Chinese students paraded this afternoon in protest against their delegates, branding them as trators for not taking a firm stand and demanding the un- conditional surrender of Shantung

S2SB. .OOO FROM FIRST MILL
 RUN OF PREMIER ORE

In support of this claim can be stated the fact that the first mill run of the Premier Mines mill, milling ore from which all high grade ore had been sorted, produc- ed at the shelter from I6O tons Of concentrates, the sum of S2S6,OOO, And when it is realized that numer- ous properties show better values than the Premier at a similar stage of development, the most sanguine hopes of the wealth of this district stand a splendid chance of being realized.
 Stretching from here northwest for a distance of over 100 miles, this mineral area extends, and the not far distant future will see a mineral wealth produced that, if re- duced to dollars at this time, would stagger the imagination and could only be scIassed as visionary.

Major Edgerton. more recent ly, has been in the office of chief engineers at Washington, where he has shown much interest in Alaskan affairs.
 Major Edgerton's new duties make it impossible for him to con- tiuue to serve on the Alaska inter departmental board as representa- tive of the war department, it was stated, but no successor has as yet been appointed to replace him on that organization. Major Edger- tons services on the board have been of distinct value to Alaska and his retirement from it will be keen Iy felt" said George A.
