PROTEST CHANGE or NAME.

At the annual meeting OF the Society
Of Black Hills Pioneers at peadwood
Saturday evening there was no hesita-
ton on the part OF the members Of that
organization in putting the stamp of dis
approval on the propaganda to change
the name of "Back Hills" to "Bluck
Mountains" or BLACK Hills Mountains,
or any other similar designation. Com
ing from an association which represents
the actual pioneers into the Black Hills,
the men and women who have made il
possible for later generations to estab
lsh homes here AMI enjoy the delight
and comfort of one Of the richest regions
in the world without having to undergo
the trials and dlscomforts aud perils
which afflicted the real pioneers, this
unanimous action on the part Of the So
ciety of Black Hills Pioneers should for
a time at least put the quietus on the
effort being made by others to change
names at this late date. There is no
good or substantial reason advanced for
making such change, and so far as the
great majority o! Black Killers are con-
cerned it will never be known by any
other title than that which has made it
famous during the past fifty years The
action OF the society confirms the gen
era belief hat the propaganda for such
change as indicated does not originate
from actual pioneers, but rather fronl
those who are in the general classified
ton of "tenderfeet '-Spearfish Mail.
