Charles Pettibone, has gone far enough
in his count of names says the Argus
Leader, to ascertain that the names in the
directory will exceed 1850, gain of
about 1000 over last year. Mr.. Pettibone
is of the opinion that the increase will be
close to 1900 which would represent an
increase of population of 1850 on the ac-
cepted basis Of three. He says the
population as indicated by these figures
will be closer to IA 200 than $4,000. This
gain is about three times as large in pro-
portion TO size as that of st. Paul during
the last year, which with a population of
1872, 900 has gained but 1000 names in the
directory. Assuming Sioux Falls direc-
tory population to be $500, and using the
multiple three, common with directory
men, Sioux Falls population is 1896.
Using the multiple of four and half,
common in Chicago, Brooklyn and some
other cities, the population would be 90
250 Well, suppose we call it $4,000. until

Discussing The Cherokee Strip.


Recent dispatches from Indian territory
state that the Cherokee Cattle company
has offered to lease the lands of the Cher
okee strip from the Indians for term Of
years at large rental. It is further
stated that it is probable the company will
eventually buy the lands from the Indians.
and the commission recently appointed by
the presidentto negotiate with the Indians
for the purpose of ceding these lands to
the government in view of their being ul-
tlmately thrown open to public settlement
are aboutto begin their labors, and it is the
opinion OF the interior department Off
Gals that these offers alleged to have been
made by tie cattle company are evidently
intended to embarrass the commission in
its work, and it is believed that both the
cattle company and the more intelligent
Indians are perfectly aware Of the para
mount right of the United States to these
lands and that the Indians can neither
sell nor lease them without the consent of
| the government.
Secretary Noble was questioned as to
the purpose OF the government in the
event OF an attempted consummatlon of
the proposed lease or sale. He said he
did not care to discuss the matter ar nres-
emit, but would say, however, that the
government would recognize no com
petitors for these or any other lauls in
which it had an interest. If the interests
OF private parties conflict with those of the
government, the latter, he said must GER
tainly be put to one side.

The Sharon Divorce Case.

In the Sharon divorce case, appealed
from the superior court, the supreme court
at San Francisco has rendered decision
remanding the case for a new trial. The
supreme court finds that the late ex-Sena-

their marriage, if there was one, and their
relation as husband and wife secret, and
for this reason the marriage was never
consummated.
