THE Sioux Reserve.
The SIOUX reserve.
The following letter is Of interest to
all prospective home seekers:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
JLTAKTMENT OF TIE TNTENTUN,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

Oh TIE tNlEhioh,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, ID. C., May II, 1889. J
/ am in receipt of your letter of the
30th uIt., inquiring whether or not the
lands embraced within the Sioux In
dian reservation have been surveyed
and the townships subdivided. Also if
the work will have to be done before
the lands are opened for settlement.
In reply yon are informed that the
great Sioux Indian reservation in Dako-
ia has not been surveyed, nor have any
of the townships been subdivided, ex-
cep. as hereinafter stated.
Some years since a few townships
situate in the extreme southern part of
the territory. in the vicinity Of the Pine
Ridge aud Rosebud Indian agencies,
were surveyed and subdivided for allot-
ment to the Indians.
In the event Of the Indians ceding to
government any portion Of said reserva-
ton, negotiations for which have been
and still are pending, the lands TINS
coded will doubtless be surveyed. Until
congress shall have formally approved
any cessions of said lands which may
hereafter be made. no action will be
taken by this department in the matter
Of surveying the lands or authorizing
the opening up Of the same for settle
ment. Very respectfully,
S. NJ. S~ToCKsLAGER
Commissioner.

THE ElActi0n

The election i'll Trego comfy passed
off very quietly in most of the precincts.
In one or two townships there was some
interest taken on account of township mat
tiers. AS regards the county ticket we
never saw such apathy and Indifference
by the Republican party in the county.
No attempt, scarcely, was made to work
for any portion of the ticket until the day
of election. The Democrats worked hard
for weeks. Taking into consideration
the character Of their nominees, the con.
centration made for register aud clerk by
the Democrats and the Indifference of the
Republicans We are forced to the conclu-
sion that it will be chilly day before the
Democrats hold the offices in Trego coun.
ty. The Democrats could not have NOM
mated better men than N. w. Shuler and
NJ. W. Mccoy. They both honored the
party when they accepted the nomination.
AL that was urged during the campaign
against either Of these gentlemen was
their politics. It isn't at all likely, that
Tor many years to come, the Democracy
VIII come so near securing even a partial
victory as they did this fall.

WHY grOwl at Kansas? It seems to be
the delight of the civilized world to growl
at Kansas. 1t has grown to be chronic
affection of many sections. As a state we
lead the world in many productions.
Sections there are that have their load of
affections to bear; but where is the coun-
try or state that has not? Go where you
will, you find men and families trying to
escape from the burdens that surround
them. They never pass beyond their
reach. Onrs is new state and this par
ticular part newer still. We expect to
meet with trials and burdens that eeem
hard to bear, and they may even come to
us heavier than We anticipate, but cheer
up, hope and work for better end. En-
courage one another, anG in but few
years this will surely be desirable place
to live, just as much as in the parts far
ther east of US, where they have passed
through the same experiences we are
now encompassed with. It is healthful,
pleasant and charming to the eye. Let
US try yet another willie and surely the
"plains' will produce for all.

The Kansas USury Law.

There seems to be misunderstanding
in regard to our usury law and several
papers have published what purported to
be recent decision upon that question
which certainly was never made by any
court. The law is so plain that it needs
no comment and, as it seems to us, needs
no construction by any attorney or court.
We give the latest legislation upon this
subject and the law took effect May "a.
1889.
Section l fixes the legal rate of interest
at per cent when no contract is made.
Section 2 provides as follows:
'The parties to any bond, bill, prom
issory note or other instrument of writing
for the payment or forbearance of money,
may stipulate therein for interest receiv-
able upon the amount of such bond, bill,
note or other instrument Of writing not to
exceed 10 per cent. per annum: PyoUyded,
that any person SO contracting for Il
greater rate OF interest than 10 per cent
per annum skaU forfeit all interest SO con-
traced for tn excess of 10 per cent; and in
addition thereto shall forfeit a sum of
money to be deducted from the amount
due from the principal and lawful inter-
est contracted for in excess of per cent
per annum."
This section may be brifly and clearly
summarized by saying that the lender
profits double the excess over 10 per cent.
contracted for, and in suit on note
tainted with usury the holder would Be-
cure judgement on his principal, first
deaHeiins sum therefrom equal to the
excess of interest contracted for, adding
to the sum SO remaining interest at 10
per cent.

OGDEN (Utah) Commercial: The Kansas
legislature presents queer problem. The
constitution provides that each county
shall have one representative, and limits
the whole number in the state to 125.
This leaves ten representatives to be d.
vided among the densely populated coun-
ties in the eastern portion of the state.
As result the west holds the balance of
power, thus giving a sparsely settled por-
ton OF the state control over the thickly
settled counties. The constitution can
not be amended, as the west knows good
thing when it sees it, and will not con-
sent TO an amendment which would rob
them of that power. In the meantime
the statesmen of the state have great
question always before them for consid-
GRAFTON and solution. The state has out
grown its constitution of 1861.
