The Yanktop Lands.

All signs now indicate that it may
be some time before the Yankton In
dian reservation is opened for settle
ment. The commissioners who have
been negotiating with these Indians
during the past few months for the
REIMBURSEMENT of portion OF their
reservation to the government, Sc
cured the required number of sigma
lures, but many Of the Indians now
claim that they signed the treaty ln-
der mistaken idea of what it really
provided for, and in consequence the
Indians threaten to send delegation
of chiefs to Washington to fight the
ratification Of the treaty by congress
at Its next session. The treaty nego-
tiated by the commissioners must be
ratified by congress before the reser-
walton can be opened for settlement.
and it is before that body that the
Indians propose to block further
steps. Should they succeed, it will
be a great Disappointment to the hum
dreds Of homesteaders who have had
their eyes cast longingly in that di-
rection for several years.

Tree Growing.

G. e. Kittenger in Dakota Farmer:
Now that people can prove up on tree
claims without having any trees, and
the fact that at least nine-tenths of
all who have tried to grow trees have
failed, presume there will not be
much planting in the near future.
There are several reasons why so
many have failed. OF course 1 am
willing to admit that the climatic
conditions have been unfavorable,
but that is not the only reason. In
the first place very few trees were
properly planted, owing partly to
ignorance of how the work ought to
be done, and partly to the great hur-
ry that people were in at the time
the tress should have been planted.
Lack of cultivation, however, has
been the one thing that has caused
more trees to die than any other one
thing, or I think might safely say
than all other causes combined.
Nature grows trees without culti-
vatton, but generally plants them
near the water. Why not take the
hint and plant that slough in your
wheat field. You know it is so wet at
seeding time that you hate to drive
through it and If you sow any grain it
browns out. Now If every wet place
on your farm had a grove Of trees in
1t wouldn't you have good many
trees? Perhaps you will say that
late in the season the water all dries
out and the ground bakes SO hard
that all the trees would die. Well
just after the water dries out suppose
you take that old straw stack and
spread it among your trees. 1t will
be good way to get rid OF your sur
plus straw. Then if your trees don't
grow you may conscienciously say
that you have done your best and If
you will come before me l will helm
you to make affidavit to that effect.

IN rns pAD LANDS.

IN THE RAD LANDS.
Some Important Fossils That Have Been
Found There-The Horses Ancestor.
Along the eastern slope of the
Black Hills is a stretch of barren,
broken country, known as the. Bad
Lands of South Dakota. At dis
tance there appears nothing remark
able about it, and it is usually
supposed to be plateau, perfectly
level and devoid OF vegetation. An
attempt to explore it is soon found
very difficult, II, in fact, not entirely
impossible, as there is succession of
deep and narrow canyons or gorges,
with perpendicular walls, and these,
with but few exceptions, have no
access. The material is a mixture of
clay, sand and gravel, baked very
hard, which, at period perhaps a
thousand years ago, was deposited
there by water. The theory ad-
vanced by savants of geology and
natural history is that at one time a
great lake existed, which extended
from the Northern Pacific road On
the north to southern Kansas on the
south, and between the Missouri
river and the Black Hills, the waters
of which slowly subsidized, and this
vast area of clay and sediment, most
of which has been carried away by
erosion, has left elevated patches.
This section has been extensively
explored by students of natural his
tory and many valuable fossils and
petrifactions unearthed. Last fall a
party composed of DIR. j. L. Wort
man, collector Of specimens for the
American Museum of Natural His
tory at New York and also member
Of the National Academy of Science,
o. A. Peterson, also a collector for
that institution and an emincnt
scientist, and James w. Gidley, of
Whitewood, spent several months in
that country and obtained fine col
lection of fossils, petrifactions and
fossil remains of the mamalia, includ-
ing IS different species of animals, all
ot which are extinct. Among them
we're the ancestors of the horse, dog,
cat, hog and rhinoceros families.
One specimen taken out was the
skeleton of a rhinoceros sixteen feet
long: its skull was thirty-six inches
long and there were two large horns,
one on either side of the nose. vastly
different from the rhinoceros of this
and many past ages. 1t was in a
remarkable state of preservation and
has been mounted and placed on
exhibition in the American Museum.
The collection weighed IL, 200 pounds.
The party have planned another
trip which will probably consume
the time from April until the
storms Of next winter drive them to
more congenial haunts. Messrs.
Workman and Peterson are expected
to arrive in Deaawood in a few days,
and will be met by Mr.. Gidley and
proceed to the Bad Lands. They are
enthusiastic over the discoveries
made and the extraordinary posi-.
bilities and do not hesitate to pro.
nounce it the most wonderful country
they have explored in all Their
research. The party expect some
time IN nyn1Oro tho so,,f l,,poc< orv
portion Of Wyoming, where some
very rare and valuable specimens Of
the eocene tertiary period have reen

and the horse with five toes, the
ancestor of the common horse.

MINI ESOTA Ne WIS.
A Great Scheme.

q IA few days ago articles Of incorpora-
tion were, filed with the secretary of
state for q company known al, the Min
nesotat Canal company. Upon the face
it looked as though the organization
was effected for the purpose of build
ing canal from Duluth to the Twin
Cities. 1t now develops that this is
secondary consideration, the prime OBJ
ject being to furnish water power for
Duluth.
The first operations of the company
point six or seven miles above Cloquet
on the St. Louis river to Duluth. Pres
ident Henry Curtis Spalding, of the
company, said today that so miles of
pavigable canal will be built within a
year. The purpose of the company is
to furnish cheap transportation in the
season of navigation, and good level
road for heavy hauling in the winter
time. The chief and most important
featuring industries of Duluth and vi
cinity with cheap power. The canal
will be brought into the city at an ele-
walton of $50 or $40 feet above the level
Of Lake Superior, and will run along
the brow of the hill.
The project means more for Duluth
and the head of the lakes, if carried to,
a successful completion, than anything
that man has yet been able to do for
these cities. Greater power will be de-
veloped than can be furnished at either
Minneapolis, Holyoke, Lawrence or
Manchester.
The preliminary surveys have been
completed and the necessary legisla-
ton from state secured. Not till the
company filed it's articles was the cat
let out. The project involves the con-
struction of dam across the St. Louis
river at q point just where the canal is
to lead from the river. A portion Of
the river will be incorporated in the
system. The canal will be 20 feet deep
and 100 feet wide. The course of the
canal from the river to Duluth will not
be exactly an air line, but it is much
shorter than the course taken by the
river. The dam will be 500 feet long.
Large docks will be built on the canal
at West Duluth and Duluth. Before
the work in this county is completed
the company expects to expend SIS, o0o,-
600 in improvements of waterways.
When the canal is completed, Mr..
Spalding says, the power furnished bv
the company will not be impeded by
back water in time of freshets, nor di-
minished from low water in time of
drouth. The capital of the concern is
81, 0o0,o 900, and it's officers are: Henry
Curtis spalding of Duluth, president;
Milton Weston Of Chicago. vice presi-
dent; Frank F. Davis of Minneapolis,
secretary; A. c. Martin of Chicago,
treasurer. Other prominent persons in
terested are: Flavius j. Barber, Perci-
val Steele, S. M. Mock, of Chicago.
