Miller already has more fine trees
than any prairie town in this section
of the state, but many more are be-
ing set out this spring. Some years
ago a considerable amount OF the
property OF Miller both residence
and business, was owned by out
siders, persons who had taken the
property in on mortgage :oreclos-
ure during the disastrous wheat
days. They did not improve much.
And it is with no small degree oil
satisfaction now that We are able to
note change in this respect. Bust.
ness men and residents are rapidly
becoming owners OF this property,
and about the first step after secur-
ing title is to begin to fix up; paint
up, and plant trees. The improve.
ments now going on all over town,
will add considerably to the towns
aggregate value.

Prairie fires are not only a SEMI
annual nuisance, but are OF such ex'
treme danger and expense that for
bearance will cease to be a virtue
with a Disguised people some OF these
DAYS.. Men who set out fires take
chances OF being hauled up before a
court of justice and being rigidly
dealt with.

THE vlNlTA PARK CASE.
Continued from page ~

okee nation were school teachers
army officers and licensed traders
and that consequently the appel
lee, Tarrant, could not have beer
a lawful resident and taxpayer oil
Downingville. 8 But there is nc
presumption that Tarrant was moi
"a school teacher, or an army Off
Ger, or atrader, and the demurrer
admits that he was, resident and
ataxpayer Of the town. This was
an admission that he was a lawful
residentand the payer Of a legal
tax, and the suggestion in this re-
gard is unworthy Of consideration.
The second proposition of coun-
sci for the appellant is, that the
complaint states no cause for ac-
ton because the Cherokee nation
had the right to revoke in 1896 the
dedication which it made in 1871
and 20 sell the land dedicated to
public parks free from the trust
with which it was impressed. The
designation of this land as parks
or commons on the plat ofthe town
of Downingville, which was ac-
cepted and approved by the nation
in 1871, was in legal effect o grant
of the land for the exclusive use of
the public for park purposes and a
warranty on the part of the nation
which owned it, thatit would never
claim or use it for any other pur-
pose. The purchase of lots in ac-
cordance with this plat by the in
habitants and taxpayers Of Down
ingville, and their imposition upon
themselves, and their expenditure
of taxes to care for and improve
the parks was an acceptance of
this grant and covenant. Bell We.

Trustees Of Gallpolis, 7 Ohio 218,
221: Village Of Princeville v. Aut-
en-, N Ill. 1875 $50; Brown v. Man
ming, 6 Ohio sos. After the May
or and town council of the town of
Downingville was Incorporated by
the Cherokee nation, and after it
took possession and control of
these parks, this grant and accep-
lance became a three-fold contract.
1t was an agreement between the
nation and the %public-the people
for whose use the title of the park
was held-an agreement between
the mayor and the town council of
the town of DowniEgville and
these people, and an agreement
between the nation and the NUM-
tcipality, and all parties to this
agreement were equally bound to
hold and keep the land embraced
within these parks sacred to the
exclusive use of the public for park
purposes.
1t is not claimed that a private
proprietor who had plated and
land for a park in this
way could lawfully revoke that j
dedication and sell the park for
private use after lots had been /;
bought and the park had been i'm :
proved in reliance upon the plat. !
The contention is that the Chero-
kee nation was a trustee for, and J
represented the public, and that !
It's sale of the parks was a lawful '
release of the right Of the public {
0 use them as such by their legal {
rustee and representative. In Z

was rightiully granted.

a park to Its own use, aor to sell /
for its own benefit, as the Cherokee
nation does in the case at bar, 81
that these decisions do not rul'
this case. Moreover, the nation
in the case in hand, is the grantol
and covenantor, and upon indispu'
table principles it cannot be at the
same time the grantee and the
oovenantee, or the agent of such
grantee and covenantee to release
to itself the grant and covenant
which it has made. Mckinley v,
Williams, IA Fed. "a, 95, 20 c. C,
A. 312, 313, 36 U. s. App. TAO, 752,
and cases there cited. Besides,
we are unwilling to concsde that a
nation or a state which becomes
the proprietor OF a town site, plats
it, and dedicates it's streets and
parksto public use has any great
er or better righttorevoke or avoid
its grant or covenant than a private
proprietor would have. 1t may
be that either, before any rights
have accrued, can revoke the dedi-
cation, but after lots have been
sold, after streets have been grad
ed, after parks have been cared for
and improved according to the
plat, in other words, after rights
have vested in reliance upon the
dedication, we deny the right of
nation or of individual to revoke
it, or to release or destroy the
right of the public to the exclusive
use of the parks and streets for the
purpose for which they were
granted. Nations, states, and
municipalities have and exercise
two classes Of powers, M govern
mental, by which they rule their
people, the other proprietary or
business, by which they carry on
their business affairs as legal per-
sonalities. The same fundamental
principles Of justice, of law, and of
govern them in the exercise
of their powers of the latter class
control the acts of private
individuals. Ill. Trust and

364, $50. When the Cherokee ma
ion plated the town Of Downing
Vile, and when it undertook to
the dedication which that
plat evidenced, it was not exercis-
ng its governmental, but its pro-
orietary or business powers, and
t was subject to the same prin-
,iples of law and of equity, and to
he same rules of estoppel that
would have governed a private
proprietor under Ii k circum-
tances. A nation, state or mu-
licipality which dedicates land
hat it owns in the site of a town
o public use for the purpose .of a
ark, is as conclusively estopped,
S a private proprietor from re-
that dedication, from SELL
the park, and from appropria-
ing the land which it occupies to
ther purposes after lots have been
old, after the town has been set
led, and after the park has been
improved with moneys raised by
be taxation OF its residents and
axpayers in reliance upon the
rant and covenant which the ded-
evidences. Monongahela
