LAND FILINGS AT PIERRE.
Movement of Homeseekers Gather
ing Momentum All the Time.

Movement of Homrseekers Gather
ing Momentum All the Time.
The movement OF homeseekers into
the state Is increasing. and the number
of filings on government land for the
first half of this month Is equal to the
total for last month. The filings during
the next few days will be heavy. as
about 100 homeseehers arrived Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, and are now
out looking over the country to make
their selections, while others are known
to be on the road. The filings at Pierre
this week will probably reach 100
Besides those who are looking for
homesteads are many who desire TO
purchase extensive tracts of land, as
well as those who would rather pur-
chase the land they desire outright
than take the time TO homestead. At
ter Eastern farmers have completed
their seeding, the rush will really COM
mence, and the country between Pierre
and the Black Hills win receive several
thousand settlers before the end of the
summer.

IN MISSOURI AND Gov
FIsCATED IN NEW YORK

Judge Clarke OF st. Louis has con.
victed and fined heavily a number q,
grocers for selling baking powders CON-
tanning alum.
The week before the Health Depar,.
ment of New York seized ouantitv =,
stuff being sold for baking powder
which they fouad was made from alum,
mixed with ground rock, and dumped e.
into the river.
The Health Authorities are thus tal-
ing effective means to prevent the in
PRODUCTION into our markets of inturi-
Gus substitutes in place of wholesome
baking powders.
AS alum costs only two cents
pound, there is a great temptation for
those manufacturers who make substi.
tutes and imitation goods, to use it.
Alum baking powders can be detected
by the health authorities by chemica,
analysis. but the ordinary housekeeper
whose assistance In protecting the
health of the people is important. can
not make a chemical examination. She
may easily know the alum powders.
how ever, from the fact that they
are sold at from ten to twenty
cents for a pound can, or that some
prize--like a spoon or glass, or piece OF
crockery, or wooden ware-is given
with the powder as an iuducement.
AS the people continue to realize the
Importance of this subject and consum-
ers insist on having baking powder of
established name and character, and as
the health authorities continue their
vigorous crusades, the alum danger
will, 1t is hoped. finally be driven from
our homes.

The Crop Prospect Never Better I'm
the Hills Country.
The indications are considered good
for a big crop In the valleys skirting
the Black Hills this summer. The soil
contains more moisture than IT has be-
fore for fifteen years, and yet II is In
excellent condition for working. Near
" all of the spring seeding has been
done, and in many instances vegetables
are being planted Fall-sown seed has
attained a good growth, and the grass
on the meadows will make fair feed In
two weeks The gardeners have their
early beds fairly under way, and the
prospects point to home grown vegeta-
bles earlier than ever before.
Many of the farmers in the Spearfish
valley and on the Centennial and Red
water have fed large numbers of cattle
during the winter. These have been
turned out and started for the sum-
mer ranges. in better flesh than when
they went into winter quarters. There
Is a large amount OF feed left over for
another year.

The Big Stone Brick company has
bought out the interest OF Charles Bech-

Stone, and has added adjacent terrific
~ enough to furnish brick material to
last a lifetime. The old company has
transferred it's holdings TO a new cor

The new company has ordered new
brick machine with a capacity OF 10000
bricks per day. the one now in use max
ing about 10000. Carloads OF lumber
are now on the way TO build new dry
ing sheds, AMI several new kilns will be
put up at once. AS fast as these i'm
provements are completed more labor
ers will be employed, and II is expected
that before fall forty or fifty men will
be employed.
The company has bought a half-sec-
ton OF timber land in Northern Mime
sofa. and in the fall. when the brick
ing season closes. The employees who de-
sire to do so will go TO this land and
cut cord wood during the winter for use
the next summer. The company will
use about 1000 cords OF wood next sea-
son, which will be cut on its own land.
The clay has been analysed by ex-
perts and pronoun ed equal to any IN
the country for brick making. and to
be superior to most clays now used for
that purpose in the Northwest.

All Right.
South Dakota's rl9n of licensing dali
rymen and requiring creamery operat-
ors to pass a state examination Is APP
proved by Dairy Commissioner McCon-
nell OF Minnesota. He says:
cooperative creameries, hiring In
experienced buttermakers. Is one OF the
greatest existing evils which have crept
into the dairy system, and is the cause
of more dissatisfaction and ruination
than all the others combined. 1t is one
of the encouraging features of the
creamery trust. One years's expert
ence. perhaps, was enough five or ten
years ago, but 1t is altogether too short
now, as a man can only learn few OF
the fundamental principles of the bust
ness in-one year, and the second should
be devoted to practice and study, then
a turn at a dairy school, to learn some
thing of the science. After such expe-
rience and training, a man may be In
position To take charge of a creamery;
and If he is an adept scholar, ambitious,

BoERs DESTROY MANY FARMS.
Paper Published by
the English.

London, April 81. A parliamentary
paper was issued by the government to-
day. dealing with operations In South
Africa. IT states that since June of last
year the Beers destroyed farms in TWEEN
ty-one districts OF the Cape Colony and
Natal.
The official London Gazette publishes
dispatch from Lord Kitchener, mailed
from Pretoria in March, reviewing the
operations since Feb. 10. II adds little
to what has already been published.
The full details of Lord Methuen's re-
verse and capture had not been received
at the time the dispatch was written.
1t describes the sweeping movements In
the wilge river and Kip river districts,
eliminating in Gen. Dewet's partial sue
cessful break through on Feb. %, when
Col Garratt's new Zealand corps had
fifty-eight casualties.
The dispatch says that their conduct
reflected the highest credit and nothing
could be finer than their behavior. Lord
Kitchener mentions ninety officers and
153 on-commissioned Officers and men
for conspicuous gallantry. Many of the
latter are dead.

Washington, Alril %. - The house
yesterday sent the oleomargarine bill
to conference after agreeing to the
Senate amendments with some modifi-
cations suggested by the agricultural
committee. The opponents OF the meas
IRE offered a number of amendments,
the principal one of which was designed
to place renovated butter on the same
footing with oleomargarine, but they
were overwhelmingly voted down. The

the agricultural appropriation bill. Mr.
Fox of Mississippi made an exhaustive
speech IL defense of the suffrage clause

1T WOULD END LITIGATION.
N. r. May Buy the washburn, Bay
field ~ Iron River.

Washburn, April q. - 1t is learned
from the most reliable sources here to-
day that the Northern Pacific directory
has made an offer for the property of
the Washburn. Bayfield, & Iron River
railroad and there is every reason to be-
lieve that Receiver A. c. Frost will
accept the offer. The road has been idle
for several weeks. There has been an
endless amount OF litigation over the
roads affairs and the case has been be-
fore nearly all the state and federal
judges, one phase of the litigation being
the sentencing of the district attorney
and sheriff TO the Dane county Jail Cor
sixty days and the filming Of a half dozen
more prominent citizens for contempt OF
the federal courts orders. The present
deal will likely go through in which
event il will be an advantageous thing
for this city and will likely terminate
the litigation which has been pending.
