New Yorker, which says:
This machine digs, cleans, sorts and
delivers the potatoes into baskets. The
separator part works on the am prin-
ciple as the ordinary grain thrasher. so
that those who use il may properly
speak Of thrashihg their potato crop.
There IS apparently nothing to pre-
vent small stones CT hard Jumps Of dirt
from getting in with the tubers. and
the natural conclusion is that the ma
chine is intended only for use on soil
that is free from stones and not wet
or lumpy.
It ought to work to perfection on the
prairie lands OF the central west. and
IL II should come into general use the
probabilities are that the bulk of the
potatoes could be grown on these
smooth lands on a large scale at a
figure which could not possibly be met
BY the small grower IN the east. who
must depend largely On hand labor.

Harding,s Case Over.

1t Is stated at the interior department
that the case of Mai. Harding, former
Indian agent at Yankton, 3. D., Is a closed
incident. President Roosevelt has
reviewed the case and he sustains the
action of Secretary Hitchcock in dismiss-
ing Harding. This Is the elimination of
one of the most interesting contests over
Indian patronage that has taken place for
some time. Harding will not only not be
reinstated, but the agency has been
abolished, and from present indications
the South Dakota delegation will have no
success If a movement il made to have
another ageat appointed. The agency

white citizen of the United States.
He is allowed to lease for any length

The prospectus was issued during
the latter part of last year, extols the
possibilities of the Indian Territory
and then proceeds:
up to this time the Indian has been
prohibited by law from selling his
land, and has only been allowed to
lease it for one year at time. Con
