IT, Commissions Report.
The Philippine commission in it's annual
report, which is the third it has made,
says at the outset:
t'The instruction as an organized at
tempt to subvert the authority of the
United States in these islands is entirely
at an end and the whole of the Christian
Filipino population, with the exception OF
q few thousand people in the Moro coun-
try In Isolated towns, are enjoying civil
government" ga ..-. H.
The commission urges that it is the duty
of the United States to secure to the
PhilippinesIa stable currency as that used
by the people of the United States. 49,.
The report of the commission concludes
with the following recommended tons
which it respectfully urges upon the con
sideration of congress: 49,,
First-Ihe establishment of gold standard in
the Philippines and of banking institutions elm:
powered to issue circulating banka notes under
proper safeguards. 4-"-- f. >....- =
second-The reduction of at least 70 per cent
Of the Dingley rates of duty upon goods I'M
ported into the United States from the Philip
pines. - r...
Third-An amendment of the Philippine act SC
that the limitation upon lands which may be SOLD
to or be held by individuals corporations from
the public domain shall be increased to Is acres
or in the alternative so that the government shall
be given the power to lease for ten years upor
competitive bidding public land of not more thar
5000 acres. 1t says this legislation is neces
sary to the development of the islands, and that
as the government owns 65, Ooo. 90 out of 10000
900 acres of the archipelago. there is no danger
of concentrating in individuals or corporations.

Some Losses Of Cattle Reported Along
II. the Belle .Fourche River.
BELLE .FOURCHE. s. D-The winter
has been extremely hard on cattle along
the Belle 'Fourche river. and there has
been some loss owing to the heavy snow,
which has been crusted over much Of the
time The ground was covered to the
depth of about a. foot for over a week,
and it was not uncommon to see cattle
with the skin torn from their legs as
high Is the knees, from walking through
the ice-crusted snow.
Many animals have since been found
dead along the river bottom, having evil
Gently starved and frozen to death. This
condition did not extend more. than five
Or six miles north. of the Belle Fourche
river. Beginning at Indian creek. on the
ncrth there was scarcely any snow. The
cattle outfits have kept their herds un-
der careful surveillance, and have en-
deavOred to turn them away from the
regions where food was not plentiful.
The building improvements of Belle
Fourche amounted to $66,320 in 1902, this
being a figure greater than any pre-
vious year has shown. 1t is asserted
that no other town in western South Da-
kota outside. of Deadwood and Lead has
experienced a. growth to compare with
that Of. this place. -.

Experience has demonstrated that a good

wood trees at cost Of not exceeding Sc
I a thousand feet, or about one-tllird the
price of ordinary lumber in the local mar

used in the construction Of all kinds OF
