Cass Lake, Mimi, Dec. 3.-There is great
rejoicing among the occupants of the new
townsite of Richards, the first station east
of Cass Lake, on the Eastern Minnesota
railway, because of the decision of the
secretary of the interior, holding that their
contention that they were entitled, under
the townsite law, passed last March, to the
land occupied toWnsite, is valid
The news came on Monday, Just in time
to prevent the settlers from being forcibly
elected from the land. Captain c. II.
Beaulieau, acting Indian agent in charge
at Bena, had made all preparations to
order the settlers off. and if he had not
been obeyed would undoubtedly have used
force to carry out his orders In fact, YER
bal orders had been issued to call out all
the Indians: on the reservation, If the set
tiers did not leave peaceably.
This would not have been at all neces-
sary, as the settlers would have left the
premises, but not without protest. AS it
was the orders for Major Scott were not
transmitted to Captain Beaulieau until
Tuesday noon.
Now that the Indian authorities have
been" instructed not to interfere with the
occupants of the townsite, the matter of
making improvements will be rushed. and
soon houses will dot a large portion of the
800 acres taken for a townsite. AS 1t will
be the only townsite authorized In the re-
Gently created forest reserve, the develop
ment will be watched with much interest.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Dec. 3.-Probably
the drifting Of range stock is the best in
dication Of short pasture. During the
late cold snap, lasting one week, with al
most continuous northwest winds, cattle
drifted in many instances fifty miles,
About the close Of the cold weather Is, 900
head of cattle had to be driven back from
the settlements along. the Belle Fourche
river, where they had congested. These
cattle had been grazing all over a large
v-shaped tract of land between Belle
.Fourche and Indian creek. During the
storm they kept moving, until they came
together at the point, Of the 1''v,'a where
they were really helpless and would have
died by the thousands had they not been
driven back and scattered on the range
The extreme cold weather has frozen up
range cattle are suffering severely for ack
of water.
Belle Fourche Irrigation Ditch.
The agitation for national irrigation is
attracting many settlers into western
South Dakota. Some have filed home
steads under the projected government
ditch. This, ditch, known as the Belle
Fourche project, upon which corps of
surveyors worked thru the entire summer,
will, if put in operation, reclaim 10O, 600
acres and entail an outlay Of nearly
81, 900, 900.
The magnitude Of this undertaking will
be better understood when it is stated that
after a quarter of a century by using all
the energy of settlers, with all the means
they could spare and by getting large cap
ital from eastern states interested In cor
porate ditch companies, less than $4,000
acres Of land are at present under irri-
cation in the Black Hills. The Belle
Fourche project, which appears to have
the right of way in the line of irrigation in
South Dakota, will furnish more than 1900
homesteads of eighty acres each. This
would add to the farming population OF
Butte county more than 5000, or three
times the present census.
Butte county is bigger than the state
of Connecticut, and when this program is
fully developed it will grow more agricul-
tural products than is at present grown
on all the lands in South Dakota, west OF
the Missouri. This will mean cheaper
products for the mines and enable them tc
work ores of lower grade. and increase
| their outputs.

Helena, Mont, Dec. Sit is learned on
excellent authority that Heinze has de-
clded not to contest seriously the passage
Tor the fair trials bin which has been intro
duced at the extraordinary session of the
legislature. Neither will he oppose the
adoption of the measure which gives the
supreme court power to review facts in
equity cases.
John MacGinniss, vice president Of
'Helnze's ore purchasing company and floor
leader in the lower branch, was asked how
long he expected to remain in Helena.
AS soon as the Arnalgamated gets thru, -
was the reply. $3.50
Asked If this meant no opposition would
be made to the so-called Analgamated
measures, Mr.. MacGinniss said:
We are willing to take the chances that
the legislature cannot pass a bill which
will run the constitutional gauntlet =.
Thus it will be seen that Heinze expects
to offer nc more than nominal resistance
to the passage OF these two bills which the
Anna gamated company declares are nee
essary to its business life in Montana.

next week The house late YESTERDAY

without opposition, three or four scattering

ate joint memorial addressed to the presi-2
| dent Of the United States praying for the
| cancellation Of the recent order withdraw

The memorial states that this withdrawal
of lands wil7result disa strously to the peo-s
pie and will avail nothing toward the adj
ivancement Of irrigation by the govern
ment because the field is already occupied
