MOST IMPORTANT ROUNDUP IN YEARS
Cattle Losses Will Be Found Out-An Army of
Cowboys and Cattlenen to En-
gage in the Work.

Preparations are rapidly being COM
pleted for the annual spring roundup
of cattle on the great ranges of West
ern South Dakota. Thousands of
bronchos are being gathered for the
use OF the small army of cowboys and
stockmen who will participate in the
roundup.
The roundup this spring will be
more important than for years past
owing to the severity of the spring
storms, two of which were experienced
during the month of April = much
later than usual
Opinions as to the losses differ
greatly, some stockmen believing that
the losses during the winter and
spring will exceed 10 and may go be-
You'd Is per cent. Those who take this
dismal vies state that the roundup
will develop the fact that the losses
especially in the Belle Fourche dis
trict, are greater than the owners are
willing to admit.
Other cattlemen take a more hope
full view and express the opinion that
the losses will not be greater than
usual, and will be about the average of
the past few years.
The result of the roundup will show
which view is correct, and because of
this, and the fact that the thousands of
head Of cattle which were last fall
turned loose on the open range to shift
for themselves-as was customary
were widely scattered by the storms Of
the winter and spring, keen interest is
taken in what this springs roundup
will develop.
Jack Whipple, general foreman Of
the roundup parties to be operated
under the direction Of the Western
South Dakota Stock Growers associa-
ton, has introduced new rule for the
government of the cowboys who will
work under his supervision, which
prohibits them carrying firearms
cards and liquor while engaged in the
roundup.
The first roundup party will leave
Fort Pierre May 12, and commence
work at the mouth of Yellow Medicine

History of Legislation.
The enactment of the Burke bill into
law, under which the executive proc
lamation has been promulgated, was
the most important accomplishment Of
the South Dakota delegation during
the recent session of congress. The
measure was the subject of friendly
controversy between the president and
the South Dakota members. On repre-
sensations made by persons interested
in the welfare of the Indians, the for
mer stated that it was his intention to
veto the bill if it came to him in the
form in which it passed the house.
The objection raised was that the
maximum price of three dollars as pro-
vided in the house bill was made
quate. After extended conferences on
the subject Of compromise was affect
ed by fixing the price at four dollars
an acre for the first three months
South Dakota members and railroad
men express the opinion that the Rose
bud opening will increase the popula-
ton of the state by from 10000 to So
600.
It is expected that many Of those
who fail to secure entries on the reser-
walton will take land in other sections
OF the state.

Crookston, Mimi, May 15.-There is
a larger acreage of wheat in the
ground in the northwestern portion of
the county at this time than ever be-
fore in any year where there have
been flood conditions when the snow
went off, such as prevailed this spring.
In the eastern portions Of the county
where the soil is sandy, the bulk of
the wheat is in, and many of the
farmers have finished wheat seeding.
The immense amount of ditch work
done by the county and state in West
ern Polk has proved of inestimable
value this spring. and the acreage
sown will be fully up to the average.
