Valuable Acquisition.
Donovan will prove a valuable acqui-

the bases. A more desirable man could
hardly have been obtained. Then, too,
he il considered some pumpkins as q
manager. as is demonstrated by the fact
that last year ne pulled down 5000 for
plotting the Cardinals for one season.

GROW MORE TIMBER IN BLACK HILLS

The trip Of Secretary Wilson of the
agricultural department of Washing

was one Of great education to him.
This he states publicly. He has now
returned to Washington for the pur-
pose of finding, if possible, some way
Of destroying the pine beetle which
for the past eight or tel years has
been killing off the pine forests of
this reserve. There are many thou
sands Of acres of ground that are to-
tally bare of pine trees.
He states that he did not realize the
Importance of the mining industry Of
the Black Hills; that from all ap-
pearances there will be mining here
for a thousand years hence. In order
to continue mining it will be necessary
to plant more trees to take the places
of the large areas which have been
burned or destroyed by the bug. He
will experiment with different kinds
Of tree seeds to find one that will be a

Good LANDS ARE LEFT ON THE ROSEBUD
Many Winners Fail to File Because Lottery Was Not
the Get-Rich-Quick Affair They Supposed.

G. n. Bates, Jr., a member of the
Gregory County Locating company, re-
turned to Yankton from Bonesteel,
where he has been engaged in locating
the lucky one in the great Rosebud
lottery. He says there is still a guam
THY of irst-class land not taken. This
is due partly to the fact that land
seekers have been alarmed by reports
that they would be swindled by the
locating agents and have done their
own locating, and partly to the fact
that not all the lucky ones have filed.
Out Of the first 400 there were 81
who made entries. Those who have
failed to file sought to get rich quick
at the expense Of the government.
They never intended to farm the land,
and when they found they had not
drawn a fortune, but a farm, they re-
fused to come to the mark. There is
still a large number of good claims.
William Brewer of Yankton, who
drew a claim, found his mother, who
had been lost to him for fifteen years.
Mr.. Brewers name in the list of the
2,400 winners caught the attention OF
Mrs. Brewer in San Francisco, and be-
lieving he was her son she wrote him.
Mr.. Brewer had made numerous ef-
forts to locate his relatives.

The prospect OF e~ncountering the
Dakota billiards. on the bleak prairies
of the Rosebud next February has re-
suited in the preparation of a petition
to the government land Office by the
homesteaders who are filing on the
claims at Bonesteel, asking that the
time for making settlement on the
claims be extended from six to eight
months.
Six months would end about the
middle Of February and they do not
like the prospect Of taking up their
life on the farms in the dead Of win
ter. 1t would be necessary to live on
the farms practically all the winter,
for it would be impossible to build in
February, and a house could not be
left ~unoccupied through the winter
with safety.
Eight hundred numbers have been
called, without incident. Out Of these,
80 have failed to respond to their
names, thus FORGETTING their right to
file.

The manager of an uptown detec-
tive agency, who had warned women
not to reply to his advertisement, said
the other day:
Outside of special lines in depart
ment store work, women do not make
good detectives. They ooh at facts as
they want them to be, not as they are,
and WORK on those lines. They jump
at conclusions quickly and cling to
them beyond all reason. They work
for spectacular effect and not for land

quick grower. If successful he will
send several car loads of seeds to the
Black Hills early in the spring. Three
years ago Capt. Bullock, forest super
visor of this district, experimental
with pine seeds by throwing them
over the snow early in the spring.
They took root and have made a
thrifty growth ever since. Capt. Bull
lock states that the soil in the Hills
is peculiarly adapted to making re-
growths of pine trees.
Capt. Bullock proposed to Secretary
Wilson the installing of a wireless tel
egraph station in Deadwood and in
each of the subdivisions Of his reserve
This service will be of great value to
the reserve, especially in case of fire,
when by signaling, assistance can be
brought from any part OF the district
Capt. Bullock states that many of the
districts where the heaviest timber
formerly grew are now barren, hav-
ing been burned over by fire. These
districts can be replanted with trees
only by hand, since 1t would take too
long a time for the wind and birds to
carry the seeds to them.
