1 of South Dakota. which annually brings
into the state in the neighborhood OF
| $40,000,000, will be represented at the
ST. Louis exposition by a suitable exhibit.
The South Dakota worlds fair commits
sion, owing to the comparatively snail
appropriation at its disposal, had intend
ed to make an exhibit only of the agr-
cultural educational and mining inter-
ests of the state. However it is now an
nouneed by T. w. Peterson, chairman of
the legislative committee of the South
| Dakota Stock Breeders AssocR ton, that
he has been officially advised by the
| South DAKOTA commission that it has
been decided to make a small appropria-
1 ton for a live stock exhibit from this
state at the exposition. The members
| of the commission have reduced the APP
| preparations for some Of the ether de-
partments so the stock breeders of South
Dakota may be represented. Members
of the association will contribute literally
and thus increase the appropriation to be
made for the purpose by the worlds fair
commission, insuring a very creditabl'
exhibit Of South Dakota stock at tn,
! exposition.
In leasing pastures on Indian reserva-
| tons the party making the lease has to
consider the alotments inside the past
ure which have been taken by the In
dians as their severalty tracts, and also
consider that each Indian is allowed to
! Craze a specified number of cattle inside
the pasture. On Cheyenne River reser-
walton number of the Indians holding
severalty tracts are fencing their individ-
ual holdings, but will continue to Craze
their cattle in the general pasture This
! cuts down the grazing area and is not to
the liking of the holders Of the leases,
but as it is within the rights of the In
dams under the lease they will probably
go ahead. The reds have ordered 47,vvv
pounds of wire for fences in one pasture
! alone.
Modern day educational methods do not
! stand in favor with the older generation.
| The result Of the recent examinations
in this state woui1a SNOW that there may
be something more than old Fashioned
ideas in this. In the spring examinations
there were seventeen applicants fer state
certificates, of which thirteen secured
| their certificates and four We're rejected.
| For first grade certificates 104 took the
examination and but SO passed, but out
| VI tht w ISJtIISu were given StCODu
| grade certificates, and 5 failed to secure
| certificates of any grade. Out of 53S
| applicants for second grades, 303 passed
and 235 failed. The total number of
second grade certificates granted was
BS2.
Some time ago when Gov. Herreid was
at Cherry Creek agency, Hump, one OF
| the old chiefs at that agency, wanted to
know if the governor could not assist
him in getting a pension which he had
| applied for as a government scout in the
| service in the United States. Gov. Her
| reid brought the matter to the atten-
| ton of the South Dakota delegation at
| Washington, and the result is that Hump
has just been granted pension of Sc per
month with back pay amounting to ST.
156, which will be paid to him in lump
sum. The old Indian was a government
scout for years, working under Gen.
Miles, who in recommending q pension
for the old man. said: "He was the
bravest man l ever knew"
s*
1t will interest all South Dakotans to
know that General Secretary Won Og-
den Vogt, of the Worlds United Society
of Christian Endeavor, who has been ell
gagged for the state G.. e. convention in
Sioux Falls, June 1910, and who next
to the father of Christian Endeavor,
President +. e. Clark, is the most prom
inent figure and sought-for personality
connected with the great movement, is a
! native Of South Dakota, and lived in this
state until few years ago.

Capts. Rowland and Sands, while in
| Pierre, thoroughly inspected the state ar
senal, to learn its condition in relation
| to supplies now hand, and what were
| now ordered and on the way. In fact
the inspection of equipment is more of
| the object of their tour Of the state than
Is the drill of the troops the main OBJ
ject being to find in what shape the diff.
/ ferent companies are enuinned for duty
