PACKERS HAVE NEW SCHEME
Buy Immense Area Of Southern Lands

for Feeding Ground.
News sent out from Chicago has
it that the big packers there have
evolved a new scheme with the in
tention Of notwithstanding the meat
industry Of the country.
The "great stockyards family" as
the Swifts, Armours, Nelson Morris
and Schwartzchild -Sulberger concerns
are known, are reported to have
bought 1000, 900 acres Of land in south
ern Alabama and northern Florida.
The land is said to have been purchas-
ed from the Louisville & Nashville
railroad at an average price Of 1915
an acre, making the total money con-
sideration $3,75O,O0O.
1t is declared that the packers in
tend to establish on the reclaimed
swamp land and pine lands of Florida
and Alabama the greatest feeding
grounds for cattle in the world. The
purpose is to escape freight rates aud
double hauls, the local rates between
Montana and Chicago and Chicago
and New York and to rid themselves
Of the great expense of shipping and
to fatten cattle on cassava.
In addition to the western growers
| Of stock the corn trust is also inter
| ested i'm tho innovation, as it is said
that THE beef trust intends, in con
nection with its feeding ground, tx
establish immense starch factories
and make starch and other proaucts
from the ssa root and put them II
the field in competition with tine corr
products of the corr trust.

EASY MATTER TO OPEN INDIAN
RESERVATIONS.
SUPREME COURT HELPS OUT
Recent Decision Taken Advantage OF
!. by South Dakotans in open...
ing Sioux Lands.

For a number of years past the resi-
dents of South Dakota have been
confronted with the same conditions
as have confronted the people of
eastern Montana in the matter of Sc
curing favorable action in congress
to secur the opening of Indian reser-
vations to settlement. Taking ad-
vantage OF a ruling Of the supreme
court of the United States made in
a case coming from the Indian terri
tory, the members Of congress from
South Dakota have determined to
push the claimes of the people of
that state to secure the opening to
settlement of some valuable lands
contained in the Rosebud reservation.
That which applies in the case of
the people Of South Dakota applies
with equal force in the case of open
ing the Crow Indian reservation in
the eastern part of this state. The
10AOuCO u00 III yOoA " AOAO SOA-
tended that it is not necessary to
consult the wishes of the Indians or
their sympathizers in order to secure
favorable action in congress ON meas
ures intended TO restore lands not
needed by the Indians to the public
domain, and the step taken by the
representatives of South Dakota in
congress should be acquiesced in by
every member of congress from
western states where the people for
years have been struggling to reduce
Indian reservations to an area in line
with the actual needs Of the several
Indian tribes now in possession Of
vast tracts.
The bill which the Montana mem
bers in congress- nov have in hand

contemplating opening a million acres

contemplating opening a million acres
of the Grow reservation to settle
ment should be amended to one par
ticular before it leaves the commit
tee to which it has been referred. In
stead of including a million acres the
measure should include two million
acres, or all of the Indian reservation
lying west of the Big Horn river and
north of THE abandoned military post
known as Fort Custer.
The reference to the settlement OF
Indiam lands in South Dakota is con-
tanned in the following Washington
dispatch, under date of the 18th:
"The decision of the supreme court
that the government stands in rela.
tion to the Indian as a trustee stands
to his ward, has brought about a great
change in the minds of the secretary
of the interior and the commissioner
of Indian affairs. Heretofore the COM
missioner of Indian affairs has held
that the Indian must be consulted
IS to changes contemplated in treaties
or in making of new treaties, throwing
Indian reservations open to settlement.
The opinion of the supreme court,
however, holding that the government
stands to the Indian as a trustee and
lis therefore in a position to do that
which is best for the Indian without
the ward being considered, makes
contemplated legislation looking to
the opening of Indian lands to settle
ment much easier than heretofore.
"This practically applies to the
Rosebud reservation, in Gregory coun
ty, South Dakota. Here is a body Of
land 100000 acres in extent, which
the South Dakota and Nebraska dele.
cations in congress have been en-
deavoring to throw open to settle
ment for a number of years. The
Indian office has held that the consent
of the Indians must be first obtained

~gregating this land from other por
lions of the reservation. Then agai1
the Indian Office has been of the opin
ion that the land should bring SIS an
acre, which, according to the best
Judges, was out of all s II
fact, it was prohibitive in character
and the treaty which an agent of the
interior department sought to make
with the Indians failed because the
Indian Office had held out to the wards
Of the government a hope which il
not to be realized.
"The bill which Congressman Burke
OF South Dakota introduced and which
has been reported favorably from The
Indian affairs committee Of the hous.
provides that the lands in the Rose
bud reservation shall be sold for $3.50

THE FIRST VOTE,
Why Young Men Should Cast Their
First Ballot for Roosevelt

A young mans first vote for Presi-
dent is the most important one he will
ever cast and may affect himself as well
as the country benefcially or the reverse.
The young American approaches his
twenty-hrst birthday with a feeling of
pride tinged with solemnity He knows
that henceforth the constitution and laws
invest him with all the rights of cfti-
zenship. No matter how well equipped
be may have been to exercise these
rights before. he cannot do so until be
IS twenty-one years old He has waited
impaiiently fer the time when he could
vote. and long before it arrives he has
begun to consider carefully how he
should cast his first ballot. He remem-
bers how his father voted and decide.
whether he will follow in his fathers
footsteps or not He recalls what he
knows Of history. weighs the platforms
and issues carefully, and tries to reach
conscientious conclusion as to how he
should vote. This is right. He puts his
best thoughts and conscience into hia
hrst vote, as he ought to.
No subsequent vote ever receives quite
me same careful thought The 6rst vote
decides q young mans party afilia lions.
and after that he Is apt to follow In the
pain In which he has started Hence
the importance Of starting right. Hun
dreos OF thousands of men to-day are
proud because they cast their fryt vote
for Abraham Lincoln, General Grant or
William Mckinley, while other hundreds
OF thousands are sorry that they east
their frst vote for the defeated oppo-
nents OF these men.
A young mans first vote for President
is the most Important one he viii svsy
cast because 1t may determine the Do
htical associations OF his whole life and
make or mar his career. Therefore.
every hrst vster should cast his ballot for
the student. author. soldier, patxsse and
statssman, Theodore Roosevelt
