give a definite response to the repre-
sensations made. pending the decision
of the commission which is examining
the question of contraband of war. The

standing out against the American and
British view of foodstuffs as condi-

if the contention is allowed it will be
idle to attempt to stop c~ontraband

,rriaated Land Valuable.

Spearfish, S. D., Sept. 3.-Easter1.
South Dakota people do not realize the
valuation of farming land where it is
irrigated. Ten acres of ground near
this city was sold this week for 5000
an acre. Anywhere along the Spearhsh
irrigating ditch farming land will run
from 500 to 5000 an acre. 1t is be-
lieved by the projectors Of The Belle
Fourche %lrrigating scheme that land
that is now valued at $40 an acre will
be worth from 500 to $3.50 as soon as
water is turned on. Charles P%lerson,
a farmer near this city, with his father,
OWNS 1000 acres of irrigated land in
the Spearfsh valley which at one time
was worth not to exceed $40 an acre.
1t is now worth $3.50. A great deal of
the land west Of the Missouri river can
be reclaimed by irrigation.

ly all shipments of range cattle have
stopped from the Black Hills ranges. The
last shipments brought but 2Is cents,
which is the lowest ever received on the
Black Hills range. 1t is less, according
to Harris Franklin. president of the
Franklin Cattle company, han Texas
steers were bought for before they came
north. The cattlemen all over the range
in the Hills are watching the markets
with the greatest anxiety. They have got
to ship at some price or else keep over
4-year-olds. Last fall many of the largest
cattle companies held over their 3-year-
olds, expecting to get them turned this
fall at a higher price. The banks are
closing up their loans, which makes 1t all
the more unpleasant for the cattlemen.
Two days rain has just visited most of
the range. which has filled the streams
for the winter.

Oyama's advance is reported to be en-
gaGing the Russian rear, but ii is not
expected to develop anything more Sc
rious than a series of rear guard ac-
tions tending to harass Kuropatkin's
retreat.
The japanese have thrown a strong
flanking column across the Taitse river
at Benitzu, about thirty miles north
east OF Lao Yang. This column is

besides the double tracked railroad.
The o is chiefly used in the trans

is a great quantity. The oldiers are
marching in light order and most of

General Kuropatkin, in a telegram

the fight continuing until Monday. The
telegram details the precautions taken
to ~checkmate the Japanese flankers.
kuropatkin estimates his losses up to

This is considered to be a very con-
sentative figure. The loss to the Jap
