ENTRY CONTESTS GRAFT GAME.
Settlers to Organize to Protect Selves
From Sharks,


Under the belief that there is In ex-
istence a Syndicate" having for its
purpose the contesting of homestead
entries in the coded portion Of the
Rosebud Indian reservation, thus put
ting settlers in that region to great
trouble and expense, the settlers are
taking steps to form a protective or.
ganization, with the object of discour-
aging the wholesale contesting OF
homestead entries.
1t is proposed by those behind the
movement to form protective asso-
homesteader in the ceded lands. Mem
bers would be required to pay regular
assessments, which would be placed
in fund, WHICH would be drawn on
for the defense whenever a contest
was instituted against the entry of a
member of the association.
In some instances where contests
have been instituted against the en-.
tries of bona-fide homesteaders the
contestants have offered to withdraw
their suits if the homesteaders would
pay them satisfactory sum. Rather
than have a cloud on their land. many
Of the homesteaders have felt COM
PEELED to pay this blood money"
When the organization of all the
homesteaders is perfected the schem-
ers who are working overtime at the
business Of instituting contests vir-
tually would be forced to abandon the
practice, as the influence and pocket
book Of every homesteader would be
utilized against Them

Ramsey has agents all over the state,

winter that more than 70 per cent of

radical action is taken. One animal

others. and while it will not show in
summer. when winter comes the Ell.

The state regulations, If carried ont,
will eradicate the disease. and if it is

In a number Of counties OF the state

cattle owners to fight the dipping Jaw
of the last legislative session, passed
for the purpose of wiping out scabies

eraI Land Must Give 1t Up.
Jerry Carleton. chief deputy United
States marshal of this state, is driving
through the cattle district east and
north Of Rapid City for the purpose Of
meeting the large cattlemen who have
been fencing up the range for the last
few years. The report sent out from
Sioux Falls to the effect that the cat
tlemen Of Western South Dakota had
been or were about to be arrested is
not true. Mr.. Carleton says that the
government will not be severe with
the cattlemen having government land
under fence. for the reason that it has
been a common practice for many
years back. They first will be warn
ed. and if they then refuse to comply,
arrests may follow. The range thus
fenced only lately has become yalu-

c. E. Newton, representing the firm
Of Reid, Murdoch & Co.. and other Chi
cago wholesale houses, was in Pierre
recently for conference with Gov.
Elrod in regard to a certain provision
of the pure food law which goes into

the trouble Is with the construction
which E. w. Small, the state pure food

The act. This section is:

to sell offer or expose for sale, any
article of prepared foods unless true

ADVISES MORE CARE OF SHEEP.
Ohio Wool Growers Get More Than
South Dakota Sheepmen.

The state sheep breeders and wool
growers convention at Aberdeen was
the largest Of it's sixteen years of or
ganization. A strengthening exhibit
ton created great interest. President
Bells annual address stated that
South Dakota sheepmen were never so
prosperous. There are nearly half
million sheep in the state and prices
are the highest they have ever been.
Mr.. Bell, president of the South Da-
kota Wool Growers and Sheep Breed
ers' association, showed that during
the past year 100000 sheep were
sheared in the state, the average
weight per clip being SOC pounds. In
Ohio 2,082 900 sheep were sheared, the
average weight per fleece being $50
pounds.
Despite the heavier fieeces in South
Dakota, Mr.. Bell said the Ohio sheep
man received more per fleece than the
South Dakotans. and advised better
care Of their sheep on the part OF
South Dakota raisers.
At the strengthening exhibition a
seven-year-old ram owned by Mr. Bell
and which had been in service for four
years. sheared fifteen pounds of wool
