CATTLE QUARANTINE RAISED.
In Counties Of Hughes, suIly and
Potter.


Potter,
The stock owners of Hughes, Sully
and Potter counties have secured an
other advantage over the counties far
ther east by their compliance with the
dipping order of the state board. Dr.
Ramsey, of the bureau of animal in
dustry, at Fargo, has issued an order
raising the quarantine on the three
counties for the reason that reports
show all cattle dipped in the three
counties. The quarantine yet holds on
al lother counties in the infected dis
tricts on account of their refusal to
accept the order of the state board.
The order only applies to cattle in the
counties at the time of the issuance of
the order, and if it is learned that cat
tie from other counties are being
driven into either of these three for
the purpose of shipment the quaran-
tine will again be placed upon them.

CONDITIONS ON ROSEBUD RESERVE.
Many CHANGES Have Occurred in the Past YearEvery Claim
Is Taken and Crops Are Abundant

With soft coal selling at the rate of
$13 per ton at inland points on the
Rosebud reservation, lucky ticket
holders who drew quarter sections of
government land in Uncle Sans big
lottery year ago and who have been
moving on their claims during the last
spring and summer are just now pre-
pairing to spend their first winter on
the Rosebud
The excessive cost of coal at reser-
walton towns is due to the fact that
every pound OF the commodity has to
be freighted by wagon from Bonesteel
to the inland towns and the freighting
costs 25 cents per 100 pounds. And to
keep up with the traffic that is going
on freight wagons forming line a
quarter of mile in length leave Bone
steel every morning bound for the sew
eral postoffices on the prairie.
But, despite the cost of articles
which they are forced to buy, Rosebud
settlers are very highly satisfied with
their outlook, and they have money

even Strawberries. The seeds were

SOUTH DAKOTA CENSUS IS GIVEN OUT

tween sexes, outside of the Fort Meade

rents, and 89,545 foreign born. There
are 166 negroes and 3,249 citizen Indi-
ans recorded. The census of five years

can draw their supplies of water
from mountain springs. The arti-
Gle states that the mortality sta

show q decrease of about fiftv per
cent, in the death rate during the
three years tina, that town has
been supplied with water from the
mountains. During the eight years
prior to the introduction OF such
water the death rate averaged 173

used the death rate bas fallen to 8

GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT AT
DANVILLE

The Good Roads Committee OF
the Commercial Association OF
Danville, Va, has recently made
an exhaustive report on the sub
ject of good roads in the State
and submitted a number of sug-
gestions and recommendations,
which, if carried out, will be pro-
motive of untold value TO Vir-
ginia. The committee lays down
the proposition that road improve
ment should be cooperative be-
tween the State and the counties.
The committee says:
assuming that the labor In
road building is one-hslf the cost,
(and this is approximately true),
we believe that this can be done,
provided the State will furnish
cOnvicts, both from the peniten-
tiary and the jails, and feed,
clothe and guard them free Of cost
to the counties. We further be-
lieve that with the labor furnished
them, many of the counties will
furnish the balance of the money
needed either by an increase OF
the tax rate, a bond issue based
upon the capitalization OF the
road tax or the increased revenue
under the assessment of 1905, or
some other plan acceptable to the
people of each county"
The committee then calls atten-
ton to the fact that the procure.
ment of convict labor as mention
ed, will require a practical re-
vision and re-enaetment of our
present convict laws. The is
suance of county bonds must also
be tbe subject of legislative enact
ment. In conclusion the commit
tee recommends the calling of a
meeting under the auspices of the
Commercial Association on Tues
day, January 81, 1905, for the dis
cussion of the subject of road i'm
provement, to which are invited a
number of gentlemen for addresses
who are authority on the subject.
OF paramount Importance in
the construction and improvement
of public highways is the perma-
nency of the roads. Virginia has
expended untold wealth in the
make-shift improvement that now
prevails in the counties of the
State.

TO PROTECT FORESTS

The American Forestry Con-
gress was recently held in Wash
ington D. c., and the wanton de-
struetion of American forests was
seriously considered by number
of thoughtful men. A stirring
address was made by President
Roosevelt, in which he urged the
protection o. the forests. Civil
lied life, he said, was continually
making greater demands for
wood, and our country is only at
the beginning of its growth. The
establishment of national forest
reserves in the Southern Appala-
chsia range and elsewhere in the
country was urged.
The consumption of timber by
the railroads Of the country lie
something appalling. With their
thou sands of miles of tracks to be
laid witL ties, which constantly
require replacing, drain is made
upon timber which can hardly be
estimated. Already many rail
road companies are beginning to
plant out forests in order to meet
the demands of the future. Even
If tree should be planted for
every one cut down, it would take
several generations to replace the
old monarchs Of our native forests,
for the growth of trees is slow.
Besides this, the influence of for
ests upon climate and water
courses is well known.

Mr.. Swanson Seeks Nomination
for Governor.

The Hon. Claude A. Swanson,
member of Congress from the
Fifth District, has issued letter
to the Democratic voters of Vir-
ginia, announcing his candidacy
for the gubernatorial nomination
at the hands Of the Democratic
primary. He expresses his con-
fidence in the will of the majority
of the party in the primary, where
the use of all money and corrupt
influences are. as now in Virginia,
specifically prohibited by law.
Mr.. Swanson says that from
early youth one of his most cherish
ed ambitions has been to be Gov
ernor of his native State. This
laudable aspiration has ever been
to him a hope and an inspi-
ration in the many trials and diff
culties which he has had to en-
counter. He declares that if ele-
waited to this high Office, he would
enter upon the discharge of his
duties absolutely -untrammelled,
unpledged and under obligations
alone TO the people.
Mr.. Swanson discusses at length
the Importance Ct certain public
improvements and the betterment
of many other departments. He
says he fully recognizes the vaet
Importance to the State of a
thorough, progressive and efficient
system of public education, with
longer terms and better paid teach
ers; the disabled and needy Con-
federate soldiers, and their widows,
deserve and should receive liberal
aid from the State; as agriculture
is tie first industry in Virginia,
engaging the largest portion Of
her population, Its development
and prosperity should receive her
best care and most generous aid.
He strongly urges the improve
ment of the public roads of the
State, since the convenience and
prosperity of the rural population
is dependent largely upon the
facilities with which easy COM
is had with the towne
and cities, which are the natural
markets for agricultural products.
