With Class of Armored Cruisers
That Would Make Circles Around
Slow-Going Vessels in Nebogat-

Come Through Roosevelt.

Van Couver, B. c., May 12.-Rear
Admiral Folger, commander of the Ash.
attic fleet, arrived from the Orient to-
day, a passenger on the steamship In
dia. The admiral is very confident
that the Japanese will win in the COM
ing naval battle. He said: Il have
no doubt Of the result of the naval
fight between Russia and Japan. At
sea Togo has a decided superiority in
a class of armored cruisers which will
play the prominent part in the fight.
What is to prevent him from making
circles around Admiral Nebagotoff's
slow moving squadron, which has only
a speed of seven knots an hour, and
hammering his ships to pieces? He
could do the same with R~ojestvensky."

SIDETRACk UP TO FARMERS,
Rails at Sandcut to Be Laid If Land Is
Donated.

w. H. Stanley, secretary of the South
Dakota board of railroad commission
ers, has received from General sMan-
ger Williams of the Milwaukee Rail-
road company letter which virtually
settles the question regarding a pro-
posed sidetrack at or near a point
known as Sandcut, situated between
the towns of Summit and Waubay, on
the Milwaukee road.
The general manager states that the
engineer sent out by the company re-
ports that if a sidetrack was con-
structed at the point indicated in the
order Of the board it would be difficult
to keep it clear of snow in the winter.
owing to the topography Of the coun-
try in that immediate vicinity. Gen
eral Manager Williams, however, pro-
poses that if the farmers in the vicin.
ity will donate enough land to widen
the company's right of way to the ex.
tent of 100 feet the sidetrack will be
constructed. The farmers in the vi.
cinity of Sandcut are anxious to have
the additional track constructed. and
it is believed they without delay will
deed the amount Of land required.

ALL CATTLE MUST BE DIPPED.
Federal Authorities Overrule Decision
of the Lower Court.

AS result of proceedings in the cir
cult court at Huron by cattlemen to
resist the enforcement of the order
of the state board requiring all cattle
to be dipped, whether infected with
'scabbies" or not, Inspector Ramsey,
representing the department at Wash
ington, is making a personal investi-
cation of conditions and will submit
his findings to the department of ami
NAL industry at Washington.
Mr.. Ramsey says that the bureau
has carefully considered the question
OF placing the entire state of South
Dakota under quarantine, thus requir-
ing all cattle to be dipped, but as the
state board had already promulgated
an order placing the infected district
under quarantine, he would stand by
the action of the board and allow no
cattle to be shipped out of the state
without being dipped.
There are eighteen counties in the
quarantined district of this state. In
the proceedings in the circuit court be-
fore Judge Whiting the opinion of the
court was that only infected cattle
should be dipped, but this later pro-
ceeding on the part of the federal au.
thorities sets aside the findings of the
lower court.
