The Mile Square Homestead.

In spite Of some pronounced but so
lated opposition, both branches of the
Legislature have passed by a practically
unanimous vote the joint resolution
memorializing congress to pass the Mar.
tin Gamble bill for milesquare home
steads in that section of South Dakot
west Of the Missouri river. News from
Washington is to the effect that some
opposition has developed there, but the
friends Of the bill hope to be able to
overcome this, and to secure the passage
of the bill at this session of congress
The opposition to the bill comes from
those who declare that under it the big
cattlemen will be able to take up the
lands along the water courses, and thus
cattleman That most Of this criticism
is in good faitn can not be doubted, but
it does not develop that the big cattle
interests are enthusiastic for the bill,
which would be the case if they felt
they could moBopoIiZe the water courses
under the measure, if it becomes q law.
In point of fact, the Martin Gamble bill
seems to have gusrded well against this
emergency, and ifthe land department,
in it's administration Of the measure,
shall rigidly enforce its provisions to the
letter. there need be no fear that the
big cattle interests will monopolize
things. The bilh contains a provision
which limits the extreme length of such
no mestead to two miles, and good faith
OF entry is demanded throughout Pro
perly enforced by the land officials, the
measure ould help the small grower,
and protect the water courses for his
use.
The South Dakota demand back Of the
measure is desire to stimulate the set
tlement Of what is known as the range
country Until that country is develop
cd, until artesian wells are sunk and
trees are planted, general agriculture is
| likely to be failure 10 a greater or less
extent. The first thing is TO give this
section a boost as a cattle country The
Martin Gamble bill will do this. Agri,
cultural development will come later.
A railroad through to the Black Hills
will result, and the growth Of that great
section of the state will be rapid.
The Argus Leader hopes to see the
measure pass congress, and an early
date set for the opening of this section
under the mile-square act.-Argus-

Irrigation Projects.

The following official bulletin has

| Besides the Belle Fourche project
which is the chief work Of the reclsma'
ton service in South Dakota this year
the engineers of the United States geo.

of minor projects in the same state. The
land owners have now practically signed
up all of the land required for the Belle
Fourche project and bids will be adver-
tised for on February /.
THE Cheyenne river project contem-
plates the reclamation Of from 10000 to
10000 acres of arid land situated along
the Cheyenne river in Fall River coun-
ty, South Dakota. This land is locally
known as the W. G. and Harrison fats,
and possibly may include Squaw Hump.
er fiat The land is mostly held by pri-
vate owners.
"A reconnaissance was made in 0cto-
Der, 1904, of the headwaters of Cheyenne
! river for possible reservoir sites None
was found on the principal stream, but
three were selected on main branches Of
the river, where water can be stored if
the supply proves ample
"a temporary organization of land
owners was formed and rating station
established at Edgemont. Rating sta.

creek and Hat creek If the water sup
ply proves sufficient the reservoir sites
will be surveyed and the cost of diver
sion canal to cover the lands will be es-
| timated.
"If the food waters that 90 to waste
in the Little Missouri river were stored
considerable land in the vicinity Of Camp
Crook, South Dakota, might be recaim-
ed. The lands are remote from the
railroad and are at present used only
for stock raising and grazing The soil
is good, however, and that the land
should be reclaimed for agricultural pur-
poses
Surveys for a reservoir site near Al
zada, Montana, we're made during June,
1904. 1t was found that no great guam
! tity of water could be stored at this
point, but a reservoir situated here
would probably hold all the water that
could be obtained. Rating stations were
established at Alzadad, Montana, and at
Camp Crook, South Dakota, by means
of which the water supply will be stu
died.
From the surveys run an estimate
will be made Of the cost Of the Alzada
reservoir storage, and early in the spring
a reconnaissance will be undertaken of
the river below Alzada for other reser-
voir sites. Ifany feasible sites ere found
a preliminary survey will be made to
determine the cost of diverting the river
into them and the probable cost Of re-

Beef Trust Rontea

In his opinion Justice Holmes discussed
at length the varions contentious Of the
packers and disposed Of them indiyidu-

charges were less specific than desirable
but said that this was necessarily true

South Dakota Soldiers home.

I. NJ. Shanafelt, president Of the State
Soldiers Home board, and Thomas NJ.
Goddard. commandant of the State Sol
diers' Home at Hot Spring, have given
out for publication a statement in refer
ence to the protests made by old soldiers
throughout the state against bill which
is now pending in the state legislature
and which seeks in a measure to take
pensions from old veterans who are ad
mitted to the soldiers home
Joe Hooker Post, Grand Army of the
Republic of Sioux Falls, and several
other posts in the state, have recently
adopted resolutions condemning the pro.
visions of the bill and calling upon
friends Of the old veterans to defeat il
when it comes up for action in the legis-

DR.. Shansfelt and Commandant God
dard state that if the bill is not enacted
into law the state will lose between $l5,.
600 and $4,000 each year They be-
lieve the opposition of the old soldiers
is due to the fact that they were un-
aware of the reason why such legislation
is necessary.
The president of the board and com

The Parcel Post.

A bill has been introduced in congress
looking toward the adoption of the par.
eel post system. The bill contempiates
the lowering Of the postage rate on
fourth-class matter, and if it becomes q
law one can send any mailable article
" NeighinG not over five pounds through
the mails for a nominal sum. The rural
towns are solidly opposed to the meas
ure as it is claimed it would prove a
serious blow to the country merchant
1t would strengthen the hands of the
big mail order houses of the cities at the
expense OF tho home merchant. The
big concerns would be enabled to send
many articles post paid to all parts of
the country, enjoying great advantage
in their competition with the smaller
dealers.
There is no doubt that in many in
stances parcel postage privileges would
benefit the people, but taking the broad
view of the matter wouldn't it hurt us
more than it would help us. The coun-
try merchant, the man who 10 one of us,
the man who helps to pay our taxes and
whose pocketbook is always opened
wide whenever there is any local enter
prise to be supported, must be sustained.
His interests are identical with those Of
the country If he starves it is an indi-
cation that We are all very hungry, and
to cripple his business means the main.
ing Of many anothers.
The proposition would be an entirely
different one were il fact that the mail
order houses gave the people more for
their money than did the home mer-
chant. There may be instances where
a certain article can be bought to a bet
ter advantage abroad, but such cases are
extremely rare. Quality considered and
the ability and willingness to correct
mistakes and defects enables the home
merchant To beat the Chicago man nine
times out Of ten. The apparently small
er price often quoted in the catalogue is
delusive and when the article itself ar
rives nine times out Of ten it is disap-
pointment. This is becoming generally
to be recognized, and we believe the
waning business Of the mail order houses
is largely responsible for the agitation
towards the parcel post system.
