HARD ON THE MILWAUKEE.
Farmers Armed with Guns and Pitch
forks Chase AGENTS.

Sioux Falls. S. D, Nov. S.-The Milwau-
kee Railroad company is not having a
pleasant time in the construction of its
Madison-Sioux Falls cutoff. The farmers
through the country where the new road
has made its survey object to the con-
lstruction of the line and are backing up
these objections at the point of shot guns,
and trouble is imminent. The farmers say
that they tried for years to induce the Mil
waukee road to build from Madison to
Sioux Falls, but without success. Their
ithe South Dakota Central built the desired
line. Now the Milwaukee is building a
parallel line which badly cuts up several
farms. In several instances graders and
right OF way agents of the Milwaukee
road have been run off different farms by
farmers who were armed with guns. At
ttae present time nearly a hundred men
and teams are idle because the farmers
viii not permit them to work on their
iland. The farmers that the con
istruction of the Milwaukee road will so
cut up their farms tina it viii make them
worthless, and they propose to fight the
Milwaukee as long as possible.

SALE VERY SATISFACTORY,
State Lands Bring More Than the Ap
pr,ised Drice

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 3.-The sale of
state building lands in Mcpherson
county was a most satisfactory one to
the members of the state capitol com
mission. While the lands offered were
appraised at from $40 10 SIS an acre
the sale price was above that figure,
the tracts offered bringing 1915 above
the appraised price. The highest price
paid for my tract was SIS an acre,
and a number of sales We're made above
the $40 minimum. Commissioner Bach
reports that he could have sold at
least twice as much land had it not
been for the fact that farmers have
been delayed in threshing operations
n are not just now in position to,
purchase. Before he left Eureka a,
number of German farmers asked that
he make a second offering Of lands
there at a later date, after they had,
marketed their summer crop. While
the lands sold were with the option of
three payments over half the tracts
sold were paid for in cash. One point
shows what kind of LAND was offered, it
being hat all Of it was taken by resi-,
dents or land owners in the county,
who bought adjoining tracts to land
they already w and farm. The
bought because they knew just What
they were getting, and it was not a,
matter Of speculation on their part. Of-j
ferings will be made in Faulk and
Hyde counties his week, and good
sales are looked for.

INDIANS PROGRESSING.

Men as Farmers

meh as Farmers.
Bonesteel, S. D, Nov. 6.-One Of rhe
strlklng features of the newly opened
part Of the Rosebud is the progressive
ness of the red man. Prior 20 the ser
tlement OF the white man the Indian
lived in his rude hui made OF sod or
logs or his tepee and with very fevy
exceptions depended upon his allow
ance from the government for susie
nance. They camped in tribes during
me sulHne season and spent only the
coolest weather in houses.
Within a years time these red naonia
vie with the white settler in advanc-
!nent. They are building comfortable
houses OF modern structure; thew nuf
up stores for winters supply: thefr
horses are kept in good barns and
LED corn raised on their own lands.
Many stories have gone the rounds
that the red man was q vagrant. sloth-'
ful fellow with no higher ambition than

ach with fire water. The past twelve
months have proved. at least to those
who have observed the Indian at close

only by his knowledge and he succeeds

FOR NATIONAL PARK
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
CONGRESSMAN s. w Martin Is
Likely to Introduce Bill
to That End.
WOULD SAVE WIND CAVE
This Beautiful and Unique Wonder Of
Nature Annually Attracts Thou
sands of People-Electrio
Line Proposed.

Hot Springs, S. D., Nov. "a twelve
mile trolley line owned by the United
States government! And an electric
lighting plant to light one of the most
beautiful caves in the world!
This is the end for which Congress-
man chen w. Martin, of Deadwood, is
working. and it is likely that he will
introduce a bill at this session Of con-
gress appropriating the money and
authorizing the construction OF the
road and lighting plant.
For several years-eVer since he sue
ceeded in having congress pass a law
creating the Wind Cave National Park
Mr.. Martin has been working for a
trolley line to connect the great cave
With Hot Springs, twelve miles dis
tant, and also for an electric lighting
plant to transform the dark galleries
and chambers of the cavern into bril-
iiaMtly lighted places, their walls spark
ling with countless diamonds.
I preached the subject" said Mr..
Martin yesterday, ITO several members
of congress at Washington q year or
SO ago. l also have taken it up with
several committee Chairmen. At first
l encountered considerable objection to
the idea, but l am more hopeful now.
1t was objected that, from a govern
ment view point, it would be preferable
to lease the cave to some responsible
party, under roper rules and regula-
lions, and require as II of the condi-
tons, that either an automobile line
should be installed or a trolley road
built between He Springs and the
~
However, I was not discouraged and
now l think that 1t will not be long
before there is either a trolley or an
automobile line-with fixed schedule
running to this interesting wonder.
Il have also been thinking, and work
ing for it, that a continuous boulevard
connecting the Wind Cave National
park with the grounds of the new Ma
ona Sanitarium for Old Soldiers, at
think that is one of the possibilities Of
the near future.
The cost Of building a boulevard
twelve miles owe the mountains would,
Of course, be large, but the cost of keep
ing it in repair would not be great.
The small mOun of rainfall and snow
fall and the ~preservative quality of
the pine-laden air, would keep the de-
terioration down greatly.
4 am not making comparisons with
other caves, but l have seen Wind Cave
and I don't think we can spend too
much money to preserve it and keep it
beautifully lighted and easily ac-
cessible to the public. It is worth go
Ing many miles to see."
Wind Cave has been explored for
about 100 miles, and it is estimated that
there are at least 900 miles of passages
and chambers in it. 1t is an eight
story affair. and the lowest story is
over 400 feet below the surface.
