by state or it's people, and in this

known for the remarkable grade of

of South Dakota, the excellence of

UNCLE SAM MAY LOSE BUILDING.
Fine Federal Property 10 Bought at
Tax Sale


The controversy over the recent sale
OF the handsome government, building
In Sioux Falls for taxes continues to
attract attention. The question now
is, will Thomas Seaman, a wealthy
Sioux Falls capitalist. succeed in Sc
curing control of the building as the
result of having bid in the property at
tax sale.
Friends of Mr. Scanlan jokingly
state that he has not fully determined
whether, when he secures possession
OF the building, he will transform it
into an office building or consent to
rent 1t to Uncle Sam rather than turn
the old gentleman out into the street.
The building involved in the unique
controversy was erected at a cost of
$l75,OOO. Some time ago the city coun-
Gil ordered East Twelfth street graded.
The government building is situated
on the corner of Twelfth street and
Phillips avenue, with frontage of
about $50 feet on Twelfth street.
When the special assessment for the
improvement was made a part of the
taxation records the matter was laid
before the department Of Justice at
Washington by the custodian of the
building. The department promptly
turned down" the assessment, main
tanning that government property was

OLD FERRY QUITS WORK.
Boat Has Served at Pierre Since
Ante-RaIroad DAYS.


The old steam ferry, Jim Leighton
which has done duty as transfer
at Pierre since before the coming of
the railroads in 1880, is at last out of
commission. From this time on the
boat will be used in railroad work
alone, leaving the ferry privileges to
the gasoline boats.
This was brought about by an
agreement in which the gasoline
boatmen agree to construct landing
below the railroad bridge and save
the company the work of operating
the draw a number of times every
day to let them through. For this
privilege they withdraw from the
ferry business and put the boat at
work in transferring material.
This boat has been rebuilt several
times in"the last quarter of a century
and has carried thousands of cattle
for shipment to the Eastern market.
Earlier than that was the regular
transfer boat for the Black Hills
stages and freight. For nearly twen-
ty years Of the time it was in opera
ton Capt. Horn. one Of the best
known Of the old river men, was in
command, and a new captain was
put on only a short time before the
death Of the veteran captain.

GRiDIRoN THE STATE.
State at Present Is Center Of Rail
road Construction.

Although North Dakota for many
years has witnessed great activity in
railroad building, 1t seems at present
to hold second place to South Dakota
eral years apparently did not appeal
to the railroads as country to build
into, but several of them are endeav-
oring to grldiron the state with as
many rails as possible.
At least three roads are tapping
South Dakota thoroughly, and all of
them have direct connections with St.
Paul Two of the lines are cutting
across South Dakota on the way to the
Pacific coast, and It Is possible that
the third has some such intention.
From present activities it looks as if
as many transcontinenta routes may
run through South Dakota as are now
through North Dakota.
The railroads now building in South
Dakota are tapping extremely rich ag-
riculturl lands. Part of it is located
In the so-called bad lands, much of
which has turned out to be excellent
for farming.
What is being done in railroad build
Ing in South Dakota is shown in the
new time folder just issued by the Min
neapolis G. st. Louis. 1t gives in red
ink the line which it is building west
of Watertown. involving the construc-
ton of $50 miles of new road. The
extension straight westward Is about
l80 miles to Scranton, but branch is
to be built from Condo to Leola, dis
tanee of about 20 miles. The new lines
tap an exceptionally good country, as
Is evidenced by the fact that clever,
new elevators are being built at one
town where the railroads have not
yet been laid to. The branch line from
Condo runs through Aberdeen.

Ing on the Railroad Grade.
Recent visitors to the Pine. Ridge
reservation, where more than one
quarter Of the Indians belonging to
the Sioux nation reside, report that
the Indians are generally in a very
prosperous condition.
Scores of the warriors have been
working on the grade for the Mis-
souri, river-Black Hills extension Of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railroad. They are reported to do
good work at grading and shoveling,
and there is great demand for them
as section men on the railroads
which have lines running in the vi
entity Of their reservation.
Everywhere on the Pine Ridge res
ervation dams and irrigation bitches
are being constructed with Indian la
Dor. One gentleman who travelled
over the reservation states there are
more good roads on the reservation
than In any state west of the Missis-
sippi river. The alloting agents are
busy every day in the year assign
ing farms to Indians who desire to in
the future give their attention to
farming and stock raising instead of
remaining in idleness, as has been
the custom in the past.
The Indians on the reservation are
rapidly becoming extensive cattle
raisers, as is shown by the fact that
during the year ending June 80 Of
this year the government purchased
from the Indians on the Pine Ridge
reservation alone an aggregate of
100000 pounds OF beef. the Indians
having furnished about half of the
amount required, the remainder hav-
Ing been secured from white con-
| tractors.
1t is expected that during the COM
ing year the government will pur-
chase from the Pine Ridge Indians
an aggregate of fully 100000 pounds
of beef. The Indians receive an av-
erage Of s35 to s45 per head for the
cattle they sell the government They
make a good profit at this figure, as

Indians Furnish Uncle Sam a Million

The Indians on the reservation are
becoming extensive cattle raisers, and
the government is buying a large
amount of its beef from them. At the
close Of the fiscal year ending June
80. 1906. the government will have
purchased from the Indians for that
year about 100000 pounds of beef,
and will have bought from contractors
another 100000 pounds. 1t is the
intention to change the proportion In
the coming year, buying 100000

Indians ar enow getting about 4 cents
for theiv beef, which is a raise of
about 20 cents a hundred above the
price of last year.
