It is likely that a syndicate OF local

Government Gets Land Near irrigation

Government Gets Land Near irrigation
Project Without Condemnlng.
An important matter was decided
at Deadwood when a settlement was
made between the Belle Fourche Land
and Cattle company and the men In
charge Of the Belle Fourche irrigation
project in regard to the price Of some
land owned by the corporation. The
land and cattle company owns large
acreage adjoining the town Of Belle
Fourche, and when work was well
under way on the government diver
sion dam two miles south Of town 1t
became apparent that some OF this
land would be overlooked.
Special agent Wallace, acting for the
government, came out to Belle
Fourche ten months ago to look over
the land and to make an agreement
with the owners for the price. An
agreement was entered into and an
option signed by which the company
was to receive $11.250 for an absolute
title to ninety-three acres and the
right to overflow forty-nine acres at
the time Of high water.
Shortly afterward, however. the 10.
cal engineer for the reclamation ad.
xised the department that the price
agreed upon was too high. On July IA
an action was begun by the United
States government to condemn the
land which would be overhowed. The
case was set for this term Of court,
but an understanding has been reached
and the price Of s11 900 paid for an alb.
solute title to all land that Is perma.
nently overlooked, about ninety-three
acres, and the right to overflow an ad.
ditional forty-nine acres In case OF
high water.

girl in South Dakota is Mary Mauske,

Regulating Bakers.

Bakers in France are subjected to
certain unusual rules and regulations.
In large fortified towns, for instance,
they must always have a certain
stock on hand in case Of war. Not
only this, but everywhere they have
to deposit a sum of money In the
Hands of the municipal authorities as
surety of good conduct; and the
law, not content with merely looking
after their weights and measures, ac-
tually decides the price at which

Can Hold His Own.

Here's a business man who can hold
his own with catalogue houses. A
merchant of Humboldt, Iowa, has a
two-page advertisement in his paper
and says he can outsell, out-bid and
Guido any catalogue house In Chicago.
and he Is doing 1t, too. Why not?
His rent is less, insurance less. clerk
hire far less, goods come In large
quantities with less freight. A man
who goes into his store and buys.
knows what he Is getting and the ad
tells just what he has to sell. Cata-
logue houses can't compete with the
live country merchant.
