some action will be taken by congress
at the forthcoming session to open up
a portion of this county, which is now
part of the Rosebud reservation.
The price of lands taken up two
years ago in Gregory county has ad-
vanced rapidly until they are now sell
ing at from 500 to $50 an acre. 1t is
expected that the government will rec
ognize this fact by providing for the
Indians fair price for any lands that
may hencetorth be removed from that
part of the public domain, but even
then the settler will find great OPP
portunity here for establishing him
self in a new home.
There is very little rough land, the
soil is a rich black loan, with some
timber, ash, elm and box elder along
the creeks, and the grass is very
heavy; in fact, wild hay can be put up
with very little trouble on the thou
sands of acres of good farming land
found in Gregory and Trip counties.

tigation made by its reporters into the
career of Brig. Gen. John j. Pcrshing,
while he was captain serving in the

the legal wife of William Shinn, a
clerk in the Moro government head
quarters. Joaquina declares that Pc
tronilla was born on July II, 1902, and
that Pershing is her father.
Shinn charges that an emissary of
Gen. Pershing approached Joaquina, in
the spring of this year, with an offer
of $50 a month as hush money. She
refused to accept, saying that Pershing
always had been kind to her and that
she would not expose him. Joaquina

folk Precinct, Instead of From the
County, Will be Asked For-Eection
About March I.
Surveying on the line OF the pro-
posed Yankton and Galveston railroad
line, in whose interests Fremont Hill
is now in Norfolk, will begin out of
Yankton, headed this way, on Satur-
day. January 5, according to Mr.. Hill.
A contract has been drawn up by the
railroad people with Bruce & Van
Antwerp, two surveyors who were in
Norfolk yesterday from Yankton with
Mr.. Hill. Mr.. Hill is also now looking
for right-of-way agent to go right
along with the surveyors and buy the
right of way from Yankton to the
gulf. He estimates that the survey
will require until July and that 1t
will cost $4,000.
Precinct, Not County Bonds.
Mr.. Hill says that precinct and not
county bonds, as he had first contem'
plated, will be asked for from Nor
folk. This precinct has already twice
voted such bonds for the proposed line.
And the bonds will be in the sum OF
$4,000, instead of in previous figures,
according to the railroad man.
The bond election can not be held
until after the survey is made and not
until after a certificate of the survey
has been deposited with the county of
ficials. Mr. Hill says that the survey
ors, leaving Yankton January 5, will
cover 100 miles during the first month
and will have passed through Norfolk
February 1, so that he believes the
bond election may be held by March
/, or thirty days after the call is is
sued. Norfolk Is sixty-two miles from
Yankton.
The preliminary expenses of build
ing this road, according to Mr. Hill
will be about $4,000, which includes
the bond election expenses, which must
be deposited before the election is
held.
Mr. Hill says that he has all of the
money needed for this preliminary ex
pense, ready to be used.
In Case Bonds Fail.
In case bonds fail to carry in Nor
folk precinct, says Mr.. Hill, new sur
vey will be run mile east of Norfolk
or a mile west, town lots will be plat
ted and sold, and the railroad strung
there, just as the Northwestern rail
road was strung a mile south of Nor
folk years ago when bonds failed.
He Gives Figures.
Mr.. Hill, in arguing as to the advant
age of his road, said
Norfolk now pays $3.50 for Rocl
Springs coal. With the new railroad
$1.25 per ton could be saved on this
cheapest grade. Over the new line we

Trevor looked at her, smiling. Then
it began to dawn upon him that she was
regarding him with perfectly serious eyes.
Why?" he repeated. Why? In the
first place, / don't think we care for each
other in that way
"Of course we don't; but we like each
other, and we are excellent companions.

What if I should disappOint you,
after all? Can you imagine a much
more awkward position for a sensitive
man than to be married on the score
of a talent which he turns out not to

mind. will you? And I'll send for you again
after awhile. 1t will give you a chance to
think over what you have undertaken"
A sense of utter bewilderment was upon
him, nor was he able to shake it off before the
hour came for his departure and she drove
him down to the station in her trap. He could
almost realize the sensations of a man who
had lost power of speech, and nothing but her
aCquiesCence in the long silences made the
situation possible; only she bade him gOOd-bv
with half quzzical, half enigmatical smile
and another warm hand-clasp.
Don't worry too much, y, she said, as he
mounted the car steps. Then the train pulled
out and he sank back in his seat.
Once at home, Trevor sat late into the night
trying to correlate his staggering ideas. Again
and again the dream notion almost forced it
sell upon him. and once he ventured to wonder
whether he might not be the victim of some
insane halucinatiOn. The whole thing was too
utterly absurd to be real, and vet, wav down in
his inner consciousness, he knew that it was
real in some curious way. As for attempting
any analysis of himself or her in the matter
he could never get as far as that The facts
alone were sufficient to hold him fast and after
all, 1t was only the facts he had to do with.
His mind worked safely enough to tell him
that whatever he tried to do now would be
likely to be the wrong thing and. fortunately,
the initiative had been so entirely hers that
there seemed no demand for action on his part.

HOGGATTS DIRECT
ALASkA'S AFFAIRS

Wilfred Hoggatt, recently appointed
Governor of Alaska by President Roose-
welt, is a brother of Judge Volney
Hoggatt, who visited Honolulu a few
months ago. Judge Hoggatt remained
here several weeks and was a guest at
the Young Hotel. For many years
Judge Hoggatt was the unofficial rep
resentative of Alaska at Washington,
heading the lobby which worked many
bills through Congress IN the interest of
the gold-producing Territory. The San
Francisco Cali says of the Hoggatts:
Judge Volney T. Hoggatt, cousin of
Wilfred Hoggatt, the newly appointed
Governor of Alaska, is at the Califor-
MIA Hotel. The Judge has also been
conspicuously identified with Alaskan
affairs and tells some interesting ex-
periences he and his cousin had while
attempting to have some much needed
legislation enacted for the Territory.
One of the most amusing is the way
they gained the good Offices of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the homestead bill
of 1903. a delegation of which both
Hoggatts were members was sent to
Washington to ask the President to
help the movement.
knowing the President to be an ar
dent lover of hunting, Judge Hoggatt
suggested that they take him the larg-
est moose head that could be found in
Alaska as a present. When the delega-
ton was granted an audience the splen-
did trophy was carried in with them.
The President was delighted with the
gift and told his visitors so.
eve are a bunch of Indians from
Alaska,'' said Judge Hoggatt, "and
we have come to trade moose head for
some land laws
GAS far as | am concerned it is a
trade,'' said the President with smile.
''And it was,' says Judge Hoggatt.
g AS soon as he got his eyes on that
moose head ! knew that we had won.
The necessity for the passing of such
bill was mentioned in his message and
it was passed at the short session of
Congress that year
Governor Hoggatt is at present in
Seattle. He was at one time in the
United States navy and served on the
Naval Board during the Spanish-A Amer
lean War. Shortly after its conclusion
he resigned and went to Alaska, where
he has ever since taken prominent
part in government affairs.
Judge Hoggatt is at present interest
ed in mining properties at Manhattan,
Nevada.
