Mitchell Is the Hotbed OF Political
Auitations at Present.

Mitchell, S. D, Jan. 15.-At the pres

ter of anxiety on the part of the South
Dakota republican machine. Since SEN
ator O.. l.. Rranson announced his with
draWal from the race for congress last
Monday, machine men have been flock
ing TO Mitchell on nearly every train.
Yesterday State Chairman Frank
Crane arrived here from Pierre and
was closeted With Mr.. Branson a good
part of the day. The machine is badly
alarmed and fear he will join the in
surgent ranks and cause this and four
or five adjoining counties to turn
against the machine, Things are be-
coming SO badly wrecked here that it
has been suggested that 7. c.. Burns is
now likely to fix up with II. L. Bras, by
allowing Mr.. Bras to have the machine
Endorsement for postmaster, and the
two join forces again to carry DaVi-
son county. 1t has even been aid
that Mr.. Burns may decide to stand for
congress himself in order to keep the
county away from the insurgents. State
Treasurer Collins was also here yes
terday trying to heal the breech in the
machine ranks.

everything good in the way of farm
land has been filed upon. A month ago
there We're any numbe of good home
steadS in that county,, but now only he
hills remain unclaimed.
Considerable g%runlbling is heard
among the farmers over the proposed
changes in the rural routes. Many who
have formerly received mail at their
doors will now AVE to put up boxes a
half mile from home. Others will be
obliged to become patrons OF the routes

wish to enjoy free daily service. The
carriers do not appreciate the change,
as they will be obliged to go several
miles further each day.
The Missouri river, south OF the city,

hard and soft wood remains at Il good

LEASE PRICE ON LANDS.
Haries from Seven Cents to 81 Per
Acre in South Dakota.

Chamberlain, S. D., Jan. 15.-The
ease price on lands west of the Mis-
souri, river in this state is from 10 to
Is cents per acre in Gregory county, ac-
sording TO location: in Lawrence 10
cents, in Stanley and Lyman s cents
and Z cents in all the rest of that part
Of the state. East of the Missouri river
the rate runs from 81 in Union county
to s cents in the northern tier of cour-
ties. The terms of lease are three years
in the southern n eastern parts of
the state mo five year in the western.
The cattle men say that at this very
small per cent. per acre they have to
pay an enormous tax for what they get
from the lands. In the eastern part of
the state where farming is carried on
the leased lands prove very much more
profitable and are eagerly sought after.
Tho sale of much public school lands
this past year has diminished the tract
in the state greatly. In five years it is
estimated there Will be no more public
leasing of lands.

working of them. Correspondence has
been carried on with all the many man.
ufacturers of graders and road ma
chimes to ascertain the best kind for
the peculiar formation of the South Da-
koua soil. A general opinion prevails
that the committee ought to try the
King road drag, which has been used
TO such a great extent in Iowa. This
consists only of several planks tied or
nailed together in the shape of q stone
boat. The drag is hauled along and
over the roads. smoothing them and
leveling them off towards the sides.
The result has been found to be very
satisfactory wherever tried in Iowa.
