TO DECIDE FORESTRY QUESTION
9. .. Attorney General and Federal
Bureau Discuss prohI.m

6ureau DISCUSS Problem.
Attorney General Clark has lust had
long conference at Washington with
the bureau Of forestry relative to con.
troVers1es between the state and ma.
tional government in regard to forest
reserve lands.
In the national forest reserve in the
Black Hills there are many isolated
tracts eclaimed by the state. The
proposition was advanced that the
state be given solid block of forest
land IN exchange for the isolated
tracts claimed by it, and it is probable
that settlement will be made on
that basis.
The conference resulted in decis.
ION OF the officials of the bureau to
call for meeting of all the states in.
terested in forest reserve lands for the
purpose OF arranging an equitable set
tlement Of the questions. This meet.
ing will be called in the near future
at some central city in the Middle
West.
In Boston Mr. Clark investigated
certain evidence relating to the estate
OF John Mcclellan. The Mcclellan es.
tate is situated at Sioux Falls. S. D.,
and valued at $4,000, and is claimed
by two parties Of alleged heirs of John
Mcclellan, one branch coming from
Canada and one from Arkansas. The
supreme court at one time decided
that none Of the claimants were the
rlghtful ones and that the property
should escheat to the state. A new
trial was granted on rehearing and it
is now up to the legal department OF
the state to sustain the courts form.

LEASES GRAZING LAND.

Chicago Packer Secures 100000 Acres
and VIII Try New Experiment.
Great possibilities in the cattle ship
ping industry at Rapid City have been
opened up through the leasing by Mel
son Morris, the Chicago packer, Of
more than 100000 acres of grazing
land northeast Of here on the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation. For
nearly ten years this land has been
controlled on lease by the at" cat
Tie outfit, whose bid for renewal was
fraction Of a cent per acre less than
Of Morris.
Five years ago the "17" people fenced
the land, and for years have had sew
eral large droves of cattle on this
range, but with the coming OF Morris
this number is to be largely increased.
Morris owns much land in Texas, and
always has grazed his cattle here.
Since securing this lease in South Da-
kota he has moved 5000 of his cattle
here, and intends to bring in many
other herds as soon as possible. This
Is the first instance where Morris ever
has fed any of his big cattle holdings
In the North, and the result will be of
considerable interest to cattlemen.
This tract that Morris has secured
Is one fthe finest in the Northwest
It is well watered and close to the
Evarts trail land is not accessible to
outsiders for grazing purposes, owing
TO its fencing. The lease is to run for
i've years, and i'll case 1t is not re-
newed, the fencing, which is more
than 800 miles in length, will revert to
the Indians
