Congressman Burke Pushes Rose
bud Bill Through House.

Washington, Feb. S.-Represeuta-
tive Burke has secured the passage of
the Rosebud reservation bill which
was on Thursday reported from the
committee on Indian affairs. In Ger
tain respects this is record legislation,
the friendships which Mr.. Burke has
made during his years in congress
standing him in good stead when he
called up the bill for final passage.
Mr., Burke introduced his original
Rosebud bill on the day congress con
vened in short session. Subsequently
he Introduced another bill for the
purpose Of giving better description
of the land than was contained in the
original bill and also to incorporate
the provisional agreement made with
the Indians by inspector Mclaughlin
providing for the creation of fund
of $l,OoO0GO to be paid after ten
years
Although the bill which was passed
contains rather unusual clauses, SO far
as school sections are concerned, there
was little or no debate on its provis-
ions. When the speaker cons ented to
recognize Mr.. Burke for the consider
alton of the Rosebud bill the passage
of the meaSur. was practically ac-
complished, and subsequent develop
ments showed the congressman from
South Dakota had oiled the machinery
preparatory to putting the hill Oh its
passage

been for the prompt and effective work
OF the iiremen in keeping the fire con
fined to the stable with three good
streams it might have swept across the

barn, the Phenix hoJel and on down
Sioux avenue, taking the Grand Pacific
hotel. In fact it Nigh have razed every
building along Sioux avenue for blocks
The stable now contained quite a
quantity Of hay which made the work
or drowning the fire a stubborn lob.

damage to the adjoining frame build

5, Guthrie, who built it IN the early
eighties, and it was aboutthe first one
in Pierre. The Free Press has not

Jacksonville is again back in first

score would indicate that Jacksonville
had a comparatively easy time of it.

an important factor in the final re-
suit, Jacksonville played a game with

formed a part of the reasons why
Jacksonville won, With the number OF
