The Svperintendent-elec Of South Dakota Will Call for State
Funds.

For some time there has been spec
ulation as to whom H. A.. Ustrud of
Sioux Falls, who early in tn ecoming
year will assume the duties of state
superintendent of public instruction,
to which office he was elected in No
vember, would appoint to the position
of deputy state superintendent.
Mr.. Ustrud nov has put an end to
the speculation by making the Off
point to the position Prof. c. E. Swan
son, the present superintendent of
schools Of Kingsbury county. Mr..
Swanson stands high in educational
circles, and at the last Republican
state convention was a candidate for
nomination to the office of state SUI
perintendent in opposition to Mr.. Ust-
turing the nomination.
State Superintendent-elect Ustrud
further announces that he intends to
reorganize the force in the Office of
the state superintendent, and will ask
for an appropriation to enable him to

tiUnal branch of the state work. He
wants to be prepared to make a thor
ough inspection of the schools of
South Dakota each year.
He states that he will make the
betterment of the rural schools his
hobby to some extent, and declares
himself in favor of increasing the sal
aries of the teachers in the rural
schools. Mr.. Ustrud expresses the
opinion hat a law should be enacted
fixing the minimum salary of a rural
country school teacher at $40 or $45
per month, and would provide by law
that the state. which has a large
school fund which is not being used
should assist the smaller and poorer
districts in paying teachers SO that
better teachers could be employed.

lected, and are of the poorest in many
cases. He says:
Il believe it will be to the interest
OF the state to repeal that part of the
law which reads in part as follows:
And 1t is hereby especially provided
that none of the said time payments,
or evidences of the same, shall be in
any manner hv%pothecated, or pledged,
sold or discounted in any manner by
said capitol commission for the pur-
pose of raising cash for the said CAPT
toll buildNg.' 1t has practically COM
PEELED me to sell our lands for cash.
Every one knows that IS per cent of
the lands in South Dakota are sold on
long time, and for that reason a
Larger Price Can Be Obtained.
l see no reason why a law should not
be passed allowing the commissioner
to sell for one-half cash, and the bal
ance on three or five years time, talk
ing a mortgage back on the land, the
capitol commission to be authorized
to sell said mortgage in the market.
Why the legislature should want to
change the custom of the country and
hinder the sale of these lands after
authorizing the same is hardly com
prehensible."

the little old red school house in the
country was good enough is past.
Il believe that the plans for every
country school should be drawn by
an architect, and it should be so con-
structed as to afford the greatest pos
sible advantages in light and other
necessary a%uXiliaries. I think that
the school house grounds should con-
tain shade trees, and that the grounds
should be fenced and protected as are
other private grounds.
"1n my recent tour of visiting the
schools of this county l visited every
school, and l was surprised at the
result of efforts which have been
made in the last year to improve the
surroundings OF the country schools.
l found trees in nearly every school
house yard, and a fence around near
ly every school house.
~ believe the state ought to help
the rural schools more than 1t does,

amount Of money lying idle in the

|FAVORS SALE Of LANDS ON TIME
Land Commissioner Presents a Report on the Progress in the
Sce OF Lands for the State House Fund.

Land Commissioner Bach has pre-
sented a report to the capitol COM
mission as to progress of the work
OF his department in the handling of
state capitol lands. The work is sum.
married. in the following.
Edmunds county, acres, 1.04O; sold
for $10,4o0.4o; per acre. $40; Faulk

800; sold for $4,000; per acre. $40:
total acres, 12,617.3S; sold for $3.50,
1854: per acre, S1O.32.
The total expenses for advertising.
appraising and selling these lands
have been s473.35.
In brief. the report states the fact
OF h offering of the lands at public
auction on two different dates, and
then d%isposing of other tracts at pri-
vat sale on the same terms as they
were offered at auction; the closing
out of the amount of land authorized
by the last legislature to be disposed
OF and the withdrawal OF lands from
sale when the total amount authorized
was reached.
Would Sell Lands on Time.
Mr. Bach recommends that the COM
Ing session as early as possible auth
orize further sales of the lands to al
low offerings the coming spring. as
he believes that considerable of the
land can be disposed of next year.
He asks that the legislature change
the law to give more limit to the com
mission in handling the lands. and
will slightly reduce the minimum
price, as the capitol lands were the
last of the endowment lands to be Sc.

They were hunting in a buggy and
started a wolf to which they gave

WINS TAX CASE.
States Attorney Has Victory In Rul.
ina on "~Scavenoer' Tax Law.

ing on "S~cavenger" Tax Law.
Attorney j.. H. Cole of Miller has
just won another notable victory in
the supreme court in tax deed litiga-
ton. The cause if of general inter
est as involving a construction of the
famous "~scavenger" tax law of 1901.
1t seems that while an ordinary tax
deed was issued in 1894 for the 1890
taxes on the land in controversy,
there was an 1889 tax sale certificate
outstanding on a sale to the county
for which the county resold the land
under the so-called "scavenger" law
in 1902. The lower court, Judge Whit
ing presiding. maintained the supe-
riority of the. tax judgment deed pro
cured under the sale. of 1902. This
the higher court has reversed.

Shoots Flying Bird From Rocking
Buggy and Catches 1t Falling.
To shoot a prairie chicken while
on the wing while the hunter was rid
ing in a buggy with the horses at
full run would be quite a feat, but
to have the buggy drawn under the
bird as it dropped, and the game to
fall in the box, is going at a rather
rapid gait even for Dakota hunting.
But that is the experience which Joe
Gerlack and Matt Wagner of Laurel,
Suliy county, claim for themselves.
