The Pioneer.Times says, the informa-
ton comes from reliable authority that
the Crouch line will commence it's op.
erations in the way of extension as soon
as the present repairs on the old line
have been completed, and it is thought
that these will not require more than
ten days more. The company has full
equipment at work on the washed out
road, consisting of two pile drivers, a
steam shovel and crew Of $50 men.
The work they have undertaken in the
way Of repairs has been considerable
task as 1t included not only the recon.
struction of the old road, but in many
instances the building OF practically
new line. There were ia bridges
washed out and the replacing Of these
alone was job of considerable magni-
tude. Besides this there has been an
attempt to put the road in condition
that will protect it from future floods

The original line extended from Ra

distance of thirty-nine miles. The pro
posed extension will take it sixty miles

TO give the Chicago, Milwaukee and st

Postal Cards Held UP.

The postal card craze has become a
serious matter with the postofice au.
thorities, and as result recent order
issued by the third assistant postmaste er
general has resulted in thousands of pos.
tal cards being held in every city in the
country.
They include cards decorated with
glass metal, mica, sand and tinsel, also
cards of questionable character and
those that contain obscene inscriptions.
They are all "held up" and then for
warded to the dead letter office at Wash.
ington, where they are destroyed.
When the order was issued several
months ago regarding this class of SOU.
venir cards some genius invented a
transparent envelope in which the cards
could be placed properly addressed and
stamped. Each envelope had an open
ing in the corner exposing the stamp
for cancellation, and all writing on the
cards could be easily seen through the
covering. Cards enclosed in this way
have been carried since, but will now
be held up for additional postage.

The recent attack on japanese in Brit
ish Columbia constitutes an interesting
event to lockers on in the United States
There is even more reason why British
subjects should treat the Japanese with
consideration than should American cit
izens, for Japan and Great Britain are
allies, having entered into an offensive
and defensive alliance. What the effect
on Japan of the recent riots will be can
not be foreseen, but it is difficult not to
regard the situation with some degree
of complacency, especially as the British
press was singularly frank in its criti.
cism Of this government when the San
Francisco riots occurred. Some OF the
British newspapers went so far as to
speak slightingly of government which
could not control it's own states, and now
they have the opportunity to contem-
plate their own government unable to
control its own colonies. In British
Columbia the cause of the trouble is the
same as in California, fear Of the com.
petition Of Japanese labor. If the Brit
ish should be compelled to sanction the
adoption by Canada and British Coum-
bia of japanese exclusion law, the
home government and the japanese
government would, perhaps, realize that
the United States had done the best il
could. and been as friendly to japan as
circumstances would permit in the face
of a difficult situation.

CLAIM MUCH LAND.

For the last four years the state has
been attempting TO settle tho question of
title to sections sixteen and thirty-six
In the Black Hills forest reserve, says a
recent special from Pierre. When the
enabling act was adopted the general
government donated to the state for
common school purposes sections sixteen
and thirty-six of every congressional
township in the state whether Survey
ed or unsurveyed." Later before the
surveys in the Black Hills section were
completed large part of that country
was set aside as forest reserve. Still la.
ter law was enacted allowing settlers
to make homestead entry on lands with.
in the forest reserve, which were not
valuable for timber. Under the law a
number of squatters went upon agricul-
tural lands within the reserve and later
when surveys were made they were
found to be upon sections claimed by
the state.
The contention of the state has been
ever since the question was raised that
these sections are state property but the
secretary of the interior has ruled all
along that the settlers had prior right
as they had settled prior to the survey,
and in fact that the provisions of the
enabling act meant practically nothing
On recent trip east Attorney Gener.
al Clark took up the matter with the
forest reserve legal department and
found that they believed in the conten-
ton ofthe state, but desired to settle the
matter in some way without disturbing
settlers, not only for South Dakota, but
for other forest reserve states
These two plans were suggested. One
that the states be given portion of the
forest reserve equal TO the two sections
in each township, but that it all be in
one body; the other that the states be
granted proportiOnate share in the
revenues from the forest reserves, equal
TO their claims in title that the reserve
be handled by the government, and the
amount due each state be turned over
to the school funds.
A conference of the legal officers of
the states interested with the legal de.
partment of the government will be call
ed at some central northw west city at an
early date, and some definite plan of
action will be formulated. While South
Dakota is the only state which has agi-
tated the matter, the other interested
states will be asked to take part. About
10000 acres is involved in this state, and
a much larger amount in other north
west states, and the government forest
ry department desires to have the whole
deal cleared up under one congressional
action.

N ew School Law .

The new school law which has just
gone into effect has made some sweeping
effects in the matter to which it per-
tains, especially in the organization OF
the systems of the public schools OF the
state. The subject Of compulsory edu-
cation received considerable attention,
making the parents or guardians respon-
sible for the attendance of pupils in the
schools between the ages of eight and
fourteen years for the entire term dur.
ing which the school is held II is in
the power of the Board of Education to
reduce the time to sixteen weeks, twelve
of which must be consecutive. The fine
the parents or guardians are liable to 10
not less than $40 or more than 500 for
each violation of the compulsory law.
The law also Rxes the amount of high
school tuition which must be paid by
the district in which an eighth grade
graduate resides, at not to exceed 81 per
month for those taking such high school
instruction.

Gasoline Warning by State Fire Marshal

State Fire Marshal Craft is sending
out letters of warning to fire chiefs all
over the state cautioning them in their
investigations of the storing and hand.
ling of gasoline. In the letters he re-.
ports sixty-nine fires in the state since
the first of July, of which eight have
been traced to the careless handling of
gasoline. The City of Huron reports
five fires, three of which started from
gasoline explosions. In one case fire
was started by man pouring gasoline
from one can to another while holding a
lighted pipe in his mouth, showing that
the gas from gasoline can be exploded
from a coal as well as from blaze. The
marshal urges the greatest of caution
in the storing of gasoline and asks that
those who handle it shall keep it in
open, detached buildings to allow the
escape Of the gas arising from it, instead
of allowing it to be confined where it
may explode with danger to fremen in
case Of their being called upon to fight
fire.
