70 DECIDE FORESTRY QUESTION
s. D. Attorney General and Federal
Bureau Discuss Problem.

Attorney General Clark has just had
a long conference at Washington with
the bureau of forestry relative to con.
troyersies 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 claimed by the state. The
proposition was advanced that the
state be given a solid block of forest
land in exchange for the isolated
tracts claimed by 1t, and 1t is probable
that a settlement will be made on
that basis.
The conference resulted In a decis.
ion of the officials of the bureau ia
call for a 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 nea future
at some central city in the Middle
West.
In Boston MI. 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, me branch coming from
Canada and one from Arkansas. The
supreme court at one time decided
that none of the claimants were the
rightful ones and that the property
should escheat to the state. A new
trial was granted On rehearing and II
is now up to the legal department OF
the state to sustain the courts form,
or decision.

LOSE RESERVOIR LANDS.
Few Filters Garry Out Plan They Are
Required to Follow.


Required to Follow.
Two years ago a large number Of
reservoir filings were made in Stanley
county, many of the settlers filing
such declaratory statements at the
same time as they filed homesteads.
These filings were under a law which
gave the claimant possession only so
long as he held a certain required
amount of water on the claim, the
amount being based on the acreage
held. Under the law he must allow
the public free access to such water
at all times, and must file with the
land Office an annual certified state
ment that he was holding the required
amount of water. Many of the filings
were only to hold tracts for friends
who afterward filed homesteads on the
same, but others were filed with the
expectation of holding them. Few car
ried out the plan, and the land Office
at Pierre now is %cancelling many such
filings, allowing the tracts to be taken
under the homestead laws by appli-
cantS.

Federal Land Office at Rapid City Is
Working Overtime.

So fast is the country growing that
the United States land office at Rapid
City is working overtime to keep up.
Settlers continue to pour into the
country east of here by the hundreds.
The land office records for July show
a surprising increase in business, and
this is being kept up this month. Ac-
cording to the figures for July there
were 504 land entries at this office
to 267 in Pierre in the central part Of
the state, while 167 people secured
final entries here to 1874 at Pierre.
There were but 100 contests filed,
which is lower than usual. The city
is about to receive from the contract
ors the new sewerage system that has
been completed at a cost of nearly
100000. This was necessary, owing
to the increasing population, as Rapid
City is fast nearing the 1000 mark.

ian missionaries and at the same
lime regrets that they have been I'M
able to accomplish more than they
have.
Rockefeller has learned that the
missionaries have conducted their
work principally among the lower
classes. 1t is his intention to change
conditions in this respect. He is de-
sirous of having the influential ele-
ment educated first, thereby starting
at the top.
Although Rockefeller has not as yet
worked out all the details of his plans,
1t is known that throughout the en-
pire he will establish educational in
stitutions modelled after the one called
the International institute in Shang-
hal.
At this institution only the better
class of Chinese are given the advan-
tage of receiving an education. 1t is
not his purpose to allow religion to
be one of the studies. He is more
anxious that the benefits of home life
i'll the more enlightened nations
should be taught.
John D. Rockefeller says there is
no truth in the report that the oil
king would give $50,000,000 to modern
ize the Chinese. According to his sec
