ON DESERT LAND.
Government Officials Decide in Favor
OF Original Settlers. =

Charles l. Rudel has lost his contest
before the United States land office
against Tylda Sundquist, a young
woman of Butte county. who is en-
deavoring to cultivate some desert
land. The decision finally rendered
by the Rapid City land Office officials
and is of extreme importance to all
settlers who have taken up desert
land in that section. The ruling was
that the land in question is properly
desert land, although capable under
certain circumstances and at odd
times Of bearing good crops. The
contestee is therefore permitted to re-
tain possession of the land on which
she has lived for a number Of years
past and unless the decision is reversed
by the land office officials at Washing
ton, many others who have similar
lands are safe in the possession of
them, regardless of the extent of the
crops they raised. The officials here
held that although the crops were in
some years good, the land was of a
rolling nature and not good agricul-
tural ground.

BIG PROFIT IN ALFALFA.
One Farmer Realizes More Than $50
an Acre.


A return of more than $50 an acre
from alfalfa on this years crop alone
Is reported by Fred Ebert, a farmer
in the northwestern corner of Hughes
county, and it is certainly a good re-
turn to secure from land which Is
selling at about $40 an acre. Ebert
has a large acreage of alfalfa, and
the first cut this year brought two
and a half tons an acre. which sells
in the local market at $40 ton. He
cut the field over a second time, but
left two acres for seed. He threshed
this with common threshing ma
chine and secured thirteen bushels of
seed, which he sold at 50 a bushel.
This brought his returns from the two
acres to more than $50 an acre. He
is extending his acreage of alfalfa ev-
cry year and will soon have most of
his farm in that crop. Others of his
neighbors are doing we'll with that
crop, but his record appears to be a
little the best of any Of them this
year.

According to the agreement the
building must be completed by

The sum of the lowest bids on
separate portions of the building
was SI6I,o 900. On account of the
uncertainty OF getting work done
on time and the expense of hiring
an extra superintendent to take
the place of the person of general
contractor, the board decided that
the bid of Whiteway & company
was the best.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, aud unless the intlamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
bearing will be destroyed forever;nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

conditions on the islands said
"There are now about 10000 Japs
Ia the Hawaiian islands, $4,000
Chinese and $4,000 Portuguese besides
the natives and few thousand
Americans and English. In case of
trouble the Japs would force the
Chinese to do their bidding, and,
should war be declared, with no
preparations taken for Honolulu, the
Japs would rise up and take possess
sion of the entire group Of islands
within "a hours.
zone popularity of this immlgra-
tion of the japanese is that large
majority Of the immigrants are
veterans of the recent war with
Russia. These are fighting men and
they can be depended upon to work
for the Mikado in time of necessity.

on the Islands and the government
