Scotty Gets Snake Bit.

scotty Philip, who was at one
time rancher near Philip, s. D.,
and started that town on the road to
a splendid destiny by giving it a
good name, had an encounter with a
rattler down on the Lower Brule
reservation Tuesday. AS result
the scotchman is laid up with a
badly swollen ankle. Kerosene, sui
phur and other home remedies were
resorted to at once. Mr.. Philip is
recovering rapidly and expresses the
conviction that the after affect of the
Whiskey remedy to which the cow
boys treated him, are much more dis
concerting than a mere snake bite.
While recovering he also finds food
for reflection in the fact that, all
though he has spent practically all
his life in this locality and has en-
countered most of the experiences
that come to an ordinary westerner,
he never before had the misfortune
to get snake bitten.

IMPORTANT LAND CASE
Contest of Desert Land Entry Will
Provo Important Question.

A question of utmost Importance
to many settlers in this land district
who have filed on government land
'under the provisions of the Desert
Land Act, is now awaiting the de-
cision of the Register and Receiver
of the Rapid City United States Land
office, as the result of contest tried
before them on Monday and Tuesday
of this week. The contest was in
stitnted by Charles L. Rudel against
the Desert Entry of Tylta Sundquist,
and has aroused considerable inter-
est among settlers who have filed on
desert lands in this district.
The land in controversy is stu
ated three and one-half miles north
east of Belle Fourche, and only three
miles from the government irrigation
project. The contest was instituted
against the entry on the ground that
the land 1t embraced is not properly
desert In character within the mean
ing of the Desert Land Act of March
3rd, 1887, which provides, among
other things that, call lands exclu-
sive of timber lands and mineral
lands, which will not without arti-
f1clal irrigation, produce some agri-
cultural crop, shall be deemed desert
within the meaning of this act," and
which also provides that, "the de-
termination of what may be consid-
cred desert land, shall be subject to
the decision and regulation of the
Commissioner of the General Land
Office"
Under this power placed in the
hands of the Commissioner, he has
prescribed, that, Glands which will
produce native grasses sufficient in
quantity, f unfed by grazing animals,
to make an ordinary crop of hay in
usual seasons, are not desert lands, /"
also that, lands which will produce
an agricultural crop of any kind in
amount to make the cultivation rea-
sonably remuneratiye are not des-
ert.'
1t can be readily seen that the de-
cision now pending, will be Of far
reaching consequence as q test case,
for the reason that hundreds of set
tiers on desert lands in this land dis
trict are situated under circumstances
similar to those of the contestee.
If the decision is favorable to the
contestant, large percentage of set
tiers now holding land under the
Desert Land Laws will be rendered
practically helpless under any con-
test which may be instituted against
their entry, for the reason that the
rainfall during the last two years
has greatly exceeded that Of former
years.
Tyler overpeck. of Belle Fourche,
represented the contestant and VIII
llams & Sweet, Of this city appeared
for the defense.
In next weeks issue we hope to
be able to report the decision rem
dered.

sented at The Hague wanted some
modification of war; not one wanted
or expected the abolition OF war. The

sented at The Hague wanted som,
modification of war; not one wanted
or expected the abolition of war. Tht
inconsistencies Of the speeches ant
resolutions are traceable to the fac,
that the delegates were advertised
to the world as the advance agents
of universal peace while they were
only the revisionists OF war. More.
over, the revision OF war was in
the hands of its friends. The great
powers, Germany, Russia, Japan are
distinctly war powers. The other
great powers, Great Britain, America
and France are powers capable of
war, and all of thebn are mixed up
with problems which may call for
war at any moment The remainder
Of the Hague representation might
have been for peace, but it was the
cipher behind .ne significant figure.
1t increased the Importance of the
digit without adding to its own value.
Yet the character and achieve
ments of the Hague conference are
not to be secuted. The fact that
such conference could be held
with the attendance OF all the great
nations OF the world is in itself sig
nificant. The fact that 1t did not
agree to abolish war Ia insignificant.
Nobody expected the impossible and
nobody but the Steads and their en-
thusiasts is going to be ddsap-
pointed that the impossible was not
accomplished.
The conference developed the ca
pacity of the nations to work to-
gether in some small matters. It
points clearly to their being able to
work together in greater matters.
1T might take several generations
of such conferences to abolish war,
but not one of them could be held
without some good being accom-
plished. Each one would add valu-
able items to the body of interna-
tional law. Each one would make
the nations know each other better
and respect each other more.-Min-
