In the past under congressional en-
actments the general land office has rul.

on which it was impossible for him to
secure water, or for other good reasons,
he was allowed to relinquish the same

tract more satisfactory to himself.
The present officials at the head of the
general land department hold that this
cannot be done under present laws, and
there are scattered over the western half
of the state a number of homesteaders

One case in Stanley county the entry

dollars worth of improvements on the
tract, which he now holds under filing

only way he can secure relief is by some
such enactment.

eph Paul and Isabelle Hazetine His
boyhood days were spent in Fryburg
and when nineteen years of age he went
to Watertown, n. Y, where he engaged
in the carpenter business with his broth
er. In 1853 he left Watertown for sgd
nam, Canada. where he engaged in the
sash and door business until 1860 when
he went back to Watertown as superin-
tendent of bridge construction on the
Grand Trunk railway, from which posi-
ton he retired in 1861 and again bought
a half interest in the sash and door bust
ness in Sydnam.
During his first residence in Sydna m
he was married to Catherine Johnson
on the 25th day of July, 1858. One
child was born to the couple in Can
ada.
Mr. Hazeltine went to Virginia City
Nevada, in May of 1869, where be was

Win Test Medicine Clause.

South Dakota druggists will be reliev-
ed to find that Pure Food Commission.
er Wheaton will ask the state supreme
court for an Interpretation of the patent
medicine clause Of the new pure food
law before attempting general enforce
ment Of his own Interpretation of it. A
test case is to be instituted at Sioux
Falls and carried to the supreme court
TO decide just what the law means, and
whether it is constitutional Mean
while the druggists who have not been
obeying the Wheaton Interpretation will
not be molested. If the supreme court
decides the law means what Commits.
sioner Wheaton says it means and that
1t is constitutional, the pure food COM
sioner will very properly enforce it,
whether or not such enforcement may
be either popular or good business"
The point to be settled is whether pro-
prietory remedies must carry state
ment of all their ingredients on the la
bel. The national pure food law re-
quires publicity only for poisonous or
narcotic ingredients. South Dakota
druggists say it is unreasonable to i'm
pose in their state restrictions that are
not imposed in other states. Their claim
is that the effect would be to turn all the
patent medicine business over to mail
order houses. The impression at the
time the law was passed was that it con.
formed TO the national law in its patent
medicine regulations. If this is not the
fact, it will be up to druggists to obey
the law as it is, until it can be amended
if amendment is deemed advisable.
Commissioner Wheaton is doing
polite thing in not insisting on compli
ance with the law as he construes it un.
til the supreme court has sustained his
view. If he should prove to be in the
wrong there would be no way of squar.
ing himself with the druggists who had
been punished under wrong interpre-
tation Of the law.-Sioux City Journal.

Custer High School Wins.

On the evening of December the 7tt

They were smaller than the locals on
the average but had reputation for
speed
The game was called at s p. M, and
although the Spearfsh girls lived up to
their reputation, it was soon manifest
that speed and team work could be de.
yeloped in Custer. The local girls by
good, clean play, repeatedly had the ball
under the opponents basket but lost it
on account of close guarding The score
for the first half was Custer l3, Spear
fish 7.
After ten minutes rest the two teams
lined up for the second half The High
School girls played loosely for a few
minutes but were soon ready for bust
ness and again started their scoring ma
chine. Spearfsh was game but had to
yield to the inevitable and the game,
which was close but never for a moment
in doubt, ended with a victory for our
girls. Score: Custer 20, Spearfsh u.

There has been a general impression
that the Tripp county lands would be
thrown open for settlement some time
next summer. According to letter
sent by Allotment Agent J. II. ScriSen
to the Mitchell Republican. 1t will re-
quire still another year before the work
he is on has been completed. in the
letter of Mr.. Scriven spoken of above he
gives some idea regarding the work be-
fore him. He has during the time that
he has been at work made some six hun
dred allotments, while there are still
nine hundred Indians to receive allot
ments. The Indians seem to be in nc
hurry. Now the ground has frozen ~
and il makes the work of driving stakes
or making mounds practically out Of th'

The note of conservatism sounded by
Speaker Cannon in referring to financial
legislation in his address to the Repub
lican caucus will meet with theapproval
of thoughtful people throughout the
country in spite of the numerous de-
mands voiced through the press that i'm
mediate action be taken in the matter.
Any effort to legislate expeditiously on
the currency problem would almost in
evitably result in the passage Of ill-ad-
vsed or ill-considered measures. There
seems to be general belief that some
legislation of a remedial character will
be enacted during this session but it
should be the result Of due deliberation,
in every way credit to the party, and
not "half-baked" measure passed un-
der the pressure Of an evsuescent ener-
gency.

recent stringency in the money market
