MORE ROSEBUD
LAND OPENED
Opening of Trip Co. Lands Similar
To That at BoneSteel

Norfolk, Neb., Jan. 3l-MajCr
James Mclaughlin, who was sent by
President Roosevelt to treat with the
Rosebud Sioux, for the opening of
the Trip county lands, arrived in
Norfolk today from the Rosebud,
where he has just completed an
agreement, along the lines of the
Burke bill, for the settle of the Trip
county portion of the reservation.
The Indians, after several weeks
of parleying, agreed to accept Sc an
acre for the lands settled the first
three months, $3.50 an acre after
that for four months, and $3.50 for
all after that, including school lands.
All Indian children born in the
past eight years are to receive allot-
ments. The opening will be similar
to that at Bonesteel, of the Gregory
county portion Of the reserve, and
VIII TAX place probably not before a
year.
There are in the county 1,09400O
acres, of which 1873, 900 have already
been allotted, leaving 956, 900 now
open. This will be reduced mater
tally by allotments to the children,
and Major Mclaughlin estimates
that zoe, 900 acres will be thrown
open to settlement-or twice the
territory opened in Gregory county
The Indians are perfectly satisfied
tho at first they demanded $40 an
acre. Major Mclaughlin left al
noon for Valentine to get a list OF
names of the children born in the
past eight years.

SEED CORN
EXPERTS REPORT
Farmers are Cautioned to Care
fully Examine it

Agricultural Experiment Station,
Brookings, S. D., Jan. 20, 1907.-The
experiment station has every wear in
the past tested a large number of
samples of seed corn for farmers.
We wish to make this a strong fea-
ture of our work this year and to
that end invite your cooperation.
Never before in the history of the
state has the vitality and germinat-
ing power of seed corn been so low
as it is this year. There is but a
small per cent of the corn husked
this fall that will grow at all, and the
vitality in a great deal of it that does
show life is so low that when plant
ed it will never reach the top of the
ground. know that these are the
actual conditions that exist, but that
| may have the data to drive the i'm
p~ortance of it home to each farmer
| want to test several thousand sam
Piles of seed corn before spring.
To help us to get these samples,
which will furnish us the data we
want, as well as to help the farmer
whose seed is tested, | would ask you
to insert in your columns such local
or locals as you may see fit calling
attention in as forcible a manner as
you can to the general poor condition
of seed corn throughout the north
west, and stating that we will test
and report on the vitality of all
samples of seed that are sent to us.
Two kernels taken from each of one
hundred ears makes a good sample
for such a test.
This is a part of the campaign to
secure a good crop another year. and
as such / think needs no argument to
convince you of its value to your
locality. Yours truly,
JOHN S. COLE,
! Agronomist.

THE BIG REDBARN
OF STOCKMEN

Lewis Manning announces that he
is preparing to put up a large mod
ern stock barn on his farm in Logan
twp, as soon as the weather permits.
Contractor Dawson is now drawing
the plans. Each year these barns
increase in number.
A winter like the present one
forcibly emphasizes the necessity of
being well prepared to care for
stock.
The destruction of stock on the
big ranges in Canada, Montana and
North Dakota by occasional severe
winters, and the demand for range
country by homestead settlers, is
rapidly changing the stock business
into the hands of the small farmer
and stockman. This means a better
grade of stock, and preparation to
care for them in severe weather; it
means the building of shelter, and
gathering of feed for CONVENIENCE in
fleming through the winter season.
The stockman of the future will
keep on hand just as many head of
stock as his facilities and help will
allow him to care for-not in the
best of weather, but in worst. He
will have no losses; he will grow
more feed; be will grade up to a
quality of stock that will bring him
more money.

EVERYBODY WALKS
NOBODY TREATS
Anti-Pass. Anti-Lobby, and Anti
Treat Going at Pierre

Pierre, Feb. 5-The senate passed
the two cent rate bill by a vote of 80
to II; and passed the house resolu-
ton calling for a constitutional con
vention for an amendment for cleo
ton of senators by popular vote.
Pierre, S. D., Feb. A. Martin to-
day introduced in the house, a dupli-
cate of the Tobin anti-treating bill
of the senate. 1t prohibits treating
or the giving of free drinks in any
saloon in the state, its intent being
to discourage social drinking.
Pierre, S. ID. Feb. 5.-The house
of representatives yesterday concur-
red in the senate amendments to the
anti-lobby bill, which now goes to the
governor. 1t forbids lobbying ex-
cept in a formal argument before a
regular legislative committee. But
the amendment to forbid members
lobbing each other or trading votes
failed to get through.
In the committee of the whole on
the senate anti-pass bill, the first
amendment offered was by Carroll,
placing newspaper publishers who
have advertising contracts with any
railway company, which advertising
is payable in mileage books with
those who are exempt from the pro-
visions of the bill. This was opposed
by Brown, Eastman, Carver AMI
Stokes, and approved by Glass, ct al,
Foster then moved to amend by
striking out the whole Of section
nine, the emergency clause of the
bill, and in speaking for his amend
ment, said there was no use of going
around the bush in his amendment
nor playing hypocrite. He had come
to the session on a pass and wanted
the privilege of going home the same
way. when we start for home it is
likely to be muddy and walking bad.
There are a lot of other men,
bers in the same position if they
would vote their honest sentiments
on the bill. A lot of the state lead
ers have been riding on passes for
years and US fellows who have just
had a taste of it are to be cut off
now, and it is not fair.
Pierre, Feb. Sin the senate to-
day Vessey introduced a bill creating
the office of commissioner of i'm
migration, and appropriating $l5-
600 for the first fiscal year, and $12-
900 for the second fiscal year.
Two more bills affecting railroads
were introduced in the house, one
fixing the minimum strength of a
passenger train crew, the other to
enlarge the powers Of the railway
commission.
After amending the capitol build
ing bill, carrying an appropriation
of $500, 900 which is to come prin-
cipally from the sale Of state lands,
the bill was adoped by the senate by
unanimous vote. The bill as passed
gives South Dakota materials a five
per cent advantage over material
from out side states.
The county local option met its
Waterloo in the house by a vote Of
fifty to thirty-two and the support
ers of that measure will now resort
to the initiative and referendum to
attempt to secure their desire.

CATION and experiment station let
the state father the project, stretch
out our hands, receive the money
and experiment along the lines for
which the money vas raised and in
tended. These are the reasons for
the name.
This is not all, about 1887 Congress
passed an act by which Bookings
gets SIS, 900 annually for maintaining
an experiment station. Last winter
another act passed by which all states
get 5000 additional for the same
purpose with an addition of $4,000
a year until 1911 when it will reach
SIS, GOO or $50, 900 a year in all to
South Dakota. Now if this bill
should pass J of 100000 could be
made available for the experiment
station.
If this bill should pass it would be
possible to place this institution on
its feet in fine shape without prac-
tically using a dollar from the state
treasury for d long term of years
and perhaps never.
Now there are two elements in the
state that will combine to defeat it
at this session. All through the
~artesian belt is a large number of
land agents and real estate men.
The real estate men are a honorable,
permanent persons doing a legiti-
mate business, while the land agents
are more or less transient. With a
few pieces of land listed to sell, each
one becomes very noisy, While land
values continue upward they manage
to live, multiply and getnoisy. They
sacrifice everything and anything to
boost the price of land. They even
sacrifice truth to accomplish this end
But when land gets to the top and
stops advancing or begins to slide the
other way the land agents disappear
like grasshoppers in a frost. They
are a useless class of people and
never do the state any good. But
they are numerous now ard their
influence reaches the Legislature from
all over the artesian belt.
The wants of the typical land
agent are peculiar and provoke q
smile, and yet he isa thorn in the
flesh of the genuine real estate man.
He offices in his hat and on depot

and trail of a tenderfoot. He wants

Senator King Explains Name OF Irrigation
for Purpose of Securing Govt Aid
Money in u S Treasury for this Purpose--Pays His
Respects to Opponents of his Enterprise

South Dakota has ever been taken
to receive it or share its benefits.
Some two or three years ago the
government went we'll to the north
west part of the state, in the North
ern Hills, and have tried to establish
some irrigating plants. But there is
not one farmer in a thousand who
knows how to irrigate after the
plants are established.
Now the object of this bill is to
put the state in the position to CO.
operate. Establish a college Of irri-

but have been requested by friends
of the bill to do so.
An explanation of the bill at this
time might not be amiss. The OBJ
jects of the bill are five in number.
LIST To cooperate with the gov
eminent of the United States in it's
extensive irrigation projects in this
state; to properly educate persons
in the art or science of agriculture
by means of irrigation.
End To establish and maintain an
irrigated farm in conjunction with
a college, the farm to be irrigated
with waters of the ~artesian basin;
where persons of both sexes may re-
cieve a liberal education and a
thorough knowledge of irrigation.
Sd To teach by practical illustra-
tons the benefits that may be deriv-
ed from the artesian forces as a
water power in the arts, sciences
and domestic economy.
4th To teach gasomety or the
means of catching, storing and utiliz-
ing the natural gases that flow from
Artesian wells of the state. Tomake
this department an agent or means
of collecting and distributing infor-
nation to the end that the gas belt
be known in all parts Of the state
where gas may exist.
5th The experiment station is to
experiment along all lines for which
this college is established, and to es-
pecially assist in locating and extend
ing the gas belt, and to experiment,
discover, and teach the multitude of
utilities to which the gas may be APP
piled.
The above is the object and aim of
the bill. The balance of the bill is
the law, rules, regulations, etc, III
S the bill passes and becomes 6
law. .
The term irrigation is the most
objectional part of the bill and il
is very unfortunate that it is SO, but
the reason for using this name vii
now give:
In 1892 the Congress of the u. S
set apart Is states and three terri
tories as "semi-arid' and made pro
vision for experimental and teach
ing irrigation. South Dakota wa.
one of the states.
To make provisions for expert
menting on irrigation the Congress
set aside a certain per cent of pro
ceeds of land sales for that purpose
A fund of SIC, 0OO, 600 was soon ac
cumulated in the u. S. treasury. i
keeps accumulating quite rapidly
South Dakota's portion of that a few
years ago was SOFA, 600 and still
growing. No act on the part o,
