The bug infested timber which is
being sold In the Black Hills Dy tho
forestry officials is going well. Last
months sales were approximately 1O,-
600. 900 feet, the majority of the tim
Der sold being in Pennington and Gus
ter counties. 1t will be used chiefly
for railroad ties and timber. 1t is ex-
pected that the sales for this month
will be even greater than for the pre-
cediLg month. This timber is being
disposed of In an effort to combat the
inroads being made by the bark beetle
upon the forests of that section. The
authorities have now decided that the
only possible way of saving the timber
is by cutting and disposing OF all that
is infested.

St. Paul, May 18.-Under decision
filed by the supreme court the inter
urban lines of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company are defined as COM
mon carriers, they have the right of
eminent domain and further are not

way company Is authorized to con-
denim right Of way through the vii
lagos of Excelsior and Minnetonka
and 1t is not to be hampered by the
lack of a franchise from these two
towns. which 1t has been refused.
In this respect 1t enjoys practically
the same rights as the steam roads,
which the lower court, interpreting
the revised code, claimed 1t did not
have.

he is considering advocating the ap-
pointment of commission by con-
gress to appraise the value Of railroad
properties in the United States," said

his return from the East. "The atti-
tude of the president is different from
that of Western state legislatures in
that he Is not in favor of estimating
merely the cost Of reproducing the
railroad properties. Roosevelt Is will

TO RAPID CITY.
Through Trains on the Milwau.
kee Will Be Running
by Aug. l.

Sioux City, Ia, May 16.-Advices
received yesterday at the traffic head
quarters of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railway company stated
that the track of the company's extern
sion westward from Chamberlain had
been put in such shape that an hour
had been clipped off the running time
Of the passenger train between Cham
berlain and Murdo. The passenger
train will make connections at Murdo
with q mixed train which will run on a
slow schedule to Kadoka, the present
operating terminus of the extension.
The line westward from Kadoka will
be opened for slow trains, which will
carry passengers just as fast as stations
can be established every eight or ten
miles.
The rapidity with which the con
struction work is being pushed west
ward from Kadoka and eastward from
the Rapid creek valley terminus seems
to justify the prophecy Of the constr nc
tion force made a month ago that thu
two ends shall be CONNECTED up SO thai
through trains may be operated from

INDIAN ALLOTMENTS.
Discussion of Western Lands
and Opening of Trip
County Lands.

Dallas, Gregory County, May 49,
Major Edward B. Kelley. Indian agent,
came overland by automobile from the
Rosebud agency, and spent day and a
night in Dallas. While here he stated
that there were about one thousand
Indians to be allotted. A very large
majority of these have selected allot-
ments near their parents in Meyer,
Lugenbeel and Washabaugh counties.
There are three resons why the Indians
select allotments in these counties
First, as stated. the parents allot their
children near their OVID land; second,
the pasture is better farther west than
in Trip county; third the counties
west will be fully occupied by Indians
and will never be thrown open to set
tlement.
There will be more Indians transfer
their allotments from Tripp to the
counties west than there will transfer
ring from the counties west to Tripp.
No Indians allotted in Gregory coun-
tY will be permitted to transfer to the
reservation.
Most of the Indians to be allotted
have selected their lands and desig-
mated their choice in legal manner by
placing their flags thereon. Those se-
lected in Trip county are nearly all
along the streams near the lands Of the
parents Of the allottee, and near the
center of the county, where the wise
ones are hoping to get near the future
county seat. This will be the last
Rosebud land to be opened to settlement.
Major Kelley says that the average
price of all Indian heirship lands sold
in Tripp county up to date is s6. rs per
acre, and that some quarters have
brought more than $50 per acre. The
fact that careful investors have paid
q, 300 per quarter for land when they
have no right to till or Craze it and
cannot even lawfully 60 over the reser-
vation to visit the land without first
getting permit from the agent, and
tnat the title in no case is warranted
as absolute, speaks well for the quality
and value Of Trip county land.
Because Of the fact that the opening
is SO near at hand, the government po-
lice that patrol the reservation will not
enforce tho rule to keep all trespassers
of the reservation as rigidly as they
have heretofore.

GOOD BYE KELLY POOL.
Orders Have Been Issued for the
Second Time to Proprietors of
Pool Halls to Cease the
Game in Their Places.

Good bye, Mr.. Kelly Pool, good bye
The decree has gone forth for the
second time, and for the last time
and hereafter any billiard and poo
parlor proprietor that allows the
game to be played in his place OF
business will be given the limit ol
the law. Not long since at a meeting
OF the city council instructions were
given to the chief of police to notify
all proprietors that the game had
been put under the ban, and for sey
eral days the order was Obeyed A
few days since, in his rounds, Chiel
Garrett found the game being played
in several places, and yesterday aft
ernoon again notified the proprietors
that 1t must stop, as several com
plants had been made to the city of
ficials that the game was still in
progress.
Chief Garrett stated that it was his
intention to arrest every one found
playing the game and confscate the
tables under the federal law.

w THIS CITY-AMATEURS GET.

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
Cause OF No Steps Being Taken to
Perfect the Organization Of pro.

Promoters.

The amateur base ball playcrs Of
this city are taking advantage OF she
beautiful weather we have bcal hav-
ing for the past few days AMI are got
ting themselves in shape to play base
Dali this summer and in case the or
ganization of n professional team
should not be successful fast anna
teur team will be organized ana the
base ball fans of this city will have
an opportunity of seeing fast amateur
ball PLAYED
Thee ity affords a number of fast
amateur players who are getting In
| shape fast before organizing team.
II is hoped that professional team
may be organized and the league
formed that has been in contemplation
Tor the past week or more.
The great trouble with securing "a
team and putting it on paying basis
in this city is that no suitable grounds
can be secured close in, and the cost
of attending base ban game will be
entirely too much should the PARK be
built in the outskirts OF the city. \
person attending baseball game does
not like the idea of paying twenty
five or fifty cents for buggy or car
riage hire and then having to pay
thirtyfive cents for the privilege OF
seeing a base ball game. Should ar
rangements be made so as Il round
trip to the park may be had FOR the
sum OF ten cents it would take but
a few days for the promoters of a
team in this city to get together and
secure team. The distance from the
park to the city is most too great to
walk and the cost of Transportation Is
too much so as to take the crowds
out.
1t will hardly be possible for the
street railway men to have the line
completed in time for TINS season
hence unless some arrangement can
be made whereby a rount trip 20 the
park may be had for ten cents the
people of this city will have to be
satisfied with amateur base ball.
