Day County Shows the Highest Bid
for Hay Lands, at 81.
The lease books Of the different
counties Of the state have been re
turned to the state land department,
showing heavier loases than for many
years past. This is accounted for by
the fact that a large number Of term
leases expire this year.
Day county shows the highest bid
for lay lands at So an acre for one
tract. Brown county shows the great
est percentage OF increase over the
minimum lease prices fixed, most OF
the land leased in that county going
above the minimum, That county also
was practically cleared up In the way
Of state lands, most Of It which was
for lease being taken.
West Of the river there was a
strong demand. but apparently not
strong enough to bring any competi>

RANGE LAW CAN'T 6E APPLIED.
Supreme Court Exen,pts Lyman and
Other Counties.

Under the decision of the supreme
court, the stock interests evidently
stole a march on the homesteaders in
the last Legislative session. when they
proposed a compromise measure be-
tween the wiping out OF the range. and
the continuance of il, The cOmpro
mise requires the question TO be sub
mitted to the voters of the different
counties. the free range to be cut out
ON a vote to that effect. Ii the home
steaders had stood pat" they might
have been defeated on their law to
wipe out the free range; but now I'M
der the court decision. they would be
in control. The stock interests
advised by their attorneys that their
case was not a favorable one for them
and they got the compromise.
The opinion Of the court was based
on a provision OF the statute which
was not raised by the attorney In the
case. They brought up the case on
constitutional grounds and on the
validity OF a discriminatory statute,
which did not apply with equal force
to the whole state. The holding of the
court is that the old free range law
could not apply to Lyman county, as
II was specifically mentioned in any
Of the statutes relating to range. The
attempt to cover Lyman, Stanley and
portions OF Meade and Pennington
counties was to amend the existing
law to cover territory in unorganized
counties generally, and in all counties
organized after 1889. The court holds
on this that so long as Lyman county
was not specifically named, the law
cannot be made to apply to that IA
ty. The same provision should apply
with equal force to other counties not
specifically named.
%Stocknen say the homesteaders are
Keeping their stock on the VI by the
aid Of dogs and are cutting all the
profit from them, and while the law is
in favor of the stockmen. the facts as
they actually exist are against them.
In Lyman county petitions are being
circulated to try a vote under the pro-
visions Of the new law. Regardless
of legislation Or no legislation on the
subject. the country will have TO
change in time from range stock to
the dairy COW and farmer.

From the above mentioned yields
you can readily understand that ! am
very we'll pleased with the Canadian
West. OF course, / have had to work

get such a good return for my labor.
To anyone thinking about coming to

must have their eye sight tested
when they enter the service, again
when they enter another branch Of
work which makes greater demands
on the eye sight, and again when ap-
pointed to an Official position. Be-
sides this, the eye sight must be test
ed anew every five years, at which
time the men are also to be exam
ened for ocular and constitutional at
fections and also for injuries to the
head.
