VOTE FOR DIVISION OF BUTTE.
County Commissioners Act Favorably
~E~r~-- on Petitioners

County Commissioners Act FavorabIy
on Petitioners.
The Butte county commissioners
have granted petitions which will
mean a vote in November to cut that
county into three separate ~organiza.
tions, one in the northeast corner to
be known as Perkins county and one
in the northwest to be known as
Harding county. This would cut
Butte county proper down to about
what it originally was before the
county expansion scheme of ten years
ago.
The people of Lennon are pushing
for the northeast county, and ask for
about eighty townships, covering all
that part of Butte between h state
line and the northern line of Mead
county or what is known as the Jog
portion of the county, and want II
named Perkins. They expect a coun
ty seat by the move regardless Oh
their geographical location in h pro
posed new county.
The county wanted as Harding
would only revive an old name, as
most of the territory asked for in this
county was at one time under tina
name. The people of Camp Croot
are pushing this move, n are afteI
a count seat. They want that par
of Butte extending from the west lin
of the proposed Perkins county 10 IN
Montana line, and from the North ia
kota line south to the line between
townships IA and 10.
Either of the proposed e cou
tics and Butte county as left would b
called immense, and will be larg
enough for further division with srea
er nopulation.

How q Cat Caught Two Bats.

I once had a cat who did a rather
remarkable feat. He stafked two
young rats on the caves OF a low fat
stable roof. and caught n in the
usual way. The other jumped on to
elderberry tree just below.
Bob. however. not satisfied with the
one, grasped it firmly in his mouth.
and then Jumped headlong for the
other. Either he was very lucky or
extraordipars agile, for he fell to the
ground with one rat still in his mouth
and the other in his paws, and prompt.
ly killed them both.

LITTLE TIME LEFT FOR FILING.
Rosebud Free Homestead Lands to Be
Withdrawn.

Withdrawn.
In a few days the free homestead
lands on the Rosebud reservation in
Gregory county will be withdrawn
from public entry, in accordance with
the general land laws, which provides
Tor this after the lands have
been open for fling for a period of
four years. The time for further
filings will expire with the close OF
business at the land office in Mitchell
on Aug. Z.
Register Burns states that there are
about 10000 acres of land left yet to
be filed upon on the Rosebud, most
Of which is desirable farm lands.
While all the land was drawn by lot
terry four years ago, there were many
who never showed up to file on the
land which was awarded them in the
drawing. It is likely that the gen.
eral land office will provide a way in
which these lands can be secured by
the public, and which will be given
due publicity.
The register and receiver of the
United States land office of Mitchell
have received information from S. V.
Proudfit, the acting commissioner OF
the general land Office of Washing
ton, directing them what to do in the
premises. the substance of which is
as follows:
THE act of April %, 1904 (33 Stat,
254), opening to settlement and en-
try that portion of the coded Rosebud
indian reservation in Gregory county,
South Dakota, contains the following
provision:
"All lands herein coded and opened
to settlement under this act remain
ing u~ndisposed of at the expiration of
four years from the taking effect of
this act, shall be sold and disposed of
for cash under rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the secretary OF
the interior, not more than $40 acres
to any one purchaser.
"Said act took effect on Aug. s, 1904.
The four-year period mentioned in The
above provision expires with Aug. !,
1908. In view of the above you will
not. after Aug. Z, 1908. allow home
stead entries to be made of any lands
vacant at the close of business on
said date, except upon application filed
in your office on or prior to said date,
or in the exercise OF a preference
right gained through contest, or based
upon a valid settlement established
prior to said date and timely assert
ed. Lands embraced In an existing
entry on Aug. 8, 1908, may be entered
under the homestead law according to
present regulations at the price fixed
by first entry hereof, should the lands
become vacant. The matter of dis
posing of the lands remaining undis-
posed of at the expiration of the four
year period referred to above, will be
the subject of further consideration
Since practically the first settlement
begun on the Rosebud after the land
had been opened to fling, the lands
have increased in value because of
the richness of the soil for agricul-
tural purposes, and good crops have
been the rule every year since. Many
new towns have sprung into existence
in various parts of the reservation, all
Of which are making a steady growth
and development along all lines.

"wf 10 came to conquer the world with love, was God-announced in blaze of Glory, by a multitude of the heavenly host,' to a few simple hearted shep- herds abiding in the fields keeping watch oyer their ilocks by night.
 The Holy Child Jesus, lying in man. ger, is the sign and proof to us that all human life. whatever the worldly con ditions by which it may be surrounded, is ever predous in the eyes of the in- finite love. Everything about the Holy Family teaches that however humble, or however exalted our earthly estate may be, our common humanity is sane tifed and lifted up by every touch of sympathy with that which is spiritual and divine. The blessed Virgin and the infant Saviour make US all akin to each other and to all the family of God, both on the earth and in heaven. And the cbild-like spirit of the humble, trusting heart is now, as ever, the medium of heavens richest blessings to the care-worn children of this world.
 We need to go to Bethlehem again and again, that we may return always to the simple, normal conditions of our spiritual, eternal life. And the babe in the manager should teach us that the poor and humble may be as near to the throne of God as the rich an d most exalted!

Walker A. McDowall, senior member of the grocery firm of McDowall & Taylor, Bethel, Conn.,, was cured of a severe Igrip cough by Linonine. Not only did this best of all medicines for colds cure his cough but it built him up and brought him better health than he had enjoyed in years.
 Mir McDowall caught a severe cold while automobiling, and it brought on a settled cough that hung on until it completely wore him out. It harassed him day and night. Remedy after remedy was tried without result until he was prevailed upon to give Linonine a chance"
 "From that day." says MT Nc Dowall, T began to mend, the cough lessened in harshness, the periods between attacks lengthen- ed, and the pains in my chest cas- ed. At the end of a few days ] was entirely cured of the cough, and all evidences of the cold had vanished, but as .Linonine was do ing me so much good l continued it's use, as a builder, for about ter or twelve days. l wish all my friends who suffer as I did woul( give Linonine . chance. ;"
