To Rush Allotment Work.


According to reports received here
from Tripp county, now included in the
Rosebud Indian reservation, arrange
ments are rapidly being completed for
opening to white settlement from 600, s.
0000 to 100000 acres Of land sit,1a ted
within the boundaries of the county.
The -.sxact time that the land will be
thrown open to settlement depends up
on the time government alloting crews
complete the work of allotting land to
Indians within the borders of the coun-
ty. That the officials of the Indian
bureau at Washington are doing every
thing possible to hasten the work Of
allotting is indicated by the fact that
John H. Scriven, special allotting agent
in charge Of the allotment work on that
part Of the reservation, has received
instructions to Immediately place an
other allotting crew in the field so the
work of allotting the remaining Indians
may be completed at the earliest posi-
BILE date.

Storm Damage is Heavy.

The seyere storm which swept over
the extreme eastern portion OF the
state on June Il, caused much damage
in the vicinity of Castlewood. Nearly
2 inches of rain fell in the space of
about half an hour. La town the
streets we're running rivers, cellars were
filled and window glass demolished.
The storm was from six to eight miles
wide and about sixty miles long. All
early grain was entirely destroyed and
thousands Of acres will not be harvest
ed. Since the storm farmers are com
ing into town and countermanding
their orders for binding twine and har-
vesting machinery. 1t is thought the
grain that was not too far advanced
will recover t. 4 certain extent and
MAY make a fair crop.

millions OF dollars and when all Of the
state lands are sold and there should
be no hurry about selling these lands -
will amount in the aggregate to about
forty millions of dollars. The amount

ment. There is no hurry about selling
these lands, When the minimum price
was originally put at $40 per acre, some
said it was too high. Some Of these
lands have since sold for $50 an acre.

Of his most finished creations, "Baron

there is presented a study in characters
that are lovable and altogether human,
The charm of the play lies in its ever

beautiful unfolding of the story. The
comedy is of that high order one finds
in the classics. There is an absence of
coarseness and grossness. Mr. Clements

Substitutes For Pulp Work.

The American nation has the reputa
tion OF wasting almost as much of its
resources as it uses. Facts are often
advanced to show that there is much
truth in such statement.
a practical paper-maker recently
called attention to few of the sources
of enormous waste when speaking of
the number of materials in Americas
refuse heap which are worth pulp.
The Northwest annually produces a
million and a half tons of flax stalks
which are not now used for anything
That amount of waste remains after
the twine makers take all they want. 1t
makes excellent paper
The farmers in the South burn or
plow under Is million tons of cotton
stalks every year, That which is plow :
ed under is not wholly lost for it en-.
riches the soil to some extent, but not
so with what goes up i'll smoke.
Five hundred thousand tons of fiber
have been adhering to cotton seed
every year. 1t has beed fed to farm
stock along with the seed and has done
the stock no good. Cattle and sheep do
not like the fiber and the seed cake is
better without it, A machine has been
invented, which, it is claimed, will
separate the lint from the seed. Paper
makers think they can use it,
Nobody knows how many million
tons of cornstalks go to waste; but ii
quality they are far ahead of cottol
stalk, and it is believed they can bs
made into paper, although it has no
yet been done on a commercial scale.
Thousands of acres of wild heml
grow in the south western part of tn,
country, particularly along the Colorado
River. Its only use now is to shelte
Jack rabbits and coyotes, but it ha
splendid fiber and tests on small seal
show that excellent paper can be made
from it.

wheat fields would bring fortunes i

| Lists OF fibrous or woody plants suit
able for paper are almost without limit
but only a few may be had in quantit
sufficiently large to be worth consider
ing.
The time has not yet come when it /

for pulp wood be found, but it is com

nish materials for paper, but they can
not continue to do SO for a great man

anticipate scarcity Of pulp wood an
it is this which prompts the activ

A Change Has Taken Place

The public school system. which
covers the country from ocean to
ocean, had its beginning little more
than seventy-iiye years ago. 1t may
seem strange to those of US who have
grown accustomed to public schools to
read the statement that the first man
who had the nerve to publicly addres 8
an audience in favor of public school
system was arrested and thrown in
Jail. That, however, was the fate of
all those heroes Of the past who dared
stand for progress. Familiar as we
are with history, we are little wiser
than our grand-fathers.-Appeal to
Reason.

Local .papers from Lyman county are
showing up several days late all telling
of swollen streams and railway and
mail connections cut off in that county.
One of the costly features of the floods
comes from the loss of dams on which
many Of the settlers depend for their
water supply, The going out of these
dams also added to the flood waters in
the streams increasing the damage from
that cause. The replacing of the dams
lost will be heavy expense on many
of the settlers of that county.

The coming national election is one
of more national Importance than is
thought possible by the casual observer
The people of the United States will
not only elect new president and vice
president, but thirty U. S. senators out
of the ninty-siS which compose the
upper house, while a full membership
will beelocted for the house of repre-
sentatives. A change of party in the
presidential election would no doubt
mean an entire change in the cabinet
and Therefore the approaching election
this fall takes on added Significance
and party lines will no doubt be closely
drawn.
