CHEYENNE AGENCY

Pierre. S. D.. Oct 22.-Alloting Agent
Deets, in charge on the Cheyenne river
agency. reports his force at work along
the Moreau river. The work is pro-
cceding in satisfactory manner.
While the older Indians are making
their selections along the stream where
wood and water are easy to get, the
younger and more progressive Indians
are taking their selections on what
they believe to be the best farming
lands on the reserve. their theory be-
ing that their land will be far more wall
liable in later years than that along
the banks of the streams
The reservation generally is reported
to be good upland prairie, with little
gumbo except along Moreau river, and
as the tract to be opened is prac-
tically three times the size of Tripp
county, the northern part Of the state
will see big land rush next fall.

2Srd inst, as general cleanup day in Springdale, and it IS to be hoped that every resident of Springdale read the notice and will heed 1t. Nature never did
 more for any town than she did
 for Springdale, and with little effort on the part of the people
 we can have one of the most beautiful towns to be found any
 where. The idea of appointing day for general clean-up was.
 We believe. originated at Dallas, Texas, since which it has spread to all parts of the country, from the largest cities to the smallest villages. Of course it is not necessary to wait until next Tues day to clean up and cut the grass and weeds if you desire to do 1t sooner, but it is thought that by having a day set for the work more people can be interested and more good accomplished. In nu- merous towns prizes are offered for the best kept lawns, etc, and something of this kind in Spring dale might stimulate the people to take more pride in beautifying their homes and surroundings.
