STATE LAND IN DEMAND.
Farmers Pay Fancy Prices for Tracts
Offered BY Commission.

That South Dakota lands are grow
ing in value Is To be shown by the
change in prices of state lands sold
this year, when compared with former
years. The report of Retiring Com
missioner Bach in 1906, recommended
that the minimum selling price of
state school lands be increased from
SO an acre to $40, and gave the aver.
age selling price Of $26.S5 an acre
from 1903 to 1906 as evidence to sus-
tain his position. The sales this year
more than bear u that contention, as
the average selling price was 1896 on
the 1850 acres sold, the average hav-
ing risen from $13.56 up to 1894. II
the remaining public school lands of
the state were disposed of at $40 an
acre, which is lower than the average
for this year, the total fund would be
over $3.50, OOO. 900:
Sales were made this year in the
counties of Bon Homme. at $45 an
acre; Brown with SOS as high and $40
as low, an average of $47.23; Dawson
at S4S to $40, with an average Of
Sal %; Hamilton at from $55 TO $35,
with an average of S42.4S; Hanson at
from S45 to $3.50, with an average Of
$39.59; Hutchinson at from $50 to $40,
..,s.h ON nr 81 ef4 lc. Ks,,,
at from SAP to $35, with an average of
s36; Lake at from $50 to $3.50, with
an average of $46.50; Miner at from
$50 to $35. with an average of $42.25;
Turner at from $50 to S35, with an av-
erage Of $41.S5. The total amount dis
posed OF being 1850 acres at a total of
$341 ,65S, a general average of S43.66
an acre. On this the state received
$10,993 interest in advance which goes
into the fund for distribution to the
schools in June.
For the same sale on endowment
lands they scld in Edmunds at from
81 TO SIS, with an average of s12.S1;
Mcpherson al from $17 to $40, with an
average OF $13.54; Marshall at from
$23 to SIS, with an average of $19.52.
The total noun sold was 1852 acres
at a total of S5S,6S9, and an average
Of SASS an acre. On this advance in
terest to the amount of 1855 was
paid, which will be distributed to the
various institutions to which it be-
longs at the end OF the present month.
AS these lands were all purchased
by farmers living rear the lands sold,
and there is no speculative price in
the deals, 1t is evidence that those
who know the lands have faith in
them and are willing TO show their
faith by investing.

Cattle Herd Is Stolen.

Cattle thieves took from the Michael
Myers ranch. in Sanborn county, on
ApriY 20, a herd of twenty-six white
faced ~two-year-old steers, dehorned
and branded with square on right hip.
The mysterious disappearance Of the
cattle is a puzzler to the authorities of
Sanborn county, who with Sheriff s.
A. Wise of Woonsocket are endeavor-
Ing to o the cattle and appre-
bend the thieves. II is thought that
experienced cattle rustlers are inter-
ested, and that the stock was driven
TO some railway station. and with 9TH
sr cattle shipped 10 the Eastern mar
Ret. Although diligent search has
been made since the discovery OF the
theft, no trace OF the cattle has been
found. Sheriffs in neighboring coun-
ties have become interested in the
search and success may soon reward
their efforts. A reward of 5000 is Of
fered, 800 for the discovery of the
whereabouts of the cattle and another
800 for the apprehension Of the
thieves.

Is Considered One of the Finest In
South Dakota-65 Fine Bred Cattle.
Visitors to the state hospital for
the insane at Yankton declare that
there is conducted In connection with
the asylum what is one of the finest
dairy farms In South Dakota. This
department of the institution has six
ty-five head Of the finest bred cattle
In the country. The COW barn is a
very large building. and is constructed
of cement, and has a cement floor
throughout the whole building. The
building is divided off into stalls, each
Of which has a number.
Each animal is also numbered n
has it's W particular stall, which 1t
invariably occupies while in the barn.
Every convenience is provided, and
everything is arranged Systematically.
At the present time about fifty OF the
COWS are being MIXED daily, and this
work is done by the inmates OF the
state hospital for the insane.

graduate of an agricultural college in
Norway. Needless to say, he is an
expert buttermaker, and no better but
ter is turned out anywhere in South
Dakota than from the dairy depart

| partment provides butter for the in

The dairy department was estab-
lished only recently, and few people
N the state who have not visited the
asylum within the past few weeks are
aware that such a department is be.

institution. The excellent manner in
which the new department Is being

Dr.. L. c. Mead, superintendent of the
asylum, who is understood to lave

dairy department, and thus save the
taxpayers of the state a considerable
sum each year.

WORK FLOODS LAND OFFICE.
Federal Force Is Unable to Keep Up
With Rush of Correspondence.

Land business at Rapid City shows
no lull. and the rush for homes in
this part of the state is unprecedented.
So great has the volume Of daily new
business become that even with the
additional new office help furnished
by the government TO the United
States land Office there, the office has
been unable 10 keep up its regular cor
respondence, and has been forced to
notify patrons through the papers that
until more help is secured, correspond
ence will be answered only when it's
turn comes, which is usually three
weeks after receipt. During the month
of April one-quarter Of a million acres
of land were taken up, and the total
number of entries was 1887. OF this
amount 1,226 were original entries.
Desert land entries and commuted
homesteads also run up the figures.

BIG TRACT FOR SETTLERS.
Only a Triangle Of Reservation Lett
for indians.

for Indians.
While the bill opening a large part
of the Cheyenne River and Standing
Rock reservations practically takes
all the western half of these reserves,
il leaves TO the Indians the Cherry
Greek country. in the shape of a tri.
angle in the southwest part of the re-
serve, the strip being about thirty
miles long, and fifteen miles wide at
the widest place.
This part Of the reserve was the
last stand of the old guard of the
Sioux who stood out as long as posi-,
be against the ways of the white man.
and was the gathering place of the
war party who under command Of
Hump, started on their raid which
ended at Wounded Knee in the winter
of 1890. This chief, a fine looking In
dian, has taken his allotment on Cher
ny creek, and is now just as much OF
a leader of his people in the new ways
as he was twenty years ago in the old
ways.
Beside this strip of the reserve, the
Cheyenne River reservation will be
left only as a tract a little over thirty
miles square In the southeast corner
OF h eserve. The Standing Rock
reservation will be cut down about
half, all On the west side except a
strip six miles wide along the south
line. and fully two-thirds of the two
reserves are included in the territory
proposed TO be opened.
The country to be taken Is roughly
shaped a T, with the stem extending
to the Missouri river near LIE Beau,
the stem being eighteen miles In width
and over thirty miles long. The ter
ritory covered by the bill takes all OF
Schanesse county: about half OF Dew
ey; about a third of Armstrong: a
part OF Foreman. all in South Dakota:
and a good sized tract In Southern
Merton county in North Dakota. II in
cludes portions of the valleys of the
Cannon Ball river on the north. and
the Morean and Grand rivers through
the central part OF the tract, and will
open some fire territory to settlement
when 1t is finally opened sometime
within the next two years.

REGULARS AT CAMP ROOSEVELT.

Sixteenth infantry Detail Occupies
kampeska Grounds.
Tenting on the old camp ground at
Lake Kampeska, the first detail of the
sixteenth United States infantry last
week began the military occupation
OF the east side of the lake which will
continue for the next ten weeks. The
first battalion of this regiment arrived
with all accouterments on May 16
from Fort Creek, Neb. AS soon as the
regiment gets down to regular routine
work, Gen. Englesby. commanding the
South Dakota national guard, will call
a meeting of all the guard officers to
study the routine and methods of the
regular army and receive instruc-
tons at the camp.
About July IL the Fourth infantry,
S. D. y. G., will go into. camp at Lake
Kampeska for a ten days tour, and
some time the following month will
he taken to Fort Riley, Kan, for the
annual summer with the
regulars and militia regiments of the
upper Mississippi valley. All indica-
tons seem to point to this being the
last visit OF the South Dakota regi-
ment away from here at the govern.
ment's expense, for it is thought in
military circles that by another sum
mer Camp Roosevelt, on the bank OF
Lake Kampeska, will be designated by
the war college at Washington as a
national concentration camp, and the
regulars and militia from the North
Mississippi valley states will be
brought here for the summer maneu-
vers provided for by the army appro'
priation bill which just passed con-
gress.
Capt. M. ]. Lenihan of the general
staff. on duty at Washington, is in
Watertown now TO inspect the camp
grounds and rife range and report to
Washington it availability for the
concentration of large bodies OF
troops. 1t is understood that his re
port will be highly favorable to the
project. The war department has In
vested $4,000 in the site, in addition
to the appropriations expended by
South Dakota in making the state

WOLF BOUNTY FUND SHY.
South Dakota May Only Pay 70 Cents
on the Dollar This Year.

The last legislative session increas-
ed the wolf bounty appropriation from
10000 to $4,000 in a hope that such
an appropriation would assure the
payment of claims on that bounty to
100 cents on the dollar, the law pro-
viding that the appropriation shall be
divided pro rata among all claimants
for bounty, which shall be payment in
full for their claims. With a $4,000
appropriation last yea the claims
filed up to the middle of May amount
ed to $6,502, and had reached an
amount before the close of the fiscal
year, Aug. 1, which allowed the pay
ment of 20 cents on the dollar. With
the increased appropriation. up the
present date claims have been filed
amounting to 1854. or more than ST.
600 In excess of the claims the same
date last year. The claims allowed at
the July meeting of county boards
have always been heavy in past years.
and will probably be so this year
again. At the same ratio of claims
coming in from those meetings as for
past years the aggregate will be above
the total appropriation, and the
amount for distribution will probably
bring the total down 10 20 cents again
