The record of the homestead move

While this Is the movement at

The Commercial Bank of Shame
has published a report in which it
says that its losses through the swim

Liedholm was ~apprehended at Buenos
Ayres when trying to exchange Swed-
ish money. The officers found some
5000 crowns on his person and a re-
turn ticket to Sweden. He confessed
lis crime at once. The government Of
Argentine has expressed its willing
ness TO deliver him to Swedish Off
GERS on certain conditions, and it is
quite certain he will soon be back in
his native country to answer the
charges against him.
1t IS believed that a large number
of SWedish-Americans will return to
their native country next summer
Many have already ordered tickets
for transportation across the Atlantic.
and ever so many inquiries as to the
price of small farms, worth from 10.-
GOO TO 10000 crowns. have been re-
Cejved by the bureau in charge of the
work of ~persuading Swedish emf
grants to come home. The efforts Of
this bureau, about which | wrote sew
eral times last summer, seem to be
bearing fruit. AS will be remembered.
King Oscar. at the request of this bu-
reau. sent a touching appeal to his
former subjects in the United States
to return to "Moder Svea' and help
promote her prosperity.
The 250th anniversary of the Peace
of Roskilde was duly celebrated
throughout Sweden last month. Flags
were unfurled, memorial services were
held in the churches. there were
grand Examinations II general feS-
tivity. In Stockholm the exercises
were especially notable and pompous.
They began early in the morning.
with services in the churches and the
general ringing of bells. At 10 o'clock
solemn services were held in the Rid
darholm church, whittier the remains
of King Carl X. had been removed
and where the royal family had been
assembled. The interior Of the edifice
had been decorated with shields, and
the names Of the battles in which
King Carl X. led his people to victory
were read to the great gathering.
King Gustaf placed a large laurel
wreath on the renowned monarch's
casket, and another wreath, sent down
from the riksdag, was placed by its
side.
At noon a large company proceeded
to the Northern museum. before
which stands a splendid statue of Carl
X. In this company were the mem
bers Of the cabinet, the riksdag. city
council of Stockholm. troops from the
Stockholm garrison and many other
notables. The king delivered a brief
patriotic address.
In the evening there were patriotic
concerts throughout the city and
grand Examinations.

SEAT IS $50 MILES AWAY.
Lennon Resident Must Go Five
Times as Far by Rail.

While it is known that Butte Is
the largest county in the state, how
many people realize just what that
means? Practically ninety miles east
and west and the same north and
south on its west line. AS large as
all that part Of the state bounded by
a line drawn from the northwest cor
ner Of Sanborn county to the state
line east and south.
The residents of Lennon, in the
northeast part Of the county, when
he has business to transact at Belle
Fourche, the county seat, has the al
tentative of a drive of $50 miles
across country, or a trip Of about 700
miles by way of Aberdeen, Huron and
Pierre, either Of which will take him
about the same length Of time. Of
course, before this immense county
becomes as thickly populated as the
southeastern part of the state it will
be cut into smaller counties. but
with a less dense population it would
contain as many people as now COM
prise one-fourth Of the population of
the state.
The lands in this county reserved
for public school, state building and
endowment lands, with forest reserve
lands amount to, in round numbers,
100000 acres. or enough to make a
county larger han several Of the
counties in the eastern part of the
state. OF this 100000 acres are com
mon school, 10000 acres public build
ing and endowment, and 10000 acres
forest reserve. Were these all grouped
together instead of being scattered
over the county, they would make
a good county of their own.

TRADE WHOLE TOWN WITH ROAD
Former Largest Primary Cattle Mar
ket Of World Must Go.

The passing Of Evarts, for years re-
garded as the largest primary cattle
market in the world, Is drawing near.
n a few days the residents of that
own. at a special election, will decide
whether they shall abandon their
ome and accept a proposition from
the railroad which has caused the
present condition OF affairs. 1t will
cequire a two-thirds vote, but it is gen
forthcoming.
! When the Milwaukee railroad decid-
al to build its Pacific coast extension
it became necessary to secure a site
for a bridge across the Missouri river
II South Dakota. The soil at Evarts
was not suitable and the engineers
had to seek elsewhere. They finally
decided upon Mobridge, where the
ridge was built, and the main line of
the Milwaukee was extended from
tlenham to that town, cutting Off EX-
arts completely. Then began ar Exc
Gus from EVarts. Several buildings
| were moved bodily to other towns, but
thtiS dlt sun many ItSidSHlS VIII lC-
| NAMED loyal. Under the law a rail
road CannO abandon a track unless
the residents of the town affected. by
a two-thirds vote. authorizes such ac-
ton. The Milwaukee built its track
to Evarts and in the course of time
the town grew to some proportions.
Although on the frontier, it thrived
and became a great trading station.
AS the terminus of the Milwaukee it
became a cattle market for the vast
| ranges west. of the Missouri and soon
It leaped to the front as the greatest
Of al primary markets.
The Milwaukee railroad. in order to
abandon the track to Evarts. must Sc
cure the consent Of the residents of
hat town to abandon their homes, and
il has offered to give every property
owner lot for lot as they are now stu
&ted, in any other town on the Mil
| waukee extension east Of MObridge or
west of Bowman. n. D., excepting only
lWo towns in Montana. In addition
the railroad agrees to pay the indebt-
odness of the town and its pro rata in

TIC OPEN TRACT TO lie BEAU.

Ieadjno to Town,

The protest raised by the people OF
lie Beau and Aberdeen against the
Gamble bill, which proposed the open
ny Of SchnasSe county, on the ChcY,
snne and Standing Rock Indian rescr
cations. has brought about d comprO,
Mise through a council with the In.

The Cheyennes have agreed to re
ease that part of their reservation
included in Schnasse county. about
twenty townships in the northwest
cOrner of their reserve, and a strip
twelve miles wide ax)ng the north
inc, bringing the open tract down to
lie Beau. They will keep the FoX
Ridge and Cherry Creek portions OF
heir ser including the south half
IF Dewey, and all of Armstrong coun'
les. This will lallow the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road ending at lie Beau
o extend it's line through open coun-
ny to the west, and the tract which
he Standing Rock Indians are willing
% let go will give the Milwaukee road
also an open way across the country
where they now run through Indian
observation.
It will take probably two years to
get these tracts opened.

New Law s Extravaqant.

The last Legislative session passed a
printing bill which in one OF it's pro
visions required all state officers and
boards to secure their printing by com
petitive bids. At the meeting of the
state printing commissioners last
week they decided after six months
trial OF the new law that in many
cases the advertisements for bids on
small Jobs Of work cost as much as did
the work itself, and that the plan was
too expensive. They decided to cut
it out" as unsatisfactory and expen-
sive. The advertisements for the
printing Of reports and other state
printing, outside Of stationery and
small jobs, Is being SEM out, and the
bids will be opened on June 25.

The efforts of the Mitchell Com

operative April 10. It affects ship
ments on butter, eggs, egg case filters,
furniture, liquors of all kinds. limo
!eum, paint. paper, dressed poultry,
seeds, vinegar in car load lots. The
value to be derived from these tariffs
is not SO much the apparent reuction
from the rates now in effect, but
rather because Of the prestige gained
by being claSsed as a jObbing point,
and this will eliminate the system of
raCOnsigning freight from some more
favorable point in the state and
hence to Mitchell. On the same date
L new distributing tariff will go into
effect on the Milwaukee system as it
refers to Mitchell territory, covering
points south to Platte, east to Marion
Junction. north to Aberdeen and west

terprises have been unable to start
