noticed that the light had been extin-
guished, and greatly frightened she
screamed for her father. The latter
heard her cries and promptly respond

LESSON OF THRIFT;
SECURING LAND

Pierre, s. d, Sept. 1.-Colonel j. y.
Deets, special allotting agent for the
indian department. is here arranging
to move his family to Pierre. During
the past year Colonel Deets made the
allottments on the Grow Greek and
Lower Brule reservations and as soon
as he completed thai work he was
ordered to the Cheyenne reservation.
He made $50 allotmentS on the Grow
creek and 270 on the Lower Brule. This
covered practically all the good land
on both reservations. His work on the
Cheyenne will be much greater as there
are 1000 applications on file for allot-
ments. Colonel Deets says that the re-
will be opened to settlement the latter
part Of next year and that there will
be a tract equal to IS civil townships
or 1,2S0,000 acres. The Indians are
rapidly getting onto the ways Of the
white man in the selection OF ands.
Formerly, many of them would select
their allotments in what are called the
breaks along the streams, but now
they are making their selections from
among the best and most productive
tracts, SO that the land will bring top
prices on the market. Many who took
LAND a few years 6 among the breaks
are now changing, as they see there
is more money in it. AS an illustration
of how much there is in it for some
of the Indian families, Colonel Deets
stated that he recently allotted to Iron
Lightning and his three wives and six

ton which as 500 as the reservation
is opened to settlement will readily sell
