After that Peterson, who was the

Crawford about the fence, and we
have every reason to believe
Crawford regarded his neighbor

In the end the fence was rebuilt,
so that the Peterson claim was

This little drama of the cattle
ranch has something familiar
about it. Those irregular quarters
with the isolated tracts and the
big cattle pasture fence, all seem
to recall something. What is it?

Cement In Stanley County

4 movement of great consc-
puence is on foot to develop the
cement industry in this county.
The palco of operations is 1T
Interior. where within the past
week the first steps were taken in
arrangements that may lead to the
erection Of permanent plant.
Interior is located in the l.eart
of the Bad Lands and in the heart
of one of the finest cement deposits
in this country. Samples 81 tie
mari, shalc, and limestone were
long ago sent away to the chcmi-
cal laboratories Of several Of the
great cement concerns OF the
country, and the analysis has
shown that the deposit in the Bad
Lands is Of superior quality.
Chemists and gcologists say that
the ingredients necessary to the
successful manufacture of cement
arc all found there in great guam
titles.
Eastern capitalists are interested
in the Interior field. and if plant
can be put in and operated at
figure that Will permit competition
with other plants, the project will
likely be we'll under way before
the snow flies.
Several years ago there was a
movement started TO put in a
cement factory at Fort Pierre.
Investigation, however, showed
that, although the Missouri river
shale was very suitable for the
manufacture of this product, it
was not possible to obtain the
necessary limestone. The same
difficulty was encountered last
year at Rapid City. Considering
the fact that the Bad Lands are
full of limestone deposits, it is not
likely that any trouble will be en-
countcred because of scarcity of
that material.
The cement factory established
several years ago at Yankton has
been very successful, and has al
ways turned out a product Of high
quality. There seems no good
reason why the cement industry
should not flourish in the south
west corncr of Old Stanley.

Crop Prospects

Whatever fortune the weather
later in the season may bring to
us, the prospects for good crops
are at present certainly very
promising. During the dry
weather last month most of the
farmers succeeded in getting their
crops planted, although there is
still considerable corn to be put in
the ground. The rains of the past
two weeks have been all that could
be asked. Small grain crops are
coming up in fine shape, and a
little warm weather during the
next few weeks will make every
thing flourish.
The outlook has never been
more encouraging than at present.
Last year we had plenty of rain in
this locality, but the season was SO
late that many of the homestead
ers did not finish planting until
we'll into the summer. This year
crops will have a full month
longer in which to mature, if they
are not held back by continued
wet weather or nipped by an early
frost.
1t is enough to make one begin
smacking his lips already in
anticipation of the garden truck
and green things that will soon be
in evidence to satisfy the appetite
of a hungry man. The farm pro-
duce that we will have on exhibi-
tion at the Harvest Festival this
fall will be enough to make 'em
sit up and take noticc-twice.

Will They Fool The Voters?

The insurgents have been quick
to indorsc the present county ad-
ministration. They assure the
voters that county affairs have
been handled both wisely and
economically. They fondle the
county dads tenderly and give
them a loving pat of approval.
Up in the west end there are q
few of us who believe that county
affairs could be administered more
successfully than they have been
during the past few years. The
administration has built a good
court house, and has done a lot of
things for the east end, but if any,
thing has been done for this locali-
ty or the country north of here,
our attention has not been called
to the fact. Evidences of good
county government are not very
noticeable out here.
We know of several townships
that have been petitioning for
civil organization, until the in
habitants have grown weary with
much petitioning. It has been
suggested that the establishment
of new civil townships might mean
new voting precincts, and this, in
turn, might cost the insurgents
their control Of affairs. It is 20
easy to reject petition for an
organized township. and new vot-
ing precincts might be bit un-
ruly.
School districts have not been
organized in instances where the
demand for schools was great.
Petitions asking for most worthy
local projects have gone into the
waste basket. A deaf ear has been
turned to all appeals for aid in i'm
proving roads and bridges, and
the commissioners have refused to
sanction local organizations that
would enable the people to get
what they needed themselves.
The insurgents adopt platform,
and in it indorse this condition of
affairs. Will the people indorse
it with their ballots a week from
next Tuesday? The, little bird
on Nellie's hat has whispered that
they won't. The people have had
enough and more of the insurgent
county administration.

Look at This Plat

We ask our readers in all seri-
BUSINESS to make a careful exam
nation of this plat. Did you ever
see anything like it before: There
are five irregular filings there:
those Of Crawford, Lampc, Blount,
Valentine and Thompson. Not
one of these men ever resided upon
these claims two days altogether.
Yet Crawford had it all fenced.
He says in explanation of his
fraud:
I filed a homestead claim upon
quarter section of land in Wal
worth county in 1901. 1t was
situaded near some land which |
owned. 1t was rough tract
of pasture land, but at the time l
made the filing l intended in good
faith, to make settlement upon
and improve it, and one day
a couple of years afterwards l cal
led the attention of a single man,
named Blount, who was clerk in
the Office of Crawford & Taylor
at Huron, to these tracts, sugges-
ting that he and some of his ac-
quaintances who were single men
might like to make settlement
and proof upon them. told
Mr.. Blount that would assist him
and the other young men tinanci-
ally" Further on in the
same explanation he adds: Il
never expected to get my money
back in any form save and except
in the general advantage of hay-
ing them become owners of this
land rather than more objection
able people"
At the time Crawford made his
filing he was practicing law in the
city of Huron and was the attor-
ney of the Chicago Northwestern
railroad for this state. Yet this
man who was receiving So, 500
from the Northwestern railroad
and as much more from his gener-
al practice besides says: 1T was
a rough tract of pasture land, -
and in the same sentence adds:
but at the time / made the filing,
l intended, in good faith, to make
settlement upon and improve it. "
In q word, he intended to abandon
his practice in order to reside up
on and improve that rough pasture
land. However, the government
cancelled the entry for fraud.
The facts about this business
are that Crawford had been rang.
