DOES DEATH END cLAiM7

Homesteader Dies Before He 10 Nat
urallxed and Heir Seeks Land.
Can the administrator of an estate
prove up on q homestead started by
the deceased who never had COM
pleted his naturalization?
The ofIicial at the government land
ONCE at Rapid City thinks not, but
as it Is an entirely new question It
will be referred to the general land
once at Washington for a final de-
cision.
The question came up for the first
time at Deadwood during the probing
Of the estate OF Edward Dunno OF st.
Onge. Dunno was about to prove up
on his homestead and had made APP
plication for his final papers OF nat
uralization when death came. He was
q native Of Ireland, and. it was
thought, left no direct heirs, so the
land ONCE refused to allow the admin
lstrator to complete title to the Aand
In question.
Now, however, it is found that q
brother Of the dead man exists and
Is preparing to fight the case. He will
make an endeavor to prove up either
through the administrator or by him
self, and whatever way the case turns
out It will be unique in the land office
annals.

"At the time these thefts we're COM
mitted there was labor strike on in
the Hills" the attorney said. 1T was
a period Of animosity between capital
and labor, with numerous agitators,
politicians. publications and others
openly advocating that the profits Of .
business belonged equally to the la
borer as well as the owner. This de-
fendant had this talk dinned into him
and 1t SO affected him that he became
unable to discern the right from the
wrong doctrine. beg the court to
take this fact into consideration in the

This denunciation Of certain social

mild sensation in the court room.
Judge Rice checked it by sentencing
Hilton to sixteen months in the state

Fight the Boil WeeviI With Fire.

eight the devil with fire. is an old
saying, but prominent gentleman of this
place has sprung new one. He suggests
that as the boil weevil is playing the devil
with our chances for full cotton crops, we
should fight him with fire.
And why not? Much good and no
great harm can result from the practice of
annually burning off our fields, pastures
and woodlands. No doubt thousands of
boil weevils could be killed in this way.
Also, many ticks, their eggs and other
destructive insects would be destroyed.
IT'S true that occasionally some fencing
might be destroyed on isolated places now
uncultivated and that many young trees
here and there might be killed. However,
if day was agreed upon and every one
knew that the fire was to be started that
day, all fences could be looked after and
protected. AS to the injury to our stand
ing timber, that would be very slight. The
younger growth should be killed out once
IN while, anyway, so that older timber
can have better chance. None of it that
has attained any size would be in the least
injured. y ~ -
1--WE have been asked to bring this matter
to the, attention of oWr readers, SO that it
will be discussed gsherally, and with the
hope that finallyNa day will be agreed upon
and we'll have a general house clean !
ing'-outi doors. This week the woods
and fields are too wet to make such an
attempt practicable, but when the March
winds start in in earnest they will be
quickly dried out, and then will be the
proper lime to start the fire.
We believe this plan will meet with gen
eral favor. Already a number of planters
of\this neighborhood and several Of Caddo
Parish have expressed faith in it. Nc
doubt it will be carried out, and will result
in much good to allo us.

The Forestry Situation.
ssday, March 10, 1908.
From Forest and Stream.

If tonight, through some destructive
power in nature, every tree and shrub in
the State of New York should be swept
from the face of the State, what would be-
the condition tomorrow? 1t requires no
great stretch of the imagination to in
stantly comprehend the dire result. The
home and breeding place of every bird
would be destroyed. The home and breed
ing place of every game animal would be
destroyed. Not only the source of every
stream, but the whole stream bed would be
uncovered of it's forest growth. The
humus underneath the trees as it exists
to-day would be destroyed Every OBJ
struction and hndrance to the rapid flow
of the water as it falls from the clouds
would be swept away. In flood time there
would be raging, destructive torrents,
strewing wreckage of destroyed property.
bridges and buildings along the flats. The
water would soon recede and run away,
and the springs, rivulets, creeks and
rivers would be dry. Property throughout
the State would be decreased in value to-
morrom morning so per cent. The mead
ows and pastures would dry out next
season at the time when conditions being
properly balanced they should afford
splendid hay crops and fine pastures. The
total amount of milk, cream, butter and
cheese produced in the State would shrink
so per cent. In fact, the injury would be
so great to the State that the people of
this splendid Commonwealth would be
appalled,, and all because of the destruc-
ton of the woodlands of the State.
i Can it be said that this is too vivid a
picture of that which would follow? Is ii
not true, and would it not as surely hap
pen, as it is that, by the revolution of the
| earth, if it is a clear day we will see the
sun morrow? And yet this very thing
is more than gradually transpiring every
day.
