Large Number Expected

Pierre, Sept. 28.-The question of
the number of people who will reg
lister for lands on the Cheyenne Riv-
er and Standing Rock reservations
at the various registration points
next month is receiving a great deal
of discussion. The estimates run
from 100. 900. which is made by
Judge Witten, who will have charge
of the work, up to a half million, by
enthusiasts. The probabilities are
that one estimate is too low and the
other far too high. The only actual
figures on which to base an estimate
of the desire of the people for Da-
kota lands, is to be found IN the reg
istration here two years ago for
Lower Brule lands, where. with
about two hundred claims, with only
half desirable, there was a regis
tration of about 5000. On the same
basis of demand, the registration
should be obout two hundred thous-
and, and will probably run close to
that figure. The principal registra-
ton points will likely be Pierre, Alb
erdeen, and LeBeau, with Mobridge,
Lennon and Bismark each getting
a small share. Bismark is off the
line and is not expecting much. Alb
erdeen has the advantage of being
on all three roads interested in haul
ing people to the new country, and
will have an advantage for that
reason. Pierre and LeBeau on diff
ferent lines Of these same roads will
get a good share. Lennon and
Mobridge being on a line which pas
ses through Aberdeen before reach
ing these places will not likely be
crowded. Each pace wiere there

NEWS
OF THE CITY

The end of the first month finds
the enrolment of the sity schools

There are at present 81 pupils en-
rolled in the high school, AZ in the
grammar department, AZ in the
intermediate, As in the second pri-
mary and 46 in the primary.
Music will be regularly laugh in
the grades this year according to a
provision of the legislature. The
books adopted for the course have
arrived and will be furnished to the
pupils who will be responsible for
their care and return.
The high school course has been
so arranged that there is a wider
range of electives than ever before.
Besides the regular latin classical
course; a commercial course is being
offered. The work in this for the
present year, is M full years work
IN bookkeeping along practical lines
as near as it can be made so with
present facilities. While the CLASH
cal is a necessity for those contem-
plating entrance into professional
lines and while it probably cannot
be equaled as a disciplinary subject,
there seems to be a class of pupils
who always fail in this line of work.
To such as these a business course
appeals with greater force. and it is
to be- hoped that they will profit
more by this work than to plod

NEW SCHEDULE
ON w
important Change i'm Train
Schedules on Union Pacif-
iC and North Western

The new passenger schedules of
the Chicago & North Western and
Union Pacific Railroads. which will
become effective Sunday Septem-
Der 18th, will bring about quite i'm
portant changes in the passenger
train service between Chicago and
Colorado, California and North Pa
cifc Coast points.
The ~Oregon-Washington Limited,
which nov leaves Chicago at 11:30
a. M, will leave at 1000 a. m. and
reach Portland at 800 o'clock the
third morning, making direct con-
nectlons for Seattle and other Pa
cifc:Coast cities. East bound. this
train will leave Portland at 6:35
p. m. and reach Chicago at 8:35
o'clock the third evening.
The Colorado Special which now
leaves Chicago at 1000 a. m. and
reaches Denver at 2:30 p. m, will
leave Chicago at 100 p. m. and ar
rive'at Denver at 400 D.. m. the
next day, reducing by two hours the
present running time of that train.
East bound. the Colorado Special,
which now leaves Denver at 2:45 p.
m. and arrives at Chicago at 9:l5 p
m, will leave Denver at 1900 o'clock
moor and arrive Chicago at 4:30
the next afternoon. in time for con
nection with principal afternoon
trains to eastern cities.
The Overland Limited, which now
leaves Chicago at 500 p. m. and ar
rives Denver at $50 p. m. will not
leave Chicago until TOO p. m. and
will reach Denver the same time as
at present, and it will also reach San
Francisco at 1928 p. m, the same as
now, thus reducing the running time
of this tram two hours between Chi
cago and Denver and SanFrancisco.
East bound, The Overland Limited,
which now leaves SanFrancisco at
noon will leave there at l0:40 a. m.
and it will leave Denver at S:l5 a.
m. instead of 7:20 a. m. as at pres
ent, and arrive Chicago at l2:45 p.
m. In stead of Las ps m. as now.
this arrangement reducing the
present running time of this train
two hours between Denver and Chi
Cago.
1t will be noted that with thischange
of schedules, the lines above men,
toned will have two daily trains in
each direction between Chicago
and Denver on a twenty-seven and
a half hour schedule, maintaining a
schedule of seventy-two hours be-
tween Chicago and San Francisco
and Chicago and Portland in both
directions.

THIRD ANNUAL
COUNTY FAIR
One Day of Good Weather
And Entertainment.

Thursday, the last day of the
county fair was all that could be de-
sired in weather, and a fair sized
crowd enjoyed Itself with the amuse-
ments. largely furnished by a bunch
of Sioux Indians. who furnished a
ball team, tepee races, shinnev and
squaw dances. Two horse races, a
balloon ascension, an automobile
race. and two bands gave the crowd
a pleasant afternoon,
The Miller team won the ball
game over the Sioux Indians by a
score of 8 to 6. A feature of the
game was an Indian umpire, and he
did a very smooth job.
The horse race was a handicap be-
teen Thos. Tibbs, Patchen Bell, of
Highmore, Chas. Mix and Julian,
owned by DR.. Sweetland. of Miller.
Won by Patchen Bell.
A good half mile running race
was greatly enjoyed by the Indians
as their horse won over the Cranston
horse, after'a tie.
One fire balloon ascension was
made, the performer going up about
a half mile, and dropping with his
parachute.
Four Indian teams made the tepee
race of a half mile and setting up
tepee. Each wagon carried a driv-
err, his squaw, their tent and poles,
and the squws set up their tents at
the end of the race. This bunch
was the best dressed lot of Indians
that ever visited Miller. Some of
the squaws wore silk and plush
dresses.
The few people who took an inter-
est in the fair for a few DAYS, and
did a lot of work. are to be COM
mended. The rest of Us should re-
solve to do different GREATER. In
fact many persons commented upon
the general lack of interest, and
promised to do things next year.
The PRESS seldom scolds or finds
fault with the people of Hand coun-
ty but it is a fact patent to all. that
we ought to wake up and make a
grand county fair. We a " the
exhibits every year. a large county.
and a people who know how to do
such things.
1t takes a united effort Of towns
and country. Next year the exhib-
it's should pour in from every town.
ship in the county.
Our fair should be held before the
state fair, and then a grand exhibit
selected for the state fair.
The Secretary should devote his
time to the fair for sixty days, and
be paid for his work.
The rest of us should help him in
stead of lodging, and following
"Let George do it."
