Much Building Going on In Anticipa.
ton of Spring Rush-Another Arte.
sian Well.
Never since her early days has
Presho showed as great a building
boom as is going on at the present
time. Carpenters are in great de-
mand, and there is work here for
many more. 1t was supposed that the
boom would not commence until
spring, but as the winter so far here
has been practically open, and as
lots are selling rapidly in the new
addition, people are putting up resi-.
dences and business houses prepare
tory for the spring rush by Eastern
people for the Trip county decided
lands surrounding Presho.
It is generally known that the Mil
waukee road is preparing to run a
line from here to the state capital.
The North Western has also run
stakes from the South through here
to Pierre. Three cars Of surveyors
have been working in the railroad
yards and although nothing definite
can be ascertained, it looks very
much like they mean business.
At the present time a cement
block creamery and two immense ice
houses are being erected on the
tracks. w. E. Sweeney will COM
mence the erection of a grist mill as
soon as possible, as the machinery for
the same is already here.
Dozens of residences are going up
in the new addition and living rooms
are at a premium. 1t is almost i'm
possible to secure an empty business
building, and at the present time
Presho has three almost solid blocks
of business houses with many side
streets filled.
Presho's third artesian we'll is be-
ing drilled at the present time, and
it is believed that natural gas will be
obtained from this we'll in the same
manner as that at Pierre. This will
mean considerable to the people of
Presho. Contractors are at work
filing in the streets to grade, and
steel culverts have been installed at
all cross streets.
Many improvements are being
made in business houses. Dirks &
Griffith have enlarged and put in a
handsome front in their clothing
store. Half of the w. S. McLain
building has been enlarged and shelly
ed and put into racket store. H. A.
Boyd is making extensive improve
ments in the Presho Ice Cream parlor.
lhe Anderson Lumber company have
doubled the capacity of their lum-
Der yard and erected a handsome Of
ice building. Sheldon Bros are erect
ing an immense stock barn on the
lake front, and many other improve
ments are in contemplation and de-
layed only by the lack Of carpenters.

President Roosevelt has signed an
executive order providing for the dis
continuance of the federal land Office
at Mitchell, S. D., and ordering the
same removed to Gregory, S. D. With

ferred to the Chamberlain district,
while those west of the Missouri and
south of White river in Gregory
county and including Trip county,
lain district, are placed within the
Gregory district. Trip county, a
part Of the Old Rosebud Indian
reservation is to be opened to entry
next spring, the registration and
drawing having been held last fall.
Under the original plans the date for
the making of entries under the regis
tration and drawing had during the
past fall for lands in Trip county
was set for March J., but owing to I'M
certainty of the weather conditions at
this time of the year, the depart
ment has decided to postpone the

DRUGGISTS LINE UP FOR FIGHT.
No Chance for Compromise With
Wheaton on the Pure Drug Bill.

No Chance for a Compromise With
Wheaton on the Pure Drug Bill.
Probably the biggest fight of the
present session of the legislature will
be between the druggists of South
Dakota and A. H. Wheaton, dairy and
food commissioner. There is absolute
ly no chance for any compromise,
both sides declaring they will stand
fast
The state supreme court having de-
clared unconstitutional the pure drug
act passed two years ago, on account
of a confusion in verbiage, it is recog-
nized that a new act must be passed
at this time.
The measure championed by the
druggists is known as house bill No.
2, introduced by Representative Sasse,
president of their state association.
1t is copy Of the national drug act,
now in force in thirty states. with a
single change, placing the enforce
ment in the hands of the state board
of pharmacy, as was done in Iowa
The bill supported by Commissioner
Wheaton is known as house bill No.
SO, and was introduced by Representa-
tive Simonson of Brookings. It re-
quires the label of all proprietary
medicines to give the common name
of each and every ingredient, or if it
is not desired to publish this state
ment, to submit the preparation to
examination by a referee board con-
sisting of the president of the state
board of health, the president of the
state board of pharmacy and the state
chemist.
Under the druggists, bill, as in the
national law, it is provided simply
that all drugs shall be of standard
purity and that any intoxicant or
habit-forming drug must be given on
the label.

Peculiar Charge Is Laid at the Door

Charged with coercing his child
wife to commit the crime of forgery
and dividing the proceeds with a
chum, and later deserving his wife,
Charles H. Helvey has been brought to
Belle Fourche and, with William Nc
Chaddo, arraigned for the crime ac
tually committed by Mrs. Helvey. The
girl instead of being prosecuted, has
been presented with purse by
friends at Pukwana, S. D.
Helvey and his wife, whom he had
but recently married, worked at the
misunderstanding company

Fourche. When they quit work sthey
were paid off with check for $500

practice writing the signature. Then
it is declared, he caused her to at
tach it to a check for $125.50, pay
able to Tom Jones. This, with the
original check, he is said to have
cashed, in company with McChaddo.

TO REFoREsT MAINE.
A Man Who Plants Thousands Of

A Man Who Plants Thousands of
Trees Offers Prizes to Others.
A plan for the reforestation of the
State of Maine has been submitted to
the governor by B. G. Jordon Of AL
fred. Mr. Jordon offers to give the
state $1,000 on condition that once in
eighteen years five prizes shall be
awarded for the five best lots of young
forest growth.
These lots are to consist of not less
than ten acres, accurately surveyed
and plotted, the majority Of the trees
to be not less than ten nor more than
thirty feet high, and not less than ten
nor more than thirty years old when
the prizes are awarded. The varieties
of trees to be grown are specified and
cover a long list from white pine to
elm.
Mr.. Jordon believes that the incen-
tive afforded by such prizes would do
much to bring about better forestry
conditions. Maine has many thou
sands of acres of waste land, now al
most worthless, but naturally we'll
adapted to timber growth, and which
by small expense for care and for
est cultivation could be made easily
worth in fifty years 500 an acre,
In this way the state, instead Of be-
ing of the poorest in the Union might
be made one of the richest. Fifty
years is a large part of one persons
life, but very small part Of the life
Of state. Mr.. Jordon himself set
out from ten to fifteen thousand trees
last summer, and states that he hopes
to set out many thousands every year

LAND OFFICE DECISION.

The Gilbert-Satrang Case Is Bringing
Numerous Inquiries From Those In
terested
the United States land Office with
reference to the case of Gilbert Sat
rang Of Canton, there has been con-
siderable worry on the part of others
who have been expecting patents
from the land Office, and they were
somewhat embarrassed as to what
would be the attitude of the govern
ment land Office. United States Com
missioner McLain of Presho, has had
some correspondence with the land
office concerning the Satrang deci-
sion and asked the question: "If
patents now will be withheld pending
Investigations by special agents of the
land Office" Fred Dennet, commits
sioner, made the following reply:
"You are advised that unless there is
a protest, or contest or other obpec-
tons to an entryman's proof, patent
will not be withheld, but will issue in
due course of the business of this
Office" Concerning a further ques-
ton: "If a real estate mortgage upon
the land, where the patent has not
been issued and which has passed
only to final certificate, may be con-
sidered as safe security for the debt
represented by It," the commissioner
) makes reply to the effect that until
patent issues, mortgage or trans
fierce can acquire no greater interest
in the land than the entryman him
self has, and a mortgage will be sub
ject to all the equities that the entry
mans interest in the land is subject
to. The cancellation of the entry
would wipe out the security of the
mmortgage."

His contention is that the large

ing to show the mill which manu-
featured it, and the millers want this
