Pierre, S. D, Nov. 29.-Down in Clay
county the farmers evidently expect to
combine their drainage projects ana !
good roads movement In the same gen
eral plan. A large drainage ditch has
been dug through that county, and nett
lions are coming to the office Of the,
state engineer, asking that lateral
bitches be located along the pubic
highway. This plan would give a road
way above h general level, and well
drained by the ditch along the sida ~
the highway, n this would naturally
tend to keep the roadway dry at ali
times. With proper care Of such a ROAD
It should be q practical one at all times.

THERE ARE 1000
CHOICE CLAIMS ON
THE RESERVATION
State Completes Selection OF
$4,000 Acres of Best Unal-
lotted Lands.

Pierre. S. D.. Nov. en-. M. Hansen,
of the state land department, has com
pleted the selection of $4,000 acres of
indemnity lands for the state on the
Standing Rock and Cheyenne reserva-
tons in lieu of sections l6 and 81 in
each township, which Indians have
chosen as allotments.
According to his estimate there arc
about 1000 claims which the govern
ment denominates first class and for
which the maximum appraised price
will be paid. He is also of the opin-
ion that much of the second class land
will be taken as readily as the first,
since it is scheduled at a cheaper
price.
The lands along either side of the
Moreau river, extending as far as
Thunder Butte on the north n Fox
Ridge on the south, are the most de-
sirable to be found on the two reser-
vations.
The state in making its selections
is limited to two sections in a bunch,
being restricted from making selec-
ton of large tracts in solid order as
has been the practice heretofore.
